At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Small and robust Hardware encryption 1-, 2- or 4TB capacities Cons European pricing No USB-A cable adapter Unavailable software tools Our Verdict For US customers, the aggressive pricing of the X9 Pro and its extra features make it a no-brainer.

Some were: the Mavic Mini is a 249g drone which doesn’t have to be registered in the UK, US and other countries....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A stunning design isn’t enough to conceal the imperfections, and while the U Pro from Elephone makes a very decent mid-range handset you will get more for less money elsewhere, such as in the Mi 8 Lite and Mi A2. Nonetheless, as mid-range phones go we don’t think too many users will be disappointed. Best Prices Today: Elephone U Pro Elephone’s U Pro follows on from the Elephone S8 and S7 before it, and while those phones were obviously clones of Samsung’s same-name S-series flagships, for the U Pro it has moved away from that theme – in name, if nothing else....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At £100 the Finow X5 sounds – and looks – like a great smartwatch. Unfortunately, a lack of app support (at least without Google Play as it was supplied to us) makes it unappealing for use in place of a smartphone, and it just doesn’t function very well as a companion device. For UK users at least, this smartwatch as supplied out of the box is of little use....
