At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent print quality 2-sided printing Scanner with ADF Cons No screen Paper pickup & feeding issues Our Verdict The 6420 cuts corners such as a screen to include features such as 2-sided printing and an ADF at an affordable price. It frustrated us with paper handling problems, though. Best Prices Today: HP Envy Pro 6420/6455 The HP Envy Pro 6420 is a colour all-in-one printer, scanner and copier whose design makes it look more like a piece of space-age architecture than a your run-of-the-mill home office equipment....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It may be cheap but out of the box, but the HP ProBook 455 G2 Ubuntu won’t suit many users. A newer Ubuntu or Windows OS may help, but it’s not one for the typical untutored budget PC buyer. Best Prices Today: HP ProBook 455 G2 Ubuntu One way to get a dirt-cheap laptop is to buy one not with Windows but Ubuntu preinstalled....

At a Glance Our Verdict We’re waiting for an official UK price but we can predict the Desire 820 will cost around £300 and that’s pretty good for a nice looking albeit plastic smartphone with a 13Mp rear camera and a 64-bit Octa-core processor ready for Android L. Look out for a full review soon. Best Prices Today: HTC Desire 820 HTC continues to keep the Desire range going and the Desire 820 is a follow-up to the Desire 816 ....

At a Glance Our Verdict The iPhone 5s and HTC One M8 are closely matched on price, build quality and performance and there’s no clear winner. The M8 benefits from more versatile storage, a bigger screen, customisable software and its unique Duo Camera. Meanwhile, the iPhone has a better all-round camera, a fingerprint scanner and simpler software. Best Prices Today: HTC One (M8) HTC has improved an already excellent smartphone to create the HTC One M8 , but can it take on the iPhone 5s ?...

Oppo recently renewed its partnership with the legendary photography company, Hasselblad . To mark the occasion, I was invited over to Hasselblad’s hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden, and I spent the week shooting photos on Oppo’s most powerful camera phone, the Find X8 Ultra. The phone originally launched back in April, but it’s only officially available in China. So, until now, I hadn’t been able to fully test its capabilities. Some are calling it the best camera phone ever made, but the competition from the likes of Google, Samsung and Apple is extremely fierce, so how good is this thing, exactly?...

Vivo just launched its latest flagship smartphones in China. They’re the X300 and the X300 Pro. In my opinion, Vivo’s X-series phones have offered the best photography experience in the last few years, so my expectations were sky-high. This year, the lineup is slightly different. There’s no X300 Pro Mini; instead, the base model X300 comes in a compact, pocket-friendly size, but with many of the same features as the X300 Pro....

As if your current roster of household chores isn’t enough, I’m going to suggest a new job. If you keep reading, I think you’ll be only too happy to add it to your to-do list. A bit of a content warning though: put that sandwich down before you continue. Unpleasant revelations lie ahead. If you wake up with itchy skin or allergy symptoms such as sniffles or watery eyes, if you suffer from asthma or eczema, or even if you just want a nice clean bed, you should regularly vacuum your mattress....

As someone who tests phones for a living, my SIM card rarely stays in the same device for more than a month. On average, I’ve switched to a new smartphone around 10 times in the past year, and on more than 50 occasions in the last five years. That’s a lot! These days, switching from one Android phone to another is easier than ever before. Simply connect your two devices (wirelessly or via USB-C), and almost everything will be handled for you....

The fast charging smartphone wars have been raging for several years, and now another company has yet again upped its game. Infinix , the Chinese smartphone maker, has announced 260W wired charging and 110W wireless charging. The company says the 260W technology can charge a phone with a 4400mAh battery from 1- to 100% in 7.5 minutes. It has previously shown off 160W and 180W solutions. “The charging architecture uses a 4-Pump Intelligent Circuit Design that intelligently identifies power requirements and allocates the number of charge pumps needed to work,” Infinix said....

At a Glance Our Verdict The iPad mini 4 is the “best” iPad mini, but that’s from a technical standpoint. If you’re happy to trade off performance, screen quality, camera quality, and a Touch ID sensor (plus the more subtle differences in the table) then the £100 saving on the iPad mini 2 means it could be the one for you. The upgrades arguably make the mini 4 worth that extra £100 and it will no doubt be a more future-proof purchase if you care about being able to upgrade to the latest version of iOS....

The iPad Pro is more like a laptop than ever before because of its bigger screen and optional keyboard dock. Here we explain the pros and cons of an iPad Pro versus a ‘proper’ laptop so you can decide which to buy. The choice of laptops is much broader now than in years past, with hybrids (2-in-1s), touchscreen models and your basic non-touch laptop. There’s another category, too: tablets which become laptops when you connect a keyboard....

Apple has officially lifted the lid on the iPhone 14 range, and there’s one big difference: there’s no iPhone 14 Mini. As rumoured prior to announcement, the small-screen iPhone has been canned in favour of a new 6.7in non-Pro model. For the first time since Apple’s standard and Pro deviation, iPhone users have the choice of enjoying a big-screen iPhone without having to pay for all the other high-end tech available on the top-end Pro Max model....

Google’s A-series phones have always been about delivering premium features at a more affordable mid-range price point. The new Pixel 9a looks set to continue that tradition. But how does it stack up against its predecessor, the Pixel 8a ? Let’s dive into the key differences and whether the Pixel 9a is worth the upgrade. Design & Build The Pixel 9a is getting a bit of a facelift, bringing it more in line with Google’s flagship Pixel 9 lineup ....

Jabra has unveiled three new pairs of true wireless headphones as part of a shake up to how it brands its audio gear going forward. The re-structure positions the company’s earbuds into three broad strands: Elite, Elite Active, and Elite Pro, with one new launch already here for each product line. Each also bears a number, to let you know roughly where it sits within Jabra’s new ecosystem. At the top are the new flagship Elite 7 Pro....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict What you think of John Wick: Chapter 2 will ultimately come down to what you thought of the first one, and what you think of action cinema in general. If you loved Keanu’s first outing as the hitman who was just a little too attached to his dog, you’ll adore this – it’s basically more of the same, but even bigger and even sillier....

Our biggest problem is with the less-than-exemplary brush heads, which can be hard to remove from the brush handle....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Built-in Amazon Alexa speaker Compostable coffee capsules Impressive espresso Cons No milk tank or frother Expensive at full price Smart coffee options still limited Our Verdict The Lavazza Voicy is a great option for current or future Alexa users looking for a space-saving way to add an Echo speaker into the kitchen and up their caffeine game. The smart features don’t really help when it comes to making coffee, but good espresso and a solid smart speaker make this a good buy – but you’re better off buying it on Lavazza’s capsule subscription offer than at the RRP....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Miix 630 is basically budget performance in a premium body, with 4G and a big battery to help sweeten the deal. It could be a great option for users who want a 2-in-1 laptop that’s easy to use on the go, without worrying about battery life or Wi-Fi connections, but only if you’re happy to stick to word processing and web browsing. If you need anything much more intensive than that you’re probably better off looking elsewhere – which would be easier to swallow from a cheaper device, but for something nearing a grand it’s a harder sell....
