At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Quality Construction Bright 90Hz screen Pen included Many smart features Cons Limited performance Poor colour reproduction Mediocre cameras Slow 15W charging Our Verdict If the Tab M11 had delivered on all the points that Lenovo claims, it would have been an incredibly good tablet for a budget price. Now it is rather a typical tablet for so little money, with underperforming hardware that struggles to perform all the bonus features and does not always succeed....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A year or two ago this would have been a strong contender for the best Chromebook around. But, with the likes of the Asus C302CA and C213NA offering (respectively) premium build and rugged performance, the ThinkPad 13 Chromebook has a harder fight on its hands. The excellent keyboard, solid battery life, varied port selection, and robust build quality are very nice to have, but these advantages are offset by poor speakers, a wobbly trackpad and an average display....

LG has officially lifted the curtain on its new TVs at CES 2024, but one of the biggest pieces of news is not the hardware itself. The Korean tech company has confirmed that new models in the range will get an impressive five years of webOS upgrades, starting with webOS 28. That means that even if you don’t have the latest model from LG in a few years, you’ll still get the latest feature upgrades for free....

MWC might have been cancelled, but LG has still announced the new V60 ThinQ smartphone. And the firm wasn’t going to have a press conference anyway. The handset arrives as a 5G-enabled dual-screen alternative to the quesionably fragile foldable phones that are hitting shops. Folding phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr are making waves but don’t appear to be fully ready for the primetime with dubious build quality....

When is the LG Watch Sport/Style release date? 10 February 2017 (US) The new smartwatches will go on sale in the US on 10 February. They will then be available to buy in “ key markets in Europe and Asia via the Google Store and select retail stores later this month”. That will include the UK. LG isn’t the only watch maker tipped to be showing off Android Wear 2.0 devices at MWC 2017 either: there’s also the Huawei Watch 2 ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Launch control Great value Cons Limited support for TrueForce Our Verdict The G923 is a subtle improvement on its predecessor and remains the best-value wheel for sim racing Best Prices Today: Logitech G923 When Logitech announced the G923 there was a lot of excitement, quickly followed by disappointment that there was ‘nothing different’ about it compared to the G29 and G920. And that’s partial ly true: the G923 does reuse a lot from its predecessors....

At a Glance Our Verdict If you have lots of USB gadgets to charge overnight or want to cut down on the number of chargers you pack in your suitcase, the Lumsing 5-port Travel Wall Charger serves a useful purpose. Best Prices Today: Lumsing DCH-5U 5-port USB Travel Wall Charger If you’re planning a summer holiday you’ll soon need to make the painful decision of whether to pack your favourite pair of shoes or instead squeeze in the mass of smartphone-, tablet- and camera chargers every modern traveller must also now find room for in their suitcase....

Not long ago, Samsung revealed its flagship Exynos 2400 chipset. Soon after, Qualcomm showcased the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 . But the roster of flagship chips for Android smartphones in the upcoming year would be incomplete without a contribution from MediaTek. With the Dimensity 9300 now official, here’s everything you need to know about the new SoC, plus how it compares to those rivals. When will the first MediaTek Dimensity 9300 phones launch?...

The chipset is arguably the most important part of any phone. It’s fundamental for the performance of the device, but also increasingly relied on for AI capabilities. If you’re choosing a flagship Android phone or tablet in 2026, you’ll have two main options. Qualcomm’s rebranded Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 might be the obvious one, but ignore MediaTek at your peril. The latter’s new Dimensity 9500 is a very strong choice on paper, delivering several key upgrades that might even give it the upper hand this time around....

After years of teasers and leaks, the Meta Quest Pro is official. Revealed at Meta Connect 2022, the high-end headset has its sights set on Mixed Reality, boasting full-colour passthrough and a design specifically tailored to a comfortable MR experience. Throw in a complete redesign with a much thinner head-mounted display, eye and face tracking, improved performance and upgraded controllers and you’ve got the most capable standalone VR headset on the market at the moment – on paper, anyway....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent cleaning performance Low profile Great design Good display Cons Expensive Poor climbing ability Error message issues Navigation oddities Our Verdict With beautifully designed hardware and a great cleaning performance, this robot vacuum is far from average. But its limited feature set and a couple of operational oddities make it hard to wholeheartedly recommend at this price point.

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros High build quality and thoughtful design Powerful suction, especially in max mode Long battery life (and a spare, if you buy the Pro model) HEPA filter Cons Can feel clumsy and difficult to manoeuvre Pricey Our Verdict £699/$929 for a stick vacuum cleaner may seem daunting, but at the same time, it should be noted that the Triflex HX2 offers an extraordinary sense of quality and performs really well on most surfaces....

At a Glance Our Verdict While an accomplished budget device, the Nokia 5 looks a little behind compared to the admittedly newer Moto G6. The G6 is clearly the superior device with an attractive glass design, dual cameras and improved processor. But that comes at a £50 price jump from the previous generation, and the Nokia 5 is a perfectly serviceable budget phone. If you like the design and can put up with a 720p non-HD display, then you’ll find it the cheaper option....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Moto Z2 Play is a great mid-range smartphone; it features a gorgeous design, premium build and the Moto Mods support provides extended functionality based on what you require from the smartphone, from extra battery power to an improved speaker and even a built-in projector. Despite the smaller battery, the Snapdragon 626 processor is incredibly efficient and we comfortably lasted a day on a single charge, and when we did run out it was quick to top up thanks to the included fast charging tech....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Strong battery life Very tidy design for the money Bright, crisp display Relatively clean software Cons Very sluggish performance Software bloat creeping in Display only a 60Hz LCD Our Verdict Motorola has turned out a well-built phone for less than £150, but in some ways, the Moto G15 feels like poor value. It’s incredibly slow, packs an underwhelming display, and Motorola’s software isn’t the strong suit it used to be....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Good battery life Camera setup is solid Big display Cons Display dim and lacking in resolution Very slow performance Glacial charging Our Verdict The G22 has a large display, and classy matt finish rear panel. There’s a “hole punch” camera, and even a headphone jack – but performance is awful. Motorola has offered a solid number of budget-to-mid-range phones in recent years, and the Moto G22 slots into that lineup nicely at £149/€189....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Can be used almost anywhere Records if Wi-Fi goes down Good battery life Cons 3 hour window for free event storage Only 1080p No integration outside of Google apps & hardware Our Verdict At this price, the Nest Cam battery isn’t easy to recommend. It’s best suited to those who already have other Google hardware in their homes. Best Prices Today: Google Nest Cam (Battery) The Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery) – to give it its full name – is the first smart security camera to have Google branding: it’s been that long since the previous Nest Cam launched....

Until now the Nokia 4 has been nothing more than a gap in Nokia’s numerical product line, along with the Nokia 1 , Nokia 9 and Nokia 10 . It’s surely common sense that the company might launch such a device, but thanks to some data spotted in the Nokia Camera APK we now know Nokia’s thinking on the same lines as us. (See How to watch Nokia MWC 2018 live stream ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We’ve long been lovers of the Moto G series for the top pick in the budget Android category, and the Nokia 5 nearly knocks it off the top spot. With a better camera, excellent performance and a stunning design, we are blown away by the low price tag offered here. A downside is the screen resolution, but if you can look past this and you’re looking for an Android smartphone that costs less than £200, you can’t get much better than this....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Lumia 930 is a step in the right direction with its semi-metal design and decent hardware line-up. We like the screen and camera but it’s lacking additional features and doesn’t have expandable storage. Windows Phone 8.1 vastly improves things on the software side but the platform is still not a priority for developers – especially when it comes to third-party hardware. Best Prices Today: Nokia Lumia 930 If you didn’t know, Microsoft now owns Nokia and is putting all its focus on the Windows Phone platform – no more Android-powered Nokia X devices....
