At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At £162 it’s difficult to find fault with a smartphone that offers 64GB of storage, a mostly decent camera and a metal chassis with roomy full-HD screen. The Elephone P8 offers good value and performs admirably against its closest competitors, though it lacks the wow factor. Best Prices Today: Elephone P8 Elephone’s P8 Mini is a great budget buy and a real rival to the Moto G5, so we were excited to test the standard Elephone P8 ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Superb video & audio quality Easy to use Solar-powered No subscription Cons Bulky & Conspicuous May still need charging Our Verdict This hassle-free security camera is chunky but is solar powered and has superb picture quality. Best Prices Today: Eufy SoloCam S40 Solar power. That elusive renewable energy we’ve never truly harnessed, despite it now being well into the 21st century.

Microsoft has just revealed a bunch of games due for release on the Xbox Series X , either at launch or at some point in 2021.

There’s a lot to catch up on, and Microsoft has teased that there are hundreds of other games due to be released by the end of 2021, but we can save you the trouble of hunting for the trailers by listing each one right here....

Realme announced the global availability of its latest mid-range phones yesterday at MWC , and it was clear that the handsets were coming to Europe. But after confirming their exit from the UK market last year, we assumed that Brits were out of luck. Still, it’s great news for Realme fans in the UK, and hopefully it’s a sign of things to come. Realme spoke about its strategic plan for growth in 100 markets around the world as part of the launch event, with an aim to double its user base globally in the next three years....

Helping children develop healthy fitness routines is a concern for all parents. While this can be difficult in some cases, the Fitbit Ace range of activity trackers can make hitting steps counts and exercise goals a lot more fun thanks to their playful design and simple software.

In case you missed it, the Pixel 9 series is here. Google’s 2024 flagships now come in four different varieties, with the regular Pixel 9 and 9 Pro joined by 9 Pro XL and 9 Pro Fold . However, as you might expect from new high-end phones, none come cheap. In the UK, the Pixel 9 is £100 more expensive than its predecessor with a starting price of £799. At the other end of the scale, you’ll have to fork out at least £1,749 for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you need a stable iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S4/S5/Note 3 stand and dock, and see the benefits of semi-wireless charging (the dock is wired but the iPhone isn’t) the FUEL iON is a neat solution. The case adds bulk to the slimline phone but does offer robust protection. Its companion products – the circular Charging Pad, and Charging Car Mount – expand the product’s usefulness in the home and in the car....

So Royole may have beaten Huawei and Samsung to the punch, but the Mate X and Galaxy Fold still caused a huge stir at MWC 2019. Unfortunately, since both companies seem determined to prevent journalists from actually touching or trying out the new devices, it’s impossible to answer a lot of important questions. How durable are those hinges and flexible screens? How does Android cope with odd-shaped screens and multiple screens?...

In summary: Tech Advisor reports that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series may not feature Qi2 magnetic charging, despite earlier hints suggesting MagSafe-like functionality. Tipster Ice Universe claims with complete certainty that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will lack the necessary magnets for wireless magnetic charging. This development disappoints expectations, as previous leaks and official cases had suggested the entire S26 range would support advanced charging capabilities. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 range may have just become a whole lot less appealing, as a new report claims that it won’t be getting an expected major upgrade after all....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict For me, Garmin’s Edge remains a delight but while the Vivoactive hasn’t won me over, it’s an affordable and attractive option for swimmers, runners and golfers. There are better ‘general’ activity trackers, and it’s a shame that Garmin didn’t integrate a heart-rate monitor. But if the information on offer is what you’re after – and you need GPS – it’s not a bad deal....
