Go Away, Iphone Air 2

The iPhone Air 2 looks set to launch later this year – and I really wish it wasn’t. Now, don’t get me wrong, I can see the appeal of the iPhone Air. Essentially, you’re getting the familiar iPhone experience, including top-tier performance, within an incredibly thin and light chassis. But, having reviewed the original , it was obvious that the phone needed significant changes. The cameras are badly hamstrung, the speakers are terrible and charging is painfully slow....

Google Won’T Abandon Pixel Tablets (Again)

I am an unabashed Android fanboy, and I’ve bought a lot of Android tablets, mostly from Google. The Nexus 7 (both generations), Nexus 9, even the ill-fated Pixel C and Pixel Slate. But I resisted the urge to buy the generically-named Pixel Tablet , and you would too if the last two high-end Google tablets you bought turned out to be one-off duds. Fortunately, it looks like Google has a little more faith in its latest iteration....

Hisense 55K321 Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Overall, you can’t knock the Hisense 55K321 for value. If you want a big UHD screen that £699 price is a steal, but this isn’t a set to buy if you want to make the most of 4K sports. However if you’re looking for a step up from 1080p, which will work with HDCP 2.2 content sources at a reasonable price, it’s well worth auditioning....

Hive Active Plug, Motion Sensor, Door And Window Sensor Review

What we can see is they have the potential to be excellent and most of that potential could be just a few app updates away. If you already have Hive Heating and are Considering buying smart sensors or plugs then it’s worth taking the risk that the app updates won’t come (since they probably will)....
