At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We weren’t expecting the 970 EVO Plus but we’re certainly not complaining about this addition to Samsung’s SSD range. This drive is one to go for if you want the best performance from an NVMe slot. There’s little to dislike apart from the fact it has a rival offering better value. Best Prices Today: Samsung 970 EVO Plus The appearance of the Samsung 970 Evo Plus is unexpected, as historically Samsung don’t have ‘Plus’ releases that follow new product generations just six months later....

Samsung’s One UI 8.5 is just around the corner, and it looks set to deliver a key upgrade to a forgotten feature. The company’s Bixby digital assistant, which launched on the Galaxy S8 series back in 2017, is rumoured to become a much bigger part of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series . As SamMobile reports , the new-look Bixby will supposedly integrate two AI assistants: US giant Perplexity, and DeepSeek , the Chinese rival which took the world by storm in early 2025....

At a Glance Our Verdict If you’re firmly embedded in the iOS camp, the iPhone 8 may be your natural choice. However, for similar money, the Galaxy S9 does offer more particularly in the screen and design departments even if it’s the spitting image of the S8. Apple’s phones do have a number of upgrades over the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but none are significant enough to tempt owners of those models to upgrade....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Wear OS works better than ever Tasteful, tactile design Feature-packed Great performance Cons Some Samsung phone-exclusive features Price premium for Classic styling Wear OS 3 with caveats Our Verdict The best smartwatch on the market right now, hampered only by the fact that some of its latest and greatest features are exclusive to Samsung Galaxy users. You also pay a premium for that Classic styling....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Fantastic detail Great color and contrast Upscales 4K and lower-res content One Connect breakout box Very thin profile Cons Some issues with backlighting Audio lacks thump Our Verdict Samsung’s latest 8K TV isn’t cheap, but it delivers fantastic image quality, whether it’s upscaling the 4K content you’re most likely to encounter in the real world to the amazing native 8K content that will blow you mind with its detail....

This year’s first Galaxy Unpacked event unveiled some exciting additions to Samsung’s technological arsenal. In addition to the expected launch of the Galaxy S25 series , Samsung not only announced the return of the Edge series but also showed off Project Moohan, its foray into augmented, virtual, and mixed reality – though it wasn’t mentioned on stage at all. This XR (Extended Reality) headset was developed in collaboration with Google and runs Android XR, an operating system tailored for XR devices and developed jointly by Samsung, Google and Qualcomm....

If you’ve discovered you enjoy baking, a mixer is a must-have purchase. But which should you get? Hand mixer What to look out for A hand mixer can be yours for a tenner, while stand mixers start at about £100. So, that’s one point in favour of a hand mixer. But it’s not as simple as it sounds. First off, we wouldn’t recommend buying a £10 hand mixer. If you spend too little, you’ll end up replacing it quickly and spending more as time goes on....

Hearing aid manufacturer Signia has unveiled the Active and Active Pro, the first hearing aids that are almost indistinguishable from standard true wireless earbuds. The Active aids look just like regular earbuds – complete with portable charging case – and in fact double as them too, with the ability to stream audio and phone calls via Bluetooth from your phone. That functionality exists in some other premium hearing aids, but it’s by borrowing from earbud design language that Signia stands out....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Beautiful design and build Quiet, easy to use steam wand Plenty of customisation options Cons You’ll need to remember what the multifunction buttons do Rear water tank placement Customising isn’t intuitive Our Verdict This is a lovely machine that produces great coffee. But multifunction buttons instead of a screen mean you’ll need to learn settings or keep a manual to hand. Best Prices Today: Smeg bean-to-cup coffee machine Depending on where you are in the world, this appliance is called an automatic coffee maker or a bean-to-cup machine....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros 11 ports inc. four Thunderbolt 4 90W laptop charging Cons No traditional display ports Laptop port on front Our Verdict There are cheaper Thunderbolt 4 hubs available, also with four T4 ports, but they lack the Echo 11 Dock’s Gigabit Ethernet and SD Card slots plus headphone jack, and charge the connected laptop at 60W rather than this dock’s more powerful 90W. Thunderbolt 4 is the latest computer connection technology, and it’s becoming popular for its speed and backwards compatibility with the more established Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Well made and pleasingly light, with decent enough audio, Sony’s MDR-EX110AP in-ear headphones are decent value at under £20. Best Prices Today: Sony MDR-EX110AP Apart from the glossy red finish of these headphones , the Sony MDR-EX110APs are as nondescript as headphones get – a pair of tiny drivers with black rubber grommets and a small, single-button remote dangling from the left-hand cable. The audio cable is thin – compared to the fabric used on RHA’s MA450i headphones – and feels like it might not stand up to much abuse....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a stunning smartphone, both in terms of design and performance. The mirror-like look isn’t for everyone due to the appearance of smudges, but it helps provide an elegant, high-end look. The 4K HDR display is one-of-a-kind, bright and vibrant, and shows off snaps taken by the impressive Motion Eye camera perfectly. The camera itself can handle almost anything you can throw at it, although performance does slip in low-lit conditions and the super slow-mo video mode takes some practice....

After Fortnite developer Epic Games took on the behemoth that is Apple by trying to circumvent its in-app purchase system back in 2020, the hugely popular game was booted off the App Store – much to the dismay of mobile gamers around the world. An epic court case ensued, pun intended, and after months of courtroom chatter, Apple largely came out the winner. It meant that Apple was under no obligation to allow Fornite to return to the App Store, and it didn’t....

Warning! The trailer and content of South Park: The Fractured But Whole is rated 18. It contains humour and language some may find offensive. The multi-platform follow up to 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth turns away from the fantasy theme and has the kids playing superheroes. We find out what the Coon and Friends will have to face in their next adventure in South Park: The Fractured But Whole and where you can buy it from....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict South Park: The Fractured But Whole provides a thoroughly enjoyable experience for fans of the TV series, allowing you to go head-to-head with characters you’ve watched for 20 years. The improved turn-by-turn combat system is in-depth and satisfying but rarely requires you to be strategic, which is a shame. It’s also a fun experience creating and tweaking your own superhero throughout the course of the game, changing everything from the costume to combat style and more....

The low-resolution screen is compensated for by the long battery life, good performance and a main camera that is surprisingly solid...
