At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Great overall sound Outstanding bass response Very good noise cancellation Hi-res support Cons Cheap plastic build Hi-res limited to few phones Iffy in-ear detection Software bugs and gripes Our Verdict The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are very good true wireless earbuds with superb noise cancelling and above average bass. They’re a well-priced option if you have an Android phone. Best Prices Today: OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Although they have only been popular for the last five years or so, wireless earbuds are now so ubiquitous it’s difficult to know where to begin when buying a pair (unless you just go and buy AirPods, of course)....

It’s an unusual launch strategy for the company in several ways....

The Oppo Find X3 range has now been confirmed, with three 5G phones making up the line-up and the Pro confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 888. Oppo’s global Find X3 series launch saw the Find X3 Pro joined by cheaper Neo and Lite models.

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Awesome camera system Great battery life Super powerful New camera control button Useful AI features Cons Smaller sensors than the X7 Ultra No autofocus on the selfie camera Magnetic charging only works with case Our Verdict Oppo’s latest flagship is quite possibly the best camera phone available in the UK.

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Slim, pocketable design Excellent photography Incredibly fast Long battery life Speedy charging Cons No camera button or 6x telephoto Smaller main sensor than the Pro Our Verdict The Oppo Find X8 offers a very similar experience to the X8 Pro at a more affordable price. It’s a little smaller in size and it lacks the 6x telephoto lens, but otherwise, they’re very comparable. For a lot of people, this model is the right choice....

Netflix has released another film to bolster its reputation for producing high quality, original films. After the well-received Fair Play , another drama with an excellent cast has dropped. Pain Hustlers takes a look at the murky world of big pharma, and dramatises some of the situations that led to the US opioid crisis. David Yates, who is best known for his work on the Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beast series, directed the film....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Inexpensive Wide colour gamut Fast decoding Cons Pixel response time is poor External power brick Clunky OSD Our Verdict It isn’t for serious gamers, as the response time isn’t good enough for high framerate action titles. But for the occasional gamer who also wants a workhorse, the Philips 242E1GAJ is a bit of a bargain. Best Prices Today: Philips 242E1GAJ Using a monitor designed for business use for gaming has many issues, but the biggest is the limited refresh rates and the lack of support for variable framerates....

Poco has announced a global launch for its first two phones for 2021: the mid-range Poco F3 and the budget gaming powerhouse Poco X3 Pro, which also introduces a new chipset in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860. The Poco F3 is the first true successor to Poco’s very first handset, 2018’s Pocophone F1 – while last year saw the arrival of the F2 Pro , there was technically never any standard Poco F2....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict This system is over-engineered to provide maximum efficiency and low audible noise. To do this, some overclocking potential is sacrificed, although its factory overclocked graphics card makes it one of the best performers when it comes to gaming. Unfortunately, it’s also rather expensive, and far from quiet when gaming. Best Prices Today: Quiet PC Serenity Nano There is no room for sound-proofing material and no space for large, slow-moving cooling fans – the best type for quiet and efficient cooling....

Headlining Xiaomi’s new product event in November in Madrid was the 108Mp penta-lens Mi Note 10 . But Redmi Note 8T was also unveiled, and this NFC-enabled version of the standard Redmi Note 8 is one budget phone you won’t want to overlook. The new edition also adds 18W wired charging. On sale in the UK exclusively through Three (Starscape Blue; £169.99) or direct from Xiaomi (Moonshadow Grey; £179) from 29 November , this version of Redmi Note 8T has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage....

Samsung took to the stage at Galaxy Unpacked to reveal not only the hotly anticipated Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy S20 range, but the next-gen Samsung Galaxy Buds+. Offering improved audio quality, an additional mic for environmental noise cancellation during calls and impressive battery life, there’s a lot to like, but they’re lacking one key feature that stops them from directly competing with Apple’s AirPods Pro. Here’s all you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Buds+, including release date and pricing details along with key new features and specs....

At a Glance Our Verdict The S10 is a fantastic phone with a whole range of new features, it’s a worthy step up from the Galaxy S9 which was a little too similar to the S8 for our liking. If you want a bargain, the S8 still holds up well and is a great deal, but if you’re upgrading from that phone, the S10 is a great choice. Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy S10 The Galaxy S10 is sure to be one of 2019’s favourite smartphones....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Long-term update support Tough but elegant design Superb display Cons Cameras need tweaking Middling battery life A little pricey Our Verdict The S22+ offers a slim and well-built design, with a stunning display, feature-packed software and improved cameras, but there are flaws in the battery and camera software that should have been addressed before this phone made it to market. Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy S22+ On the surface, Samsung’s latest S22+ simply looks like another incremental upgrade with a familiar face, but is there more to this middle-child of a Galaxy S phone than the expected annual hardware updates and design revisions?...

Samsung has announced a new tablet out of the blue ahead of it’s Unpacked event. Here’s what you need to know about the Galaxy Tab S5e including release date and specs.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Stunning design Waterproof Competitive pricing Customisable colours Cons No telephoto lens Limited battery Still some durability concerns Our Verdict I love the Galaxy Z Flip 3. There are drawbacks – battery and camera primarily, though durability is in there too – but Samsung has absolutely nailed the aesthetic and functionality of this form factor. If you don’t get the appeal of a foldable flip phone then this may not win you over – but if you’re tempted, then there’s really no need to wait any longer....

While the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is Samsung’s current foldable king, there’s long been talk of a more ambitious foldable on Samsung’s roadmap – the Galaxy Z Fold S. Unlike the Z Fold 3, the Fold S is expected to boast an adapted hinge design and allow for a full 360-degree range of motion; creating a device that melds the functionality of existing foldables with ‘pseudo-foldables’, like Microsoft’s Surface Duo 2 ; akin to concepts shown off by the likes of TCL ....
