Earlier this year, the English dub of Ash Ketchum’s 25-year long saga came to a triumphant end, with a long send-off to the young hero. Now, Pokémon is moving ahead with the next generation of its animation, and I got an early first look at the first four episodes. Pokémon Horizons: The Series ditches League training and Team Rocket for a brand-new adventure. Like the Indigo League, it still kicks off in the Kanto region, and features many familiar faces such as Pikachu and Charizard....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict For the cost of a mid-range gaming PC, the PS4 Pro provides high-end textures, dynamic 4K output and a generally improved gaming experience compared to the standard model. Those with regular HDTVs also see the benefits of the Console, and it’s a similar story with PlayStation VR users. If you’re a part of Sony’s ecosystem, the PS4 Pro is a worthy upgrade....

In a world where most smartphones tend to provide around a day’s worth of use, most of us have gotten into the habit of charging our phones every night when we go to bed. While that’ll set you up with 100% battery by the time you wake up, you might actually be doing more harm than good. That’s not a new idea – tech experts have been advising against leaving phones on charge for hours at a time for years – but new anecdotal evidence from TikToker @shoandtech sheds new light onto just how much damage it can do and, more importantly, how much better your battery life could be if you break the overnight charging habit....

At a Glance Our Verdict The Razer Blade Stealth 13 could be a phenomenal piece of kit for anyone who wants to game on the go – as long as it actually keeps up with Razer’s performance claims and doesn’t burn your lap in the process. As with any Razer tech, the only other thing to pause over is the price, but for power like this you will have to pay....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At under £30, this Phantom 3 BackPack is a bargain and a must-have accessory for transporting your drone safely and easily. Best Prices Today: Realacc BackPack for DJI Phantom 3 It wasn’t until the Phantom 4 that DJI decided to make the packaging a carry case. Even then, the case had only a carry handle and no shoulder straps. If you have a Phantom 3 , then this backpack is one of the lightest and cheapest ways to carry it to your launch point....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Strong performance Responsive 120Hz Super AMOLED screen 80W fast charging Cons Main camera outgunned by rivals Poor supplementary cameras Divisive design Our Verdict The Realme GT Neo 3T is another assured mid-range effort from this prolific brand, offering strong performance, a 120Hz AMOLED screen and speedy charging. However, it’s remarkably similar to last year’s Neo 2 and there’s strong competition at this price point....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Powerful Good for travel (light, foldable) Choice of heat and speed settings Cons Can tangle hair if used on highest setting Our Verdict The Enigma Revelation is light, small and portable – but as powerful as any rival. If you’re looking for a high quality hair dryer you can easily pack up and take away with you, we’d recommend it. Best Prices Today: Revamp Enigma Revelation hair dryer We’ve tested some incredible hair care technology recently and Revamp’s new hair dryer, the Enigma Revelation, is one such product....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent battery life Good suction Great cleaning attachments Cons Misleading timer Main cleaning head loses contact with floor Pointless smart features Our Verdict There’s a lot to like about Roidmi’s new flagship cordless vacuum – but it’s not a flawless product. While we think it’s a decent all-rounder with good suction and some fantastic cleaning attachments, we don’t think it’s worth the RRP. But if you can pick it up at a discount, that’s a different matter....

Roku and TCL are teaming up to release a new line of TVs in the UK. Coming in both HD and 4K UHD, the TCL televisions will have Roku OS 10 straight out of the box and will go on sale this month at budget prices. The 4K TV range comes in four sizes, 43-, 50-, 55- and 65in, whilst the HD line comes in two sizes, 32- and 40in (the latter comes with a Full HD panel)....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Sleek S23-inspired design Long battery life User-friendly software Cons Slow charging Display not as good as rivals Mixed cameras Our Verdict Whilst the Galaxy A14 makes compromises to keep the costs down, it’s a big step up from the previous generation and will almost certainly be a budget contender for many buyers. Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy A14 Samsung may be best known for its flagship S-series and foldable devices, but it also has a range of phones to suit those with a more conservative budget....

Samsung’s Galaxy A series has long been known for delivering impressive phones at a very reasonable price. The Galaxy A14 and A14 5G are no exceptions, offering the familiar Samsung experience for far less than the company’s flagships. As their names suggest, only one has 5G support. But that’s by no means the only difference between them. In this detailed comparison, we’ll run through everything you need to know. Differences between Samsung Galaxy A14 and A14 5G Both the Galaxy A14 and A14 5G share a similar design, available in Silver, Black, or Green....

Samsung has unveiled a 5G upgrade to this year’s Galaxy A23 budget phone, and now we know that this affordable 5G handset is launching in the US. Here’s all we know so far about the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G. When will the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G be released? A 4G version of the phone is already available in India and some other markets, after launching in March alongside the Galaxy A03, Galaxy A13 (both 4G and 5G), Galaxy A33 5G , Galaxy A53 5G , and Samsung Galaxy A73 5G ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict There’s nothing wrong with a cheap, functional smartphone, and the Galaxy Fame is exactly that. The trouble is that even at this price the Fame is being squeezed out by much better phones that cost roughly the same amount. Windows-toting Lumia 520 is a much better performer at a similar size, and the Moto’s E and -G knock the Fame for six. It’s not a bad deal, but for just a tiny bit more there are better deals to be had....

Samsung may have moved onto the Note 20 series for its flagship phones, but it’s not done with the S20 line yet. The company has launched a more affordable take on the range with the Galaxy S20 FE – aka the Fan Edition. The S20 Fan Edition packs in some of the best features of the flagship S20 – a 120Hz display, triple camera and 5G support (though the UK is also getting a 4G version) – but slashes the price by dropping a few flashy features like 8K video recording....

At a Glance Our Verdict These are unquestionably two of the finest Android smartphones you can buy right now. They also have enough distinctions between them to make choosing the right model for you reasonably simple. If you want the S-Pen, with all its doodling marvels, then the Note 8 is the one. It’s a powerful, beautifully designed device that will not disappoint. Those not too bothered by the idea of a stylus should move onto the S9 without hesitation....

Samsung looks set to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE foldables on 9 July, according to a reputable tipster. Evan Blass, aka @evleaks, has taken to X to announce that Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on 9 July 2025 at 10AM EDT (that’s 2PM GMT). Given that ‘EDT’ designation, it seems likely that we’re looking at a New York-based Unpacked event....

Launching alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Flip 3 and Buds 2, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Series offers up what looks like more choice than ever before; with two variants, each in two sizes and all available with optional 4G LTE connectivity. The Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic serve up two distinct design styles while delivering on performance (by way of a new Samsung-made wearable chipset) and dish out a new user experience; debuting the latest iteration of Wear OS , which the company has co-developed with Google....

Alongside the latest foldable phones, Samsung also launched its new smartwatches at its big Unpacked July event, and I had the chance to take the Galaxy Watch 8 for a quick test drive ahead of the show, so here are my initial impressions. Just like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , the Galaxy Watch 8 has been slimmed down. The new model is 11% slimmer than the Galaxy Watch 7 , which improves the stability on your wrist and makes it more comfortable to wear round the clock....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Superb cover screen Great internal display Excellent main rear camera Top-tier software experience Seven years of updates Cons Battery life could be better Painfully slow 25W charging Still no telephoto camera Our Verdict The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the flip phone I’ve been waiting for from Samsung, with the big cover display, superior cameras and long software support making it a better buy than the Razr 60 Ultra for most people....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Large 7.6in display is great for multitasking Hugely improved rear camera setup All-day battery life New software enhancements via Android 12L Cons Still a gap between displays when folded Under display camera is bad App support is hit-and-miss 25W charging is slow in 2022 Our Verdict The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a refined foldable with improved durability, great performance and pixel-perfect cameras, but it doesn’t do much differently to its predecessor....
