The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has finally arrived, and with it, may well kick off a new trend of super-slim phones . Not that I’m sure anyone has really been asking for it, any change in the smartphone market is welcome to keep things fresh. I quite like the idea of the Galaxy S25 Edge in various ways, but can’t help thinking that Samsung has missed a trick. To put it simply, the Galaxy S25 Edge should have been portless....

Gaming chairs are a great way to showcase your flair, with just about every colour combination you could think of available from one manufacturer or another. Let’s not forget about the limited-edition chairs from the likes of Secretlab either, with branding from popular titles like Batman and Minecraft available from its online store. The question is, what happens when you want to redecorate your gaming space or, more simply, get tired of staring at the same Cyberpunk 2077 logo years after the game’s release?...

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Sennheiser GSP 670 is a great all-round headset, offering a fairly comfortable fit, extensive on-headset controls to tweak every aspect of your audio experience and, most importantly, the sound quality is superb. It is expensive though, and it’s lacking a couple of key features that stop it from being one of the best headsets on the market. Best Prices Today: Sennheiser GSP 670 The Sennheiser GSP 670 is the crown of the German company’s gaming headset collection, offering a combination of sturdy design, wireless connectivity and the premium audio quality that Sennheiser is known for worldwide....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you want more than the fairly simple facilities provided by online design apps, Serif WebPlus X7 has maintained its position as the designer of choice in the sub-£100 market.

Not only does it vacuum, mop and refill itself like its predecessor, but it empties dirty water and washes and dries its mopping pad too, ready for its next clean....

Sky has officially unveiled the Glass Gen 2 as its latest smart TV to upgrade your living room. Unveiled today in Central London, the new TV will replace the current Sky Glass when it goes on sale tomorrow, 12 February 2025. You can order it from Sky , and it will also be available via Currys later this month. Some of the biggest changes to this generation of TVs include a brighter 4K HDR Quantum Dot panel, with better contrast and a wider viewing angle thanks to more LEDs and more dimming zones, with less blooming....

Sony’s next flagship phone is so good that the company numbered it twice. That’s right, instead of an Xperia 2 we’re getting an Xperia 1 II – to avoid confusion around its other Xperia 5 and Xperia 10 phones – and that’s before we even get to the Xperia 10 II . For clarification, while it might read as ‘Xperia one two’, Sony is actually borrowing this new naming methodology from its camera division, where entrants like the Alpha 9 have released under the same name across multiple years/generations....

At a Glance Our Verdict With a similar performance level available on both phones, Sony makes it clear that XZ1’s strong advantage is the screen size and 1080p, HDR compliant display. Is it worth £100 difference in price? If you regularly use your phone to watch movies or play high-definition games, you will likely need a larger screen and benefit from high resolution and HDR. It would then make sense to invest in an Xperia XZ1....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Sony Xperia XZ3 is Sony’s best phone. It has a brilliant screen, cool if acquired design and an improved camera. It is still less refined than the Galaxy S9 and lacks staple features like face unlock. The new Side sense feature, regrettably, is terrible. But with Android 9 Pie, slick performance and great audio and visual, the XZ3 is a Sony phone you might lust after....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A 4K smartphone might seem like something you want but you really don’t need it and it’s an expensive card to play in order to trump your mates. The device is also big, uncomfortable and brash. Hardware is the same as the regular Z5 so it really comes down to the screen, which doesn’t even display 4K much of the time. We strongly recommend steering clear of the Premium which is this year’s most unnecessary phone and sticking to the regular Z5 or one its alternatives....

Mobile World Congress is back, and while it’s not exactly bigger than ever, the returned trade show is still one of the most important moments in the mobile industry calendar. This year still saw plenty of major launches, with the likes of Realme, Honor, and Poco all taking the opportunity to launch new phones, while elsewhere we saw new laptops, wearables, and more.

The ability to use SSD caching and enhance with 2.5GbE LAN makes this design a more flexible and affordable option than the Synology DS213j....

One upon a time, antivirus apps did only that: protect you from viruses. They still do that but a lot more alongside it these days. Think of modern antivirus as all-round security software, keeping you safe while using any device, anywhere. Some also include features such as VPNs and password managers to add value. Traditionally, you might also think of antivirus as a program for your computer. All of the six services included here might be best known for their Windows 10 or 11 apps, but they’re also available on an iPhone or Android phone ....

If you’ve never tried a robot vacuum, or if you’re ready to upgrade your current model, you can now get a great range of features without spending a fortune. There will be some compromises to be made but the best budget robot vacuums can provide both vacuuming and mopping, good navigation and accurate mapping, and very often, an auto-empty dock that’ll give you 30-90 days of hands-free cleaning. In some cases, the recommended models below are slightly older robots that have come down in price since their launch....

If antivirus is free, it can’t be any good, right? Actually, you might be surprised to learn that the free antivirus apps available from Avast, AVG, Avira and even Microsoft are just as good as those you pay for. That’s because the free versions use exactly the same ‘engines’ as their paid-for counterparts. It’s not a scam, either. When you pay for antivirus software, you tend to get extra features beyond protection from viruses and companies seem to be happy to give away the antivirus part for free....
