At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Five charging ports 300W total output 140W PD 3.1 port Compact Cons Expensive Our Verdict The Ugreen Nexode 300W is undeniably a powerful GaN charger. You can connect multiple devices to it and watch them charge quickly and efficiently. If we’re going to complain about anything, and we will, it’s that the price is undeniably awesome as well. On the other hand, you are replacing multiple wall chargers with a single desktop one....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict There’s not a lot to dislike about the Nex 3. Importers – especially in the US – are probably better off ditching the 5G and sticking to the regular 4G model, but beyond that this phone offers almost everything you might want from a 2019 flagship. The huge curved panel is beautiful, the battery is banging, and the internal specs rival just about any other phone on the market....

WhatsApp is constantly changing things in its messenger app and adding new features, so it’s not easy to keep track of everything. A lot has happened in the last few weeks and months in particular, with WhatsApp is testing out lots of exciting new functionality.

The Fitbit Charge 5 launched on 25 August, a year and a half after the Charge 4. It’s the first wearable in the Charge series to release after Google’s acquisition of Fitbit and is now available to pre-order from a variety of retailers both in the UK and US. As for what you can expect, the Charge 5 keeps all the features we know and love of the Charge 4 – such as built-in GPS, Active Zone Minutes, and resting heart rate, but it also adds premium features such as skin temperature tracking, ECG with AFib detection, blood oxygen monitoring, and Google Fast Pair support....

After Paul Atreides’ rise in Dune: Part Two, the first TV series in the franchise takes us back over ten thousand years, following the inner workings of one of the most secretive yet powerful organisations in the universe: the Bene Gesserit. The driving character of Dune: Prophecy is Mother Superior Valya Harkonnen, who made a terrifying and formidable first appearance in episode one of the series – played by British acting royalty, Emily Watson....

The Batman contains plenty of surprises, but among the biggest is the appearance of an unnamed prisoner in Arkham Asylum near the film’s conclusion. It’s the sort of scene that should immediately get even a casual comics fan’s attention, but the film is coy about the character – and who’s playing them. Who plays the Arkham prisoner? Stick through the credits (which you might do anyway for the brief post-credits tease ) and you might spot an unexpected name in the cast list: Barry Keoghan, who’s credited as playing “Unseen Arkham Prisoner....

Skincare is a vital element of your beauty routine. There is so much to deal with: the signs of ageing, the build-up of lines and wrinkles, the gradual loss of firmness and muscular tension. The internationally renowned dermatologist Dr. Anita Sturnham is an expert on the causes of these problems. “By the time we hit our 40s,” she writes, “we typically see up to a 50 percent reduction in blood flow to the deeper dermal layers of our skin, which means nutrient supply to the skin is reduced....

Many people opt for phone contracts to avoid paying a large upfront cost for a new phone, but it often works out to be more expensive in the long run, when compared to buying a phone outright and pairing it with a SIM-only deal . However, not everyone can afford an upfront payment on a brand new flagship phone or other tech device. Buying used tech from platforms like eBay or Gumtree can save a significant amount compared to purchasing new....

In the UK, as I write this, we are currently in week two of a three-week lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Pubs and restaurants are shut as are schools. Supermarkets are operating a one-out, one-in policy in an effort to implement social distancing and some basics such as toilet rolls are in short supply. If someone had told me two months ago that our lives were about to become completely different, I wouldn’t have believed it....

After years of hard work and an anxious wait for results, it’s finally happening. You’re off to university! However you’re feeling about this first taste of independence, the preparations are probably well underway.

You may already have one lying around the house, but is it really suitable for 3+ years of studying?...

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Without a doubt you should upgrade an older Windows Phone to Windows 10 Mobile. However, in the wider market things are different. We like the improvements which Microsoft has made, especially Continuum, the new Action Center and smaller things like a better settings menu and more customisation. But, it’s not the complete package just yet with some limited functionality and the ongoing lack of apps....

The new Microsoft Store on Windows 11 is already developing extremely promisingly. An early build of the new OS has only been available to insiders since 28 June, but the Store has seen several new software additions since then. Microsoft’s new attitude to the Store wasn’t one of the headline announcements at its Windows 11 event, but it could prove significant. The company is making it easier for third-party developers to distribute their apps on the Microsoft Store, by removing the previous UWP (Universal Windows Platform) requirement and allowing software that uses Win32 installers....
