HTC has today revealed something quite unlike anything we’ve seen before in the VR space – and that’s because, despite the heavy VR focus from Vive, the company claims that it’s not a headset. Instead, HTC refers to the Vive Flow as its first pair of “immersive glasses” – and I’ve been lucky enough to go hands-on (or is that eyes-on?) with the lightweight headset ahead of release in November....

The 2020 F1 season will begin at the Red Bull Ring in Austria in a few weeks, and it can’t come soon enough. The virtual racing has been fun, but it can’t really compare to the real deal – even if there won’t be any spectators for the first eight races. While purists want to see the raw data synced perfectly with the on-screen video, the new rankings will offer a data-based insight into how each car (and driver) is performing both overall and on specific parts of the track....

Could there BE any worse streaming news?! Friends only has hours left on Netflix UK , after an impressive seven years on the platform. You’ll be able to watch all ten seasons of the 90s/2000s sitcom up until the end of today, Tuesday 30 December 2025 , after which it will be taken off the service. The question is… where will you be able to stream it next? I’ve watched every episode probably more than I should have, and I track where to stream shows across the world for a living....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Get Even’s ambition has a tendency to outstrip its reach, but it’s always worth encouraging games willing to try and push the medium’s limits. Slightly uneven gunplay and a few clichéd story beats aside, Get Even is Consistently memorable, interesting, and surprising, and for that alone it’s worth your time. Best Prices Today: Get Even These days it sometimes feels like your sci-fi doesn’t count unless it’s questioning the nature of perception, memory, or reality itself – and Get Even is no exception....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Gigabyte Aero 15X is a fantastic gaming laptop for those who want something they can carry around the house easily or take around to use as a day-to-day laptop too. Its 4K screen is fantastic, build quality is good as it has perfect performance for 1080p gaming. It’ll even handle some titles at 4K resolution. Our one significant disappointment is that battery life is nowhere near as long as last year’s model according to our tests....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros A rare premium, compact Android phone Pixelsnap opens up access to a huge accessory ecosystem Some of the most capable AI functionality around Capable, more versatile camera than ever before Cons The base 128GB storage should be avoided Lacklustre CPU & GPU performance for a flagship Minor upgrade on predecessor Overpriced Our Verdict With only minor hardware improvements, namely a focus on strengthening the Pixel line’s already capable on-device AI chops, it’s what Google has done the rest of the lineup around the Pixel 10 Pro, paired with new AI-backed features – like Magic Cue and Pro Res Zoom – that define whether the Google’s latest pocket powerhouse is a worthwhile buy for you....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Pixel 2 is a boring phone until you turn it on. The uninspiring hardware melts away to present you with a bleeding edge vision of the Android future, with machine learning fully integrated. It’s not quite there yet, but this is where we are heading. Despite being outdone by yet more wizardry on the Pixel 3, the Pixel 2 still has an amazing camera – debatably only the newer Pixel beats it....

Since owning a smartphone , I’ve developed an unhealthy obsession with discovering new music. But more recently, it’s gotten out of hand. Now, if I hear any remotely interesting song that I’m not familiar with, I just have to know what it is. Modern phones make this easier than ever: just download Shazam and tap the big button in the middle of the screen. You’ll usually be presented with the song title and artist within seconds....

The Hunger Games franchise dominated the 2010’s, and for a brief time, people could relieve them all over again on Netflix. However, things have now changed. In the US, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Part 1 and Mockingjay – Part 2 left Netflix on 31 March. But fear not, there is still a way to watch them – and you don’t even need another streaming service to do so....

Summer is pretty much cancelled – or at least holidays abroad and mass gatherings – which means that the annual meetup for Pokémon GO fans, GO Fest, can’t happen as it has done in the past few years in Chicago. And that means it’s going to happen virtually in 2020. We already knew this, of course, as it was announced a few weeks ago. What we now know is a lot more about how GO Fest is going to work this year....

Alex Kiplin, creator of the HoloLens took to the stage at MWC 2019 in Barcelona to reveal the next step in Microsoft’s mixed-reality future; the HoloLens 2.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Beautiful 120Hz curved OLED display Slim and light design Full Google software support Strong main camera Cons Secondary camera lenses disappoint No wireless charging No waterproofing Our Verdict The Honor 50 is a welcome return to the global market (with Google!) that stands out for its beautiful design and top-notch curved OLED display, though struggles to excel elsewhere.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Magic 2 is a beautiful piece of hardware, and the slider function pulls double duty as a satisfying novelty and the enabler of that big, beautiful display. Performance is rock solid – no surprise with the Kirin 980 inside – and the superfast charging is very welcome, but so-so camera performance and software irritations are enough to make us question whether the Magic 2 is worth the cost – or hassle – of importing....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Magic Watch 2 has amazing battery life and very good performance. It will undoubtedly please the fitness-focused, thanks to its wide range of exercise data and water resistance.

If you’re battling with a slow computer, getting to the root of the issue can be a painstaking trial-and-error process.

With so many potential causes for the slow-down, it’s useful to have one tool that can find and fix any and all issues throttling PC performance....

Fortunately, there is a solution on the horizon. Bango is a company that has worked with several mobile operators such as Optus in Australia to create ‘ super bundles ’, packages that customers can add to their existing bills to keep subscriptions all in one easy-to-access place. Some providers in the UK already have this sort of thing on a smaller scale – O2 has its extras , for example. However, Bango’s proposition offers a much wider range of apps to add to an existing monthly bill....

If you want to read a web page or watch a video that’s blocked, there are a few ways you can get around these restrictions. Those restrictions might exist for different reasons. A common one is because of video licensing, meaning it’s only viewable in certain countries or regions. If an entire website is blocked, it might be because the owner doesn’t comply with data protection regulations in your region....

It’s very similar to an Echo Dot but doesn’t have a speaker of its own. Instead it comes with a 3.5mm minijack cable to connect to the aux input of your speaker or hi-fi system.
