Double Stack models aren’t yet available but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of air fryer types to choose from right now. Air fryers aren’t one-size-fits-all. Below, we take a look at the most common types....

At a Glance Our Verdict Any idiot can see that the £899 Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the superior phone in this comparison, but when you Consider that the Mi 8 is available from £300 the choice becomes much less clear.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you want a huge screen on a budget, without going the whole hog and purchasing a tablet, we can think of no better example than the Mi Max 3. Now with improved performance, a second camera lens at the rear and a huge 6.9 18:9 display, it’s a worthy upgrade on the Mi Max 2 – and still just as affordable. Best Prices Today: Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Even if you’re not a lover of big-screen phones, it’s difficult not to see the appeal of the Mi Max 3, which is best-described as a super-sized version of the insanely popular Redmi Note 5 ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent Battery Life Decent performance Nice colour options Cons Average cameras MiUI is loaded with bloat Lacking high refresh rate screen Our Verdict In typical Xiaomi style, the Redmi Note 10S represents excellent value for money, but this time around doubles down on battery life and graphical performance.

Here’s an announcement out of left-field: Acer has unveiled a prototype laptop with glasses-free 3D. Years after the rise and fall of Avatar, the Nintendo 3DS, and the ill-fated LG Optimus 3D smartphone, Acer believes that stereoscopic 3D is ready for a comeback – but not for the likes of you and me. Instead, the company’s new SpatialLabs 3D tech is destined for its ConceptD line, a series of products designed specifically for professional creatives....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Vacuums and mops Compact charging station Turbo mode Mops large areas without refilling Cons Not effective on mid-pile carpet No automatic emptying Doesn’t recognise carpet when mopping Our Verdict There are some useful features packed into Aeno’s RC2S: a large water tank for lots of mopping, controls for the basics so you don’t have to pick up a device, and plenty of app functionality. However, in other ways, it’s limited: you’ll have to tell it not to mop rooms with carpets, it can get stuck easily, and it’s limited to either mopping or vacuuming, not both simultaneously....

The AirPods Max are the most expensive set of AirPods that Apple manufactures, beating the £249/$249 AirPods Pro by a whopping £300/$300. It’s safe to say they aren’t going to sell as many as the cheaper AirPods, but there’s a lot to love about the AirPods Max, including incredible audio quality and exceptional noise cancellation. But despite impressive performance on offer from the AirPods Max, there will most likely be a second-gen pair of cans released at some point in the next few years....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Echo Plus has been completely redesigned compared to the original but it’s not only better-looking, as a larger speaker and tweeter provide improved audio quality and Dolby Play 360 audio support helps fills the room with music. The problem is the price, which is a touch higher than we’d like. If you don’t need the built-in hub then save money and go for the regular Echo 2 (or Show 5)....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The most you can spend is £109.99/$124.99 on a 32GB model without ads. Aside from this gripe, £79.99 is an excellent price for an 8in tablet with an HD resolution display. Let’s not forget that. This 8th gen Fire HD 8, which was released at the end of 2018, is practically identical to the 2017 model. On our red review unit, the volume and power buttons are now red too instead of silver like before, but this is the only aesthetic change....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Good battery life Works like an Echo Show Hands-free Alexa Cons Entry-level performance Limited selection of apps Our Verdict The latest Fire HD 8 is a good tablet which is made a bit better in the Plus version. As ever, if you can live with the apps on offer, it’s still fine value.

The Omni QLED is better value in the US, though, as prices are Considerably higher in the UK. There’s an abundance of affordable great-quality TVs at the moment....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Ryzen 3 1300X is great value. It may not break any performance records, but it offers better bang for your buck than the Intel equivalent. And that was AMD’s plan all along, so kudos to AMD. Buying a Ryzen 3 also gives you a decent upgrade path to Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 in the future, and we expect to see more AM4 chips over the next couple of years....
