With autumn here, temperatures plummeting and energy bills higher than ever, we’re all looking for ways to save money in the coming months. Some are staunchly refusing to put their heating on and wrapping up in extra layers instead. But a recent report by the Heating and Hot Water Council contained a tip that could save you 6-8% on your gas bill. You’ve probably heard about it already, with many headlines quoting a saving of £112 a year, and some sites claiming you’ll use up to 12% less gas....

Successor to Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite , Xiaomi’s Mi A3 has not yet officially made its way to the UK yet, having launched in Europe earlier this year at €249 (64GB)/€279 (128GB). To unlock that super-low price you’ll need to enter the coupon code GBA312802 at checkout. Allowing for import duty, which may be requested by Customs upon arrival in the UK, this remains an astonishing deal and much lower than what we can expect to pay when Mi A3 does eventually launch here....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Recharging mobile devices is a necessary evil, and the Elecjet Apollo Traveller can help take away some of that pain with an impressive 18-minute recharge time. Though it can’t actually make your phone charge any quicker, its 45W USB-C output is faster than most. This 5,000mAh power bank will offer most phones one full charge, and some (such as iPhones) up to two charges....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Balanced audio output Comfortable to wear Compatible with all Consoles and PC Cons No wireless connectivity Plastic body No PC software to tweak output Our Verdict The EPOS H3 offers immersive audio performance without the overpowering bass present on rivals, and it handles spatial audio incredibly well too. The 3.5mm jack means it’s compatible with most Consoles and platforms, but the lack of wireless connectivity may disappoint some....

Poco, the smartphone sub-brand of Xiaomi, is about to release its highest-spec phone yet. The Poco F4 GT looks and sounds like a gaming phone, and in an exclusive pre-launch interview the company’s head of product marketing Angus Ng revealed to Tech Advisor a spec sheet to match – but insists the device isn’t exclusively designed for gamers. I’ve seen the device, but I can’t talk about it yet or indeed show off the phone’s design, though Ng was happy to chat in detail about the phone’s specs ahead of its global launch on 26 April – a first for the series, after last year’s F3 GT launched primarily in India....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Pan and tilt for wide coverage On-device AI for tracking people Well priced Cons Disappointing app No face or parcel recognition Expensive cloud storage Our Verdict The C8W Pro offers pretty good quality video both day and night and does a good job of tracking people during the day. It isn’t as smart as rivals, though, and the clunky app needs work. Best Prices Today: Ezviz C8W Pro The C8W Pro is the latest in the C8 outdoor security camera range from Ezviz....

The long-awaited Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga has finally landed in cinemas. George Miller’s post-apocalyptic tale allows fans to return to a nuclear wasteland gripped by madness, where cynical warlords rule and vicious gangs rage. When Mad Max: Fury Road was released in 2015, it turned out to be one of the best comebacks of a cult franchise ever. The series director, George Miller, returned to his post-apocalyptic world after a long hiatus armed with a handful of crazy ideas and created a spectacle that achieved mass success....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Ghost in the Shell isn’t exactly a bad film, but it’s hard to recommend. Anyone who’s a fan of the original will likely find this a disappointment, while anyone who hasn’t seen the anime would be better off watching that instead. The visuals are phenomenal (and almost justify a cinema trip by themselves) but there’s not much else to love here. Best Prices Today: Ghost in the Shell Remaking a beloved film always invites plenty of criticism....

Released by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2020, the game Ghost of Tsushima took players on an extraordinary quest through the samurai world. Soon, those who aren’t game enthusiasts can also go on this journey. As Sony revealed at the 2025 CES press conference in Las Vegas , the anime series based on the best-selling game is currently in the works for the Crunchyroll platform. The news came as a surprise as a live-action film based on the hit game was announced some time ago....

As rumours suggested, Google has announced a new version of its original smart display which hinges on a major upgrade. The new Nest Hub 2nd Gen adds Sleep Sensing thanks to the Soli technology from the Pixel 4, but it’s a ‘preview’ for now. Google says that 20% of its Hubs are in the bedroom and that figure will surely rise with this new sleep tracking feature. With clever radar technology, it can do this without the need for a camera or to wear anything in bed....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Premium look and feel Snappy day-to-day performance Big bright displays Clean software Great cameras Cons Tensor G4 is underwhelming Charges very slowly Gemini Advanced features require a subscription Our Verdict The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is one of the most well-made and premium-feeling book-style foldables money can buy, and it’s a delight to live with. Strong competition from the likes of Samsung and Honor complicates things, though, and if you’re seeking the best bang for your buck, this is not it....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent cameras Great screens Google apps optimised for big screen Gap-free design Cons The price Many apps not optimised for tablet mode Heavy for a phone No stylus support Our Verdict The Pixel Fold is an impressive device, especially for a first generation. There’s room for improvement in software, though this relies on app developers as much as Google. The biggest turn-offs are the price and hefty weight, though these are intrinsic if you want a phone that unfolds into a tablet....

The new larger model offers better visibility and battery life without compromising on comfort, and Fitbit integration is increasingly good for exercise....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict There’s nothing here you haven’t seen before, but His & Hers is worth watching nonetheless. In large part, that’s thanks to superstars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal who elevate the writing and ground every twist, no matter how absurd things get. Best Pricing Today His & Hers is out now for you and me and, from the start, it’s a cut above the usual Harlan Coben drivel that Netflix likes to peddle every January....
