At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Xiaomi QiCycle is an expensive but very well-designed electrically assisted pedal bike. It takes the hard work out of long-distance and uphill cycling, and it’s easy to monitor your speed, distance and other stats, even over time. We’d like to see the addition of a kickstand and some mud guards, but in other respects our only real complaint is the Chinese trip computer (clearly not a problem if you speak Chinese)....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A big screen and a low price are paired with decent battery life, usable performance and an enhanced dual-camera in the Redmi Note 5. There are some drawbacks, such as the old Micro-USB port, lack of Quick Charge support and partly plastic build, but in other respects budget phones don’t come much better than this. Best Prices Today: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 If you’re looking for a sub-£200 Android phone with a decent-size screen, good battery life and usable all-round performance and features, this could be it....

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has been pictured, and it’s prompting far more conversation among the TA team than we’re used to seeing from a new tablet . It’s not that tablet design has gotten boring or anything, but… actually yes, it’s exactly that. Some 15 years on from the launch of the original iPad , the tablet form factor has matured to a point where they all kind of look the same....

Since eSIM plans typically offer cheaper data than mobile operators’ roaming fees, they are becoming increasingly popular with travelers. So much so, there are now dozens of eSIM providers, all wanting to supply your data the next time you leave the US. With so much choice, it can be difficult to know which eSIM plan is right for you.

MWC 2025 saw many new phones make their debut, but Meizu is grabbing headlines for its global launch of the Note 22, Mblu 22 Pro and Mblu 22 . Running Flyme AIOS, these three smartphones have DeepSeek AI at their core, and belong to an entire ecosystem of smart devices also on display at the Barcelona event. Before you roll your eyes at yet another ‘AI’ announcement, this one is different: for Meizu, which is returning to the global market as the mobile arm of DreamSmart, AI is not just a gimmick....

Following 12 years of silence, Microsoft Studios confirmed at Gamescom 2017 that Age of Empires 4 is in development for PC. The hugely popular series began way back in 1997, and despite the fact that there hasn’t been a new game in the franchise for quite some time, it’s still held in high regard by the gaming community. So, what should you expect from Age of Empire 4? Here, we discuss a possible release date, along with platform availability and what to expect from gameplay....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Put simply, the Fire TV Stick 4K is a bargain. For very little money you can stream 4K HDR content to your TV no matter which standard it supports. Alexa and the new remote are the icing on the cake. If you’re familiar with the Fire TV Stick, there’s little to say about the design. It looks the same – albeit 23mm longer – and has the same microUSB connector for power and comes with a short HDMI extension in case your TV’s design won’t allow the Stick 4K to plug directly in to an HDMI input....

Most of AMD’s hotly anticipated RDNA 2-inspired Radeon RX 6000 Series is now available to buy, having been revealed at an event in October 2020. However, we had to wait until March 2021 a new mid-range GPU to be added to the collection, and it doesn’t look like AMD is finished yet. While many were worried about how AMD’s latest GPU offering would compare to the impressive Nvidia RTX 3000 Series , things are looking promising, with the company claiming that it’s finally ready to compete at the high end of the GPU market....

The age-old battle between AMD and Intel rages on. The sun is starting to set on 12 and 14nm architecture so the company that can perfect 7 or 10nm first will hold a massive advantage. We should be seeing this arrive within the next year or so. A decade ago, Intel and AMD had the world at their feet. Intel’s distinctive audio logo rang out wherever laptops were sold and AMD’s future was bright thanks to its 2006 acquisition of graphics powerhouse ATI....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Vector is an attempt by Anki to create a version of its popular Cosmo robot for adults – and to bring warmth and personality to the sterile, transactional relationship you have with virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri. However, it feels like a beta product that’s got some way to travel before being useful as well as endearing. Best Prices Today: Anki Vector Updated 18/12/18 with information about an update that brings Alexa support to Vector (for US and Canada only)....

There have been six versions of Apple Watch to date, but that doesn’t stop the next Apple Watch from being called the Series 6. The original was simply called ‘Apple Watch’ – presumably because Apple was unsure of the longevity of what was new technology back in 2015. After that came the Series 1, not 2, hence why the Series six is actually the seventh-gen wearable. Fast forward five years, and it has proven to be one of the most popular products in the Apple range ever....

The new 2020 Mac Mini is the first update to the range since 2018 and is the second computer Apple has announced – after the new MacBook Air – to feature the company’s custom-designed M1 processor. At a starting price of £699 / US$699, it’s £100 / $100 cheaper than the quad-core 2018 Mac Mini but is more powerful. The move away from Intel chips is one of the most significant decisions Apple has made in recent times and will undoubtedly make some sizeable ripples....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Buyers are likely to either love the Asus Transformer Mini T102HA or be disappointed in it. Its highs and lows are marked. Don’t expect the quality of the Surface Pro 4 for less than half the price. While build isn’t dramatically reduced, general performance is. It’s the same old issue with Windows 10 laptops that have Atom processors, making the Asus Transformer Mini T102HA much slower than a Chromebook or Android hybrid....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At around £900 the ZenBook UX303U approaches the build finesse but lacks the unbeaten battery of the similarly priced MacBook Air, although it can claim faster processor performance and a superior full-HD matt display.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict They might not be the complete package, but Audio-Technica has created some seriously good sounding headphones here. The ATH-MSR7 offer good build and stylish design, although they aren’t the most comfortable or portable around. What we’re most taken by, though, is the sound quality you get at this price which makes them a good buy. Best Prices Today: Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 review: Price and competition The price puts them in the same ball park as rivals such as Bowers & Wilkins P3, Kef M400 and Denon AH-MM400 – all of which are impressive pairs of headphones....
