At a Glance Our Verdict The Samsung Galaxy S6 is significantly faster than the Galaxy S5, with a beautiful Quad HD screen that’s significantly higher in resolution and much brighter than that on the S5. The new Galaxy shows a vast improvement in design, too, and there are some nice upgrades to the camera – particularly at the front. Some sacrifices have been made, though, with the S6 losing the removable battery and microSD card slot that have long been favoured by Samsung fans....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Stylish & highly portable 90Hz refresh rate 7 years of software support Even cheaper than before Cons Painfully slow charging Basic cameras Some bloatware Our Verdict Samsung might have left a lot the same as its predecessor, but has made significant upgrades while also reducing the price. Smaller tablets that are cheap and not totally awful are hard to find, making this a clear winner if that’s what you need....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Premium build Great battery life S Pen included in box Cons Patchy gaming performance 60Hz LCD display Software not optimised for tablets Our Verdict There’s a lot to like about the Tab S7 FE, which impresses with its high-end design and excellent battery life.

Samsung is going great guns with its foldable smartphone range, but it might not be long before we see another innovation. Rumours are gaining speed that the Korean company could be working on a foldable tablet, possibly dubbed the Galaxy Z Fold Tab. Here’s all the latest news and leaks surrounding this potentially ground-breaking product, which could finally see Apple’s iPad being given a serious challenge. When is the release date for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab?...

In summary Samsung could debut major new software versions on its foldables Galaxy S phones will now get ‘One UI X.5’ versions This may not mean major changes, however Samsung Galaxy S phones will no longer debut the latest version of Google’s Android OS, according to a rumour, but everything is not quite as it seems.

2022 is the year of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and, while most of us in the UK are just happy for the additional bank holiday to celebrate her 70-year reign, others will want to go all-in. At least that’s what Samsung is hoping with its latest launch. The brand has created a Union Jack-bedecked take on its Bespoke fridge freezer in the UK. It comes in three different colour options: Clean Black; Glam Lavender; and Glam Peach – none of which sound like something the Queen would choose for her kitchen....

Samsung has unveiled its 2022 range of Neo QLED TVs, which now comes in sizes as small as 43in. The Neo QLED range was first launched last year and was among the first to introduce Mini LED technology. Samsung’s updated range for this year once again comes in 4K and 8K models up to 85in, but the new 43in model makes it more accessible. For now, we mean in a physical sense, but the more compact TV should also carry a cheaper price tag with last year’s Neo QLED range starting at £1,799/US$1,599....

While the basic premise of a foldable is simple enough, finding use cases and people who actually see themselves relying on this bleeding-edge hardware is proving a little tricker – especially right now. The newly-launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the latest entry in a small-but-growing assortment of foldable mobiles, primarily from Samsung, but also the likes of Huawei and Motorola/Lenovo. While the category as a whole is still relatively young, it’s clear that the Z Fold 2 doesn’t just learn from its direct predecessor – last year’s Galaxy Fold – but every major foldable launched over the last few years....

Back at E3 2015, Microsoft announced Sea of Thieves, the multiplayer action-packed pirate game exclusive to Windows 10 and Xbox One.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A perfectly capable media streamer, with dedicated remote control, for only £10 may look an indisputable bargain. It’s light on features and obviously geared towards Sky’s content, but if you want an inexpensive, fuss-free way of watching the occasional football match or TV series, it would be just the ticket providing Sky sorts out its streaming servers.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Xperia Z5 Compact is the best small phone around, but then there’s not much competition in this area anymore and there are a number of phones offering decent specs for a lot less. Those looking for Z5 design and specs in a smaller frame will be pleased but it’s a shame about the chunky design with the sharp edges. The fingerprint scanner is a great addition and the Snapdragon 810 with almost stock Android provides slick performance....

Surfshark is still a relatively young VPN compared to the most established players, and has never rested on it laurels. New features and improvements to the service have been added regularly, and recently it added antivirus to its wider security package, Surfshark One. Nexus needs a bit of explaining, but it certainly looks to be a very good thing for existing Surfshark users, and another reason to choose this over other VPN services ....

Almost a year ago, Surfshark announced a major new feature: Nexus. This was a radical departure from how most VPNs work in that, instead of the usual setup of passing your internet connection through a single server (or perhaps two) Nexus meant that “your traffic gets routed through a whole network of servers rather than a single VPN tunnel.” Surfshark says that this approach obscures and hides your traffic, stabilizes performance, and enhances your VPN connection speed....
