At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition is expensive, but offers stunning performance. Manufacturer overclocked versions will arrive soon and may be better value, but you can overclock the Founders Edition fairly easily yourself. If you’re not planning to buy a VR headset, you can save money and buy a GTX 1080, but if you can afford it, the 1080 Ti still offers good value and will be more future proof....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The price tag demands that you think carefully before buying this model, but its performance and features are right at the top edge. If your company have a need for mass-production of important files at sensational speeds, this is an amazing performer.

Samsung traditionally brings out a rugged version of its Galaxy S flagship a short while after the smartphone launches, though in the UK you may not have been aware of this fact since they are usually sold as US-only AT&T exclusives. (Main image via Android Police .) The Galaxy S8 is already reasonably tough, with IP68-rated dust- and waterproof protection, and Gorilla Glass 5 protecting the screen. But there is an awful lot of glass in its design, and it appeals as much for its good looks as it does its performance and features....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Despite the flaws of the Garmin Connect app, the Forerunner 235 is one of the better GPS running watches on the market. Its relatively subtle black model can pass for daywear, and the accuracy and reliability of GPS tracing are second to none. But if you want an app that is easy to get to grips with and immediately encourages you to train up to a certain distance, then you may prefer the Polar M430....

At a Glance Our Verdict Despite being the oldest tablet here, the Nexus 7 remains our top-pick. It’s the best all-rounder but the other two contenders are still worth a shout. The G Pad feels the best and has some extra software features which are really handy. Lenovo’s Yoga Tablet 8 is cheap, good looking and has a great design – just be prepared for lower grade hardware and performance if you opt for this one....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Gorgeous, repairable design Stunning domed display New quick charging dock User-friendly and feature-rich Cons Fitbit Premium needed for some features Slow loading at times Gemini doesn’t always do what you expect Our Verdict It might look the same, but Google has made a number of important upgrades to the Pixel Watch 4 while keeping the price the same as its predecessor. Fitbit Premium remains the biggest sticking point, but a 6-month trial will allow you to decide if you need to pay for it....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Harmon Kardon Esquire delivers on style and build quality with its premium look and feel. It also provides impressive battery life and additional features like NFC pairing, controls and hands-free calls. However, sound quality isn’t as good as even the online price tag would suggest.

In summary Galaxy S26 series could launch on 25 February 2026 Would be a significant delay compared to S25 and S24 series Likely due to lineup changes, but these may not materialise For me, January represents a few things. New beginnings, cost-cutting, miserably short days…and the launch of Samsung’s new flagship phones. Okay, so that last one might only apply to me and the rest of the tech-obsessed phone community, but I enjoy the consistency of a major Galaxy Unpacked event to kick off the year....

House of the Dragon season 2’s explosive start and stellar fourth episode built up my expectations for the final. Unfortunately, it ended with a whimper rather than a bang. The series wrapped on HBO last night and is due to air on Sky Atlantic tonight in the UK – although the episode is available on demand already. It also leaked earlier this week, so kudos if you managed to avoid spoilers....

Have you ever heard of “Connectivity Labs”? Probably not because Samsung hides this Wi-Fi menu deep in the settings of its Galaxy phone and tablets, but it’s well worth a look.
