Motorola is back making smartwatches again! Just a few months after we politely asked , the company has launched the Moto Watch Fit, marking its return to a sector where it has been largely absent for many years, aside from a handful of US-only devices. However, if you were holding out hope for a genre-defining device like the Razr, you’ll be bitterly disappointed. The Watch Fit is a cheap smartwatch that’s devoid of any real personality, meaning it’ll quickly get lost in the sea of other wearables....

I doubted the rumours but Google did indeed unveil no fewer than four Pixel 9 series smartphones this week. However, the 9 Pro XL isn’t quite what you might think it is, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s not the first time Google has used XL branding – the first four generations of Pixel phones all had an XL model – but it feels like a new addition for the Pixel 9 series, seeing as we’ve already had a 6 Pro , 7 Pro , and 8 Pro ....

After a little less than an hour playing with it, Razer’s new Android-powered gaming hardware easily impresses – but I don’t feel much closer to knowing who’s going to buy one. The Edge is a small, rectangular device with a 6.8in touchscreen, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, and running on Android – but don’t call it a phone, or at least not where a Razer rep can hear. Razer is adamant that the Edge is no mere smartphone (or tablet, for that matter), but a games console in its own right....

In The Surfer, Nicolas Cage stars as an unnamed man on the cusp of a mid-life crisis. Determined to return to himself and the mirage of his childhood, this man (who we’ll call Cage) is desperate to belong somewhere, to someone, again… and what better place to do so than on a sun-soaked Australian beach. Inspired by classic surf noir and John Cheever’s short story, The Swimmer, the low-budget thriller delves into the local extremism of territorial beach boys who don’t want outsiders (like Cage) to surf in the picturesque paradise, Lunar Bay....

If you’re a fan of the exploits of Geralt of Rivia, then you may be pleased to know that a new game is out that allows you to explore his world on your smartphone. The White Wolf himself isn’t the star, but you’ll still be able to wield your silver and steel swords against a wide range of monsters and bandits in this mobile AR game – a rather more violent version of Pokémon Go, if you will....

When Apple abandoned the Lightning connector in favour of USB-C a couple of years ago, many people cheered, not least in the UK and Europe, where new rules were behind the decision. With USB-C in almost every gadget, there would finally be order and consumers would avoid the hassle of different cables, connectors and chargers. That was the idea, but the promised USB-C paradise has not materialised. While the vast majority of electronic gadgets have USB-C connectors, the confusion over which cables and chargers work with which devices is at least as complicated as it was five years ago....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A projector this cheap should be pretty disappointing but Vankyo has made an impressive home cinema machine. We’re let down by the 1080p claim, but performance is still very good and the Leisure 510 has lots of good features making it a great budget choice for your lounge. Best Prices Today: Vankyo Leisure 510 With the cost of big TVs in free fall, those that make projectors are trying to occupy those parts of the market that LCD panels don’t address....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you’re after in-ear headphones on a budget, the Vibe Slick Zip V3 is a decent choice. The zip makes them a bit heavy, so they’re not well suited to jogging, but sound quality is very good for the price. Best Prices Today: Vibe Slick Zip V3 Most in-ear headphones use a simple system for managing where the wire from each headphone joins the other: an adjustable toggle which slides up and down....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Beautiful, colour-changing design Strong main selfie camera Premium feel for the price Cons Average rear camera Weak ultrawide selfie camera Below-par Android skin Our Verdict The Vivo V23 is a decent all-rounder with an unusual colour-changing design, but the dual selfie camera isn’t quite good enough to stand out – especially given the odd choice to strip the OIS found in its predecessor. Best Prices Today: Vivo V23 The Vivo V23 is the cheaper of a pair of phones in the V23 series, the latest in the company’s line of smartphones focussed on selfies and style....

If you’ve been eagerly waiting for the Nex 5 from Vivo, then you will be disappointed to know that it’s very unlikely that you’ll ever see it arrive. That’s not because it’s been cancelled though, just that the company has rebranded the range. So, here’s all we know about the phone that continues the Nex lineage: the Vivo X Note. When will the Vivo X Note be released worldwide? Vivo unveiled the X Note at a launch event on 11 April, alongside the Vivo X Fold foldable smartphone and the Vivo Pad tablet, and it went on sale there a few days later....

The function keys have almost been around as long as the keyboard itself. They’re widely thought to have made their debut on the IBM 3270 back in 1972, and have been a mainstay on PCs and laptops ever since. However, despite their long history, the F1-F12 keys remain a mystery to many of us. Most laptop manufacturers have combined them with commonly used functions like volume and brightness adjustments – in this scenario, you’ll need to hold down the ‘Fn’ key to get the original function....

Here’s the latest on when your phone or tablet might get the update, plus if it’s even compatible....

Foldables were the star of the show at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on 11 August, but we shouldn’t forget about the wearables. The Korean giant revealed the regular Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic , both of which bring some big changes to the table. Chief among these is a return to Wear OS software , produced in collaboration with Google. The tweaked version Samsung is using is officially known as ‘ One UI Watch ’, but the Watch 4 and 4 Classic are the first smartwatches to run the revamped operating system....

Both Nvidia and AMD have recently launched new ranges of graphics cards with tempting options for just about every budget. If you’ve been hanging onto an Nvidia 10-series card or a Radeon RX 5000 and skipped Nvidia’s 20-series you might well be hankering after an upgrade. The upcoming RTX 3060 looks to be a particularly appealing option at £329/$329. But now is just about the worst time in history to buy a new GPU....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict For a brand-new smartphone maker’s first effort, we’re impressed with the Wileyfox Swift. It’s a stylish little handset which offers essentially the same specs as the Moto G for less money. We love the customisation available in Cyanogen OS but elements such as the cameras aren’t as good as rivals. Vodafone’s Smart Ultra 6 remains a better option for slightly less money – unless a 5....
