At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Best camera phone to date Excellent performance Lighter than expected Great battery life Beautiful display Cons No charger may irk some Loss of microSD slot It’s big Price Our Verdict The Galaxy S21 Ultra is a no-holds-barred uber-flagship with sizeable proportions and a high price, but for your money, you get the most uncompromisingly capable smartphone on the market right now Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra There are all sorts of concessions that you can pay to a phone depending on factors like price or its standing within a brand’s portfolio; when it comes to the Pro Maxes and Ultras of this world, however, there’s far less room for error....

A major leak for the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE reveals a great deal about the company’s next affordable flagship phone – but not the piece of information I really want to know. Established tipster OnLeaks has teamed up with SammyGuru to publish detailed renders of the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE . Unsurprisingly, it looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S25 and the Samsung Galaxy S25+ . That even extends to the new skinnier body, which now apparently measures just 7....

At a Glance Our Verdict The Galaxy S7 is a fantastic phone at a great price, and it is still one of the very best Android phones you can buy.

If you have to have the best and latest tech, you have no option other than to buy the Galaxy S8, but if you’re not so desperate to be turning heads the Galaxy S7 remains a fantastic buy....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We really like the Sandberg Outdoor PowerBank’s tough camo design, but we’d like to see it refill its own battery much faster, or at least allow us to charge both it and our devices from a single mains outlet. The fact it can’t support both its USB outputs at full-speed is also disappointing. However, the Sandberg’s waterproof design makes it one of the better options if you’re camping out, and while it’s not as highly specced as the rival LimeFuel it is more easily portable, affordable and obtainable in the UK....

The chances of Congress passing a cybersecurity bill before the presidential campaign drowns everything else out are dimming, but a couple of senators are giving it a try anyway. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) are circulating a draft bill that they hope will settle one of the major debates over competing legislative proposals: How heavy the hand of government should be in regulating industries that operate critical infrastructure....

It’s been a difficult week for ExpressVPN. First it announced that it has been sold to Kape Technologies, then news broke that its CIO, Daniel Gericke, had been charged with breaking hacking laws while he worked for the UAE on Project Raven, prior to joining the VPN company. The latter has caused more grief than the former, but what does it all mean if you’re an ExpressVPN customer? What if you were thinking of signing up?...

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Smanos UFO may not be the sleekest smart security camera on the market, but it’s perfect for wall and ceiling attachments with its low-profile design. While there may be other cameras on the market that offer slicker app interfaces for a similar price, the ability to host your storage locally via microSD along with optional paid cloud backup (coming soon) is unique to a small handful of smart security cameras on the market....

Smeg has launched its first bean-to-cup machine. The design of the BCC02 – the uninspiring name is the result of brand convention – isn’t entirely in line with the ‘50s-style range that Smeg is most famous for, nor is it completely contemporary. Instead, its design sits somewhere between the two, with curves that nod to the Smeg retro aesthetic but a brushed aluminium finish that would be at home in any modern kitchen....

Qualcomm made its name with powerful smartphone processors, but the last few years has seen the US company successfully expand into the laptop space. The first Snapdragon-powered PCs launched in 2017, boasting instant wake times and great battery life. However, many suffered from performance and compatibility issues.
