At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Mesh Ryzen 7 Gaming PC-A is beautifully built, but ultimately flawed in its configuration. Let down by a slow SSD and a non-overclocked graphics card, yet coming with an unnecessarily expensive operating system, we feel this PC could do much better with a couple of minor tweaks to the spec. Best Prices Today: Mesh Ryzen 7 Gaming PC-A Large, imposing and featuring a customisable built-in light show, the Mesh Ryzen 7 Gaming PC-A delivers stunning build quality with striking tempered glass panels and the latest AMD processor technology inside....

The Surface Duo 2 is Microsoft’s second attempt at a dual-screen folding phone, but it might be the last. As our updated review shows, several software updates in the months after launch significantly improved the user experience. The hardware was already good, and a big upgrade compared to the original . But what does the future of the Duo 2 look like? Microsoft has refused to commit to supporting the device long-term, leading to speculation that it’s being discontinued....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Moto G5S Plus has now been succeeded by the excellent Moto G6, but it remains an option for those looking for a cheap phone. The new and old phones were priced the same at £219 which makes the G6 a no brainer but you can now pick the G5S Plus up for as little as £156. The G5S Plus combines build quality, photography and performance well....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Appealing design Strong camera system Rapid charging Clean software Cons Average battery life Bloatware starting to encroach Performance could be better Our Verdict Motorola has produced a competitive flagship phone with a stellar design, strong camera, rapid charging, and beautifully clean software.

Bowers & Wilkins has introduced another member to its Formation Suite, the latest range of wireless speakers. It’s called the Formation Flex and is a compact sphere-shaped speaker that can be used on its own or used with a second unit to create a stereo pair. You could even use a pair as rear surround speakers in a home cinema setup. The £399 / $399 Formation Flex uses the same advanced wireless and digital-to-analogue technology as the rest of the range and sounds very good indeed....

Motorola’s Moto G line holds a special place in my heart. 2015’s Moto G3 was my first ever smartphone, so whenever I see a new model launch, I’m immediately transported back to my college days. Unfortunately, that nostalgia was very short-lived when I read about the latest batch of handsets: the Moto G77, G67, G17 and G17 Power . Now, don’t get me wrong, they look like competitive budget and mid-range phones with several standout specs....

With a starting price of £189.99/€249.99, the Moto G53 becomes one of the cheapest 5G phones you can buy. At £269....

NordVPN and Surfshark are two of the biggest names in an increasingly busy market. With data breaches regularly making headlines and daft politicians thinking that it’s possible to install backdoors on encrypted services while keeping them ‘encrypted’, the need for safeguarding your privacy online with a VPN has never been more apparent. So which of these two services should you pick? That’s a tricky question to answer yourself, but here we’ll explain everything you need to know....

In summary: Tech Advisor reports that Nothing confirms no new flagship phone will launch in 2026, with the Phone (3) remaining their top-tier device.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict O&O DiskImage Professional 8 handles the basics of system and file backup well, though it’s not the easiest program to use, thanks to its unconventional design. We were surprised how long it took to save a compressed backup and a little disappointed at the size reduction offered by its default compression. Best Prices Today: O&O DiskImage Professional 8 At the top level, it will backup your entire system with a couple of keypresses, though if you use it for file backup, you’ll probably want to define the folders it works with....

Having just reviewed the OnePlus 13 , it not only makes for a compelling start to 2025, but it’s arguably the company’s most ambitious flagship smartphone to date; pushing in all areas, including the camera system. OnePlus has once again turned to famed camera brand Hasselblad to help with the OnePlus 13 ‘s image tuning, while the underlying hardware is a natural evolution of the sensor setup we were introduced to on last year’s OnePlus 12 ....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent performance Great user experience with nice AI additions Monster battery life Super-fast charging Cons Inflexible camera experience Still USB 2.0 Software support could be longer No wireless charging Our Verdict You could pick at misgivings – like the loss of a telephoto sensor, its LTPS display and USB 2.0 port – but these are minor issues against what remains. In classic OnePlus style, the OnePlus 15R is a high-performance phone tailored to gaming, backed by excellent longevity and a clean user experience with genuinely handy AI additions....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The OnePlus 5 is a logical refinement of the young company’s back catalogue. It marries solid design with excellent software in a package under £500. But a year ago, it did this all for a sliver over £300. The phone feels like the end of OnePlus phase one and a bridge to whatever the company does next. It might not be the obvious bargain price OnePlus is known for but it’s still significantly cheaper, is incredibly fast and has improved cameras....

The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition is the highest spec, best OnePlus phone to date. It is also the most expensive and the one with the dumbest name. It’s a juxtaposition that I can take, but tech consumers will rightly have a hard time justifying purchasing one – especially in the UK. For the record, OnePlus is probably my favourite overall Android phone manufacturer and I have followed the McLaren Formula 1 team since I was six....

The OnePlus 9T was expected to be the next OnePlus flagship phone, due in autumn 2021 – or so we thought, until OnePlus itself confirmed that it won’t be launching a 9T after all. It’s not all bad news, as the company has now revealed the OnePlus 9 R T instead. This ‘T’ version of the OnePlus 9R has already launched in China, and has finally arrived in India too....

Here’s all we know about the OnePlus Ace. Will the OnePlus Ace be released worldwide? The OnePlus Ace launched in China on 21 April, and is on sale there now . Technically speaking we’re not expecting to see the Ace launch anywhere else, but really it’s also arrived in India....

An ‘R’ model of a OnePlus device is typically a smartphone, but the brand has given this treatment to its flagship smartwatch . In an unusual move, OnePlus has announced the Watch 2R providing an alternative to its flagship Wear OS smartwatch. What’s jokingly referred to as the ‘reduced’ model on places like Reddit arrives not long after the Watch 2 but actually wins in two key ways and without the usual drawbacks....
