What better way to celebrate Pokémon Day than with the reveal of two new Pokémon games? That’s exactly what Nintendo did back in February 2019; the company revealed Pokémon Sword and Shield during an incredibly short Nintendo Direct livestream. Since that first reveal Nintendo has announced more about the games and there’s a lot to unpack, including a bunch of new Pokémon and the fact that the region it’s set in looks suspiciously like the UK....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Polar Loop is a cool-looking activity tracker that’s lightweight and comfortable and gives you up-to-date stats right there on your wrist – something the comparably priced Fitbit Flex can’t do to the same degree. We didn’t like the fact that you have to cut the wristband to size and we found set up to be overly fiddly. Polar also needs to update the app as ours crashed frequently while syncing....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Razer Nari Ultimate is a beautifully-designed high-end headset that delivers not only an exceptional audio experience, but a comfortable one too. With high-end features like haptic feedback, THX Spatial Audio and cooling gel-infused earcups, it’s hard not to be impressed. Best Prices Today: Razer Nari Ultimate Haptic feedback is something we’ve become accustomed to with smartphones and controllers, but it’s something that companies have tried (and failed) to successfully implement into headphones – until now Razer is confident that it has nailed the haptic experience with the Razer Nari Ultimate – and we must admit, we agree....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Kommand IEM is a step up from the Alpha Genus and any other sub-£50 headphones, but you’d expect that at more than twice that price. There’s lots to like about their sound quality, but some might find the ear hooks uncomfortable. Best Prices Today: Rock Jaw Kommand Anyone who knows anything about headphones can tell you the difference between balanced armature and dynamic drivers....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A user-friendly and affordable media-streaming device that brings HD and 4K HDR10 content to any TV with an HDMI port, Roku Premiere is a recommendable device. With more than 4,000 apps it’s unlikely you won’t find support for your favourite streaming platforms, and Roku Search makes it easy to navigate across services and ensure you get the best value. The infra-red remote control must be in line of sight, but pair Premiere with the free mobile app or step up to Roku Streaming Stick+ with enhanced Bluetooth remote for seamless operation....

Samsung might be known for its flagship phones and foldables, but the company continues to offer lots of more affordable options. Among them is the Galaxy A15 series, which offers a lot of the core Samsung features at a budget price point. However, there are two different versions to choose from: the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A15 5G. As the name suggests, only the latter has 5G support, but there are a few other notable differences....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Clean, appealing design Punchy AMOLED display Impressive software update promise Cons Sluggish performance Battery life worse than A15 5G Poor secondary cameras Our Verdict The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is another sound budget phone that won’t let you down, though its slick design and display are undermined by sluggish performance and battery life that seems to have gone backwards.

For most people, save your money and get this excellent all-rounder that sets a new standard for mid-range phones....

At a Glance Our Verdict All four of these phones is excellent; four of the best Android phones going. If you want familiarity and a solid Android experience, the S9 or S9 Plus are a great bet. They have every feature available to modern smartphones, but you pay a premium for it. For the first time, we can recommend the P20 and P20 Pro in the same breath as the latest Galaxy phones....

At a Glance Our Verdict It’s hard to say without going hands-on with the tablet ourselves, but based on the specs, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 offers a range of upgrades over the Galaxy Tab S4, but if you’re a casual tablet user that doesn’t need blistering speeds or a huge amount of storage, the Tab S4 is still a great option. Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Samsung has quietly revealed the Galaxy Tab S6 ahead of the hotly-anticipated reveal of the Galaxy Note 10 on 7 August, and it offers quite the upgrade over 2018’s Galaxy Tab S4....
