If you always seem to have dozens of tabs open in Google Chrome, then this tip is for you. Keeping loads of web pages open doesn’t just slow down your computer, but it makes it hard to find the right tab. Google has come to the rescue with a tool that’s already built into Chrome – Tab Groups. This great feature, which you probably don’t even know exists, lets you gather together related tabs into groups, give them a name, then shrink them down so they only take up a single tab space....

If you’ve updated your iPhone to iOS 16 you might have noticed a strange animation when tapping on a photo. It’s a bit like a flash of lightning zapping across an object in the photo, after which the light flashes around the object to highlight what has been selected. The chances are that you’re wondering what this weird feature is and what you’re supposed to do with it. Apple rather uncreatively calls it “Lift subject from background” but, literally, that’s exactly what it does....

Starting with Windows 8, users have had the ability to sign into their PCs using a Microsoft account rather than simply choosing a user name and password. A Microsoft account is most often associated with one of Microsoft’s own email services such as outlook.com or Hotmail.com, but can in fact be any email address you currently use or even one you set up specifically just for your Microsoft account. However, we’d recommend you don’t use a work email or any other email address you’re likely to lose access to if you should change jobs....

Meta Connect, previously known as Facebook Connect and Oculus Connect, is Meta’s annual virtual reality developer conference – and it’s set to kick off tomorrow. Historically, the yearly conference has been focused on virtual reality, but the focus has broadened to encapsulate both virtual and augmented reality over the past few years. The conference serves as a stage for Meta to showcase new technologies in the AR and VR space, and to reveal what it has been working on in the past year....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Like HTC’s Desire 610, the Desire 816 sits awkwardly between other smartphones in terms of price, with rivals including the OnePlus One, Nokia Lumia 1320 and Nexus 5 among others. If you’re won over by the big screen, you won’t be disappointed if you can pick one up for around £200. Best Prices Today: HTC Desire 816 Not everyone wants to shell out for a flagship smartphone , but equally the same people don’t necessarily need to buy the cheapest smartphone going....

Read about the release date, prices and specs for the new U11+ and U11 Life. HTC might have struck a deal with Google, which includes moving plenty of engineers, but it still has new phones on the way.

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Stunningly light and slim Excellent OLED displays Impressive telephoto camera Cons No Google support Lacklustre battery life Too expensive Our Verdict The Huawei Mate X3 has the best design of any book-style foldable on the market so far, but it is heavily let down by its software – making apps commonly found on other Android phones unusable.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Premium design Great cover and stylus experience Solid battery life Impressive speakers Cons Sluggish performance Limited selection of books Poor software Expensive Our Verdict The MatePad Paper is a compelling vision of the future of e-ink devices, but this first iteration won’t convince many people to ditch their colour tablet or eReader.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The P Smart 2019 is a great upgrade from the 2018 model with a bigger screen and better performance. However, as with the original P Smart, Honor’s version is better value. Best Prices Today: Huawei P Smart (2019) On the face of it, the P Smart 2019 is a bargain. It has a 6.2in screen with tiny bezels and the tiniest of notches for the selfie camera....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Gapless folding hinge design Powerful main camera Decent battery life Cons No Google services No 5G No wireless charging Our Verdict The P50 Pocket has fantastic hardware that’s beyond Samsung’s best efforts, but ultimately the big problem remains that there’s no 5G connectivity and no support for core Google apps and services. Best Prices Today: Huawei P50 Pocket With Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 flying off shelves, it’s no surprise to see competition heating up for smaller, clamshell-style foldables....

After the runaway success of The Traitors, many TV production companies have made it their mission to find the next big reality game show hit. First out of the traps was Million Dollar Secret , a Netflix show where one player with $1m in their box must ensure their identity remains a secret from the other 11 players to walk away with the cash. In the UK, ITV has announced The Box , which sees contestants taken to mystery locations in yellow boxes and asked to take part in several different games....

The graphics of the Nintendo Switch 2 have been one of the most talked-about features leading up to the launch. After spending some time seeing them for myself in Paris, I can say it’s worth the wait… but maybe not for the reason you think. While yes, the console now supports 4K graphics in docked mode, that’s not what I took notice of the most. It’s the support for 60fps, a pivotal upgrade over the 30fps seen on the original Switch for most titles....

Samsung has a lot of different phones to choose from and it can get quite confusing. Two popular models are the Galaxy A55 from the lower mid-range and the Galaxy S23 FE affording an affordable flagship experience. Both phones offer different features, targeting different segments of the mid-range phone market. This poses the question, is it worth paying extra for the feature-lite S23 FE if the A55 offers a complete mid-range package?...

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It’s not the fastest desktop charger on the market, but the iHarbort 5-Port USB Charger is undeniably useful, well designed, and comes at a great price.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising has had an interesting development period: originally announced as Gods & Monsters at E3 2019, the game was slated to be released earlier this year, but following delays and a worrying lack of new gameplay, Ubisoft confirmed that the game had been completely reimagined since its initial announcement. So much had changed, in fact, that the name even changed. We got our first look at Immortals: Fenyx Rising at Ubisoft Forward in September, and despite all the changes on offer, one thing was still clear: it’s certainly Zelda-esque not only in look, but design too....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Incredibles 2 is hardly Pixar’s most ambitious film of recent years, but it’s a worthy sequel that takes the studio’s finest family in interesting new directions, while offering enough inventive action to stand out amid an increasingly crowded superhero landscape. This is big, broad, and an awful lot of fun. Let’s hope it doesn’t take Bird another 14 years to figure out how to bring the Parrs back for Incredibles 3....

If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, my phone’s rear is so boring,” then Infinix has something just for you. At MWC 2025, the brand unveiled its E-Colour Shift 2.0 concept. Essentially, it’s a phone that changes its rear design on demand thanks to tech that’s similar to e-readers. And after getting hands on with it, I can confidently say… it’s really cool, if a bit over the top. But I can’t help but think that it would make more sense on a case instead....
