The OnePlus 10 Pro has been on sale since the end of March 2022. It is available to buy in the UK, US, Europe and India and several other countries around the world. As you might’ve noticed, there is a OnePlus 10 Pro but no standard OnePlus 10, and that’s an intentional move from the company. Since its release there has been a OnePlus 10T and a 10R in India, but no regular OnePlus 10....

The PS5 is now over three years old, and it’s no longer difficult to get hold of – though depending on where you live it might not cost the same as at launch. The console was almost impossible to buy for years after launch, but it’s much easier to buy these days. Stock is still a little unpredictable, but most of the usual retailers have it available. Ahead of the launch of the PlayStation VR2 headset in February 2023, Sony claimed it is now delivering “increased supply of PS5 consoles,” and promised that fans “should now have a much easier time finding one at retailers globally....

The phone is now available to buy directly from Samsung as of 2 October . Further good news: Samsung has extended its Galaxy Fit 2 and Games Pack bundle offers until late October – this was originally just a pre-order deal.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Exceptional cleaning performance Ergonomic wand Anti-tangle motorised brush Cons Large and bulky Wired Nowhere to store cleaning tools Our Verdict Though it’s large and bulky, the motorised anti-tangle brush and exceptional cleaning power make the Bissell SmartClean Pet hard to fault.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The DCP-J774DW is a neatly designed little printer that’s well suited to use at home – even if it is a bit noisier than we might have liked. But it’s the cost of ink cartridges that you’ll need to think about. To be fair, the relatively low up-front cost of the four-cartridge value packs may appeal to home users who know that they’re not going to be doing too much printing on a regular daily basis....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Burnout Paradise Remastered is a lot of fun if you played the original game in 2008, and the 4K@60fps playback is a welcome addition that allows you to really appreciate the finer details of the game, including the impressive crumple mechanics when you inevitably crash. But while it’s a real blast from the past, the game doesn’t quite stand up to modern driving games with the omission of commonplace mechanics like waypoint navigation, fast travel and more....

The new Call of Duty is here, with the fifth Black Ops game finally out now on current- and next-gen consoles, along with PC.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict This is an excellent PC and good value for money, but possibly a little pricey for a family system unless you needed this speed and gaming capability. In addition to its best-in-class performance, it offers stand-out features such as Wi-Fi, an IPS display and a Blu-ray drive for HD films Best Prices Today: Chillblast Fusion Pharaoh As such this PC has a slight advantage in the benchmarks....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict You can’t expect a huge amount from a £150 laptop, but the Chuwi HeroBook is functional with a large 14.1in screen and good battery life. For browsing the web and typing up emails and documents the HeroBook is capable, but look elsewhere if you want fancy specs or to play games and edit video. Best Prices Today: Chuwi HeroBook Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, Huawei and Oppo repeatedly show us that quality does not have to be linked to excessive pricing, and laptop maker Chuwi is no different....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Fractal Design Node 304 case was a big hit when it appeared in the Mesh Elite Mini Gaming PC. And it’s another hit here, even if more modestly clothed. If it’s the last word in gaming power that you hanker after, this machine clearly isn’t for you. However, it offers very capable frame rates, and does so while putting out very little noise or drawing much power, and itself Consumes little space....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Great wireless performance Dolby Atmos integration Hi-Res audio support Cons Floating headband can become uncomfortable Middling battery life Underwhelming RGBs Our Verdict The Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is an understated, premium gaming headset that offers features like Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res audio, but the lack of these features on PS4 and PS5 means it’s a more tempting buy for PC gamers.

A little over two months after the phones launched in China, Vivo has finally brought its X90 flagship phones to the global market – well, two-thirds of them at least. That’s because while the X90 will go on sale across Asia soon, and the X90 Pro will hit stores there plus in Europe, the X90 Pro+ – the most exciting of the bunch – will apparently never leave China. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to be excited about in the X90 and X90 Pro , which actually achieve two firsts for the international market....

Despite global uncertainty due to the coronavirus pandemic, Dell has unveiled the latest additions to its XPS line of flagship laptops. After the launch of the new XPS 13 at CES in January, it was perhaps inevitable that the XPS 15 would get a refresh. However, an altogether more surprising announcement is the reintroduction of the XPS 17, almost a decade after its predecessor. The Dell XPS 15 follows in the footsteps of its smaller sibling, ditching the logo for slimmer bezels and a new 16:10 aspect ratio....

For all the talk of the premium XPS line or gaming focused Alienware lineup, it’s easy to forget just how good Dell’s everyday consumer laptops are. The Inspiron branding groups them together under one name, with prices ranging from under £300 to over £1,100. Dell has now updated many of the PCs in this range for 2021, with a refreshed Inspiron 13, 14, 15 and 14 2-in-1 joined by a brand new device in the Inspiron 16 Plus....

Dell releases several gaming laptops each year under its Alienware brand, but we shouldn’t forget about the devices it makes in-house. They include the G15, which focuses on casual gamers and has just had its 2022 refresh. While the new version looks much like its predecessor, there are some key upgrades under the hood. Chief among them is a move to the Ryzen 6000 Series , with a choice of Ryzen 5, 7 or 9 CPUs available....
