Apple announced its bold new iOS 26 redesign at WWDC 2025 last night – but just how bold is it, exactly? As has become the norm when discussing a new mobile OS, the internet has swiftly filled up with Android fans pointing out that several of iOS 26’s new features have been borrowed wholesale from Google. Often these features had rolled out onto Pixel phones many years ago. Of course, inspiration flows both ways in the two horse race that is the modern mobile OS scene....

At a Glance Our Verdict If you’re looking for desirability, then you can’t go wrong here. Android and iOS is the biggest difference here and it’s worth noting that the iPhone 6 is behind the HTC One M8 in many specs even though it costs more. Best Prices Today: iPhone 6 Please note that we haven’t got our hands on an iPhone 6 yet but we’ve been well informed by colleagues in the US....

JBL has been in business for over 70 years, cementing itself as a consistent presence in both the personal and home audio space. In a surprise move, the company used the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show to announce its move into a new area – gaming – with the Quantum series. The JBL Quantum range takes the form of seven gaming headsets (as well as a set of speakers), now standing in the same arena as the likes of Razer and SteelSeries....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros 16GB microSD included Suction & adhesive mounts supplied Wi-Fi + GPS Cons Unremarkable video quality Our Verdict Video quality isn’t amazing, but the A301W offers a good range of features for the price. Best Prices Today: Kenwood DRV-A301W Kenwood is a well-known brand in the UK that you might associate with car audio, camcorders or even food mixers.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Leapfrog LeapBand is a lot of fun and is a great way to make sure kids get a decent dose of physical exercise during the day, while letting them have fun and play with gadgets all at the same time. It doesn’t require the LeapPad tablet, and even is compatible with iOS and Android phones and tablets. The design is not too childish so might appeal to kids as old as 9 or even 10, as well as the target 4-7 year olds....

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel – also known as the Legion Phone Pro in China – is the company’s first attempt at a flagship gaming phone, and it’s gone all-out from the word go. With the world’s fastest processors, dual batteries, and a selfie camera that pops out of the side of the phone, the Legion Phone Duel isn’t quite like anything else on the market. Here’s everything we know about the Legion Phone, including when the phone actually comes out in the UK....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Great battery life Useful kickstand Sharp display Afforable price Cons Middling performance Slightly dim display Android for tablets is still clunky Our Verdict The Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 isn’t the most powerful tablet on the market, or the cheapest, but with a supremely useful kickstand, strong multimedia chops and great battery life it does more than enough to justify its price and to earn some attention in the process....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Z1 is a good first attempt from ZUK. It’s not a super-cheap budget phone, but we think the price is about right given the hardware inside. Standout features include the 5.5in full-HD screen, large battery, 64GB of built-in storage and USB-C port. Although there’s no removable battery or microSD card support, you could argue that you need neither. Best Prices Today: Lenovo ZUK Z1 This mid-range Android phone is packed with goodies, including 64GB of storage, a large battery, USB-C and a fingerprint scanner....

Currys PC World is launching an album called Sound Asleep. If the title doesn’t exactly scream PARTY! , that’s intentional – the makers hope their efforts will help listeners drift off. The project was inspired by a survey conducted in the UK by Atomik Research, showing that a third of respondents are struggling to sleep at night (and who can blame them, after the year we’ve had?). Further, 40% of people use white noise from devices or appliances including smartphones, hairdryers and vacuum cleaners to help them fall asleep....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The LG gram 15 might look and feel the same as before but comes with a number of upgrades including 8th-gen Intel, more storage, a fingerprint scanner and Thunderbolt 3. It’s amazingly light and offers excellent battery life too. However, all of this comes at a very high price (especially in the UK) and you can get similar packages at much lower cost with laptops like the Microsoft Surface Laptop and Lenovo Yoga 920....

First off, what exactly will it do and how can a steam wardrobe, or steam closet, improve your day-to-day life? The appliance has a number of functions and uses. In essence, it’s an add-on to your laundry set-up, in that it won’t replace anything you already have but will give you another option for dealing with clothes and fabrics. The standard size models have space for three hanging garments, which can be steamed and gently agitated to freshen them up and to help remove wrinkles....

Linksys has announced its first mesh Wi-Fi 7 system, the Velop Pro 7 MBE7000. It’s available in one, two, and three packs, offering coverage of up to 9000 square feet. Wi-Fi 7 is the big news, of course. It might seem the same as Wi-Fi 6E because it uses the same 2.4, 5 and 6GHz bands, but with Wi-Fi 7 , devices will be able to connect to the 5- and 6GHz bands at the same time for faster speeds and more reliable connections....

In summary Images of Motorola Edge 70 Ultra emerge Two colours and an apparent material finish Other spec claims recently made After stepping out of the flagship smartphone war for a spell, Motorola looks set to rejoin with the Edge 70 Ultra. We haven’t seen a new flagship Ultra phone (or one that doesn’t bend in half , at least) since the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra in May of 2024. The lack of a Motorola Edge 60 Ultra was reliably tipped back in June....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It may not be the loudest portable Bluetooth speaker we’ve tried, nor offer the best audio quality, but we love the additional functionality afforded by the Marsboy B2’s microSD card slot, and in our experience kids love the colour-changing LEDs. Although we didn’t have two Marsboy speakers with which to test it, the ability to pair two of these speakers is a great idea and should help ramp up the volume....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite has perfectly competent core gameplay, with some welcome touches to make things more accessible to newcomers, but is let down by everything around that gameplay loop. Character designs, voice acting, writing, and just about everything about the story mode are all well below what one of the year’s biggest fighting games should be offering, and that’s enough to ruin even the simple joy of watching Thor pick a fight with Ryu....

If you’ve bought a phone recently, you might not have thought too much about the chipset. But it’s fundamental to the way the device works. Officially known as an SoC (system on a chip), they combine CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphics processing unit) and RAM (random access memory) onto a single piece of silicon. Most modern chipsets also include NPUs (neural processing units), which are specifically designed for machine learning – essentially, AI features and other related tasks....
