The Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ are here. Samsung’s flagship tablets have had a significant refresh for 2020, with 120Hz AMOLED displays, premium design and all-important S-Pen.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Bose has done a pretty decent job at making its first wireless earbuds.

There’s a good reason that the vast majority of people use Chrome to browse the web. For one thing, it’s Google’s browser and it defaults to searching with Google. Obviously. It’s also the default browser on many Android phones and tablets.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Silly as it may sound, the V11’s new LCD screen is a genuine innovation, and the High Torque head’s Auto mode is ideal for those of us too lazy to switch attachments.
