Though Samsung’s S series smartphones tend to get the headlines, it’s the company’ A-series devices that often fill best-seller charts worldwide. That trend looks set to continue with the launch of the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, one of the Korean giant’s main mid-range phone releases for 2023. We had big hopes for 2022’s Galaxy A53 , and it largely delivered, but was hampered by terrible performance. Here’s hoping the A54 doesn’t suffer the same fate....

At Samsung’s Unpacked event on 20 February 2019, the company unveiled a new range of Galaxy S10 phones, the Galaxy Active smartwatch and new wirelesss headphones, the Galaxy Buds . On top of this, but with barely any stage time at all, were two new fitness bands, the Galaxy Fit and Fit e. If those sound a little familiar, it’s because there’s also the Gear Fit. Samsung seems to have replaced that with the Galaxy Wearables brand, but there’s not a whole lot of new features or tech here to get too excited about....

At a Glance Our Verdict If you don’t need an S-Pen, the Galaxy S10 could well be the better phone for you. It has a standard headphone jack and – for what it’s worth – a higher resolution screen. Importantly, its cameras are just as good as the Note 10’s. Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy S10 Samsung has, for the first time, launched the Galaxy Note as a range.

It’s pretty rare for premium audio brand Sonos to discount its gear, so we’re seriously impressed by the savings it’s decided to offer for the Black Friday weekend – many of which have been price-matched by other retailers too. The standout deal is for the Sonos Beam soundbar. Already affordable at £399/$399, it’s down to just £299/$299 for Black Friday, making it a pretty solid addition if you’re also grabbing a new TV today ....

A decade after their introduction, Chromebooks have proven themselves to be extremely capable devices . They often operate at the more affordable end of the market, offering solid specs and a premium design at a price that often undercuts Windows and macOS PCs. One device that satisfies that criteria is Lenovo’s IdeaPad Duet 5i, which is down to just £379 with a £170 discount at Currys. In exchange, you get a 10 th -gen Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM a nd a 128GB SSD – Chrome OS’ direct integration with the cloud means it delivers the solid everyday performance we’ve come to expect from Lenovo PCs ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If there’s one word to sum up Shazam! it’s this: fun. Unlike Aquaman, which lost sight of its funny side in the attempt to always be epic, Shazam! knows that the best way to save a silly superhero is to keep them, well, silly. Zachary Levi is perfection, Mark Strong chews up all the scenery he can get his hands on, and even the kids hold their own as the script zigs and zags between daft teen comedy and surprisingly sincere family fluff – and against all the odds, it somehow always works....

With so many people transitioning to working from home in the past few months, demand for laptops has arguably never been higher. Still considered the optimal blend between power and portability, they offer a tried-and-trusted way to stay productive away from the workplace. Perhaps inevitably, the tech supply chain has struggled to cope with the surge in demand, particularly considering manufacturing came to a near-standstill in some countries. That begs the question: Is it really worth buying a laptop now?...

While there are plenty of Mac features that PC fans would love to see introduced on Windows 10, it’s a little harder to think of great Windows features that Mac users might want to see on macOS. But even a company like Apple can learn a thing or two from Microsoft-owned Windows 10, boasting a few key features we’d love to see ported over to Mac in the next few years – and we outline them right here....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It’s not for everyone, but if you don’t need or want GPS and you’d prefer a camera that can be used for more than recording car journeys, it’s very good value indeed. It’s disappointing that it doesn’t record true 4K, but you’d have to spend Considerably more to get that.

Sky has released the Sky Stream, a media streaming box that allows more people to access Sky content without a satellite dish. The Sky Stream is similar to the Sky Stream Puck, which was announced last year as a way of getting a multi-room experience with the Sky Glass television. However, the Sky Stream is a standalone device that can plug into any TV. In many ways, it’s a Sky Q mini box but is even smaller and doesn’t require a main Sky Q box to work making it like an Apple TV 4K or other media streamers from the likes of Roku....

When we reviewed the Sony Xperia 1 III back in 2021, we were impressed by the innovative camera system, powerful performance and class-leading audio. Now, the Sony Xperia IV is here, with a smattering of tweaks and upgrades to satiate Sony fans’ appetites. There are obvious additions – like the move to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset – but more nuanced upgrades too, like the new Music Pro experience and continuous optical zoom from its unique telephoto camera....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict There’s no doubt that the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium has some interesting things to offer. It namely has a 4K HDR display and excellent rear cameras which can record 4K HDR video, as well as taking excellent photographs. That’s great if you’re seeking a 4K HDR phone but we’re not convinced many people are, and this all comes at a price. We’re talking both the £799/$999 literal price tag (especially high for those in the US), but also the highly questionable design which, among other things, is far too thick and heavy....

If you’d prefer to spend your time this summer relaxing in the garden, a robot lawnmower is a huge time-saver. It’s also a handy option if you have older relatives who are starting to struggle with gardening chores. The snag is that they tend to cost well over £500, with most domestic models clustering between £1,000 and £1,500. But prices are coming down. Still, nothing we’ve seen is as well-priced as the model available from Aldi....
