Apple’s AirPods are among the most popular true wireless earbuds available in 2020, offering flawless wireless connectivity, amazing beam-forming microphone technology and the smarts that Apple fans know and love. Like any smart product, the AirPods are updated from time-to-time, and sometimes they even offer new features – an upcoming AirPods Pro update will bring spatial audio support for Apple’s high-end buds – but it’s not obvious how to actually initiate the update process....
The first thing you need is a tablet, of course, loaded with a teleprompter app and your script, which we will come to in more detail below.

Now Android has added a very similar feature called the Android Device Manager for GPS-equipped smartphones and tablets ....
While the concept of using a keyboard and mouse on the Xbox One seems alien to some gamers, it makes sense, especially given the growing convergence between Xbox One and PC with Microsoft’s Play Anywhere scheme. This means that, in theory, most of the games on the Xbox One can support keyboard and mouse input. We’re not disputing that the standard console controller is great for casual gaming, but it simply can’t offer the precision and ease-of-access to functions as what is provided by gaming keyboards and mice....
Sony’s PlayStation 4 was the biggest console of the last generation, with over 100m units sold since its release back in 2013. Since it was announced, the PS4 has seen a number of changes – both in terms of hardware and software – but one feature that has remained unchanged is Remote Play, a feature that allows you to play your favourite PS4 games from anywhere with a high-speed internet connection....

Although being stuck indoors can be rather depressing, if you are lucky enough to have a garden it will do you the world of good to occassionally get a change of scenery and a breath of fresh air by working from your garden.

Huawei has announced three new Mate 50 phones that all sport the same variable aperture camera and the latest high-end Qualcomm processor – but without 5G support. Coming two years after the Mate 40 phones and a year after the P50 Pro was initially announced, the company has its latest specs-heavy flagships ready to go. The Huawei Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 Pro RS Porsche design are coming first to the Chinese market, and the company hasn’t indicated if they will travel further afield – but we hope they do....
At a Glance Our Verdict The Mate X is proof the future is nearly here, but you might not want to buy a first generation foldable phone.

The Huawei Mate X2 is, despite the name, the company’s third Mate X foldable phone. It’s no simple iteration though, as Huawei has gone back to the drawing board to reinvent its foldable’s design, with only a little inspiration taken from rival Samsung. With an internal folding display – so it closes like a book – the new Mate X2 also features a revamped hinge, a tapered design that allows it to close without a gap, bigger displays than any foldable so far, and a seriously powerful camera module....
Huawei has updated is MatePad Pro with a new 11in version the company claims is the thinnest and lightest tablet of its size, but it only wins out if those metrics are combined. At 5.9mm, the new slate is exactly the same depth as Apple’s latest 11in – though both devices have camera bumps that are thicker than that measurement. It means the new Huawei tablet is much thinner than the 2020 version of the MatePad Pro , which was 7....

As many tech journalists were wrapping up their coverage of one notable phone launch in the West last week, Huawei was busy breaking new ground in its homeland of China. The company was showing local press a new foldable, the likes of which we’ve only ever seen in science fiction until now. And I just got to spend some time with it in person. The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design is the world’s first ‘tri-fold’ foldable phone....
Light therapy masks are the tech skincare must-have of the moment. If you have any sort of social media exposure, you’ll have seen influencers donning one of these outlandish-looking devices as part of their skincare routine.

As good as Samsung’s flagship phones are, the company has a patchy record when it comes to more affordable handsets. It’s not for a lack of choice, with a huge number of budget and mid-range Galaxy smartphones launching every single year. However, aside from a few key exceptions, they’re often flawed to the extent that we can’t recommend them. In recent years, the same criticism can be levelled against Samsung’s ‘FE’ branded phones....
