Released alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 5 , Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic , and the Galaxy Tab S9 series, here’s everything you need to know about the Galaxy Z Fold 5....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Headphone socket Expandable storage Front-facing speakers Excellent performance Cons Super expensive Middling camera performance Our Verdict Sony’s latest flagship takes the old school approach, with a dedicated headphone socket, front-facing speakers, near-stock Android and expandable storage.

We’ve written a review of this compact Android phone, but we’ll summarise the key new features and specifications you want to know here. Perhaps one of the most interesting features about this upcoming phone – aside from its small iPhone-rivalling size – is the fact it runs Android Oreo, and is set to go on sale before the new Google Pixel phones have even been announced....

At a Glance Our Verdict It’s actually quite amazing what Sony has achieved in six short months, though we can’t help wondering why it just didn’t get it right the first time around. The Sony Xperia XZ2 is faster, lasts longer, looks a lot nicer (and more current), and has improved photography and audio credentials bar the loss of the headphone jack and lower-resolution selfie camera. It’s £100 more than the XZ1’s RRP, but if you can afford it then an upgrade from XZ1 to XZ2 sounds like a no-brainer....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Sony Xperia Z3 is undoubtedly a decent and desirable smartphone but Z2 owners will have little reason to upgrade unless PS4 Remote Play or High-Res audio are must-haves. In terms of the wider market, the Z3 is up there with the best and a solid choice even if it doesn’t have the amount of bells and whistles which others do.

We’ve just published our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review on Tech Advisor, declaring it “the best foldable phone you can buy”. But there are models on the way which might take its crown, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The Z Fold 7 looks like a marvel of engineering – a beautiful phone with a lot to like. However, Samsung hasn’t focused on the things that matter most to me, so if the leaks are true, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be the winner....

At a Glance Our Verdict We remain truly enamoured of the Surface Pro 3, a staggeringly impressive piece of engineering. On the face of it the Surface 3 is a cheaper, but less good version. Without testing it we cannot say for sure, but it feels to us as though the Surface 3 is more of a compromise, albeit at a lower price. If you can afford it, and you can live with the bigger screen, get the bigger, better device....
