At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We like the Inateck BP2001. It looks good, it sounds good, and it’s cheap. It’s not in Bose territory, but if all you want to do is turn up the volume on your phone, tablet, PC or laptop, the Inateck BP2001 is a steal at £28.99. Best Prices Today: Inateck BP2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Inateck’s BP2001 is a well-priced portable Bluetooth speaker designed to work with your tablet , but it’s compatible with any smartphone , laptop , PC or other device with a Bluetooth connection or 3....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The iPhone 7 is an evolution of the 6S, so if you were expecting a revolution you’ll probably be slightly disappointed. However, aside from the underwhelming battery life, it is an excellent phone. It’s waterproof, has fantastic cameras and performance, and the new stereo speakers sound great. There’s now 32GB of storage as a minimum, which helps to mitigate the higher prices. If you have an iPhone 6s, it’s hard to justify upgrading (even for some people with a 6) but if you’re out of contract and want a small phone, it’s the best Apple has made yet....

At a Glance Our Verdict The choice between the similarly priced iPhone XR and Sony Xperia XZ3 could come down to whether you want to use iOS or Android. The XZ3 has a better screen but the XR comes in more colours and has an amazingly fast processor. If you want expandable storage then go for the Sony, if you want harmony with your iPad and Mac, go for the iPhone....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Slim and portable Metal body Large, clear display Cons Poor battery life Slow download speeds Bad speakers Our Verdict The Jumper EZbook X3 Air doesn’t look like a budget laptop, but the battery life is its downfall. Best Prices Today: Jumper EZbook X3 Air Not everyone has the luxury of dropping around £1,000 on a laptop these days, and if you’re looking for a budget buy it can be hard to know what’s a good deal....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Despite a few niggles and the astronomical cost should you buy the whole set, there is so much fun to be had with Lego Dimensions. Mashing up characters and worlds is pure genius and the NFC base takes things to a new level for the ‘toy-to-life’ category. You just need to resist the urge to splash out on the entire collection. Best Prices Today: LEGO Dimensions Lego is more popular than ever and Dimensions is the biggest Lego game yet....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Lenovo Yoga 920 is an excellent hybrid laptop. It has amazing battery life, great build, good looks, real power and a high-quality screen with a pressure sensitive stylus. What’s not to like? It’s not great for gaming, and a few similarly slim laptops now have discrete graphics. Display brightness could be higher too and it would be good to see the 4K option come to the UK....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Overall, the LG 47LB730V can be Considered a reasonable performer for the price – made entirely more desirable by the inclusion of webOS. Elegant and inventive, this is Smart TV the way it should be done. Consequently, if you’re a heavy user of streaming services, be they catch-up or subscription, this screen should be high on your audition list. Best Prices Today: LG 47LB730V At first glance LG’s 47-inch LB730V might look much like any other well-specified full-HD flatscreen TV ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Overall we are disappointed with the LG G4C. It is neither cheap enough to be truly budget, nor good enough to stand out in a crowded middle of the Android phone market. Battery life is great, performance poor. Best Prices Today: LG G4c There’s no official LG G4 mini, but this mid-range phone is the closest you’ll find to one. Cheaper and smaller than the flagship Android phone , but neither cheap- nor compact enough to turn heads, the LG G4c is something of a disappointment....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A vast improvement on the original the new Lumsing desktop charger is cheaper than Zendure’s design with an identical spec, but it still lacks support for Quick Charge 2.0. A good-value buy if you don’t have a QC-compatible phone or device. Best Prices Today: Lumsing 40W 5-Port Desktop Charger With 40W of power the Lumsing can power up to five phones and tablets from a single mains power outlet....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Mixed reality is great fun Big step up in graphics quality Much cheaper than the Apple Vision Pro Cons Not many mixed reality titles… yet Not as affordable as the Quest 2 Video passthrough could be better Our Verdict With night-and-day graphics upgrades and the addition of mixed reality, the Quest 3 justifies its higher price. There’s enough here to even recommend Quest 2 owners upgrading....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Powerful High-quality build Good range of cleaning tools Pet hair tool excellent on upholstery Cons Tiny 0.3-litre bin Short battery life and battery not swappable No headlights Our Verdict This is a powerful, high-quality stick vacuum that’s likely to last you a long time. But for its price, its features are a little limited, as is its battery life. Best Prices Today: Miele DuoFlex HX1 Cat and Dog While Dyson vacuum cleaners are justly well known, there’s another brand that makes equally effective high-end vacuums....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Moto G5 Plus is an impressive phone for under £250. It’s barely any bigger than the normal model which is odd but it might well be worth spending the extra to get more storage, a better processor and a significantly better camera. Best Prices Today: Moto G5 Plus Lenovo’s Motorola Mobility used MWC 2017 to show off its new Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus, which are brilliantly priced smartphones that offer some of the features of its flagship but without the cost....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The standard, non-customised Moto X is a desirable smartphone, but it’s a little overpriced especially if you compare it with the Nexus 5. So Google’s phone may lack the premium build quality and hi-res camera, but in most other respects it’s a match for the Motorola at a significantly lower price. What makes the new Moto X really attractive is Moto Maker, as it’s unlikely anyone else will choose your combination of customisations....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If your wallet and broadband can cope with it, the Nest Cam IQ is a great all-round package. However, given the issues with facial recognition and reliance on the subscription to use most of the features, it doesn’t represent good value. Best Prices Today: Nest Cam IQ Home security cameras have come a long way and Nest’s Cam IQ offers some impressive tech for those with deep pockets....

At a Glance Our Verdict Which Nest you should buy depends a lot on where you are. In the US, the E is almost a no-brainer: it’s $80 cheaper, offers almost exactly the same features, and takes the same effort to install. In the UK it’s trickier. The devices themselves are almost the same price, so the only saving comes from skipping professional installation costs. It’s not clear that the E really is substantially easier to install though, and we suspect that most of the people who’d want to pay for installation with the 3rd gen would also opt to pay for it with the E....

Nvidia took to the stage and announced not only the incredibly powerful GeForce RTX 3000 Series of graphics cards, which it’s calling the biggest generational leap in performance ever, but a new piece of software for livestreamers too. Nvidia Broadcast is a new suite of tools for gamers that want to make their livestreams look and sound more professional without the need to buy expensive additional hardware like a greenscreen and noise-absorbing panels, utilising the AI Tensor cores of the company’s RTX GPUs to perform audio and video magic....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Rift S is comfortable, boasts high-end optics and offers inside-out tracking that completely eliminates the need for external sensors, but it’s not the perfect upgrade from the original Rift, lacking built-in headphones and hardware-based IPD adjustment.

Samsung may finally be set to put its One UI 7 rollout problems behind it, while it could also be in talks to replace Gemini as the default AI assistant on future Galaxy smartphones . The rollout of Samsung’s latest UI hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing, with a serious bug seemingly prompting the Korean manufacturer to delay a wider rollout to older Galaxy models. At least Samsung Galaxy S25 series owners have something to smile about, with the news that Samsung is ready to wrap up major work on One UI 7....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Colour quirks aside, the OnePlus 8 is a fantastic flagship smartphone at an amazing price. You rarely get this quality level of design, features and performance at such good value. When the biggest let down is that the main camera can do a better job of close-ups than the macro lens, you know you have an excellent phone. The main thing is whether the Pro is enough to tempt you to splash out....
