OnePlus has just announced a new globally available tablet in the OnePlus Pad 3, and it’s the second tablet to bear that moniker in the past six months. Back in December, OnePlus announced the OnePlus Pad 3 for its home territory of China. This isn’t that tablet. Rather, the OnePlus Pad 3 that will launch in much of the rest of the globe (including the UK and Europe) on 5 June appears to be the device that was recently announced in China as the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro ....

After many years of pushing by the tech industry, smart glasses (and various other forms of techy headgear) are starting to catch on. It’s a trend that, until now, had left me quite skeptical – for one key reason: the design. This is either because they’re obviously ‘smart’, meaning you’re a likely candidate to be robbed down a dark alley, or they make you look like a complete wally. In the case of the Apple Vision Pro , it’s both (sorry, not sorry)....

Samsung has announced the Galaxy S24 FE as its latest mid-range phone and while the handset looks rather familiar, it gets a few upgrades in different areas including one big one. The Galaxy S24 FE (fan edition) is Samsung’s typical late-in-the-year addition to the flagship range, offering some traits of the S24 but for a mid-range price. Samsung calls it “A premium experience that makes full Galaxy AI capabilities attainable for more users....

Planet Zoo’s latest paid DLC launches today, and this time the game is exploring the land down under with the new Australia pack. This is the third paid geographical DLC for the main game, following the release of the Arctic and South America packs. But whilst most people will be talking about the new five Australian animals that you get in your zoos (the Koala, Dingo, Red Kangaroo, Southern Cassowary, and Eastern Blue-Tongued Lizard), the real heart of this pack is the designs and artwork incorporated within the new locations and 200+ scenery items, and the ties that they have to Australian Aboriginal culture....

Vivo has officially unveiled its latest flagship phone: the 5G-enabled Vivo Nex 3, headlined by a whopping 99.6 percent screen-to-body ratio. That’s thanks to what Vivo calls a ‘ Waterfall FullView Display ’, which is basically fancy talk for a 6.89in curved FHD+ POLED screen that wraps round the sides of the phone and goes right to the top and bottom edges. It should be a pretty good screen too, not just a big one – the 6....

Xiaomi has officially launched the 13 series phones internationally, but you could be forgiven for thinking not much has changed on the 13 Pro compared to the equivalent phone from last year. The huge camera bump has been redesigned, sure, but it still houses a trio of 50Mp rear sensors. Aside from that, isn’t this just the usual boring spec bump we’ve come to associate with flagship phones? Absolutely not. As it turns out, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is a substantial upgrade compared to 2022’s 12 Pro ....

Apple introduced its high-end premium smartwatch in the form of the Apple Watch Ultra in 2022 and followed it up with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 a year later. They’re bigger (with a 49mm casing) and bolder than the regular Apple Watch , designed for extreme sports and enthusiasts. They are still two of the best smartwatches money can buy. With a bigger and brighter screen, it’s easier to see and use in bright sunlight or under water....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A very powerful router that packs almost all the networking functionality any home user might reasonably want. The C5400 Lilly is gilded with wired link aggregation and now IoT support. A monster wireless router that should handle what most users can throw at it with ease.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you’re trying to choose between the TrackR Bravo and a Tile, chances are you dislike the Tile’s disposable nature. But it has a better range than the Bravo and a louder, easier to hear alarm. It’s also waterproof so won’t stop working if left outside in the rain. The Bravo has its advantages, but its downfall is that it just isn’t reliable enough, and that’s a deal-breaker....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Fantastic quad camera Snapdragon 888 Slick design Cons No wireless charging No IP rating FuntouchOS still frustrating Our Verdict The Vivo X60 Pro+ delivers an ultra flagship camera in a (relatively) affordable and compact package, but you’ll have to give up wireless charging, an IP rating, and stereo speakers – and put up with some occasionally frustrating software. Best Prices Today: Vivo X60 Pro+ It’s a shame that the Vivo X60 Pro+ isn’t releasing outside of China and India, because it makes a pretty compelling case that Vivo can hold its own against Samsung and Xiaomi in the flagship space....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict This isn’t a bad attempt at a budget tablet with decent build and almost stock Android. If you want 4G data on the go for simple tasks then the Vodafone Tab Prime 6 isn’t a bad choice with the PAYG option. However, if you’re not going to make use of the 4G then you’re much better off going for a tablet like the Tesco Hudl 2 which is cheaper and offers much better specs....

Cloud storage is a more convenient alternative to saving files to your computer’s hard drive, or on your phone or tablet. When you save a file on a device, it’s typically only accessible from that device. But when you store files in “the cloud” you can access them from any device using a web browser or an app. The cloud, of course, simply means the internet. Or, more specifically, a server on the internet....
