At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Long battery life Wireless charging Clear microphone Cons Poor noise seal limits ANC Loose fit Unreliable hear-through mode Our Verdict The Jabra Elite 85t earbuds are a frustrating mis-step from a company that doesn’t usually make them. On paper these have had a spec boost and added ANC, but none of that counts for much when the physical design lets the audio quality down so badly, letting in so much noise that the ANC is near-pointless....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At this price the Leagoo T5 is an attractive device. The design belies its cost, and getting the combination of a decent 5.5in display, expandable storage, and fast fingerprint reader, makes a compelling proposition. It’s not all rainbows though, as the camera is average, we’re a bit concerned about the issues that could be caused by overheating, and the lack of NFC limits its use....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Lenovo B50-30 may have a lousy screen, bendy keyboard and a processor so slow that it’s overtaken by budget Android phones of yesteryear. But as a package to compete against Google and its new Chromebook competition it looks feature-packed, thanks to a relatively huge hard disk and even a DVD drive. With a zero-cash-cost Windows operating system, things have just got interesting in the budget laptop space....

Samsung may have just stolen headlines with its Galaxy Tab S9 range today but Lenovo’s latest Tab P12 and Tab M10 5G models are timely rivals coming in at much lower prices.

The top-spec Tab S9 Ultra will set you back a cool £1,699....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Fast performance Great for photography Huge 5,000mAh battery Cons All-plastic body Underwhelming macro lens Our Verdict It may not have the wow factor look of other mid-range smartphones available right now, but the Moto G 5G Plus certainly makes up for it in the performance department.

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Decent, slim design Typically excellent Motorola software Solid battery life 5G support Cons Display only 720p Poor performance Sub-optimal charger bundled in Our Verdict The Moto G53 5G is a good sub-£200 phone, but it fails to stand out in an increasingly crowded space – with Motorola itself providing much of the filler. It’s appealing enough to look at and use, particularly with Motorola’s clean software, but the lack of a decent 1080p display is a major drawback and performance is somewhat mediocre....

Mentioned in this article Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd generation) Google has been vague about the reason for the error, noting in a statement to The Verge that a “known issue with the Wi-Fi chip” on a “very small number” of Nest thermostats may be to blame....

Netflix’s attempts to stop password sharing are allegedly confusing for customers in Peru – one of the countries where it’s testing the feature before it begins to roll out across the world.
