At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Not everyone will need all the 422GW’s features but even if you don’t it’s still great value (but not in the US). And be prepared for a struggle to get Alexa working. Best Prices Today: Nextbase 422GW We’re reviewing the 422GW here which sits just one step below the current flagship, the 522GW . There will be a 4K 622GW at some point, but at the moment it’s still in the works....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The 512GW is an excellent dash cam that’s easy to install and use. Video quality is very good and it has some nifty features such as the automatic parking mode, plus the auto-dimming screen and the polariser which improves clarity in sunny conditions. There’s also the optional rear camera. Best Prices Today: Nextbase 512GW We originally reviewed the 512GW in mid-2017.

Rumours are swirling around suggesting Apple is working on a pair of cheap $99 AirPods which the internet has unceremoniously dubbed ‘AirPods Lite’. The news comes from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who, for what it’s worth, is usually quite accurate with his Apple-related predictions. In recent months, the analyst has correctly predicted the inclusion of 5G on the new iPhone SE, the introduction of a new 48Mp sensor on the iPhone 14 range and that Apple would continue to sell the second-gen AirPods following the release of the third-gen buds....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A dual-screen phone won’t be for everyone, but the Z20 is the closest you’re likely to get to a second display with mass-market appeal. A variety of settings and options mean you can use the second display as little or often as you like, while still enjoying all the benefits of the main camera for selfies, but it still feels a little awkward even at the best of times....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Great personalised sound High-end build quality Handy optional cables Cons In-ear drivers can get uncomfortable Auto-pause tech needs work Our Verdict The Nuraphones are a little expensive, but the headphones will truly astound with the ability to personalise the sound to your individual hearing, and the gaming mic accessory is great for gamers. The main issues here is whether you find the unusual design comfortable or not....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Large capacity Hot and cold usage Effective on nuts and veg Cons Can’t be used without liquid as an ice crusher Our Verdict This well-priced blender can handle both hot and cold ingredients. It excels at making creamy soups and can turn nuts and fibrous vegetables into smooth sauces. However, it’s not a substitute for a bartender’s blender and if you’re primarily looking to make crushed ice drinks, there are better options....

If you’re about to buy a gaming laptop or a new graphics card for your PC, then you’ll be looking at Nvidia’s 10-series GPUs. The full range now includes the 1080 Ti, 1080, 1070, 1060 and entry-level 1050. AMD’s current Radeon RX range competes with Nvidia only at the lower end. The Radeon RX Vega is coming soon. The GeForce GTX 10-series cards are all fast, but as well as being great for the latest PC games, they’re also ideal if you want to hook up a VR headset ....

The Oculus GO is an amazing headset that offers standalone VR at a competitive price, but it isn’t designed for gaming and lacks those high-end features that Oculus Rift users have got used to over the past few years. Thankfully, that has been rectified with the launch of the Oculus Quest, the first standalone headset from the company to offer full 6DOF tracking without the need for a PC or tracking stations....

Following on from releasing a bevvy of new laptops – including the indomitable-looking ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 , last week – Lenovo has followed up with a slew of new Android tablets in time for MWC 2021. Like a lot of companies attending Mobile World Congress this year, Lenovo did so in a virtual capacity only; meaning it could spend more time poring over the shiny new hardware it’s bringing to market....

OnePlus has released the OnePlus 15, and it’s gunning for the Google Pixel 10 Pro’s status as the quintessential Android smartphone. Not only has OnePlus taken a big step towards Google (and, let’s face it, everyone else) on design, but it’s packed its new flagship phone with several eyebrow-raising specifications. All this, and it’s charging £150/$100 less for the OnePlus 15 than Google is for the Pixel 10 Pro . It’s looking like an easy win for the newcomer… or is it?...

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent performance Great user experience with nice AI additions Impressive and unique productivity features Maintains stylus support, unlike rivals Cons Hard to come by in most markets Thermal performance concerns Battery life could be better Our Verdict Despite fresh-faced competition, the Oppo Find N5 doesn’t really lose its edge, offering a richer foldable experience overall, with battery life and global availability being its most notable shortcomings....

Oppo has officially launched its new budget tablet , the Oppo Pad SE. The new tablet launches today at a price of £219, which pitches it directly against the likes of the Redmi Pad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ . It features an 11-inch 90Hz LCD with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. This can get up to 500 nits of brightness, and Oppo is calling it an “Eye-Care Display” thanks to its low-blue light and flicker free features....

As promised, the Poco F2 Pro is here and is set to be one of the best bang for your buck phones of 2020. It’s got flagship specs at a mid-range price to rival the likes of Samsung and OnePlus. It’s still a device focused on performance, but looks like something of an all-rounded with decent gaming and photography credentials. Importantly, for Western markets, comes in at a frankly ridiculous price – in a good way....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Range of shooting options Classic retro design Tripod mountable Cons Hit and miss images Bulky and heavy Expensive camera and film Our Verdict The Polaroid Now+ has some creative shooting options, but it isn’t easily portable and isn’t suited for photography beginners. Best Prices Today: Polaroid Now+ There are numerous instant camera brands out there, but without a doubt the most famous is Polaroid. The latest analogue camera from Polaroid is the Now+, which boasts the classic design of past cameras from the brand, but includes new features via the companion app so users can get creative....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Capacity Ease of use One-button programmes Connected recipe feature Cons Takes up a chunk of space Other smart functionality is of limited use Our Verdict The T21 sounds like a gimmick but if you’re already in the market for an air fryer, it’s well worth your Consideration. It’s capacious, easy to use and the one-press cooking programmes, via the app’s extensive recipe list, will change up your cooking routine....

During its Connect keynote on 27 September 2023, Meta announced the follow-up to Ray-Ban Stories. Launched back in 2021, Stories were a first step into the world of smart glasses. It seems that two years on, not a lot has changed. The name has: instead of being called Stories 2, the second-gen specs are called Ray-Ban Meta, but the glasses themselves are much the same as before, even if there’s a new frame style on offer....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A subtle improvement on the original, Samsung has made the Galaxy Fit 2 a very competitive fitness tracker. Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 Samsung has updated its fitness band range with the new Galaxy Fit 2. This sees a cut in price, but does that mean a drop in quality or features? Features & Design The original Galaxy Fit in silver and the Fit 2 in black...

At a Glance Our Verdict Overall, the Galaxy S5 mini and Galaxy Alpha are reasonably evenly matched smartphones from Samsung. With just 0.2in difference between the screen size, your decision between the two will come down to metal vs plastic when it comes to design. Of course, there’s also the matter of processor and camera, both of which the Alpha wins at, but a lower price and better storage options are where the S5 mini manages to fight back....

At a Glance Our Verdict The S8 set the benchmark of last year, and S9 is really a small upgrade – but how can you improve on the best phone of 2017? A lot of Samsung’s development effort has been put into the camera, and this can be seen across the market – as manufactures desperately try and innovate their phones. Samsung is certainly a few steps ahead when it comes to the hardware and camera design....
