Verdict The Nokia G42 is a budget smartphone that between its excellent battery life, distinctive design and long software support, has a lot to offer. But for a better display, more performance or a killer feature, it would be easier to recommend. Pros Excellent battery life Distinctive design Long software support Cons Weedy performance Low […]
Verdict The Casio G-Shock DW-H5600 is one of the best hybrid smartwatches Casio has built, but even then it still has work to do on the hardware and software front to make it a truly worthy buy. Pros Great G-Shock look Easy to view display Good sleep tracking Cons Heart rate accuracy Connected GPS just […]
Verdict Though it’s pricier than its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2) is a tempting buy. It fixes the big complaints with the original while offering performance similar to that of flagships that cost much more. It also looks pretty cool with Nothing’s signature transparent LED-infused rear. Pros Unique LED-laden design High-end 6.7-inch OLED display Snappy […]
Verdict The TCL 40R 5G is a mid-range device doing its best to offer more than most at the £199/$220 price range – and it succeeds in many ways. It looks good, performance is solid, and the battery life isn’t bad, either. Its simple camera setup leaves some to be desired for anyone looking for […]

Pros microSD card support Little in the way of bloatware […]
Verdict The Realme GT 3 isn’t the most eye-catching smartphone, but the combination of a flagship chipset, great display and incredibly fast 240W charging makes it a solid choice nonetheless.

Verdict The Ray-Ban Stories are camera-toting smartglasses that really do look like a lovely pair of shades and are capable of capturing your adventures in a more memorable way. Ultimately though, they don’t have the hardware to deliver the standout performance to match that attractive, designer look and also doesn’t always make it obvious to […]
Verdict With the Garmin Forerunner 965 it really is all about the screen because with that aside, it’s offering the same features as the 955.
