Verdict The Edge 40 Pro doesn’t set standards in any key area, but provides a good balance of power, camera ability and general usability, buoyed by ultra-fast charging. Pros Super-fast charging Powerful processor Respectable bright screen Cons Camera image processing a grade below the best Lower battery capacity than many Motorolas Finicky fingerprint scanner 120W […]
Verdict The iPhone 15 Plus has carved out its niche this year, with a discounted price in the UK along with several previously Pro-exclusive features like Dynamic Island tech, a new 48MP camera and impressively strong battery life that make it a tempting alternative to the top-end iPhone 15 Pro Max – it’s just a […]
Verdict The Nokia T10 Kids Edition is a tablet focussed on sprogs that has a lot going for it. With a light design, compact size, good battery life, two years of software updates, a robust kid-proof cover and a low price point, it makes a convincing case for itself – I just wish Google Kids […]
Verdict Xiaomi has refined the design to improve both the look and functionality of the Smart Band 8, and it’s a move that pays dividends. It still has plenty of imperfections as a tracker, but it’s very hard to argue with the value for money here. Pros Pebble Mode is excellent for runners More premium-feeling […]
Verdict The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a solid and more affordable AMOLED sports watch alternative to Garmin’s pricier Venu, which might not match it for smartwatch smarts, but still offers a great experience all round. Pros Sharp AMOLED colour screen Solid sports tracking modes Well integrated smartwatch features Cons Watch UI still needs some refining […]
Verdict The Fitbit Charge 6 is the go-to fitness tracker for those who want accurate daily tracking, rock-solid sleep monitoring, and advanced health features for a reasonable price, with Google integrations making the proposition more attractive than ever. It’s by no means a reliable device when it comes to GPS or heart rate tracking, and […]
Verdict The Garmin Venu 3 is a superb premium smartwatch. It’s aimed less at the fanatical athletic performance crowd, and instead offers the best interpretation of wellness data I’ve seen on a Garmin so far, and a great alternative to Oura and Whoop. However, most features are available on rival Garmins such as the Forerunner […]
Verdict The Huawei MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte is a device constructed around one feature – a specially etched screen that promises to reduce eye strain. It does precisely that, which makes it almost unlike anything else on the market. However, with no access to the Google Play Store, its successes are outweighed by its major weakness; […]
Verdict Don’t buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE if you want the most power you can get for your money. However, it’s ideal for time-wasting, video streaming and dabbling in digital artwork as it includes a good S-Pen stylus. Pros Good-looking design Includes a great S-Pen stylus Borderline overkill water resistance Cons Relatively weak […]
Verdict The Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro flatters to deceive, with consistent bugs and average accuracy plaguing the experience across the board. This could be an option for those who want an affordable and well-built smartwatch with Google’s services attached, but it’s certainly not one we thoroughly recommend. Pros Clean design and display Third-party apps True […]
