Google Glass 2 UK release date: When is Google Glass 2 coming out? Google Glass 2 is no longer just a rumour. Despite Google’s confirmation on 16 January that the Explorer programme was closing and the original Google Glass was being taken off sale on 19 January, the company also confirmed that this is not the end for Google Glass. In a Google+ post it wrote: “Since we first met, interest in wearables has exploded and today it’s one of the most exciting areas in technology....

Of course, Samsung is not Android. Google makes Android work, and its Google Pixel 3 is the company’s vision of what Android hardware and software working together should be. It has a new look and an amazing camera. On the other hand, the Galaxy S9 is familiar territory for Samsung given it looks like the S8. Both the Pixel 3 and Galaxy S9 are top Android phones with advantages to buying either....

GoPro Karma Grip review: Price You can buy the Karma Grip for £289.95 from John Lewis. You can also buy it from GoPro’s website and, in the US, it costs $299.99. DJI’s Osmo Mobile originally launched at the same £289 price, but has now gone up to £319. Yet it still costs $299, and you can buy it from Apple in the UK for £289. GoPro Karma Grip review: Features and design Unlike the more sculpted, ergonomic design of the Osmo Mobile, the Karma Grip looks a bit basic with a relatively simple ‘tube’ design....

Of course, Gryphon’s late arrival means that it’s up against plenty of rival routers and mesh networking systems. It’s also relatively expensive, although Gryphon hopes that the router’s strong, tri-band performance and its focus on security and parental controls will help it to stand out in this crowded market. The Gryphon Smart Wi-Fi is only a router, though, and doesn’t include a modem for internet access, so – as with most mesh routers – you’ll need to connect it to your existing modem or router in order to connect to the Internet....

It has a somewhat unorthodox square design which allows you to either lay it down flat or stand it upright. It’s available in black, white or brown. The top side has large buttons for power, volume and other controls like playback. An LED indicates power and connection status while five small LEDs on the side show the battery level. Also on the side are a 3.5 mm auxiliary input and a Micro-USB port for charging....

Up to 10 devices can connect simultaneously, which is more generous than many services, and there’s also WireGuard support, which rolled out at the end of May 2020. Just head to Settings > Protocol and you can choose it from the list. It has also upgraded its free offering significantly, so now offers 10GB to use each month and once that’s gone you can still use the service, but can’t pick which of the five free locations to connect to....

When is the Honor 7X release date? Honor held a launch in London today where it announced the 7X and a second phone, the higher-end View 10 model. You can read our hands-on review of the Honor 7X. How much does the Honor 7X cost? It’s £269.99, and that comes with 64GB of on-board storage. What are the Honor 7X specifications? It has a 5.93in screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2160×1080....

They did this by making it taller with an 18:9 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. 18:9 is super fashionable, but until now with the 7X, was out of reach for those on a budget. Even the OnePlus 5T costs £449, which is the very top of mid-range. The Honor looks a lot like Huawei’s Mate 10 Pro, but saves on cost to bring the price right down. Honor 7X: Price The 7X replaces the 6X, which cost £224 when it launched....

(Bear in mind that this phone has now been updated with the release of the Honor 10 Lite, reviewed here.) Honor’s range can get a little confusing especially when you include Huawei, the firm’s parent company, devices into the mix. So the Honor 9 Lite sounds like a cut-down version of the excellent Honor 9 and while it is to some extent, it’s also a sort of mini or light edition of the Honor View 10 because of its 18:9 screen....

All fall under the umbrella term of ‘special characters’, although it not always clear where to find them on Windows 10. Without further ado, here are three ways to quickly access special characters, without the need to copy from a Google search. How to type special characters using the touch keyboard The first, and arguably simplest, method is to use Windows 10’s on-screen keyboard.

Most people know how easy it is to install an adblocker for your desktop or laptop, though not as many know that you can block ads on your Android phone or tablet too. In fact it’s often even easier, with ad-blocking built right into some mobile web browsers, so you don’t need to install anything extra at all. Blocking ads is about more than just avoiding annoyance too. Ads are downloaded by your phone when you’re browsing the web, so every time you see one it’ll slightly slow down your phone and potentially add to your data bill....

Note: Don’t get the Mi Mix confused with Xiaomi’s other phablet, the Mi Max. We were very impressed with the Max, but it’s not in the same class as the Mix. Xiaomi Mi Mix release date: When is the Mi Mix coming out? The Mi Mix was announced in November 2016 and began shipping on 15 December. At Xiaomi’s first CES presentation in January it also announced a white model, with the Mi Mix previously available only in black....

How did a hacker access your email account? There are many ways a hacker might gain access to your email account, including the possibility that your login credentials fell into their hands through a data leak on another site, or perhaps you inadvertently handed it over by downloading some dodgy software or clicking a nefarious link (also see Best antivirus software). It’s also quite possible they accessed it via a brute-force attack, whereby they fire thousands of potential passwords at your account until they find one that fits....

They seem to have an uncanny tendency to strike just when you’re in the middle of something important, making for an extremely frustrating experience. If multiple apps are affected, it’s probably worth resetting your PC. This is probably a wider issue, and Windows 10 makes it easy to keep all your files during this process. However, if it’s just one program, force quitting the offending application is probably your best port of call....
