The watch is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, built for extreme weather conditions with 15 military certificates – three more than the standard T-Rex – and an IPX8 rating with shock resistance. The watch comes with over 100 exercise modes, more sensors and measurement tools, plus 10 ATM water resistance. The Amazfit T-Rex Pro sports a round HD AMOLED always-on display, measuring 1.3in. The face is surrounded by an angular metal-sprayed bezel and comes with a rugged silicone strap....

Devices with Alexa fully built-in contain microphones and speakers so you can use them on their own, while ones with it integrated require an Echo (£149) to interact. We’re sticking to built-in here. Logitech ZeroTouch This phone mount for your car comes in two versions. One sticks to your dashboard, and another to an air vent. The latter is cheaper, and we’ve even seen it on sale at Carphone Warehouse for £24....

For one day only you can get both GHD products for the money you’d usually spend on one, with the Air Hair Dryer ( reviewed) retailing at £99 and the Original Styler at £109. There are also separate deals on each product, but for the biggest saving of all you need to buy the two together. The Original IV Styler is GHD’s original and best-loved ceramic straightener. It’s an everyday styler for the sleekest, smoothest, shiniest locks, thanks to a rounded barrel and floating plates that can heat up to 185 degrees....

It’s dinky and has a cute circular screen on which it displays a clock, song lyrics, a weather forecast and a lot more. Alexa works well as an audio-only device, but the screen allows her to give you more information or, if not more, then prettier information. It’s more expensive than a second-generation Echo, which costs £89.99, but when you factor in the screen it makes sense and isn’t bad value at all....

We’ve been running Android Lollipop for a few months now, back when it was known only as Android L. We’ve also tested out the increased battery life, but Lollipop is no faster than KitKat. Google launched Android 4.4 KitKat last September and then showed off Android L at its I/O 2014 developer conference before officially announcing its final name and version number on 15 October. Android 5.1 Lollipop update UK release date According to AndroidPit, Android 5....

As Intego notes, the Java for OS X 2012-002 update appears to be same as the one Apple issued earlier this week, but the latest update is aimed only at Max OS X Lion users. It’s possible, Intego says, that Apple found a glitch in the first update that would make a new release necessary. The update “delivers improved compatibility, security and reliability by updating Java SE 6 to Java 1....

During the launch yesterday, Jobs called netbooks ‘cheap laptops’ that tried but failed to create a third category between smartphones and laptops. “The problem is that netbooks aren’t better than anything,” Jobs said. Au contraire, said commentators, who called the iPad nothing more than an overgrown iPod Touch. Others suggested Apple should have launched an iNetbook instead. ABI Research analyst Jeff Orr said the iPad is no sure thing. “Several functions – front-facing and still/video cameras, external storage interfaces, support for Flash in the browser – are absent,” he wrote in a research note....

The film is out in UK cinemas from 12 December, though the US has to wait an extra week or so until 21 December for its chance to watch. UK readers can pre-order tickets now from Cineworld, Vue, or Odeon, while in the US it’s easier to check out Fandango or Atom Tickets. Check out our guide to the film’s post-credit scenes to find out if it’s worth sticking around at the end or not too....

However, to take advantage of the faster and more reliable speeds the Wi-Fi 6 standard offers you, you’re going to need a Wi-Fi 6 router. While these devices haven’t always been the easiest on the wallet, that starting to change. The Asus RX-AX55 is one of the cheapest Wi-Fi 6 routers available right now. In addition to being a standalone device, this router can be set up to work as the main node in a mesh system, so you can add more devices if you don’t quite have the budget to stretch to a fully-fledged mesh Wi-Fi network system just yet....

Asus has solved these issues entirely in this new model, resulting in a laptop that feels muchbetter-made.

Asus ZenBook Flip S UX370UA: Price The Asus ZenBook Flip S starts at £1299. That gets you the version with a Core i5 CPU, 512GB SSD and 8GB RAM....

The ATH-WS99 is a new addition to the company’s extensive line of over 70 listed models of headphones, earphones and headsets. It’s a large-driver design, styled in black plastic with polished metal details. See all audio reviews. The headphones are described as acoustically sealed, said to minimise bass sound leakage, although they’re not really a closed-back design – some midrange energy did leak out of the ‘double air chamber system’, making them less suitable as a headphone to use on public transport....

The Audiomax HB-8A Bluetooth Headphones caught our eye with their elegant design. Following the ‘less is better’ fashion trend, these Audiomax Headphones adopt a minimalistic style and yet nothing is left to chance – all the details have been carefully considered. The headband meets the ear pieces with two rectangular aluminium surfaces that feel smooth to the touch and have shiny contour lines.

There’s still a while to wait of course, as Cyber Monday doesn’t start until 27 November 2023, following just a few days after Black Friday on 24 November. Deals start even earlier, often running throughout November, and there’s a chance the John Lewis sale will continue past Cyber Monday and through the rest of what retailers now call ‘Cyber Week’. John Lewis may have dropped its ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’ promise – and with it the commitment to price-matching competitors – but it still always offers some top discounts for Cyber Monday, and we’re here to make sure the deals it offers are genuine savings....

Boasting a design that echoes the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S9, the 8 Sirocco has a curved glass screen and an 18:9 display, along with wireless charging, waterproofing, and a dual lens camera. You can get the full specs at our Nokia 8 Sirocco hub, or check out our hands-on review from MWC 2018 to find out what we thought about the phone when we got the chance to try it out ourselves....

Each year we give out Top Picks awards to noteworthy devices across any category and from any manufacture. In no particular order, here’s what caught our eye at CES 2018. Razer Project Linda Lapdocks are stupid and boring. Well that used to be the case but Razer has turned things around with Project Linda, an amazingly specced dummy laptop that’s powered by the firm’s new smartphone. It slots in to become a trackpad and second screen while a cut-out means you can still use the fingerprint scanner....

The likes of God of War and Spider-Man aren’t playable anywhere else, making the PS4 a must-own if you want to give them a go.

With the PS5 nearly upon us, now’s the perfect time to catch up on the best games of this generation that you might have missed – though don’t worry, quite a few of the biggest next-gen games will still come to the PS4 for the next year or so, meaning there’s still more good stuff on the way....

A TV is one of the most popular gadgets for bargain hunters to bag when Black Friday comes around. Black Friday takes place on 24 November 2023 (the day after Thanksgiving) and while waiting for the big day itself might get you the best deal, it’s not guaranteed. This is because these days Black Friday sales typically take up the whole of November and in 2022 we even saw TVs on offer at the end of October branded as Black Friday deals....
