With the also excellent Google Home Mini on sale that makes Mobvoi’s TicHome Mini an even odder proposition – it is the price of two Home Minis. It adds waterproofing, a more durable body, a hook and a rechargeable battery to tempt you. When it works, it makes a lot of sense. Having a Google Assistant device in the shower or simply being able to move it wirelessly room to room is quite freeing if you regularly use it....
It’s worth noting that Total War: Warhammer 2 is set in the original Warhammer fantasy setting, and not the arguably better known sci-fi world of Warhammer 40,000. If you’d like to play a strategy game set in that universe, your best bet is the excellent Dawn of War 3. When is Total War: Warhammer 2’s release date? What platforms will it come out on? What are the best deals? If you want to buy Total War: Warhammer II, the best time is right now – the reason why is a little complicated, and relates to the devs’ plan to build the series up into one giant game that connects seamlessly....
As well as offering the usual benefits of Wi-Fi 6 home networking gear – faster and more reliable wireless connections, lower latency – the Archer AX50 supports HE160 technology, meaning phones, laptops, and tablets which can support 160MHz bandwidth can expect maximum speeds of 2.4Gbps. Whether you’ll get that in every room in the house is another thing… There are some other refinements here too, like built-in TrendMicro-powered security software and performance tweaks allowing for more devices to connect to the router simultaneously....
Despite coming in around £200, only a slightly chunky chassis gives away the fact this budget phone is anything other than a premium device. There’s an 18:9 display with super-slim bezels, a dual-camera, a capacious 5100mAh battery, and a massive 128GB of storage. Is this phone too good to be true? UMIDIGI S2 Pro Price & Availability Do remember, though, that this phone ships from Hong Kong. If customs pick it up they will demand 20 percent of the value on the shipping paperwork in import duty, so be sure to factor this into your budget....
GoodSpeed review: what it is The GoodSpeed from Uros is a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot with a difference. It allows you to connect up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices, and works in up to nine countries at any one time. This flexibility is achieved via 10 SIM card slots, to be populated by your own SIMs, or international cards purchased for your account from Uros. And Uros itself supports data networks in 57 countries at the time of writing, including virtually all of Europe, the US and south America, India, Australia, China and more....
The X60 and X60 Pro were first unveiled in China back in December 2020, with the X60 Pro+ joining them a few weeks later. All three phones are now rolling out internationally, though for the time being only the X60 Pro is confirmed to come to Europe, with a launch planned for the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, and eastern Europe. All three X60 phones offer 6.56in, 120Hz AMOLED displays with 240Hz touch sampling rates, along with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and cameras designed in collaboration with Zeiss....
For now, we’re running down everything we know about Watch Dogs 3 so far, including our expectations and hopes for the game’s release date, setting, and gameplay. When is the Watch Dogs 3 release date? Ubisoft hasn’t even officially announced Watch Dogs 3 yet, so there’s certainly no release date yet. The first Watch Dogs came out in May 2014, while the second hit stores in November 2016, so they don’t really give us much of a hint as to when to expect the new one to arrive....
Let’s start with the basics, ‘ARC’ stands ‘audio return channel’ and relates specifically to a feature of some HDMI ports. In short, it means the port can send audio from your TV to another device like a soundbar. What is HDMI ARC for? HDMI ARC/eARC is useful if you have various things plugged into your TV – like a games console, streaming box or Blu-ray player – but you don’t want to use the (likely poor quality) speakers on your TV....
If your phone is sitting in a drawer somewhere, why not think about donating it today? You’ll save a little clutter and make someone else’s life a bit better. You could try Wateraid, for example. Alternatively, Three UK is running a Reconnected scheme that allows you to gift your old phone to a homeless person, an ex-soldier or victim of domestic abuse, thereby helping to socially reconnect them. They get free use of the phone for three months, and can then choose a plan that suits them....
IFA is one of the big technology trade shows on the calendar, alongside CES in January (Las Vegas) and MWC in March (Barcelona). It falls in September and this year the dates are 1-6, although press conferences take place prior to the show opening at Messe Berlin. As usual, we’ll have a team of Tech Advisor reporters over in Germany to bring you all the news and hands-on reviews of the new products but we before we pack our bags and jump on an early morning flight, we like to take a look at what might be unveiled....
With that logic in mind, will EA release Star Wars Battlefront 3 or Battlefield 6 in 2019? Or will it be something else entirely? Rumours suggest that EA could be about to shake up its release schedule – and multiplayer fans may not be happy about it. Let’s first take a look at EA’s yearly release schedule for the Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront series’. Since the launch of the first Star Wars Battlefront game in 2015, EA has alternated Battlefield and Battlefront releases on a yearly basis:...
These figures were published as part of Steam’s monthly Hardware & Software Survey, which anonymously collects data on the platforms its app is running on. With an estimated 120 monthly active users, it serves as a good estimate of market share, albeit one that’s limited to gaming fans. Until Microsoft decides to release official data, it’s a useful way to monitor Windows 11 uptake. However, Microsoft has indicated that Windows is used monthly on 1....
The ‘DirectStorage’ functionality was highlighted during the reveal of the new OS, but you won’t need to upgrade in order to benefit. Earlier suggestions from Microsoft that it would be a Windows 11 exclusive have since been denied by the company. The official Xbox press release following the 24 June event specifically mentioned that DirectStorage ‘will only be available with Windows 11’. However, a subsequent blog post on the DirectX Developer Blog confirmed that the SDK (software development kit) for the feature would be available to all Windows 10 PCs running version 1909 (May 2019) and later....
But Microsoft’s attitude seemed to change during the pandemic, which left people around the world relying on its software for everything from remote working to keeping in touch with friends and family. Some of these new trends appear to be permanent, so the company decided it was time for a fresh start. Windows 11 represents a big shift in design, aiming to simplify the user experience and reduce clutter. Many elements are inspired by Windows 10X, the cancelled Windows 10 spin-off designed for touchscreen devices....
Also see: Best Black Friday Fitness Tracker Deals Our review sample came from Mobile Fun, which charges just £28.99 for the Mi Band. That makes it a good £10 cheaper than the JawboneUp Move (£20 if you take into account the Move’s optional wrist strap), and significantly cheaper than its Fitbit rivals. (See all fitness band reviews.) But it’s not just the price that makes the Mi Band a better choice than the JawboneUp Move....
Price and availability The Huawei P20 and P20 Pro are available to buy now, while the Mi Mix 2S is up for pre-order (and ships from China, which adds to the delivery time). GearBest is offering presales up to 14 June, but expecting to ship the Mi Mix 2S between 17- and 29 May. The Mi Mix 2S is the cheaper of the two, with the 64GB storage, 6GB RAM model we tested currently available for £389....
Lo cierto es que me pareció un producto bastante innovador. Es cierto que existen bastantes relojes inteligentes en el mercado que prometen medir tu tensión arterial, sin embargo, todavía no había visto ningún reloj que incorporara un manguito microinflable incorporado que se asemeja al tensiómetro que utilizan en hospitales para medir la presión. Vinieron a mi mente varias personas que por su condición de salud necesitan medirse la presión arterial con una frecuencia diaria: ¿podría este nuevo smartwatch hacer su vida más fácil?...

If you’re upgrading your PC you can spend hours deciding which are the best components to use. We make that decision a little easier by discussing the differences between the Z97 Express and Z87 Express chipset motherboards. A reader wrote into Helproom with the following question: “I’m upgrading my PC and I’m in the market for a new motherboard. Should I go for one of the new Z97 boards or try to save a little money and stick with the previous generation Z87?...
Here’s our selection of the best books that explore how technology has changed our lives and what to expect in the years ahead. People vs Tech by Jamie Bartlett The subtitle of this book reads ‘How the internet is killing democracy (and how we save it)’ which gives you a good idea of what it’s all about. Jamie Bartlett explores the way that micro-targeted election campaigns, advertising, and invasive use of data gathering by large tech companies poses a threat for civil society....
