The firm, owned by Lenovo, has thankfully gone back to utilising the well-known branding and with the new models aims to “offer several upgrades to the things you care about the most.” Read next: Best smartphones of 2017 Motorola Moto G5S and G5S Plus Release date and price Despite being available ‘from early August’ so right about now, there’s no specific release date for the G5S phones. You can register for updates on the official website and John Lewis will also stock the devices....

Motorola used to dominate the budget market, but the Moto G series got more expensive over time until the Moto E range took over as the truly cheap option. Now the Moto G6 range has arrived, the lines are blurred but the G6 offers a lot of phone for the money. Price At £219, the Moto G6 is a little over our £200 cut-off for budget phones but it’s so close that you should definitely consider it if you’re budget stretches....

If you hate headphone cables flapping around your head while you’re out jogging or exercising then a set of lightweight in-ear Bluetooth headphones might be the answer to your running prayers. We’ve tested a wide range of Bluetooth headphones, but only the Mpow Petrel Bluetooth Headset so far fit the needs of the frustrated runner. See also: Best Headphones 2015. These lightweight (11.4g, 0.4 ounce) in-ear buds require no cable between them and your music player or phone, as they receive the music from the player via Bluetooth....

It’s a bit of a patchwork of hits and misses, though, and we’d advise getting a slightly higher-end spec than we’re reviewing if you can afford it as it will really pay dividends for discerning gamers. This one can only handle recent demanding games at bottom-rung settings and its lack of SSD storage means our MSI GL62 lacks the zippiness of some otherwise less powerful laptops at the price. More on that later....

Included in this range is a brand-new device in the form of the Creator Z16. This high-end 16in laptop is targeted squarely at creators, as MSI continues to expand its non-gaming portfolio. The Tiger Lake-H chips (up to Core i9-11900H here) might primarily focus on gaming, but the performance gains can be equally beneficial for content creation. To help enable this, the Creator Z16 pairs Intel’s new chips with a GeForce RTX 3080 GPU....

Fairly recently Netatmo was bought by another French company, Legrand, and has launched an updated version of its thermostat called the Smart Modulating Thermostat. It all sounds a bit serious, but essentially what it means is that it now supports OpenTherm boilers. Put simply, OpenTherm means a boiler can precisely adjust the temperature of your home’s heating by changing its burner’s power. And this, in the long run, saves energy which also saves you money....

As with many online streaming services, Netflix offered a free trial to let you use the service in the hope that you’d love it and keep paying. The company required credit card details to use the free trial and would automatically charge you for the next month after the 30-day period. It’s not clear why the UK has been picked to end the free trial incentive. Maybe Brits were too canny at signing up every month for the free trial with a different email address and then cancelling before the first payment....

What will the new regulations achieve? There will be tighter regulation over how much electricity an appliance can consume, which will keep consumer bills under control. It’s estimated that this could help people to save up to £75 per year on their electricity bills. The measure is also aimed at reducing the UK’s carbon emissions to meet environmental targets. There will also be a legal right to repairs as, for the first time, manufacturers will be required to make spare parts available so that appliances and electrical goods can be fixed instead of replaced....

Nexus 6 vs HTC One M8 comparison: UK price and availability The Nexus 6 is now available to pre-order in the UK, and in principle at least is available to buy right now. (We say that because it is not currently easy to get hold of one, from Google Play.) UK pricing is at least confirmed: the 32GB model costs £499, and the 64GB model will cost £549. O2 and Vodafone have already confirmed that they will offer the Nexus 6, but not confirmed their pricing....

The Nikon D3300 is based on a 24.2 megapixel sensor (4800 x 1080 pixels), adding an 18 to 55mm kit lens that behaves like 27 to 82.5mm glass on a full frame camera. Clearly inspired by the collapsible lens of its 1-series compact system cameras, Nikon’s engineers have made this lens smaller than its predecessor, courtesy of a clever locking button, to compliment the compact body of the D3300 itself....

The first of these, known as the PureBook Pro, will be unveiled at MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona ahead of release later in 2022. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen laptops use the Nokia branding, but availability has always been extremely limited. Chinese company Tongfang Ltd acquired a similar licence in 2020, but its devices remain exclusive to Indian retailer Flipkart. Off Global’s agreement marks Nokia laptops’ debut in global markets, aside from the short-lived Booklet 3G in 2009....

But take a second look at the Lumia 520 and the picture is considerably more nuanced. This handset retails SIM from for £100 or less. Today I could buy it for £85, in fact. Windows Phone 8 is mature now. A simple and bright interface offering access to all the things most people want in a smartphone: email, Facebook, messaging, Twitter, camera, web browsing… and making calls. That plastic look and construction may lack the pizzazz of some high-end devices, but it is also tough....

The TITAN RTX will be available in late December but we don’t have a concrete date yet. The Titan series of GPUs are traditionally not considered consumer level cards due to their extremely high price tag, but they do usually help to provide a sign of things to come. This particular model will retail for $2,499 which will be a big ask for a Christmas present. You can check out the full specs for the Titan RTX on Nvidia’s website....

Here’s all you need to know about the Shield Experience 7.0 update, including when it’ll be released, what new features you should expect and a handful of tips to help navigate the new user interface. When will Shield TV get the Shield Experience 7.0 update? Following a lot of hard work from the Nvidia team, the Android TV 8.0 Oreo update is set to be available in the form of Shield Experience 7....

The process of recovering data is very straightforward, as the program runs as a wizard, asking step-by-step questions, before performing analysis of files from the selected drive. Once you’ve selected a logical drive to look at, the software runs an automatic three-part scan, looking for deleted data. We examined a 60 GB partition on a test Windows PC and the software found 391,954 files in 61,120 folders. It took 35 minutes to do this, although of course speed will depend on the number of files the scan locates on a particular drive, and the speed of your drive....

La buena noticia es que coincidiendo con la celebración de Prime Day, la compañía anuncia rebajas interesantes en sus gamas de productos, como es el caso de los productos de la submarca Ring para los que está ofreciendo actualmente grandes descuentos. El otro modelo más barato para establecer una cámara de videovigilancia en el hogar, la Ring Video Doorbell con calidad de video 1080p, se encuentra rebajada un 7 % con respecto a su precio habitual, de manera que puedes adquirirla por 69,99 €....

Right on cue six months after the OnePlus 5T, the OnePlus 6 is an iterative update, notably thanks to the inclusion of a notch at the top of the display and a glass finish that is different on three different colour options. Playing it safe with tagline ‘The Speed You Need’, OnePlus is concentrating on something it has never struggled with in the speed of its devices. The OnePlus 6 doesn’t at first appear to move the smartphone needle thanks to its passing resemblance to the LG G7 ThinQ and Huawei P20 Pro....

Don’t get us wrong, there’s a place for those expensive uber-brushes, and they tend to be what tops our best electric toothbrush ranking, but most people looking for an electric toothbrush want something that costs less than £100/$100 and just, well, brushes your teeth well. Meet the Oral-B Pro 2 2000. Oral-B Pro 2 2000 price & availability It’s worth noting that there are a few slightly different versions of the Pro 2 2000 on the market, and it can be a little confusing, but the main differences are only which brush head is included in the box....

It comes with a high-end Intel 8th-gen ‘Coffee Lake’ processor, coupled with an Nvidia GTX 1070 installed in an Asus Gaming motherboard and is capable of delivering Ultra-quality gaming at 60fps in 1080p and beyond, so it’s ideal for playing today’s demanding AAA games. PC Specialist Vanquish Goliath: Price You can buy the Vanquish Goliath from eBuyer for £1479.88, which also includes delivery. As an eBuyer special, the Vanquish Goliath – which doesn’t appear on PC Specialist’s website – is pre-configured and ready to ship....

Becks is appearing as a modern version of himself after a trailer that recreated some of his most famous footballing moments. This boost is sorely needed after Konami lost its decade-long UEFA rights to use the Champions League branding in PES – losing it to EA’s FIFA 19. PES suffers from its lack of other licensing rights, and therefore has few real team names and recognisable player likenesses, but its gameplay is often superb....
