Numerous A73-related leaks emerged in the run-up to this latest A-series launch event, making the fact that the A73 wasn’t part of proceedings a rather surprising turn; especially considering the high-profile launches that its predecessors have enjoyed. Samsung has since confirmed the presence of the A73 and availability details have started to emerge too. Here’s all that we know about the Samsung Galaxy A73. When will the Samsung Galaxy A73 be released?...

When many people consider the concept of a smartwatch, they think of it as a tiny smartphone that you wear on your arm. That’s not entirely true. While the Galaxy Gear does indeed let you conduct telephone calls and use its S Voice voice assistant to send text messages, it can handle few of the internet-connected tasks for which we routinely use our smartphones. You can’t browse the web and, although you can download apps, software designed for the Galaxy Gear is limited both in number and functionality....

Until now that is. Alongside the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy Watch, in August Samsung revealed the Samsung Galaxy Home, a Bixby smart speaker that aims to bring the company’s virtual assistant into your living room. However, it never said when it was coming out… When is the Galaxy Home release date? While Samsung announced the Galaxy Home in August 2018, it didn’t include any details about the smart speaker’s release date....

Although Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S5 mini, the firm is launching it first in Russia to be followed by a global release. This means we don’t yet know when it will arrive in the UK but it should be within a couple of months. For now we can speculate on price and compare the specs of the two Galaxy smartphones. Also see: Samsung Galaxy S5 mini review. If you’re looking for a higher-spec version of the S5 there’s also the Galaxy S5 Prime, and for a rugged version check out the S5 Active....

Since the Xperia Z3 is last year’s flagship smartphone, it’s a little unfair to compare these two handsets but they will have to compete in the market until its successor comes along so we’re fine with it really. We will, of course, compare the two 2015 flagships from Samsung and Sony when the Xperia Z4 launches. Read next: Best new smartphones coming in 2015.

The server failure caused connectivity problems for a ‘few hours’, said Jeanne Russo, a Comcast spokeswoman. By late yesterday, the broadband provider had rerouted traffic to other servers, she said. An undetermined number of Google users who subscribe to Comcast’s broadband service “experienced problems accessing Google and other services for a short period of time”, a Google spokesman said via email. “Google engineers helped troubleshoot the problem and provided diagnostic information to the ISP....

The first thing to note about the PlayStation TV is just how small the thing is – much more compact than your average media streaming box like a Roku or Apple TV. It’s incredibly thin and has a footprint smaller than most smartphones. Somehow Sony has packed all the necessary tech inside the little black box with enough room for a few ports at the back – HDMI, Ethernet, USB and Sony’s proprietary Vita memory card slot....

Sony faces tough competition in the smartphone market and the unique selling point of the Premium is something which it helps will differentiate it from rivals such as Apple and Samsung.

Let’s start with the design. The SoundPeats A1 look fairly professional. A sober design is combined with materials that feel sophisticated to the touch.

The overall experience is of pleasure and comfort. The outer side of the earpieces is made with rubberised plastic that feel smooth to the touch....

Is Tapplock One secure? The company makes great claims about the security of its padlock, but shortly after its release security researchers have managed to get past its defences. Not only have they found it is possible to snip through its supposedly super-tough zinc-alloy case with a pair of bolt cutters, but in publishing a report for Pen Test Partners Andrew Tierney has discovered that the Tapplock One openly broadcasts its Bluetooth Mac address....

Iron Man 3 director Shane Black called the shots on this sequel that brings the action into American suburbia and hopes to prove that the universe’s greatest hunters have more than one great film in them. Here’s everything you need to know about The Predator. When is The Predator out on Blu-ray and digital?

The smartwatch comes with both a black silicone and a leather strap in the box, the latter in the colour of the watch you pick, to cover you for when you’re at the gym or a fancy dinner. The watch itself packs in most of the features you’d expect and want for the price, including a heart rate sensor, IP68 waterproofing, GPS and NFC for payments. It’s worth pointing out that the C2+ uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, an older processor that’s been surpassed by the superior 3100 used in watches like the Fossil Sport....

Design and appearance Weighs 25.2lbsMeasures 26.8in x 12.2in x 12.2inAttention-grabbing design The purifier is white and column-shaped, 26.8 inches high and 12.2 inches deep and wide. It’s on wheels, so it’s easy to roll around but as it’s reasonably heavy (25.2lbs), you won’t want to be moving it up and down the stairs too often. The clean air vents from the top and there are two big (10×17 inches) intake grills, one on either side of the appliance that pull in large amounts of air from different directions....

How much does Total AV Pro 2018 cost? On the surface, Total AV Pro 2018 looks like a middle-of-the-road antivirus product with a fairly modest feature set. At £39.95/US$39.95 for 3 users for a year, this isn’t an expensive product and compares well with the other products we’ve tested in our best antivirus round-up. By the look of the facilities on the user interface, the price is appropriate. However, there are interesting hidden depths and future developments to note as we explore in throughout this review....

TP-Link claims 300Mbps speeds for that second Wi-Fi signal and 500Mbps for its extension of your ethernet on the network. Like all other Powerline manufacturers it is claiming theoretical maximum speeds here, and you can safely ignore them and rely instead on our real-world tests. The two adapters in this starter kit are quite different. The smaller base unit adapter is one of the smallest we’ve seen. This is the one you plug into a power socket near your router and connect to the router with one of the two supplied Ethernet cables....

That means we’re focusing on a Galaxy Unpacked deep dive on the show, starting with the Galaxy S22 series. There are three phones this time around, but really it’s all about the Ultra, the souped up flagship that looks more like a Note phone than anything else in the S22 series, with a rounded body and space for an S Pen stylus to slot inside. The regular S22 and S22+ are no slouches though....
