Apple is now up to iOS 11, and there’s nothing radically different or new to woo Android users. But it’s the same story at Google: a raft of small changes makes Android Oreo 8.0 nicer and easier to use. It is worth stating at the outset that not all Android phones will have all of the features we mention here. Many phone makers love to customise Android with their own ‘overlays’ and this can mean that their own notification design, say, overrides what Android would otherwise do in its native form....

One important selling point that can be easily overlooked is how their security compares to Windows or macOS machines. For some, the thought of a device that’s reliant on the internet and stores the majority of its data in the cloud leaves them cold. But, there’s a strong case to be made that Google’s ChromeOS has many advantages over it’s Microsoft and Apple rivals. So, which is the safest laptop to use?...

You simply don’t get that sort of functionality on the majority of laptops, where the component parts are often locked way and inaccessible to most consumers. When laptop performance slows significantly or you’re running extremely low on storage space, it’s common practice to upgrade to a device which better suits your needs. But what if you didn’t have to compromise on portability in order to get the benefits of upgradability?...

We’re going to put together a list of the best budget motherboards. They may not have all the features of their higher priced bigger brothers but they’re solid and dependable components that will serve you well. We’re going to define ‘budget’ as under £100 here, recommending boards that can house the latest and greatest processors without compromising on build quality and reliability. If you’re unsure about weather to go with AMD or Intel have a look at our breakdown here....

Activision’s latest first-person shooter is regarded by many as the last-chance saloon for the franchise, following a long line of disappointing releases in recent years. But rather than go off into the night, Call of Duty has pulled off the impossible and successfully rebooted the biggest individual brand of the series. Modern Warfare takes things back to basics, ditching the futuristic and historic themes for something set in the modern-day....

We’ve reviewed and ranked lots of different models for you to choose from at a range of different prices, sizes and specs. Including brands like Asus, Alienware, Razer, HP, Lenovo and more. In 2022, laptops are arriving with specs such as 12th-gen Intel processors, Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 graphics cards, or the latest AMD Ryzen 6000 series. We’re always testing and adding new models so keep an eye out for new entries....

Although Gmail has plenty of benefits, there are alternatives that you might want to consider if privacy is a priority. It’s no secret that Google scans its users’ email and uses the contents to serve up ads which may – or may not – be relevant to you. That doesn’t mean Google employees are reading your email: algorithms do this work without human intervention. But you could ditch Gmail and opt for an end-to-end encrypted service which puts your privacy first....

The problem is, there are plenty of cases available for the iPhone SE focusing on different aspects of protection. Do you go for a drop-proof case and sacrifice bulk, or do you go for something more fashionable? And what about materials? We at Tech Advisor look to make that decision easier with our recommendations of the best iPhone SE cases for both the iPhone SE (2020) and the newer iPhone SE (2022)....

All four are included in our best eReader chart, with the Paperwhite and regular model currently occupying the top two spots. However, rolling without a case for these devices can be a risk, particularly on some of the more slimline models. If you’re planning on travelling, a cover of some sort is a must to stop unnecessary damage while on-the-go. The Kids Edition already comes with a cover, although it’s also identical in size to the regular model....

Motorola – nowadays owned by Lenovo – focuses on a consistent design ethic, has software close to stock Android and, often, offers incredible value for money. The Moto G series is a consistently-excellent choice for those looking for a genuinely excellent budget phone. But Moto also makes the more expensive Edge line to cater to bigger budgets, including the fresh-faced Edge 20 series and that’s before we mention the return of the Razr....

Still, replacing every appliance you own with a smart version could quickly get very expensive, so it makes sense to pick up smart tech at smart prices. Best smart home deals right now What is a smart home? A smart house is a connected house. Its devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and can be controlled remotely via a smartphone or smart speaker with voice-command. Connected devices can range from TVs, thermostats, security cameras, to even kettles and toothbrushes....

The top phone on this rundown won’t be the ideal phone for everybody so make sure to check out all ten. The best phone for you is out there, depending on what you value most – camera, battery life, design, specs, price, and more to boot come into play. Samsung and Apple feature of course, but looking further afield to Android competitors such as OnePlus, Google, Oppo, and Xiaomi could mean you find your ideal pocket partner....

For the most part, Burial At Sea Episode 2 is set in Rapture, the underwater, Big Daddy-inhabited fallen utopia from the original BioShock, but it intertwines with BioShock Infinite’s similarly corrupted city in the sky, Columbia. In a change of pace for both games, you don’t play as a brawny man with a gun, but rather former supporting character Elizabeth, who despite having the option of guns is more suited to stealth....

But the phones have midrange specs and quite high prices and TCL is acknowledging this with the release of the BlackBerry Key2 LE – light edition. Coming in at quite a lot less than the flagship Key2, the LE looks quite similar but has a fair few differences. We went hands-on with the new phone at IFA 2018, and these are our first impressions. Where to buy the BlackBerry Key2 LE The BlackBerry Key2 LE is well priced and starts at £349 / $399 for 32GB storage and 4GB RAM....

The specification is competitive, given the low price, with a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek processor, 1GB of RAM and dual-core Mali-T760 graphics inside. It’s considerably faster than the similarly priced Moto E 4G, but there are several reasons – including its size – that might lead you to prefer that phone. As well as 4G LTE support and dual-SIM functionality – with one SIM tray doubling as a microSD slot – you get a 5....

Expectations, quite naturally, were extremely high. That plays in part in why the (part)finished product feels underwhelming, but not quite so big as part as do the lacklustre puzzles and a script that’s surprisingly short on big laughs. While the essential, ancient formula of using weird objects on other weird objects or weirder people in order to progress to new areas remains, Broken Age does seem a little unsure about what to be....

Here’s everything we know so far about Burnout Paradise Remastered, including the release date, platforms, pre-order details and what’s new in the remaster when compared to the 2008 original. When will Burnout Paradise Remastered be released? Following the initial announcement of EA’s first remaster in February 2018, the company confirmed that Burnout Paradise Remastered will be available to users around the world on 16 March 2018. That’s not too far away!...

Price, availability, and competition Previous Chromecast models have always been reasonably cheap in comparison to the bigger set-top box devices. In fact you can still buy the Chromecast 2 for £30 from Argos. With the release of the Chromecast Ultra Google has raised the price tag to £69. This still compares very well to the Apple TV which used to come in two variants – 32GB (£139) and 64GB (£179) – but now comes in just the former with a higher price of £149....
