It’s not a race all smartphone makers are bothered about, but Samsung may have won it. The Galaxy A8s has a front facing camera that’s completely surrounded by the screen. This is the evolution of the notch. When is the Galaxy A8s release date? The phone can be pre-ordered in China until 21 December, then we assume it will start shipping after that date. We’ll update you on a launch outside China if we hear any news....
See also: The best Android phones of 2015 Galaxy Note Edge vs iPhone 6 Plus: Design and build The most noticeable feature of the Galaxy Note Edge has to be its curved edge display, much like the recently released Galaxy S6 Edge. It’s an interesting feature that no other company has replicated, and definitely helps the Note Edge stand out in the crowd. The Note Edge has been given a premium feel, with the Samsung signature combination of metal detailing and a leather back and is available in two colours, frost white or charcoal black....
With that in mind, now is a great time to buy a new HP laptop in the UK. The company’s spring sale has discounts on many of its leading devices, including the Envy x360 convertible. An Intel Core i5 model with 8GB of RAM and a large 512GB SSD is now down to just £799.99 – that’s a £199 saving on the usual asking price. Get this Envy x360 deal on the HP website now If saving almost 20% on the RRP wasn’t enough, HP is also offering free 12-month subscriptions to some of the leading Adobe Creative Cloud apps....

That’s what Schenker Technologies offers in Germany, with a local office to serve your needs in the UK. And more specifically for gamers’ needs, there’s the company’s sub-brand XMG, geared for gaming....
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most hotly anticipated games right now, following an initial reveal way back in 2012, with recent gameplay videos getting fans excited about what CDPR has in store when the game’s finally released later this year. Set in the fictional Night City in the year 2077, the game is set to provide gamers with an unparalleled role-playing experience focused on forging your own path and doing things your own way....
Here’s how to set a limit to the amount of data your Android phone or tablet can use each month. This could save you money! (See all of our Android tutorials.) An Android smartphone or tablet is a great way to access the web and web-enabled services on the move. But such apps and websites can drain your mobile data usage, leaving you with a hefty bill at the end of the month....
The Sony W8 – tested here in its 50-inch KDL-50W829 guise but also available as the 42-inch KDL-42W829 and 55-inch KDL-55W829 – is not a high-end proposition. At £900, it sits just above Sony’s lookalike W7 models (available in 50-, 42- and 32-inch screen sizes) and below the fancy wedge-designed W85 and W95 models. The design is suitably minimalistic. A slim black metallic bezel barely seems wide enough to contain the image, while a thin mirrored stand bucks the trend for inelegantly wide feet; it certainly won’t dwarf your AV furniture....
If you’re keen on the silver colour then getting them at Currys with that 10% off discount voucher means a cool price of £224, the lowest price we’ve ever seen for these headphones from UK retailers. Buying from Currys also has another big lure, and that’s six months of Spotify Premium for free. The only caveat is that it’s available for new Premium accounts only. There might be plenty of leaks and rumours about the upcoming WH-1000XM4 but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get Sony’s current flagship over-ear headphones now....
Sony hasn’t been a market leader in the smartphone world for a little while now, but it has delivered some very solid mid-range devices. With more competition at the price point than ever before though, can the XA2 compete? Find out in our review. Sony Xperia XA2 price and availability The XA2 is priced fairly competitively, costing £299 in the UK, and $349 in the US. That sounds good until you compare it to the Xperia XA1, which cost just £229/$299 at launch, making the newer model a fair bit more expensive....
Just six months after the Sony Xperia Z2 went on sale Sony has unveiled the Xperia Z3 smartphone at IFA 2014. Here we reveal all there is to know about Sony’s flagship smartphone, including UK release date, price and specs. Also see: How to watch Sony Xperia Z3 launch live: live blog and video stream and read our Sony Xperia Z3 hands-on review. Here is the brand-new Sony Xperia Z3 family – the Sony Xperia Z3 with the smaller Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact:...
Syllable says the batteries last for six hours, but the clever part is that they come with their own recharging station that doubles as a case. Charge up the case’s internal battery using a microUSB cable for around three hours and there’s enough power to recharge the headphones six times. The headphones come with (larger) black silicone tips and (smaller) white tips. We found the black tips were the best fit and the hooks help to keep the buds in place without falling out, after you’ve given the buds a small twist towards the front....
Neither can match the Synology’s build however. The design could be fairly described as classy with a much more solid feel than most of the other NAS units we’ve looked at. At the front there’s a power button Status and LAN lights and a light to show the presence of activity on the two disks. A curved plastic cover hides the two drive bays. As far installation is concerned we liked the tool-less set up....
TCL 55DP648: Price & Where to buy Although the 55DP648 has an RRP of £599 it’s one of those ones where it’s not really been on sale at that price. That’s an impressive price point for a large size TV with a 4K resolution and HDR support and puts it in competition with sets like the Hisense U7A and to some extent, the Philips 6703. TCL 55DP648: Design & Features These days you don’t need to splash out on a TV to get stylish design....
This year the Tech Advisor team decided to do things a little differently. We’ve still grabbed some hands-on time with the products you want to read about, including the brand-new Sony Xperia XZ, Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, Moto Z Play, Qualcomm VR and Acer Swift 7, but this year we set aside some time to talk to PRs and to really appreciate the show as a whole and the products on display....
The Cinema membership offers just what it sounds like – the best movies Sky Cinema has to offer – and we’ve done our best to pick our favourites here. In case you didn’t know, the Now Cinema membership costs £9.99 per month, and it’s worth pointing out that it’s separate from the TV membership, so you only get access to the films, which means it is pretty expensive if you want access to both....
Sí, como lo oyes. Ya puedes saber cómo continúa la historia de Gilead, el Estados Unidos distópico en el que viven sus protagonistas: las criadas fértiles obligadas a tener hijos, y los comandantes y sus familias. Aunque la primera temporada estuvo basada en la novela homónima de Margaret Atwood, la segunda, la tercera y la cuarta tuvieron que tomarse bastantes licencias. Esto mismo ocurrirá con la quinta, pues la serie va más allá de lo explicado en el libro....
Toshiba Canvio Connect II 3TB review: Price You also get a choice of colours: red, white, gold, black or blue. Toshiba Canvio Connect II 3TB review: Features and design There’s little you can do with a 2.5in hard disk in terms of design, but the Canvio isn’t ugly. The glossy plastic casing has a slightly domed top and an activity LED in the corner. On one end is a microUSB 3....
Prices for the C50 range start at just £229 for a model with a Celeron processor, but even this top-of-the-range C50-B-IIL comes in at just under £350 with an i3 processor running at 1.8GHz, 4GB memory and 750GB hard disk. That’s a decent specification for a laptop in this price range, even if the Ivy Bridge i3 doesn’t have a turboboost option to enhance performance. Its score of 2160 points in the general-purpose PCMark 7 isn’t bad at all for an i3 that is only backed-up by a 5400rpm hard drive....
It makes a good impression straight away, as the brushed metal casing of the M50 measures just 21.3 mm thick, and the laptop weighs 2.2 kg. That’s slimmer and lighter than most 15-inch laptops, and you can pick it up with one hand or carry it around in a backpack without too much trouble. Take a look at the Best laptops. The build quality is good too, with a firm, comfortable keyboard and trackpad, and the M50 certainly doesn’t look or feel like a budget laptop....
Thankfully, the TP-Link Deco P9 has impressive tech under the hood that should help negate the issue, providing a solid, reliable wireless connection throughout the home. It’s a tall drink of water The Deco P9 comes in a pack of two or three, and each unit is identical – there isn’t a ‘main’ unit and other points like some mesh Wi-Fi systems. The cylindrical P9 units themselves are largely nondescript, although we must admit they’re a lot taller than the likes of the Google Nest Wi-Fi and Tenda MW6....
