Rock Jaw Resonate review: Price Some may think £125 is a lot to spend on a pair of headphones, but in the grand scheme of things, it really isn’t. In fact, you can easily spend more than double this, but as with a lot of things, it’s a case of diminishing returns. And at £125 from Rockjaw, the Resonate is actually very competitively priced. Rock Jaw Resonate review: Features and design The Resonate is in a completely different league to the Alfa Genus, and you’d expect that at almost three times the price....
When will Rocket League be released on Nintendo Switch? Rocket League for Switch release date: 14 November 2017 During Nintendo’s rather short Rocket League E3 2017 trailer (which can be seen at the top of this article), the company announced that Rocket League should make its way to the Nintendo Switch at the end of 2017, or by ‘Holiday 2017’ as it was stated in the trailer. It has since confirmed that the exact release date will be 14 November....

Chinese manufacturers are well known for creating smartphones with specs to rival industry-leading flagships at much lower cost, but would the end user really notice the difference? We compare the Honor 6 (made by Huawei) and Samsung’s Galaxy S5 spec for spec to find out whether that extra money is money well spent. Here’s our Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Honor 6 comparison review.

Back in September at IFA 2017, Samsung launched the Gear Sport alongside some other new wearable tech. They are the Gear Fit2 Pro, a GPS fitness band, and the IconX wireless earbuds. The Gear Sport is more like a new version of the Gear S2 rather than a replacement for the Gear S3. Price Black Friday deal: The Gear Sport is on offer at £159 from Samsung, that’s a sizable discount....
Italia sigue siendo uno de los países con más tradición futbolera y eso lo demuestra el talento de las jugadoras. Quizás esté por detrás de otras ligas como la española, la alemana, la francesa o la inglesa, pero la Juventus hizo un buen papel en la última Champions, llegando a los cuartos. Ahora sí, está a punto de empezar una nueva temporada y querrás saberlo todo para poder disfrutar de todos los partidos desde casa....
But was it a good idea to remaster Shadow of the Colossus, or should it have been left in the shadows of PlayStation history? I’ve spent some time battling Colossi as a first-time player, and here’s my Shadow of the Colossus review. Pricing and availability Shadow of the Colossus review First up, Shadow of the Colossus looks incredible. It gives long-time fans of the game a chance to really appreciate the detail of the vast open world and the 16 Colossi you go up against, in dynamic 4K resolution (when running on the PS4 Pro, anyway)....
We’ll explain the benefits and the differences between the various systems on offer from Apple, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Nokia and why you might not need a dual camera at all. The zoom lens On Apple’s ‘Plus’ models, the second camera has a telephoto lens. This lets you zoom in and get a close-up but, unlike simply cropping a standard photo, you get a lot more detail. That’s because the lens on that second camera has a lens that’s twice the focal length of the main camera....

The M20 comes in seven colours: black, white, silver, gold, yellow, red and blue, all of which are the same price.

Laura Moya doesn’t like technology very much. In fact, within just a few minutes of talking to her, she’ll tell you just how inaccessible it is for anyone with a disability. But Laura isn’t letting that stop her. She’s currently working on her thesis at the University of Zaragoza in north-eastern Spain. While the digital world has the potential to greatly improve the lives of people with disabilities, she feels there’s a long way to go before it’s completely accessible and inclusive: “Technologies haven’t been created for people with functional diversity”, she says....
Qualcomm unveiled its Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform in December of 2017, and we visited its headquarters in San Diego to benchmark the chip to see just how fast it runs compared to the older 835, Apple’s A11, Huawei’s Kirin 970 and Samsung’s Exynos 8895 (on the iPhone X, Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S8 respectively). The Snapdragon 845 is expected to be inside the Samsung Galaxy S9, the upcoming new Sony flagship, as well as potentially the Nokia 9 at MWC....
Sony Xperia M2 review: Price The Sony Xperia M2 will cost you £229.99 inc VAT from Sony’s online shop. The M2 certainly looks worth the money, but when you compare its specs and performance with the £135 Motorola Moto G, you’ll find that it’s not dissimilar, despite the much lower price tag. Take a look at the best smartphones of 2014 too. Our review sample was supplied by Clove which is selling the Xperia M2 for £210....
That’s why this Black Friday deal is such a steal, dropping the game down to what we think is the cheapest it’s ever been since its launch last year: just £14 from Argos or Currys – and if you grab it from Currys you even get six months of free Spotify Premium thrown in too, which is worth £60 in its own right (so long as you’re new to Premium)....
Here, we showcase the best Square Enix E3 2018 trailers and explain how to re-watch the E3 2018 livestream. What did Square Enix announce at E3 2018? While Square Enix announced a flurry of new games and trailers during the E3 2018 presentation, here are the best and most impressive announcements.

Apple’s top-end MacBook Air features a 128GB SSD and costs 40 per cent more than a similar model that has a 120GB hard drive. Sony (Sony VAIO TT) and Toshiba (Toshiba Dynabook SS RX1) also sell premium laptops boasting more-efficient SSDs. Yet, while SSDs are fast at writing large files and at reading either large or small files they tend to be far slower than mechanical hard drives at storing small slices of data, called “random writes”....
Starbreeze Star VR release date and price Although rival VR headsets are already available to buy, the StarVR release date and price are two unknown pieces of information – at least in a specific sense. This is because the StarVR headset is still in development so we’ll update this information when there’s more to say. Version 1.4 was demonstrated at E3 2016. However, we do know the StarVR release date – in a way – is later this year thanks to one of the firm’s partners....
The release of the Windows client on Thursday comes after the company’s launch of a Mac version in 2013. The two clients offer the same performance.

We’ve been big fans of the Mario Party games here at Tech Advisor. Over the years, they’ve brought copious amounts of joy and laughter and have been accessible to players of all ages and experience. This is exactly what Nintendo does so well, so it’s great to have a new version for the popular Switch. The franchise has been around since 1998 and this is the first on a full console since Mario Party 10 on the Wii U in 2015....
Wrong on both counts. iPads are amazing gadgets, truly desirable pieces of tech. And they can do just about anything. But the truth is that most people use them as communications and entertainment devices. As a portable web browser, e-reader, TV and emailer the iPad excels. As a PC, not so much. On the other hand the Surface Pro shares with the iPad only the fact that both are tablets....
