Archos 64 Xenon: display & design The first thing I realised when I picked up the 64 Xenon at the Archos stand at MWC was that it’s just a bit too big. With a 6.4in display and bezels that aren’t exceptionally thin, this phablet is a beast. I much preferred the 5.9in LG G Pro 2 because I was able to appreciate the big screen without it becoming uncomfortable to hold....
If you’re having a hard time picturing this – think about a Microsoft Surface 2-in-1 that hits the local gym hard for its new year’s resolution, discovers the weights room and decides it wants to do nothing else. With specs that look remarkably similar to the Alienware Area-51m that we took a look at, the Mothership is certainly running in the same race but does have a few obvious key differences....
The ROG (Republic of Gamers) Phone made its debut four years ago, and has since established itself as the go-to handset for mobile gamers. That’s despite fierce competition from brands such as Red Magic, Black Shark and even Poco. But even if you’re set on an Asus handset, there are four devices in the latest ROG Phone 6 Series to choose from. The regular 6 is the second cheapest of these, coming in at just under $1,000/£1,000 when paying full price....
As you drive around the map and progress through Horizon Life large purple circles will appear on the map to show you where to start looking. You might find them in a different order to us, and four barns can be found only in the corresponding season, so you might have to wait until that rolls around: seasons change every Thursday. This is one reason why this guide isn’t yet complete: we need to wait for all four seasons to arrive....
Even though its build quality is top notch you may still want a case to keep it looking pristine. Here are our favourite cases for the KeyOne that we have rounded up as they’re often hard to find.

Whether you’re writing up an essay, revising for test or keeping in touch with teachers and classmates, a laptop can do it all. However, the wealth of choice on offer makes it difficult to know which device to go for.

We’ve previously reviewed the much more compact Midas power bank and UltraCompact power bank, and this is something completely different. This battery really means business. One of the things we like about CHJGD is its style, and not one of the power banks we’ve received from the company even closely resembles another. Power banks can be incredibly boring plastic slabs, but CHJGD is mixing things up in the market. It’s fair to say this Magnum Opus is another black plastic slab, but it’s apparent that its design has been more carefully considered....

The Slender Man games are innumerable, often amateurish and mostly routine, but their Spooky Person Pops Up Behind You formula has made extremely rich men of many YouTube personalities who most excel at cartoonish faux-terror. With the whiff of freshly-roasted cash cow in its nostrils, here comes first-person spook ’em up Daylight. Primarily set in that creepy staple, the abandoned hospital, it hurls about a dozen horror stereotypes a minute at your screen....
The Armor is rated IP67, which means it’s shockproof, dustproof, and protected in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes. Note that in order for it to be waterproof the flap that covers the ports must be tightly closed, which means it is protected from the elements only while it’s not in use. This won’t be a difficult feat to achieve, though – you need to give it some muscle just to open the tight-fitting flap....
Key differences between the Elephone P8 and Elephone P8 Mini naturally include a larger 5.5in screen on this standard model, but it also here has a fully metal build, a faster processor, more memory, a Home button with built-in fingerprint scanner (it’s on the rear on the Mini), and it’s swapped out the dual-camera for a 21Mp monster. Elephone P8 Price and UK availability You can buy the Elephone P8 from GearBest for £162....
