Design Sony’s phones traditionally have a very ‘Sony’ look: blocky, angular, oversized… and old-fashioned. Sony hopes to change all that with its new Xperia XZ2, which sees a move away from the previous ‘Omnibalance’ design language to the new ‘Ambient Flow’. Both models remain waterproof. Compared to its predecessor, Sony has reduced the XZ2’s towering bezels and introduced curved glass front and rear. It’s also added an 18:9 display, bringing the XZ2 kicking and screaming into the future, but while this is an improvement over the XZ1 it’s still a far cry from the ‘all-screen’ designs of its rivals....

Luckily for us, Sphero has been extra busy since 2015, and this year it’s launching two new droid toys: R2-D2 and BB-9E, along with a refreshed version of BB-8 that boasts all of the new features. We’ve seen the new droids in action, and here’s what you can expect from your new favourite toys.

Eso no es una gran sorpresa, especialmente cuando se trata de una versión reducida de la Surface Laptop principal, con especificaciones ligeramente más básicas para permitir que su precio sea también más económico y accesible para todos. Si bien la versión original llegó a resultar un tanto decepcionante, la segunda generación de 2022 mejoró enteros, consiguiendo dar un gran paso adelante. Es fácil de recomendar, aunque todavía hay mucho margen de mejora para que adquiera su propia seña de identidad....

The event, called Pwn2Own Vancouver, sees hackers from all over the world attempt to hack, break and otherwise compromise an array of products with the goal of exposing exploits that developers can then fix. The Model 3 will be the first car to feature at this event but we’re sure we’ll be seeing more and more in the coming years as technology in cars increases at a furious pace. The car will also be awarded as a prize to the single winner in the automotive hack category....

The latest laptops are made for today’s busy professionals. Not only do they look great in the meeting room, but they’re also thin and light which means they don’t slow you down on your travels. Plus, Moore’s law means that hardware is improving all the time, so you’re getting better performance as well as longer battery life. All of this is great news for businesses who want new technology to improve workers’ efficiency and productivity....

Now, it seems we’re on to another gripping variant that has taken inspiration from one of lockdown’s biggest obsessions. Two shows of this nature have taken social media by storm – one on a global scale, and one for the UK nation. I’m of course talking about Netflix’s The Mole, and BBC’s The Traitors. Both take a random group of people who must complete tasks to get a shot at a cash prize....

Whether you’re looking for a discount on a new laptop, a Samsung Galaxy S21, the iPhone 12, a new Fitbit, or discounts on consoles like the Nintendo Switch (or where the heck to buy a PS5!) we’ve got you covered....

The newly animated title sequence is haunting, depicted in black and white with eerie images of familiar objects such as Darryl’s crossbow and Michonne’s katana. There’s also the mysterious helicopter we’ve seen in Season 8, a skull with a pitchfork thrust into it, a bunch of creepy ravens, and a message scrawled on the gates: “Final warning”. “We’re paying homage to some of the iconic moments from the graphic novel....

This is a 55in model which is huge but should still fit in a typical living room, buy can also get a decent £410 off the 49in size if you need something smaller. It’s just £539. Either way, you’re getting a 2019 smart TV with a 4K Ultra HD resolution and support for HDR creating a crisp and vibrant image. That’s four times the resolution of Full HD and Sont’s X-Reality Pro makes it even better....

The process asks you to take a selfie and then compares it to your profile photos. The app know if you’ve taken the photo in real time, proving the photo was just taken. Once verified, profiles will get a blue checkmark. It might not prove to be a fool proof system, but Tinder hopes it’ll go some way to assuring its users that when a profile is verified, the person talking is indeed that person....

As with desktop PCs that are groomed for gaming, laptops for playing Windows games will come equipped with a dedicated graphics processor from either AMD or nVidia. The best choice between the two graphics-card brands seems to oscillate over time – these graphics specialists have tended to leapfrog each over time with the best combination of performance and value. Right now, nVidia is the most popular choice but that didn’t stop Toshiba from selecting an AMD solution for the Qosmio X70-B-10T, a 17....

At £99 (see the bottom of this review for the latest online prices) we think it represents excellent value. There are cheaper Powerline adapters out there but none of these match the AV2000 for speed and features. Powerline is a simple plug-and-play technology that will transform your home network so that you can near-replicate Internet router speeds in more than one room of your house. For more details see What is Powerline?...

The TP-Link’s closest competitor is the slightly cheaper £17 Lumsing 10400mAh Power Bank. Both feature a 104000mAh capacity and two USB outputs – one rated at 1A for smartphones and the other 2.1A for fast-charging tablets and phones. You can plug a phone into this second output, of course – it will draw only the power it requires – but some tablets may not like the 1A output. Typically iPads....

Also see: Best Black Friday Gadget Deals At first glance the TP-Link appears to be a cheap and cheerful, but rather basic power bank. A white plastic cylindrical device with an intriguing diamond-patterned grippy service, it isn’t especially feature rich, yet gets the job done as intended. Actually there’s more to it than meets the eye. No power bank is able to deliver its full advertised capacity for charging your USB devices....

Right now both the Vernee Apollo Lite and Vernee Mars are on offer at GearBest, which offers free shipping to the UK. We recommend selecting the option to buy the Vernee Mars from the EU warehouse, because although you’ll pay more upfront you won’t be liable for any import duty, so there won’t be any nasty surprises. From the EU warehouse the Vernee Mars costs £198.01 ($246.99). By comparison, there is currently no EU warehouse option for the Vernee Apollo Lite, so you must buy from China....
