HP Envy 13 review: Price For an expensive-looking and feeling laptop, the entry price for the Envy 13 is not too intimidating. Prices start at £649 for the 13-d008na from John Lewis for the version with an Intel Core i5 CPU and 1080p screen. If you can take the very reasonable bump up to £799, you can get a near-4K resolution screen and an Intel Core i7 CPU. In fact, at the time of writing the Envy 13-d061sa, with a Core i5 and 3200×1800 screen was on offer at Currys for £649, and that is good value....

High-megapixel front-facing cameras are becoming increasingly common in smartphones. Traditionally VGA-quality or 2Mp at best, Microsoft recently announced its 5Mp Lumia 735 as the ultimate Windows Phone for selfies. Huawei’s Honor 6 also has a 5Mp selfie camera. HTC was quick to one-up the pair with this 13Mp monster. As is always the way with the fast pace of technology, though, Oppo has since unveiled a 16Mp swivelling beast in the Oppo N3....

HTC Vive Tracker This is by far the most versatile and exciting of the new Vive accessories. This unassuming 85g has bags of potential and we were able to see some of the ways developers have utilised it already at MWC. In a nutshell, it’s an additional tracker that you can attach to basically anything you want. For example, we tried it strapped onto a huge 3D printed gun to awesome effect....

The equipment was allegedly imported into the country in the name of Ethio Telecom, a state-owned telecom company, without Ethio’s knowledge, according to the Ethiopia Revenue & Customs Authority (ERCA). This was done to avoid paying taxes, ERCA said. ERCA has said it will confiscate the equipment and is likely to slap the company with tax avoidance charges. The equipment has been stuck at the country’s port since last year....

Huawei Honor 3C review: Price, availability & competition Huawei Honor 3C review: Design & build quality At first glance, the Honor 3C is a simple but stylish device, which satisfyingly thin bezels and an overall thin and light feel. However, upon closer inspection you’ll notice a couple of tell-tale signs that giveaway this smartphone’s low price tag. First, the removable plastic back has a tacky shine to it, and it doesn’t perfectly align with the camera (at least on our review unit)....

When the cheaper Surface Go launched in 2018, few could have predicted how the form factor was about to take off. Just four years later, the likes of Dell, Asus and Lenovo all now make compelling Windows 2-in-1s worth considering. But it’s another company that’s the focus of this review, Huawei. The MateBook E is an attractive option on paper, especially with the tablet and keyboard cover available for less than most rivals....

“We have customers’ activity for products in the CPU space that goes into a video-game device,” Chia Song Hwee, Chartered’s president and CEO, said when discussing the company’s 45nm manufacturing plans with analysts during a recent conference call. Chia didn’t name the CPU customer but was likely referring to Microsoft, which uses Chartered to manufacture its Xbox 360 processor. The 64-bit Xbox 360 processor is a custom chip based on three 3....

But Samsung did a big mistake by giving every other phone the same design and look which disappointed many of the buyers. Times have changed now; Xiaomi and OnePlus are growing its user-base at the expense of the Korean-giant. Chinese brands offering sleek devices at an affordable price have driven Samsung to raise its game. That’s when Samsung launched their new A and E series Smartphones. Samsung Galaxy E7 is top of the line in this series....

In the US, it’s carried by AT&T Wireless and Sprint. It supports 4G LTE Speed in many LTE supported areas. Along with that, it has a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 processor. Its CPU runs at 1.5 GHz, which is somewhat faster than the international variant. Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread was the first official firmware for this smartphone. But with several newly launched Android versions, the users of this device were totally bored with its aging UI....

With a stainless-steel trim wrapped around a high-gloss black body, the Vortex Plus has a characteristic air fryer design. A deep drawer with a chunky vertical handle forms the bottom of the appliance, while a sloping touchscreen sits on top, complete with a silver control dial for scrolling. If you’re not familiar with conventional air fryers, it can initially feel strange to cook in a pull-out compartment. You can’t quite shake the feeling you are putting your frozen chips in a high-tech sock drawer, but the benefit of the set-up is an appliance that is child-proof, reduces cooking odours, and just makes cooking a meal tidier somehow....

For Apple the challenge is simple but difficult. Once you are at the top, there is nowhere else to go. The challenge to the iPad comes from a variety of angles. Microsoft’s own Surface Pro is a shrunk-down laptop offering true power PC computing on the move. The best Android slates such as those from Samsung and Asus offer something approaching iPad performance and style in often cheaper packages. Meanwhile Nokia’s Lumia 2520 and other Windows RT tablets are grown up Windows Phones....

Please note that we haven’t got our hands on an iPhone 6 yet but we’ve been well informed by colleagues in the US. This article will mostly compare specs of the two. iPhone 6 vs HTC One M8: Price UK The iPhone 6 will go on sale on 19 September starting at £539 for the 16GB model. It then costs £619 for the 64GB and £699 for the 128GB....

iPhone 6 vs Sony Xperia Z3 Compact comparison: Price The first differentiator between these two smartphones is the price. The iPhone 6 starts at £539 for the 16GB model, while the Xperia Z3 Compact offers only a 16GB model and costs £429 direct from Sony, or even less if you shop around. So that’s a saving of at least £110 already, and if you think you need more than 16GB (which most people do) you’ll have to cough up lots more for the 64GB iPhone 6 (£619) or the 128GB iPhone 6 (£699)....

The Note 7 has been out for around for quite a few weeks now, but Apple’s phablet has only just gone on sale. We’ve based this comparison about our more in-depth testing and use of the Note 7, and only limited hands-on time with the iPhone 7 Plus. We’ll know more in a couple of weeks when we have tested the iPhone 7’s camera, battery life and performance more fully....

Think of the potential revenue companies could generate if they had access to our conversations and could target adverts directly related to a product or service we’ve been longing for on platforms such as Facebook. Have you ever been mindlessly scrolling through your newsfeed and wondered, “that’s so strange, I was just telling Sarah about those new Steve Madden shoes, and now there’s an advert for them right on my screen....

HMD Global currently holds the crown for the most sensors in a single phone’s camera setup, thanks to the penta-lens design found on the back of last year’s Nokia 9 PureView. Now it seems Samsung might be cooking up a six-sensor setup with some decidedly unique tricks up its sleeve that would allow for a more versatile shooting experience from its future smartphones. In a patent submitted to WIPO (the World Intellectual Property Organisation) in December 2019 and published on 11 June 2020 (as spotted by Let’s Go Digital), Samsung details a multi-sensored smartphone arrangement (sometimes featuring four, five or six sensors) with the ability to tilt and angle select sensors within the array to achieve feats of never-before-seen smartphone photography....
