Moreover, this phone recently got an official Android 4.4.2 KitKat update from Samsung, and we can hardly say whether this phone will get the official Lollipop update or not. Hence, why waste time in waiting for another OTA update? Rather than waiting for it, you can flash the unofficial custom ROMs and get the experience of the fresh new OS.

Design & Build This is not a small mic, measuring at 116mm x 268.5mm. If you’ve got a video setup then you’re likely to see it in the shot, so that has to be an aesthetic you’re comfortable with. It’s also relatively heavy at 1.6kg, so not the easiest if you’re looking for something you can transport out and about in comparison to lighter microphones. The front of the mic comes with multiple settings to play around with....

For the current SATA-standard drives, Seagate offers a regular and Pro version, the latter adding in a little more endurance thanks to higher-grade NAND stock and the use of higher over-provisioning.

Times change, but Sony has been keeping happy those of us who prefer a smartphone to be small and usable with one hand; compact. The Sony Xperia X Compact is the latest of the company’s sub-5in handsets, but its sits in a confusing line up of devices. Alongside it are the Xperia XZ, Xperia X and Xperia XA. Those phones are, respectively, high-end, upper mid-range and lower mid-range. So where does the Xperia X Compact fit in?...

Also see: Best new phones. It seems Sony is back to s six-month cycle for some devices, with the Xperia XZ only on the market for a few short months since IFA 2016. Nevertheless, we have four new handsets from Sony mobile – some of which will have to compete with the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8 for the best phone of 2017 title.

Since ditching its conventional naming system, the last being the Xperia Z5, Sony’s range needs a bit of explaining. The XZ is now the top tier but this new model is no replacement for the XZ Premium. Instead, the XZ1 is the 12-month refresh for the XZ so is slightly lower down in the pecking order. There’s also a new Xperia XZ1 Compact for those who want a smaller phone but with high-end specs....

Right now though, smartglasses are hard to come by. Google has stopped selling its £1,000 Explorer Edition for now, Toshiba’s smartglasses are very much a prototype and Sony’s are only designed for developers who are looking to create apps for future smartglasses.

Wonder Woman 1984 DC movies have struggled a bit of late, especially when compared to the all-conquering output from Marvel Studios, but the one shining light was the excellent Wonder Woman movie released in 2017. Now, Gal Gadot returns to the titular role, as the story leaves behind WW1 and goes into the neon drenched lands of 1984. Chris Pine is literally resurrected to play Steve Trevor (although from the trailer we’re not exactly sure how) and together they face mysterious high-power businessman Maxwell Lord....
