Hands on: Lenovo Miix 2 review

Want the functionality of a laptop with the speed and ease of a tablet? Don't we all. Lenovo has taken another pass at that very Windows 8 dream. It's called the Miix 2, and it looks promising for its raw power alone. The Lenovo Miix 2 is essentially a tablet loaded with the full version of Microsoft's OS (Windows 8.1, to be exact). It comes with ... Читать дальше

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 review

The Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 was announced before CES 2014, but it wasn't until the Las Vegas-set convention that we got to pour over every inch of this extra-large tablet. The Android KitKat device felt like a true laptop replacement thanks to its 12.2-inch WQXGA LCD at a 2560x1600 resolution and accompanying S Pen. The Galaxy Note Pro's S ... Читать дальше

Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 review

The Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 is a 4-inch mid-range Android smartphone that all of a sudden feels very insignificant next to the Motorola Moto G. Priced at £200 SIM-free, the Ace 3 is more expensive than the Moto G and has a less impressive specs list with exception of its 4G support, one of the few missing features on the Moto G. If you want a 4G ... Читать дальше

Acer Iconia A1-830 review: Hands-on

The Acer Iconia A1-830 is an update to the original Iconia A1, released last year. It's a tablet that deliberately borrows a few key design elements from the iPad series – most importantly screen size and shape - while costing a lot less. The tablet costs around £170, and will be available in the UK around the end of February 2014. Acer Aspire A1 ... Читать дальше

Nokia Lumia 1520 review Review

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a landmark phone in the history of Windows Phone. For the first time since its launch, Windows Phone 8's hardware support has caught up with the iPhone 5S and top Android phones like the Nexus 5. The Lumia 1520's full HD screen, quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM are exactly what we've come to expect from ... Читать дальше

HTC Desire 500 review

The HTC Desire 500 is HTC's new mid-range phone, available for around \xA3200 SIM-free, \xA3180 on pre-pay and from \xA317 or so a month on contract. It has a 4-inch screen, a decent overall spec and a design that far exceeds what we're used to at this price. On paper it's a very promising phone, though like most mid-range phones it now has the ... Читать дальше

Acer Iconia B1-720 review: Hands-on

Acer has produced a few iterations of the Iconia B1, its lowest-cost Android tablet. The latest is called the Acer Iconia B1-720, and it is slimmer and lighter than the previous versions, but keeps the 7-inch screen. As with the last Iconia B1, there are obvious compromises that come with a £120 price, but let's see whether they're deal-breakers. ... Читать дальше

Asus Padfone mini review: Hands-on

The Asus Padfone mini is a smaller version of the Padfone devices we've already seen, including the Padfone Infinity and Padfone 2. It remains an unusual idea – a phone that slots into a tablet-sized screen – but it's the most accessible Padfone yet as it's by far the cheapest. Exact UK pricing is as yet unknown, though.

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 review

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 tells you pretty much exactly what it is from the not-so-catchy title: it’s a 10-inch tablet from Lenovo. The Yoga part of the name refers to the kick-stand it has on the back, which allows it to stand on one end, much like the Apple Smartcovers do the iPad, but also adds couple of other positions to make it more ...

ZTE Open Review

The ZTE Open is the first Firefox OS phone to be readily available in the UK. As we reported a few months ago, ZTE has taken the unusual step of selling it via eBay, and at the princely sum of \xA359.99 contract free.

What is the Asus Zenfone 4? The Asus Zenfone 4 is Asus's new ultra-budget Android phone.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2013) review

With 2GB on board storage, a 212 ppi resolution, a "25% faster processor" (Amazon wasn't very forthcoming on the exact speed) and weighing in at 206 grams, the latest Paperwhite is taking aim at the higher-end of ereader specs.
