Android makers don't seem to put a lot of effort in tablets these days and the Apple iPad has become the default choice for those looking for anything beyond entry-level devices. There are still somethat are worth a look and this one is one of them - the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Priced the same €379 as the 7th gen Apple iPad, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a clear purpose, and in typical Samsung fashion brings more bang than the Apple product.

Haylou Solar review - a hidden smart wearable gem

Introduction Here's the quick version of what the Haylou Solar is - the Xiaomi Mi Band functionality with even better battery life, traditional watch styling and a big round display for around €20. Sounds intriguing? Read on then to see how well it all works. The Haylou Solar uses an LCD rather than an OLED panel so an always-on display feature is out of the question, so even in that you have feature parity with the Mi Band. Also, despite what the name may lead you to believe there's no Solar charging of any sort here. Haylou Solar (Haylou LS05) specs Body: 45.3 x 11.4,...

Week 26 in review: iOS 14 and Realme X3 official, OnePlus Nord/Z teasing begins

This week Apple kicked off its online-only WWDC by detailing the new iOS 14, iPadOS, tvOS, WatchOS and macOS Big Sur.

Flashback: the iPhone SE was a true mini-flagship and it is still relevant today

Last week we reminisced about the smallest Android, this week we will look at the iOS side of things. The original Apple iPhone SE was not the smallest iPhone ever, but it was the smallest in recent memory - more importantly, the smallest that is still current. Apple announced that all of its phones that are running iOS 13 now will be able to update to iOS 14 by the end of the year. This includes the SE (which made its debut with iOS 9), but not the older 5s, on which the design was based. Not bad for a phone that came out over four years ago (March 2016). The design actually dates...

Weekly poll: Is iOS 14 a worthy upgrade? Can it make you switch?

iOS 14 is coming to millions of devices - everything from the iPhone 6s and older (including the original SE) - and it will improve all of those phones. Even better, the new features it brings may prove to be just what was needed for some Android users to make the jump. The new version received some admittedly Android-like features, but also added stuff that Android should copy. We've written about iOS 14 at length, so we'll just go over the highlights quickly before pointing you to the polling station. Widgets are finally treated as first-class citizens - having them on the lock screen...
