AirPods Max 2 Analysis: What Actually Changes and What Still Doesn't

Apple's AirPods Max 2 keeps the same silhouette, but the switch to the H2 chip, smarter listening modes and wired lossless support make the update more meaningful than the familiar design first suggests.

Oppo Find N6 First Look: The Foldable Samsung Should Worry About

The Oppo Find N6 looks less like another annual foldable refresh and more like a serious attempt to erase the crease problem that still defines the category. Early hands-on impressions suggest Oppo has produced one of the most convincing book-style foldables yet, even if wider availability remains the obvious frustration.

POCO X8 Pro Display Analysis: Budget Price, Flagship Brightness

The POCO X8 Pro looks like one of those rare mid-range phones that gets one big thing disproportionately right. Its display brightness figures put it in company that usually costs far more, even if that does not automatically make it a better all-round phone than the flagships it embarrasses on this one metric.

Dacia Jogger Hybrid 155 First Drive: Same Price, Better Family Car

The updated Dacia Jogger Hybrid 155 strengthens an already unusual family car recipe. It keeps the price in check, adds a more convincing hybrid powertrain and remains one of the cheapest ways to get seven seats, genuine practicality and low running costs in one package.

Renault Twingo E-Tech First Drive: The Small EV Europe Needs

The new Renault Twingo E-Tech looks like a serious answer to the affordable EV problem. It is light, unusually efficient and cleverly packaged, with enough charm to make the nostalgia feel earned rather than forced, though fast charging still should not be optional on the cheapest version.

Honor 600 First Look: More Than an iPhone Impression

The Honor 600 clearly borrows some visual cues from Apple's flagship playbook, but this early look suggests it is not just a lazy copy. A slim chassis, smart finishing details and a 200MP main camera give it real mid-range appeal, even if the missing telephoto camera and still-unknown price leave important questions unanswered.

DJI Avata 360 First Look: Big FPV Ambition, Big 8K Promise

DJI Avata 360 First Look: Big FPV Ambition, Big 8K Promise

DJI's Avata 360 looks like a serious attempt to dominate immersive FPV capture rather than merely answer Insta360 with a me-too launch. The combination of dual 200-degree cameras, 8K/60 capture, large sensors and DJI's O4+ video transmission gives it real technical weight, even if the heavier body means giving up the easy regulatory life of sub-250g drones. For early adopters who want cinematic 360 FPV footage, it already looks like one of the most aggressive launches in the category.

Xiaomi 17 review: compact flagship comfort with a real battery-life upgrade

Xiaomi’s latest compact flagship combines a superbly bright 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display, strong Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance and a major battery gain, but its ultra-wide camera and thermal behaviour still stop it short of being the obvious class leader.

Apple MacBook Neo review: the £700 Mac that gets the basics right, but not much more

Apple’s entry-level MacBook Neo looks unusually compelling at its price, combining strong build quality, a calibrated 13-inch display and silent everyday performance, but the 8GB memory ceiling, dated ports and missing niceties make the compromises impossible to ignore.

DJI Romo P review: a navigation master with a premium station, but not the most powerful cleaner

DJI's first robot vacuum cleaner is unusually polished for a debut, pairing excellent navigation and a feature-rich dock with solid floor performance, though suction and stain removal do not fully justify the launch price.

Apple iPhone 17e review: more power, MagSafe at last, but still not the obvious budget buy

Apple's cheapest current iPhone gains the A19 chip and finally adds MagSafe, but its dim 60Hz display, slow charging and single rear camera still make it a compromise-heavy route into the ecosystem.
