Pros

  • With autofocus
  • Improved flash performance
  • Long battery life

Cons

  • I-type films are quite expensive

With the Polaroid Now, you get a new instant camera with autofocus that, according to the manufacturer, has three main improvements:

  • It is even easier to use.
  • The batteries last longer.
  • The flash offers a more robust performance.

This is a big plus, primarily because of the low light intensity.

The fact that instant camera film is not cheap is nothing new. Polaroid charges £14.99 for a film with eight pictures, while a five-pack costs £58.99. Those who can afford these costs get square photos with a white border and an excellent retro colour rendition. Other i-Type films, for example, will also follow with a black frame.

The camera housing is made of plastic and weighs just under 440 grams. Since the end of March, the Polaroid Now has been available at around £100 in black, white, blue, red, green, yellow and orange.

HP OmniBook 5 NGAI 16 Review: Huge Battery Life, Modest Pace
3.3/5
Laptops

The HP OmniBook 5 NGAI 16 gets the fundamentals mostly right for buyers who care more about battery life, portability and a strong OLED panel than outright speed. It is slim, quiet and efficient, but the compromises are obvious: limited raw performance, sparse ports and upgradeability that barely exists.

Tenways CGO Compact Review: Small Cargo E-Bike, Big Urban Appeal
4.1/5
Electric Bikes

The Tenways CGO Compact is one of the smartest compact cargo e-bikes available around the GBP/EUR2,000 mark. It combines a tidy frame, excellent urban agility, belt-drive simplicity and genuinely useful carrying potential, while still staying small enough for flats, lifts and narrow corridors. The weak point is comfort: on broken roads, the rigid front end and firm saddle make it much less forgiving than its polished design suggests.

BlackSheep AG18 Review: Cheap Smart Glasses With Surprisingly Capable Translation
4.1/5
Smart Glasses

The BlackSheep AG18 takes an aggressively low-cost approach to smart glasses and still manages to offer more than a gimmick. Its audio quality, battery life and charging setup are all compromised, but the AI-led translation tools, competent companion app and unexpectedly useful visual-recognition features make it far more interesting than the price suggests. It is not a Ray-Ban Meta rival in overall polish, yet it is a strikingly capable budget alternative for buyers who care more about translation and casual utility than premium sound or camera output.
