Price: £249 from fave.co/3t0154X The Motorola G84 5G is a new budget Android phone priced at the very competitive £250. Essentially an upgrade to the Moto G62, the G84 5G is aimed at buyers who want to buy a phone outright (or get a phone on a very cheap contract) and get the best possible value for money without having to spend an iPhone 15 amount of cash. So what does the Moto G84 5G have to offer? Aside from 5G support, you get a big 120Hz display, a battery that promises to last you a couple of days, a 50Mp main camera, 256GB of storage, and 12GB of RAM. That’s a lot for your money. In the context of budget phones, the Moto G84 5G is roughly £50 more…

REVIEWS Price: £389 from fave.co/3t7dd1u With a 10.9-inch display, a premium flat-edged design, and pricing that starts from £389, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE clearly has Apple’s iPad (2022) firmly in its sights. Samsung even bundles a stylus with every tablet, unlike Apple. Of course, Samsung isn’t the only Android manufacturer thinking along these lines, as the OnePlus Pad and the Lenovo Tab P12 go to show. But really, only Samsung is in any kind of position to take the fight to Apple in the premium tablet market. For some time now, if you’ve wanted a classy tablet that isn’t an iPad, Samsung has supplied the primary alternative. The previous FE (fan edition) tablet Samsung supplied, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, didn't quite nail the formula, with a slightly high…

BUYING GUIDE If you’re thinking about a new tablet, one company will almost certainly come to mind first: Apple. Thirteen years after making its debut, the iPad (in its various sizes) remains the go-to device for millions of people. They’re a no-brainer if you own an iPhone, but what if you prefer Android phones? In that situation, it usually makes most sense to get a tablet that’s also running Android. The software experience isn’t quite as good as iPadOS, but there are plenty of tablet apps these days and extensive customization options. There’s also loads of choice, with Samsung, Google, Xiaomi, OnePlus and Lenovo all represented below. Each has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, but there’s a device here to suit any prospective buyer. SIZE The first thing…

ANDROID 14 Google has got some incredibly useful ways to set yourself reminders in different areas of Android. Most of them are options you’d never even encounter if you didn’t know where to look, but once you uncover them these tips be invaluable. 1. THE SPOKEN TASK-SAVER We’l start with the simplest Android reminder option of all, but one that'’still out of sight and easy to forget. This is the Google Assistant-connected ability to set yourself a reminder and have it land within the Google Tasks service. This one’s a little confusing, as up until recently, Assistant had its own independent reminders system, but Google switched that system out for one built into Tasks instead. The way it works is still the same, though: no matter what you’re doing on…

REVIEWS Price: £219 from fave.co/3uCWRye Unlike its main rivals, Samsung isn’t afraid to release lots of new phones every year. There are dozens of Galaxy handsets to choose from, most of which cost far less than the flagship S series or foldable Z series. Its A series is one of the most popular, spanning the budget and mid-range markets. However, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to decide which model to go for, with the Galaxy A14 5G in a particularly confusing position. It costs just £219 at full price, but the non-5G version is even more affordable at £179. And while the performance and display are both superior, the A14 5G’s cameras are actually a downgrade for most people. However, that doesn’t mean you should rule it out, especially when…

REVIEWS Price: £349 from fave.co/47Vd2FI It took forever for Google to make its own smartwatch and now we’ve quickly arrived at the second-generation in the form of the aptly named Pixel Watch 2. The wearable arrived alongside the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones and while it’s still one of the most attractive smartwatches around and has some upgrades, it’s very similar to the original. It’s had a small price increase, so has Google focused its efforts in the right places to make it worth the cost? DESIGN You’d be forgiven for thinking the photos here are of the original Pixel Watch, as the Pixel Watch 2 is identical in design and build. Until you put it under a microscope, that is. One of the main changes is a…

AUDIO Price: £80 from fave.co/3QY4FCi While I was testing the EarFun Free Pro 3, I thought I was testing earbuds that retail for £180 and thought they were a good buy at that price, even if I had a couple of minor complaints. Turns out I misread the press release; I was off by a full £100. How did EarFun cram so many features into earbuds that sell for much less than £100? Even my quibbles seem unimportant after I realized what a bargain these are. Ignore the tortured syntax of EarFun's naming scheme and seriously consider the EarFun Free Pro 3. HOW THEY'RE MADE The EarFun Free Pro 3 earbuds are available in your choice of Brown Black, Navy Blue and Silver White. I tested the Brown Black version…

ANDROID 14 Google Calendar is a core part of the Android productivity package, but if all you’re using is what you see on the app’s surface, you’re missing out on some powerful possibilities. While the majority of the service’s advanced options may revolve around the Calendar website, the Android app has its share of handy options that are specific to the mobile experience. From time-saving shortcuts to efficiency-boosting options, they’re all things that have the potential to make your life easier. 1. QUICK PEEKING Tell me if you can relate to this: You head into the Calendar app on your phone to create a new event. You open the screen to add the event, but find yourself facing a mental blank. What else did you have going on that day?…

REVIEWS Price: £849 from fave.co/49hBQJe Many things go into building a good mobile phone. The right components, performance and features; a screen with good colour, contrast and brightness; a camera that gives you reliable images in many situations; good mobile signal and Wi-Fi reception; and well thought-out systems, apps and interfaces. One of the most important is the physical design of the mobile phone this is a gadget you carry in your pocket all day, and in your hand for several hours every day. So it has to be well adapted and designed for that. The Sony Xperia 5 V is not. Despite retaining the compact, elongated dimensions that Sony’s Xperia 5 phones have become known for, it’s one of the most uncomfortable phones to hold that I’ve tried in…

HEAD-TO-HEAD Samsung’s Galaxy A series has long been known for delivering impressive phones at a very reasonable price. The Galaxy A14 and A14 5G are no exceptions, offering the familiar Samsung experience for far less than the company’s flagships. As their names suggest, only one has 5G support. But that’s by no means the only difference between them. In this detailed comparison, we’ll run through everything you need to know. DIFFERENCES Both the Galaxy A14 and A14 5G share a similar design, available in Silver, Black or Green. They are nearly identical in size and weight, with the A14 5G being slightly heavier at 205g compared to the A14’s 201 g. In terms of display, they both feature a 6.6-inch, Full HD+ (2,408×1,080) LCD display, but the A14 5G edges…

AUDIO Price: £80 from fave.co/3SSTbSZ Given Edifier W820NB Plus headphones’ £80 street price, I had assumed I’d experience just middling audio performance. The hollow-sounding female voice informing me they were powered on did nothing to alter that perception, but my scepticism was misplaced. The W820NB Plus’s voice cues were the only aural aspect that wasn’t spot on. Indeed, these headphones sound like they might cost much, much more. We’re not talking best-in-category performance, but certainly the best I’ve heard for the price. They’re also very comfortable, they look good, they deliver long battery life, and their active noise cancellation doesn’t colour the sound to any noticeable degree. FEATURES The closed-back, over-ear Edifier W820NB Plus are available in black, two-tone dark grey, and two-tone cream/tan (the variation reviewed here). They’re outfitted…
