A shining example. Up until now, Nothing's smartphones have been far from cheap. The Nothing Phone (2a) sets the record straight. The 6.7-inch device has a starting price of £320 and gets to hold on to a lot of the more expensive Nothing Phone (2)'s hardware, including the iconic Glyph interface. So is this essentially a lot of great tech for little money? Let's find out.

Now with Advanced Optimus, but the power supply is too weak. Lenovo has improved its multimedia Yoga Pro 9i 16 flagship of the G9 generation in several areas. The 3.2K mini LED panel with 1200 nits is optionally matte and accompanied by Advanced Optimus. We put the most powerful configuration, which has the Core Ultra 9 185H and GeForce RTX 4070 laptop, to the test.

Much quieter than before. The dual-screen Yoga Book 9i is back this year with new Meteor Lake-U CPUs and integrated Arc graphics. The differences and performance advantages between the 2023 and 2024 models, however, aren't what we were expecting.
Intel Core Ultra 7 155U | Intel Graphics 4-Cores iGPU (Arc) | 13.30" | 1.4 kg

Now even faster and more power efficient. The Latitude 9450 2-in-1 may be modestly faster and longer-lasting, but it doesn't do enough outside of the CPU to distinguish itself from the older and visually identical Latitude 9440 2-in-1.

Listen up. Listening to music while still maintaining awareness of your surroundings. This is what Baseus wants to make possible with its Eli Sport 1. The headphones keep your ear canals free, supposedly ensuring greater safety during workouts. Nevertheless, good sound shouldn't be neglected as a result. We have listened in to what these open ears can do.

When less is good enough. The Teclast M50 offers no high-end performance or top-of-the-range features—it is a relatively affordable tablet that masters everything you'll need in everyday use. Plus, it even features quite a few extras, such as mobile data, a large amount of storage and stereo speakers.

Out of its teething troubles? LG's new Gram has stayed true to the series. From the outside, barely anything has changed about the slim 17-inch device. On the inside, a Meteor Lake processor now powers the laptop. However, LG has quietly and secretly eliminated a few of the points of criticism which we raised about our test device's predecessors.

Smile for the camera. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Oppo has equipped the Find X7 Ultra with a top processor and also uses the best of the best in the rest of the hardware. But the clear highlight is the Hasselblad quad camera with its 1-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor, which gives the Oppo smartphone the potential to push top smartphones such as the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max off the camera throne.

Mini LEDs, but not in the screen. Although the idea may not be particularly new, the Tecno Pova 6 Pro 5G's light effects on the back are pretty impressive. Its transparent design is a real eye-catcher and thanks to its speedy storage, abundance of RAM and AMOLED screen, its features are just as good. Is this phone the ultimate hidden gem?

We used the Oclean X Ultra in everyday life for four weeks. Update: Oclean is in no way affiliated with Xiaomi.

OLED touchscreen and a hefty price tag. Dell has presented the XPS 14, a new multimedia laptop of which we have tested the high-end variant with an OLED panel and the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. At almost US$3,000, the device costs an arm and a leg and especially when it comes to performance, you shouldn't set your expectations too high.
Intel Core Ultra 7 155H | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU | 14.50" | 1.8 kg

Perfect fit for AMD Zen 4. The mini PC comes with 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage, and a powerful Ryzen 7 7840HS all for under $500 to be an attractive alternative to the Intel NUC. There are a few drawbacks for sure, but they pale in comparison to the longer list of strengths.

140 W GeForce RTX 4070 graphics. The Legion Pro 5 16 G9 includes several adjustments over last year's Legion Pro 5 16 G8 both internally and externally. However, there's no escaping the fact that the model is on the bigger and heavier side even for a 16-inch gaming laptop.

Without wires. With the Navimow i105E and i108E, Segway presents a new and fairly inexpensive robotic lawnmower which, thanks to EFLS 2.0 and a camera, manages completely without a boundary wire and recognizes obstacles with AI support. Our review reveals how well the Navimow i105E works in practice.

Beamer on the gimbal. Today we are testing an extremely flexible 4K projector. The most distinctive feature of the Jmgo N1 Ultra is its stand.

Mixed performance. Dragon's Dogma 2 may be good in terms of gameplay but from a technical standpoint, it still appears to be half-baked in its current state. Nevertheless, we battled our way through the role-playing game with the help of several graphics cards.

Core Ultra with 2.2K display for under $1000. The latest Inspiron 14 Plus ships with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and a high resolution IPS display for a decent price. However, discrete GPU options have been removed which puts all the pressure on integrated Arc 8 to do the heavy lifting.

The action RPG has quite a bit to offer not only content-wise but also graphically. In this review, we’ll check out what the hardware requirements are for the game.

Tuned down. The Galaxy XCover 7 is more affordable but also has lower-end specifications than the last XCover. It has the basics: a protected chassis, a removable battery and 5G. But users have to make do with less performance. Can this be a good thing? Or may Samsung have cut the wrong corners on this phone?

Powerful fully-equipped off-road bike. The Z20 Plus is PVY's new foldable bike which is also supposed to be suitable for off-road use. We observed: The model is comfortable to ride, but it could run into some legal issues depending on where you are based. Update: Do not purchase PVY bicycles. They are not EN 15194-compliant and thus not legal to ride in the EU. Returning one will be difficult to do, too.

Very cheap and well equipped. With the Z20 Pro, the manufacturer PVY offers a new foldable bike with an electric motor at a really competitive price. Our everyday test shows that the manufacturer delivers a strong overall package, but the low price requires compromises in several areas. Update: Do not purchase PVY bicycles. They are not EN 15194-compliant and thus not legal to ride in the EU. Returning one will be difficult to do, too.

Small price, large display. In addition to the large screen and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, the 12.1-inch Honor Pad 9 offers great sound with its eight speakers. With pen support and an optional keyboard cover, the mid-range tablet also scores highly in productivity.
