We’ve taken a trip through the Finns’ greatest handset hits – and misses In the 80s, 90s and 2000s, Nokia regularly shifted the gadget-time continuum with its crazy concepts and unbreakable bricks. We’ve got fond memories of the original 3310 (good luck beating our Snake high score, people), but there are countless more iconic models. Many could have been considered among the best smartphones on sale at the time. We’ve revisited the best Nokia phones ever – but this little wander down memory lane also takes in a few models that weren’t so classic. Because Nokia was out on its…

Welcome to Miami Beach, the little strip of man-made heaven where the water is warm, the clothing is scarce and the parking is even scarcer. Aside from the low inventory of spaces, visitors looking to drive in must contend with obstacles from King Tide flooding to shady tow companies, elusive residential zones and pedestrian-only areas. But it’s all worth it once you finally dip a toe in. Parking in Miami Beach? Let’s start with the basics: Arrive as early as possible, avoid the congested streets closest to the ocean and always triple-check for tow-away signs. Avoid wasting your precious time on the sand circling the…

Follow the bananas painted along the sidewalk to find Peel, a friendly, sunshine-hued storefront in downtown Miami Shores serving the city’s most popular ice cream. That this soft serve is entirely vegan, wholesome and prepared using rejected bananas does not detract from its deliciousness. Actually, those are the proverbial cherries—or mango, local honey and housemade granola—on top of this super-sweet, sustainable business. Founded by Valeria Alvarez in 2019, the Peel concept began as a stand at the Legion Park Farmers Market before evolving into a food truck and then the colorful brick-and-mortar shop it’s called home since July 2023.  Video:…

Samsung wants the Galaxy Z Fold 5 to become the best folding phone on the market, which will be no easy feat when it already set the bar so high with the previous-gen Z Fold 4. That phone wasn’t perfect, but it was my favourite foldable for its entire shelf life thanks to effortless multitasking, plenty of power and a capable set of cameras. This newer generation addresses some of the Fold 4’s design shortcomings, steps up on CPU and improves things on the photography front. If you want the complete lowdown on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 you can…

For all that Miami has going for it, let’s be real: It is not always the most peaceful city. Be it the drunk venture capital bros yelling “let’s gooooooooo” outside your apartment at 3am, a non-stop symphony of cars honking or whoever the Florida Man of the day might be, there is no shortage of noise. When you’ve had enough of our public beaches and our public parks just aren’t doing it for you (even these secret ones), there’s always camping. What we lack in mountains we make up for tenfold in waterfront and water-based fun, as South Florida touts exclusive campsites…

A new, handheld PlayStation console is here. And that PlayStation handheld has now been officially named as the PlayStation Portal, which Sony calls a ‘remote player’ owing to its reliance on the PS5 itself – read on and we’ll tell you more about that. The PlayStation Portal is now available to buy for $200/£200 and we’ve now reviewed it – check out our full PlayStation Portal review. Sony is going to be busy over the next few weeks since not only has the Portal emerged, but we’re also getting a PS5 slim as well as some new PlayStation audio gear…

A reprieve from South Florida’s scorching summer sounds nice, right? As the dense humidity creeps in, so do those thoughts of escaping the 305 for a quick getaway—or perhaps the entire season. Beyond the cooler temps, though, there is so much to explore outside of Miami during the summer months, whether here in the U.S. or abroad. Among the bountiful options are the Olympics, an exceptionally hip mountain town, a Caribbean mango festival and a tropical island in Panama you’ll be dreaming of for the rest of the year. Get planning: These are our picks for the 10 best summer getaways…

If you’re on the lookout for some new home cinema kit then you might have seen some TVs marked as having Filmmaker Mode. But what the hell is it? And do you need it? Allow us to explain. First announced in 2019, Filmmaker Mode, or FMM, is a picture mode for Ultra HD or 4K TVs as well as HD TVs. Developed as a collaboration between filmmakers, Hollywood studios, consumer tech firms and the UHD Alliance, Filmmaker Mode is designed to help you to watch films and TV shows at home the way that filmmakers intended. The idea is to…

On November 15, 2001, there was a serious shake-up in the console wars. Microsoft entered the ring with Xbox, launching first in North America, with Japan, Europe and Australia getting to join in a few months later. Welcome to our guide to the best Xbox games of all time (not to be confused with our pick of the best upcoming games to play this year). Even though Microsoft is one of the richest companies in the world, success was not guaranteed. But over the past two decades, major innovations and memorable franchises have truly cemented its place in gaming history.…

When people look back at the pre-smartphone era with their rose-tinted specs, Nokia tends to be the first name that jumps out at them (despite the fact that its handsets no longer make our list of the best smartphones money can currently buy). We’ve taken a look back at the Finnish mobile giant’s past accomplishments elsewhere, but it’s not the only company that helped pave the way for the phones we’re all so addicted to today. HTC gave it a good go before being absorbed into Google’s hardware division, and Huawei made massive strides from China into the wider world…
