I track my blood pressure regularly, and already have Withings’ BPM Connect machine. But taking readings doesn’t come without its problems, and I reckon the new BPM Vision machine that launched at CES 2025 will help. In fact, I’m going as far as to call it a must-buy for anyone that takes regular readings. This isn’t your typical at-home cuff. It’s designed with a sleek, modern look and a large colour display that makes your results crystal clear. Whether you’re tech-savvy or not, Withings’ on-screen tutorials guide you through every step to ensure you get reliable readings every time. This…

With enough force, almost every phone can fold in half – not even the best smartphones on sale are immune from brute strength. But only a few can do it without suffering terminal damage. From retro revivals to cutting-edge clamshells, these best flip phones are perfectly pocketable, yet don’t skimp on top-tier hardware. By hiding a larger screen on the inside, flip phones are half the size of a traditional smartphone. Their outer screens are getting smarter and smarter, too, saving you from constantly flipping the thing open to reply to messages or check incoming emails. Add in increasingly capable…

I’ve tested far too many robot vacuums. And as much as I love the machines, one of my big gripes is that sometimes you could do with having a stick vac laying around. I’ve actually tested a few systems that combine the two, but they fell short. Fortunately, Eufy seems to have solved this with the new E20 3-in-1 system that just launched at the CES 2025 show. I’ve been using the machine for a few weeks now, and it’s mightily impressive. The detachable design lets you pop off the vacuum module from the robot base. It transforms into a…

I’ve seen some crazy tech re-branding exercises in my time (hi, Intel), but Dell’s latest move is absolutely staggering. The company’s performance-based XPS laptop line will no longer be called XPS because Dell is dumping all its more specific brand names. The company has decided copying Apple’s Pro and Pro Max branding is the way to go, something that will look even more silly if Apple itself ever does a MacBook Pro Max laptop. Dell follows in the steps of HP which rebranded its whole PC lineup last year. However, devices still had meaningful brand names such as OmniBook. It…

CES 2025 is in full swing in Las Vegas, and the popular audio company JBL is introducing some great new audio products arriving this year. Here are some of my favorites. JBL Tour One M3 JBL The JBL Tour One M3 is more than just a pair of high-end, over-ear headphones. The included Smart TX audio transmitter is designed to turn any audio source wireless with a USB-C or analog connector. The connection between transmitter and headphone is designed to improve latency and call quality. Eight microphones on the headphones help provide the best active noise-canceling experience possible. To provide…

Google’s AI-powered Gemini model has been swiftly making its rounds, overthrowing Google Assistant on handheld devices and Google’s smart home products. Now, Gemini has found its way to Google TVs, and the result is a more conversational voice assistant. Gemini Will Soon Be the Voice of Google TV Unfortunately for Google Assistant, Gemini is coming in to take its place on Google TVs. One day ahead of CES 2025’s official start, Google’s The Keyword announced that the company would be integrating its “Gemini models to make interacting with your TV more intuitive and helpful.” Google One perk of Gemini that…

In a world full of smart TV operating systems like Roku, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, and many more, TiVo hopes there is room for one more option. Say Hello to TiVo OS The first television powered by a TiVo OS will arrive in the United States next month. A Sharp 55-inch QLED set will feature three HDMI ports and support for Dolby Atmos. There’s no word on how much the TV will cost. TVs with the OS are already available in Europe. TiVo According to the company, TiVo OS features a comprehensive approach to content management and discovery. It…

Smart locks are some of the best smart home gadgets – but why should your pet miss out on all the fun? Last year, Pawport’s launched a smart doggy door that makes your furry friend’s life (and yours) a whole lot easier. Now, there’s a second-gen version that’s even smarter and safer than ever.

The new two-door setup syncs perfectly for double-layer protection. They’re made from thick steel, aircraft-grade aluminium, and not one but two deadbolts. Oh, and just…

If you’re fed up with shelling out big bucks for a flashy flagship phone, you’ll probably want to invest in one of the best mid-range smartphones instead. There was a time when opting for a smartphone that wasn’t a pricey flagship meant settling for a lacklustre experience. Back then, affordable smartphones were synonymous with bland designs, flimsy build quality, and sluggish performance. These devices often left users frustrated, struggling with slow apps, poor battery life, and mediocre cameras. Fortunately, those days are now firmly behind us. Today, the landscape of mid-range smartphones has dramatically improved. You can find incredible handsets…
