There’s really no escaping it: the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design is an eye-wateringly expensive smartphone. So much so, in fact, the cost of a return flight to Dubai to pick one up in person will set you back less than the device itself. That’s one of the few countries outside of China you can actually get hold of one, as being stuck on the software back foot continues to hamper the firm’s Western appeal. However, being able to concertina a 10.2in tablet in enough places so that it slips into a trouser pocket softens the blow. A lot. The…

A great dive watch is more than just a timekeeper – it’s a symbol of adventure, resilience, and precision engineering. Originally designed for professional divers, these watches are built to handle extreme underwater conditions, with high water resistance, luminous dials for low-light visibility, and unidirectional rotating bezels for tracking dive times. Over the years, they’ve evolved from essential tools to everyday icons, worn as much for their rugged charm as for their functionality. Nowadays, luxury dive watches offer impeccable craftsmanship, premium materials, and cutting-edge movements, often boasting deep-sea capabilities and innovative tech, while, at the more affordable end, there are…

After a few days of confusion, Google has officially confirmed issues with both the second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio. Google Says There’s Currently No Fix to Casting Problems Reddit The problem occurs when you try to cast audio or video from a smart device to the larger TV screen. When attempting to send content, you’ll see an “Untrusted Device” error with the option to dismiss it. Google recently emailed users: We’re contacting you because of a disruption affecting Chromecast (2nd gen) and Chromecast Audio devices. We apologize for the issue and understand your frustration.

The big streaming services are increasingly focusing on original programming rather than old reruns. However, the problem with that is making people sit up and take notice of these original shows. Which is especially difficult for those people not already subscribed to the streaming service hosting them. Andor Episodes Are Available on YouTube One possible solution to this quandary is making shows available on other platforms after a certain amount of time has elapsed. Which seems to be a strategy Disney is testing with one of its many Star Wars offerings. The first three episodes of what many people regard…

I’ve tested far too many robot vacuums. And as much as I love the machines, most new models come with a huge docking station to hold debris or mop water. It’s great if you’ve got the room, but not so great if you’re tight on space. iRobot’s new Roomba 205 robot vac is a compact device without the huge station. But you’ll still hardly ever have to empty it, thanks to a brand new debris compactor feature. This robot vac is the first to cram a mechanical debris compactor inside its shell – effectively giving dust bunnies the squeeze of their lives.…

Quick Links QLED vs. OLED: Which Is Better? When you’re in the market for a new TV, you’re likely to encounter terms like QLED, OLED, and UHD. But what do these terms mean, and how do they differ? What Is QLED? QLED stands for Quantum-dot Light-Emitting Diode. A QLED display is just like a regular LED display, except it uses ultrafine particles called “quantum dots” to supercharge its brightness and color. In short, displays that use QLED tech deliver better colors. Though QLED was introduced by Sony in 2013, Samsung now sells QLED TVs and has partnered with other QLED…

The Android world was quick to turn sci-fi folding displays into tech reality. Samsung, Google, Motorola, OnePlus, Xiaomi… almost every brand has a flip-style or book-style foldable on their slate – or is about to, looking at Stuff’s list of upcoming smartphones. So when can we expect Apple to follow suit? iPhone fans are in the dark as to whether Apple is experimenting with folding or flipping designs, and will likely stay that way until the firm makes it official – unless the leakers and tipsters get their way before the grand reveal, that is. And the latest reports suggest…
