As of 1 March 2021, energy ratings have changed and you’ll notice that, when you shop for a fridge, freezer, wine cooler, washing machine, washer-dryer or dishwasher, it’s now rated differently. Why are energy ratings changing? Around 20 years ago, a new system of labelling major appliances was introduced. It gave every appliance a category from A to F to show how energy efficient it was. A was the top category and F the lowest, but as appliances became more energy efficient, they started to cluster at the top of the category settings and very few appliances were actually rated F....

The leak can from Ben Geskin’s twitter account, showing off the phones from sevral different angles in red, white, blue and pink colours. These pictures are only of the ‘dummy models’ rather than a finished handset. Make sure you take a look at our rumours article for the iPhone 8s. The leak also confirmed the size of that phone at 6.1 inches and includes an LCD display. The naming conventions of the newest series of iPhones have been long under discussion, but this iteration would certainly make sense as it calls back to the iPhone C which were basic iPhone 5-sized phones offering an alternative to the flagship models....

Nokia’s 1 series serves as the brand’s most modestly-specced but also impressively low-cost Android smartphone range and the 1.4 doesn’t do anything to subvert expectations here. The phone runs on Android Go (as did its predecessors) – the stripped back version of Android designed to run on more modest hardware. Speaking of hardware, the 1.4’s heart – a Qualcomm Snapdragon 215 chip – remains unchanged from last year’s Nokia 1....

We’ve spent a lot of time using the Nokia 7.2, and here’s what we think. Nokia 7.2 price & availability The Nokia 7.2 is now available in the UK priced at just £249, coming in Cyan Green, Ice and Charcoal – the latter being exclusive to Carphone Warehouse. In Europe it’s €299. Nordic-inspired design Nokia claims that the Nokia 7.2 is inspired by “timeless Nordic design heritage”, and while we’re not exactly sure what that means, we do know that the Nokia 7....

The Nokia 8 is a decent phone built for content creators. It stands out for its Carl Zeiss dual rear cameras and 13Mp selfie camera that can be combined in a new ‘Bothie’ mode to capture the full picture, and for its Dual-Sight streaming capabilities and Ozo spatial audio recording. It matches the Galaxy S8 on core specifications, and Nokia promises timely updates to its vanilla Android operating system. But in other respects the Nokia 8 does little to stand out in the crowded market....

The company, founded by OnePlus’s Carl Pei, has so far only launched a pair of wireless earbuds but we’ll soon find out what’s in store for this year. With Pei’s experience in the phone industry, speculation about a Nothing phone has been present since the start. The timing is interesting, not least because a photo showing what we can confirm is Pei in the VIP area of Qualcomm’s booth at MWC (Mobile World Congress) was posted on Twitter by @evleaks just two days ago....

Uno de los motivos principales de esta transición es el cambio de dominio (de “.es” a “.com/es-es”). De este modo, Tech Advisor España surge como una edición de la página en inglés Tech Avisor. Esto tiene su origen, a su vez, en el periodo de transformación de IDG Communications a Foundry, nuestra empresa matriz, y a su plan de centralizar todos nuestros equipos editoriales de páginas de web de tecnología para el consumidor....

Nvidia Shield TV (2017) review: UK pricing and availability It’s also worth noting that unlike with the first-generation Shield TV, the 2017 Shield TV comes with both the Shield controller and remote, although the stand remains an optional accessory available after purchase. Nvidia Shield TV (2017) review: Design and build Before we go into the details of the new Nvidia Shield TV, let’s take a look at its design. While the 2017 Shield TV is almost identical to the 2015 model with an angular design and mix of matte and shiny surfaces for a sleek and sexy look, it’s much smaller than the original....

Now there are growing signs that these phones will also be making their way to new markets, and potentially under a different name. Here’s all you need to know about what’s going down in Reno. When was the Oppo Reno 7 released?

A new survey shows that 87 per cent of parents think it is too easy for children to access inappropriate content on the web. And over a third of children admit they have removed their browsing history at some point to ensure their parents can’t see what they’ve been looking at online and have visited a website they know their parents wouldn’t approve of. With many children either owning their own tablets, games consoles and laptops or borrowing their parents or older sibling’s devices such statistics will concern modern-day parents....

The Pipo X7 has been available for a little while now (we received our sample from Geekbuying back in January). Described as a Windows TV box, you simply plug it into a TV via HDMI (you’ll need to supply your own cable), connect it to the mains (Geekbuying will supply a suitable adaptor for your country) and your TV instantly becomes a Windows 8 PC. We say Windows 8, but the Pipo actually runs 32-bit Windows 8 with Bing....

Zink lacks some of the charm of proper film, but there are advantages too: it’s cheaper, for one, but it also lets you apply a range of filters and effects to photos ahead of printing, and use the camera to create gifs and video too. Since the Pop then prints in the classic square Polaroid format – complete with an oversized bottom border – it’s clear it’s trying to strike a middle-ground between nostalgia and modernity....

Similar to Dolby Atmos which features on the Sonos Arc, the MagniFi 2 offers a surround experience without rear satellite speakers thanks to virtual height channels. Polk says the immersive sound feels like it’s coming from above as well as around you. Providing the sound are four 3in full-range drivers and two 0.75in tweeters with Polk claiming it ‘boasts plenty of brawn to easily outperform traditional soundbars’. There’s also three HDMI ports including one with ARC (audio return channel) as well as optical input....

It’s offers a high-end spec for a home NAS, powered by an Intel Celeron N3060 dual-core processor running at 1.6GHz, with boost speeds up to 2.48GHz.

The reference design is essentially a blueprint for headset manufacturers and audio companies to use to build their own headsets for consumer release. While no manufacturers have announced plans to use the design, it’s a sign that we might see the first Alexa headsets available to purchase in 2019. Qualcomm’s design is a pretty simple set of wireless earbuds with a push button to activate Alexa, which is probably what users should expect from the first wave of products to hit the market....
