It’s no good having a phone with a killer display for streaming video or a top-notch camera if it turns into a paperweight after only a few hours of use. For some, long battery life is essential, whether as a means to stay connected to someone or if you’re one to venture out, away from a viable power source, for days at a time. Bad battery life on smartphones is something we’ve all grown to tolerate....
To help with this, we’ve put together a guide to the best ways of protecting your digital life from those that would seek to do you harm.

Huawei was placed on the US’ Entity List back in 2019, effectively banning trade between Huawei and any American company. This caused Google to cease trade with Huawei, and although the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro run open-source Android, they were the first of the company’s handsets that didn’t come with Google Mobile Services (a.k.a. GMS) preinstalled. Sadly, even with the shift to the Biden administration, we don’t see this changing anytime soon, and that’s already proven bad news for the P40 range, Mate 40 series and Mate X2 foldable, as well as the long-delayed P50 series....

Mid-range phones usually offer the best balance of price and performance, packing in high-end features and powerful cameras while still sometimes costing half the price of top flagships, or even less – usually by using cheaper materials or omitting luxury features like wireless charging and waterproofing.

You might want to print a calendar, gig tickets, a boarding pass or some photos you’ve taken on your phone. Many printers are multi-function and therefore also handy for scanning and copying, too. Whatever your needs, buying a new printer can be a confusing process.

What makes a VPN for Chrome different from other VPNs? You can get a VPN in app form, which will be installed on your computer or mobile device and channel all of your internet activity from any browser through VPN servers. However, if you just want to use a VPN in one browser for certain activities, you can do so by installing a VPN Chrome extension. This won’t keep your data as safe as a VPN app would, as it’s not going to encrypt the entirety of your internet use if some of it happens outside of the browser....
