If the Fusion 500 doesn’t scratch that gaming headset itch, take a look at our selection of the best gaming headsets to help point you in the right direction. ROG Strix Fusion 500: Pricing and availability That certainly makes the ROG Strix Fusion 500 a tempting option for PC gamers, especially with a high-end build, virtual 7.1 surround sound support and the ability to work on consoles too. ROG Strix Fusion 500 review In terms of design, the ROG Strix Fusion looks slick....

Some of its more breathtaking features include a 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front camera with ultra-fast f2.0 lens, dual-LED flash and HDR, long-lasting 2470 mAh battery which can last for an entire day, 1.4 GHz Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, 2 GB RAM, 12.7 cm (5) HD display, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 16 GB internal storage and Android Lollipop v5.1.1 OS. The well known and senior XDA developer squid2 has recently developed the famous TWRP custom recovery for Moto G 3rd Gen smartphone....

In design the R1 Mk3 Tabletop Radio is striking, both elegant and simple. We love the handcrafted wooden cabinet, with rounded edges and sides. On the front sits a simplistic rectangular display. This OLED panel is sharp and clear, and allows you to specify one of four brightness levels: low, medium, high and off. We were pleased to find you can choose different brightness levels for when the device is on standby or mid-flow....

A major part of that expenditure is the discrete video card, and there is little point in getting a really good one if your monitor can only handle 60Hz – you can take a look at the best monitors of 2017 here. For those that want to tick almost every box in their gaming PC checklist, Samsung has created the C32HG70. A 32” 1800R curved panel that can handle a 144Hz refresh with FreeSync, uses quantum dot technology for amazing colours and is even HDR10 compliant....

It follows Samsung’s recent Gear S2 smartwatch, which is something of a flagship product and has a high-end price to boot. The Charm, comparatively, retails for €40 over the Channel in France. Samsung Charm: UK price Judging by the French price of €40, we expect the Charm – if it comes to the UK – to be around the £40 mark. This represents an interesting move by Samsung, and positions the Charm below similarly spec trackers such as the Misfit Shine 2....

An excellent 10.1in 2560×1600 IPS screen adorns the front, surrounded by slim bezels and the now standard three button controls. Framing the chassis is a metal, grooved band which also holds the volume & power buttons, dual speakers, S-Pen, Micro SD and Micro USB slots. On the rear is a plastic/faux leather cover with pretend stitching all around the edges. You’ll either love this or hate it: we think it cheapens the device, making it look dated and a little daft....

The Galaxy Alpha seems to be the start of yet another new range from Samsung, which is known for its tactic of launching smartphones in almost every size, shape, spec, price and colour it can think of....

Samsung Galaxy announcements are always exciting, but this update doesn’t appear to be as big as previous years. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: the Galaxy S8 still rides high in our phone charts. But don’t assume the Galaxy S9 isn’t worth a look over the Galaxy S8: DxO Mark says it is the best camera phone on the market, and better even than the Pixel 2 and iPhone X....

The concept device that’s been spotted has led many to wonder whether its adaptable form could serve as a replacement for the company’s now-defunct Galaxy Note line and as an alternative form factor to the current Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3. Here’s what we know so far about what might be called the ‘Galaxy Z Roll’. What features does the Galaxy Z Fold Scroll/Z Roll have? The first breadcrumb in this latest trail – as retweeted by established Samsung tipster, Ice Universe – showed Samsung Electronics’ VP, Jay Y....

Featuring a 3840 by 2160 pixel resolution, the LU32D97KQSR, known to its friends as the UD970 or U32D970, offers the equivalent of four full-HD monitors rolled into one, allowing you to scrutinise your images in the finest detail, but this display is about much more than resolution. Covering 100 percent of the Adobe RGB colour gamut, the UD970 is capable of displaying a massive range of colours; going far beyond what standard monitors can reveal and matching the capabilities of professional digital cameras....

That’s not to say the cameras not any good, of course, and Sony is well-known for its excellent image quality. The Xperia XZ1 has a Motion Eye camera with Exmor RS image sensor that supports super-slow-motion video at 960fps. Predictive Capture can also help ensure you never miss the moment, automatically buffering images as soon as it detects action or a smile without you needing to press the shutter button....

We haven’t seen the iPhone 8 models in the flesh yet so we’re comparing these phones on paper. Price Historically, Sony Xperia phones have been up there with the most expensive phone around. However, as others have pulled away, the firm has wisely kept the price of the Xperia XZ1 down to an extent. At £599, you’ll save a cool £100 compared to the cheapest iPhone 8. You can buy the XZ1 SIM-free from Carphone Warehouse or on a contract from all major UK operators such as Vodafone (from £40 per month)....

The Xperia Z3 is on sale at £549 inc VAT for the 16GB model. There is a 32GB model likely to be available in some territories. It’s newer than is the HTC One M8 so you are less likely to find a bargain when shopping around. In essence, both of these phones cost the same. But the HTC One M8 is marginally easier to find, and therefore a little easier to get a little cheaper....

That’s a problem because some smart speakers, such as the Apple HomePod, aren’t really compatible with Spotify. Without proper, native integration, the experience of streaming music from Spotify isn’t nearly as good but it seems that’s all about to change. In February 2018, three job ads were spotted by MusicAlly one of which is Senior Project Manager Hardware Production. And it isn’t the first time that job ads have suggested the company is moving into hardware....

Here’s our complete and comprehensive review of the SwitchBot WiFi. Let’s look at what this great Home Security device has in store. SwitchBot Lock Overview The SwitchBot WiFi Smart Lock is simply great. It is minimalistic in design and extremely smart when it comes to smart features.

Synology does offer four-bay devices such as the DS414 and DS415+, but unusually also has five-bay NAS drives in its extensive range – usually aimed at more data-hungry applications demanded by businesses and home power users. The DS1515+ is the latest such five-bay NAS from Synology, derived from the original DS1010+ launched in 2010, and now sporting a quad-core Intel Atom processor running at 2.4 GHz. Synology DS1515 review: Features and specs What we have here though is the DS1515+ ‘lite’, based on the same chassis but with a lower-spec ARM processor and a little trimming to the ports arrangement....

Just like the TCL 30 phones revealed at the same time, some of these devices were originally teased at CES last month but we now have more details on the TCL Tab 10 HD 4G, Tab 10s 5G, and Nxtpaper Max 10. The Tab 10 HD is the cheapest and is pretty much what it says on the tin, with a 10in HD display, although a Full HD version will arrive in late March for €199....
