At PC Advisor we regularly review power banks, which you can slip into a pocket or bag and use to re-charge your phone, tablet or other USB-powered device whenever you’re running out of juice and away from the mains. However, even the highest-capacity power banks will eventually run out of charge, and then you’re stuck until you next reach mains power. Unless, that is, you buy a solar charger. Harnessing their power from the sun’s rays, solar chargers need never be plugged into a mains power point, and given enough exposure to the sun could mean you never need to pay to charge your phone or tablet again....

But not all survival games are created equally; while there are some phenomenal survival games that’ll provide hundreds of hours of enjoyable gameplay, there are some that are just frustrating to play. We’ve spent some time scavenging, building and surviving, and here’s our choice of the best survival games available to play in 2019.

This year the company has added a few useful features – particularly to its VPN – and keeps the same familiar interface which is easy to use. Like many other security companies, the core malware protection is so good – regularly scoring 100% in independent tests – that it’s now focusing on other types of security. Not just the VPN but also the mobile apps. Windows protection As you’d expect from modern security software, Bitdefender offers multiple layers of protection....

The Black Shark 3 launched in the company’s native China back in March 2020, but we had to wait until May before it arrived in the UK, complete with a bevy of gaming-oriented accessories. Design Everything about the look and feel of this phone screams gaming, and unashamedly so. I often wonder whether every mobile gamer wants such an in your face, imposing design, but that’s a question for the sector as a whole....

Bluboo S8 Plus Price & Availability Bluboo is a Chinese brand, so you’ll need to import one if you wish to use it in the UK. It will work fine over here, with support for all three 4G bands used in the UK, but do note that you may be asked to pay import duty on its arrival and should factor this into the cost. This is calculated at 20 percent of the value on the shipping paperwork....

Following on from the resurrection of the Zeppelin wireless speaker last year, the Panorama 3 aims to deliver “the ultimate one-box immersive audio experience”. Landing almost a decade after the Panorama 2, it is pitched at customers who simply want a plug’n’play upgrade to the sound from their TV. To this end, the Panorama 3 isn’t designed to be used with other speakers like a subwoofer or surround sound satellites....

“A year ago, no one knew anything about BPOS,” he says. “We couldn’t get good advice ahead of time on what to look out for, what to think about. That knowledge wasn’t there. Microsoft didn’t have it. Neither did third-parties.” The dearth of BPOS know-how complicated Majestic Realty’s migration off of its on-premise Exchange servers. It also put a lot of pressure on Grunzweig’s staff. They had to figure out how to configure Outlook for the cloud and how to integrate it with Majestic Realty’s on-premise systems largely on their own....

The UK’s Royal Mail has warned of a spate of text messages and emails which trick residents into handing over their bank details to fraudsters. The scams come in various formats but they all have a common theme: your parcel couldn’t be delivered and you need to take action in order to get it. Whether you receive and email or an SMS, you’ll be told that either you owe a small amount of money for customs fees or that you were out and a new delivery date needs to be arranged, again at a cost of a couple of pounds....

At first glance, the DxO One is a fag packet-sized, grey-and-black lump of indeterminate purpose that sits in your hand weighing about the same as your smartphone. Pull down on a panel on one side and it begins to reveal itself. Slide two-thirds of the way down and a slightly-inset lens is revealed. A quick tug further down makes a Lightning connector pop out for plugging into your iPhone. On the opposite side from the lens is a small LCD screen that provides basic info in use – which shooting mode you’re in and how many shots are left, for example (or your settings in manual mode)....

Here’s why you can ditch the old upright or cylinder vacuum: There’s always been a perception that a cordless vacuum doesn’t have the power to handle that workload, but the Dyson Cyclone V10 turns that on its head. The machine is powered by Dyson’s new V10 digital motor – the firm’s most advanced yet – which spins at speeds of up to 125,000RPM (equating to 2,000 times a second) to drive powerful suction performance....

In fact, Dyson is so confident in the V10 that it’s stopped developing any new corded vacuums at all, investing entirely in cordless. That’s a bold move, but can the V10 back it up? Find out in our review. Dyson Cyclone V10: Price and availability There are three versions of the V10 available, which differ in colour and which attachments you get, but are otherwise identical. Our review unit is the £449....

Sin embargo, nadie es perfecto, y aunque me encantó el Flip del año pasado, tuve que reconocer sus defectos: carga lenta, duración limitada de la batería y una cámara bastante básica para los estándares de los buques insignia. Sin embargo, es evidente que Samsung piensa lo mismo. Por mucho que el Z Flip 4 de este año sea una actualización iterativa (y no nos equivoquemos, lo es), casi todos los ajustes que ha hecho la compañía están dirigidos a mejorar esos puntos débiles, al menos hasta cierto punto....

Elephone P5000 review: UK price and availability Elephone is not a brand we’ve come across in the UK before. This is a grey-market phone shipped to us from Coolicool.com. You can buy it from China for £158.39, or Europe for £208.55. The latter option will cost you an extra £50, but if your phone is picked up by Customs on its way from China you could pay that in Import VAT in any case....
