One thing we wouldn’t generally consider Fitbit’s devices to be is stylish, but it looks like the company might be trying to change that, with leaked renders showing an attractive watch that’s supposedly the successor to the Fitbit Blaze. They added that the new watch, which is said to be a successor to the Blaze but may or may not be called the Fitbit Blaze 2, is close in size to the original Fitbit Blaze and smaller than the Fitbit Ionic. Image 1 of 5 This could be the Fitbit Blaze 2 in silver

Apple could be planning on producing a MacBook which consists of two displays, replacing the traditional notebook base with a second OLED screen that can function as a keyboard in the same vein as the Touch Bar. This is according to a patent (spotted by Patently Apple), and it would mean in effect that you’d have a traditional MacBook with a virtual OLED keyboard – although this is not the only implementation the document discusses. There may be doubts about exactly how effective such a virtual

It’s starting to look like notches might become a common feature of phones now that Apple has set a precedent with the iPhone X, and the OnePlus 6 could be one of the next handsets to sport one if new leaked images prove accurate. The images, obtained by ITHome, show a small notch jutting into of an otherwise bezel-free screen, housing the camera and earpiece (it’s not particularly easy to see in the image below, but look closely and it’s there). This could be an early look at the OnePlus 6. Cre

Huawei CEO Richard Yu has confirmed to TechRadar the company is working on a third smartwatch, but said it is in no hurry to release it. When asked about the possibility of a third smartwatch, Yu told TechRadar, “It will come later – there’s no hurry because Huawei Watch 2 sells well. We’re not in a hurry, so we’re launching the new watch later.” Probably not with the P20Yu didn’t reveal any exact timing details for the Huawei Watch 3, but his comments about the Huawei Watch 2 continuing to sell

To test this, we pitted the Redmi Note 5 Pro against the OnePlus 5T. Natural lightThe OnePlus 5T captures more details and has better dynamic range than the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Redmi Note 5 Pro (Left) and OnePlus 5T (Right)Artificial lightThe colours look more natural on the Redmi Note 5 Pro but the OnePlus 5T captures more detail in artificial light. The low-light performance, camera speed and higher megapixel count of the 5T dominates the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Since the Redmi Note 5 Pro costs less t

Android Oreo is still M.I.A. on some major flagships (we’re looking at you, Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Note 8), yet the next iteration of Google’s mobile operating system is almost upon us in the form of Android P.As each new version of Android is traditionally named after a candy or dessert, trying to figure out what the next instalment will be called is almost as exciting as the new features it will bring. Okay, that might be a stretch, but it’s definitely a good bit of fun. There are a number of

While the world gears up for a 5G future , the Moon will get its first 4G setup in 2019. That’s one small step for 4G, one giant leap for Vodafone and Nokia. The Moon’s 4G network will be used to support Berlin-based space exploration company PTScientists in studying the satellite’s surface. The mission is being privately funded, with Vodafone Germany, Nokia and car-maker Audi joining forces to make this come to pass. The rovers will be used to send back data and live stream video of the lunar s

When banks, airlines and delivery services urgently need to get in touch with us, they send a text message. So why does Google want to kill-off SMS? “But it’s not branded, so no-one knows who a text message has come from, and there’s no way a company knows if its text message has been read or interacted with.”SMS from businesses are typically codes to check our identity, links to boarding passes, or instructions on when a parcel will be delivered. But they’re a dead-end, interactively-speaking,

Police in the state of Queensland have made a deal with DroneShield in order to secure the Australian company’s signature drone-blocking guns for use at this year’s Commonwealth Games. The gun has a range of 2km and functions by jamming the transmission between the remote control and the unit itself. This disables the video footage and forces the ‘copter to ‘return to home’ or perform a controlled landing. The Games will take place in April this year on Queensland’s Gold Coast and is expected to

In most US states where self-driving car testing is allowed, laws require that a human must always be behind the wheel, just in case. Now, though, California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has announced new regulations that will let autonomous autos drive solo – relatively speaking. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has approved the DMV’s new guidelines for self-driving vehicles; so long as self-driving cars are being remotely monitored by an operator, they will be allowed

Considering the decent app and good image quality, we think it’s the best smart security camera at this price. Canary was one of the first companies to launch a smart security camera, which was simply called the Canary camera. The camera also has night vision – as you would expect from a security camera in 2018. Once connected, you can’t really do all that much with the Canary View through Assistant or Alexa. Ultimately, given the current landscape of budget security cameras right now, we think

Amazon has bought Ring, a smart home tech company that makes video doorbells and other security devices. In June 2017, Ring announced that select Ring Video Doorbells and Security Cameras could be accessed by talking to an Amazon Echo Show or Amazon Fire TV. To today’s announcement, an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement:”Ring’s home security products and services have delighted customers since day one. Ring isn’t the first smart doorbell company Amazon has purchased, either. Which will emer

The Grand Canyon hot air balloon virtual reality (VR) experience showing at HTC’s booth at MWC 2018 has been designed by Janimation VR to take full advantage of the new T-shaped Vive Wireless Adapter on the HTC Vive Pro headset. While it’s smaller and lighter than the original Vive, the Vive Pro with the Vive Wireless Adapter in place still needs a battery pack. Happily, the Wireless Adapter – which is available at the end of summer (price TBC) – works not only on the HTC Vive Pro, but also on t

Today, the car company announced that its self-driving cars are currently cruising on the streets of Miami, mapping their surroundings and assisting in pizza deliveries. Miami’s mayor has given Ford the green light to turn Miami and Miami Beach into a testing playground for Ford’s autonomous vehicles to learn the rules of the road. Last year , Domino’s used self-driving cars to deliver pizzas to Ann Arbor’s hungriest college students; now, it’s bringing that same service to Miami. For now, Domin

A phone like the Samsung Galaxy S9 is only as good as the software powering it. Thankfully, its recently discovered support for Project Treble means that it should be running Android P and Android Q shortly after their release, SamMobile reports. Treble essentially makes phones future-proof from the point of manufacturing by changing the way these phones on the software end. Sometimes, even the best Android phones are left behind because of outdated software. This perfectly describes the Samsung

If you had a sinking feeling that you might not get a new special edition Xbox One S in 2018, you can belay your fears. Microsoft has just announced a new Sea of Thieves special edition Xbox One S that will be released on March 20, 2018. The special edition console in question will come with a 1TB hard drive and a full download of Sea of Thieves, plus a one month subscription to both Xbox Live and Xbox Games Pass. The 1TB Sea of Thieves Special Edition Xbox One S will cost $299/£249 (around AU$3

Asus has just unveiled a trio of new smartphones, namely the Zenfone 5, Zenfone 5Z and Zenfone 5 Lite, and they all pack big screens squeezed into small bodies. The Asus Zenfone 5 meanwhile will be available in the UK from early Q3 (so probably July or August), but no price details have yet been provided.

I’m sitting in a packed auditorium, surrounded by a throng of MWC 2018 attendees, with wires strapped to the back of my neck and wearing the Modius headset. According to Modius’ own site, the headset “generates a low-level electrical pulse that is interpreted by the brain as a signal to become leaner.” That’s one of the reasons the Modius team has labelled the headset a bit of ‘Careable Technology’. This does come with the caveat that this data has been ‘self reported’ by Modius users. If I were

Last year, he told CNBC that Motorola shouldn’t rule out the phone’s return, but nothing has been mentioned since. “So hopefully what you just described [the Motorola Razr brand] will be developed or realized very soon”. He was referring to our question about a possible return for the well-remembered Razr design. Yuanqing’s comments have got us thinking just how Motorola could return to the Razr name. He may have been hinting at an updated version of the Motorola Razr (like how the Nokia 3310 20

In a move that many will see as surprisingly pro-consumer, Apple has reportedly extended the period during which it will repair 2011 iMac models through the end of August this year, according to MacRumors citing an internal memo. As MacRumors surmises, Apple stores are generally able to repair a wide range of parts within a given iMac computer, from its display and hinge to its logic board, storage, memory, graphics card and more. It seems that, after this limited period, the 2011 iMac will offi
