Yet, it needs to get around the reputation our current budget favourite, the Mi A1, has earned for itself. Mi A1The camera UI on Mi A1 is even simpler and allows more space to viewfinder, despite having a smaller screen. But the Mi A1 uses the telephoto lens to measure depth and then uses software to produce background blur.

Animals with Cameras may well sound like a feature idea pitched by Alan Partridge but Gordon Buchanan, the award-winning Scottish wildlife filmmaker behind Tribes and Life in the Snow, fronts the new series that gets up close and personal with nature. In terms of capturing animals, what better way is there than to have the opportunity to develop cameras for them to film themselves and tell their own narrative?” Chris claims that he used, if not deconstructed, tore apart and tested, almost all th

Google has released Chrome 64, with new features to prevent cunningly-disguised ads and noises disturbing your browsing. Chrome’s improved pop-up blocker stops abusive sites from opening new tabs or windows unless you explicitly click a link to do so. Google’s definition of an abusive site is one that’s deliberately misleading. That could include showing messages that look like system errors, or showing ‘close’ icons that don’t work. Alternatively, you can update Chrome manually by re-downloadin

When it was launched, Miitomo was Nintendo’s first attempt to take the mobile world by storm. It wasn’t quite a hurricane, but Miitomo started strongly and the app had a lot of hype around it. That died down pretty quickly, though, and now Nintendo has announced that on May 9, Miitomo will be no more. Nintendo has already stopped selling the in-app currency Miitomo Coins, and when the app shuts down the company has said it will refund users for any coins they purchased and weren’t able to use. M

Huawei is one of the biggest names in Android Wear, thanks to its impressive Huawei Watch and feature-packed but flawed Huawei Watch 2.

More criticism has been levelled at Intel and its partners in patching up the huge Meltdown and Spectre flaws – including Apple and Microsoft – by US lawmakers, who aren’t entirely happy about the way the whole episode has played out. And more specifically, the manner in which disclosure was delayed and generally handled. Although as it turned out, news of the security bugs leaked a week early, just as the New Year kicked off. Particularly given the fact that the disclosure embargo was broken a

At least, that’s what Philips has been saying this year at its annual TV announcement event. Instead, the future of premium TVs is now decisively all about the OLED, and to make its point Philips has revealed an all-new model, the Philips 803, which will make its 2018 lineup three-strong. There’s no illuminated Philips logo adoring the bottom edge of the frame, and there’s no chunky stand getting in the way between it and your TV cabinet. Instead, the set uses a pair of sticks for feet, which ra
