But as I sort through each of them, I’m glad that it was the Google Pixel that captured them. While the phone itself is divisive, its camera is, even by today’s standards, the Pixel’s standout feature, and one that has me most looking forward to the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL. A bright futureFor those who own the Google Pixel, you’re in a real conundrum. So large that I think only the Google Pixel 2 can fill it. Here’s a look back on my year captured with the Google Pixel XL

Walmart has a blue light special today on the Google Home Mini – the new, completely unannounced product from Google that the tech giant was supposed to unveil at its big press event tomorrow, October 4. Instead, a pre-order page for the tiny smart home speaker appeared on Walmart one day ahead of schedule and included both a release date for the speaker (Oct. 19) and price ($49.99). TL;DR: Walmart really shipped the bed on this one. While this is really going to put a bee in someone’s bonnet ov

I’m stood in a central London location, an electroencephalogram strapped to my head while I stare at a piece of art. Using these three tests, the brain scan can figure out which part of my brain is being stimulated by what I’m looking at. How very culturedThe art gallery, generously provided by Saatchi Art, was full of different art styles in different mediums. You take at least 20 seconds looking at each piece, then your subconscious response is fed back to the iPad. My subconscious shopping ca

Network connectivity is a given on any 4K TV these days, although smart platforms vary dramatically between brands. It’s easy enough to add a 4K media streamer, like the Amazon Fire TV box (also certain to get a Black Friday price cut) or Apple TV 4K. There are various types of Black Friday TV deal to be had. The LG E6 might be a year old, but it still looks stunning thanks to its 4K HDR OLED display. Sony super saversIt’s also worth looking out for savings on Sony’s KD-65ZD9 / XBR65X930E 4K HDR

“What’s that you’re paying with?” our server enquired as I reached for the key, to which I smugly replied “my car key” and held it to the terminal.

It then prompted our server to say, and do something remarkable… “Oh my god, that’s so cool, I’m telling everyone!”And that’s exactly what they did. Everyone was impressed, and wan

Evidence is mounting that we’re about to see the announcement of the Google Home Mini, a smaller version of the Google Home smart speaker similar to Amazon’s Echo Dot. This leak comes courtesy of someone who lives near Google’s campus in Silicon Valley, who discovered that the device was available for setup in their Google Home app. This suggests a neighbor had a Google Home Mini (possibly because they work for Google themselves), which during its setup phase anyone within range was briefly able

Western Digital has launched the world’s biggest hard drive which weighs in at 14TB and uses 4th-generation HelioSeal tech. As well as helium, it also utilizes 2nd-generation host-managed SMR to help push that capacity, and also to drive new levels of power efficiency. According to Western Digital, the Hs14 consumes 5.2W at idle (6.4W in typical operation) and boasts a 60% lower idle wattage/TB compared to 8TB air-filled drives. Infrequent failsAs an enterprise drive, reliability is also a big s

And that’s exactly what the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL are attempting to do. The latest Google phone will reportedly be waterproof and ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack. As someone who uses the Google Pixel XL as my daily driver, I’m not a fan of the idea that Google may be stripping away features in its search of a spark. It instills confidence in a business decision unlike Apple’s meager claim of “courage” in removing the headphone jack. If the Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL arrive as we

Some folks who’ve bought Ryzen 5 1600 or 1600X processors have found that their chips have two more cores than expected, which can only be described as a massive win on the CPU lottery. These CPUs should have six cores and 12 threads, but reports on Korean forums (spotted by Wccftech) say some users have found they have eight cores (and 16 threads) out of the box. The processors still run at the clock speeds quoted for the 1600X and 1600, but come with a pair of extra cores. Clocking up the core

In just a few short years, wireless noise-cancelling headphones have turned from a niche sideshow into the flagship product of most audio brands. For a premium audio brand Bowers and Wilkins has been surprisingly late to the wireless noise-cancelling game after having chosen to focus its efforts on purely wireless headphones like the B&W P5 Wireless and P7 Wireless . So the Bowers and Wilkins PX Wireless ($400 / £330) are a big jump for the company. Automating the little things The PX Wireless f
