DJI is one of the best known consumer drone manufacturers, and the Phantom 2 is a great quadcopter. It has now been superseded by the Phantom 3, reviewed, but it’s still well worth buying.

At £99 the EE Harrier Mini offers a cheap entry point for a phone capable of fast 4G data download speeds, but EE isn’t the only UK mobile operator to offer its own-brand cheap 4G phone. Vodafone has also recently unveiled its Smart Prime 6, and at £79 it arguably offers better value than the Harrier Mini. With very similar specifications, including a 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage and 8-/2Mp cameras, there’s little to differentiate between Harrier Mini and Smart Prime 6....
