New phones require Samsung to produce a new Gear VR to fit around them, and so it is with the rather beautiful new Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus phones (here’s the difference). The new Gear VR isn’t much different from the previous model – but there’s now a separate controller that does make a radical difference to both to how you use it, and what experiences you can have with it....

Samsung Portable SSD T3 2TB review: Price SSDs have plenty of advantages in terms of their robustness and speed, but whether that will persuade you to pay ten times more is debatable. There are cheaper options in the range, starting with the 250GB version which costs around £95 (37p per GB) and moving up to the 500GB which is around £150 (30p per GB). Samsung Portable SSD T3 2TB review: Features and design The T3 is a stylish, well-made device....

Gone are the endless shattering of records. It’s now more about how much you can save – both in power and in pounds. This Scan PC comes with a piece from the new Devil’s Canyon range and, as with Haswell, provides an increase that’s merely incremental rather than revolutionary. Admittedly, the 3.5 GHz Intel Core i5-4690K is the lesser of the new chips, and is designed to replace the 3....

It’s worth timing your purchase to coincide with a sales event like Black Friday and watching out for new models around the corner, but you probably won’t regret it at any time of the year. However, the announcement of Windows 11 muddies the waters. Microsoft’s new desktop OS brings about significant visual and functionality changes to the Windows experience, and it’s something most of the 1.3bn+ Windows 10 users can upgrade to....

That money gets Sony a minority 1.4% stake in Epic Games, meaning the deal values Epic Games at an astonishing $17.86 billion according to a press release.

Surface Pro 3 vs Surface 3 comparison: what are they? The simple answer is that both the Surface devices are Windows tablets – slates that run full Windows 8. But the truth is better, if more nuanced. The Surface Pro 3 is a game changer: the first truly portable power PC. It is both a Windows tablet, and a more-than-useful Windows laptop. With all-day battery life and full PC power in a slate that you can slam into your backpack, the Surface Pro 3 is more MacBook Air than iPad, and in a much smaller device....

Note: Ubisoft has announced the sequel. Read all about The Crew 2, which is scheduled to come out in early 2018. The Crew is a massively multiplayer racer which means it’s best played online – it can’t really be played offline. The undoubted highlight is Ubisoft’s scaled-down map of the United States which offers a huge and varied open world to drive around with practically no restrictions. (See also: Grid Autosport review) The game promises a lot, calling itself a ‘next-gen driving game’, but while there are moments of brilliance and gratification, there are arguably too many failings to make The Crew great overall....

The iron is a new take on the first product launched by the Funky Appliance Company. The independent British company kicked off a couple of years ago with the first iteration of the Funky Iron, which was initially crowdfunded to the value of £100,000. The Funky Appliance Company takes small household appliances and gives them a design-led overhaul. The signature look is retro space age, curved and shiny. There doesn’t seem to be much that’s revolutionary about the products’ functionality but in a marketplace focused on functional-looking items, it’s always nice to see design-led items that don’t have a premium price tag....

In the drive to use less paper and adopt more efficient workflows, many businesses – even smaller businesses – are making more use of PDFs. Sadly, doing so isn’t always easy. While it’s not hard to find free apps to read PDF files, finding effective tools to edit PDF can be a lot more challenging. On the one hand, the big-name professional packages are expensive, with complex features and interfaces that go beyond the average small business’s requirements or expertise....

The short answer is that you’d be right. If you can afford it, get the latest standard as you’ll benefit later as you acquire more Wi-Fi 6 devices. The Deco X60 looks quite pricey compared to many Wi-Fi 5 mesh systems, but as it’s dual-band rather than tri-band, it’s not even close to the most expensive tri-band options (such as the Netgear Orbi). As well as being a bit more affordable, the X60 also claims to provide 7,000 square feet of Wi-Fi coverage, or 650m²....

The Hammer S adopts the same aviation-grade aluminium frame as the older UMI Hammer, but now features 2.5D curved glass. It’s a good-looking phone, and should prove pretty tough. Larger in size and weight than the 5in Hammer, the Hammer S has a 5.5in HD screen and a higher-capacity 3200mAh battery – an important upgrade for those who have found it difficult to get the 2250mAh battery inside the Hammer through a full working day....

Some of these include 5.5 inches Optic AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 64 GB internal memory, 6 GB RAM, Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 Quad-core processor, Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery, 16MP rear camera and 8MP front camera. Moreover, it runs on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system. If you are an Android geek like me, who is never satisfied with the specs and always wants something more to try on their phones, then you would want to root or install custom firmware on it....

But more importantly, Galaxy A5 has a bigger screen and improved camera quality than Alpha. It has a complete metal body with a weight of as low as 123g. It looks great when viewed in ambient and low light conditions. Due to its sleeky design Galaxy A5 looks nearly like iPhone. Galaxy A5 has a similar processor to the A3 i.e. quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A53 processor with Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 64-bit chipset....

Volt Bikes is a UK-based manufacturer and has a wide range of electric bikes from folding and commuter bikes right up to the hardcore Bigfoot.

So, How will you create a QR Code? Do you need any special tools for creating the code? Before jumping to that, let’s try to understand a bit about QR codes. What is QR code? QR (Quick Response) code is a machine-readable code formed using an array of black and white squares. It can be read using a QR code reader app, scanner or the camera of your smartphone.
