With its sober and business-like cream/charcoal-combination colour scheme, the printer is very much in typical Samsung mould. It can only do a limited amount about improving on the traditionally blocky laser printer design, but rounded edges and a relatively modest footprint help it to melt into the background. It’s a relatively quiet printer, and will happily buzz away on your desk, rather than having to be concealed behind a sound-reducing screen or rubber plant....

Besides being much slower and more fragile than flash storage, another drawback of disk technology is its physical size. These spinning platters make for cumbersome units. Since the rise of the SSD in its now-popular 7mm form, we’ve seen internal notebook hard disks slim down to match, reducing in thickness from 9.5mm to 7mm. Now Seagate has closed the gap again by introducing the Seven, a complete portable hard drive that is itself just 7mm thick....

First, be sure to read our other Gmail tips as there are bound to be some that will make your life easier. If you’re interested only in finding old emails, read on. How to find old Gmail emails: advanced search Sometimes it’s easy to search for an email because you can think of at least one word which will be unique to that email or thread.

In brief, the new subscription service lets you rent a high-spec PC remotely, which you can then access from any PC, Mac, tablet, or phone – or the optional extra Shadow box. You can use that PC to play any of your own PC games – or just, y’know, use it as a PC. It’s up to you. We got the chance to test Shadow out in a briefing ahead of the service’s UK launch, and here’s what we thought....

Sonos Beam: Price and availability When it launched, the Playbar was a pretty expensive £599 and then Sonos went and hiked prices due to the exchange rate between the dollar and pound. It then, and still does, cost £699/$699. That’s more than a lot of TVs on the market so not for the feint hearted. The Playbase, the model that your television sits on top of, has a matching price. Sonos has realised, it seems that not everyone has that much to splash on soundbar so the Beam is a much more reasonable £399/$399....

We weren’t expecting any new phones from Sony for a while considering it launched four in Barcelona last month including the Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XA1. Nevertheless, the Xperia L1 is here to form a new range of more affordable handsets. Sony Xperia L1 release date and pricing info Now Sony has scrapped the quite sensible naming system for its Xperia phones, we’re still struggling to get our collective heads round the new line-up....

Yup, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will feature multiple heroes donning the Spidey suit, and none of them will be played by Tom Holland, who’s played the character in Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Avengers: Infinity War. That’s because this new film is an entirely animated release, set in its own universe (well, spider-verse, we suppose). We’ve had the chance to see it already, and you can go read our review right now to find out what we thought (spoiler: it’s great) or find out about the film’s post-credit scenes....

As well as swapping the 5.4in Mini model for a 6.7in Plus model, offering the big-screen iPhone experience at a more affordable price point, there’s a big jump in camera tech across the range. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus offer improved low-light photography while the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max boast the first ever 48Mp sensor on an iPhone, with cool camera tech that majorly improves overall performance....

For those unfamiliar with the terminology, SSD stands for solid-state drive, and HDD stands for hard disk drive. They’re the two main choices when it comes to storing data in PCs and laptops, but they’re also used in portable hard drives, NAS drives and CCTV recorders. HDDs Hard drives are the older style of storage used in PCs and laptops which employ spinning magnetic discs to store data. Despite predictions that HDD technology had plateaued and would be quickly phased out, manufacturers have managed to develop hard drives to the point where you can now have as much as 14TB or more in a single 3....

The neat cubic design and quick and easy set-up should also appeal to home users too. Just remember that, like most mesh systems, the Nova does not include a modem for Internet access, so you’ll still need to connect it to the existing modem or router that already provides your broadband connection. Tenda Nova MW6: Price The Nova MW6 is certainly one of the most affordable mesh networking systems we’ve come across, costing around £175/US$199 for a kit that includes three identical routers (that Tenda refers to as ‘mesh points’)....

Hudl 2 vs Nexus 9: UK Price While the Hudl 2 and Nexus 9 might be similar because of their operating system, they’re aimed at different audiences. The Hudl 2 comes in at a wonderfully affordable £99 for the solitary 16GB model. However, as you probably know, Tesco lets you pay for the Hudl 2 with Clubcard vouchers. Plus, because of Clubcard Boost, your vouchers are worth twice their face value so £50 of vouchers will buy you a brand new tablet....

Websites often look a lot cleaner when stripped of their ads, making it easier to read without those annoying pop-ups. Pages can also load noticeably faster and, as a bonus on mobile devices, your data plan can go further as the ads themselves aren’t downloaded. On the flip side, advertising exists to support all the free content that everyone expects to find on their favourite websites – including this one – and blocking them denies the creators of that content the revenue that allows them to produce it in the first place....

It’s not just the budget or mid-range phones that I forget about. I used the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, nodded my approval, sent it back to Samsung, and haven’t missed it much since. That means that I sit up and take notice when I use an Android phone that rekindles my years-old love for the platform, and it doesn’t happen very often. The Oppo Find X2 Pro is the most pure fun I’ve had using an Android phone since 2017’s Google Pixel 2 for the same reason that it has made me love everything about Android anew....

Having gone hands-on with this newest Ultra though, there’s no doubt that Samsung is in denial about what this phone actually is. Cast your eyes across the range and the S22 Ultra sticks out like a sore thumb. What Samsung calls “Galaxy Note DNA” effectively means this year’s Ultra drops any pretence of being a member of the Galaxy S family, aesthetically; having effectively cribbed its core design from 2020’s Note 20 Ultra, instead....

A report in the Wall Street Journal (paywall) with industry analysts made the claim following a teardown of the phones to determine the provenance of the components. In the piece a Huawei spokesperson is quoted as saying the company has a “clear preference to continue to integrate and buy components from U.S. supply partners. If that proves impossible because of the decisions of the U.S. government, we will have no choice but to find alternative supply from non-U....

Even with the potential additional charges, the Paris is a decent budget smartphone offering. In common with many Chinese phones it supports two Micro-SIMs, which operate in dual-standby mode. Both support 4G LTE (although only one can be used for data at a time), and the Ulefone Paris covers all three UK 4G LTE bands (3, 7 and 20). It also supports microSD cards up to 128GB capacity and, unlike many of its rivals, doesn’t force you to choose between the second SIM and removable memory....
