Summary In our tests we found the Marshall London phone the best for overall audio quality, followed by the Samsung Galaxy S6 in second place and the HTC 10 in third. The Marshall London phone also topped our speaker quality tests, while the Galaxy S6 came out on top for internal audio quality. Introduction There are lots of smartphones out there with various different hardware configurations, from their external / visible hardware, such as their displays and cameras to their internal components that range from processors to antennae....

They are the simplest way to boost sound quality if you’re not planning on using headphones. There are countless on the market and while many cost hundreds, not everyone has that much to spend on a speaker. Luckily, there are loads out there that don’t cost the earth and still provide a decent amount of boom – and they’re not all unknown brands. We’ve featured Denon and Ultimate Ears (UE) here to name two....

Not only can you curate your pictures but you can share your frame details so your friends and family can send you snaps directly. Some frames allow you to upload photos from the cloud, your phone or your socials, while others are simpler and use USB sticks or SD cards to move files over. We explain in our reviews how each one works and how easy it is to use....

While 2-in-1 devices are more popular than ever, that’s never fully materialised. During the pandemic, people around the world rediscovered just how useful laptops can be, and they seem here to stay. However, if you’ve decided to buy a new laptop, deciding what to go for can be very difficult. Even if you’ve decided on a screen size, rough design or brand, there are still so many devices that could be right for you....

Create and restore a backup We should all be routinely backing up our data to prevent a sudden hard disk crash from causing disaster. But, if you haven’t yet adopted this approach then you should take a look at our How to backup Windows 10 guide which shows how to use the software already built-in to Windows 10. With this method you can create copies of your files and folders, all of which can then be restored to the new machine via the File History feature outlined in the article linked above....

(For more on Windows 10, also see: Windows 10 review.) A reader wrote in to Helproom to ask: “I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop that runs Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, I can’t get any updated video drivers for the 256MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 it came with, which means the 17in screen shows an awful, sickness-inducing blurred screen. The update to Windows meant it downgraded to the Microsoft Basic Display Adaptor, which ruined the previously clear picture....

In the case of desktop PCs that can stretch to more than 30in, and that’s before you factor in connecting to an external monitor. All that screen real estate means there’s ample opportunity for multitasking. Windows 10 offers plenty of excellent tools for this, many of which can be accessed via Task View. However, sometimes nothing quite compares to using multiple windows on the screen at the same time, and that’s where Snap Assist comes in....

However, in return you’re handing over a lot of personal data to Microsoft, and we can understand why you might not feel entirely comfortable doing that. A local account means the information will only be stored on that device, instead of through any device in the cloud. While Microsoft provided an easy option for a local account until recently, a May 2019 Windows update removed that option when you boot up Windows for the first time....

The full statement from John Hoffman, CEO of the GSMA published today said: “Since the first edition of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2006, the GSMA has convened the industry, governments, ministers, policymakers, operators and industry leaders across the broader ecosystem. “With due regard to the safe and healthy environment in Barcelona and the host country today, the GSMA has cancelled MWC Barcelona 2020 because the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event....

Pero, hay una diferencia y, en lo que a mí respecta, la falta de una opción “con reloj” es una oportunidad perdida. La razón es obvia para cualquiera que haya usado un Echo Dot con reloj. Ese modelo cuesta solo unos 10 euros más que su hermano sin reloj, pero supone una mejora sustancial. No solo puede sustituir a un reloj físico, sino que la pantalla LED también puede mostrar un temporizador, mostrar la temperatura (tanto exterior como de la habitación, gracias al sensor de temperatura integrado del Echo Dot 5) e incluso indicar qué canción está sonando en ese momento....

That’s no surprise when you consider the range of different manufacturers producing Android handsets across a huge spread of prices, meaning there’s probably an Android out there to appeal to just about any taste.

Outside North America there’s even more competition from big Chinese brands including Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and more....

Contrary to the hopes and expectations of the tech press and enthusiasts alike, intimate details of Nothing’s long-rumoured smartphone weren’t divulged at this particular meeting, with Pei saying little on the subject beyond, “we’re not commenting on future categories.” However, TechCrunch later reported that Nothing was apparently showing off a proof-of-concept behind (other) closed doors at the show, suggesting a phone might make its debut sooner rather than later. Salvatori spent the opening moments of the 15-minute session extolling Pei and his company by saying, “Carl, with his new initiative, has definitely been a dear partner for us....

However, it’s still where you’ll find new features first. Microsoft regularly releases upcoming builds to the Insider Program, allowing members to test out new functionality and provide feedback. If that’s something that interests you, this article may still be of interest, although we wouldn’t recommend signing up to the experimental Dev Channel on your main device. The original article follows below. Windows 11 has gone from abstract concept to official announcement in a matter of weeks, and now you can try out the new operating system for yourself....

The UK’s National Crime Agency along with the FBI, Europol and various security software firms have worked together to temporarily pause the attacks from the Cryptolocker and GOZeus malware. Operation Tovar: in a nutshell Since last Friday, 30th May, law enforcement agencies, internet service providers and tech security firms from 11 countries have teamed up to try and stop infected computers from communicating with each other. It has been fairly effective, but they admit that they can’t keep the criminals’ network down for long....

It was up for debate as to whether the iPad (the 9th-gen if you’re keeping score) was going to be announced at Apple’s California Streaming event in September 2021, but it did, and so too did the iPad mini 6. The iPad might look the same, with the same Space Grey and Silver finishes, but it comes with various upgrades including an A13 Bionic processor, more storage and an improved camera....
