The Fitbit Blaze is a good few years old now, but it's still one of the company's most popular fitness trackers so there are a huge selection of bands to choose from to change the look on your wrist. If you want to restyle your fitness tracker and smartwatch hybrid, you can do it easily by buying either a new strap or an accessory to change its look and make it feel like new again. Below we've put together some of our favorite bands and accessories that you can team up with your Fitbit Blaze so you can redesign its look and provide a whole new look. These are products that we haven't had in our test labs, but based on our experts' opinion and knowledge of the most reputable brands around, we think these are worth looking at. Our selections, ranked from cheapest to most expensive, take into account online reviews, brand reputation, product capability or unique features to help you pick through the maze of choices available to you.

The Wearlizer Silicone Classic Band also comes in a huge range of colors, so whether you’re more into an understated dark blue or a flashy hot pink it’s got you covered. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QzN3SQTbBtz3b5tow63mEY.jpg Image Credit: SnowCinda Fancy a good looking band so you can wear your Fitbit Blaze to a big meeting at work? This may be the best choice for you if you don't want to spend much money. This is the cheapest leather band we can find for the Fitbit Blaze. There are some other leather options down below in this list - including one directly from Fitbit - but if your main concern is saving money, this is a great buy. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mrjUTZSn8wmMCuS9qw4quD.jpg Image Credit: Greatfine This rugged case from Greatfine is overkill for most situations, but if you’re a fan of extreme sports, or just unusually clumsy, it could be a life (or at least watch) saver. The chunky frame provides a large lip over the screen, so you can lie your watch flat without the display coming into contact with anything, and the strap is shock resistant, so your Blaze is more likely to come out of a tumble in one piece. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kog5ammVu8BhNHQEzeporD.jpg Image Credit: Wearlizer The official leather band for the Fitbit Blaze is also quite pricey, and while we wouldn’t exactly call the Wearlizer Crazy Horse strap cheap, it’s substantially less expensive. But that’s not the only reason to opt for it, as the Wearlizer band is also a distinctly different style to the official one, with white stitching complementing the black or brown leather. It gives the strap an altogether more casual, playful look. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/86a4c4f21a7f3fbde366427df3712fbe.jpg Image Credit: Fitbit There isn't the same range of accessories for the Fitbit Blaze as there is for something like the Fitbit Flex, but there are still some compelling choices, especially when it comes to straps. Out of the box you get a fairly sporty elastomer band, which looks good in the gym but not in the bar. If you want to keep wearing the Blaze all day you might want to consider a more formal band, like this leather number which comes in Black, Camel or Mist Gray. It gives the wearable the look of a normal wristwatch, albeit a chunky one - but you will need to get good at clipping those bands in and out. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UsTEfXfCXWnNcmkAxEBRvL.jpg Image Credit: Fitbit Don't like a thick band around your wrist? Maybe you'll want to opt for this Fitbit Blaze strap that comes in a bold pink color and is made directly by the manufacturer. It won't be to everyone's taste, but this silicone band looks unlike anything else you can buy for the Fitbit Blaze right now.

2019 can be the year of new beginnings; it’s a chance for businesses to strategise and harness new technologies to improve their services and operations, while expanding revenue streams. So, how can businesses do this – and why is servitisation important in enabling them to do this successfully? Spot trends in your data with the best business intelligence toolsBe more productive at work with the best business accessoriesGet more done with the best business computersMaximising value In a world with an abundance of technology platforms to choose from, often the biggest challenge businesses come up against is understanding what system is most relevant to them. It can be hard to keep track and businesses risk falling into the trap of focusing on new products and how to bring them to market at speed, rather than on what is relevant to them. Instead, they need to recognise how to yield the biggest return-on-investment (ROI) and avoid being dazzled by the latest tech on offer. Only then does change become achievable. Enter the role and rise of ‘servitisation’. ‘Servitisation’As a term often used by manufacturers, servitisation refers to the delivery of a service regime in tandem with the original product. Let’s take smart home devices as an example. Today, developments in the white goods industry mean that the days of home owners reporting a fault with a device are soon to be gone. The device simply recognises its own faults and automatically orders a replacement – or books in an engineer to come and fix it. This not only makes life easier for the customer, but ensures the business offering this service develops a strong relationship with the customer based on rapid service. Essentially, servitisation helps ensure that the business can offer everything needed to an individual. Think of it like this: if a business can develop a range of services and products that can be offered alongside pre-existing products already on sale, then it’s offering a value-add to its customer base – and gets a deeper revenue stream in return. This model ensures that a customer relationship does not end after a single purchase. It enables businesses to earn increased revenue on a longer-term basis by providing a wider range of services. Examples include the use of monitoring and diagnostics, predictive maintenance, pay-per-use models, and a host of other smart services. Whilst servitisation is nothing new, it’s more relevant than ever before. With technology now holding the key to the heart of more and more businesses, it is essentially now one of the most important factors in helping businesses to remain competitive when it comes to a growing range of B2C and B2B services. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vkFTwcSah6wVwFZmKuxso.jpg Image Credit: Shutterstock The longer term benefitsThere’s no denying that all business leaders want to secure long-tail revenues and form longer-term relationships with their customer base. Despite these benefits, however, servitisation has not been adopted or championed by everyone. This is because it is based on moving data. With 43% of businesses experiencing a cyber breach in 2018, it’s hardly surprising that trust in data quality and security is in decline. Yet, trust in data is a critical success factor when it comes to servitisation. Not only does it increase the number of touchpoints a business has with its customers, but also strengthens the relationship and expected ROI. Businesses need to ensure they have control over their data and its security before spreading themselves too thin and potentially opening themselves up to vulnerability – but that doesn’t mean they should throw the baby out with the bathwater and avoid adopting digital competencies altogether. It's time to think boldly if we are to make a success out of servitisation. It’s about more than offering just a product. It’s about offering a product with services that ensure the business becomes invaluable to the individual. Be it an exceptional customer service, analytics or more than one delivery option – these seemingly small things can make all the difference. At a time in which our political and economic futures are looking increasingly uncertain, businesses must think outside the box to ensure they are ahead of the game, and more importantly, the competition.

If you’ve been experiencing issues with Metro Exodus and your GeForce RTX graphics card – or indeed if you have a lower-end PC, as these have also been struggling with the game – then help is hopefully at hand courtesy of a new patch. The patch (version 1.0.1.1 on the Epic Games Store, version 1.0.0.1 on Steam – for those who pre-ordered on Valve’s platform before the game went exclusive to Epic) contains fixes and optimization measures for RTX GPUs. There are also DLSS fixes and “improvements to sharpness” (DLSS being Nvidia’s much-touted frame rate accelerating tech, another benefit of RTX graphics cards alongside ray tracing). 4A Games also promises that Metro Exodus has been better optimized for lower spec PCs, so if you have a machine which isn’t much above the minimum requirements for the game, then with any luck, everything will run a bit more smoothly now. So how did Metro Exodus fare in our full review?Epic Games Store: here's how it could take on SteamBest PC games of 2019: the must-play titles for this yearA raft of general stability fixes have also been implemented here, which will doubtless be useful too, and a new ‘bug trap’ tool has been added. The latter captures information on any crash that occurs and spits out a diagnostics report which you can send to the developer via the game’s support site. Obviously that could help to cure common problems going forward, and the devs promise anonymity, with no user identifiable data collected in the diagnostics (and you can review the report yourself before you send it). Future’s too bright?From what we’ve seen, the reception to the patch has been broadly positive, at least going by comments on Steam. The update for DLSS supposedly now makes it usable, and the results sound impressive, but there’s a reported issue in that enabling DLSS effectively breaks HDR (blowing out the brightness levels), at least for some folks. There’s seemingly still some work to be done, then, but at least we’re making progress in the right direction. As we saw at launch, the post-apocalyptic shooter got off to a very shaky start on the PC, with the game’s EXE file going missing (yes, just a minor omission) – and even after that was swiftly fixed as you’d expect, PC gamers continued to report problems with the game crashing just after it had been fired up.

Huawei has put its well-documented challenges to one side ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) by touting the capabilities of its 5G equipment portfolio to mobile operators. The company is facing exclusion from several countries’ rollout of 5G due to fears of national security – allegations Huawei has repeatedly denied. But there is little appetite among mobile operators for a ban as they fear this would increases prices and decrease innovation. Speaking at a pre-MWC event in London, the head of Huawei’s carrier business group Ryan Ding said the firm’s kit would make it easier and cheaper to deploy and maintain 5G networks. “As of today, we have shipped more than 47,000 5G base stations and won more than 30 commercial contracts worldwide,” he said. “This is exciting progress.” What is 5G? Everything you need to knowHuawei founder: US cannot crush usHuawei details 5G base station and modem chipsHuawei’s 5G promiseDing espoused the benefits of its equipment over the competition, claiming Huawei’s ability to offer end-to-end 5G solutions that cover device, network and data centre would give it an advantage, noting the recent announcement of its Tiangang base station chip. He also said that cheaper, smaller and lighter kit meant it only required four man-hours to upgrade a site from 4G to 5G compared to seven and a half for 3G to 4G. Not only that, there is no need to hire a crane. During the presentation, Huawei detailed new base station technology such as the 5G AAU 64T64R, which is purported to offer 20 times the capacity of a traditional base station while being three times smaller. In addition to the cost savings in upgrading sites, Ding argued 5G operators save operational costs. Huawei believes as much as half of operator spending is on maintenance, with energy bills a significant contributor. “Our base station energy consumption is at least 30 per cent lower than our competitors,” said Ding. “If you use Huawei 5G base station, then 90 per cent of sites don’t need an upgraded AC power supply.” “With the equipment we announced this morning, the cost-per-bit with 5G will be reduced by five to ten times. “I firmly believe that all of our competitors have usable 5G base stations. However usable is different from good. I strongly urge you to compare our products with the competition in terms of power, size and power consumption.” http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/3oeGuzKVRYbVRoTQg3UfW6.jpeg UK a 5G leader?During his presentation, Ding participated in the “world’s first” 5G multi-operator call with representatives from EE, Three and Vodafone and declared the UK to be a leader in 5G. When asked by TechRadar Pro to elaborate, Ding explained: “Globally, for 5G development, South Korea is the fastest and the UK is one of the fastest to deploy 5G in Europe … the UK was the first among European countries to release spectrum and operators are very innovation minded and open to new technologies. “That’s why for the last few years we’ve been working with almost all the operators in the UK in the innovations released to base stations and overall site solutions for 5G.” In general, Huawei is optimistic about 5G. It is encouraged by the accelerated rate of smartphone development, claiming this is the first generational shift in which the mobile ecosystem hasn’t lagged behind infrastructure. It predicts it will take just three years to get 500 million connections, compared to the five years it took 4G to achieve the same figure. “At MWC next week, you might see that the 5G phones are a more popular topic than 5G base stations … and there might be more vendors showing 5G phones than there were for 4G in 2011,” said Ding. “The economy might have an impact on 5G [adoption], but generally speaking we are optimistic.” The elephant in the roomBut there is always an elephant in the room. The US effectively frozen Huawei out of its telecoms infrastructure for some time, but Australia has issued a formal ban for 5G and other countries have also expressed concerns. When asked what impact this will have on the company’s record revenues, Ding replied: “In 2019, I believe we will have better growth as 5G is coming. I can say that there is some impact in some countries, but not in 95 per cent of our markets. “In [some] markets, Huawei has become a very popular topic and we have become better known so in many ways [the US’s actions are] free advertising. What’s more, because of the security pressure from the industry, Huawei is even more motivated to improve our products and engineering. “I believe this misunderstanding will exist for some time but if we continue to create the best products and services and be more transparent … this [scrutiny] will [eventually] turn into new opportunities.” Here are the best Huawei phone deals for February 2019 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/4XDWD3wGrlg

So you've chosen either the Fitbit Alta HR or the Fitbit Alta - here are our favorite accessories for your tracker, including a selection of bands and extra add-ons you might want to buy. You should note that some of the accessories on this list may not work with the newer Fitbit Alta HR, but we've also clearly stated which ones we are certain to work with your newer tracker. These are products that we haven't had in our test labs, but based on our experts' opinion and knowledge of the most reputable brands around, we think these are worth looking at. Our selections, ranked from cheapest to most expensive, take into account online reviews, brand reputation, product capability or unique features to help you pick through the maze of choices available to you. Check out our guide to the best Fitbithttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oLBJtffHtgTHvhHowMbnYo.jpg Image Credit: Cotop The screen on your Fitbit Alta/Alta HR can easily get damaged, so we'd recommend you take a look at getting a display protector for your wearable. These are cheap and should mean you won't scratch up the display when you put the Alta down or if you bump your wrist into anything. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dYY38hawAXeXowDEKk663f.jpg Image Credit: Tomall There are lots of replacement bands on this list, but what if you don’t want to wear your Fitbit Alta on your wrist? In that case you might want to consider this clip holder from Tomall. It works with both the Alta and the Alta HR, and includes both a silicone holder for the Fitbit and a stainless steel clip, which you can use to attach it to a belt, a pocket, or any other piece of clothing. The clip is also available in twelve different colors, so you’re sure to find a shade you like, and it’s cheap enough that you could buy several, so there’s always one to match your outfit or mood. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/w6r8CCoeWFvMKUAxBzefYo.jpg Image Credit: Degbit Want your Fitbit Alta in a metal band? Here's one of the best cheap options we could find that will work on your Fitbit Alta. It's made of stainless steel and comes with a link remover tool in the box, so you should simply be able to swap it out and make sure the metal strap fits your wrist properly. Whether this band will work with the Fitbit Alta HR is uncertain. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mhvbJsLPNdfFoJnfPNoZHH.jpg Image Credit: DingTool We’ve included a screen protector elsewhere on this list, but it’s not just the Fitbit Alta’s screen that can get damaged, it’s also the body of the device. With that in mind you might want to consider this sleeve protector from DingTool. It fully covers and protects the sides of your Fitbit, as well as the edge of the screen – combine it with a screen protector for complete protection. It also comes in a 10-piece multi-pack with each one being a different color, so you can swap to a new shade every day of the week, or whenever you feel like it. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/uUrx3L2Jn9YnVxeX7pg9Zo.jpg Image Credit: Wearlizer Here's the cheapest leather band we can find for the Fitbit Alta, and it should give you a more stylish look than the silicone option included in the box. It's not as premium as the leather option supplied by Fitbit, but then it doesn't cost anywhere near as much either. There's no certainty this will work with the Fitbit Alta HR though as Wearlizer hasn't updated its listing yet. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/67ei6NbmQ7Mtbb2kAdMDZo.jpg Image Credit: Fitbit Metal not your thing? If you're after a classier look for your Fitbit Alta or Alta HR, this is the option to go for over the silicone or third-party metal bands. There are three color options to go for - grey, brown or pink - plus it looks comfortable and should look good when in an office setting or on a night out. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/scQKkj3pGLbUoAdytaMdYo.jpg Image Credit: Fitbit The Fitbit Alta and Alta HR both come with a fairly plain yet functional strap, but if you've got money to spare you can upgrade it to a far more stylish and premium one like this metal offering. It's made from stainless steel and looks far more like something that you'd wear by choice than just as a means to track your fitness. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bGDRrfBcLdScTSkmEyZL.jpg Image Credit: Public School A collaboration with US designers Public School, this bracelet can be bought directly from Fitbit – always good for peace of mind when buying expensive products. Turning the fitness tracker into a fashion watch, it’s made from surgical grade stainless steel but while it looks great, it isn’t sweat proof so not one to use in the gym. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/KHx4BiE6Bmn5i8YaeiWb3.jpg Image Credit: Public School The second design from Public School is military-inspired with gunmetal stainless steel hardware. This is a band that’s more about the looks than function, as it’s not water proof or suited to intense workouts. It’s fine for day to day walks though. But watch out, as with most loose-fitting accessories, if you have an Alta HR, the heart rate monitoring may not work.

One of the new features of Samsung’s Galaxy S10 range is Bixby key customization, which lets you choose what the Bixby button on the side of the phone does. Now Samsung has confirmed that this feature will also come to its other Bixby-enabled devices, in order to encourage more users to interact with its somewhat maligned voice assistant. Bixby lets phone users navigate their handset via voice commands, but it hasn’t caught the public imagination as much as other personal assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant, and Samsung is clearly trying to change that by improving its accessibility on older devices. Read our hands-on Samsung Galaxy S10 reviewRead our hands-on Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus reviewRead our hands-on Samsung Galaxy S10e reviewThe pre-S10 Samsung devices that have Bixby are the Galaxy S8 and S9, Note 8 and Note 9, and each of these will be receiving key customization. The one requirement is that the handset needs to be running Android Pie – but most of these devices already use the latest version of Android, and it’ll be reaching the rest soon. Key customization means that pressing the Bixby key in different ways activates different options – instead of simply pressing it once to open the assistant, that function can be mapped to either a single or double-press. The other press can then be assigned to open a specific app, such as Spotify or a social media platform. Samsung hasn’t confirmed when exactly key customization will reach the pre-S10 devices, only stating it "will be available via a software update", but we don’t expect to be waiting long. Bixby key customization is a minor addition alongside the Galaxy S10’s stable of other new features – the 'punch-hole' front camera, Snapdragon 855 chipset and wider screen are far more appealing to users than easier Bixby usage – but by adding the feature to older devices Samsung will be hoping to encourage users of its older phones to make more use of a feature they may not have embraced to date.

Even though it's just begun, 2019 is going to be a great year for 4K TVs. From new QLED TVs from Samsung, to preposterously cool OLEDs from LG, this is going to be one of the most exciting years in recent history. 'But TVs are always changing' you might think. 'What makes this year a good year?' Moreso than any other year before it, these screens pack in more technology than ever. To that end, you can expect more models High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) that really make the most of those extra pixels. While the vast majority of the screens you'll find below are from last year's stock (hey, it's not our fault the year's just begun) we do have our eyes set on some of the best 4K TVs of 2019 that we saw during CES 2019. To that end, keep an eye out for reviews of the LG Signature Series OLED TV R, Sony Master Series Z9G and TCL 8-Series, all of which will be reviewed in the next year. But with so many options out there, narrowing down a year's worth of high-caliber screens to just eight is a tough job. That said, the list you'll find below is what we believe to be the best 4K TVs on the market. If you recently bought something in the 40-inch TV range that was great and you don't see it on this list, it doesn't mean we've intentionally snubbed it. Unfortunately best-of lists are tiny and we can only squeeze so many screens on here. We're always adding more screens to this list, so be sure to check back this time next month. What is 4K? Watch the video below to find out: What are the best 4K TVs in 2019?http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/F9wAaHnVQXnyPVnqJJyMUF.jpg Samsung Q9FN 4K TV After an underwhelming debut, Samsung’s QLED technology really needed to bounce back in style in 2018. It didn't surprise us in the least, then, to discover Samsung threw the kitchen sink in with its new Q9FN QLED Series of 4K TVs. As well as being even brighter and more colorful than last year’s equivalent model, Samsung's 2018 flagship screens use a completely different lighting system to combat its predecessor’s contrast problems: Full Array Local Dimming rather than edge-lit LED lighting. The FALD panel works in tandem with Samsung QLED Quantum Dots to produce a picture that's brighter and more colorful than near any we've seen come from the South Korean manufacturer. Do those features alone make Samsung Q9FN the best 4K TV on the market? No, but throw in technology like HDR10+ and Q HDR EliteMax – what Samsung bills as its maximum High Dynamic Range experience that’s exclusive to the Q9FN – and there's very little doubt in our mind that this is Samsung's best TV ever.

It's here because it combines an impressive picture, an extensive set of features, an attractive design and its unrivaled smart platform, to deliver one of the best TVs we have seen to date. It’s not as bright as an LCD TV but those deep blacks make a huge difference to the dynamic range of the image. It’s also capable of vibrant and gorgeous colors, not to mention an astounding level of detail with native 4K content. There are other OLEDs worth considering this year (see: Sony's A1E and A8F OLED or LG's own E8 and W8 OLED models) but we think the OLED C8 offers the best price-to-performance ratio of any TV under the sun in the year 2018.

Much better than last year's A1E, the A9F is unquestionably Sony’s best OLED offering to date, and would've been the best OLED of the year if the C8 didn't exist. While we experienced some minor issues (notably Black level crushing on Dolby Vision, and that Netflix Calibrated mode), niggles are to be expected on a set as ambitious as this. If you can live with the slightly idiosyncratic design, and afford the asking price, it’s a glorious UHD display.

The E8 OLED loses a bit of ground sonically from its predecessor, and it can be hard to justify the cost when stacked against the almost identical C8 OLED - but, if none of that stops, you rest assured that the E8 is still one of the best 4K TVs of 2018.

Every one of the improvements Sony has introduced over and above last year’s already excellent X900E series – better processing, more brightness, slightly more backlight dimming zones, improved motion performance – delivers the goods, resulting in picture quality that humbles many more expensive TVs. Its Android TV system and some generally minor backlight clouding stop it short of perfection, but it’s hard to imagine any similarly priced upcoming 65-inch UHD rival getting the better of it.

But that’s not always realistic: for the vast, vast majority of us, our budget to spend on a 4K UHD TV is limited to somewhere under $1,000 – and often it's even less than that. To that end, it’s absolutely fair to say that the TCL 6-Series is the best TV you can possibly get in this price range. Its performance per dollar is unmatched and its picture quality – despite a few minor flaws – will truly impress you. Said simply, if there’s a better value 4K TV on the market, we’ve yet to see it.

Ambient Mode adds a design aesthetic sure to please even the keenest of eyes and its low-latency game mode makes it a competent companion for the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. HDR+ mode helps liven up HD/SDR content and of course 4K/HDR content has an eye-watering sheen when viewed on this set. While the Q7FN isn’t quite a home run, it’s still a solid swing at the mid-range for 4K UHD TVs.

It has a number of top-shelf features with good black levels, but has its share of problems, too, like some audio reproduction issues and a slower operating platform. Thankfully, there’s nothing to complain about with the TV’s 4K HDR performance. In fact, considering how much work it takes for other screens to come close to natural colors, the P-Series is supremely good right out of the box.

The rumors and leaks have begun to intensify in the lead up to Sony's showing at MWC 2019, with the most recent one pointing towards a Sony Xperia XZ4 with a very tall screen. While that design still seems to be on the cards, the company is reportedly planning to drop its XZ naming scheme, opting instead to rebrand the upcoming flagship handset as the Sony Xperia 1, according to a new tweet from trusted leaker Evan Blass. Sony's next flagship smartphone may sport a Snapdragon 855 processorThat tall screen? It's reportedly a wide screen display for watching filmsSony's mid-range XA3 could also be getting a cinematic 21:9 displayAlong with the device's apparent new moniker, Blass has also included a high quality render of the supposed handset, revealing the previously reported triple camera setup on the phone's rear and a stylish purple finish. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/EZ9tyFC2LS3rvr2UM6vXnk.jpg Image credit: Evan Blass The phone's rumored 21:9 'CinemaWide' display is present and accounted for in the leaked image, and we can also see a series of side-mounted buttons. We can assume the buttons on the top half of the device are its volume rocker and a combined fingerprint scanner/power button, but the ones on the lower half are more mysterious – could we be looking at dedicated buttons for an AI assistant and camera shutter? Of course, we expect everything to be properly revealed by Sony as its MWC press conference, which is scheduled for February 25. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/U0IYfZNjqlg

The slim profile, revolutionary design and small frame bely its powerful performance and gorgeous 13-inch screen. Typically you'd have to weigh up portability and performance, but the XPS 13 has managed to strike a fine balance between the two. With Intel's latest Kaby Lake processors plus lighting, quick storage and memory, the XPS 13's starting price is certainly an impressive one. We're so chuffed with it that it's still one of our favourite Ultrabook, and has taken the top spot as the best Windows laptop and the best overall laptop.

Adding top of the line processing power, plenty of memory and a speedy PCle solid state drive available in some of the models, this laptop shows off a beautiful new design to perfection, giving you the ability to use it as a laptop or a tablet. While it costs a pretty penny as compared to some of the competition out there, it would be our top recommendation if money isn't a factor.

The Cupertino firm has ramped up performance for the 13-inch MacBook Pro 2018, more so than the bigger 15-inch model as well. A thin OLED display at the top end of the keyboard can be customised to for various functions, and also offer Touch ID for secure logins. And although it retains Apple's signature design, it doesn't come cheap, but you can argue with the choice if you're a diehard Apple fan.

With cutting edge components, including an 8th-gen Intel Core i7-8750H processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, it makes the top spot in gaming laptops. It's also cheaper than the ROG Zephyrus GX501.

In April of this year, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime will retire. Fils-Aime shared a goodbye message via the company’s Twitter profile and in it announced that upon his departure, the US branch will be helmed by Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Doug Bowser. Fils-Aime, who has worked at Nintendo for the last 15 years, helped launch the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3DS, as well as the Wii U and Nintendo Switch – four consoles that represent the highs and lows of Nintendo’s hardware history. In the time since, Fils-Aime has re-shaped Nintendo’s culture, being a face for a company that hid behind mascots and directly presenting information to audiences around the world in Nintendo Directs. Speaking of Switch, these are the best Nintendo Switch gamesScalebound could be Switch-bound, according to new reportThe Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is coming to Nintendo Switch“In April I’ll be dropping the title that’s meant so much to me, President of Nintendo of America,” Fils-Aime said in his video sendoff, “But I’ll retain one that means even more: Nintendo fan. From the bottom of my heart, thanks again for everything. You are the best.” In a statement to coincide with Fils-Aime’s departure announcement, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa thanked Fils-Aime for all that he’s done and said that the former face of the company’s US branch would be sorely missed: “While we will miss him and we wish him the very best in his retirement, we are also pleased to have such an able successor ready to step into that role. Doug Bowser and the rest of the team will ensure a seamless transition and continued momentum for Nintendo.” A new era for the Mushroom Kingdom For years, Reggie Fils-Aime was the face of Nintendo of America. He appeared frequently in press conferences and videos alongside President Satoru Iwata and distinguished Creative Fellow Shigeru Miyamoto - even when the company hit a rough patch with the Wii U. But Fils-Aime leaves behind a legacy, one that includes the revitalization of the Nintendo World Championship and three of the most successful consoles of all-time including the Wii, Nintendo 3DS handheld and Nintendo Switch. What will Nintendo of America look like now that Bowser is at the helm? Despite the ironic name, Bowser has been working alongside Fils-Aime for the last four years and seems intent to build on the legacy Fils-Aime leaves: “It has been my great fortune to work with and be mentored by Reggie for four years at Nintendo of America,” Bowser said. “And rest assured, we will continue to build on his work to evolve and expand our brand, furthering Nintendo’s global mission of creating smiles. There are millions more of those to come.” Opinion: We can't wait for Nintendo to adopt VRhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/oibYAq4ylLg

HTC has been a busy bee today, announcing not only new touch controllers for the upcoming HTC Vive Cosmos, but also a new standalone headset. Meet HTC’s newly announced headset is the Focus Plus and its main focus *rimshot* is it now comes with dual six-degrees of freedom (6DoF) controllers for a much more immersive, completely untethered VR experience. The original HTC Vive Focus only came with a single three-degrees of freedom (3DoF) controller that only offered rotational tracking (i.e. up, down, left and right). This new headset’s controllers will allow for a full transitional movement, which includes tracking whether the user has stepped forward, backward, side-to-side or shifted vertically. Other than those new ultrasonically tracked controllers, not much has changed on the virtual reality headset itself. The Vive Focus Plus still features a 2,880 × 1,600 (1,660 × 1,600 per lens) resolution AMOLED display. You'll also find the same underlying Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor power this headset to deliver completely self-driven VR experiences. Looking for an even higher-res VR headset, the 2K HP Copper might be for youThe Varjo’s VR-1 headset promises truly 'retina' resolution for an immense priceHere are the best virtual reality games you should dive into nowEngadget reports the Vive Focus Plus will feature "next-gen" lens for “no more god rays." However, we’ve also seen a conflicting article from Road to VR that speculates HTC will stick to the same Fresnel lenses as found on the original Vive Focus. We’ve reached out to HTC for more clarity on the lenses and will update this article as soon as we hear back. The HTC Vive Focus Plus is slated to launch in Q2 of 2019, but has yet to announce pricing. We'll also have to see and wait about whether this headset will come to mass market as it's currently only marketed to the enterprise sector.

The Nintendo Switch is the most versatile home console ever created. To call it a home console even is to do it an injustice, as its battery-powered handheld mode allows it to act as a supercharged portable games machine too. But its detachable controllers and central tablet-like core processing-and-display unit might make it even more versatile still – the Nintendo Switch could be getting VR support. It’s a rumor that’s been doing the rounds for few years now. Back in 2016, a patent was uncovered suggesting that the Nintendo Switch could be getting an accessory that would turn it into a mobile VR viewer, in much the same way that the Google Daydream View works. Data miners also discovered a screen splitting mode, ideal for VR, hidden within the Switch’s firmware. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4Ftgunt4umNn6iNm72Nic6.jpg Image Credit: TechRadar While we’ve been yet to corroborate the report ourselves, Nintendo World Report cites “multiple sources” who claim to have knowledge of soon-to-be-revealed Nintendo Switch VR details – including talk of first party franchises getting a VR mode. Its rumor lands close to news of the formation of a VRM Consortium, which sees 13 Japanese companies teaming up to develop VR business opportunities – and Nintendo acting as an observer. Pair this with comments from Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO of Nintendo of America, confirming that Nintendo is tinkering with VR projects, and the stars seems to be aligning for a Nintendo Switch VR mode and accessory. The perfect VR fitThere’s lots to love about this idea. The Nintendo Switch’s unique form factor, with its detachable central unit, makes it easy to house within a portable, wire-free headset for VR, with the aforementioned VR screen-splitting mode ensuring that you’d get a 3D ‘screen-per-eye’ view of the action. But what sort of headset would this be? How about a DIY one? Google Cardboard proved years back that a few bits of cardboard and some goggle optics, paired with a mobile screen, was all you needed for convincing VR on the go. And Nintendo has been planting the seeds for build-your-own toys for close to a year now with its Nintendo Labo sets – pop-out cardboard build kits that have turned the Switch into everything from a fishing game (complete with rod) to a cardboard costume that turns you into a stomping robot – complete with pulleys that help the Switch track your movements. It’s something that third party manufacturers have already seen the potential for – just take a look at the NS Glasses for instance (pictured up top, and below) – with only middling success, primarily because the software support just isn’t there yet. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4JfuLzZNQPT3GgBmpLjyW3.jpg Image Credit: Exklim NS Glasses Mario World VRBut, though few have tried it outside of Japanese arcades, it wouldn’t even be the first time Nintendo has toyed with VR software. Mario Kart VR has been in arcades for over a year now, co-developed by Namco. And while the experience is limited to a single track, it’s exhilarating to sit right inside the Mario universe, lobbing shells and banana skins at your racing rivals. The colorful nature of many first party Nintendo titles are perfectly suited to VR too. Just as Switch classics Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild lean on a lavish cartoony art style rather than aiming for photo-realism, so too could Switch VR titles, taking the strain off the underpowered hardware. There’s no need for 4K ray-tracing in the Mushroom Kingdom. And oh boy: can you imagine the Mushroom Kingdom in VR? If any readers have had the joy of trying the superbly inventive Astro Bot: Rescue Mission on the PlayStation 4, you’ll know that VR can be transformative for platformers. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/n8nLNfSCm898igBXQzLHDm.jpg Image Credit: Sony In the PlayStation VR title, the space-bound hero runs all around levels that render all around you, with the game hiding secrets around corners, and room-filling bad guys looking to make mincemeat out of your avatar. Nintendo has a knack for re-inventing the wheel when it tries its hand at a new format or genre, and the mind boggles at what would happen if a mini Mario was running around at my feet, or I was given the opportunity to don Samus Aran’s visor for a Metroid VR title. That’s not to say Nintendo hasn’t made missteps in a similar arena before – the Virtual Boy is a cautionary tale for anyone considering strapping a gaming device to their faces. But this time around, it feels like all the pieces are in place, as if Nintendo has had a genius plan for unleashing Nintendo Switch VR all along. If that’s the case, I can’t wait to strap myself in.

Ahead of 5G's global rollout, mobile analytic company Opensignal has published a new report analyzing 4G speeds worldwide to better understand how 5G will solve the congestion problems of today's 4G networks. The firm's analysis of 77 countries has revealed the enormous extent to which 4G speeds drop during peak hours when the highest amount of users are on the smartphones. Today's 4G networks suffer from huge fluctuations in speed throughout the course of a day and depending on the country, the 4G download speeds a user experiences at one hour could be as much as 30 Mbps faster than what they experience just a few hours later. Intel will launch 5G modem next yearThe coming 5G revolution5G could add billions to world GDPThe most consistent countries of those analyzed by Opensignal formed a diverse list that included several countries in Asia and Europe as well as Qatar, South Africa and Canada. Regional differencesIn general, European countries landed higher in the ranks of the firm's consistency charts with fast average speeds and smaller fluctuations. The Czech Republic was the most consistent country in Europe and the difference between the best 4G download speed and worst speed over a 24 hour period was 20 percent. In North America, the US and Canada differed greatly when it came to 4G speeds. Canada was among the fastest countries worldwide in terms of average speed and it was also among the most consistent while the US landed in the middle of Opensignal's consistency rankings. The greatest differences in download speeds were seen in the Asia Pacific region with South Korea at 47.1 Mbps and Singapore at 45.4 Mbps while India (6.5 Mbps), Thailand (8.2 Mbps), Indonesia (9.6 Mbps), Cambodia (8.6 Mbps) and the Philippines (9.4 Mbps) struggled to reach even double digits. Opensignal argues that 5G will provide a blanket of capacity that will help mitigate 4G congestion so that consumers can experience the best mobile download speeds possible.

Adopting a hybrid cloud traditionally means committing to a cloud vendor and purchasing new hardware but Google has taken a different approach with its Cloud Services Platform (CSP) by offering customers a software-based, hybrid offering. The new platform, which was announced at Google cloud Next last year, brings Google Cloud services into your existing on-prem infrastructure using the power of Kubernetes and Istio. CSP, which is launching into beta today, simplifies building, running and managing services both on-prem and in the cloud. Google bets on blockchain for cloudHow the finance industry spiked competition in the cloud warsWhat is hybrid cloud?Google's new platform gives businesses the freedom to modernize their applications at their own pace while innovating faster and improving operational security and governance. Google Kubernetes EngineCSP is built on top of the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and the platform includes a managed Kubernetes service called GKE On-Prem that provides remote lifecycle management to your on-prem clusters in order to help keep them updated and secure. GKE On-Prem also saves businesses time and money by allowing them to use their existing hardware. Users will be able to write once and deploy to the cloud or on-prem. CSP was designed in such a way that organizations can integrate their existing networking, storage and identity capabilities so that they can move to the cloud at their own pace. Additionally, the introduction of CSP Config Management allows users to create multi-cluster policies out of the box. These configurations can be rapidly deployed across all of your clusters whether they reside on-prem or in the cloud. The GCP Marketplace even gives organizations access to a variety of enterprise-ready, open-source and commercial Kubernetes applications. Google Cloud's Vice President Eyal Manor explained how CSP fits into the company's hybrid strategy in a blog post announcing the beta, saying: “CSP represents a foundational element of our hybrid strategy, which integrates with our build, deployment, and monitoring tools to provide a modern DevOps environment that accelerates development velocity.” Also check out the best cloud storagehttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/khLFc5qfhEs

After a quiet start to the year we've found some excellent Xbox One X prices. We're talking brand new bundles with the hottest games like Metro: Exodus, Red Dead Redemption 2, Forza Horizon 4, Battlefield V and more. Gamers looking for the most powerful console ever made have have been keen to pick up Xbox One X deals since release but there was a high cost to pay in the early days. Until recently, prices have been high at most stores if you weren't sure where to look. That's where we come in as our dedicated team of Deal Hunters cut through the chaff to bring you only the very best Xbox One X deals every day, and we've got some excellent ones for you today. In this article you'll find a comparison chart with the lowest prices on where to buy the 4K HDR Xbox One X console from a wide range of the best retailers. After the comparison chart we've put together a collection of the latest bundles in the States and UK. These Xbox One X bundles will save you money over buying the items separately. If you're after information on the latest Australian deals, head over to our Australian page. The best Xbox One X pricesUS Xbox One X bundles are really stepping things up now after a quiet few months. there's never been a better time to buy actually as you're getting genuine discounts and free content for the first time in ages. What is the Xbox One X price?The Xbox One X MSRP is $499 in the US and the UK RRP currently sits at £449. So sure, it looks like UK gamers are paying considerable more as the direct currency conversion would have it at £390. On the plus side, retailers are starting to cut prices and we're seeing games bundled in too. So you should never pay those costs for the console alone today. Why should I buy an Xbox One X?Just to be clear, this is not what you'd call a 'next-gen' console. Instead it's a powerful upgrade over the current Xbox One lineup. To simplify things, it's akin to Sony's PS4 Pro. Both consoles are aimed at gamers with a 4K HDR TV who want the best graphical performance possible on their favored console. There will be modest performance boosts on non-4K TVs too, but you're kind of missing the point without a 4K HDR TV. As things stand the Xbox One X will play all Xbox One games and we're not expecting to see any games released exclusively for the Xbox One X (or so we've been told), so there's certainly no reason to throw away your Xbox One S yet. The Xbox One X is the most powerful console ever made though, even outshining some of the specs of the PS4 Pro. But given the huge asking price, you'd hope as much. The Xbox One X is making bold claims about true native 4K gaming though with its upcoming titles and if you have a 4K TV with High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology, the Xbox One X is ready to seriously impress with the likes of Forza Motorsport 7, Metro: Exodus and Anthem set to be true jaw-droppers in the graphics department. Where can I buy an Xbox One X?Most of the usual big name retailers are stocking the Xbox One X. Prices this close to launch are all very similar for now, but as we move forwards, we'll start to see stores chipping away at the price to try to get an edge over the competition. Keep an eye on the highlighted Xbox One X bundles above and our comparison chart, which we'll keep up to date on the latest prices for the Xbox One X on its own. So feel free to bookmark us and check in again soon to see if we've found the deal that's right for you. Fingers crossed the bundles get better soon, especially in the US where we're not seeing massive software discounts so far. What is the Xbox One X release date?It's here now! The Xbox One X came out on November 7 2017. That was a worldwide release date too. Will there be Xbox One X deals are Christmas?Unlike the first Xbox One X's first Christmas, we do expect there to be some deals this year. The 4K console was seemingly too new to discount last year, but Microsoft will be keen to catch up the the PS4 Pro this year and we're hoping for some decent discounts in what has been a slow year for deals in all honesty. In all likelihood, the PS4 Pro prices and bundles are still going to be much cheaper. What if I don't care about 4K or want to save money?The standard Xbox One S is a fantastic games console and you'll easily be able to get one with a few games for around $250/£250 or less. There are cheap deals all year round on our Xbox One deals and PS4 prices, deals and bundles pages. Only kidding. I want 4K HDR in my face right now.4K TVs with HDR are nowhere near as expensive as you'd think. The prices have come down much faster than the original HD TVs, so you can get a decent model for a low price. Hell we've seen some nice ones for less than the price of the Xbox One X itself (what a ridiculous world we live in). For the best of the best, take a look at our best TV article. We've also rounded up the best cheap 4K TV deals too in the UK, and also a collection of US TV deals. How big is the hard drive in the Xbox One X?For now, the only option available is the 1TB option, that's 1000GB of storage. There are no official plans for larger versions, but we wouldn't be surprised to see these come along in 2018. With some 4K-friendly update patches to games coming in at over 100GB, we certainly wouldn't hold out for a cheaper 500GB Xbox One X, as it'd be a bit pointless to be honest. We think gamers are going to fill up the 1TB Xbox One pretty soon. Thankfully the Xbox One X is compatible with external hard drives using USB 3.0. So if you need some extra storage, check out our list of the best external hard drives. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/3ty8DZEeWQA

So it finally happened, Samsung went and released its brand new trio of phones - the S10, S10 Plus and S10e. That was already enough to get us excited, but then iD Mobile - Carphone Warehouse's very own network - went and declared that it would be offering an almighty 50GB data boost on all its Galaxy S10 deals and now, our excitement is palpable. Okay, that may sound a tad dramatic but this is a seriously intriguing offer and let us tell you why. iD is notorious for offering affordable mobile phone deals with low data, which is great considering some S10 and S10 Plus deals are a little...pricey. So in theory, with these data boosted plans you could opt for a more affordable 1GB of data S10 contract and end up with an effective 3GB each month overall. When you hit your data limit each month your data boost will kick in and carry you through to the end of the month. That way you don't have to compromise on price or data. And the data boost is available for the duration of the contract and beyond. If this sounds like the ideal offer for you then scroll down to see our picks of the best boosted data deals and find out a bit more about who iD is. See the best Samsung Galaxy S10 deals or for something a bit more affordable, take a look at the best S10e deals. Our pick of iD's data boosted S10 deals in full:What is iD Mobile?iD Mobile is a sub-section of Carphone Warehouse so you can rest assured that it is a trustworthy source for your new phone deal. It piggybacks off the Three network's coverage, so pretty good for most parts of the UK. And you can use roaming in 50 destinations around the world. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/m8lAFFfgGyc

Whether you have a lot or a little, everyone needs to manage their money. Like so many areas of life, you can do things entirely by hand, or you can turn to software to make your life easier. There's a wealth – if you'll pardon the pun – of personal finance tools out there, but many of them involve having to put your hand into your pocket, dig deep and part with some hard-earned cash. You could, of course, pay an accountant to take care of your money for you, but this involves and outlay that you might well prefer to avoid. Take a look through the selection of free tools we've collected together, and you should find something that suits your personal finance needs, making it easier to keep track of your money. This free personal finance software could hopefully save you some money too or, at the very least, see where you're currently spending it. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/XpjytZKadYHuY5Kqsnopd7.jpg http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BXxZsBsDGrPo7teaqkMsfD.jpg Image credit: The GnuCash Project GnuCash is simple enough to be used for home finances, but flexible enough to be put to use by small businesses as well. While the software is easy to use, the fact that it's suitable for small business accounting is thanks to the inclusion of a number of extra features that you would not necessarily expect to find – support for payroll management and double-entry accounting, for instance. Although relatively easy to use, this free personal finance software does really require some familiarity with accounting software, and it's simple to migrate from another program because you can import data in QIF and dOFX formats. Support for expense tracking makes this ideal software for preparing for tax season, and there are a huge number of reporting options to help you to make sense of your cashflow. The software is available for macOS, Windows and Linux, as well as Android, and it's highly recommended that you try out this great tool before you consider any of the paid-for alternatives.

In a matter of minutes, you can set up all of the accounts you need and start keeping track of your incomings and outgoings. Money can be easily pulled from and moved between different accounts, and Buddi can generate all sort of reports about your spending and earnings broken down in a variety of ways. If you're looking to save money, the program can help you to stick to a budget and for anyone who is completely new to the concept of accounting, the Buddi website has a number of helpful guides to help get you started. On the downside, Buddi requires you to have Java installed which is not going to be to everyone's liking, and the software itself has not been updated for a little while. Neither of these two factors are enough to stop us from recommending that you take a look at the program – it could well be just what you've been looking for.

There's only support for two accounts in AceMoney Lite, but this should be enough for many people – and the full edition of the program is only $40 (around £30, AU$50) anyway. You can even use the program to keep track of your PayPal account. Managing accounts in different currencies is no problem, but you'll have to enter data into this free personal finance software rather than having your transactions pulled in from your bank account. That said, if you download statements from your online bank account, these can then be imported to saved time with manual entry. AceMoney Lite also makes it easy to track your spending and investments, making it a great financial tool for anyone looking to take control of their finances.

Available for Windows, macOS and Linux (there's also an Android app in development) HomeBank can be installed normally or as a portable app, and it makes the topic of personal finance easily accessible. If you've been using another program – such as Quicken or Microsoft Money – to manage your finances, you can import data to save having to start from scratch. You can add an unlimited number of accounts to the program, and they can be linked to each other to allow for easy money transfers – it is all entirely dependent on manual editing, though. With enough data entered, it's possible to generate all manner of reports, including helpful predictive reports for car ownership and the like. Very much designed with the average person in mind, this is a personal finance app for people who hate personal finance apps.

Buxfer can also pull in data in from the likes of Quicken and Mint, help you manage budgets and forecast costs and earnings, and track investments with ease. You will have to spend time categorizing transactions manually if you upload them from your statements, but this isn't too much of a chore. You can set up alerts, track bills, and predict spending patterns; it's a highly versatile tool. There is a free version of service available, but there are also three paid-for tiers ranging in price from $1.99 to $4.99 per month. It's worth taking the free version for a spin to see if it could do the job for you – this will let you work with up to five accounts, which is likely to be enough for most people.

Images purporting to show the OnePlus 7 have leaked online, which suggest the upcoming phone could have a pop-up selfie camera instead of the static front-facing snapper found on the OnePlus 6. Two photos, posted on Twitter by @Steven_Sbw, are claimed to show the device. Both show it from the front, so we can’t tell a whole lot about the device, but there are a few significant differences from the OnePlus 6 that, if the images are genuine, would mean the OnePlus 7 is a big step up from its predecessor. OnePlus has 5G phones on the wayWhat do we know about the upcoming iPhone 11Here's what to know about the Samsung Galaxy FoldNotable features of the images are the minimal bezel and lack of a notch on the display – instead, the screen is an unbroken rectangle. It appears the display has been flipped in one photo, judging by the sizes of the bezels above and below the screen being reversed from what you’d expect on any device and the side buttons being on the opposite side of the device. The images do seem suspiciously similar to the Oppo Find X – the only differentiating factor between the device in the images and the Find X is the side buttons seem slightly lower, and the bezel below the screen looks a little bigger. OnePlus and Oppo are owned by the same firm, so it would be no surprise if the devices shared a similar look, but take the leak with a mountain of salt anyway. The lack of a notch brings with it the absence of any kind of visible front-facing camera on the device. Of course it’s inconceivable that the phone wouldn’t have a selfie camera – there would be no quicker way for OnePlus to halve its audience – instead the device likely has a pop-up camera as other Oppo devices do. While the leak seems a little suspicious, both because of the unproven nature of the leaker and the device’s undeniable similarities with the Find X, many of the features it shows back up rumors and leaks we’ve already heard. We’ve heard that it’ll have no notch or bezel, and use a slide-out camera, and OnePlus itself has confirmed the phone will run a Snapdragon 855 processor. Compared to other phones (we’re looking at you, LG G8 ThinQ and Samsung Galaxy S10) the OnePlus 7 hasn’t been the subject of many leaks, so there’s still a lot we want to find out about the device. Hopefully we’ll know more after MWC 2019, as we’re expecting the OnePlus 7 to launch mid-2019. These 7 devices are expected to use the Snapdragon 855 chiphttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/JfyhUFlp6uE

While we're still waiting for the Huawei P30 range, it's the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, set to land later in 2019, that's likely to be the company’s biggest, best and most exciting handset. Not much is known about it yet but a few rumors are starting to roll in, all of which you’ll find below. We’ll also be sure to update this article any time we hear any credible new information. In the meantime, we’ve also come up with a wish list of things that we want from Huawei’s phablet flagship. Things that it might need if it’s going to compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S10. Cut to the chaseWhat is it? The successor to the Mate 20 ProWhen is it out? Possibly October 2019What will it cost? Likely to rival other top flagshipsHuawei Mate 30 Pro release date and priceThere aren’t any Huawei Mate 30 Pro release date rumors yet, but we have a pretty good idea of roughly when we’ll see it. Huawei always announces new entries in its Mate range towards the end of the year, and more specifically it announced both the Huawei Mate 20 range and the Huawei Mate 10 in October of their respective launch years. So an October announcement is our best guess. There’s no guarantee of that, especially as the Huawei Mate 9 was announced in November 2016, but at the very least the Mate 30 Pro will likely be announced in the last few months of 2019, alongside the standard Huawei Mate 30. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/5hpE8ZstWDPTc7EdFjd6cV.jpg The Mate 30 Pro is likely to land in October. Image Credit: TechRadar There aren’t any price rumors yet either, but the Huawei Mate 20 Pro cost £899 / AU$1,599 (around $1,150) at launch, so it’s likely that the Mate 30 Pro will cost at least that much. It’s worth noting also that given Huawei’s ongoing issues in the US, the Mate 30 Pro probably won’t be available there. Huawei Mate 30 Pro news and rumorsThe only real Huawei Mate 30 Pro rumor so far comes from a Huawei patent, which shows a phone case with space on the back for extra camera lenses. You can see the image below and based on that it looks like there could be room for five rear lenses, up from three on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Of course, patents don’t always become real devices, and even if this does get used it might not make it to the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, but it would make sense for Huawei to increase the number of lenses on its flagship, given that a number of other phones are rumored to be doing the same. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TdHF7gu6iiKFCLidEodNQ6.jpg This could point to extra lenses on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Image Credit: Mobielkopen Beyond that, we can be confident that the Mate 30 Pro will have a new generation of the company’s top-end in-house chipset. The current top version is called the Kirin 980 and made its debut in the Huawei Mate 20 range. Based on previous names we can guess that the next one will be called the Kirin 990. The Mate 30 Pro might also support 5G. It won’t be the company’s first 5G handset – that’s coming at MWC 2019 in late February and is set to also fold, but by late 2019 a number of 5G networks will be starting to launch, so it could make sense to add 5G to a major flagship. What we want to seeThe Huawei Mate 30 Pro is likely to be a powerful, impressive phone, but for it to really stand out it could do with the following things. 1. An improved cameraThe cameras on the Mate 20 Pro are generally very good, but in our review we found that shots taken with the ultra-wide-angle lens would sometimes have warped edges. We also noted that the phone’s HDR skills weren’t a match for some of its top rivals, such as the Google Pixel 3 and iPhone XS, so these are two things that we’d like to see improved for the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. 2. More lenseshttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QKbcgjwmmHjA2jznnHx5TW.jpg Three is good, more is better. Image Credit: TechRadar While we’re on the subject of the camera, we’d also like more lenses. The three on the back is a good start, but with the likes of the Nokia 9 thought to be getting five lenses there’s always room for more. This may well happen too, as early rumors suggest that extra rear lenses could be a feature of the Mate 30 Pro. Similarly, we’d like to see an extra lens on the front of the phone, especially if it can be used to power Apple-calibre facial recognition. 3. No notchThe Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a good-looking phone, but one element that could start to look dated in 2019 is its notch, since phones are starting to arrive with punch-hole cameras instead. But ideally we don’t even want that for the Mate 30 Pro, what we’d like to see is a truly all-screen design with the camera and sensors somehow built into the screen. That might not be possible, but Huawei is often among the first to show new technology in handsets, so you never know. 4. A slicker interfaceOne ongoing issue with all of Huawei’s phones is the heavy EMUI overlay the company sticks on top of Android. We’d like to see the Huawei Mate 30 Pro stay closer to stock Android. Better yet, ditch EMUI entirely and use Android One – which would also ensure software updates could be offered rapidly. 5. An improved in-screen scannerhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HzSHmzXBaGSC4FM6BGzVuS.jpg The Mate 20 Pro's scanner needs work. Image Credit: TechRadar The Huawei Mate 20 Pro has an in-screen fingerprint scanner and it was among the first phones to sport one. It’s a cool feature but in the Mate 20 Pro’s case it’s not perfect. It’s only on a small area of the screen, so can be hard to find without first turning the screen on (which brings up an icon). It also isn’t perfect at recognizing prints. That’s all forgivable since it’s the first generation of the tech, but by the time the Mate 30 Pro launches, Huawei will have had another year to perfect it, so let’s hope it will use the time wisely. 6. A 3.5mm headphone portLike many phones, the Mate 20 Pro lacks a 3.5mm headphone port, but we’re still not convinced that it’s time to abandon wired headphones. There are lots of arguments for the convenience of wireless headphones and the fact that the space used for the port could better be used for other things. This is all valid, but many of us still have wired cans that we don’t want to bury just yet. Some of us also don’t want to have to charge our headphones, and when it comes to sound quality wired can still have the edge. 7. Something newMost of the things listed above are focused on perfecting the Mate 20 Pro, but what we really want to see for the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is something completely new and exciting. Some sort of futuristic feature perhaps or a completely new, completely dazzling design. We’ll leave the specifics to Huawei, but in the face of the Samsung Galaxy S10 and the iPhone 11 it’s likely to take more than impressive basics for the Mate 30 Pro to truly stand out. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 could be a major rivalhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/4_0Twd4RWB8

The Samsung Galaxy Fit has now been announced alongside the smaller, lower-end Galaxy Fit E. It doesn't look like this is set to be the Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro sequel we had all expected though. Both are far cheaper devices with less premium looking designs than Samsung's last fitness tracker. The company announced the new trackers alongside the Galaxy Watch Active and Galaxy S10 family. Below we'll run you through all of the details you need to know about both the Galaxy Fit and Fit E. Check out our full best fitness trackers listCut to the chaseWhat is it? Samsung's next fitness tracker duoWhen is it out? Unveiled February 20, out later in the yearWhat will it cost? Main tracker costs $99 / £89Samsung Galaxy Fit release date and priceAn exact release date for the Samsung Galaxy Fit has yet to be unveiled, but the company has said it hopes to bring the tracker to market at some point during Q2. Previous rumors have suggested a May 21 release date in the US, but we can't confirm that yet. For the price, we know it's set to cost $99 / £89 but we don't currently have information for Australia. The Galaxy Fit E meanwhile is set to cost $35 / £35, but we don't know pricing for Australia yet. Samsung Galaxy Fit design and displayhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UpvHhz3nTeoyXU3TdDGGsf.jpg Image Credit: Samsung The Samsung Galaxy Fit is a far less premium looking fitness tracker than the Gear Fit 2 Pro, but it sports a 0.95-inch Full Color AMOLED display with a resolution of 120 x 240. That's 282 pixels per inch, and should offer a clearer picture than a lot of other fitness trackers with black and white displays. The Galaxy Fit E's screen is a lot less impressive, with a 0.74-inch black and white PMOLED display and a resolution of 64 x 128. That's 193 pixels per inch. Both trackers come in black, while the Galaxy Fit also comes in a silver shade. The Fit E is available in both white and Canary Yellow, which should be suitable for you if you're after a bolder design. These have similar designs to other fitness bands, with thin straps and they're lightweight too. The Galaxy Fit is only 24g even with the silicone strap while the Fit E is 15g with its strap included. The Galaxy Fit is 18.3 x 44.6 x 11.2mm while the Fit E is a bit smaller in every way at 16 x 40.2 x 10.9mm. If you're looking for a lightweight and easy to wear fitness tracker, these are sure to be suitable for you. Both trackers are also waterproof up to 50 meters, allowing you to take them in the pool without having to worry about frying them. Samsung Galaxy Fit fitnesshttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HJbUqQD3NfXV9M7QMhVyXi.png Image Credit: Samsung Fitness is likely the reason you're looking at this health band, and Samsung has packed it full of basic features. Both are capable of step-tracking and will automatically monitor your movements so they'll know when you've started a walk, run or bike ride. The Galaxy Fit range can also track general dynamic workouts, but they don't come with the sizable selection of automatic exercises that you'll find on the Galaxy Watch Active. Instead, you'll find 90 different types of workout within the Samsung Health app that you'll have to manually select before you start them. Samsung has also said there are both sleep analysis and smart stress management features on both trackers, but we've yet to learn exactly what they'll be able to do. Both trackers feature heart rate monitors - although we don't know what type of tech is being used here - but only the Galaxy Fit features a gyroscope. The Galaxy Fit features a heart rate tracker, but you won't get that if you opt for the Fit E. Neither of these come with GPS either, and there's no clarification on whether the Fit will include Connected GPS features. Samsung Galaxy Fit specshttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gmFrTjXH4fLALs7qPvrae.jpg Image Credit: Samsung Samsung has retooled its software for the new trackers with a new design called Realtime OS, which the company believes is more intuitive. According to Samsung, the new design is "simple and intuitive". The chipset inside the Galaxy Fit is an MCU Cortex M33F 96MHz. We don't currently know what sort of power it will provide, but it's sure to power the tracker well enough to run basic services. The Galaxy Fit E has an MCU Cortex M0 96MHz. Samsung has also included a small amount of storage on the Galaxy Fit and Fit E, but this won't be for your own use so you won't be able to play music through these. The Galaxy Fit charges wirelessly and has a 120mAh cell inside that the company expects to last for "around a week". The cell inside the Fit E is a 70mAh one and the company also expects that to last for around a week.

So you're thinking about PS4 Pro deals or maybe a bundle? Well we can most certainly help you out there as we're always checking out the latest sales. Maybe you're upgrading from your older PS4 so you can dive into 4K gaming. Or maybe you've never had a PS4 and are thinking you may as well start with the best. All solid choices, especially if you're already set with a 4K TV, even better if it has HDR too. There are some fantastic-looking games out now to really make a PS4 Pro shine; Red Dead Redemption 2, Spider-Man, God of War, Detroit: Become Human are all serious lookers and jaws are bound to drop further when The Last of Us Part 2 sneaks onto our 4K TVs later this year. You'll find all of the latest and best PS4 Pro prices from the big name stores in our comparison chart below. There's not too much difference in price between retailers at this time of year, but we're constantly on the lookout for the latest deals and bundles. Looking to buy in Australia? You'll want to take a look at our AU page. If you'd prefer a standard PS4, then check out our PS4 bundles (USA) or PS4 deals (UK) pages. Don't forget to top up your subscription with one of our discounted PlayStation Plus deals too. So keep this page bookmarked to stay informed of the latest PS4 Pro bundles when they arrive. If you're looking for more information on the PS4 Pro, take a look at our handy Q&A below the bundles. PS4 Pro bundle deals (USA)Worthwhile PS4 Pro bundles have been pretty much non-existent in the US for the last few months. The PS4 Pro on its own has seemingly sold out at the regular $399 price, meaning we've only seen units for sale via third-party sellers on sites like Amazon/Walmart for prices often at least $40 more than usual. This long after release, we're not cool with that you shouldn't be either. As a bare minimum, you want at least one game with the console for $399, ideally less in the next few months. The only decent PS4 Pro bundle today is the Read Dead Redemption 2 one we've just added below, don't expect stock to last long on this one though. PS4 Pro bundle deals (UK)Need an extra controller on the cheap? Take a look at the best DualShock 4 deals. We also have a guide to the best PlayStation VR deals too. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/9mtmJpnJDRjvZhRJk7DUYL.jpg Cheap PlayStation Plus dealsIf you're buying a PS4 Pro, you'll probably need a cheap PlayStation Plus deal too. PlayStation Plus (aka PS Plus or PS+) allows you to play PS4 games online, along with access to the Instant Game Collection, a bunch of free games for PS4, PS3 and Vita each month. The default price for a year is £40. We've shopped around for you though and found a range of prices. So check out our guide of you want the best PlayStation Plus deals. What is the PS4 Pro?Essentially, the PS4 Pro is an upgrade of the PS4, rather than a 'next-gen' console. The keywords to take in from the PS4 Pro are 4K and HDR. The new machine will allow game developers to include 4K options in their games, so expect the like of Uncharted 4, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Days Gone, Horizon: Zero Dawn and more to look even better on a 4K TV. HDR, or High Dynamic Range is the other buzzword to be excited about as the PS4 Pro will allow for extra detail to be seen on a range of games and also a wider range of colors not usually displayed by traditional HD TVs. Will my old PS4 games work on PS4 Pro?Absolutely. If you're planning on upgrading to a PS4 Pro from an older PS4, all of your games will still work. Not every title will be patched to take advantage of the new 4K/HDR capabilities, but the default upscaling (if you have a 4K TV) will more than likely see some improvement to the visuals and the improved console power may give the frame-rate a boost on some titles. What else can I watch in 4K/HDR on PS4 Pro?The PS4 Pro is compatible with 4K and HDR, and the content options for both are increasing all the time on services like YouTube and Netflix. Amazon Prime video is yet to be updated for 4K content though. Does the PS4 Pro support 4K Blu-rays?No. This was a surprise if we're honest, especially as both the Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles do. It's a bit of a gamble for Sony, but at the same time, 4K Blu-rays are very expensive for now and many consumers look to digital services to provide their 4K movies and TV content instead. Do I need a 4K TV to run a PS4 Pro?No, the PS4 Pro will still work on a regular 1080p TV, you won't get the benefits of upscaling or HDR though. You may see a slim amount of extra detail, or frame-rate boost, but we wouldn't expect a massive leap. If you are thinking of buying a 4K TV soon, then it's probably a good idea to splash out on the PS4 Pro instead of the regular or new PS4 Slim as it'll future proof you for a while. Be sure to look out for a TV that supports HDR too, in order to take full advantage of the PS4 Pro's capabilities. Will PlayStation VR be better on the PS4 Pro?Early reports say yes. The PlayStation VR frame-rate is better on PS4 Pro and the resolution gets a bit of a bump too. PlayStation VR will certainly work on the older PS4s, you don't need a PS4 Pro to get involved there. Does the PS4 Pro have optical audio support?Yes! The optical audio output has been removed from the PS4 Slim though, which is a massive shame. PS4 Pro owners though will still be able to use optical connections for their soundbars and sound systems.
