Are you ready for what is probably the most enticing possible encounter in world football right now? The UEFA Champions League has delivered once again with Spain's newly crowned champions going up against one of the most exciting attacks around. And with this TechRadar guide you can live stream Barcelona vs Liverpool no matter where you are in the world. As you'd hope and expect from a last four Champions League clash, Barcelona and Liverpool are two of world football's biggest names. If this had been the 2019 Champions League final, we don't think too many people would have been disappointed (other than Real Madrid and Everton fans, of course!). Barcelona's superstars don't require much of an introduction - Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic...oh yeah, and a guy called Lionel Messi. They have had the liberty of resting players in La Liga, too, with their massive points advantage at the top. Juggling the two plates of Champions League and the Premier League title, Klopp's men could be just a few wins away from one of the club's most famous seasons and there have been a few. They'll be relying on their trio if attackers Salah, Mane and Firmino to gran an all-important away goal today. Can the players recapture the spirit of Liverpool's Miracle of Istanbul in 2005 when they won their most recent of five titles? It's poised to be a fascinating first leg of the Champions League last four knockouts, so make sure you follow the instructions below for how to live stream Barcelona vs Liverpool from wherever you are in the world.

Defence secretary Gavin Williamson has been removed from his role following an inquiry into allegations that he leaked information from a high-level National Security Council (NSC) meeting related to working with Huawei to build out the UK's 5G network. The inquiry came after reports surfaced over a plan to allow Huawei limited access to help build the UK's new 5G network despite growing security concerns surrounding the Chinese hardware maker. Williamson, who has served as defence secretary since 2017, continues to deny that he or his team leaked any information from the NSC. 5G: How will businesses benefit?Huawei security slammed by UK government reportHuawei revenue soars despite US allegations and restrictionsDowning Street has responded to the allegations by saying that the PM had “lost confidence in his ability to serve” and the role will now be filled by the former minister for international development Penny Mordaunt who will be the first woman to take on the position. Huawei leakDuring a meeting with Williamson this week, British Prime Minister Theresa May informed him that she had received intel that provided “compelling evidence” that he was responsible for the unauthorized disclosure. May doubled down on the decision to let Williamson go in a letter confirming his dismissal in which she said: “No other, credible versions of events to explain this leak has been identified.” The Daily Telegraph first reported on warnings with cabinet about potential risks to national security over a deal with Huawei which led to the inquiry into the NSC leak. Huawei's role in the UK's 5G network has not yet been formally confirmed and Downing Street has said that a final decision will be made at the end of spring.

Apple's newest range of iPhones - the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR - all use Face ID to unlock, as opposed to most modern smartphones which use fingerprint sensors – however the iPhone 11 could use Touch ID too, with a huge Apple-flavored twist. According to patents found by Patently Apple, the company is working on a new kind of in-screen fingerprint sensor for its devices that would let you put your finger anywhere on the screen to unlock your phone, instead of just in one spot like most phones require. The Touch ID system would work through 'acoustic imaging', so waves sent from under the phone display would recognize your fingerprint wherever you put it on the screen. What do we know about the new iPhone 11?Is the iPhone 8 Plus Apple's best older phone?Check out our thoughts on the iPhone XS MaxThis means that, instead of having to put your finger in a particular place like for most in-screen fingerprint sensors, you could put it anywhere, be that at the top of the screen or at the sides, and the waves would still know you were trying to unlock your phone. If this system was used it could really speed up the way you access your phones, and make opening your device a lot more natural. Curiously, the patent also notes the system could work for your ear, but we're not sold on the idea of Ear ID in any product at the moment. It's plausible this could be incorporated into some kind of system that unlocks your phone while you're on a call, but we're struggling to think of ways that would be useful. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/aEpuRrFq7N8WfhoHFmuyNS.jpg Image credit: Apple / US Patent and Trademark Office Usually when we see a patent for a neat feature like this we take it with a pinch of salt, because a rough sketch only proves a company is considering an idea, not that it will use it. We've actually also heard Apple is considering a system of unlocking that scans your veins in your face to unlock, so this new Touch ID could just be another idea Apple is throwing around. However, while Apple's patent was only published on April 30, 2019, it was actually filed near the end of 2016, so it isn't outside the realms of possibility that we could see it in the iPhone 11. We're expecting to see the iPhone 11 at the end of 2019, at Apple's yearly iPhone launch event, but we're seeing a steady drip of leaks, rumors and patents already, so stay tuned to TechRadar for all the latest iPhone news.

Having already confirmed that the OnePlus 7 Pro has a triple-lens rear camera, OnePlus has now gone a step further and given us a hint of what it’s capable of by sharing three photos shot with the phone. Shared on Twitter, the images (which you can see below) seemingly make use of all three lenses, with one shot being a standard one, another being wide-angle and the third making use of the telephoto lens – which we already know is capable of 3x lossless zoom. While we’re reluctant to read too much into the capabilities of the camera based just on three images, it’s a promising showing, with the telephoto shot in particular standing out through an impressive amount of image detail. The OnePlus 7 range could include one of the first 5G phonesWill the OnePlus 7 Pro rival the Samsung Galaxy S10?The iPhone 11 is coming later this yearThe three photos also give you an idea of how much more versatile the OnePlus 7 Pro’s camera is likely to be than the snappers on previous OnePlus handsets. Saying that, it still may not be a match for some flagships, such as the Huawei P30 Pro with its quad-lens camera and 5x lossless zoom. We still don’t know the full specs of the OnePlus 7 Pro’s camera, though rumors suggest it has a 48MP f/1.6 lens, a 16MP f/2.2 wide-angle lens, and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto lens. Those rumors are ever more believable now that these sample photos have suggested the phone has standard, wide and telephoto lenses. Of course, this is just the OnePlus 7 Pro we’re talking about. The standard OnePlus 7 is unlikely to be quite as impressive, and if you want the Pro you’ll probably have to pay more than we’re used to paying for OnePlus handsets. We’ll know for sure soon, as the OnePlus 7 range is set to land on May 14. OnePlus has also confirmed that the 7 Pro has no notch or bezelhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/Yap1TVM_LeQ

After a brutal 2018 that forced the brand to admit it hasn't got the best reputation when it comes to privacy, Mark Zuckerberg has big plans for the Facebook platform in 2019: Facebook is being redesigned. Zuckerberg made the announcements during Facebook's F8 event near the company's home turf in San Jose, California, where he addressed the past year of issues with privacy, security and decreasing trust in the platform. The new version of Facebook, codenamed 'FB5', will be the biggest change the social network has experienced in years: nearly every single aspect is changing in some way. There was a lot of information, but we've gathered everything you need to know right here. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bUhUhZEjcSCCAVEVUuEAic.png New web and mobile designsThe fifth major redesign of the Facebook app is incoming, codenamed 'FB5', and it will make communities – known as Groups – the focus, featuring a sleek redesign that should make it faster and more reliable, not to mention more visually appealing. The new Facebook mobile app should now be live too, as a much faster and more immersive experience. Facebook has made finding what you're looking for more convenient, and more importantly claims to have made it safer and more secure. This is the biggest change to the Facebook app in five years: even the Facebook logo is being updated for 2019. There's a new Facebook desktop website, too, and it should be much lighter on system resources, with the same design language as the mobile app. It will be coming in the next few months, with some updates showing up right away. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HivVQYspKSc5zn7FU3VRjg.png All about building communityMark Zuckerberg made it clear that Facebook's focus is shifting to communities both public and private. This means that Groups are going to be the core focus: there are already tens of millions of active Groups on Facebook. Groups will be easier to find, and easier to participate in, thanks to a new, redesigned Groups tab. This will show you a personalized feed of all of your groups, so you can focus on your communities in a single place, rather than parsing them out from the rest of your News Feed. Users will also notice that Group recommendations will crop up in more places, but they'll be more relevant to what you're doing in the app. For instance, you may see more "buy and sell" groups show up in the Marketplace, and Today in Gaming may suggest a new gaming group for you to join. The News Feed will also be redesigned so that you can more easily share content directly to your Groups. But, this new community approach goes beyond Groups. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kUvbbjcVEHAq92gZTgGaGb.jpg Facebook is launching Facebook Dating in more countries, along with a new feature called "Secret Crush." The idea here is that you can opt-in to this program, and name up to nine of your friends that you have interest in. If they opt-in to the program and name you as one of their secret crushes, then you will be matched. However, if the secret crush isn't mutual, no one will know the names you entered. Facebook Dating is already live in five countries, and will expand to 14 more today. The service will launch in the US at the end of the year. There will also be some new ways to meet friends, through the new "Meet New Friends" feature. This is also an opt-in feature, so that you will only be exposed to people who are open to meeting new people. This feature will also work with your Groups, so you can easily add new friends from your favorite community. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hQYjqW6rAaToWmDsnenH4b.jpg Everything elseFacebook's Marketplace is also getting some improvements. Namely, you'll be able to both ship products across the continental US, and you'll have the ability to pay for stuff safely and securely through the Facebook app. This should make shopping on the Facebook platform more secure for both sellers and buyers. The Events tab is also getting a makeover, and it will be easier to explore your city. You can coordinate with your friends, find local businesses and find a new favorite restaurant based on your own personal preferences. There are so many Facebook changes coming in the next few months, and it could change the way people use the platform day-in and day-out. At the very least, the hope is for these changes to make the social network grow more secure and less divisive.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have been making some macabre calculations, and have concluded that the number of dead Facebook users will outnumber the living sometime between 2070 and 2100. In one scenario, the team from Oxford Internet Institute predicted what would happen if Facebook gained no new users at all from the time the paper was written. If this happened, it would take about 50 years for the balance to tip and the deceased to have a majority. How to delete FacebookThe best encrypted messaging apps for AndroidFacebook pulls back the curtain on its newsfeed algorithm At the other end of the scale, if the site's tally of registered users continue to increase by 13% per year, the balance would tip at around 2100, by which time 4.9 billion of account holders would have shuffled off this mortal coil. The paper's authors state that the actual year will almost certainly sit somwhere between those two dates, but it's impossible to say exactly when. In memoriamThe bleak news follows an announcement from Facebook that it will be more tactful about its deceased users in future, introducing a new Tributes section for accounts that have been 'memorialized' and taking steps to make sure people aren't tactlessly asked to wish deceased acquaintances a happy birthday. A memorialized account lets friends and family see posts the deceased user shared on the site, but adds the word 'remembering' to their profile to make it clear that they are no longer alive. The Tributes tab will be a space for messages remembering the person, which can be moderated by a nominated friend or family member.

2017 was a busy year for Nokia. As if the re-release of the nostalgia-fuelled Nokia 3310 wasn't enough, the Finnish manufacturer launched three brand new mobiles in the February and its best ever in the summer. First came the Nokia 3 - the brand's budget friendly Snake-less smartphone - quickly followed by the more premium Nokia 6. It's got a sleek metallic build, runs off a bloatware-free Android 7 Nougat and is one of the cheapest 'proper' mobile phones on the market. Then followed the cheaper Nokia 5 and most expensive in the range Nokia 8. We're now firmly into 2019 and these devices are still well worth your consideration. TechRadar will help you source the best deal possible for your new Nokia 6. Our price comparison tool takes in prices from all the biggest retailers and resellers so that you can be assured the cheapest price - no matter if you need a contract deal or just the handset to team up with a bargain SIM only deal. SIM free Nokia 6 pricesThe Nokia 6 compares very favourably to other cheap handsets on the SIM-free phone scene. At less than £200 from Carphone Warehouse, it's better value than the likes of the iPhone SE and LG G5 to buy outright, but pricier than the contents of Motorola's bargain basement (i.e. Moto G5, G4 Plus, etc). Consider that you can grab a standalone SIM card for less than a fiver a month and a little bit of fancy footwork could get you a brilliant price overall. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wYMbkZeZHyGsEZLzj79tYH.jpg Solid specs. Full HD display. Premium metal casing. And all for a very affordable price. There isn't much not to like about the Nokia 6. And possibly its best feature is the way it runs from the stock Android 7 interface, making it an absolute doddle to use. For this budget, it's never going to match the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S9 for pure processing power, but you can always pay a little more for the Arte version if you think you'll need more RAM.

When the Sony Xperia XZ Premium hit the shelves two years ago, it massively impressed us with its scintillating 4K display and beguiling slow motion camera. What didn't impress us was the price, which came in only a shade under the steep Samsung Galaxy S8 prices at the time. Xperia XZ Premium deals got gradually cheaper in the months that followed - probably thanks to the arrivals of the iPhone 8 and Galaxy Note 8. And now they have dropped even further (the world of iPhone XS Max and Note 9 prices tends to do that). The only cause for concern is that there now seem to be far fewer XZ Premium deals out there. It's as if the retailers have cleared the stock room to make room for the Xperia XZ2. For the meantime though, we can tell you that the Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a bonafide hit and a genuine step up from the XZ. So use our comparison chart to pick out your perfect deal, before the phone disappears from the shelves completely.

The awesome 4K display and jaunty slow motion camera are just two great examples why the tech giant is charging top dollar for this mobile. If it's a big, fancy phone you're after, you won't be disappointed by the Xperia XZ Premium.

It's been long replaced by the iPhone SE as Apple's go to budget handset, but if you're looking for a cheap iPhone then the iPhone 5S deals are worth considering before committing to your purchase. Unfortunately deals are now far between and we would recommend going for something newer like the iPhone 6S Plus or iPhone SE if you want an iPhone for a budget price. Apple is no longer producing iPhone 5S handsets, and so it's no longer available on contract brand new from any of the major networks. But if you're still interested you can still get one. Refurbished models come on to the market from time to time (although their prices don't look too good) and there are still plenty of retailers stocking the 5S handset only, and for well less than £200. So you could easily buy it SIM-free and then get hold of a cheap SIM only deal to put in it. This will give you much more flexibility than getting it on contract anyway. We've built a dedicated comparison chart below showing all the best unlocked iPhone 5S prices, or hit the 'Handsets' tab at the top of the first table.

It's held up well enough with a good camera and iOS 11 software update - just don't expect the specs of the iPhone X!

It has now been well over three years old (doesn't time just fly!) since the release of the iPhone 6 and it seems that it is beginning to die out. Although it is still around now a lot of companies have stopped selling them and we would recommend going for the iPhone 6S deals instead. But if you're heart really is set on this device grab it fast while there are still deals around. Since its release we have seen devices all the way up from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone XR but the iPhone 6 is still a great device (if you can find the right deal). And luckily for you dear reader you don't have to search anymore because we've done all the research for you! We've rounded up the UK's best contract deals for Apple's iPhone 6. The good news is that the price of the iPhone 6 has fallen through the floor. Now with plenty of deals under £20 a month, there's never been a better time to pick up this still-fantastic phone. And we'd advise against waiting to buy, as we don't see it falling much further now. With the deals you can grab in our comparison chart below, you can fill your boots with unlimited texts and minutes, as well as a healthy slug of data. Buy buy BUY!

The iPhone 6 remains one of the best phones Apple has ever created or, indeed, ever created by any manufacturer. At the time of release, its faster CPU, better graphics and slicker interface really made it seem worth the high price - so now it's a bonafide bargain!

Now well in to its terrible twos, iPhone 6S Plus deals have finally started falling substantially. Pretty much since the advent of the iPhone X and all the way up to the iPhone XR, prices are going in one direction only and you can pay less than £25 per month for the giant handset. It's no great surprise that the trend has been downwards, Between all of the many devices released since the 6S Plus all the way from the 7 Plus up to the iPhone XR there have now been quite a few big screen iPhones to replace this device. The iPhone 6S Plus is the supersized version of the iPhone 6S. It packs all the great features of the 6 Plus, but with added functionality like improved battery life and 3D touch, which enables you to interact with the phone in different ways depending on how you press on the screen. It all seemed so innovative at the time! On this page you'll find a comparison tool right at the top, so you can compare and filter all the UK's best iPhone 6S Plus deals to find your perfect tariff.

Netflix has gained a fair amount of goodwill – and money – from subscribers by refusing to run third-party ads through its TV streaming platform. But this might not be the case forever. BGR reported on a panel discussion of advertising executives this week, at IAB’s Digital Content NewFronts in New York City. Some, like Tara Walpert Levy – who leads Agency and Brand Solutions for Google and YouTube – predict that "eventually, they're going to need more growth." Others, like Kristin Lemkau – CMO of JP Morgan Chase – speculated that a cheaper, ad-supported subscription option for Netflix might be the way forward. What to expect from Disney PlusApple TV Plus vs Netflix: which will you choose?Best movies on NetflixNetflix currently relies on the monthly subscriptions of its massive user base (over 130 million worldwide) to fund the production, marketing, and licensing of its content library. It isn't having a problem turning a profit without ads so far – though the rise of competing services (Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, etc) will put pressure on viewers to juggle several subscriptions or pick one over the other. Ad-dendumThis may simply be hot air. After all, Netflix is a company that has consistently defied expectation, pivoting from a DVD rental company to a huge production studio of original content, and the de facto streaming platform for online TV and films. There may be ways of showing ads less obtrusively than viewers fear. While mid-episode interruptions would likely cause fury, a quick roll-call between episodes could be something of a compromise. Netflix has trialed showing trailers for other Netflix titles as you wait for a new episode to buffer, and is pretty keen to auto-play you trailers as you skim over content in your home page. But we'd be surprised for Netflix to risk the outrage of paying subscribers with anything more, or risk pulling their own traffic towards other websites or retailers, as ads are wont to do.

Amazon Echo speaker owners in the US will soon be able to speak to Alexa in Spanish, thanks to an expansion of the Alexa Skills Kit. According to a blog post by Amazon, the company has added a "Spanish for US voice model", which means that Alexa skills created by developers that are approved for publication will be available in Spanish "to all customers when Alexa launches in the US with Spanish language support later this year". Read our Amazon Echo Show reviewThe best Alexa skills and commandsWant to try the competition? Check out our Google Home reviewThe new feature will come to Echo speakers (naturally). Amazon says that Bose, Facebook, and Sony will all be releasing devices with built-in Alexa that will support the feature – while Philips, TP Link, and Honeywell Home will release "Works with Alexa devices that support Spanish in the US". Alexa for allIt makes sense that Amazon would enable Spanish for US Alexa users; after all, the US boasts the second-largest number of Spanish speakers after Mexico. Amazon hasn't confirmed whether Spanish language support will come to its Blueprints program, which allows anyone to make their own skills with a series of walkthrough templates. The company recently opened up its US Alexa Store to allow anyone to publish and share these skills, and with so many Spanish speakers in the US, it would make sense for Amazon to enable have-a-go developers to publish skills in this language.

The Moto E5 was a budget smartphone with some pretty impressive features for its price point – but its inevitable predecessor could be a little less impressive. According to leaked specs from Mishaal Rahman, who has a respectable track record of hardware information leaks, the Moto E6, which we haven't heard of so far, could be similar to the Moto E5 in many ways, but perhaps a downgrade in others. Is the iPhone 8 Plus now an affordable iPhone?Check out all we know about the OnePlus 7These are the best camera phonesWhat's up with the Moto E6Some of the Moto E6 specs look to be the same as in the Moto E5 – the 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage are all common between the two phones. While the Moto E5 ran on a Snapdragon 425 chipset, the Moto E6 apparently runs on a Snapdragon 430, so it has a modest step up in terms of processor, and the 32GB memory option may appeal to some. But in other ways, the Moto E6 is a downgrade, specifically in terms of screen specs. While we praised the Moto E5's 5.7-inch screen size, at 5.45 inches the Moto E6 would actually be a smaller phone, although Rahman does admit he's not totally sure of these dimensions. While we typically expect new phones to be improvements on their predecessors, if this leak is accurate, it suggests the Moto E6 could be mostly the same, and with one important downgrade. The Moto E series phones have a roughly yearly release schedule – if the Moto E6 is released a year on from the Moto E5, we'd expect to see it in the next few months, so stay tuned to TechRadar to find out the final Moto E6 specs.

For quite some time now, if you've wanted to get serious about your photography your best option is to have invested in a DSLR camera. These cameras are designed for users at all technical levels, and they have traditionally offered three main advantages over smartphones and compacts: a large sensor, plenty of manual control, and the option to change lenses to suit the scene and subject. Today, mirrorless cameras are incredibly popular as they manage to offer the benefits described above but, usually, in an even more compact and lighter package. The reason for this is that they lack the mirror common to DSLRs (hence the name), and most replace the optical viewfinder with high-resolution, electronic alternatives too. They may use smaller and lighter lenses too, which further helps to reduce size and weight. If you want to know more about how they compare, read this: Mirrorless vs DSLR: 10 key differences. Or, if you want to know more about different camera types in general, check out our step-by-step guide: What camera should I buy? While mirrorless cameras are grabbing all the headlines at the moment, don't think DSLRs are dead and buried. A DSLR is still the cheapest way to get a camera with interchangeable lenses and a viewfinder (you'll find most entry-level mirrorless cameras don't have viewfinders). At the other end of the scale, almost all professional sports, press and wildlife photographers choose full-frame DSLRs over every other camera type. That said, there are some cracking mirrorless cameras out there at the moment that are taking the place of DSLRs in pro photographers' kit bags, including the Nikon Z7, Fujifilm X-T3, Panasonic Lumix G9 and Sony Alpha A7R III. In between entry-level and full-frame DSLRs are a whole range of models aimed at different users, different levels of experience and different budgets. Here's our pick of the best DSLR cameras you can buy right now. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/12a8f6a2f0eb2fcbcaf20d54582f5d75.jpg Before we get onto our top 10 picks of the best DSLRs you can buy right now, let's take a look at this great value option. Nikon's D7200 may be showing its age in a few places, but its still loaded with all the core features every enthusiast needs to take their imaging to the next level. The 24.2MP sensor produces great images, while the 6fps burst shooting option and excellent 51-point autofocus system make it easy to grab shots of moving subjects. On top of that you get Full HD video to 60p along with Wi-Fi and NFC. Read our in-depth Nikon D7200 reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg Best DSLR cameras in 2019If you're looking for the ultimate DSLR right now (or any camera for that matter), then the Nikon D850 is it. This full-frame monster of a camera might be on the pricey side, but for the cash you get a stunning camera that won't disappoint. The huge 45.4MP sensor delivers images with stunning detail and noise performance even at high ISOs, while the highly sophisticated 153-point AF system is borrowed from Nikon's flagship D5. Add in 7fps burst shooting and a host of advanced features, wrap it in a durable magnesium alloy body and you've got a camera that's pretty much at the top of its game for any subject you want to shoot. A brilliant piece of kit. Like the sound of the D850, but want to go mirrorless? Well, while not strictly a mirrorless version of the D850, Nikon's newer Z7 mirrorless camera shares the same 45MP resolution as the D850, but features some clever tech of its own, including an all-new lens mount. Read our in-depth Nikon D850 reviewWatch our hands-on video below (Nikon D850 review): http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg Canon's EOS 5D series of cameras has a rich heritage – the original EOS 5D bought full-frame photography to the masses, the Mark II unleashed Full HD video capture for the first time on a DSLR, and while the Mark III became a firm favourite amongst photographers for doing everything it did so well. The EOS 5D Mark IV pretty much tweaks and improves on everything before it, with a newer 30.4MP sensor and advanced 61-point AF system along with 4K video recording. It's still a brilliant DSLR that was until recently our top pick, but the arrival of the D850 means it slips a place down to number two. Read our in-depth Canon EOS 5D Mark IV reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg Nikon has taken its flagship D5 DSLR and most of its high-end features and distilled all of this into a smaller, but still very durable metal body. The full-frame sensor is replaced by an 20.9MP APS-C sized chip that allows the D500 to shoot at a rapid 10fps and deliver a great high ISO performance. A brilliant all-rounder with a high-performance 153-point AF system means it excels at fast action like sports and wildlife photography, but still has the chops to shoot landscapes and portraits. If the cost is a bit steep, then take a look at the D7500 below. Read our in-depth Nikon D500 reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg The D7500 is cheaper than the D500, and while it doesn't offer quite the same pro-spec performance and build quality, it packs the same excellent 20.9MP sensor inside an even more compact and affordable body. The new camera may not get the 153-point AF system from the D500, but the enhanced 51-point system in the D7500 still puts a lot of rival systems in the shade, while the 4K video capture, tilt-angle touchscreen display and 8fps burst shooting are some of the other highlights. If you're on a bit of a tighter budget, take a look at the 24.2MP D7200 - it may have been surpassed by the D7500, but it's still one of the best enthusiast DSLRs out there. Read our in-depth Nikon D7500 reviewWatch our video review of the Nikon D7500 below http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg The EOS 80D is Canon's high-end enthusiast DSLR, and while it might be getting on a bit – it's one of the oldest DSLRs in the Canon line-up – it's still a great buy. It features a fast and effective 45-point autofocusing system, while the clever Dual Pixel CMOS AF system for Live View shooting delivers snappy focusing speeds. The camera's handling is excellent, promoting creative shooting as well as making setting adjustments quick and easy. It also has a high-quality 24.2MP sensor that is able to capture a good level of detail while keeping noise under control. A great enthusiast DSLR that packs a decent performance. Read our in-depth Canon EOS 80D reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg At the opposite end of the spectrum to some of the full-frame DSLRs here, the D3500 is super affordable, has one of the sharpest APS-C sensors out there, and a neat retracting kit lens (there are two versions, spend the extra $20/£20 and get it with VR, Nikon's image stabilization system). It's proof that you don't have to pay a fortune to get a great camera, and we say its value for money makes it just as impressive as much more advanced (and much more expensive) alternatives. It has a great 24MP sensor and although the controls are designed to be simple for novices, in the right hands the little D3500 is a match for cameras costing far more. If you're looking to get more creative with your photography, and looking for your first DSLR, the Nikon D3500 is hard to beat. Read our in-depth Nikon D3500 reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg Costing a bit more than the Nikon D3400, but offering quite a bit more in the way of features, the Canon EOS Rebel T7i (known as the EOS 800D outside the US) is a great entry-level DSLR. The sensor impresses, as does the 45-point autofocus system backed up by excellent live view AF, while the graphical interface will certainly make this camera even more appealing to new users. The absence of 4K video and the quality of the exterior materials disappoint, but this aside, if you're looking for a well-rounded and easy to use camera for your first DSLR the EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D is certainly a very good bet. Read our in-depth Canon EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg Like the look of Nikon's D850 further up the top, but don't want to shell out quite that much? Then look no further than the 24MP full-frame D750. It doesn't have that magnificent 45MP sensor that the D850 does, but its 24MP alternative still delivers top-quality results – especially at high ISO settings. The D750 also features a very respectable 6.5fps continuous shooting speed, together with a handy tilting screen and a pretty attractive asking price. Wi-Fi allows you to get your shots online without any hassle too, although as an older model there's no 4K video nor a touchscreen. Read our in-depth Nikon D750 reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg Still one of the best options for sports and action photographers, the EOS 7D Mark II has performance and speed as its primary focus. To that end, it combines a 20.7MP APS-C sensor with Canon's excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF system for smooth autofocus in live view and during video recording, together with a 10fps burst shooting mode and a 65-point AF system. It also boasts excellent ergonomics and a rugged, weather-resistant body, which makes it a fine choice for anyone who tends to shoot outside in variable conditions, whether it's for sports, wildlife, nature or landscapes. Read our in-depth Canon EOS 7D Mark II reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg It may not be the smallest or most affordable way into Canon's vast EOS DSLR ecosystem, and has recently been updated by the Rebel SL3, but we'd sooner choose the Rebel SL2 – also known as the EOS 200D – over the company's more junior and older offerings. Its strong feature set includes Canon's excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which delivers swift autofocus during videos and in live view, while the LCD screen flips out and responds to touch – and it's 2019, after all, so why settle for anything less? Despite its small size, handling is great too, making it a solid choice for those with small or larger hands alike. What's not to love? Other than the understandably plasticky body and lack of 4K video, not much at all. Read our in-depth Canon EOS Rebel SL2 / 200D reviewhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg Also consider...It's been on the market for some time but we still have a soft spot for the D5300 – and the fact that it can still be bought brand new is testament to just how relevant it continues to be. It provides first-time DSLR users with a stronger set of specs than the average entry-level DSLR, with a 3.2in LCD that flips all the way out to face the front, together with a 39-point AF system, Full HD video recording to 60p and 5fps burst shooting. Of course, none of that would matter if the image quality wasn't up to scratch, but fortunately it is; the 24.1MP APS-C sensor has been designed without the optical low-pass filter to help as much detail to get into images as possible, and results at high ISO settings remain strong. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/x6a9KSnvLiFgwihQYRQr28.jpg Best cameraBest entry-level DSLRBest DSLRBest mirrorless cameraBest 4K cameraBest full-frame cameraBest compact cameraWhat camera should I buy?Mirrorless vs DSLR: 10 key differencesCamera rumorshttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oyYK5qmxghsTkZPPmJ3DbK.jpg http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/wYCr2ofYvOU

The AMD Radeon VII, AMD’s recent high-end graphics card, isn’t just great at pushing pixels while playing games, as it appears to be the new king of Ethereum cryptocurrency mining when it comes to performance. According to VoskCoin, a member of the Bitcointalk forum, the Radeon VII is able to achieve a hash rate of 90MH/s without any tweaking. As Wccftech points out, this is almost three times the performance of the AMD RX Vega 64, and handily beats the 69MH/s hash rate of Nvidia’s powerful Titan V graphics card. How to mine Ethereum on your PCBest mining GPUBest mining motherboardsIf you’re happy to do some tweaking to the GPU, then the AMD Radeon VII will perform even better, with a hash rate of between 90MH/s and 100MH/s. These impressive results are in part thanks to the improved memory bandwidth of the new card, and the Radeon VII comes with a memory bandwidth of 1TB/s and 16GB of HBM2 (High Bandwidth Memory), whereas the older RX Vega 64 has a memory bandwidth of 484GB/s and 8GB of HBM2. Perhaps most importantly of all, the Radeon VII is a more powe-efficient card, which brings running costs down when you’re using it to mine every hour of the day. Clash of the TitansThe Titan V was once considered one of the very best GPUs for cryptocurrency mining, able to mine Ethereum twice as fast as the RX Vega 64. The fact that the AMD Radeon VII breezes past Nvidia’s GPU when it comes to Ethereum mining is noteworthy because even though the Titan V is now a few years old, it still costs near $2,999 (around £2,200, AU$4,000), compared to the Radeon VII, which costs $699 (£699, around AU$980). A much lower cost, for much better results, makes the Radeon VII a far better purchase for budding miners. While the popularity of cryptocurrency mining has died down of late, the release of this card, which offers such good results for such a reasonable price, could convince many people to fire up their old mining rigs again. Check out VoskCoin’s video review of the Radeon VII’s mining capabilities below.

In the latest blow to consumer privacy, researchers have discovered that the addresses and personal details of over 80m US households have been left unsecured in a cloud database. The group of independent security researchers, led by Noam Rotem, have found that the unidentified database contains names, ages and genders as well as income levels and marital status. Some of the information such as gender, marital status and income level is coded while the names, ages and addresses are not. Fortunately, the data stored in the database does not include any payment information or Social Security numbers. Microsoft ups cloud security with Azure Sentinel launchData in the cloud is more exposed than organisations thinkEU to create major biometric databaseRotem and his team have verified that the data is accurate but the team of researchers did not download the data in order to minimize the invasion of privacy of those whose information is listed. Exposed databaseRotem partnered with the Israeli VPN review site VPNMentor to conduct his research and in a recently published blog post, the company called on the public to help identify the owner of the database hosted on Microsoft Azure. Securing the data inside the database is not Microsoft's responsibility but rather that of its owners. However, if the owner can be identified, the company could contact its customer to let it know of the problem. The server hosting the data first came online February according to Rotem who discovered it in April using tools he had developed to search for and catalog unsecured databases. The database contains information about adults aged 40 and over who could be even more susceptible to scammers trying to obtain their information to try to defraud them. Rotem's discovery of the unsecured database could lead to its owner being identified but even more so, his research sheds light on the fact that open databases full of valuable user information exist online and could make online fraud even easier for cybercriminals.

Anki, the San Francisco-based company behind smart, pocket-sized robots Vector and Cozmo, is shutting down this week. According to Recode, almost 200 employees are being made redundant on Wednesday, and will receive just a week of severance pay. Check out the best robot toys of 2019Clean up with our guide to the best robot vacuumsHow Anki made robots with real personalityAnki has attracted serious investment in the past, from big names including Index Ventures (which also backed Slack, Etsy, Skype and Just Eat in their early days) and Andreessen Horowitz (whose portfolio includes BuzzFeed, Facebook, Honor and Github). Unfortunately, hardware is a notoriously expensive business and the company was left struggling after a more recent round of funding fell through. CEO Boris Sofman had previously told staff that companies including Microsoft, Amazon and Comcast were interested in acquiring Anki, but such a deal never materialized. “Despite our past successes, we pursued every financial avenue to fund our future product development and expand on our platforms,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to Recode. Powering downIt's a shame for a company that was so committed to the idea of robots as household companions. The most sophisticated of its devices, Vector, recently became compatible with Amazon Alexa, making it part pet and part free-roaming virtual assistant. The company was keen to state that its products weren't toys, instead pitching them as AI-powered companions, and bringing experienced character designers on board to infuse them with personality. "I feel like the future of home robotics needs to include character," Meghan McDowell, director of program management at Anki, told TechRadar in an interview earlier this year. "We've seen with Vector, and even some of our previous products like Cozmo, that adding character to AI and robotics really is where the magic happens. It’s really important to the future of people accepting robots in their homes, to have people feel comfortable, and have a better, richer, deeper experience with their robot." Sadly, it seems that household robots (at least for purposes other than housework) are still some way off becoming mainstream. Are robot pets and companions useful, or just sad gimmicks?http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/fmKhwUD-gPo

Set to launch alongside the Honor 20, the higher spec Honor 20 Pro has leaked again, and this time it shows off a third color that we can expect for the phone as well as a hint at the camera tech. We've already seen the phone leak in both a pink/white gradient finish as well as a teal color, and today's rumor suggests it will also come in black. Spotted by Pocket Now, you can see the black variant in a leaked image below. The website has yet to show exactly where the image comes from, but it has a good history of accurate leaks. Everything about the next iPhoneAll the Galaxy Note 10 rumorsThere are leaks aplenty of the OnePlus 7http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2CiRGW8RM3ohwWHAk5br4k.jpg Image Credit: PocketNow The leak also suggests the company will include the periscope-zoom lens feature that Huawei debuted on the P30 Pro earlier this year. The camera on the render of the phone looks similar to how Huawei set it out on the P30 Pro, so it's likely you'll be capable of getting some fantastic zoom shots with the Honor 20 Pro too. We wouldn't expect the camera to be as powerful as the one on Huawei's flagship. Honor often uses similar tech, but as it's a lower priced device it may be the company won't be able to reach the same level of camera quality as the P30 Pro. Honor is hosting an event on May 21, which is where we expect to see the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro launch. There may be more devices in that list too, so be sure to check back in the coming weeks for the most recent leaks.

New research from O'Reilly Media has revealed that Europe is struggling to keep pace with global cloud development. The company's Evolving Data Infrastructure report also revealed that companies in the region have been slower than others to adopt the necessary tools and capabilities for cutting-edge solutions such as analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). European organizations are aiming to make progress this year by investing heavily in data solutions to catch up. However, persistent skill shortages may continue to derail the region's efforts to emerge as a world leader in future technologies. Europeans "have lost control" of their personal dataA recipe for avoiding disaster in the cloudMobile phones are too fragile for European businessesBusinesses in Europe have been slower to adopt cloud-based data infrastructures than the rest of the world with less than a quarter (24%) having used cloud in production for over four years. Surprisingly as many as a third (32%) of European companies say they are 'just exploring' cloud options and are yet to commit. Looking to the futureDespite falling behind in cloud adoptions, European organizations broadly align with the rest of the world when it comes to their future priorities. The region has invested heavily in solutions that will help improve accessibility and usability of data with 59 percent building or evaluating solutions in data integration and extract, transform, load (ETL) processes. When it comes to adopting DevOps modes of working, Europe has been slightly faster than the rest of the world with almost half (48%) of the organizations surveyed saying they are using specialized DevOps roles for machine cloud computing services and deployments, compared to 47 percent worldwide. However, European progress in data infrastructure and analytics is being held back by skill shortages in several key areas. Data science talent is in especially high demand (47%) as well as data engineering (37%) roles. Companies in the region are also finding it slightly higher on average to fill roles in security. Chief Data Scientist and Program Chair for the Strata Data Conference at O'Reilly Media, Ben Lorica provided further insight on the report's findings, saying: “Innovation needs a strong foundation. Years of delayed investment and a reliance on legacy infrastructures may be holding European organisations back in the global race to the cloud. Yet, whilst they have some way to go before they achieve parity with their counterparts, it’s positive to see so many investing in data. A strong core of organised, clean and actionable data is crucial for any AI or analytics project.

Web hosting provider and domain registrar GoDaddy has taken down over 15,000 subdomains following a two year investigation into a spam operation that tried to sell consumers fake products. First users would receive a spam email promoting a product and if they happened to click on any of the links contained within the message, they would be sent to one of the fraudulent subdomains which were hosted on legitimate sites without their owner's knowledge. All of the subdomains that were part of the scam shared one thing in common, they all sold products backed by fake endorsements from celebrities including Stephen Hawking, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Wolf Blitzer, the cast from Shark Tank and others. How web hosting affects securityThe 10 most common cybersecurity scams uncoveredWorld's largest web hosting sites hit by security fearsIn terms of the fake products being peddled on these scam subdomains, the majority were health-related such as CBD oil, weight loss pills and brain supplements. Hacked GoDaddy accountsThe massive network of shady domains was first discovered by security researcher Jeff White at Palo Alto Networks two years ago and since then he has been collecting the spam emails sent out in the campaign and indexing the subdomain URLs promoting these fake products. White shared his findings with GoDaddy earlier this year and the company then launched its own investigation into the matter in which it discovered that the group behind the scam had likely used either phishing or credential stuffing attacks to gain access to its customers' accounts. After gaining access to a user's GoDaddy account, the cybercriminals would create a subdomain for their legitimate sites that would later be used to host shady product pages and lure users with spam email campaigns. The web host has put the number of hacked accounts at “several hundred”. After taking down more than 15k subdomains from its servers, GoDaddy also reset the passwords for the accounts that had been compromised and notified the users that had been impacted. In related web hosting news, ICANN, the organization which oversees the domain name system, has proposed an end to price caps on the .org, .info and .biz top-level domains. The move comes at a time when the domain name system has seen thousands of new extensions added over the past five years, all of which are free to set their own prices. If the change does go into effect, the cost of hosting a website could rise significantly over the next few years.

Long gone are the days when gamers called the Nintendo Switch a "Zelda machine". Two years into the console's lifespan, the Nintendo Switch has a lively and jam-packed assortment of titles to keep you occupied, whether you're nestled into your sofa, linking up to your TV, or blasting quick gaming sessions on your commute. You now have the choice between Nintendo's tentpole releases like Breath of the Wild or Super Mario Odyssey – obviously both on this list – or indie darlings like Little Nightmares or Wargroove providing smaller but equally worthwhile adventures to be played on the Switch. Looking to enhance your experience? Check out our picks of the best Nintendo Switch accessoriesNot got the console yet? These are the best Nintendo Switch deals aroundBut with so of the best video games out there, how can you narrow down your options? Well, we've done our best to bring together the very best titles to have come to the Switch so far – all of which are available to download or buy right now. If none catch your eye, don't worry, because we'll be trying the latest and greatest Nintendo Switch games and updating this list throughout the year. We have a separate guide for the best online multiplayer Switch games, but otherwise sit back in your gaming chair and read on for the best 30 Switch games currently available on Nintendo's bestselling console. Watch our review of the Nintendo Switch below! For the first time ever, Square Enix is bringing some of its most-revered 32-bit era Final Fantasy games to a Nintendo console. First up – Final Fantasy IX. It has been brought to the Nintendo Switch as a reworking of the recent PC and PS4 versions, with new added on-the-go portability thanks to the Switch's form factor. Now, admittedly, the Switch port leaves some things to be desired as it carries over some problems introduced by the ports to other systems. But Final Fantasy IX remains a classic of a JRPG, and one that shouldn’t be missed on the Nintendo Switch. A charming high-fantasy tale, it was the series at its 32-bit height, pushing the PlayStation to its limits. This Nintendo Switch version takes advantage of the more modern hardware by smoothing out background textures and bringing a far greater level of detail to character models. And then, of course, the stone-cold classic that is Final Fantasy VII. For many it will have been their first introduction to JRPG gaming – all big-haired sad-boys and turn-based magic battles. But its epic, sci-fi tinged tale of a world on the brink of collapse, and a rag-tag gang of freedom fighters trying to save it, is perhaps more relevant today than it was back in 1997. Of the two ports, it's the more polished, too – it's quality-of-life improvements, such as sped-up battles and skippable random fights have been more seamlessly integrated. It's the best way to play the game today. Being able to bring lengthy titles like these out and about with you, before settling in for a longer dedicated session at home is likely just what some will need to finally finish this games after having owned them on several platforms over the past two decades. Read our full review: Final Fantasy IX on Nintendo Switch is a fantastic game, and an OK port Have you ever had one of those moment where you’ve done something really cool, and there was no-one around to see it? That’d be a bit like Nintendo’s 2012 release, New Super Mario Bros. U for the Wii U. The culmination of six years work which had kicked off with the New Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo DS in 2006, reimagining the classic 2D side-scrolling Mario titles, New Super Mario Bros. U was an under appreciated joy upon its release. This was simply by virtue of the Wii U console itself shifting so few units. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe resurrects an under-appreciated platforming star on Switch, bringing Nintendo’s signature charm, a scalable challenge based on the characters you play as, and sits up there with the best 2D Mario games ever released. Whether you pick it up on the Nintendo Switch or are inspired to dust off a Wii U console, it deserves to be played. Wargroove is a turn-based strategy game set in a medieval fantasy world, one where trees become giant soldiers, vampires assassinate kings, and a royal dog commands his very good battalion to victory. And we can't put it down. It may look uncannily like Advance Wars - and plays largely like it too - but Wargroove manages to recreate the series’ blend of depth and accessibility while remaining fun in its own way too. You’ll find an engaging war narrative, packed with lively and witty encounters between the colorful cast of characters - with some gorgeous sprite animations - while offering plenty of strategy and a dedicated map-editor to create your own battle terrains. There's even cross-platform play with Windows and Xbox One! If the idea of throwing around the ol' Pokeball gives you the warm and fuzzies, check out Pokemon Let's Go: Pikachu and Eevee. Basically a re-imagining of Pokemon Yellow Version, Pikachu and Eevee take you through the Kanto region on your quest to become the Pokemon Master. Eight gym leaders, four elite masters and dozens of members of Team Rocket stand in your way, but as long as you can keep the rock, paper, scissors-esque battling system in mind, these games are a light-hearted stroll down memory lane. That said, it's not the perfected version of the formula that Pokemon Stars could be when it releases in 2019, but for now it's hands down the best Pokemon game on the Nintendo Switch, and one that will easily keep us entertained for the next few months until we hear more Pokemon news at E3 2019. Fan of old-school 16-bit RPGs? Wish they could get a HD facelift without losing the pixel-perfect magic of the 90s era? Octopath Traveller may be the Nintendo Switch game you'd dreamed for a time machine for as a kid. Channeling the magic of the early Final Fantasy games (and published by Square Enix, naturally), it melds pixel art with polygonal environments, like a love letter to the role playing games of old. Picking up the story of one of 8 uniquely-talented adventurers, there's an epic world saving story to follow, a clever turn-based combat system to master and a great voice-acted script to enjoy too. Fantastic fun. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a real gem in the Nintendo Switch game pile. A re-release of the well-received Wii U title, Captain Toad is an action puzzle game that puts you in the shoes of the Mushroom Kingdom's most lovable sidekick. While puzzles are a bit on the easier side for older 'kids' who might be playing (a term we'll use loosely here), pint-sized adventurers will have to use their noodle to collect items without running into the paths of enemies. It's good, clean, IQ-enhancing fun – which is the best kind of fun! While we're all waiting for a new Metroid Prime game to land on the Nintendo Switch, you can still get your side-scrolling Metroidvania fix with the superb Hollow Knight. You know the score – you're placed in the center of a sprawling map that slowly reveals its scale as you unlock new abilities to traverse increasingly difficult traps, and take on ever-more monstrous foes. Secrets sit around every corner, and the sense of satisfaction you get when you backtrack to a previously-inaccessible location once armed with the right skills is unsurpassed in all of gaming. Hollow Knight separates itself from other Metroidvania titles with its distinct art style (mysterious underground bug city? Count us in), and its nods to the Dark Souls series, with tough boss fights and the strangely aloof citizens of its subterranean setting. Easily one of the best Nintendo Switch games around. Freshly-added to the Nintendo Switch line-up of games, if Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is just half as popular on the Switch as it was for the PS4 it's bound to do very, very well. Maybe it's everyone's current love of nostalgia from their earlier days? Whatever the case, the remaster of Crash Bandicoot is very likely to pull at your heart strings. It has everything you knew and loved from the original game, but enhanced and revamped, and there are plenty of new levels and adventures that have been added to make this a better experience than ever. Mario and his crew are some of the most talented fictional characters in the known universe. They can golf, they can compete at the Olympics, some of them are doctors, plumbers and princesses. And now they play tennis, too, in this excellent Nintendo Switch game. Mario Tennis Aces has been heralded as a combination of Super Smash Bros. and the old Mario Tennis games released on the Nintendo GameCube and N64. To that end, gameplay is lightning-quick and requires superb reflexes. The big changes this time around are the new super moves that cause rackets to break and balls to fly to nigh unreachable spots on the court. They add a new layer of strategy to the long-running Mario sport franchise and fun, too. Pick this one up at your earliest opportunity. Golden bananas, rickety minecarts and cranky kongs – the king of the gaming apes, Donkey Kong, is back! And it's already one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there. If you've previously been a Wii U owner, this may well feel like a very familiar adventure, as Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is actually a remake of that system's simian-themed platformer. The Switch version is easily the definitive version of the game though, bringing not only with it the Switch's signature handheld play, but also a new 'Funky Mode' that lets you take control of Funky Kong, a returning character who is just that little bit faster and able to leap just that little bit further, making a very challenging platformer a tad easier for the smaller cheeky monkeys in your family. Star Allies is Kirby's debut on Switch – and it's a good one, even if it is largely your familiar Kirby fare. Fans of Kirby's previous adventures will recognize the colorful side-scrolling platformer gameplay and enemy absorbing powers, but there's a new mechanic which allows Kirby to throw hearts at enemies and recruit up to three of them to his side to be controlled by either AI or real-life friends. Though it's not the most engaging single-player game, and might not leave long-time fans as satisfied as they might have hoped, Star Allies is a co-op experience that shouldn't be missed, especially if you're looking for a game to play with your kids. Part software, part hardware, Nintendo Labo is a must-have for anyone who enjoys Nintendo's more quirky and play-focused ideas. Build your own cardboard toys, play games with them, explore how they work and reprogram them to do what you want. With Nintendo Labo the only real limit is your patience and imagination: build a fishing rod and catch a shark, build a piano and control a musical cat choir, built a robot and, well, become a robot. It's all possible with Labo. Nintendo Labo is certainly one of the more original and even educational releases we've seen in years and it can only be played on the Nintendo Switch. It's easily one of the best 'games' for the device. Not everyone would have had the chance to enjoy Bayonetta 2 when it was first released back in 2014, thanks to its Wii U exclusivity. Fortunately, it's now a Nintendo Switch game too, finally giving it the reach it deserves. Bayonetta 2 is an excellent game, with fast-paced and satisfying combat, jaw-dropping animations and frankly outstanding fashion choices. Even better, when you purchase a physical copy of Bayonetta 2, you'll also receive a free download code for the original game. More than anything, this is a great way to prepare for Bayonetta 3, which has been confirmed as being in development for the Switch. Super Mario Odyssey is Mario's first real outing on the Nintendo Switch and he makes his debut in style. Odyssey is a 3D sandbox adventure that sees Mario travel between a wide range of worlds to save Princess Peach from the nefarious and maritally-minded Bowser. Giving the old formula a bit of a refresh, this game sees the traditional Power Ups replaced with a new companion for Mario called Cappy. This sentient hat is Mario's weapon and friend and he can be used to possess enemies and objects to solve puzzles and defeat foes. In our full review for Super Mario Odyssey we called this game "one of Mario's finest adventures in recent memory" and recommend that you play it now – it's instantly one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there. If you decide to pick the game up for yourself, don't forget to check out our tips and tricks guide to help you get started. Even for a series like The Legend of Zelda which rarely puts a foot wrong, Breath of the Wild is an absolutely phenomenal game on the Nintendo Switch. While past Zelda games have stuck pretty closely to the formula established by Ocarina of Time (the series' 3D debut), Breath of the Wild throws much of the established wisdom away. Rather than having a pre-defined order you must use to approach each major mission, Breath of the Wild opens the entire map up to you almost immediately, allowing you to approach the game in whatever order you see fit. You can spend hours just climbing trees and brewing elixirs, or you can even head straight to the game’s final boss if you're feeling a little more confident. Away from Breath of the Wild's unique structure, it's the puzzles themselves that make the game feel the most satisfying. While previous games rigidly allow for a single solution to each puzzle, BotW's physics-based problem solving means that there are often multiple solutions to each challenge depending on how you combine your various skills. The result is a game that feels incredibly broad in scope, with so many little touches to discover that it’s hard not to fall in love with this long-running series all over again. Check out everything you need to know in our Breath of the Wild tips and tricks guideMario Kart 8 on the Wii U was already one of the best entries in the franchise, and the Nintendo Switch version is no different. At its core the game offers the same excellent racing as the Wii U original, but there are also a number of new additions for this version of the arcade racer. You've got the return of battle mode, new characters, all the previously released DLC tracks, and the ability to hold two special items at a time to add an extra layer of strategy to your racing. The new game is also a great way of playing the game in multiplayer. You can play online, in split-screen with up to four players, or link up to eight consoles together to play multiplayer wirelessly (where you can also play with up to two players per console). It's a versatile release, and well worth picking up for anyone who missed out on Mario Kart 8 the first time around. Get ahead of the competition with our Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tips and tricksIf you want to satisfy your arcade racing itch then Fast RMX is the game for you, and is a fantastic fit for the Switch. With one part Wipeout and two parts F-Zero, the game has you racing futuristic hovercraft round a series of implausible tracks at breakneck speeds. Fast RMX's main gimmick is that at any point your craft has either an orange or a blue polarity, which match with speed power-ups that are spread around the track. By switching your polarity as you race, you can maximize the benefits these power-ups bring. It’s a neat feature, but it's overshadowed by how technically capable this game is. It looks fantastic whether you're playing it in portable or console mode, where it will run at a solid 60 frames-per-second. It might not have the charm of its Mario-themed competitor, but Fast RMX is a great game for anyone seeking fast-paced arcade racing thrills. Splatoon was the closest Nintendo has ever allowed itself to get to an online shooter, and it did so by fundamentally turning the genre on its head. That means no guns, no bullets, and ultimately no death. Instead, you play as characters with paint guns tasked with covering the map in your team's colors. You can kill (well, 'splat') your enemies, but you do so only in service of buying yourself time to paint more of the map without your opponents (and their painting) getting in the way. While Splatoon 2 is technically a sequel, in truth it's more of the same. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The original game was tightly designed and well-balanced, and while the sequel makes some minor tweaks to the gameplay, the same Nintendo charm is still present in spades. If you never played the original then Splatoon 2 is an easy game to recommend, but even if you did then it might be worth jumping in again to revisit it on Nintendo's portable system. For our money it's certainly one of the best Nintendo Switch games you can pick up. If you want to get ahead of the competition then our Splatoon 2 tips and tricks guide will help you do just that. Bandai Namco's Little Nightmares is a big adventure on Nintendo Switch. First released on consoles and PC in 2017, this new take on the horror genre is a welcome addition to Nintendo's portable console. Players take up the role of a young girl called Six, who is trapped in the Maw, a terrifying place filled with monsters that are larger than life. Across a range of platforming levels, players must help Six overcome her small stature and escape the Maw. Little Nightmares is a game with a palpable atmosphere – the different levels and their respective monsters are grim and frightening, and we frequently found ourselves tense and holding our breath as we tried to get through a level. It's unusual to get such a thrill from such thoughtful and quiet gameplay. The Nintendo Switch release of the game is the Complete Edition, and contains all three DLC releases, the last of which was launched in February 2018. Anyone who loves classic point-and-click adventure stories such as Broken Sword and Monkey Island will certainly want to direct their attention towards this recent release from LucasArts veteran Ron Gilbert. Mechanically, the game works like the classics of the genre with lots of slow-paced obtuse puzzle solving and verb-list clicking. Even visually it's very similar to the games that have influenced it. If you're tired of playing the same classics on repeat, pick up Thimbleweed Park for your Nintendo Switch for an excellent new addition to the point-and-click genre. You'll travel back to 1987 for a neo-noir adventure that you won't want to leave. It's tough to know what genre to describe Arms as: at its core, the game is a fighting game where you attempt to land punches on your opponent using giant extendible arms. Punch-Out this is not. What first appeared to be a slightly gimmicky title made to show off the Nintendo Switch's motion-sensing controllers actually turned out to have a surprising amount of depth and strategy to it, leading to some frantic multiplayer battles. Nicely, the whole game can also be played with more traditional buttons rather than control schemes, so you don't have to get caught flailing your arms around on the bus when you play it as a portable game. Having trouble landing your punches? Check out our Arms tips and tricks guideOver twenty years after its original release it's hard to know what more can be written about one of the most influential fighting games of all time. It easily jumps int our list of the best Nintendo Switch games you can buy right now. Ultra Street Fighter 2 is essentially the same Street Fighter 2 that's been continuously re-released on every console under the sun. Technically this version is based on Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo from 1994, which added super and air combos to the base game, but unless you're a die-hard fan this likely won't mean too much to you. So don't go into this expecting a wildly different game from what you've played before. This is a traditional Street Fighter experience through and through, and the console's form-factor makes it perfect for quick multiplayer sessions. Overcooked was one of the breakout indie hits of 2016, and now it's come to the Nintendo Switch in fantastic style. There game is best played with a group of friends, which is perfect considering you always have at least two controllers with your Switch. But what do you actually do? In essence you play as a group of chefs trying desperately to cook meals without your customers getting angry or your kitchen catching on fire. With each person only able to do one thing at a time, and most meals requiring multiple stages of preparation, this forces you to split tasks up between you. The problem is that every task proceeds at a slightly different pace, meaning you're constantly having to change your plans to deal with problems as they arise. It's frantic, it's great with friends, and it's a perfect fit for the Switch – one of the best experiences we've enjoyed on the console. Shovel Knight is not a new game – it saw its first release way back in 2014 on the PC after it was funded on Kickstarter, and since then versions have appeared on everything from the Vita to the PS4, the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U. But that doesn’t make it any less of a great game on the Nintendo Switch, where its 2D side-scrolling is as tight and responsive as ever. Chances are you've played Shovel Knight on one system or another in previous years, but if you've yet to take the game on the go, or better yet if you’re looking to try its newest expansion pack, 'Specter of Torment', then the Switch is as good a place as any to satisfy your Shovel cravings. Another home console classic now given a new lease of life on Switch is LA Noire. It's unusual to see 18-rated games on Nintendo consoles, but it's nevertheless exciting that the Switch is building up a more mature library. Created by Rockstar, LA Noire is a 1940s detective title which puts players in the smart leather shoes of Cole Phelps. As Phelps, you'll dive into the seedy underbelly of LA, solving a variety of cases across the LAPD's Homicide, Vice and Arson divisions. Aside from letting you take a great game on the go, the Switch version of LA Noire has some neat features such as motion control support. This means you can pick up evidence at crime scenes and inspect it from every angle using the Joy-Con controllers. Read more of our thoughts on LA Noire for the Nintendo Switch. The legendary and hugely addictive dungeon-crawler finally come to the Switch. Sure, you've been able to play the game on PC, Xbox and Playstation for a good few years now – with over 30 million copies sold across all platforms, and a rumored Netflix TV series in the works – but this is the first time Blizzard's medieval fantasy RPG has gone portable. You pick one of seven distinct character classes and begin your wayward journey to take on the lord of terror himself, Diablo. Somehow accessible with satisfying depth to the gameplay, Diablo 3 strikes a perfect balance between hardcore and more casual gaming. The addictive loot system and character upgrades will keep you coming back again and again. And with the newly-added convenience of carrying about wherever you are, the Switch port makes a great case for grinding on the go. Whether you're new to the series or just want another Diablo fix, this is one of the best titles available on the Switch right now. This crossover has surprised a lot of people, us included. Though Nintendo's Mario and Ubisoft's Rabbid rabbits doesn't seem like a combination that should work it really does. This is a turn-based tactical game and it's incredibly fun to play thanks to gameplay that's satisfyingly complex and deep without being overly difficult – though the difficulty increases, it's in a gradual way that doesn't result in feelings of being overwhelmed. Mario Rabbids is also just a lovely game to look at – the level design is consistently fantastic and the world and its characters are adorable and colorful. Joining up with Mario lends Ubisoft's Rabbids a charm they've lacked until now, while Mario and co benefit from the partnership by gaining a bit more of a silly sense of humor which really benefits the Nintendo image. With this partnership, Nintendo has managed to secure another appealing exclusive for the Switch, and one of the top games for the console. Stardew Valley is one of those games that always felt like it was supposed to be on a Nintendo console, and we couldn't have been happier when it was released recently for the Switch. If you've ever played a Harvest Moon game, you’re already familiar with the premise of Stardew Valley: it's an addictive farming simulator which sees you interact with townees to the point where you can literally marry them. Stardew Valley isn't just one thing though, it's a whole bunch of things at once. You can engage in crafting, fishing, cooking and even exploring procedurally-generated caves to mine for items and even take on monstrous enemies. However, do keep in mind your health and energy, as you'll need to make sure your character is in tip-top shape in order to avoid suffering from exhaustion – lose health and you lose a considerable amount of money and items you’ve worked hard to attained. Stardew Valley will have you hooked for hours on end, for better or worse. (Better, definitely better.) Skyrim might be a game that's six years old, but the portability of the Nintendo Switch makes it feel fresh again. What was once an exclusively home console and PC experience can now be played on your commute and there's no denying that holding the wild world of Skyrim in the palm of your hand is exhilarating. For a touch of novelty, the game also supports the console's Joy-Con motion controls so you can swing your sword and draw your bow in real life. It's a whole new way to play. This is the full open world Skyrim experience for the Nintendo Switch, including all DLC, so we're very confident in declaring it one of the best Switch games right now.

We'd be amazed if you hadn't heard of it, but Fortnite: Battle Royale is the free-to-play hit from Epic Games which throws you into an online Battle Royale where you must fight and build to be the last person standing. The game was announced and launched on the Nintendo eShop during E3 2018. If you've not had the chance to play the Battle Royale phenomenon, the Nintendo Switch offers one of the most convenient ways to do it – especially if you find a smartphone screen just a little bit too small to truly play at your best. And if you already have an account you can move seamlessly between your Nintendo Switch, smartphone, PC and Xbox console. And last in our list of the best Nintendo Switch games currently competing for your money, we have Super Mario Party. When it comes to casual co-op gaming there's not much better out there, and it shows the Switch game catalog continuing to grow and get stronger over time. This is the latest in a long line of Super Mario Party games of course, but the 3D board game mechanics remain tight and engaging, and the game hides plenty of secrets and surprises along the way for you to discover. Most importantly, it's enjoyable to play, and keeps you coming back. What's left to be said about Dark Souls that hasn't already been spat out in blood, frustration and pure, unfiltered joy? The daddy of tough-as-nails adventure games, it's spawned a thousand imitators and a zillion curse words as adventurers stalk the deadly land of Lodran. Taking a methodical and precise approach to combat, it's as unforgiving as it is rewarding, making each hard-won victory against its monstrous foes a real achievement. Always fair, it's also a master of environmental story telling, revealing its secrets slowly as you gain command of its systems and best its enemies. Dark Souls: Remastered isn't quite as pretty on the Switch as it is on PS4 or Xbox One, but it does have the added benefit of on the go play (just don't go swearing on the bus). And there's a whole new wave of players to engage with when you activate its online mode – a key component of the series, with a new community eking out their first bold steps into its cruel world. The whole of history, in your hand. Well, that's at least what it feels like with Civilization 6 on the Nintendo Switch. A grand strategy game that tasks you with leading a burgeoning nation to greatness, this is a game you can lose hours to. Whether you choose to be a domineering despot with a disposable army and a finger hovering over the big red nuclear button, or a peaceful diplomat making alliances and allies, Civilization 6 caters to whichever playstyle you can think of in order to bring your nation out on top. The Switch version lacks the PC titles' mod capabilities and newer gameplay rebalances that were introduced with the Gathering Storm add-on. But players have never had this much strategic depth available to them in a handheld title. If you want to test your grey matter against armchair strategists, it's one of the most engaging online titles on the Switch, too. This time-bending platformer sold an astonishing number of copies in its first week, and it's not hard to see why. Infused with a pulsing cyberpunk aesthetic, gorgeous pixel art, and a rewind mechanic for getting that perfect playthrough, Katana Zero oozes style. It follows a samurai assassin with the power to control time, with plenty of slick slo-mo action and throwing knives to be enjoyed as they storm through henchman, police squads, and some nightmarish hallucinations. Katana Zero really leans into the weirdness of its sci-fi plot – and the brutality of its bloodshed – though you have the option of rushing through most of the dialogue if you're only really here for the action. For anyone after a hit of cyberpunk, or who wants the satisfaction of only passing a level when they haven't taken a single hit (and watching their success play back to them), Katana Zero is a wonderfully trippy platformer. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/qIkG2apkApo
