The iMac 2019 is finally here, and while it doesn't look different from the all-in-one computer last upgraded two years ago, it does get a much-needed specs update. Apple is outfitting the 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs with 6- and 8-core processors for the first time, and both Retina iMacs are available to order today and ship next week. It's back with a 10.5-inch screen: the new iPad Air (2019)Pint-sized favorite: New iPad mini (2019)Our ultimate list: Best laptops 2019http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FYijprZopCE6fzTstCdm3T.jpg The new 21.5-inch iMac 2019 (left) and 27-inch iMac 2019 (right) (Image credit: Apple) Today's update promises up to 60% faster CPU speeds from 8th-generation Coffee Lake and 9th-gen Coffee Lake Refresh Intel chips, and up to 80% graphics performance from new Radeon Pro Vega GPUs. No, there's no iMac 2019 redesign. Apple is simply closing the gap between the iMac meant for most people and the Intel Xeon-powered iMac Pro ideal for workstations. 21.5-inch iMac specs breakdownThe 21.5-inch iMac 2019 starts with an 8th-generation quad-core Intel processor at $1,299 (£1,249, AU$1,999), but you can crank that up to a 6-core processor for an additional cost. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pESM86bmxwAysPzJstuhQW.jpg Image credit: Apple Apple's top-of-the-line 21.5-inch iMac configuration offers an Intel Core i7 processor, which is a chip that was previously only an option on the larger 27-inch iMac. The Radeon Pro Vega 20 GPU, with 4GB of high-bandwidth memory, is where we see the biggest gains. Apple claims up to 80% faster graphics performance here. There's one holdover from the iMac 2017 era that's still on sale. Starting at $1,099 (£1,049, AU$1,599), the entry-level iMac isn't seeing an update inside or outside today. 27-inch iMac 2019 specs breakdownThe 27-inch iMac 2019, with its lush-looking Retina 5K screen, is where you see a mix of 9th-generation 6-core and 8-core processor configurations starting at $1,799 (around £1,749, AU$2,799). http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/tcUbPf5WGeeTFRhLXQ6mRW.jpg Same thin 5mm thin profile (Image credit: Apple) Gone is the base line option for four cores here, and Apple is clocking this upgrade as up to 2.4 times faster on the CPU side when you spring for the 9th-gen Core i9 chip. It sees a boost of up to 50% faster on the GPU side with AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 graphics that can be configured with up to 8GB of memory, capable of 7.3 teraflops. All of this translates into faster performance for demanding applications. Photoshop sees a 70% performance increase, and Final Cut Pro X more the doubles the multi-cam 4K Pro Res editing cap from 7 to 16. All-too-familiar all-in-one designThe iMac 2019 is shaping up to be a suitable upgrade for anyone who has had iMac Pro envy, but doesn't actually need workstation-class power or a $4,999 (£4,899, AU$7,299) price that matches. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VkiveVNU964r7yh3PjDfKW.jpg Three iMac models: 21.5-inch iMac, 27-inch iMac and 27-inch iMac Pro (Image credit: Apple) It won't, however, satisfy everyone seeking dramatic change from the 20-year-old iMac line – especially those looking for that still-elusive iMac redesign in 2019. Apple is stick with the familiar aluminum-and-glass design, 5mm thin profile and that sizable chin on the bottom of the display to almost proudly sport the Apple logo. The good news is that the starting prices remain unchanged from two years ago (except in Australia, where it's AU$100 more expensive), and the modular Mac Pro 2019 does promise the change many are clamoring for.

Call of Duty is one of the most popular first-person shooter games on console and PC, and publisher Activision has now confirmed it’s coming to smartphones too in the shape of Call of Duty: Mobile. Call of Duty: Mobile will be a port of the multiplayer mode of the games, optimized for mobile, with a range of modes from the games including Team Deathmatch and Search and Destroy. Activision has confirmed that popular maps from the online shooter will be included, including Nuketown and Crash, and by the sounds of it every map in the game will be a port from other Call of Duty titles. This is what we're expecting from E3 2019These are the best phones for gamingWhat are the best mobile games to play on the go?Interestingly, maps will be ported from both the Black Ops and Modern Warfare series, a rare instance of harmony between the two, and Activision has also confirmed that characters and weapons from both will be present in the game. However the mobile title will be a standalone entry in the Call of Duty franchise, not part of either series, and there’s no word on a single-player or zombies element to Call of Duty: Mobile. Activision has confirmed that the game will be free to play and will receive free updates, although like other rival mobile shooters PUBG Mobile and Fortnite paid skins could be made available. Pre-registration for the game is open now at the Call of Duty: Mobile website, where you can get updates on game’s upcoming public beta. Activision hasn’t confirmed an official release date yet, but with E3 2019 around the corner we could find out more soon – stay tuned for all the news and announcements from the event. This is what we thought of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the latest Call of Duty gamehttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/KsrMSrQwopM

Best Wireless (Bluetooth) Headphones: Welcome to TechRadar's guide to the best wireless and Bluetooth headphones you can buy in 2019. The disappearing 3.5mm headphone is the reason these headphones have come to represent the epitome of convenience. Not to mention, the aspect of their portability. Most people prefer wired headphones because they supposedly provide a better audio experience, when in fact, it's possible to get that same pristine quality with wireless headphones. The only feature that gets added is the convenience of being hands free and wire free. You might've been hesitant to cut the cord before – everyone has heard horror stories of wireless headphones' poor battery lives or awful sound quality. But it's tough to ignore the utility of wire-free listening. Forget having to run a wire down your top every time you want to listen to music on the go, or struggling with a cable to get your phone out of your pocket, wireless headphones are a convenience dream. Headphones, no strings attachedSo what makes wireless headphones so special? And how do you determine the best wireless headphones from a whole bunch of wannabes? Easy. You try dozens of wireless headphones and stack them against one another, mono a mono. (Well, stereo a stereo in this case.) While these headphones are great for anyone looking to go wireless, they're especially practical when you consider the growing amount of phones launching without headphone jacks. Looking to finally ditch the cord? Here are the top 10 wireless headphones: http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/tdbYLfwJ3U5eSREdqfV8oZ.jpg For the last three years, the Sony 1000X series of headphones have been our favorite wireless headphones on the market. They sound great thanks to a combination of superb wireless codecs - aptX and Sony's proprietary LDAC tech - and keep outside noise at bay thanks to Sony's ever-improving noise-cancellation algorithms. If you are a frequent traveler looking for the best noise-canceling headphones, or someone who’s stuck in a noisy office, the 1000XM2 is nearly as good as the M3. But what M3 gets is more style and comfort topped with even more dynamic noise cancellation technology. They’re very similar to the predecessor, but the price difference in India is still not enough to let M2 stand higher in terms of value for money proposition. Read the full review: Sony WH-1000XM3 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AFWRzeeXLNuq6Uk4jnpMT6.jpg Bose took the already-excellent QC35 and updated with Google Assistant. The headphone is identical in every way save for the new Google Assistant button. This means you still get the class-leading noise cancellation Bose is known for, good sound quality, and incredible comfort. Said simply, they sound great and their battery life is long enough for all but the longest of flights. If you're looking to save some money, however, consider the original Bose QuietComfort 35. They can also be found for far cheaper these days, and if you're not fussed about having Google Assistant built into your headphones then you can save yourself some money while you save up for QC35 II. Read the full review: Bose QuietComfort 35 II http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/5qdJydXJzY7myaJaWU2RVJ.jpg The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are the best-sounding wireless headphones you can buy, period. Sound is spacious, detailed, and makes you want to rediscover your music library. Their bulky design and average noise isolation make them terrible for travel but if you’re looking for the best sound from a wireless headphone, this is it. Read the full review: Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Qfax22fJVwDYssrYb9XUuj.jpg Although they're a much better looking, and sounding, pair of headphones, the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless (not to be confused with the smaller, cheaper, Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Wireless) are kept off the top spot of the list by their premium price point, which puts them out of reach of all but the most committed of music lovers. But for those that can afford them, these are a no-holds-barred wireless headphones are oozing with positive qualities. They're comfortable, hard-working set of headphones that will likely last for years. Read the full review: Sennheiser Momentum Wireless http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/SScjtqGXAMmGFKBBWNccPP.jpg If you're a frequent traveler you're probably all too familiar with headphones that can't hold a charge and can't block out sound, let alone sound very good. Let us introduce you to the Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2, one of the few headphones on the market that can do all of the above and cost less than half as much as one of the bigger names like Beats, Bose and Sony. They also include a neat little feature that allows them to automatically turn off when you're not wearing them, meaning you're able to easily maximise their battery life without much effort. If we had to boil it down to its core, the BackBeat Pro 2 offers an excellent travel headphone with incredible battery life, supreme comfort, the ability to pair two device as once and, most importantly, good sound quality for the cost. Read the full review: Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4a8yHQheRW4QHr4ynDW6r.jpg The AKG N60NC Wireless sound like a pair of headphones that should be much more expensive than they are. At their mid-range price point the headphones offer fantastic value for money, with great sound quality and a level of noise-cancellation performance that's on a level with the much more premium entries on this list. Our biggest issue with these headphones is the fact that they're on-ear rather than over-ear, meaning that we found that they got uncomfortable over longer periods. Regardless, the benefit of this is that this is a fantastically compact pair of headphones, and if you're willing to make the trade-off then these are great for the price. Read the full review: AKG N60NC Wireless http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Vi9QBvLZH8pzWxPxkeCHLm.jpg If you want a pair of wireless headphones without breaking the bank, and you don't fancy the in ear Optoma's above, your next best bet is the Jabra Move Wireless. These headphones may look like a budget buy, but don't let that fool you: this set of on ear Bluetooth headphones is nothing but an all-around stellar product. From the fun and edgy design to excellent performance, these cans come recommended for anyone interested in wireless on the cheap. Read the full review: Jabra Move Wireless http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AGWkVWsVDRnP9sr6EXv6HM.jpg Sony WH-H900N Sony's second pair of headphones on this list could be called the champion of noise cancellation on a budget. The WH-H900N h.ear on Wireless NC is one of the best options in this range since it lasts forever between charges without compromising on sound quality and comfort. Sony has topped up their headphones up with Hi-Res Audio which ensures more natural sound output and better bitrate than before. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/djYPbKd69d4acL9bfY4w84.jpg Beats Studio 3 Wireless If you’re not too picky about audio, you’ll love the Beats Studio 3 Wireless. They look good, are comfortable and sound decent while releasing the pressure valve of city life with active noise cancellation. Add great battery life and an Apple W1 chip and you have headphones that are very easy to get on with, particularly if you own an iPhone. Read the full review: Beats Studio 3 Wireless http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Fkn3d3jkEmdx6zCamgdaA7.jpg When you think of noise-cancelling headphones you probably picture bulky over-ear cans like the Bose QuietComfort 35 or the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless, but three years ago Bose turned its noise-cancelling chops to in-ear headphones, and the result was the excellent Bose QuietComfort 20i. Soon after that came the Bose QuietControl 30 (QC30, for short). These neckbuds offer the best noise cancellation of any in-ears we’ve tried and are comfortable enough to wear around your neck for long flights. Add to that the fantastic wireless capabilities of these headphones and you have the recipe for success. While we'd love to see a true wireless pair of headphones from Bose, the QuietComfort 30 are a tried-and-true stopgap that you'll enjoy all the same.

Following Microsoft’s recent announcement that it would be bringing Halo: The Master Chief Collection to PC, the computer and gaming company has revealed that PC gamers will be able to test the title ahead of its release. The early testing is part of the Halo Insider Program, which fans of the franchise can sign up to in order to “provide feedback and insights” on in-progress game releases and other “franchise initiatives”. It’s worth noting that not every member of the Insiders Program will be selected for testing, and although we have a vague release date of ‘later in 2019’, the opening for early testing is even less concrete. The game so nice, you'll have to buy it twiceThe Halo: Master Chief Collection was first released for Xbox One in 2014, but the package will be available on PC for the first time at some stage in 2019, and it'll be sold on both the Steam marketplace and Microsoft’s own storefront. Included in the package is Halo Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo 4, although they won’t all be made available simultaneously, with Microsoft announcing a sequential release of each title in chronological order (as above). There is a catch, however – as Kotaku reported, the collection won’t be a part of the Xbox Play Anywhere program, which means that if you already own it on Xbox, you’ll still need to buy another copy in order to play it on PC.

Last year's Black Shark proved to be a decent, if unremarkable entry into the gaming smartphone market for Xiaomi, but now the Chinese phone maker seems set to deliver the goods with its follow-up, the Black Shark 2. Announced today, the Xiaomi Black Shark 2 boasts a pressure sensitive 6.39-inch AMOLED display, allowing players to achieve differing on-screen actions depending on how hard they press. That's not the only surprise that Black Shark 2's screen has in store, thanks to the inclusion of a Samsung-made in-display fingerprint scanner for tough biometric security. Best phones for gaming 2019The best Android games 2019Samsung gaming phone rumored with Apple-rivaling GPUNow you're playing with powerIn terms of raw power, Black Shark 2 seemingly outclasses recent gaming phone competitors like the Razer Phone 2, sporting the latest Snapdragon 855 processor and Adreno's new 640 GPU, which is said to offer a 20% performance increase over the Adreno 630. Like its predecessor, Black Shark 2 packs a 4,000 mAh battery, though its fast charging capability has been raised from 18W to 27W, ensuring the handset recharges at a much quicker rate. As for the Black Shark 2's camera, Xiaomi has opted for a dual sensor 48MP/12MP primary camera setup and a 20MP front-facing lens for selfies. Available for purchase in China (or from your nearest grey importer) from today in either Frozen Silver and Shadow Black, Xiaomi Black Shark 2 is priced at ¥3,199 (around $476 / £359 / AU$671 / AED 1,750) for the entry-level model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, all the way up to ¥4,199 (roughly $625 / £471 / AU$881 / AED 2,297) for the top end 12GB/256GB configuration.

Football – no matter the code – is more than just professional athletes kicking a ball around a field. It’s sweat, blood and tears from a passionate fan following. Every year, when Footy and League season begins Down Under, fans of the sports prepare to cheer on their favorite teams, either by heading to the stadium or watching every game on free-to-air television. For audiences outside of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, though, there has been no easy way to keep up with every try and scrum… until now. Watch AFL and Watch NRL are two subscription-based international streaming services that offer audiences globally the opportunity to enjoy every match during Premiership season live or on-demand. Kick off the 2019 Premiership seasonBoth streaming services can be subscribed to either within Australia or anywhere else in the world via the respective websites, but it must be noted that the content available on both services is only viewable outside of Australia. For Aussies, this means it's a great idea to sign up for a week or a month if you know you'll be out of the country during some of the season's crucial games. Subscribers also get live access to the dedicated Fox Footy and League channels to keep you updated on all the latest news, analysis and related entertainment shows available on those channels. Three subscription tiers are available for each service: Weekly: US$17 / £13 / €17 / AU$19 Monthly: US$28 / £22 / €28 / AU$33 Annual: US$149 / £125 / €149 / AU$189.Watch AFL also includes all the women's matches from the AFL Women's league as well. While both services can be streamed on a browser of choice, they also have their dedicated Android and iOS apps, and can be cast to a TV via AirPlay or Google Chromecast. There is also an Apple TV app for both services available to download via the App Store, but an Android TV app is currently unavailable. How to subscribeIf you’re a footy fan, then all you need is a Watch AFL subscription, but if you prefer League, then sign up for the Watch NRL service. If you are a fan of both formats of the game, then you’ll need subscription plans for both services as signing up for one won’t give you access to the other. Subscribing is as easy as heading to the Watch AFL and Watch NRL websites, choosing a plan and setting up an account, and while the subscription renews automatically, you're free to cancel any time. You can start streaming immediately as long as you’re outside Australia – no VPN needed.

Up until now, Nvidia has been treating ray tracing as an exclusive feature available only to its Turing RTX graphics cards, but now the company is suddenly enabling it on graphics cards as low-end as a GeForce GTX 1060. On the first day of GDC 2019, Nvidia announced that it will introduce a driver in April that will enable both Pascal and Turing GTX graphics cards to render ray tracing effects using DirectX Raytracing (DXR). The list of supported graphics cards includes both the recently introduced GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1660 as well as everything in between a GTX 1060 (6GB) and Titan X. These Turing and Pascal GTX cards will be able to handle games running with basic RT effects and a low ray count – or, in other words, RTX Low settings – though your mileage may vary with the titles you play. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bvoYXWXPakCLPNbXMSuBYf.jpg Image Credit: Nvidia How well does it work?In our briefing, we were told Battlefield V should run well on most cards and at RTX Medium to High settings due to the game primarily rendering only ray traced-reflections. Meanwhile, certain shadow heavy scenes in Shadow of the Tomb Raider (which still has yet to receive its RTX and DLSS patch) could bog down your GPU. Metro Exodus is the most punishing of the bunch as it uses ray tracing technology to power its global illumination engine. Nvidia stresses users would see the best experience with an RTX graphics card. Picking PC components is a chore, but we'll help you make the right choicesWhat about those Intel Graphics Cards though?AMD already proved the Radeon VII can ray trace tooAccording to Nvidia, ray tracing coming to GTX cards was always on its roadmap. However, this statement seems in direct opposition to all of the company’s marketing and figures that previously said ray tracing could never be done on a traditional GPU without dedicated RT Cores. If anything, it seems like Nvidia is trying to get ahead of the possibility that next-generation consoles – the PS5 and Xbox Two – might feature ray tracing. Nvidia would be in a tight spot if these future consoles could render games with DXR and its high-end, albeit previous generation, graphics cards couldn’t. In a smaller, related note, Nvidia also announced that it is introducing DXR into the Unreal Engine and Unity. With ray tracing technology being integrated into the two major game engines that powers 90% of the games in the world, we’ll likely (or hope) to see more ray traced-games in the near future. Will Intel Graphics Cards support ray tracing out of the gate?http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/z-Gx6qh5bmU

Nvidia's graphics cards have long been pack-leaders when it comes to performance, often making them the best graphics cards around. Where AMD may offer a great value, Nvidia's flagship cards like the RTX 2080 Ti push performance to the limit. So, when you're looking for a card to spend your money on, it's worth seeing what the best Nvidia card you can get is. Whether you want to build the most powerful gaming rig possible, are looking to put together a compact Mini ITX build, or just want to get the most framer per second for your dollar, there's an Nvidia graphics card to fit the bill. We've got our rankings for the best Nvidia graphics cards in a variety of categories, so you can find the right GPU for your build. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4qc5yy8giaT47hXGtem79m.jpg Image Credit: Techradar Nvidia's Turing graphics cards didn't come cheap when they first launched, but that was in part because there wasn't a mid-tier model. Now the GeForce RTX 2060 is here, and it offers a balance or price and performance. For 1080p gaming, you'll get stellar visuals and frame-rates while also having the ability to toggle on ray tracing for supported games. It can even let you jump up to 1440p or 4K, making it a viable option for high performance in eSports and high quality in AAA titles. Read the full review: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eXzqh8U6Yk4ofdQwxgZ5DM.jpg Image Credit: Techradar There's no doubt that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is a total pain in the budget, coming in a price higher than plenty of complete gaming rigs. But, there's also nothing else that can compete with a RTX 2080 Ti in terms of performance besides maybe a board partner's version of the RTX 2080 Ti . If you want the highest frame rates at 4K or the best looking ray-traced graphics, the RTX 2080 Ti is the way to go. That is, as long as your budget can handle it. Read the full review: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WvNU6QkSPL8oAWBHi2bB4F.jpg Image Credit: Techradar The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 succeeds the GTX 1070 with a hefty dose of extra power. It comes with a major markup in price, but if you're looking for a graphics card that will tackle 4K or high-FPS gaming at 1440p, the RTX 2070 is ready, and it's a good chunk cheaper than the next highest-end RTX card. The RTX 2070 can put out a staggering 120fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider running at 1440p, so you can count on it for buttery smooth gameplay in plenty of games. Just be ready to pay the RTX tax, whether or not you plan to use ray tracing. Read the full review: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/SK5M8xULzJbFokbqAkcbGm.jpg Image Credit: Techradar Given how few games are using Nvidia's ray tracing and Deep Learning Super Sampling technologies, it's not necessarily the most delightful thing to see the price hike on Nvidia's RTX graphics cards. That's what makes the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti so great. It eschews the ray tracing and DLSS to offer a focus on value that helps make it worth every penny. When it comes to card that offer the most performance per dollar, it doesn't get much better than the GTX 1660 Ti, and this PNY model offers a healthy dose of extra performance with its overclocking. You'll be able to enjoy almost any game smoothly at 1080p, and shouldn't be afraid to check out 1440p either.

In those cases, it can be worth it to have a graphics card that is going to give you tons of headroom to keep information in the GPU's memory, instead of constantly needing to load it in from your storage solution. While it comes at a high price, Nvidia's Quadro RTX 6000 loads up on 24GB of GDDR6 memory while also packing plenty of performance. And, you can combine multiple cards for even more performance. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cvgRsLKufXUPw4iMjcAzh5.jpg Image Credit: Techradar High resolutions and high framerates are one thing. Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 can handle 4K with aplomb and keep 1440p gaming buttery smooth without the need to dial down settings. But, it can also meet the needs of VR enthusiasts. Beyond the power needed to meet the needs of VR headsets' high refresh rates, the RTX 2080 comes with the VirtualLink VR connector, meant to make connecting VR headsets that much easier.

And, mini graphics cards can be a major helper there, since a graphics card tends to be one of the bigger components attached to a motherboard. EVGA has a well-priced model in the RTX 2060 XC Black Gaming. It may be thicker than your typical dual-fan variant, but that extra radiator thickness helps it dissipate heat with the single fan, and its short length can help it fit in tight builds. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4KfrJhCcRYqeDzRZkVvQS9.jpg Image Credit: Techradar While the higher end graphics cards get all the hype, they tend to have a worse performance-per-dollar value then budget cards. And, while AMD often hits that sweet spot, Nvidia sometimes remembers to offer value as well. That is represented nowhere better than the GTX 1660. Gigabyte offers the GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G for an excellent budget price while still giving you a touch of overclocking, so you can enjoy 1080p or even 1440p with some tweaked settings. Best of all, you won't need to take out a mortgage to afford this card.

But, if you're into eSports games, you're probably more concerned with getting 1080p at 120+ FPS. And, you can do that with the older Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 no problem. For popular eSports titles, the GTX 1060 has enough power to run 1080p even at high settings and still get smooth visuals. Best of all, the prices are driven down by newer cards, so you can score a GTX 1060 at a discount.

And, the Gigabyte's Aorus RTX 2080 TI Xtreme Waterforce 11GB comes with the card, radiator, tubing, and fans you need to get started. The serious water cooling solution allowed Gigabyte to push the RTX 2080 Ti well beyond its base specs. This model has a base clock higher than the Founders Edition's boost clock. And, to top it off, there's a little flair of RGB lighting on the radiator fans and card's metal backplate. These are the best gaming monitors to go with your shiny new GPUhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/6BbVuwIU3Oc

If you haven't yet taken the chance to secure your next year of internet for a mere £11.99 per month, then we suggest that you shake a leg. The scarcely believable bargain broadband deal comes to an end this Wednesday. When it comes to cheap broadband deals, this effort from little-known Onestream manages to top the rest. Forget Plusnet, Post Office and Vodafone for the next few days, because only Onestream can give you monthly bills as low as this - the next cheapest we've seen is £4 a month more. Check out this astonishingly cheap broadband deal from Onestream here For that you get unlimited broadband, average speeds of 11Mb, a free router (with £9.99 delivery fee), free activation and your phone line included, too. And because this offer is only available to TechRadar readers, you get a comforting level of smugness thrown in gratis as well! But when the clock strikes midnight on Wednesday night, this internet tariff will be no more. So if you like the idea of paying a fraction more than a tenner every month for your broadband, you'd better get in there quick. Need faster speeds? Then check out our breakdown of the best fibre broadband dealsOur exclusive cheap broadband only deal details:How does this compare to other broadband deals?So you already know you won't get a cheaper ADSL package than this, but what else is out there if you decide that you don't want to take a punt on Onestream. For ADSL, it's a bit of a toss up between £17 per month TalkTalk and internet from Plusnet that costs £18.99 p/m but throws in a £50 pre-paid Mastercard. When it comes to cheap fibre, your best option lies with Vodafone right now. For just £21 a month, you can currently get its 35Mb Superfast 1 plan - a bargain on fast speeds. Or if you like your broadband package with a beefy bonus, how about BT. For £29.99 BT is offering up its Superfast Fibre package with a whopping £100 pre-paid Mastercard. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/Zxxww7G6uW8

Anthem, BioWare's cooperative, team-based shooter is a change of pace for the makers of Dragon Age and Mass Effect. With a focus on cooperative PvE combat popularised by the likes of Destiny, it landed amid a swirl of hype and expectation, which it has so far failed to meet. Anthem has a big challenge in front of it then – with arguments that its endgame content is weak, its loot system broken and its story not up to scratch when compared with previous narrative-driven BioWare RPGs, it's fighting to win back the hearts of those who were initially in awe of its promise. With EA backing it and BioWare's heritage at its heart, there's hope yet that Anthem will be redeemed. It's being touted as a "living" game after all – one that will evolve over time to keep its fans entranced long after launch – and the likes of behemoths such as Destiny and Fortnite all went through rough launches before becoming gaming juggernauts. So what's the latest Anthem news? When's the next update? And what does the future hold for Anthem? Read on for everything you need to know about the Iron Man simulator. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/39fkXS8i5nVJXs69VRKJxE.png As we said in our full Anthem review: "It is a game of oxymorons and inconsistencies. The story is designed to be single-player but the game is clearly not. The gameplay is an absolute joy but is stifled by the repetitive nature of the end-game. The character animations are truly sublime, but most of the characters themselves are cliché and predictable. "Anthem is a fun game, and a stunningly pretty one, but with flaws in nearly every other aspect of its design. It will improve with patches, updates, and a strong community, but it isn’t a particularly strong foundation. This is less an anthem, and more an annoying earworm..." Anthem review: check out our complete, in-depth verdict in our full reviewAnthem update news and Anthem patch notesWhat's new? A server-side update will see an increase in legendary loot drops.One of the main complaints (bugs, even) relating to Anthem is the quality of its loot. It's been all-but-proven to be pointless, given that the game scales a player's power over the course of play. A small update on March 15 2019 aimed to address that. "In the latest server-side update, we've made some notable changes to the loot drop rate in specific scenarios, which will take effect immediately in a server-side tuning update," the team said on publisher EA's website. "These changes include: Masterwork & Legendary drop rates have been increased for Grandmaster 2 and Grandmaster 3 difficulty levels, and Masterwork & Legendary drop rates have been increased for harder enemies at all difficulty levels. This includes: Legendary Ancient Ash Titan, Elite Ancient Ash Titan, Legendary Fury, Legendary Ursix and Legendary Luminary." It is a positive early update from the team, as it begins to collate issues the game's core fans are uncovering. And it proves a sight more positive than having to figure out how to stop some consoles from crashing when playing the digital version of Anthem – a harrowing early bug the developers rushed to squash. Anthem tips and tricks guidesAnthem is a complex game. With four classes to master, a ton of loot to uncover and large world to explore, it can be daunting for a newcomer, and difficult for even a long term player to master.

How do both teams hope to achieve this? Through regular content drops, that's how. As pictured above, EA and BioWare have already mapped out the "ongoing narrative of Anthem", with updates mapped out already until May 2019. This first "Act" is called "Echoes of Eternity", with March 2019 introducing the "Evolving World" chapter, April 2019 the "Stronger Together" chapter and May 2019 bringing the ominous sounding "Cataclysm" chapter. Evolving World will focus on battles with huge bosses such as Titans of War, Ruin, Bane and Havoc in freeplay mode, as well as new Legendary missions and a Scar Infestation freeplay event. Stronger Together will expand the endgame with a new Mastery System for the skill tree progression, as well as host of new freeplay events, more legendary missions, a new Stronghold called "The Sunken" (which will have its own weekly challenge) as well as the introduction of leaderboards and guilds. As for what the Catyclysm brings, little is known at the moment beyond the promise of new freeplay events, missions and new items. We'll presumably find out more as the year rolls on. But what about paid DLC? EA has yet to announce it's mid-to-long term plans for Anthem. We'd expect it will follow a similar path as Destiny, which had a continued supply of small improvements and features added, interspersed with larger paid-for DLC packs, before an eventual sequel. That is, of course, if Anthem can prove its staying power... Here's hoping – there's a gem at the heart of Anthem, waiting to be dug out. We're hopeful that we'll one day be playing Anthem at its strongest. More interested in EA's sports offering?

Since Lenovo purchased the Motorola brand, the company has come out with an ever-broader range of phones for plenty of price points. That can make it a bit confusing when picking between them, so here's a list of the best Moto phones on the market. While none of Motorola's phones go toe-to-toe with flagships like the iPhone XS or Samsung Galaxy S10, they are reliable and well-specced for their cost. Some of these can overlap, so we'll be sure to point out what each one is best suited for. That's why we've made this buying guide: to suggest the best Moto phones out now and point out the pros and cons for each. The company has a leading mid-range model, the Moto Z3, that can be augmented with attachable Moto Mods...including an upcoming one that will allow users to hook into Verizon's 5G network in the US. Its just-released, lower-cost G7 line is a bit more affordable, with four options to pick from that vary in price and power (though some are restricted by region). Best Samsung Phone | Best Huawei Phone | Best iPhone http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FqdJxmEg9m3wDg3GHUBuWG.jpg Image credit: TechRadar The Moto Z3 is the prince of the Moto line – not just for having the highest specs in the series, but because it had a bona-fide strategy to keep the phone relevant into 2019: the 5G Moto Mod. Assuming it isn't beaten to the punch by the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, when this Moto add-on comes out, the Moto Z3 will be the first 5G-capable phone to hit the market. Of course, there are a lot of caveats to that fact – namely, that the mod is only coming to Verizon, and will only work in that carrier's very limited 5G coverage areas – but it's still an impressive claim for a sub-flagship phone. Yes, the phone doesn't have the beastly specs of top-tier flagships – but at half the price, the Moto Z3 boasts impressive value. It sports a Snapdragon 835, which is respectable if dated, and comes in two respectable if unimpressive versions: 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of space (expandable via microSD to up to 512GB). That's enough for streaming multimedia and moderate gaming, which look good on the phone's 6-inch (2160 x 1080) AMOLED display. Combine that with basic dual 12MP rear cameras and an 8MP front-facing selfie shooter and you have a good phone sitting somewhere below the OnePlus 6T and lesser-performing mid-range phones. The phone's glass back and side-mounted fingerprint scanner are similarly middle-luxe – a good compromise if you want performance at a lower price. Read our hands-on review: Motorola Moto Z3 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TKVDvgFPdes7ieNyPVHU6F.jpg Image credit: TechRadar The Motorola Moto G7 Plus is the top performer of the brand's G7 family, which counts four phones this time around. The G7 Plus is the standout model, though it may not reach your region: Motorola confirmed the device isn't coming to the US. But if you can pick the phone up, you won't be sorry. For sub-midrange price, you'll get a Snapdragon 636-powered phone with a decent 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage (expandable up to 512GB). The phone even has one up on the more powerful Moto Z3 with its 3.5mm headphone jack. So why the G7 Plus and not, say, an older (but still hefty) Moto Z2 Play? Simple: Android 9 Pie out of the box. That leads us to recommend the phone even over other more powerful Moto phones (like the Moto Z2 Force, which is nearly identical to the Z3), and the G7 Plus has other benefits of a later release date, like speedier Fast Charging and a higher screen-to-body ratio. Read our in-depth review: Motorola Moto G7 Plus http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Sb5UMKkio4ryumZruDRxFL.jpg Image credit: TechRadar Why list the Moto G7 here? Sure, it's slightly less powerful than the G7 Plus, but it's also available in more regions (including the US), so we're covering our bases in case you don't want to pay international shipping on your budget-plus phone. You don't miss much going for the G7, either: its Snapdragon 632 chip is a bit less powerful, sure, and its frame is plastic instead of aluminum. But the rest of its specs are essentially the same, which means you're getting a phone that's nearly as nice at a discount. That means 4GB of RAM and 64GB of space, a 6.2-inch LCD display and dual 12MP + 5MP rear shooters/an 8MP front-facing camera for a great price. Plus it comes with Android 9 Pie right out of the box. Read our in-depth review: Moto G7 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ec6RRGnoFyzSsYvJFHYqtB.jpg Image credit: TechRadar If you're looking for the ultimate Moto value, think about digging back into the reserves. The Moto Z2 Force came out in mid-2017, but it's still a relative powerhouse – and you can find it for a bit cheaper than the newer Moto Z3. Despite over a year between releases, the Z2 Force packs the same Snapdragon 835 processor as its successor. Its screen is even higher resolution at 2560 x 1440, though its 5.5 inches are smaller than the Z3's display. Unfortunately, the Z2 Force shows its age in its chin and top bezels, which are significantly larger than those on phones released today. But if you don't mind not sporting the sleekest phone on the block, the Z2 Force has most of the newest top-tier Moto phone at a lower price. And it works with Moto Mods -- including, eventually, the Moto Mod 5G, which will expand functionality to the earlier Z2 phones at some point after it's released on April 11. Read our in-depth review: Moto Z2 Force http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CTeJvHnGZbA34mzDrSnXZn.jpg Image credit: TechRadar The third phone in the budget Moto G7 line is the G7 Power, which doesn't vary much from the standard G7 – aside from its enormous battery. Yes, for those of you who tire of recharging your phone everyday, here's one with a 5,000mAh battery. Other phones have reached such heights, but they're either expensive flagships (like the gaming-focused Huawei Mate 20 X) or battery-focused brick-thick novelty items (like the Energizer Power Max P18K). The G7 Power is a much more affordable, sensible and normal-looking phone than others that offer its level of battery capabilities. Otherwise, the phone is basic but not bottom-tier, with a Snapdragon 632 and either 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (in the US) or 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (elsewhere). Its 6.2-inch LCD screen is large but not terribly impressive (1570 x 720px). But in combination with the giant battery and an accessible price of $249 / £179 (around AU$330), the Moto G7 Power is a heckuva bargain.

Small businesses are key to preventing future data breaches in the UK according to a new report from Business in the Community (BITC) that details how SMBs can be part of the solution to prevent cybersecurity issues from impacting customers. The report, launched to coincide with 'Would you be ready? Week', aims to raise awareness of business resilience in organizations across the UK. Surprising though, BITC's report revealed that 40 percent of the SMBs surveyed had not taken any action on cybersecurity in the past 12 months. The organization also found that one in three small businesses do not have any cybersecurity strategies in place at all and more than three quarters (77 percent) said they have no policy for controlling access to their data systems. Online SMBs aggressively targeted by fraudstersSMBs 'need to completely reinvent' in next five yearsRansomware is the most significant cyber threat to SMBsAccording to the City of London Police, which handles fraud in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, more than 2,000 cybercrimes were reported by businesses in 2018 affecting thousands of customers. Responsibility to customersSmall businesses make up 99.3 percent of all private businesses in the UK and thus they have a responsibility to both their customers and the supply chains in which they operate to handle data safely and securely. BITC is urging UK SMBs to assess how vulnerable they are to cybercrime this week and make improvements to their current levels of protection. The business outreach organization's CEO Amanda Mackenzie OBE explained that small businesses can suffer just as much as their larger counterparts as a result of cybercrime, saying: “While it's often big companies which hit the headlines as victims of digital crime, when a small business is struck by a cyber attack decades of hard work can be erased in moments. The business owners suffer. The supply chains suffer. Most of all - communities suffer." To prevent falling victim to cybercrime, BITC recommends that UK SMBs provide cybersecurity training for their employees, back up their data securely and protect themselves from viruses and malware by using antivirus software.

Some TVs have great pictures. Some, great audio. But only the Sony XG95 matches its extraordinary picture quality with Sony’s incredible Sound-from-Picture Reality for an incredible audio-visual experience. Let’s start with that stunning display. Available in 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch and a whopping 85 inches, the 4K Full Array HDR LED panel features local dimming with 'TRILUMINOS' technology to give you a much wider dynamic range than conventional LED TVs. Sony calls it X-tended Dynamic Range PRO, and it gives you up to six times the contrast of conventional sets. That means darker scenes are darker and bright scenes are brighter, and it’s particularly impressive on night shots where dazzling lights pierce the deepest blacks. It can work its magic on HD sources too, upscaling closer to 4K quality for remarkable clarity. You can enjoy the XG95’s better, brighter, more beautiful color no matter where you sit: the XG95 has Sony’s impressive X-Wide Angle technology for wonderfully wide viewing angles. Incredible power for incredible picturesEverything you see is brought to you by the X1 Ultimate processor. The X1 is the most powerful processor that Sony has ever made, with object-based HDR remastering, Super Bit Mapping HDR, Dynamic Contrast Enhancer and Precision Color Mapping. What makes it so special is that it can detect hundreds of individual on-screen objects and enhance them intelligently, adjusting brightness, detail and color to deliver an incredibly bright and realistic picture. The X1 Ultimate also brings X-Motion Clarity, which keeps the action smooth and clear no matter how fast and furious it becomes. It intelligently analyses the on-screen action, minimizing blur and delivering true color with no loss of brightness, while its dual database processing reduces on-screen noise and dynamically improves pixels in real time. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7odWrkBpix6KBs5SykiCaE.jpg Image credit: Sony Sound and vision in perfect harmonyThe XG95 doesn’t just deliver incredible pictures. It sounds incredible too. Its Acoustic Multi-Audio system does something incredibly clever: it uses two sound-positioning tweeters in the rear of the TV to make the sound appear as if it’s coming from the very centre of the picture. Because those tweeters are paired with powerful bass reflex speakers there’s plenty of low-end for action scenes and music, all of it perfectly aligned with the on-screen action. If you’re a movie buff, you’ll love the way the XG95 sounds. The amazing Dolby Vision visuals are teamed with Dolby Atmos to fill any room with immersive surround sound. A truly smart TVThe Sony XG95 is a truly smart TV, and that starts with the smart remote. You can connect set-top boxes and other devices via HDMI and then connect them all with a single smart commander. Its slim, rounded design, enhanced button layout and integrated microphone for voice control means it’s really easy for all the family to use. Voice control isn’t the only smart feature you’ll find in the XG95. Google Assistant is built right in to help you find new entertainment, check schedules and even control your smart home, and you can also control your XG95 with Alexa or stream from Android or iOS devices. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/F2vfjPN7d9pBCom8QFpbBJ.jpg Image credit: Sony Meanwhile Netflix Calibrated Mode gives you the same picture quality you’d find on a studio evaluation master, and a dedicated Netflix button takes you straight to your favorite shows. That’s not all. There’s built-in YouView for catch-up shows from the BBC, ITV, All4 and Demand 5, one-touch and timer recording of any digital broadcast to USB storage and effortless Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headphones. And it’s all wrapped up in a clean, minimalist design that keeps you focused on what’s important: the picture.

Samsung is one of the very best smartwatch makers on the planet competing against the greatest devices on the market including the Apple Watch 4 and Fitbit Versa. The company has been making smartwatches since 2013 when it introduced the square-faced and (by today's standard) woefully lacking Samsung Galaxy Gear. We've seen various iterations of its wristwear over those last five years, and the company has since come into its own with its latest few wearables. Below we're going to talk you through the very best Samsung smartwatches that you can buy right now, which includes the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch and the Gear series from a couple of years ago. We'll also mention the Samsung fitness trackers the company has created. Note that they're all ranked in terms of functionality, so we take into account what you can do with each watch, its design, the price and much more when curating this ranking. You should also note that we have yet to properly try the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active for our full review process, and the same goes for the new Galaxy Fit series of activity bands. We expect those wearables to feature in this list very soon. Not committed to Samsung? Try our best smartwatch listDon't have much to spend?

Try best Wear OS watchesThe very best Samsung smartwatch we've tried is the Galaxy Watch. We've yet to fully get our Samsung Galaxy Watch Active review underway, but that device is going to have a tough time competing with the full-featured Galaxy Watch. This is undeniably Samsung's most well-designed smartwatch. It comes in two variants, which are quite dramatically different. If you're looking for the largest watch, you'll want the 46mm version that comes with a bright 1.3-inch display. Then there's also the smaller (yet thicker) 42mm variant. Both watches feature a rotating bezel that allows you to easily navigate around all of the features the smartwatch offers. It's a feature you won't get on any other smartwatch at the moment, and it works so well on the Galaxy Watch that it's one of its biggest selling points. Both feature Samsung Pay, GPS, swim tracking and a lot more. This watch will work as both a fitness device as well as a premium looking timepiece. We've tested the larger version of the watch more than the smaller one, and we've found it lasted for around four days with average usage. If you're certain you want a watch that sports Tizen software, your best choice right now is the Galaxy Watch. Read the full Samsung Galaxy Watch review On paper, the Samsung Gear Sport doesn't sound all that different to the Galaxy Watch but if you were to compare the two watches you'll notice a lot of differences. The company smoothed out a lot of the problems with the Gear Sport, but you may be fine with them considering how discounted the price of the Gear Sport now is. A lot of what you get on the newer generation is here alongside the latest in Tizen software, so you've got access to all of the apps that you'll get on the Samsung Galaxy Watch. The screen on the watch is large and easy to navigate around. The watch can track your location when you're running, and you can upload music to your watch and listen to it through Bluetooth headphones; overall there's lots to love here. If there's a big downside, it's that the overall visual design isn't as slickly implemented. All of that said - it's still a good-looking watch that you may want to have on your wrist if you're after a high-spec device but you don't want to spend lots of money. Read the full Samsung Gear Sport review The Gear S3 isn't far off the Gear Sport either, but the watch is a touch older making it a lot harder to recommend. If you can find the Gear S3 for a lot less than the Gear Sport it may be worth getting that instead, but in our searches around for price we've struggled to find it for a suitable amount. Instead, you'll be better off buying either the Galaxy Watch or Gear Sport with a bit of extra money or checking out our full best cheap smartwatch guide for a look at the best wearables you can get right now. Read the full Samsung Gear S3 review Any other Samsung smartwatches?You may still be able to find the Samsung Gear S2 or even the original Gear, but we wouldn't recommend buying these in 2019. Instead, look to the watches at the top of this page as these older devices are unlikely to be updated in the future and may soon become obsolete. Unless you find an absolutely incredible deal, we think it's worthwhile spending extra on the above or considering a watch that doesn't run Tizen software. Best Samsung fitness trackersSamsung's Gear Fit 2 Pro is one of the best looking fitness trackers with an impactful, bright and clear 1.5-inch Super AMOLED screen that wraps around the device. There aren't many fitness trackers on the market that look this good. It's comfortable to wear when you're working out, and it comes with a couple of features that make it better than its older and cheaper sibling, the Gear Fit 2. Perhaps the most important is the fact you can have offline Spotify playback on the tracker. That allows you to sync playlists to your wristwear, connect up some Bluetooth headphones and head out without your phone when you're exercising. That's especially useful as the tracker itself comes with GPS built-in as well as all of the other fitness features you'd expect like exercise tracking, and a heart rate monitor too. It's also slightly more durable than the Gear Fit 2 with military grade protection that should make it even more likely to survive what you put it through. That exact protection is MIL-STD-810G, and it may be a reason you want it more. The exact upgrades of the Pro aren't as exciting as some would have hoped, but considering the price is similar between these two devices we'd recommend going for the newer and more accomplished tracker. Read the full Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro review This is much more of what we've said above, but it's just missing a couple of those extra features and comes for a little bit less. It's older too, so it may be Samsung gives up with updating the software for the Gear Fit 2 quicker than it will for the Pro. That said, we don't know for certain that'll be the case yet. Overall, if you don't want Spotify playback or a more durable design you may find the Gear Fit 2 is a better option for your next fitness tracker. That's especially the case if you find it for the right price, but quite often we've weirdly found the Gear Fit 2 Pro is now cheaper than Samsung's newer tracker.

In the largest deal to date in the quickly growing electronic payments industry, Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) has announced that it will acquire Worldpay for around $35bn. While other industries have grown increasingly concerned about trade tensions and a global economic slowdown, the financial technology sector is consolidating at a rapid rate with McKinsey predicting that global payments will reach $3tn a year in revenue by 2023. FIS' announcement that it will acquire Worldpay comes a little more than a year after the US firm Vantiv paid over $10bn for the payments company that was created in Britain and spun off from the Royal Bank of Scotland in 2010.

Shared website hosting means exactly what it says – you share a server with other users who are running their own websites from that hardware. Every customer gets a portion of that physical server for their own use. The main strength here is that this is a cost-effective solution, and because you’re prepared to share hardware with other folks, you’ll naturally be playing less than the outlay for dedicated hosting. By the same token, however, you’re also sharing resources with others, and that means that the performance you’ll get will likely be a fair bit slower (and indeed generally less consistent). That might be fine for sites which don’t have a lot of traffic, but it could be a problem if your bandwidth needs are greater, or reliable and consistent performance is a priority for your website. So, obviously bear all that in mind, but if you do want to go the shared hosting route in an effort to make some serious savings, which are the best providers to plump for? Read on and find out. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/tjC6mFUdTNPEr39sXUdQ2F.jpg InMotion Hosting Don’t fret that this popular web host’s plans are marketed as ‘business’ products, because they’re applicable to individual users as well as companies. There’s a good range of choice here, and shared hosting starts from just $3.99 (£3.1) per month (2-year plan). What’s also good to see here is that InMotion incorporates features into its shared hosting plans which other providers charge extra for – like hack and DDoS protection, a system of basic backups, and a WordPress-based website builder. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bdUsuuYBKWwyVPfQ82BFbP.jpg Read our review of InMotionAnother strong suit here is the way that this web host provides full details of all its services at-a-glance on the website, and makes it easy to compare features, and make your decision when taking the plunge with a subscription. You also get cPanel and Softaculous-powered hosting, a sterling level of technical support, and in our testing, we found this provider delivered some impressive performance levels when it came to site loading speeds. All in all, there are lots of reasons to go with InMotion, and a 90-day money-back guarantee doesn’t hurt, either. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/XH2GNecBGA9VEfEecX5mFT.jpg 1&1 1&1 IONOS (in the late October 2018, 1&1 changed their name to 1&1 IONOS) is a big web hosting player, vying with GoDaddy for world domination, and is the biggest player in Europe. Located in Germany, it offers a bewildering array of services with prices starting from as little as $0.99 per month excluding VAT (although that rises to $7.99 after the first year). Read our review of 1&1On top of that, this shared hoster provides some smart freebies (a free domain, SSL certificates across all plans, free web design software (NetObjects Fusion 2013), 24/7 phone and email support, a graphics archive, a 30-day money-back guarantee, transparent replication (the company calls it geo-redundancy) and a whopping 300Gbps network connectivity. Also, you get a personal consultant, free of charge http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gvPz6svEg5tQGGPqDaKWC5.jpg GoDaddy The US-based web hosting company is one of the largest in the game and probably the best known one as well. It is also the biggest domain name registrar in the world with tens of millions of domain names in its portfolio. GoDaddy’s cheapest web hosting package is $7.99 per month (at the time of writing, there was a special price for the first year - $2.99 per month). Read our review of GoDaddyThis provider offers free backup and restore, an uptime guarantee (99.9%), unlimited storage (although there’s only 100GB for the Economy package), as well as unlimited bandwidth and a free domain with the annual shared hosting plan. A pretty nifty feature provided by GoDaddy on all its packages is the ability to increase hosting capacity on demand (e.g. when you experience a sudden surge in traffic) from within your hosting account. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VSxSgvXakMt3G2BGhqB2kD.jpg Namecheap If you want to do web hosting on a budget, then as this provider’s name suggests, it aims to be inexpensive. You get some impressive value-for-money with Namecheap, particularly with an initial discount for the first year, and there are some heavyweight plans here. However, note the starter ‘value’ plan only gives you 20GB of hard drive space and 30 email accounts, but you get that at the price of just $2.88 per month. Read our review of NamecheapNamecheap offers a 99.9% connectivity guarantee, and is a very easy service to set up, with an initial welcome email that points you in the right direction for everything you might need (backed up by some impressive FAQs). It also plays host to an excellent searchable knowledgebase. To round things off, testing proved that this company generally offers above average speeds compared to rivals, making this a great hosting provider for those who aren’t keen on doing too much damage to their wallet. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HwJG5D7Yf9RDbowhrwoWXe.jpg UK2 Based in London, bang in the middle of startup territory (Shoreditch), UK2 offers an impressively cheap starting shared hosting package at around $2.5 (£1.95) per month excluding VAT (although that rises to $7.8 (£5.95) a month on renewal). It also offers affordable unlimited packages with unlimited emails, bandwidth, a free SSL certificate (great for improved security and search visibility), a free domain and a dedicated IP. Read our review of UK2Prospective customers will appreciate the lack of setup fees or hidden charges, the 30-day money-back guarantee, plus 24/7 UK-based phone support on a freephone number and UK-based data centres. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/p622GUaVeV2mMXrJe8PYKN.jpg HostGator This is another web host which caters for the more budget-minded, and of course that’s never a bad thing. Although do note that you only get the really cheap prices when signing up for longer contracts with HostGator, so something of a commitment is required for the best savings here. For example, the cheapest shared hosting plan is $2.64 (£2) per month if you sign up for 36 months, but $4.48 (£3.38) per month if you sign up for one year. Read our review of HostGatorThe good news is that you get plenty for your money, and no annoying limitations, so even the basic plan allows for unlimited bandwidth, web space, email accounts and more. A 99.9% uptime guarantee is also good to see. Customer support is generally pretty good – although it falls down in a few areas, for example the web help forums aren’t moderated by the company itself – and we found performance was better than average in terms of site loading times. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/6N2QS2HttWkn4ypwgjfRJ.jpg SiteGround SiteGround offers some low-end shared hosting plans which may cost a little bit more than some budget rivals you’ll find on this page, but the upside is that they include all the core features that you’ll likely need. The firm’s StartUp account is $3.95 a month initially (with the cost rising when you renew), and with that you get unlimited traffic, email accounts and databases, not to mention one-click installation of apps like WordPress. It also bundles features that rival firms often charge for as extras like daily backups or CDN capabilities (Cloudflare). Read our review of SiteGroundAnother nifty touch is the provider’s SuperCacher system which caches frequently-accessed data in RAM, aiming to improve site performance. This could certainly help busy websites. Not everything is rosy here, though – for example the basic account limits you to 10GB of web space. Also, website support via the company’s knowledgebase is a rather shoddy experience, but there are other avenues of tech support which perform much better. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8tvxhdQasT2wRnyZFZr3Rm.jpg iPage This is a premium web hosting outfit with a well-featured ‘Essentials’ plan which offers a great deal of functionality, and is ideal for those looking to host multiple websites (or those who want plenty of room to grow). With prices starting from as little as $1.99 per month for the shared hosting basic plan (via an offer at the time of writing), iPage gives you unlimited web space and bandwidth, unlimited email addresses, MySQL databases and even domains. Read our review of iPageNot only that, iPage incorporates some very smart extras like a drag-and-drop page builder, with a basic shared SSL certificate thrown in for good measure. This provider also offers good quality tech support via live chat and email (although other support avenues aren’t as strong). Performance levels seems solid, and this is certainly a web host to bear in mind for experienced users who are dealing with large numbers of sites. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ur3TFe2b96SFE6PhSaWxQJ.jpg PlanetHippo One of the smaller web hosting outfits in this listing, PlanetHippo has managed to keep its prices at a lower level compared to most of the competition. Its One Account Linux shared hosting costs just $1.33 (£1) per month (excluding VAT), and it’s an appealing budget package. The firm’s Unlimited plan offers ‘unlimited everything’ for $8 (£5.99) per month (and that includes a free domain). Read our review of PlanetHippoAs with other web hosts, you get a 30-day warranty, 24/7 UK-based support (and it’s of a good quality – although there’s no option to use the phone) and all of PlanetHippo’s servers are based in the UK. Throw in a smartly designed hosting panel, and you won’t go far wrong with this particular provider. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bBS8a7fsPoaFSkz4kVfoXA.jpg Tsohost This is another UK-based provider, and Tsohost also plays the value card, with an entry-level Startup shared hosting plan which starts at $3.8(£2.92) per month (providing you sign up for two years – it’s $4.15(£3.16) per month if you commit for just one year). That plan limits you to 15GB storage and you do get unlimited bandwidth, Let’s Encrypt SSL and a hundred mailboxes. Read our review of TsohostTsohost’s technical support may not be the fastest out there in terms of response times, at least in our experience, but it did provide clear and accurate answers to queries. Performance levels are also solid, and the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Dual-camera phones are not particularly new. However, since the Apple iPhone 7 Plus was announced in 2016, manufacturers have been finding new routes to produce the best camera on phones with the help of a dual camera setup. In fact, we witnessed a groundbreaking three-camera setup on the Huawei P20 Pro, followed by Samsung Galaxy A7 and now more handsets. But if you notice, the best camera phone in the market right now - the Pixel 3/XL still does the job with just one sensor, and phones like the Galaxy A9 with four cameras fail to match it. There was a time when there were few phones with two rear cameras, but things have changed so much that the trend has entered the budget phone market too. So, what are some of the popular dual-camera phones that we can find in the Indian mobile market today? Let’s have a look. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2jDaGzi2kgVjoHRhkLMw6B.jpg Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus brings along a new variable aperture which changes as per the demand of the condition. Meaning, the low-light performance improves as it lets more light to enter the camera. The only issue here's is the aggressive noise reduction algorithm that soften the details. But still, the phone is great for any kind of photography, and IP68 certification makes it usable in different environments. Read the full review- Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/KhuVWthymxyvfpwAXTLtxm.jpg OnePlus 6T If you're looking for an all-rounder with a well-above-average camera in its class, the OnePlus 6T might just be your thing. The dual rear camera features a wide-angle lens paired with a 16MP sensor, as well as a secondary 20MP lens and sensor combination. Both lenses have a f/1.7 aperture. The front camera is a 16MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture. Of all the phones under Rs 40,000, the OnePlus 6T is among the best for camera performance. While it can't boast of a camera like the Google Pixel 3, for its price, the OnePlus 6T can take some outstanding pictures. Read our detailed OnePlus 6T review. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7vDUJBqQWwvCvFeePuR7Rk.jpg The Redmi Note 6 Pro succeeds an already great smartphone, and so brings enhanced cameras as the key update over its predecessor. It is also the first Xiaomi phone to have two cameras on the front for selfies, meaning it can click bokeh shots from both the sides. Daylight shots are plenty impressive; but the Note 6 Pro brings impressive low-light photography to the budget smartphone segment, and that's rare. Pictures clicked in low light with the Redmi Note 6 Pro don't show heavy noise or grain, and that's something rare on smartphones of this range. It retails for Rs 14,699 on Amazon. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/W7yDKag6fXYewbRa5GG7MV.jpg The Honor View 20 Pro has two rear cameras. But the second is a ToF (time of flight) 3D camera, rather than one that adds a zoomed or wide-angle view. AI images have a more natural look than those of some older Huawei/Honor models when using the main sensor. There’s a multi-exposure mode for night shooting too. It’s very similar to the super night mode introduced in the Huawei P20 Pro. The Honor View 20 has quite possibly the best camera you can get at the price right now. This is in part because Honor is first off the blocks to have a go at using Sony’s new ultra-high res hardware. But it also benefits from much of the camera processing development work put into phones like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro. Read our full review here http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/u5FVERXrD8ydE7GFGapfgY.jpg At first glance it appears that the iPhone XS and XS Max have the same camera as the iPhone X. The dual rear camera module has two 12MP sensors- one wide-angle and one telephoto- with the same f/1.8 and f/2.4 apertures. However, there are some key differences. The iPhone XS Max and XS both feature Smart HDR, absent in the iPhone X, which ensures that all areas of the photo are well lit and detailed. You can also edit the level of background blur in portrait shots, something that iPhones have been lacking for a decade. The 7MP camera has also been upgraded over its iPhone X counterpart. It also gets the new Smart HDR mode as well as portrait mode, and implements the bokeh effect digitally. If you don't mind shelling out Rs 99,900 and above, then the iPhone XS and XS Max are two of the best camera phones in the market right now. iPhone XS review iPhone XS Max review http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xfP7UUGSpPaawiNZgfzze3.jpg The Galaxy Note is is currently the best dual camera smartphone in India. The newly launched flagship bears the same camera setup as the Galaxy S9 Plus. The dual 12MP rear camera uses variable-aperture technology to switch between an f/1.5 aperture for low-light photography and an f/2.4 aperture for normal lighting conditions. The secondary lens enables 2x optical zoom, which helps to capture sharp telephoto snapshots for distant subject. It has a fixed f/2.4 fixed aperture, and it retains the optical image stabilization like the primary lens. It works well, and it's very useful for those with shaky hands. There was ample of noise in the night-time shots with the telephoto lens, everything else remains perfectly crisp. Front camera does selfies at 8MP and has autofocus, which is a first for a Galaxy Note phone. The camera app is filled with tons of mode options like AR stickers, wide group selfies, HD Super Slow Motion at 960fps and more. The camera app is dense, but it's still very easy to use and fast. On top of everything, users get to opt for multiple storage variants as huge as 512GB storage with microSD card support. Read full review: Samsung Galaxy note 9 review http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FA2JDKCtEFJgJ8nQorgweK.jpg Comparing the iPhone XS and iPhone X with the same photo, it’s clear that the Smart HDR mode is the key difference here. While the overall quality of the snap is largely the same, the detail and brightness throughout is improved, which bodes well for when your photography skills are poorer but you still want to get a great picture. Apple is talking up the improved portrait mode too, with both the ability to take better pictures of people (with smarter capabilities of working out where the edges of their head lie, so they stay sharp against a blurred background) and the capability of adjusting the level of blur behind them. Read the full review: iPhone XS http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/a7eNPErseZptPALXgvjvWJ.jpg The LG G7 ThinQ is an impressive little phone from the brand (irritating name aside), bringing with it a strong package and a decent price in many regions. There's an attempt to right the wrongs of the LG G6 - and it's resulted in a good alternative to the traditional big hitters. The smart camera here is great if you want to capture more of the picture, with a much wider field of view bringing in more information. The smart sensor tries to work out what's in front of you - with great results, but only when it gets things right. It's not the best camera out there, but you can take some stellar shots. Read the full review: LG G7 ThinQ review http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oYUdvyHPJVQSQJ3ZADscUd.jpg The OnePlus 6/6T doesn't feel out of the place alongside the likes of Samsung, Sony or LG. In fact, the company has made a better value for money device when compared to most flagship currently. While the OnePlus 6T is a complete powerhouse in the performance department, it's no less in the optics department too. It has the same camera configuration on paper as its predecessor, but OnePlus has increased the size of the sensor on the main 16MP camera by 19%, and it now has a 1.22um pixel size (up from 1.12um), enabling it to pull in more light and thus perform better in low-light conditions. Which makes it one of the better phones for photography in its range. Read review: OnePlus 6T http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ByvAaLSgHezDMC8igKeweT.jpg The Honor 10's camera is actually the area where you can expect the it to perform better than its expensive alternatives. On the back of the Honor 10 sits a bug-eyed pair of camera lenses. One uses a 16MP colour sensor, the other a 20MP monochrome sensor. Huawei and Honor have used a similar setup before, the higher-resolution 20MP camera being used to let you zoom at 2x and see more detail than you would from simply cropping into the standard 16MP image. The camera performance is commendable and there's virtually zero shutter lag. Focusing is reasonably fast and you can use Auto mode and get the best possible shot in most cases. Read the full review: Honor 10 review http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ZRrXfXm8zqRHG9Xatvpv4D.jpg The recently announced Mi A2 is the second generation of Xiaomi's Android One device. After the success of the Mi A1 and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, Xiaomi has announced the slightly costlier Mi A2. Since its partnership with Xiaomi for the Mi A1, search giant Google has partnered with Nokia, Motorola and other OEMs for premium Android One devices. Now, the two companies have partnered once again for the Mi A2. The Mi A2 offers several upgrades over its predecessor, including an all new 18:9 display, improved cameras and an upgraded SoC. While these upgrades are good, the company has also taken some steps back by slightly reducing the battery capacity instead of increasing it and removing the 3.5mm audio jack. Read the full review here: Xiaomi Mi A2 Review http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/XukaW44UrcR5rr6ns4kivK.jpg The Honor Play is one of the most powerful devices from the company in the country and has been priced very competitively. The main highlight of the device is the Kirin 970 SoC, which is the company's current flagship SoC. The Honor Play is gaming centric device and has been equipped with the company's GPU Turbo, a software and hardware solution that is claimed to increase the device's performance by up to 60% while reducing the battery consumption by up to 30% while gaming. Coming to the cameras, the device sports a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 16MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary depth sensor. The cameras come with features such as phase detection autofocus and EIS. Honor has said that it will push an OTA to enable AI stabilisation on the device in the coming days. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/uzTVTCRyf9tm6JCKQwwckY.jpg Similar to the MI A2, the Redmi Note 6 Pro also succeeds to an already great smartphone and brings enhanced cameras as the key update over its predecessor. It is also the first Xiaomi phone to have two cameras on the front for selfies, meaning it can click bokeh photos from both the sides. The Redmi Note 6 Pro is capable of capturing impressive shots in both low and good light situations. Even in low light scenarios, the phone clicks clear pictures with a decent amount of details. Another thing that we specifically like about the Redmi Note 6 Pro camera is how well it captures colours even in low-light. Pictures clicked in low light with the Redmi Note 6 Pro doesn’t show heavy noise or grain, and that's something rare on smartphones of this range. The only downside is the inconsistent edge detections in bokeh shots. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/O5TngkTrfe0

It is exceptional as to how advanced mobile photography has become in recent times. A good camera is a much sought after feature for consumers when they're out in the market looking for their next phone. As such, it's a no-brainer for smartphone makers to double down on their camera tech and make to make it further accessible, the features trickle down to more affordable phones. With the rise of dual and triple cameras on a phone, the sub-Rs 20,000 budget category has perhaps the largest range of products for users to choose from. But not every phone that's marketed as a camera phone has decent cameras which is why we have prepared a list of smartphones with impressive cameras under Rs 20,000. If you are looking for a phone under 25K that has a balanced set of features, we've got you covered. Check our list of best phones under 25K.http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/KHPkjQtAf9spraw3RxF7gm.jpg Starting at Rs 13,999, the Redmi Note 7 Pro offers a great camera which appeases photography enthusiasts. Further, it brings down the Sony IMX586 sensor to the budget segment which allows the camera to create pictures with 8000 x 6000 pixels resolution effectively translating to 48MP. The camera on the Note 7 Pro preserves good amount of details with textures, accurate colours and contrast. It is able to capture great dynamic range and with the inclusion of AI-based features such as scene detection among others, the Note 7 Pro definitely sets a benchmark in mobile photography. Read our full review of the Redmi Note 7 Pro http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ZRrXfXm8zqRHG9Xatvpv4D.jpg The Mi A2 succeeds the very successful Mi A1 from Chinese phone maker Xiaomi. Similar to its predecessor, the highlight feature of the Mi A2 is its camera, which has been rated as the best low-light camera under a budget. Not just that, the Mi A2 competes against much pricier handsets when it comes to camera. The Mi A2 captures some really impressive images in good light, and doesn't disappoint in low-light either. It manages to click well exposed photos with good detail and optimum saturation. Read the review here: Xiaomi Mi A2 Review http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/stLirV2fXVMnGAVf2UCCs3.jpg The POCO F1 is, again, from Xiaomi's family. It's the most talked about budget flagship around the globe, which brought the flagship level hardware as low as Rs 19,999. It not just offers a powerful chipset, but also consists of an impressive set of lenses for photography. To recall, it is the same handset that beat the likes of iPhone XS in MKBHD's blind test. The camera results are somewhat close to what Mi A2 has to offer, but the results aren't as natural. It is a wise choice if you are looking for a camera that can produce social-media friendly pictures and don't want to get into the nitty gritty of tones, colors and details. Read full review: POCO F1 review http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Bk8aHz4nhEQkwUN94GJjzX.jpg The Asus Max Pro M2 is the successor that the M1 deserved. More so, because the camera on M1 was one are where it was relatively fell short against the competition. The Max Pro M2 brings major improvements in the camera department and is one of the best cameras one can get at this price. On top, you get a great set of hardware, massive battery and a good UI. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/9SKfhJMyh5LLjUEfGAmzwW.jpg Need to buy a good looking phone with a camera that impresses in good lighting conditions? The Honor 10 Lite is the best in the range. It offers a staggering range of shooting modes – from Automatic, to AI mode for advanced scene detection, right through to semi-automatic and a 100% manual mode, called Pro Mode.

According to rigorous new tests undertaken by AV-Comparatives, two-thirds of the antivirus apps available for Android devices offer no protection whatsoever. In its ongoing mission to offer systemic testing of security software, the independent organization put 250 Android antivirus apps through their paces, finding that all but 80 of them failed to meet even the site's minimum requirements for basic security. According to the site's 2019 test, less than a third of the apps examined managed to detect at least 30% of 2018's malicious apps with zero false alarms – many of the apps that failed to meet the site's standards regularly found popular genuine (clean) apps to be harmful, and malicious ones to be safe. Best Mac antivirus software of 2019Best Windows 10 antivirus of 2019Best cloud antivirus of 2019Where did they go wrong?That ineffectiveness, in large part, stems from the apps not actually scanning code. Many were discovered to be working from outdated and dubious blacklists and whitelists, failing to detect malicious packages if their names sounded like trusted apps (e.g. 'com.facebook' or 'com.whatsapp'). Of course, the apps that did manage to pass with flying colors included many big names from well known and respected antivirus companies, such as Kaspersky Lab, McAfee, Avast, AVG, Trend Micro and Symantec. For a complete list of the apps that failed and passed AV-Comparatives’ latest tests, you can head over to the organization's 2019 results page.

Following the decline in popularity of its failed social media platform, and a spate of security breaches, Google announced it would be deleting all data from Google+ beginning in April, but there are those out there that intend to preserve its somewhat underwhelming legacy. It’s the Internet Archive’s goal to conserve large swathes of the internet in a vast online library so that our rich digital history isn’t at the mercy of various website authors and server hosts that otherwise preside over the data. “Our mission is to provide universal access to all knowledge”, the Archive’s website claims. As such, the task of preserving the legacy of all the public Google+ posts has been put to the Internet Archive, and in a public announcement via Reddit, the organisation revealed it had commenced the archival process using automated scripts to trawl through the social platform. Don't want your comments to be immortalized?Naturally, there are some limitations being enforced in order to manage the undertaking – only posts currently labeled as ‘public’ will be archived, comment threads will have a hard cap of the first 500 comments, and videos and images won’t be stored in their original full resolution. If you happen to have signed up for a Google+ account at some point and have made some public posts over the years you don't want the world to know about, you should get down to removing these now – or mark them as private. There is, however, a chance your public post has already been archived, in which case the Internet Archive has laid down a procedure for you to follow to request your post be removed from the site.

If you're in the market for an affordable Android tablet that covers the basics, Walmart might have something of interest: the US retail giant is reportedly prepping a budget Android tablet to take on the iPad. Bloomberg describes the upcoming tablet as "an inexpensive, kid-friendly" device that's going to carry the ONN store brand that Walmart uses for other products. According to product filings registered with the US Federal Communications Commission, the tablets will be manufactured in China and come with Google's mobile operating system on board – though perhaps with a Walmart twist. Tablet sales have been strugglingWhat we want to see from the next iPadCheck out the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5eA Walmart spokesperson did confirm to Bloomberg that such devices were indeed on the way, but we don't have any other details like a price, a launch date or international availability information as yet. Take the tabletsAnother source says the upcoming slate will feature an 8-inch screen, a MediaTek MT8163 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of expandable storage, and is going to come with Android 9 Pie on board. The choice isn't a huge one for anyone interested in picking up a tablet that isn't made by Apple. Amazon sells some very cheap Fire tablets with its own version of Android on board, while Samsung still offers a few more premium alternatives. Google itself seems to be moving towards using Chrome OS on tablets, with a side serving of Android apps – as it did with the recent Pixel Slate. It sounds as though the Walmart ONN Android tablet will be designed along similar lines to the now discontinued Tesco Hudl tablet: something cheap enough to tempt you into an impulse purchase as you browse the store.

One thing to note is that any games shown on CBS, which is free over-the-air, won’t count against the 3-hour time limit. If you have a cable subscription and would prefer to watch March Madness on your TV, truTV will show all of the games in the First Four, CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV will show the first and second rounds, CBS and TBS will show the regional semifinals and finals and CBS will show the Final Four as well as the national championship.

But just in case... Over the course of three weeks, college basketball teams from across the US will play 67 games in total to decide which team will be crowned champion. The tradition dates all the way back to 1939 when there were just eight teams participating in the competition. March Madness begins with Selection Sunday where 32 teams will gain automatic entry as a result of winning their respective conferences and the remaining teams will be picked by a selection committee. Besides learning which teams will play in the tournament, Sunday will also be the first day the bracket will be officially released to the public. The eight teams are divided into four regions and they are then seeded from one to 16 with the top team from each region earning the top seed. The NCAA tournament then enters the first round where the number one seed will face the number 16 team and the rest of the teams will be matched accordingly with low seed teams facing off against high seed teams. During the second week, the remaining teams will advance to the Sweet Sixteen and then the Elite Eight. Each region’s winners will then head to the Final Four during the third and final week of the tournament where they’ll compete for a place in the national championship to see who will be this year’s winner. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ebGZgkd4qVX7mUuvz3WNkH.jpg http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/vrR7PQlrqZg

Nokia is one of the most established and long-running names in phones, even if it has changed hands a few times, and it's gathered a dedicated fan base over the years. With low prices but great specs and features, Nokia phones are a reliable go-to if you're looking for a new phone – but with so many on the market, it can be hard choosing which one to get. That's why we've made this buying guide, so we can suggest the best Nokia phones out now and compare the various phone models. If you're set on buying a new Nokia phone these are all great options. The company has three new smartphones hitting the market – the Nokia 3.2, Nokia 4.2 and five-camera photography powerhouse Nokia 9 PureView – but until we've tested out these latest models, these are best Nokia phones you should consider today. Best Samsung Phone | Best Huawei Phone | Best iPhone http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LRWtzbCUFZXrkg5SbqKZ8W.jpg Image credit: TechRadar The Nokia 8.1 is our favorite Nokia phone – it's a competent mid-range device offering up a tried-and-tested Snapdragon 710 chipset, functional camera, and adequate battery, all for a relatively low price. For such a low-priced phone you'll certainly be impressed by its screen , with 2280 x 1080 Full HD+ and an 81% screen-to-body ratio, and an elegant design to match. It's by no means a powerful smartphone, and it won't rival high-end models in terms of specs of functions, but at its price band it's a tempting device. Read our in-depth review: Nokia 8.1 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/PqRadCLzzfD8fVWqSzX3xM.jpg Image credit: TechRadar While the Nokia 6.1 doesn't quite have all the bells and whistles of the Nokia 8.1, it's still a great device – especially given many of the downsides we could attribute to it wouldn’t realistically be expected on a phone of its price in 2018. It's a tough device with a robust design and strong frame – fans of solid and secure phones will love the Nokia 6.1's durability. It also packs some pretty impressive specs for its low price, with a competent chipset and splendid screen – yet its camera loadout isn't as impressive as it could be.

That tall, bright, sharp screen really stands out for us though, and it makes video watching a pleasure – you can easily forget you're not using a modern flagship with it. And at such a low price point, you definitely won't come away from the Nokia 7.1 feeling like you've got a bad deal – it's a reliable and snappy Nokia smartphone. Read our in-depth review: Nokia 7.1 http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cKKmkqaQxb25XvjvCkhAZj.jpg Image credit: TechRadar You wouldn't guess to look at it that the Nokia 5.1 is another mid-range smartphone – its metal body, classical styling and sleek design make it look like a premium device. Of course it's what inside that counts too, and the Nokia 5.1 doesn't have the best specs which it's why it's a little lower on our list – but that doesn't mean it's a bad phone, and it'll serve your needs easily. The Nokia 5.1 also has a great screen, with a Full HD+ display, which is rare in its price category – but it should be this low cost that draws you in in the first place, as few phones that look this good cost so little.

For its low price, it's got some great features, including an impressive battery life, a dual-lens rear camera setup and good-looking screen. While it does cut some corners to keep the price low like a low storage limit and mono speakers, it's still a great device if you're looking to spend as little as possible on your new Nokia phone.

Could a big selection of mini-games tempt you to spend more time inside Snapchat? According to an anonymous source "familiar with the matter", Snapchat is planning to announce a new gaming platform as early as next month. Cheddar reports that developers will be able to build games that live inside the Snapchat app, though what exactly they might look like and how they might work isn't yet clear. It's a rumor we've heard before, with a Snapchat gaming platform launch initially tipped for the end of 2018. That didn't happen, but it sounds as though the new features are ready to go in 2019. Snapchat recently rolled out a redesignTwitter introduces Snapchat-style camera featuresSnapchat Lenses are on the desktopAn announcement will be made at the start of April at a Snapchat content and developer summit, according to Cheddar, with games made available at some point after that. Playing the gameThe signs are there: last year Snapchat parent company Snap acquired a small Australian gaming studio, and it's also been rumored to have made other similar acquisitions lately. The Snapchat also has previous form for this, with little augmented reality games called Snappables appearing inside the app in early 2018. It sounds like the new titles would be much broader in scope. Snapchat could certainly use something to keep attracting users in its battle with Instagram, having seen its popular Stories format stolen by other apps. Games could be accompanied by advertising or in-app purchases, boosting revenue for Snap. If and when Snapchat launches a new gaming platform, we'll let you know. It's possible there might even be games for the Snapchat Spectacles. These are the best smartphones to buy for gamersVia The Verge http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/knViuDVKCI8
