Best Smart Speakers: Amazon Echo, Google Home and More

Best Smart Speakers: Amazon Echo, Google Home and More

Put a Virtual Assistant in Your Home

There’s a good chance that your first smart home device will be a smart speaker. For one, it works just fine as a way to play music from your smartphone or the cloud. But if you start talking to it, the speaker will respond to your commands. It can do things like look up the weather and sports scores, turn on your coffee maker, read you a book or even change the channel on your TV.

Our favorite smart speaker is the Amazon Echo. It produces very good sound, and the Alexa voice assistant currently has the most robust set of features and abilities. Our budget pick is the Echo Dot, which costs just $50. Google Home is worth considering for its price and compatibility with Google’s services, but it doesn’t have as many skills as Amazon’s Alexa.

Editors’ Note: We are in the process of reviewing the Echo Show, the first Alexa speaker from Amazon with a built-in touch screen. Check out this review roundup to see what critics are saying so far. The Apple HomePod will be released this December, so stay tuned for a review.

iOS 11 Hands-on: Here’s How It Changes Your iPhone

iOS 11 Hands-on: Here’s How It Changes Your iPhone

Wearables, , , , , , , ,

iOS 11 on the iPad introduces a brave new world of improved multitasking, dragging-and-dropping, and launching apps from a familiar dock. Yes, Apple saved the most substantive changes for its tablets, so it’s tempting to overlook the enhancements on the iPhone side of things.

That would be selling the iOS 11 update short. While this initial beta iOS 11 feels more like a continuation of iOS 10 than an entirely new version, it does introduce some noteworthy changes that can expand what our phone can do. Some are available now, such as a customizable Control Center and Siri-powered translation tools, and others are on the horizon, like Apple Pay support for transferring money and augmented-reality-friendly apps. Here’s what we like — and what we don’t — so far.

The same but different: Canon EOS 6D Mark II shooting experience

The same but different: Canon EOS 6D Mark II shooting experience

Cameras, , , , , ,

Spot the difference: on the outside, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II looks a lot like its predecessor, but it’s a considerably more powerful camera.

The Canon EOS 6D is something of an oddity in digital camera terms, having been in continuous production for almost five years. But finally, the time has come for an update to one of Canon’s most popular models, and it has arrived in the shape of the EOS 6D Mark II.

Unusually for a new Canon product, we had the chance earlier this month to use a late pre-production EOS 6D Mark II ahead of its official announcement. What follows is a first take on how the camera performs, based on a two-day shooting excursion, organized by Canon, to the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Apple Pay v Samsung Pay v Android Pay: Smartwatch payments fight it out

Apple Pay v Samsung Pay v Android Pay: Smartwatch payments fight it out

Wearables, , , , , , , , , , , ,

How do the different services compare?

Mobile payments are no longer the future – they’re now – but the question, of course, is which is the best way to pay?

Battle of the wearable payments

Which service you use will depend on what smartwatch you’re rocking, which in turn will be partly influenced by your smartphone of choice. The good news is that there’s a bit more parity these days, but there are certainly some differences you should be aware of.

We’ve put the big three head to head. It’s Samsung Pay, Apple Pay and Android Pay in a big slinging match, but instead of fists being thrown it’s dollar bills. Who is the money master when it comes to wearable payments?

Asus ROG Zephyrus Review

Asus ROG Zephyrus Review

Computers & IT, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sailing in on the waves of change, the Asus ROG Zephyrus (starting at $2,299, $2,699 as tested) has arrived. As one of the first gaming laptops to use Nvidia’s new Max-Q design, the Zephyrus bridges the gap between power and portability by managing to fit an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU beneath its beguiling metallic frame. And if this laptop doesn’t captivate with its design, the lovely 1080p Nvidia G-Sync display and strong gaming performance will. Subpar battery life and audio output may give some pause, but the Zephyrus is truly a groundbreaking achievement.

Design: I Can’t Believe It’s an Asus

When I first saw the Zephyrus, I was awestruck by its complicated beauty. The lid is made of brushed aluminum with half of the striations flowing horizontally, with the rest going vertical. When light hits the lid, there’s a cool two-tone effect that makes you want to stare even longer. The silver chrome Republic of Gamers logo has been enlarged and placed on the left side of the lid, like a jaunty lapel pin on a fancy double-breasted suit.

Cambridge CXA60 vs Rega Brio – which is better?

Audio & Video, , , , ,

The stereo amplifier is the beating heart of any hi-fi system. It’s the link between your source and your speakers, driving your system to its fullest potential. Here, two of the very best amps on the market go head-to-head

When the Cambridge CXA60 emerged in 2015, it filled a gap in the market for a brilliant mid-priced stereo amplifier. This highly accomplished amp with many features went on to win a What Hi-Fi? Award two years in a row. In fact, it’s our reigning champion.

But that could all change thanks to the delicate, yet ferocious, Rega Brio – a mighty upgrade we’ve waited seven long years for. This sixth-generation Brio sounds terrific, and we’ve been itching to pit these two five-star stereo amps against each other.

We explore the highs and lows of the Cambridge CXA60 and the Rega Brio to guide you to your new favourite stereo amplifier…

Original iPhone vs iPhone 7: What’s the difference 10 years on?

Phones, , , , ,

Today, 29 June 2017, is 10 years to the day since the original Apple iPhone hit store shelves in the US. It’s arguably the most significant mobile device ever launched, and no device before or since has had such a big impact on the market.

Simply put, smartphones are the way they are today because of the iPhone’s leap forward.

While few will argue against the original iPhone’s impact, many will happily complain at the lack of progress between each new version of the popular smartphone brand. Exactly what has changed since the first model?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs Galaxy Note 7: What’s the rumoured difference?

Samsung is rumoured to be launching its much-anticipated Galaxy Note 8 at the end of August. The device will succeed the Note 7, which was a fantastic device until its battery issues destroyed its reputation and left it for dead.

Nothing official has been announced regarding the Note 8’s specs from Samsung itself but there have been plenty of rumours to help us see how it might compare to the Note 7. With that in mind, here are the two devices neck-in-neck, based on the speculation.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II vs 5D Mark IV: What’s the difference and which should I buy?

Cameras, , , , , , , ,

When the Canon EOS 5D MkIV burst onto the pro camera scene in 2016, it hit so many tick boxes that, well, few other full-frame cameras seemed to be worth a look-in.

Until, that is, looking at the price. The 5D Mark IV is a rather pricey machine – it’s £3,349/$5,024 body-only at the time of writing – so, surely, there’s something more affordable out there that doesn’t compromise too much?

Well, the brand new EOS 6D Mark II could be the perfect solution, given its sub-£2K/$3,5K body only price. That £1,349/$2,024 saving could translate into a lens. But what pros and cons do these two full-frame DSLR cameras have against one another?

iFi nano iOne review

Audio & Video, , , , , , ,

What was it your mother taught you about dropping your ‘H’s? We ’adn’t ’eard of iFi before the iOne found its way onto our review schedule, but we’d be more than ’appy to ’ear more.

In its simplest terms, the iOne is a Bluetooth compatible DAC with inputs for USB and S/PDIF hardware. That means you can use it either as an upgrade to your existing digital source, or to add wireless capability to a system without a DAC.

Build

It isn’t much to look at – and we mean that in a literal sense. Measuring only 100mm by 64mm, and weighing just 122g, the iOne is truly befitting of its ‘nano’ tag. There’s no reorganisation necessary to fit it into the rest of your hi-fi system.

There’s little here to console those who’d prefer the more tactile heft of the Arcam irDAC-II, recently reduced by £200 and now this product’s main competitor in the market. However, there’s a clue on iFi’s website as to why the DAC is so lightweight and diminutive.

Cadillac Super Cruise First Drive: Trusting the machine

Cars, , , , , , ,

It was, conservatively, 90 seconds before I was satisfied Cadillac’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system wasn’t going to kill me. By that point, a combination of cameras, super-accurate maps, and a fancier-than-usual GPS system were keeping me dead-center at 65 mph on California’s 280, headed north toward San Francisco. As the CT6 eased its way around the corners, I spent a few moments considering that the car of the future apparently communicates not with the voice of Mr Feeny from Boy Meets World, but with a glowing green steering wheel instead.

 At times, it seems like every car company – and every company tangentially related to the auto industry – is working on autonomous vehicles. If you’re an car manufacturer, and you haven’t set up a swish geek-lab in the Valley, you’re almost guaranteed to get laughed out of whatever auto show you dare show your face at next. Self-driving cars, so the story goes, are the Next Big Thing. Your kids may as well ditch Drivers’ Ed, since they won’t need a license.

Hands on: Honor Band 3 review

Wearables, , , , , , ,

The Honor Band 3 is nothing to shout about. It’s functional and colorful and does the things we expect from a fitness tracker.

Well, perhaps it’s unfair to say nothing to shout about. The price is pretty good compared to the rest of the market, given what Honor has paced  into the band – essentially, it’s a Fitbit rival that doesn’t cost as much.

zqNqvfqs5SUvP5dDzUcm9B-650-80

Honor Band 3 price

If you’re looking to keep an eye on your steps, runs, swims and sleeps, then this band will only set you back £59.99, which equates to around $75 or AU$100.

It’s definitely deep into affordable territory for many, and given the abilities it packs, it’s not a bad price at all.

Sony Bravia X9300E (KD-65X9300E) review

Audio & Video, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Last year’s Sony Bravia X9300D impressed us greatly with its powerful X1 processor, superb colours and picture quality, ultra thin design and user-friendly Android TV operating system. Now, Sony is back with its latest flagship LED TV, the KD-65X9300E (also known as the KD-65XE9305 in the UK).

zocFMAHnJepXZFFooEMza8-650-80

A lot of talk has surrounded the release of Sony’s A1 OLED television (a set that’s out in the UK and US, but still awaiting release in Australia), but if you don’t care enough about self-lighting pixels to wait, its new X9300E 4K HDR TV is as good as it gets when it comes to LCD/LED display technology.

A next-gen processor is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the X9300E’s improvements over last year’s model, with areas such as backlighting, picture quality, design, compatibility, upscaling and user interactivity getting significant updates.

B&O BeoPlay E4 review

Audio & Video, , , , , , , , , ,

If noise-cancelling is a must-have feature when you’re on the market for a new set of headphones, you’ve not really been spoilt for choice if you favor in-ear buds rather than over-ear cans.

NTmsMmBac447Z5mVkNVy2g-1200-80

In fact, scan our selection of the best in-ear options, and we’ve only really got the Bose QuietControl 30 to truly recommend, thanks to their wireless nature combined with decent sound quality and fantastic noise-cancellation.

The B&O BeoPlay E4 wired earphones have the luxury of entering a relatively sparse market then, and certainly manage to hold their own. But a few annoying design decisions prevent them from being quite as good as they could be.

12.9-Inch iPad Pro Review

12.9-Inch iPad Pro Review

Tablets, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The tablet Apple claims can replace a PC laptop is finally living up to that promise. The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro (from $799; $1,067 with Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil) boasts a superbright ProMotion display that wows, and its A10X Fusion processor is so speedy, it leaves many premium laptops in its dust. This is a nearly perfect productivity tablet, and the upcoming iOS 11 will provide an even more computer-like experience than its predecessor. But there are still some reasons not to ditch your notebook yet.

Design: More of the same, in a good way

A massive slab of machined aluminum and glass, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is just as intimidating to pick up and hold as last year’s model. You’ll notice only two small design changes in this year’s model: The reception bar at the top of its shell is no longer black, and there’s now a flash below the rear camera.

Astro A10 Review: A Great, Cheap Gaming Headset

Astro A10 Review: A Great, Cheap Gaming Headset

Audio & Video, Wearables, , , ,

Kết quả hình ảnh cho astro a10

When I think Astro, I think fancy wireless gaming headsets that cost hundreds of dollars. That’s why I was so eager to test out the $60 Astro A10, the company’s first foray into the entry-level headset arena, which is dominated by the likes of Turtle Beach and HyperX.

As it turns out, Astro can compete with the little guys just as well as it does with the big boys. The A10 performs impressively well for its price, offering a slick design, solid audio and a reliable microphone. However, it can get a bit snug, and faces some serious competition from cozier headsets that are even more affordable.

Premium looks on a budget

It might not have the metal components and fancy features of its more expensive siblings, but the Astro A10 is impressively slick and sturdy for a plastic $60 headset. It’s essentially a baby brother version of the premium Astro A50, sporting big, boxy ear cups and a bendable mic that you can flip up to mute.

Pioneer Rayz Rally review

Wearables, , , , , , , , , , ,

pioneer-rayz-rally-05

Let’s face it: the speaker built into your iPhone sounds pretty bad. Pioneer’s no-hassle Lighting-powered speaker, the Rayz Rally, is a real upgrade.

Available worldwide in Apple Stores and from Apple.com in ice, onyx or space gray colors for $100, £100 or AU$160, the tiny, pocket-size speaker dongle plugs into the Lightning port of your iOS device. It draws power from your phone, so there’s no internal battery — and no charging required. A mini business-grade speakerphone aimed at “digital nomads” who work from anywhere, it also has no trouble playing music or the sound from your video content.

The single button on the speaker serves as a mute button during phone calls (so callers can’t hear you) or a pause/play button while listening to music or videos. And like the Rayz Plusheadphone, there’s a pass-through Lightning port integrated into the speaker that allows you to charge your phone with a separate Lightning cable.

Lenbaby Velvet 85 review

lensbaby-velvet-85-02

An 85mm version of its Velvet 56mm lens, the Lensbaby Velvet 85 delivers the same idiosyncratic, dreamy defocus effect, this time in an f1.8 telephoto. And it’s quickly become one of my new favorites for street photography.

The Velvet 85 will start shipping in mid-July on lensbaby.com for for $500 in a host of dSLR and mirrorless mounts, for both full-frame and crop sensors, including Sony E and Micro Four Thirds. I don’t have non-US pricing or availability yet, but directly converted, it’s £393 and AU$660.

Like the Velvet 56, it’s constructed of metal with a clicky aperture ring on the body side. Apertures run from f1.8 to f16 in whole stops (except for the first step, f1.8 to f2, which is one-third of a stop). There’s also a knurled, strongly damped focusing ring. The distance range runs from 9.5 inch/24cm from the front element in macro mode up to 21 feet/7m before making the jump to infinity; a full rotation of the lens before you hit macro takes it down to 12 inches/0.3 m.

OLED vs QLED – which is the best TV technology?

Audio & Video, , , , , , , ,

There may only be one letter between these two technologies, but the way they deliver an image is vastly different. We illuminate the bright lights and gloomy darks of OLED and QLED TV screens..

These are halcyon days for TV technology. Ultra HD 4K is now pretty well established, HDR is beginning to make headway, and streaming puts a near-infinite supply of content at our fingerprints all day, every day.

But these are also confusing times for TV technology, with new acronyms and marketing terms raining down like confetti at the wedding of the managing director of a confetti company.

One of the key current confusions lies in the comparison between them and, as is so often the case, marketing is largely to blame – particularly from the QLED camp. So what exactly is the difference between OLED and QLED?

eero 2nd-gen Review (2017): Mesh network’s star raises its game

Wearables, , , , , , , , ,

No good idea in the tech world goes without replication, and while eero may have started the home mesh networking segment, it can’t afford to rest on its laurels. Throw open your doors, therefore, to the second-generation eero and the new eero Beacon, promising more flexibility, a more competitive price, and more speed. Indeed, performance is said be as much as twice that of the original eero, which launched back in 2015.

Since then, the mesh networking market has flourished. On the one hand, traditional router manufacturers like Netgear and Linksys have woken up to the idea that consumers will pay for more consistent coverage wherever they are in their home. At the same time, heavyweights like Google have weighed in with products like Google Wifi: with the bulk of their services residing in the cloud, it makes perfect sense to streamline how readily users can reach them.

The Miggö Pictar is a pricey camera grip for iPhone photographers – Review

Cameras, Wearables, , , , ,

Many photographers would probably agree that the image quality of smartphone cameras has improved rapidly over the past few years and in many cases now rivals the output from some conventional digital compact cameras. However, even if the image quality of the smartphone camera in your pocket is all you need, there is still one area in which conventional cameras offer undeniable advantages over smartphones: ergonomics.

Multi-touch smartphone displays are great for general use and navigation of mobile devices, but many photographers prefer physical buttons and dials for setting camera shooting parameters over virtual controls on a screen.

Fossil Q x Cory Richards review One of the best looking Android Wear watches gets more value

Fossil Q x Cory Richards review : One of the best looking Android Wear watches gets more value

Wearables, , , , ,

Like its cousin the Fossil Q Marshall, the Cory Richards lacks substance in features but is heavy on style. When paired with the Cory Richards leather band, this watch is one of the more eye-catching smartwatches you could put on your wrist. It’s incredibly clear that a Fossil smartwatch will look good on your wrist, but everything else is clearly secondary.

Fossil Q Cory Richards

Over the past year or so, Fossil has made a big push into Android Wear watches. So much so that for its latest, it’s teamed up with famed National Geographic photographer Cory Richards for a special edition smartwatch.

Enter the Fossil Q x Cory Richards, a classy watch designed by an adventurer but perfectly suited to your fancy night out or a day at the office. Despite being designed by a professional adventurer, it’s not built for pure adventure. It’s a cousin of the Fossil Q Marshal, except with a couple of design differences and inspirations. It’s also quite pricy at $325.

But can those inspirations and class bridge the gap? And could it tempt you to part with a whole bunch of cash? Let’s find out.

Honor 9 vs Honor 8: What’s the difference?

If you’re looking for a relatively affordable mid-level phone then Honor’s unveiling of the Honor 9 may well have sparked your interest – and not just because of its spangly Sapphire Blue finish. For this £380 phone delivers plenty of bang for your buck.

Compared to last year’s Honor 8, the newer model delivers some nips and tucks on the design front, enhanced dual cameras, along with revamped innards for greater power – but without a significant price bump between the two generations.

 Here’s the skinny on how the Honor 9 differs from the Honor 8.

Medion Erazor P7647 review

Computers & IT, , , , , , ,

The Medion Erazor P7647 is a gaming laptop that brings decent power for a very decent price. While many gaming laptops these days can cost a lot – with price tags well over the $1,000/£1,000/AU$1,400 mark – the Erazor P7647 comes in at quite a bit less.

Of course, when you’re a fair bit less expensive than your competitors there are bound to be compromises. Medion’s task when creating an affordable gaming laptop is to make sure it keeps the price down while not skimping too much on components, or build quality.

Has Medion achieved this delicate balancing act with the Erazor P7647? We put it to the test to see if it can handle some of the latest and most demanding PC games.

2017 Aston Martin DB11 Henley Royal Regatta Review

Cars, , ,

Aston Martin is no stranger to making special edition models. Its Q by Aston Martin personalization department is responsible for recent creations like the Vanquish S Red Arrows Edition that paid tribute to the Spitfire plane and the Blades Aerobatic Display Team and the AM37 powerboat-inspired Vanquish Volante. These two special edition models were unveiled a few months ago, so you can imagine how much of a groove Q by Aston Martin is in. Turns out, we don’t need to wait too long for Q’s next creation because it’s already arrived. It’s called the DB11 Henley Regatta and it’s a sight to behold.

Created to celebrate Aston’s partnership with Henley Royal Regatta, the one-off DB11 packs plenty of exclusive nods that reflect the prestige associated with one of the world’s prestigious rowing events. For those who aren’t familiar, the Henley Royal Regatta is a rowing event held annually on the River Thames by the town of Henley-on-Thames. It was founded in 1839 and is considered one of the oldest sporting events in the world. It figures then that with the event’s history, coupled with Aston Martin’s long-standing involvement in the realm of nautical sports, a partnership between the two entities would happen. Now it has with a one-off DB11 that received extensive work on the exterior and interior to make it a true one-off creation.

If you’re looking for an in-ear headphone for under $100 (£70 or AU$150), you have a lot of choices.

2017 Hyundai i30 range review

2017 Hyundai i30 range review

Cars, , , , , ,

The Hyundai i30 small hatchback is one of Australia’s highest-selling vehicles, making the brand-new third-generation version launched in April a highly significant car.

Put mildly, this rival to the Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3 – chief among a plethora of small car offerings in the market – is a prime candidate for a full range review.

Here we take a look at the five specification levels, as well as the three engine offerings oriented respectively to cost, fuel economy or dynamic performance and response.

The first i30 launched in 2007 put Hyundai on the map as a serious player that could do more than merely out-price its rivals, while the second-generation model launched in 2012 was regular atop the sales charts.
