Logitech Bluetooth Music Receiver review – CNET
Congratulations: you just bought a brand new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. But it doesn’t have a standard headphone jack, and you already misplaced the dongle. Yes, wireless speakers and headphones are cheaper and better than ever before. But if you want to retrofit an existing stereo system or old boom box to be wireless…

Review: Sony Xperia XZ
The Sony Xperia XZ may be the brand’s fourth flagship in the last two years, but it’s been a whole year since it released the Xperia Z5 to critical acclaim at IFA 2015. In the meantime Sony has released the Xperia X, which we believed to be its latest flagship handset at the time –…

Hands-on review: GoPro Hero5 Session
The GoPro Hero5 Session is the small, cube-shaped action camera that’s now capable of shooting stabilized 4K video and capturing all sorts of new wide angles. It’s the scrappy alternative to the new GoPro Hero5 Black, and surprisingly it shares many of the top-end specs within its more compact camera frame. This is a big…

Hands-on review: Jumper EZpad 5S
Microsoft’s Surface 3 was, at least in the subdued PC market, a relative success, selling well despite a rather steep price point for what it provides hardware-wise (something we criticised). At nearly £500 ($ 690 in the US, which is around AU$ 920) when you factor in the detachable keyboard and the stylus, it comes…

Vizio M-Series 2016 review – CNET
Update August 10, 2016: Vizio has issued the software update allowing the P-series and M-series TVs to work with HDR10 sources like 4K Blu-ray players. It worked well in our initial tests.

Motorola Moto G4 Play review – CNET
CNET Mobile Phones Motorola Moto G4 Play If the Moto G4 didn’t exist, the stepped-down (and even cheaper) Motorola Moto G4 Play would be the deal of the century. For just $ 150, £130 and AU$ 279 (or $ 100 for Amazon Prime members who submit to Amazon Prime ads, like this), you get a…

Apple Watch Series 2 review – CNET
There is a watch-shaped ring around my left wrist, a permanent tan-line. I’ve worn a watch since I was a kid. I’ve always liked to sleep with my watch. To shower with my watch. To swim with my watch. Not everyone likes to do this. But it’s helpful to have a watch be something that’s…

Hands-on review: Updated: iPhone 7 Plus
Apple’s recent strategy to bring out an iPhablet that takes all the best bits of the smaller iPhone has been a strong one – but this year, the iPhone 7 Plus is a phone that’s markedly better than the smaller model. That’s mostly achieved through two things: the battery life and innovative camera. The former…
