Pros
Cleans and dries mop pads
Self-emptying
AI.See object recognition
Carpet detection
Cons
The station’s colour and dimensions make it difficult to find a spot for, or blend in with decor
Our Verdict
There’s very little to criticise where the X10 Pro Omni is concerned. It’s packed full of features, vacuums well, and has advanced object recognition. It’s well priced, too. If it’s within budget, it should be at the top of your list.

Pros
Self-cleaning and drying mop
Automatic emptying
Anti-hair wrap
Switches between floor types
Cons
Base takes up floor space
Poor pick-up on thick carpet
Emptying is noisy
Our Verdict
Yeedi’s M12 Pro+ vacuum mop is a great fit for homes with multiple hard floors. It’ll mop the edges and even the corners, before using hot water to hygienically clean the pads and dry them, so there’s minimal maintenance. However, while it’ll tackle a low-pile rug, those with thicker carpets will still have to reach for a separate vac: its single spinning brush and brush ro ..read more

Huawei is back with a new generation of its photography-focused flagships, but some incredible camera tech is let down by a major shortcoming once again.
The Pura 70 range – a rebranding of the P series devices that came before it – includes three new devices. A regular Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro can be seen as direct successors to last year’s models, but the Pura 70 Ultra is brand new.
To say cameras are the main focus (pun unintended) would be an understatement. The 50Mp main rear sensors on all three phones have a variable aperture, helping to boost low-light performance and deliver nat ..read more

Pros
Well priced
Three brushing modes
Fairly quiet in operation
Good brushing performance
Cons
Long charging time
No battery warning or charging light
No pressure sensor
Our Verdict
If you’re looking for the best cheap electric toothbrush you can buy, this may well be it. It really only lacks a pressure sensor. But bear in mind that its short battery life and long charging time mean that you’ll need to keep it on the stand. If you can’t do this, it may not be worth it.

When it comes to smartphone software, Android is one of the so-called ‘big two’.
Unless you have an iPhone (which runs iOS), you almost certainly use some version of Android if you have a smartphone.
However, your Android phone up to date is key to ensuring that you get the latest features and that your device remains secure.
How do I update my phone?
We’re using the Nothing Phone (2) for the purposes of this tutorial, but the method is much the same on any Android phone.
Most phones automatically notify you of new updates by default, but will only download them when connected to Wi-Fi and wh ..read more

Pros
Sleek design
High-quality display
Slick Wear OS software
Lots of health and wellness features
Cons
Erratic heart rate sensor
Underwhelming battery life
Not the latest software version
No automatic workout tracking
Our Verdict
The Xiaomi Watch 2 is a fairly standard Wear OS smartwatch, which reflects very well on its affordable price point. But unreliable heart rate data and the common Wear OS battery issues mean it might be worth spending a bit more.

It had said in January that the $9.99/£7.99 Basic plan would be retired in the middle of 2024, but the email is news to many of those who happily subscribe in markets including the UK, USA and Ca ..read more
