Christmas is fast approaching and if you’re planning on updating your decorations, some new Christmas lights may be in order. Smart lights can give you more colour options and more control (no more crawling around under the tree to find the switch). You can set up schedules, choose patterns and change colours at the touch of a (virtual) button. One of the best things is, if you get a multicolour set by the likes of Twinkly, you can change the colour of your tree or decorative lights as often as you like, whenever you want. Following, we share our pick of the best smart Christmas lights availa ..read more

The temperature has dropped, the air is freezing and we can all agree that winter is here. That means it’s time to get out the gloves. But if you’re regularly using your phone when you’re out, for directions or texting, there’s a problem. Walking in a bitter wind, a glove clamped between your teeth so you don’t lose it, while stabbing at your phone with one frozen finger is not the way to do the colder months.  That’s why touchscreen gloves are a must-have. A conductive wire woven into the gloves’ fabric transmits the electrical charge from your body to the sensors on your ..read more

From the beginning, Nothing has made it clear that it won’t start releasing lots of phones every year, as is the case with some Chinese companies.

Could the latter be repeated on the upcoming Phone (3). It’s certainly possible. Here’s everything we know about Nothing’s next smartphone at this stage. When will the N ..read more

When we originally wrote this guide in 2013, it was a long-winded piece because – in essence – it was a pain to transfer everything. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case.
