£599 inc VAT from fave.co/2uocDct The Honor 9 is the latest flagship from the Huawei sub-brand, and it liberally borrows from the Huawei P10’s specifications while sticking to the Honor aesthetic and aiming for a much friendlier price point. Design In terms of looks, the Honor 9 is a blend of the Honor 8 and the Huawei P10. It’s available in three colours – Glacier Grey, Sapphire Blue and Midnight Black – and our review unit is the brand’s signature blue, which is immediately eye-catching. The blue is shown off to maximum effect by the glass body – built, like the Honor 8, out of 15 curved layers – which leaves the phone with an almost impossibly glossy finish (with the inevitable downside of being a bit of a fingerprint…

Running Android apps on Chromebooks is still a dream – a dream in extended beta, that is. After promising the feature earlier this year, Google has pushed out the release date. While a select number of Chromebooks can access Google Play right out of the box, more adventurous Chromebook users will need to run the developer beta of Chrome OS to experience Android apps. After spending time with a number of Android apps that have become Chrome-friendly, I actually prefer some Android versions on Chrome over the web-based versions, as mobile apps can be refreshingly simple and uncluttered. To get into the beta channel, go to your Chromebook’s Settings page and click About Chrome OS. Next, click Detailed build information, then click Change Channel. There, you can switch from the…

Call me a flip-flopper, but the new features in iOS 11 have me thinking of jumping back to iOS after switching to Android barely a year ago. Indeed, the new version of iOS brings such enticing features as a revamped App Store, a customizable Control Centre, and drag-and-drop for iPad users, plus such catch-up features as one-handed typing and easy person-to-person payments. But returning to iOS would mean leaving behind many Android features I’ve grown to love, from the ability to set up multiple user profiles to one-touch Google searches on whatever’s on-screen at a given moment. Here are six awesome Android features that iOS 11 has yet to match. 1. Multiple user profiles Given all the innovations coming to the iPad courtesy of iOS 11, from the ability to…

£599 inc VAT from fave.co/2tQGZUJ The annals of Android are littered with one-and-done gimmicks that were originally hailed as the next big thing. Indeed, from slide-out game pads to built-in projectors, way too many Android phones have included features that never caught on. So, will the new Edge Sense feature in the HTC U11 meet a similar fate? Probably. But the U11 is still a great phone that’s fun to use. A more pocketable version of the ill-conceived U Ultra, HTC’s newest flagship isn’t just another highly-specified handset with good looks and a great camera. The new Edge Sense feature lets you launch apps and actions by squeezing the sides of the phone. It’s a gimmick for sure, but one of the best gimmicks ever to grace an Android handset.…

£155 inc VAT from tinyurl.com/ych5qk5a Snapchat is a hugely popular social networking app available for iOS and Android that lets users share photos and videos that automatically expire after a set amount of time. While Snap came from small beginnings, the company is estimated to be worth $29 billion and is looking to enter the camera market with its inaugural product, Snapchat Spectacles. Design The design of the Spectacles will divide opinion; while some will love the quirky and out-there design of the sunglasses, others will think it’s a bit too in-your-face and would prefer something a little more understated. It’s available in three colours: Black, Teal (Blue) and Coral (Red), with the Black variant being the most understated in terms of design. It features a black frame, black lenses…
