It&rsquo;s cheaper than before too, though still not the outstanding value of some of its competitors.</p>

  24. <p>After getting back into its mid-range smartphone groove with the Galaxy A54 5G, Samsung returns with another classy sub-&pound;500 offering in the Galaxy A55 5G.</p>
  25.  
  26.  
  27.  
  28. <p>With prices starting from just &pound;439, the Galaxy A55 5G represents the kind of price cut we don&rsquo;t see much of these days. Despite being cheaper, it manages to add a larger display and a faster processor, all housed in a more premium design than before.</p>
  29.  
  30.  
  31.  
  32. <p>You can perhaps understand why Samsung would feel compelled to offer more for less, given the upward pressure exerted by excellent-value phones like the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2255660/nothing-phone-2a-review.html">Nothing Phone (2a)</a> and the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2112371/motorola-edge-40-neo-review.html">Motorola Edge 40 Neo</a>, as well as direct competition from the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2228682/xiaomi-redmi-note-13-pro-plus-review.html">Redmi Note 13 Pro+</a>. </p>

  58. <p>The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G doesn&rsquo;t look all that different to the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1682608/samsung-galaxy-a54-5g-review.html">Galaxy A54 5G</a>. Other than the latter&rsquo;s subtly rounded edge being completely flattened out, it&rsquo;s spot the difference stuff.</p>
  59.  
  60.  
  61.  
  62. <p>Those flat edges ultimately speak to the direction of travel Samsung has taken with its flagship Galaxy S24. However, the Galaxy A55 5G (together with its brother the Galaxy A35 5G) distinguishes itself with a unique raised housing for the power and volume buttons.</p>

  101.  
  102. <p>Any lingering sense of familiarity vanishes the second you lay your hands on the A55 5G. This is a significantly more premium piece of work, eschewing the plastic of its predecessor in favour of an aluminium frame and a glass back.</p>
  103.  
  104.  
  105.  
  106. <p>The front of the Galaxy A55 5G also gets an upgrade to the newer, tougher Gorilla Glass Victus+ (up from GG5). You still get the same IP67 water and dust resistance as before, but that remains a solid mid-range spec.</p>
  107.  
  108.  
  109.  
  110. <p>The Galaxy A55 5G&rsquo;s step-up in materials does come at the cost of increased weight. We already found the Galaxy A54 5G to be somewhat unwieldy at 209g, and the A55 5G adds another 4g on top of that. The newer phone is also slightly taller and wider, thanks to its larger display so bare this in mind.</p>

  146. <p>With more severe edges and a larger footprint, as well as the switch to a metal frame, the Galaxy A55 5G is a less comfortable phone to hold than its predecessor. However, it undoubtedly feels like it&rsquo;s taken a large step towards flagship territory, which is impressive given the cheaper price tag.</p>
  147.  
  148.  
  149.  
  150. <p>I&rsquo;m reviewing the Awesome Iceblue option, which most people would simply call white. You can also get the Galaxy A55 in Awesome Navy, Awesome Lilac, and Awesome Yellow. Which is&hellip; awesome.</p>

  172. <p>After decreasing the size of the Galaxy A54 54G&rsquo;s display ever so slightly to 6.4in, Samsung has cranked things right up to 6.6in with the Galaxy A55 5G.</p>
  173.  
  174.  
  175.  
  176. <p>Other than an increased canvas, this is otherwise a nigh-on identical screen specification, with a 1080 x 2340 (Full HD+) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It even gets to the same 1000 nit brightness, when exposed to bright ambient lighting and with autobrightness left on.</p>
  177.  
  178.  
  179.  
  180. <p>You&rsquo;ll want to make sure you do that, too, as I only measured the brightness as barely scraping to 400 nits with autobrightness off. That&rsquo;s fine for indoor usage, but won&rsquo;t stand up to even a British summer&rsquo;s day.</p>

  224. <p>Using this more muted display mode, I recorded a 99.2% sRGB gamut coverage and an average Delta E of 1.72. That&rsquo;s decent, without ripping up any trees.</p>
  225.  
  226.  
  227.  
  228. <p>You don&rsquo;t get a 3.5mm headphone jack here, despite the size of the phone, but you do get decent clarity from its stereo speakers. There&rsquo;s the usual lack of bass, but you expect that from a mid-range phone.</p>

  286. <p>After last year&rsquo;s Galaxy A54 5G with its Exynos 1380 brought the mid-range series into smooth working order, the Galaxy A55 5G&rsquo;s Exynos 1480 chip allows it to stretch its legs.</p>
  287.  
  288.  
  289.  
  290. <p>This is a higher-clocked chip made using a more energy-efficient 4nm process, and it&rsquo;s backed by 8GB of RAM as standard. Benchmark results point to a healthy, if not huge improvement over the Galaxy A54 5G.</p>
  291.  
  292.  
  293.  
  294. <p>Compared to its contemporaries, the Galaxy A55 5G comfortably trumps the Nothing Phone (2a) and the Google Pixel 7a in our CPU benchmark tests, but falls a little short of both in GPU terms.</p>

  330. <p>This results in buttery smooth day to day performance, but also points to a phone that shouldn&rsquo;t be a primary pick if gaming is your priority. It&rsquo;ll run the likes of Wreckfest on High settings, but the frame rate will be far from flawless. You&rsquo;re probably better off playing such complex 3D fare at medium settings.</p>
  331.

  334. <p>You can select between 128- and 256GB of internal storage, and there&rsquo;s a microSD slot if you feel the need to expand the provision, though it&rsquo;ll take up one of the two SIM card slots.</p>
  335.  
  336.  
  337.  
  338. <p>As the name suggests, you can count on 5G connectivity where available, while the Galaxy A55 5G also supplies Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6, and NFC for mobile payments. It&rsquo;s all pretty up to date on the connectivity front for a mid-ranger.</p>

  404. <p>It should surprise no one that my impressions of the Galaxy A55 5G&rsquo;s photographic skills broadly fall in line with last year&rsquo;s model, even with the usual improvements to image processing that come with a new model. </p>
  405.  
  406.  
  407.  
  408. <p>That main camera does a lot of the heavy lifting here, turning out detailed images packed full of Samsung&rsquo;s customary colour &ndash;&nbsp;perhaps even too much for some tastes &ndash; when shooting in good lighting.</p>
  409.  
  410.  
  411.  
  412. <p>Night shots are less assured, with a hint of grain and softness, and I spotted a strange green visual artefact in one particular instance. They still look decent, but if you want truly strong night shots for less than &pound;500, look to the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1815934/google-pixel-7a-review-2.html">Pixel 7a</a>.</p>

  419.  
  420. <p>The A55&rsquo;s 12Mp ultra-wide is nice to have for those landscape shot situations, but the fall-off in quality and inconsistency in tone compared to the main sensor is quite pronounced.</p>
  421.  
  422.  
  423.  
  424. <p>Samsung goes a little further than most with its 5Mp macro camera, producing passable close-up shots. But it&rsquo;s still a superfluous addition, and I prefer the no-nonsense dual-lens approach taken by the Nothing Phone (2a) and Pixel 7a.</p>
  425.  
  426.  
  427.  
  428. <p>As that suggests, there&rsquo;s no dedicated telephoto here, but 2x shots look pretty solid thanks to that solid main sensor and Samsung&rsquo;s reliable cropping system. You&rsquo;ll be dicing with increasing amounts of blur as you stray into 4x and 10x territory, though.</p>

  434.  
  435.  
  436. <p>Once again, Samsung&rsquo;s 32Mp front camera does a bang up job with selfies. Skin tones are natural, subject definition is good, and there&rsquo;s a nice degree of background blur even without the portrait mode activated.</p>
  437.  
  438.  
  439.  
  440. <p>It has a slightly wider field of view than many, which is a better pick for group shots, with the default view cropping in for a more regular close-up without a noticeable drop off in detail.</p>
  441.  
  442.  
  443.  
  444. <p>Video recording is decent, stretching to 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps. The provision of OIS keeps things suitably steady.</p>

  474. <p>In practical use, I found the Galaxy A55 5G&rsquo;s stamina to be strong. On a 15 hour day with 4 hours 30 minutes of screen on time &ndash; what you might term moderate usage &ndash;&nbsp;it fell to just 63%. On an especially intense day of 7 hours and 50 minutes screen on time, the Galaxy A55 5G still got through to bedtime with 22% remaining.</p>

  514. <p>Meanwhile, a PC Mark Work 3.0 battery score of 12 hours and 26 minutes falls several hours behind the Nothing Phone (2a), but comfortably beats the likes of the Pixel 7a and the Motorola Edge 40 Neo.</p>
  515.  
  516.  
  517.  
  518. <p>If there&rsquo;s one weakness here, it&rsquo;s that Samsung persists in supporting a pretty mediocre charging speed. At just 25W, you&rsquo;ll only get to just over half a tankful from empty in 30 minutes of charging. The Nothing Phone (2a) supports 45W, while the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G supports a whopping 120W,&nbsp;and the latter also gives you that speedy charger in the box.</p>
  519.  
  520.  
  521.  
  522. <p>There&rsquo;s no wireless charging provision here, which isn&rsquo;t too surprising. You can pick up a Pixel 7a with this feature for similar money, but it&rsquo;s something of a mid-range outlier.</p>

  636. <p>Samsung is selling the Galaxy A55 5G in two storage variants from <a href="https://shop-links.co/link/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fuk%2Fsmartphones%2Fgalaxy-a%2Fgalaxy-a55-5g-awesome-iceblue-128gb-sm-a556blbaeub%2Fbuy%2F&amp;publisher_slug=techadvisor&amp;exclusive=1&amp;article_name=techadvisor&amp;article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techadvisor.com%2Ffeed&amp;u1=4-1-2320377-1-0-0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">its website</a> here in the UK.

  641.  
  642.  
  643.  
  644. <p>That &pound;439 starting price makes the Galaxy A55 5G &pound;10 cheaper than last year&rsquo;s Galaxy A54 5G. We haven&rsquo;t been too accustomed to seeing anything get cheaper in recent years, let alone a popular smartphone range, so this is welcome news.</p>
  645.  
  646.  
  647.  
  648. <p>Even so, I&rsquo;m hesitant to label the Galaxy A55 5G a bargain. Not when the Nothing Phone (2a) can be had for &pound;319 and the Motorola Edge 40 Neo for &pound;300 or less.</p>
  649.  
  650.  
  651.  
  652. <p>One negative is the fact that the Galaxy A55 5G doesn&rsquo;t appear to be bound for US shores. Only the <a href="https://shop-links.co/link/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fmobile%2Fphones%2Fgalaxy-a%2F&amp;publisher_slug=techadvisor&amp;exclusive=1&amp;article_name=techadvisor&amp;article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techadvisor.com%2Ffeed&amp;u1=4-1-2320377-1-0-0" rel="nofollow">Galaxy A35 5G is headed stateside</a> at the time of writing for $399. It&rsquo;s not too dissimilar, but is still an inferior product with a cheaper build, inferior performance, and a lesser camera set-up.</p>

  661.  
  662.  
  663.  
  664. <p>Samsung has taken the good work done with the Galaxy A54 5G, and thoughtfully built upon it. This is another all-round capable mid-ranger with a much improved build, a larger display, and faster performance.</p>
  665.  
  666.  
  667.  
  668. <p>While it would have been nice to see some more improvements in the camera and display departments, these were solid components last time around, and remain so in 2024. Given that the phone costs a little less than its predecessor, it would feel churlish to complain too much, though cheaper rivals such as the Nothing Phone (2a) and the Motorola Edge 40 Neo mean that I still wouldn&rsquo;t call it a full-on bargain.</p>
  669.  
  670.  
  671.  
  672. <p>Samsung could still do with improving its charging speeds, especially compared to some of its mid-range rivals, and the Galaxy A55 5G is bigger and bulkier than ever. However, it remains an easy recommendation for anyone with less than &pound;450 to burn on a smartphone.</p>

  771.  
  772.  
  773. <p>Which is the best robot vacuum to buy? This guide features our expert recommendations, so you can find the one that best suits your home and your budget.</p>
  774.  
  775.  
  776.  
  777. <p>If you&rsquo;ve never had a robot vacuum cleaner, you&rsquo;ll be surprised at how much difference they can make in daily home maintenance. A Roomba or other robot vac can do everything from taking over your daily clean to regularly targeting especially grimy spots, like under a kitchen table or around a litter tray. </p>
  778.  
  779.  
  780.  
  781. <p>And, if you opt for a self-emptying robot vacuum, you can set a vacuuming schedule and forget about it for a few weeks, while your robot takes over and you come home to shiny floors. This is typically an expensive feature but we can recommend a couple of more budget-friendly options, which you&rsquo;ll see in the round-up below. </p>
  782.  
  783.  
  784.  
  785. <p>There are other features you might want to consider, like voice command control and obstacle avoidance technology. Some robot vacuums can now identify and avoid all kinds of common household objects, from shoes to cables to mugs &ndash; and even pet waste. Plus, most will let you zone no-go areas that the robot will avoid, if parts of the house aren&rsquo;t ready for a clean. </p>
  786.  
  787.  
  788.  
  789. <p><strong>Why you should trust us:</strong> Tech Advisor has been testing technology for almost 30 years and we specialise in providing buying advice. We&rsquo;ve reviewed dozens of robot vacuums over the years from many different brands. All our in-house team and freelance contributors have specialist knowledge and are trained in rigorously testing devices.</p>
  790.  
  791.  
  792.  
  793. <p>Our full reviews accompanying every robot vac in the following chart will give you all the details you need to find the right one for you. Plus, you&rsquo;ll be able to see the pros and cons of each model at a glance.</p>
  794.

  897. <p>The X10 Pro Omni has one of the best feature sets around &ndash; and it costs significantly less than similarly performing robots from rival brands. It vacuums and mops to a high standard: it has a powerful 8000Pa of suction and its rotating mop pads provide enough pressure to properly clean a floor.</p>
  898.  
  899. <p>It&rsquo;s also self-emptying and it&rsquo;ll wash and dry its mop pads when it returns to its station. It has carpet detection as well, so it can raise its mop pads over lower-pile carpet or avoid carpet altogether.</p>
  900.  
  901. <p>The app is easy to use, allows for multiple maps and lets you precisely schedule cleaning with tailored programmes for specific rooms. </p>
  902.  
  903. <p>We were most impressed with its AI.See navigation, object detection and avoidance: if it spots a cable on the floor, it&rsquo;ll not only avoid it but add a cable icon to the map in the right spot.</p>

  988. <p>If you want a multi-functional robot vacuum &ndash; high-quality mapping, decent mopping, self-emptying &ndash; it can be a pricey proposition but this is one of the best you can buy for under $500/&pound;500. And that&rsquo;s with the auto-empty station included. </p>
  989.  
  990. <p>It&rsquo;s low profile, at 9.5cm high, giving it a good chance of getting under beds and sofas. It has a 270ml water tank and a 335ml dustbin &ndash; the latter is on the small side but this won&rsquo;t matter if you have the vacuum station, which contains a 2.5 litre bag that you&rsquo;ll only need to change every month or two. </p>
  991.  
  992. <p>In our test, its mapping was quick and accurate and, once your home is mapped, you can schedule cleaning with specifications for each room, or set it off to clean a room where&rsquo;s there&rsquo;s been a spill. It&rsquo;s good on carpets as well as hard flooring and it&rsquo;s especially good on pet hair, although we did find that some still tangled in the brush. It&rsquo;s also compatible with Google and Alexa home assistants, so you can start it with a voice command.</p>
  993.  
  994. <p>Its navigation is dependable as well &ndash; but it does have a blind spot where low objects and cables are concerned. Its mopping is pretty decent as well, although not as powerful as pricier models that use spinning mops. Altogether, it&rsquo;s a very good buy  </p>

  1090. <p>Ecovacs&rsquo; flagship Deebot X2 Omni has a compact, square design that&rsquo;ll allow it to get right up to walls and into tighter spots for more comprehensive cleaning. </p>
  1091.  
  1092. <p>But it&rsquo;s not just its shape that&rsquo;s had an overall. We think it&rsquo;s a definite improvement on its predecessor in terms of features and performance. In our test, it cleaned carpets thoroughly and reliably thanks to its high, 8,000Pa suction. Its mopping is also very good, although not flawless. And its carpet detection means that carpets will get a thorough clean while being protected from damp mop pads.</p>
  1093.  
  1094. <p>It&rsquo;s pricey, but if you want the most comprehensive and advanced robot vacuum available right now, this is probably the one to buy.</p>

  1190. <p>If your home aesthetics are important, you probably don&rsquo;t want a huge, featureless chunk of plastic standing against your wall. And, as robot vacuum docks have become larger to accommodate dustbin-emptying and mopping accessories, that&rsquo;s become increasingly difficult to avoid. Enter the iRobot Roomba Combo J9+. Its admittedly chunky charging base has a bevelled design and a wood-effect panel on top designed to support a plant or ornament. Altogether, it&rsquo;s more like a piece of furniture than rival models.</p>
  1191.  
  1192. <p>The robot has plenty of other good features as well. It&rsquo;s iRobot&rsquo;s most powerful vacuum yet and its mop can scrub away stains effectively, rather than wetly dabbing them. The robot mops using an arm that retracts to protect carpet. It also has effective object detection and can avoid a number of common household objects, including pet poop.</p>
  1193.  
  1194. <p>Still, it&rsquo;s pricey and we feel that the app could be streamlined and made simpler to use. </p>

  1294. <p>At around half the size of a standard robot vacuum, the K10+ can reach spots other robots can&rsquo;t &ndash; and it&rsquo;ll take up less space than bulkier rivals. That&rsquo;s despite the fact that it comes with an auto-empty dock, which will give you up to 70 days of hands-free cleaning. The K10+ also mops but it can&rsquo;t mop and vacuum at the same time. But there&rsquo;s no water tank onboard, so mopping means attaching a wet wipe to the robot, which will only give your floors a gentle clean.</p>
  1295.  
  1296. <p>We found the navigation and mapping to be good, plus it has a comfortable 2500Pa of suction and a quiet 48dB operational noise. Altogether, it&rsquo;s a solid robot whose diminutive size makes it stand out from the crowd. It&rsquo;s good value for its price as well.  </p>

  1394. <p>If you want an auto-empty robot vacuum but want to stick to a budget, the D10 Plus is a serious contender. The 2.5 litre bag inside the charging station will only need to be changed every month or two. When coupled with its high quality mapping, this is a robot vacuum that you can schedule to clean and forget about.</p>
  1395.  
  1396. <p>The D10 Plus has very powerful 4,000PA suction in its turbo mode, but in our test, we found that its quiet, standard mode was more than good enough for hard flooring. If your flooring is mixed, you can switch on the carpet detect function and it&rsquo;ll automatically increase the power on carpets and rugs. It also has a decent mopping function, although, like many competitors, it&rsquo;s water-only and won&rsquo;t clean away stubborn stains. </p>
  1397.  
  1398. <p>It can create multiple maps for different floors and is Alexa and Google Assistant-compatible if you&rsquo;d like to control it with voice commands.</p>

  1496. <p>There&rsquo;s a lot to like about the Roomba i7+. Buy it with the vacuum dock and it&rsquo;ll empty itself after each clean. And you&rsquo;ll only need to change the bag in the dock every 1-2 months. And the dock itself is smaller than rival auto-empty robot vacuums.</p>
  1497.  
  1498. <p>Another clever feature is its mapping, which allows you to target not only rooms but specific pieces of furniture within them.</p>
  1499.  
  1500. <p>This means that you can set up a cleaning schedule to target the cat litter (which you can opt to mark up) first thing every morning, or get the i7+ to vacuum under the sofa in the living room once everyone has gone to bed.</p>
  1501.  
  1502. <p>However, it&rsquo;s not without its flaws. It&rsquo;s noisy in operation and in spite of its promises of sophisticated navigation, it repeatedly bumps into furniture. Still, now that the price has come down, we think these compromises are worth it. </p>

  1598. <p>Now that the price has come down, this is a great value way to get self-emptying technology for less. Bear in mind, though, that it doesn&rsquo;t have the advanced mopping features of pricier models.</p>
  1599.  
  1600. <p>If you go for the N8+, you&rsquo;ll get impressive suction, acceptable mopping and a brilliant mapping system that&rsquo;ll allow you to set up sophisticated cleaning schedules, with no-go areas marked up. Its carpet auto-detection means it&rsquo;ll automatically ramp up the power when it encounters a rug or carpet, saving power for when it needs it.</p>

  1794. <p>There&rsquo;s a lot to like about the Miele Scout RX3. Its hardware is beautifully designed and it&rsquo;s intended to last for five years &ndash; a long time in robot vacuum terms. It&rsquo;s also a highly effective cleaner.</p>
  1795.  
  1796. <p>However, we didn&rsquo;t love the fact that it communicates via error message codes you need to decipher, when many rivals at a similar price point have a voice assistant that just lets you know what the problem is. It also lacks the in-depth mapping that rivals iRobot and Ecovacs have, which allows you to target cleaning to specific pieces of furniture in a room.</p>
  1797.  
  1798. <p>It has a simple app and is Alexa-compatible as well. We tested the flagship Home Vision HD model, which you can pilot remotely to check in on your home and your pets using its onboard camera.</p>
  1799.  
  1800. <p>Altogether, we felt that its feature set was too limited to justify its high price point. Still, there&rsquo;s a case to be made for the fact that, if you&rsquo;re happy with a relatively simple robot vacuum, you can invest in this one and it will last you for years to come.  </p>

  1812. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="robot-vacuum-faqs-and-buying-advice">Robot vacuum FAQs and buying advice</h2>
  1813.  
  1814.  
  1815.  
  1816. <p>Robot vacuum cleaners aren&rsquo;t the cheapest appliance around but the tech is improving all the time, which means that as newer models gain fresh functionality, some really great models that are only a year old will have dropped significantly in price.</p>
  1817.  
  1818.  
  1819.  
  1820. <p>If you&rsquo;re planning to buy, it&rsquo;s a good idea to get an idea of what features are important to you and find the cleaner that best fits your profile. You may be able to spend less than you imagine to get everything you want.</p>
  1821.  
  1822.  
  1823.  
  1824. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-does-a-robot-vacuum-work">How does a robot vacuum work?</h3>
  1825.  
  1826.  
  1827.  
  1828. <p>Robot vacs work exactly as you&rsquo;d imagine. On the underside of a robot vacuum is a suction aperture &ndash; just like the one you see on an ordinary vacuum. As the robot moves across the floor, it sucks up dust and dirt, just like an ordinary vacuum. Most have a brush bar inside to clean carpets and many feature spinning sweepers on either side, to pull debris into the robot&rsquo;s path.</p>
  1829.  
  1830.  
  1831.  
  1832. <p>When start your robot vacuum cleaner, one of two things may happen. Basic models will begin cleaning right away, following a set path across the room, in a similar pattern to the way that you&rsquo;d mow a lawn. </p>
  1833.  
  1834.  
  1835.  
  1836. <p>More advanced robot vacuums will probably map out the cleaning area first. That doesn&rsquo;t mean only the room they&rsquo;re in &ndash; they&rsquo;ll map the entire floor before starting cleaning. You&rsquo;ll then be able to see the map of your home it&rsquo;s created in the accompanying app and, in most cases, edit it.</p>
  1837.  
  1838.  
  1839.  
  1840. <p>Robot vacuums are usually controlled by a free to download and use app, possibly a remote control and many also via your home assistant &ndash; letting you use simple voice commands. </p>
  1841.  
  1842.  
  1843.  
  1844. <p>Usually voice commands will be limited to asking it to start, pause, stop and return to the dock. However, the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723240/ecovacs-deebot-x1-omni-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723240/ecovacs-deebot-x1-omni-review.html" target="_blank">Ecovacs Deebot X1 OMNI</a> has an inbuilt voice assistant that will respond to around 35 commands.</p>
  1845.  
  1846.  
  1847.  
  1848. <p>But you should also bear in mind that the robot vac will need to communicate with you, especially if something goes wrong. Some will have a display that brings up error messages, while others will speak to let you know that they&rsquo;re starting to clean, returning to the dock, or have had to pause because they&rsquo;ve ingested a sock.</p>
  1849.  
  1850.  
  1851.  
  1852. <p>Via the app, you&rsquo;ll also get messages and alerts, so if you&rsquo;re away from home, you&rsquo;ll know if your cleaner got tangled up with a cable or if it made it back to the dock to charge.</p>
  1853.  
  1854.  
  1855.  
  1856. <p>As well as giving you updates, letting you check in on progress in real time and allowing you to schedule cleaning, a good app will give you information on how long parts, including brushes and filters, will last before they need to be replaced. &nbsp;</p>
  1857.  
  1858.  
  1859.  
  1860. <p>As we said above, the app is also where you&rsquo;ll find the map of your home.</p>
  1861.  
  1862.  
  1863.  
  1864. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-does-a-robot-vacuum-map-a-room">How does a robot vacuum map a room?</h3>
  1865.  
  1866.  
  1867.  
  1868. <p>One of the most important features of a robot vacuum cleaner is the ability to map boundaries. Less expensive or older cleaners may come with magnetic strips or battery-operated towers you can use to keep your robot vac away from the top of the stairs or block off a room you don&rsquo;t want cleaned (for example, if you don&rsquo;t have time to pick up your clothes from the bedroom floor but you&rsquo;d still like to give the sitting room a once-over).</p>
  1869.  
  1870.  
  1871.  
  1872. <p>But most robots will create a very detailed and accurate map of your home which you can access in the app. Many will have space for more than one map, so you can save maps of each floor. You&rsquo;ll be able to go into your app and add exclusion zones which they&rsquo;ll then avoid. </p>
  1873.  
  1874.  
  1875.  
  1876. <p>Very advanced cleaners with mop capabilities will also let you zone areas for mopping as well. Finally, newer robot vacuums from iRobot (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723267/irobot-roomba-i7-automatic-dirt-disposal-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723267/irobot-roomba-i7-automatic-dirt-disposal-review.html" target="_blank">the Roomba i7+</a>) and Ecovacs (<a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723240/ecovacs-deebot-x1-omni-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723240/ecovacs-deebot-x1-omni-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X1 OMNI</a>) will allow you to add pieces of furniture to maps, which you can then target for cleaning. This gives you the option to request a clean where there&rsquo;s been a spill or, for example, schedule a regular clean around the kitchen table after dinner.</p>
  1877.  
  1878.  
  1879.  
  1880. <p>The best robot cleaners will also use cameras to help them identify and avoid obstacles such as shoes, cables and even pet waste.</p>
  1881.  
  1882.  
  1883.  
  1884. <p>Some cleaners with cameras will also let you use them remotely, via your app. This means you can use your robot vac as an additional home security device. And if you use it in conjunction with your app&rsquo;s remote control, you can drive your vac around to check up on your pets while you&rsquo;re out.</p>
  1885.  
  1886.  
  1887.  
  1888. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="can-robot-vacuums-clean-carpet">Can robot vacuums clean carpet?</h3>
  1889.  
  1890.  
  1891.  
  1892. <p>The answer, in short, is yes. But it depends on which robot vacuum you buy. And you&rsquo;ll still need to keep an ordinary vacuum around for deep cleaning and spills.</p>
  1893.  
  1894.  
  1895.  
  1896. <p>Suction power (measured in Pascals &ndash; Pa) is getting better all the time. If you have hard flooring, a less expensive cleaner will do the job but if you have thicker carpets, it&rsquo;s worth your while investing in something with very good cleaning power. The most powerful robot vacuums at this time can go up to 5,000Pa of suction &ndash; but this will likely be in boost or turbo mode and you won&rsquo;t need anything like this much power to clean hard flooring. </p>
  1897.  
  1898.  
  1899.  
  1900. <p>The cheapest robot cleaners may not have a rotating brush bar, which means they won&rsquo;t be brilliant at cleaning carpets but they&rsquo;ll do a decent job on a hard floor. A good one will have a full-length rotating brush, making it ideal for picking up hair and fluff on carpets and from the edges of the room.</p>
  1901.  
  1902.  
  1903.  
  1904. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="will-a-robot-vacuum-go-under-the-couch">Will a robot vacuum go under the couch?</h3>
  1905.  
  1906.  
  1907.  
  1908. <p>Before you invest in a robot vac, it&rsquo;s a good idea to measure the distance from the floor to the underside of your sofa and other key pieces of furniture.</p>
  1909.  
  1910.  
  1911.  
  1912. <p>Robot vacuums can vary in height between 7cm (very low profile), 10cm (medium profile) and 12cm (high &ndash; the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/721818/dyson-360-heurist-robot-vacuum-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/721818/dyson-360-heurist-robot-vacuum-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dyson 360 Heurist</a> is the tallest we&rsquo;ve seen). If your robot vac can&rsquo;t get under your sofa and bed, it can make a big difference to its overall usefulness in your life. And it&rsquo;ll be even worse if it can just make it under &ndash; but then gets stuck.</p>
  1913.  
  1914.  
  1915.  
  1916. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="can-a-robot-vacuum-replace-a-normal-vacuum-cleaner">Can a robot vacuum replace a normal vacuum cleaner?</h3>
  1917.  
  1918.  
  1919.  
  1920. <p>The answer to this is the same as to another frequently asked question: Can robot vacuums clean stairs? Sadly, no, they can&rsquo;t. </p>
  1921.  
  1922.  
  1923.  
  1924. <p>A robot vacuum can&rsquo;t clean stairs &ndash; but it won&rsquo;t fall down them either, because it features a variety of sensors. In this case, a drop sensor will stop it before it gets in trouble and it&rsquo;ll turn around. </p>
  1925.  
  1926.  
  1927.  
  1928. <p>So, you&rsquo;ll need to keep a regular vacuum cleaner to hand for stairs, deep cleaning and getting into corners, awkward gaps and under very low furniture. </p>
  1929.  
  1930.  
  1931.  
  1932. <p>Still, a robot vacuum will take over most of your regular vacuuming &ndash; especially in the most well-travelled parts of your home. But it can&rsquo;t do everything.</p>
  1933.  
  1934.  
  1935.  
  1936. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="are-robot-vacuum-mops-any-good">Are robot vacuum mops any good?</h3>
  1937.  
  1938.  
  1939.  
  1940. <p>There are separate, specialised robot mops but what we&rsquo;re talking about here are hybrid robot vacuums that have an inbuilt &ndash; or add-on &ndash; mop attachment. The traditional design for this is a plate that clips onto the back or underside of a robot vacuum, featuring a small water tank and mop pad. These will only provide a superficial clean. They&rsquo;re good for going over a just-vacuumed floor to give it a bit of a polish, but they don&rsquo;t usually apply enough pressure to scrub away stains.</p>
  1941.  
  1942.  
  1943.  
  1944. <p>The best types of robot vacuum mops are the newer design, which typically feature a pair of spinning mopping heads. These provide a much deeper clean.</p>
  1945.  
  1946.  
  1947.  
  1948. <p>Generally, robot vacuums don&rsquo;t use detergent to mop, just cool or warm water.</p>
  1949.  
  1950.  
  1951.  
  1952. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-often-do-you-have-to-empty-a-robot-vacuums-dustbin">How often do you have to empty a robot vacuum&rsquo;s dustbin? </h3>
  1953.  
  1954.  
  1955.  
  1956. <p>Most robot vacuums have a similar &ndash; and very small &ndash; dustbin capacity, which means you&rsquo;ll need to remember to empty them regularly. It depends on how often you run them and how much dust and fluff there is to be picked up, but you should empty out the bin at least once a week and you may have to do it more often. </p>
  1957.  
  1958.  
  1959.  
  1960. <p>The most expensive cleaners will have cylindrical (or cyclonic) drums that offer very good suction no matter how full the dustbin is, but many will become less effective the fuller they get.</p>
  1961.  
  1962.  
  1963.  
  1964. <p>If you want to schedule cleaning and forget about it, without needing to remember to empty the bin every few days, go for a self-emptying robot vacuum. </p>
  1965.  
  1966.  
  1967.  
  1968. <p>Auto-empty robot vacuums come with a much larger charging station. When the robot vacuum return to recharge, its onboard bin is emptied by suction. Typically, the bag inside the dock will be 2.5-3 litres and will need to be changed every 1-2 months. These are also a good option for people with hay fever or allergies, as it means you won&rsquo;t need to come into contact with dust and dirt emptying the bin.</p>

With its suction power increased to 11,000Pa and the new extendable mop arm, it ensures good cleaning results all round and doesn&rsquo;t let pet hair or obstacles stop it from doing its job.<br><br>The new design is also advantageous. The fresh and dirty water tanks are now located on the base station and can be easily removed. They&rsquo;re also flatter and therefore fit better under a tap.</p>

  2270. <p>Note: There is also the T30 Omni model without the &ldquo;Pro&rdquo; in the name. It is slightly cheaper and does not have the Yiko voice control and intelligent dust detection. The model is also only available in black. The other features are identical. This is the model available in the UK, which we&rsquo;ve provided links to in this article. </p>

  2278. <p>As you&rsquo;d expect, the Deebot T30 Pro Omni also comes in a large package, which at 44 &times; 47 &times; 76cm is bigger than the boot of many small cars. The combination of docking station and robot vacuum weighs in at around 18kg.</p>

  2314. <p>Compared to its predecessor, the T20 Pro Omni, the base station is slightly more compact and it&rsquo;s also smaller than the X2 Omni, measuring 43 &times; 40 &times; 48, compared to 43 &times; 45 &times; 58cm (W&times;D&times;H respectively).</p>

  2394. <p>There are two important things to consider when choosing the installation location: a power connection is required and the base station must be easily accessible from above so that the two water tanks for fresh and dirty water can be removed. While the water tank is the same size as its predecessor at 4L, the dirty water tank only holds 3.5 litres, 500ml less.</p>

  2400.  
  2401.  
  2402. <p>The set-up works in the usual way for Ecovacs devices: the Deebot T30 Pro Omni is added as a new device in the Ecovacs app using the QR code that can be found under the decorative plate on the robot.</p>
  2403.  
  2404.  
  2405.  
  2406. <p>Some additional functions can be used when the device is connected to an existing Wi-Fi network. These include, for example, access to the robot from anywhere via the Ecovacs cloud or voice control using Yiko, Alexa or Google Assistant. During setup, we received a firmware update to version 1.55.0. New updates can also be installed automatically when they are available &ndash; between 00:00 and 6:00am.</p>
  2407.  
  2408.  
  2409.  
  2410. <p>The default settings in the app are usable. You can change them at any time. The app itself is easy to understand and mostly intuitive to use. First, you should carry out the mapping. The Deebot T30 Omni Pro does this automatically. It scans the rooms and its TrueMapping 2.0 laser system detects walls, edges and obstacles.</p>

  2449.  
  2450. <p>The app is well designed, but detailed. You should take some time to explore the settings and customise the robot to your own environment. For example, you can name rooms on the map, define restricted zones and mark objects. You receive status messages on your smartphone or via voice output so that you can react immediately.</p>

  2494. <p>The Deebot T30 Pro Omni has three control buttons on the top in front of the laser tower. You can use the Home button to send the robot back to its base station. With the Spot Clean button, you can make the T30 Pro Omni clean a small area exactly where you have placed it. There&rsquo;s also an on/off switch.</p>
  2495.  
  2496.  
  2497.  
  2498. <p>The Ecovacs robot gets to work with a loud noise. According to the manufacturer, it can reach up to 65 decibels &ndash; that&rsquo;s as much as a normal vacuum or a hair dryer. But you don&rsquo;t have to cover your ears all the time. The Deebot T30 Pro Omni is at its loudest when it is cleaning and drying the mops.</p>
  2499.  
  2500.  
  2501.  
  2502. <p>The robot does not have its own water tank, which is why it has to return to the station every few minutes. There, the mops are cleaned and moistened with water heated to 70&deg;C (T20: 55&deg;C). This removes stubborn dirt. This can be clearly seen from the residue in the base station&rsquo;s dirty water tank.</p>

  2538. <p>A small drawback: the T30 Pro Omni does not have a detergent additive or a separate tank for one, as is the case with the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2057390/dreamebot-l20-ultra-review.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2057390/dreamebot-l20-ultra-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dreame L20 Ultra</a>. You have to dose a cleaning solution yourself and add it to the fresh water.</p>
  2539.  
  2540.  
  2541.  
  2542. <p>What was used for the first time on the X2 Omni and is increasingly becoming standard across rivals is the extendable mopping arm on one side of the T30 Pro Omni. This enables better cleaning results and gets closer to edges.</p>
  2543.  
  2544.  
  2545.  
  2546. <p>Ecovacs relies on TruEdge, an innovative function of the Deebot T30 Pro Omni. The robot travels an additional path along the edges when mopping, ensuring better cleaning of corners and edges that are often difficult to reach.</p>

  2582. <p>Using a laser and a camera to recognise obstacles, it measures the distance with LIDAR. The navigation worked well in our test.</p>
  2583.  
  2584.  
  2585.  
  2586. <p>On tiled floors, the T30 Pro Omni does a good job of vacuuming and mopping. Dirt, dust and the white hair from Pointer-Dalmatian mix Eddy land in the robot&rsquo;s collection bin. It is a little small, so it has to be emptied in the base station very often.  </p>
  2587.  
  2588.  
  2589.  
  2590. <p>The Deebot T30 Pro Omni can lift its mops to remove dirt from carpets. This is a real challenge for many robot vacuums. The Ecovacs device stops mopping when a carpet is detected and increases the suction power.</p>
  2591.  
  2592.  
  2593.  
  2594. <p>Like its predecessors and competitor products, the robot can&rsquo;t quite make it over a door threshold in our home that is around 2.5cm high &ndash; others of 1.5cm are no problem. The Deebot T30 Omni Pro recognises a downward staircase and brakes in good time.</p>
  2595.  
  2596.  
  2597.  
  2598. <p>Speed is less important, as the vacuum-mopping robot can clean the home during the day when nobody is around. It took the T30 Pro Omni just under 55 minutes to clean our 34 square metres of tiled floor.</p>
  2599.  
  2600.  
  2601.  
  2602. <p>As soon as the robot has finished its work, the suction station takes care of the cleaning. The robot docks onto the station, where its dust container is emptied, the mops are washed with hot water (70&deg;C) and then dried with hot air. This prevents bad odours and ensures optimum hygiene.</p>

This is obviously a lot to spend but it&rsquo;s comfortably less than the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2143690/dyson-360-vis-nav-review-2.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2143690/dyson-360-vis-nav-review-2.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dyson 360 Vis Nav</a>, which has a far more limited feature set. </p>

  2614. <p>For our money, Ecovacs makes some of the best high-end robot vacuums available. If the T30 Pro Omni is within budget, you&rsquo;re unlikely to be disappointed. Still, if you&rsquo;re looking for a similar feature set for a lower price, have a look at <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2318366/eufy-x10-pro-omni-robot-vacuum-and-mop-review.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2318366/eufy-x10-pro-omni-robot-vacuum-and-mop-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">our review of the excellent X10 Pro Omni</a>, which is &pound;200 less.</p>

  2630. <p>The Deebot T30Pro Omni removes Eddy&rsquo;s dog hair and other dirt that has accumulated on our slates and parquet floors. It also mops the floor. It&rsquo;s amazing how much dirty water ends up in the base station bin.</p>
  2631.  
  2632.  
  2633.  
  2634. <p>The robot gets close to edges and walls. It barely leaves a visible edge. It reliably and safely avoids most obstacles. Furniture, children and pets are all safe.</p>
  2635.  
  2636.  
  2637.  
  2638. <p>The Deebot T30 Pro Omni can also handle carpets &ndash; as long as the pile is not too deep. It automatically lifts the two mops when it recognises carpet. For unsuitable carpets, you should set up an exclusion zone or activate the &ldquo;Avoid carpets&rdquo; option in the settings.</p>

  2733.  
  2734.  
  2735. <p>The 2023-24 Premier League is fast approaching its conclusion, but we still don&rsquo;t know who will win the title.</p>
  2736.  
  2737.  
  2738.  
  2739. <p>Champions Man City are the favourites, sitting just one point behind Man City but with a game in hand. The Gunners look stronger than last season, but may rely on arch rivals Tottenham getting a result against City to come out on top.</p>
  2740.  
  2741.  
  2742.  
  2743. <p>Behind them, Liverpool&rsquo;s patchy recent form means they&rsquo;re essentially out of contention, but they&rsquo;re highly likely to finish third. Aston Villa are well placed to secure an historic <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/727663/how-to-watch-champions-league-live.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/727663/how-to-watch-champions-league-live.html">Champions League</a> spot, though Tottenham aren&rsquo;t out of the race altogether.</p>
  2744.  
  2745.  
  2746.  
  2747. <p>At the other end, Sheffield United have already been relegated. Two of the three teams above them &ndash; Burnley,  Luton and Nottingham Forest &ndash; will also go down, but it&rsquo;s anyone&rsquo;s guess as to who will survive.</p>
  2748.  
  2749.  
  2750.  
  2751. <p>With another crucial round of weekend matches upon us, here&rsquo;s how to watch the Premier League live, whether you&rsquo;re based in the UK, US or elsewhere.</p>

  2828.  
  2829.  
  2830.  
  2831. <p>In the UK, only 200 of the 380 games are shown live. Sky Sports has the majority of these, but there are also some on TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) and two full rounds of fixtures on Amazon Prime Video.</p>
  2832.  
  2833.  
  2834.  
  2835. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="sky-sports">Sky Sports</h3>
  2836.  
  2837.  
  2838.  
  2839. <p>You have several options when it comes to Sky Sports. The first is to get a <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11005&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.sky.com/tv/sports" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.sky.com/tv/sports" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TV package</a>, which starts at &pound;46 per month (&pound;26 per month Entertainment plan, &pound;20 for Sky Sports add-on) for 18 months.</p>
  2840.  
  2841.  
  2842.  
  2843. <p>If you don&rsquo;t mind paying a monthly subscription for your TV, <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/722787/sky-glass-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/722787/sky-glass-review.html">Sky Glass</a> is also worth considering. You can currently get a 43-inch TV (48-month contract) with Sky Sports, Sky Entertainment and Netflix (Standard with Ads) on an 18-month contract for <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11005&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.sky.com/glass/buy/personalise-sky-glass" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.sky.com/glass/buy/tv-packs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&pound;62 per month with &pound;10 upfront</a>.</p>
  2844.  
  2845.  
  2846.  
  2847. <p>Alternatively, you can add the functionality to your existing TV via <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2141497/sky-stream-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2141497/sky-stream-review.html">Sky Stream</a>. It starts at <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11005&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.sky.com/glass/buy/stream/tv-packs?irct=Stream-Sticky-Buy-UTV" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.sky.com/glass/buy/stream/tv-packs?irct=Stream-Sticky-Buy-UTV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&pound;43 per month</a> for an 18-month plan including Sky Entertainment, Netflix and Sky Sports.</p>
  2848.  
  2849.  
  2850.  
  2851. <p>All of the above include access on your phone, tablet and/or laptop via Sky Go.</p>
  2852.  
  2853.  
  2854.  
  2855. <p>That doesn&rsquo;t apply to Sky&rsquo;s Now streaming service, but it&rsquo;s a more affordable option. A <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.nowtv.com/sports-purchase&amp;xcust=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.nowtv.com/sports-purchase" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Now Sports membership</a> (including all 11 Sky Sports channels) costs &pound;34.99 per month at full price, but there are often deals available.</p>
  2856.  
  2857.  
  2858.  
  2859. <p>You may also want to add <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.nowtv.com/boost&amp;xcust=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/article/728667/how-to-watch-the-premier-league-live.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Now Boost</a>, which adds 1080p video (rather than the usual 720p), removes ads and lets you stream on up to three devices at the same time (instead of the usual one). After a one-month free trial, it costs &pound;6 per month extra.</p>
  2860.  
  2861.  
  2862.  
  2863. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="tnt-sports">TNT Sports</h3>
  2864.  
  2865.  
  2866.  
  2867. <p>BT Sport has been rebranded as TNT Sports, but not much has changed in terms of the plans available.</p>
  2868.  
  2869.  
  2870.  
  2871. <p>At full price, the cheapest package costs <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=3041&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&pound;20 per month</a> on a monthly rolling contract, though you&rsquo;re limited to the discovery+ app. However it also includes Eurosport 1 &amp; 2 and the discovery+ Premium streaming service. </p>
  2872.  
  2873.  
  2874.  
  2875. <p>But if you&rsquo;d rather stream all the action and don&rsquo;t want a recordable TV box, it makes more sense to simply add TNT Sports to discovery+. That costs &pound;20 per month for BT Broadband customers, but you&rsquo;ll need to get the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=3041&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.bt.com/sport/monthly-pass" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.bt.com/sport/monthly-pass" target="_blank">monthly pass</a> for &pound;30.99 per month otherwise.</p>
  2876.  
  2877.  
  2878.  
  2879. <p>And if you&rsquo;d like to <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=3041&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">combine TNT Sports with Sky Sports</a> (known as &lsquo;Big Sport&rsquo;), it&rsquo;ll cost you &pound;45 per month at full price.</p>
  2880.  
  2881.  
  2882.  
  2883. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="amazon-prime-video">Amazon Prime Video</h3>
  2884.  
  2885.  
  2886.  
  2887. <p>To access Prime Video&rsquo;s live games, you&rsquo;ll simply need to be subscribed to Amazon Prime in some capacity.</p>
  2888.  
  2889.  
  2890.  
  2891. <p>After a <a title="Amazon Prime" rel="nofollow" href="http://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=13303&amp;GR_URL=https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/offers/ref=nav_swm_dvm_crs_swm_uk_xs_s_dk_swm_eg_un?ie=UTF8&amp;asc_refurl=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" target="_blank">30-day free trial</a>, it costs &pound;8.99 per month or &pound;95 per year. But there are plenty of <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/726415/amazon-prime-cost-benefits-free-trial.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/726415/amazon-prime-cost-benefits-free-trial.html">other benefits</a>, including free next-day delivery on many items, unlimited photo storage and access to some music and games.</p>
  2892.  
  2893.  
  2894.  
  2895. <p>But if you don&rsquo;t think you&rsquo;ll use any of that, you can get just Prime Video for &pound;5.99 per month &ndash; just click &lsquo;See more plans&rsquo; from the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=13303&amp;GR_URL=https://www.amazon.co.uk/amazonprime?asc_refurl=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.amazon.co.uk/amazonprime" target="_blank">sign-up page</a>.</p>

  2900.  
  2901.  
  2902.  
  2903. <p>In the US, NBC has the exclusive English-language rights to the Champions League. All 380 matches are broadcast live, across the main NBC channels, NBC-owned USA Network and its streaming service Peacock.</p>
  2904.  
  2905.  
  2906.  
  2907. <p>Peacock has most of the games, and it&rsquo;s also the most affordable. It starts $5.99 per month/$59.99 per year for &lsquo;Premium&rsquo;, or $11.99 per month/$119.99 to step up to the ad-free &lsquo;Premium Plus&rsquo;. You can sign up for both on the <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.peacocktv.com/plans/all-monthly&amp;xcust=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.peacocktv.com/plans/all-monthly" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Peacock website</a>.</p>
  2908.  
  2909.  
  2910.  
  2911. <p>For NBC itself and USA Network, things are a little more complicated if you don&rsquo;t want to pay for cable. </p>
  2912.

  2915. <p>The most hassle-free way is to sign up for a live TV streaming services such as <a rel="nofollow" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/&amp;xcust=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/" target="_blank">YouTube TV</a> ($72.99 per month), <a rel="nofollow" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.sling.com/#services&amp;xcust=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.sling.com/#services" target="_blank">Sling TV</a> (requires $45 per month Sling Blue) or <a rel="nofollow" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.hulu.com/live-tv&amp;xcust=4-1-728667-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.hulu.com/live-tv" target="_blank">Hulu+ Live TV</a> ($76.99 per month).

  3122. <p>The X10 Pro Omni is Eufy&rsquo;s current flagship robot vacuum, with an impressive feature set. It does pretty much everything you&rsquo;d want a robot vacuum to do: vacuums, mops, empties itself and washes and dries its mop pads. And all this for less than similarly-specced models from rival brands. </p>
  3123.  
  3124.  
  3125.  
  3126. <p>But is it the well-priced all-rounder it initially appears to be?</p>
  3127.  
  3128.  
  3129.  
  3130. <p>Let&rsquo;s take a look. </p>
  3131.  
  3132.  
  3133.  
  3134. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="design-build">Design &amp; Build</h2>
  3135.  
  3136.  
  3137.  
  3138. <ul>
  3139. <li>3L water tanks</li>
  3140.  
  3141.  
  3142.  
  3143. <li>2.5L dust bag</li>
  3144.  
  3145.  
  3146.  
  3147. <li>One sweeping brush</li>
  3148. </ul>
  3149.  
  3150.  
  3151.  
  3152. <p>Dark and imposing, with deep tread tyres, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni looks like a robot vacuum and mop that means business, serious business. </p>
  3153.  
  3154.  
  3155.  
  3156. <p>The robot has a shell of black satin plastic with a LiDAR navigation tower and a trio of power buttons on the top, and a camera and LED lights on the front. The charging contacts, water injection point and dust collection port are at the back. The dustbin cartridge is under a flip-up lid on top.</p>
  3157.  
  3158.  
  3159.  
  3160. <p>Two of the three buttons have dual functions, so you can perform basic tasks without opening the app. You can switch it off and on, return the robot to the station and start a spot clean (as well as resetting the Wi-Fi connection and enabling or disabling the child safety lock).</p>
  3161.  
  3162.  
  3163.  
  3164. <p>The robot itself is a chunky bit of kit at 35 x 32cm (12.6 x 16.6in) with a low profile of 9cm/3.5in, so it should get under most pieces of furniture without problems. The deep tread tyres on the wheels make it seem like an off-road version of a typical domestic robot vacuum and have a touch of the monster truck about them. As our tests showed, the robot was easily able to tackle raised room thresholds. &nbsp;</p>
  3165.  
  3166.  
  3167.  
  3168. <p>There&rsquo;s only a single sweeping brush. The two detachable mopping pads are large, around 15cm in diameter.</p>
  3169.  
  3170.  
  3171.  
  3172. <p>The Omni station measures 46 x 36 x 22cm (18 x 14 x 8.7in) and is something of a domineering presence in a room. Once you fit the detachable base plate to the front, the footprint extends out to 48cm/18.9in &ndash; which means that you might want to place it in a utility or cloakroom, rather than a lounge or hallway.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
  3173.  
  3174.  
  3175.  
  3176. <p>The Omni station has two 3L tanks that slide into the station on the left, the dirty water tank behind the clean, and the dustbin on the right that fits a 2.5L dust bag. The 140cm power cable fits into the back, giving you a reasonable amount of leeway as to where you place it.</p>
  3177.

  3201.  
  3202. <p>Set-up is simple: unpack the robot, remove the protective coverings, fit the base plate to the station, and plug it in. You&rsquo;ll need to consider where to site the station because you need reasonable proximity to a plug point and viable distance from a wall, and once you run the mapping procedure, moving the station at a later point means you&rsquo;ll need to map again.</p>
  3203.  
  3204.  
  3205.  
  3206. <p>Then switch the X10 on, add water to the tank, let the robot charge, and download the Eufy Clean app. To connect, you need to switch on your smartphone&rsquo;s location, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. We found that it connected without much fuss at all and we were ready to go. The X10 Pro mapped the space quickly and accurately and made it over a 2cm threshold, where other robot vacuums have struggled. It also divided the space in a rational manner.</p>
  3207.  
  3208.  
  3209.  
  3210. <p>The home page of the Eufy Clean app provides three cleaning scenarios &ndash; Full Home Deep Clean, Full Home Daily Clean, Post-Meal Clean &ndash; and you can add a custom scenario.</p>
  3211.  
  3212.  
  3213.  
  3214. <p>In the custom scenario, you can select &ldquo;smart mode&rdquo;, which automatically selects a cleaning strategy based on the room type. You can choose a fast, standard, or deep cleaning intensity, whether you wish to vac, mop or just vac and mop, which level of suction you need, and the mopping level. You can also select edge-hugging mopping, which will make the robot twist when it mops close to the edges of a room so it can clean closer to the walls.</p>

  3223.  
  3224.  
  3225.  
  3226. <p>We found that the X10 Pro did a really good job of vacuuming. The dust bin filter will trap small particles, and we did notice lower levels of dust with repeated vacuuming sessions.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  3227.  
  3228.  
  3229.  
  3230. <p>When it came to the flour test, the Pro X10 needed two sweeps of the floor space on maximum suction to remove all of the flour. We thought this was pretty good, as it&rsquo;s a difficult task for a robot vacuum.</p>

  3239.  
  3240.  
  3241.  
  3242. <p>Naturally, there is real-time reporting via the smart map in the app, and one thing that impressed us was the object recognition feature. If the X10 Pro hit a stray cable, a little cable icon popped up on the map. You can also set the robot to take photos of the obstacles if you wish.</p>
  3243.  
  3244.  
  3245.  
  3246. <p>Vacuuming took about a minute for 9sqft, on average, so a 161sqft room would take 17 minutes. We found the X10 Pro took about one hour and twenty minutes to vacuum an entire floor of 527sqft.&nbsp;The noise levels are not particularly noticeable in use, even on maximum suction. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  3247.  
  3248.  
  3249.  
  3250. <p>Mopping is also rather impressive. The X10 spins its mops at 180rpm and uses 1kg downward pressure to clean the floor. At a high-water level, we found the floor was a damp-to-touch tack that was more evident than other robot mops we have tested. The mop pads only descend when when the device is actively mopping, and the robot returns to the Omni station to both wash the mop pads and dry with 45&deg;C heat. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

  3273.  
  3274.  
  3275.  
  3276. <p>The X10 allows you to choose multi-map saving, so you can map and store more than one floor map: a great option if you want to use the X10 Pro to clean on different floors.</p>
  3277.  
  3278.  
  3279.  
  3280. <p>You can adjust the settings for automatic mop washing, drying, and emptying. So you can set the Omni station to wash the mop every time it finishes a room, or after a certain period of time between 15 and 25 minutes. The drying sequence can be set for 2,3 or 4 hours, and you can set the robot to empty every 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.</p>
  3281.  
  3282.  
  3283.  
  3284. <p>If you don&rsquo;t want to wait, there&rsquo;s an option to empty the dust, or wash and dry the mop directly.</p>
  3285.  
  3286.  
  3287.  
  3288. <p>You can set a schedule for cleaning and programme a start time, on which days you wish the programme to run, and which part of the house you wish to clean and how. You also have a cleaning history that lists the date and time of your cleans, how much floor space was cleaned and how long it took.</p>
  3289.  
  3290.  
  3291.  
  3292. <p>If you have hard floor and carpet, you can set the robot to automatically lift the mop when it detects carpet or avoid the carpet all together.</p>
  3293.  
  3294.  
  3295.  
  3296. <p>There are also manual controls that enable you to personally direct the robot in real time, and you can turn the AI.See obstacle avoidance on or off and even set the robot to take photos of obstacles that it finds in your home &ndash; if you feel comfortable doing so. The data security of Eufy&rsquo;s robot vacuums has never been questioned but security vulnerabilities have been found Eufy&rsquo;s security cameras. In addition, Eufy does collect some data on its customers, so you may well prefer not to use this feature. &nbsp;</p>
  3297.  
  3298.  
  3299.  
  3300. <p>The X10 Pro also boasts smart tracking. Once activated, you press the front bumper with your foot for three seconds and it will follow you while you walk, cleaning every step of the way.</p>
  3301.  
  3302.  
  3303.  
  3304. <p>In the app, there are also the usual &ldquo;do not disturb&rdquo; and child lock settings, and an accessory services page that gives you the remaining life of your side brush, rolling brush, filter, sensors, and dust bag, along with videos of how to change them. You can also control the X10 Pro with voice commands via Alexa and Google Assistant.</p>

  3352.  
  3353.  
  3354.  
  3355. <p>Only two of these phones have made it to Europe so far, and there&rsquo;s no sign of the other models joining them yet. Here&rsquo;s everything you need to know about the Magic 6 series, including their release date, pricing and all the key specs and features.</p>

  3360.  
  3361.  
  3362.  
  3363. <p>The launch dates of Honor Magic 6 phones have been very staggered.</p>
  3364.  
  3365.  
  3366.  
  3367. <p>The Magic 6 Lite was first up, though the 4 December Chinese unveiling was soon followed by a European launch on 10 January.</p>
  3368.  
  3369.  
  3370.  
  3371. <p>Just a day later, on 11 January, the Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro joined their more affordable counterpart in China. Honor used its pre-MWC keynote in Barcelona on 25 February to reveal the Magic 6 Pro in Europe, but not the regular Magic 6. The Pro was then released on 1 March.</p>

  3384.  
  3385. <p>Then, on 18 March 2024, Honor revealed its top-of-the-line Magic 6 Ultimate in China. Shipping begins on 22 March, but there&rsquo;s no word on a global launch. Unless something changes, neither it or the regular Magic 6 will make it to Europe.</p>
  3386.  
  3387.  
  3388.  
  3389. <p>A Porsche Design version of the regular Magic 6 then launched on 2 May 2024. Unlike the regular Magic 6, it will be available in the UK, though it&rsquo;s not clear exactly when.</p>
  3390.  
  3391.  
  3392.  
  3393. <p>For context, here&rsquo;s when the previous generations were launched in Europe:</p>

  3407. </ul>
  3408.  
  3409.  
  3410.  
  3411. <p>Don&rsquo;t expect any of the phones to ever be available in North America &ndash; Honor doesn&rsquo;t sell its devices there.</p>
  3412.  
  3413.  
  3414.  
  3415. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-much-will-the-honor-magic-6-cost">How much will the Honor Magic 6 cost?</h2>
  3416.  
  3417.  
  3418.  
  3419. <p>The Magic 6 Pro is a flagship phone in almost every sense of the word, and its price reflects that. The phone costs &euro;1,299 for a model with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.</p>
  3420.  
  3421.  
  3422.  
  3423. <p>That makes it one of the most expensive <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723361/best-android-phone.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723361/best-android-phone.html">Android phones</a> you can buy, though the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2197420/honor-magic-6-lite-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2197420/honor-magic-6-lite-review.html">Magic 6 Lite</a> is far more affordable. It costs &pound;349.99 for the only model available in the UK.</p>
  3424.  
  3425.  
  3426.  
  3427. <p>The regular Magic 6&rsquo;s &yen;4,399 Chinese price translates to around &pound;500, but if the phone ever launches in the UK, expect it to be much more expensive. The Magic 5 cost &euro;899 in Europe, for example.</p>
  3428.  
  3429.  
  3430.  
  3431. <p>While the Magic 6 RSR is available in the UK, it&rsquo;s a Porsche Design special edition of the device and so much more expensive. It&rsquo;ll set you back &pound;1,599 via the <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.honor.com/uk/&amp;xcust=4-1-2116795-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.honor.com/uk/" rel="nofollow">Honor UK website</a>.</p>
  3432.  
  3433.  
  3434.  
  3435. <p>If the Magic 6 Ultimate ever comes to Europe, its &yen;6999 price in China suggests it&rsquo;ll be significantly more expensive than even the Magic 6 Pro.</p>
  3436.  
  3437.  
  3438.  
  3439. <p>For context, here&rsquo;s how much their predecessors cost at launch:</p>

  3565. <p>Meanwhile, the standard Magic 6 features a 32MP telephoto lens offering 2.5x optical and 50x digital zoom, paired with a 50MP ultrawide lens. Both phones house a 50MP front-facing camera with an f/2.0 aperture for selfies.</p>
  3566.  
  3567.  
  3568.  
  3569. <p>What&rsquo;s more, Honor says the new &lsquo;Falcon Camera System&rsquo; on the Magic 6 series is built to capture images of fast-moving scenes, especially in sport. To do so, the phones are equipped with upgrades sensors, improved shutter speeds, faster imaging speeds and new, dedicated algorithms.</p>
  3570.  
  3571.  
  3572.  
  3573. <p>The cameras on the Magic 6 phones also supposedly offer better dynamic range, light sensitivity, zoom capabilities and a dynamic end result. Honor wants it to be on a par with a dedicated mirrorless camera.</p>

  3581. <p>These are top-tier features, and it&rsquo;s clear that Honor wants the Magic 6 and 6 Pro to be just as good as a dedicated camera for most people. While the hardware is impressive on paper, it&rsquo;ll have to be a significant upgrade over even the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1791356/honor-magic-5-pro-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1791356/honor-magic-5-pro-review.html">Magic 5 Pro</a> to achieve that.

  3582.  
  3583.  
  3584.  
  3585. <p>Honor is also advertising the abilities of the eye-tracking tech on the Magic 6 Pro, which uses AI to control what&rsquo;s on the screen by just looking at it. It can even be used to control a car, as this YouTube video from Autocar demonstrates:</p>

  3638.  
  3639. <p>Running on the latest MagicOS 8.0 based on <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1434949/android-14-2.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1434949/android-14-2.html">Android 14</a>, these devices offer an impressive array of features.</p>
  3640.  
  3641.  
  3642.  
  3643. <p>This new version introduces a MagicLM on-device large language model equipped with an impressive 7 billion parameters. Notably, Honor highlights the intent-based user interface (IUI) of MagicOS 8.0, which actively suggests services and apps based on the user&rsquo;s usage patterns.</p>
  3644.  
  3645.  
  3646.  
  3647. <p>A significant addition is the Magic Portal feature, making use of Honor&rsquo;s LLM and IUI to provide context-based app and service shortcut recommendations through a side swipe. This functionality, for example, will let you drag and drop a booking reservation from the messages app to the maps app, instantly getting directions to the venue.</p>
  3648.  
  3649.  
  3650.  
  3651. <p>Magic Portal supports multimodal input, incorporating text and images, and also registers gestures and eye movements on compatible Honor phones. For example, users can tap and hold on images of clothing and drag them to the side to initiate searches within shopping apps.</p>
  3652.  
  3653.  
  3654.  
  3655. <p>While Honor has confirmed support for the top 100 most popular apps in China, there are no specifics on whether these features will extend to other regions.</p>
  3656.  
  3657.  
  3658.  
  3659. <p>Additionally, MagicOS 8.0 introduces new options for customizing the home screen, enhances UI speed, and is designed to be more resource-efficient due to optimizations carried out by Honor&rsquo;s software team. A notable feature is the introduction of a &ldquo;shake-to-block ads&rdquo; functionality to combat intrusive pop-ups, along with system-wide Parallel Spaces that allow users to display two instances of the same app.</p>

  3727. <p>Although Honor has announced the Android 14-based Magic OS 8.0, the Magic 6 Lite runs <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/745721/android-13-everything-you-need-to-know.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/745721/android-13-everything-you-need-to-know.html">Android 13</a> with the Magic UI 7.2 overlay and is powered by a 5300mAh battery with 35W fast charging.</p>

  3739. <p>The Magic 6 Ultimate, currently exclusive to China, looks quite different to the other phones in the lineup. </p>
  3740.  
  3741.  
  3742.  
  3743. <p>Instead of the round rear camera module, it&rsquo;s more square (albeit with rounded corners), despite only small tweaks to the hardware itself. The main lens is still 50Mp &ndash; it just now has LiDAR autofocus rather than laser autofocus. It also now supports 4K video at 24fps (rather than just 30- or 60fps) and supports OIS (optical image stabilisation) for video as well as still photos.</p>

  3804.  
  3805.  
  3806. <p>OnePlus introduces its mid-range phones under the Ace series in China, which are named differently for international markets. However, outside its homeland it&rsquo;s known as the &ldquo;Nord&rdquo; series.</p>
  3807.  
  3808.  
  3809.  
  3810. <p>The latest addition to the Ace series, called OnePlus Ace 3V, has just been announced in China and it&rsquo;s very likely that it will get a global launch as the OnePlus Nord 4. A similar situation occurred with the previous <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1985695/oneplus-nord-3-review.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1985695/oneplus-nord-3-review.html">OnePlus Nord 3</a>, so we expect such a turn of events this time too.</p>
  3811.  
  3812.  
  3813.  
  3814. <p>However, there&rsquo;s also a possibility that the name might be skipped due to the superstition surrounding the number 4 in China, in favour of the OnePlus Nord 5.</p>
  3815.  
  3816.  
  3817.  
  3818. <p>Here&rsquo;s everything we know so far about the upcoming OnePlus&rsquo; <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723509/best-mid-range-phone.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723509/best-mid-range-phone.html">mid-range phone</a>.</p>

  3823.  
  3824.  
  3825.  
  3826. <p>The OnePlus Ace 3V was released on <strong>21 March 2024</strong> in China. </p>
  3827.  
  3828.  
  3829.  
  3830. <p>However, the launch date for the global variant remains uncertain. Given the OnePlus Nord 3&rsquo;s launch in July last year, it&rsquo;s possible we&rsquo;ll have to wait until <strong>July 2024</strong> for the global release.</p>
  3831.  
  3832.

However, that process only tends to happen a few weeks before any launch, so July would make sense.</p>
  3835.  
  3836.  
  3837.

  3839.

  3841.  
  3842. <p>As a reminder, here are the release dates of the previous models in the Nord series which has been July almost every time:</p>

  3860. </ul>
  3861.  
  3862.  
  3863.  
  3864. <p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that the OnePlus Nord 4 might not be available in the UK, especially considering that its predecessor, the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1985695/oneplus-nord-3-review.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1985695/oneplus-nord-3-review.html">Nord 3</a>, was not sold in the UK market at first <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2016507/oneplus-nord-3-pre-order-uk.html">before the company did a u-turn</a>.</p>
  3865.  
  3866.  
  3867.  
  3868. <p>It&rsquo;s also unlikely to be sold in the US, though that&rsquo;s less surprising &ndash; none of those models had launched there either.</p>
  3869.  
  3870.

  3872. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="how-much-will-the-oneplus-nord-4-cost">How much will the OnePlus Nord 4 cost?</h2>
  3873.  
  3874.  
  3875.  
  3876. <p>The OnePlus Ace 3V is priced competitively, starting at CNY1,999 (&pound;219/$278/&euro;255) in China, with higher-tier variants available for CNY2,599 (&pound;285/$361/&euro;332). However, at this point we do not know how much it might cost outside China.</p>
  3877.  
  3878.  
  3879.  
  3880. <p>Here are the prices of previous models during their initial launch:</p>
  3881.

  3885. <li>OnePlus Nord &ndash; &pound;379</li>

  3898. </ul>
  3899.  
  3900.  
  3901.  
  3902. <p>Given the upward price trend of the models in the Nord series, it is very likely that the Nord 4 will cost a minimum of &pound;499/&euro;499.</p>
  3903.

  3907.

  3915.

  3917.  
  3918. <p>The phone features flat sides with chamfered edges and all physical buttons placed on the right side, except for the OnePlus&rsquo; distinctive alert slider located on the left. Its front hosts a flat display with thin, albeit non-uniform bezels and a centered camera hole. The device&rsquo;s frame is constructed from plastic material.</p>
  3919.  
  3920.  
  3921.  
  3922. <p>On the back, two vertically aligned cameras are housed within a slightly protruding camera island situated in the top-left corner. The OnePlus logo is centered on the rear side of the phone. Additionally, the device boasts an <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/740394/what-is-an-ip-rating-waterproofing-and-water-resistance-explained.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/740394/what-is-an-ip-rating-waterproofing-and-water-resistance-explained.html">IP65 rating</a>, safeguarding it against splashes and dust and offers colour options in black and silver variants.</p>

  4038.  
  4039.  
  4040.  
  4041. <p>Samsung released a lot of new products each and every year, but it&rsquo;s biggest consumer-focused launches tend to get a dedicated event.&nbsp;</p>
  4042.  
  4043.  
  4044.  
  4045. <p>We&rsquo;ve already had one for the Galaxy S24 series in 2024, and it looks like another one is on the way. &nbsp;</p>
  4046.  
  4047.  
  4048.  
  4049. <p>Here&rsquo;s everything we know about the next Galaxy Unpacked event and what might be announced there.&nbsp;</p>
  4050.  
  4051.  
  4052.  
  4053. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="when-does-samsung-usually-hold-events">When does Samsung usually hold events?&nbsp;</h2>
  4054.  
  4055.  
  4056.  
  4057. <p>Samsung is known for its grand unveilings of new products, often through high-profile Galaxy Unpacked events.&nbsp;</p>
  4058.  
  4059.  
  4060.  
  4061. <p>These typically occur a couple times a year, with high-end smartphones, tablets and smartwatches usually on the agenda.&nbsp;</p>
  4062.  
  4063.  
  4064.  
  4065. <p>Historically, Samsung has followed a regular schedule, with Unpacked events taking place at two key moments in the year.&nbsp;</p>
  4066.  
  4067.  
  4068.  
  4069. <ul>
  4070. <li>January/February: typically, the Galaxy S smartphones and Galaxy Tab S tablets&nbsp;</li>
  4071.  
  4072.  
  4073.  
  4074. <li>July/August: typically, the Galaxy Z foldables and Galaxy Watch smartwatches&nbsp;</li>
  4075. </ul>
  4076.  
  4077.  
  4078.  
  4079. <p>However, the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1532938/samsung-galaxy-tab-s9-2.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Tab S9</a> series was unveiled at last year&rsquo;s summer event, rather than at the beginning of the year like the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/819625/samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tab S8</a> series in 2023, so this is not a fixed pattern.&nbsp;</p>
  4080.  
  4081.  
  4082.  
  4083. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="when-will-the-next-samsung-event-take-place">When will the next Samsung event take place?</h2>
  4084.  
  4085.  
  4086.  
  4087. <p>According to <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-next-galaxy-unpacked-2024-event-date-exclusive/&amp;xcust=4-1-2321802-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">SamMobile</a>, a Samsung-focused tech site, the next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on <strong>10 July 2024</strong>.&nbsp;</p>
  4088.  
  4089.  
  4090.  
  4091. <p>Although the site claims that the date is &ldquo;confirmed&rdquo;, Samsung hasn&rsquo;t confirmed anything publicly at this stage.&nbsp;</p>
  4092.  
  4093.  
  4094.  
  4095. <p>However, it seems highly likely that we&rsquo;ll see an event around this time, even if it&rsquo;s not on that specific date.&nbsp;</p>
  4096.  
  4097.  
  4098.  
  4099. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="what-will-samsung-announce-at-its-next-event">What will Samsung announce at its next event?&nbsp;</h2>
  4100.  
  4101.  
  4102.  
  4103. <p>Samsung&rsquo;s next event hasn&rsquo;t been confirmed by the company yet, so we don&rsquo;t have any official information on what might be announced.&nbsp;</p>
  4104.  
  4105.  
  4106.  
  4107. <p>However, rumours and leaks have been circulating for a while now, hinting at what may be coming.&nbsp;</p>
  4108.  
  4109.  
  4110.  
  4111. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="galaxy-z-fold-6">Galaxy Z Fold 6</h3>
  4112.  
  4113.  
  4114.  
  4115. <p>There are many indications that Samsung is set to shake up the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/724489/best-foldable-phone-2.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/724489/best-foldable-phone-2.html">foldable phones</a> market with new Galaxy Z series phones.&nbsp;</p>
  4116.  
  4117.  
  4118.  
  4119. <p>The <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2130340/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Z Fold 6</a> is expected to come in two versions for the first time, with a regular model being joined by brand-new Ultra.&nbsp;</p>

  4199. <p>The Galaxy Z Flip 5 introduced several design changes, particularly with the new hinge mechanism and larger cover screen, so Samsung is expected to only make small tweaks this time around.&nbsp;</p>

  4369. <p>In 2023, Apple surprised us with three dedicated events.</p>
  4370.  
  4371.  
  4372.  
  4373. <p>WWDC in June and the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1072159/apple-iphone-15.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1072159/apple-iphone-15.html">iPhone 15</a> launch in September were both expected, but few people had predicted another one dedicated to the Mac in October.</p>
  4374.  
  4375.  
  4376.  
  4377. <p>However, despite releasing the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2238992/apple-vision-pro-headset-review.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2238992/apple-vision-pro-headset-review.html">Vision Pro</a> in the US and M3 MacBook Air in many countries in 2024, neither warranted a specific event.</p>
  4378.  
  4379.  
  4380.  
  4381. <p>All indications were that there would be no spring event this year. However, we now know that there&rsquo;s one happening very soon indeed. Here&rsquo;s everything you need to know.</p>
  4382.  
  4383.  
  4384.  
  4385. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="when-does-apple-usually-hold-events">When does Apple usually hold events?</h2>
  4386.  
  4387.  
  4388.  
  4389. <p>Apple typically holds three or four live or live-streamed events annually to unveil its latest products. The events are generally scheduled at similar times each year:</p>
  4390.  
  4391.  
  4392.  
  4393. <ul>
  4394. <li>March/April/May: Spring event (not every year)</li>
  4395.  
  4396.  
  4397.  
  4398. <li>June: Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC, every year)</li>
  4399.  
  4400.  
  4401.  
  4402. <li>September: Autumn/Fall event (also known as the iPhone and Apple Watch launch event, every year)</li>
  4403.  
  4404.  
  4405.  
  4406. <li>October/November: Late-autumn/fall event (occasionally)</li>
  4407. </ul>
  4408.  
  4409.  
  4410.  
  4411. <p>Expect at least three of these in 2024, with two already confirmed and another almost certain to happen.</p>
  4412.  
  4413.  
  4414.  
  4415. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="when-will-the-next-apple-event-take-place">When will the next Apple event take place?</h2>
  4416.  
  4417.  
  4418.  
  4419. <p>Apple has confirmed that its next event will take place on <strong>7 May 2024</strong> under the theme &lsquo;Let Loose&rsquo;. The event is expected to be focused on the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/724909/best-ipads.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/724909/best-ipads.html">iPad</a>, with at least two models rumoured to be announced.</p>

  4555. <p>As always, WWDC is expected to bring official previews of the next versions of Apple&rsquo;s operating systems &ndash; <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2223293/ios-18.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2223293/ios-18.html">iOS 18</a>, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, and tvOS 18.</p>
  4556.  
  4557.  
  4558.  
  4559. <p>There&rsquo;s also a possibility of an update to Apple&rsquo;s realityOS, which the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2238992/apple-vision-pro-headset-review.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2238992/apple-vision-pro-headset-review.html">Vision Pro</a> runs on. Across all software, AI advancements are expected to be a focal point this year.</p>
  4560.  
  4561.  
  4562.  
  4563. <p>While hardware announcements aren&rsquo;t always the main focus at WWDC, they have taken place in the past. Just don&rsquo;t expect any new iPhones or Apple Watches to be announced before the usual September event.</p>

  4715.

  4732. <p>Although <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/724615/best-tv-shows-disney-plus-uk.html">Disney+</a> has done a grand job of bringing Bluey to viewers around the world, it&rsquo;s no secret that the streaming service has been cautious about the content.&nbsp;</p>
  4733.  
  4734.  
  4735.  
  4736. <p>It is a kid&rsquo;s show after all, but Disney has arguably gone overboard on this front.&nbsp;</p>

  4739.  
  4740. <p>&lsquo;Dad Baby&rsquo; wasn&rsquo;t part of the UK and US rollout and still can&rsquo;t be found on the platform even if you&rsquo;re aware of its existence.&nbsp;</p>

  4744. <p>It seems Disney considers the content of the episode unsuitable for young viewers with the storyline revolving around Bandit pretending to be pregnant with Bingo (she&rsquo;s in a baby carrier strapped to her dad) and features a water birth in the paddling pool in the Heeler&rsquo;s garden.&nbsp;</p>

  4748. <p>This might be the only fully banned episode of Bluey on Disney+ in the West but the streaming service has also been editing jokes that it also isn&rsquo;t happy about, including changing &lsquo;unicorn poo&rsquo; to a &lsquo;slug&rsquo; in the Trains episode.&nbsp;</p>

It&rsquo;ll mop the edges and even the corners, before using hot water to hygienically clean the pads and dry them, so there&rsquo;s minimal maintenance. However, while it&rsquo;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 roll aren&rsquo;t sufficient to leave soft floors debris-free.</p>

  4848. <p>The first mopping vacuums were basic, often using plain water onboard and with no way to clean the pads other than detaching and popping them in the washing machine. Stacked up against Yeedi&rsquo;s M12 Pro+ vacuum mop, the difference is palpable. Not only does its base come with large tanks for fresh and dirty water, it&rsquo;ll clean its twin pads with 160&deg;F/70&deg;C water and even dry them into the bargain. Even better, they swing out to reach edges and corners before lifting up when a soft floor is encountered. That, plus automatic dust emptying means you may never need to reach for a mop and bucket again.</p>

  4870. <p>While the robot itself is an average size (H4 x W13.8x D13.8in), there&rsquo;s no getting away from the fact that Yeedi&rsquo;s M12 Pro+ vacuum mop&rsquo;s station is somewhat imposing in anything other than a large room. Finished in black plastic with a section at the bottom that juts out, it takes up a significant amount of floor space (H18.9 x W16 x D19in) and needs 20in clearance at each side. Add in two water tanks on top (4 litres for clean and 3.5 litres for dirty), and you&rsquo;ll need to leave access space above it as well. There&rsquo;s also a 3.4L dust bag inside that promises to hold up to 90 days&rsquo; worth of dirt.&nbsp;</p>

It mapped out our floor initially in a few minutes before filling in details. </p>

  4968. <p>The vac is also loaded with tech to prevent it falling downstairs or bumping into objects, although we still noticed some collisions: these were mostly with objects that had been moved from one location to another or sometimes our feet. Smaller objects, such as a cat toy, weren&rsquo;t avoided, as one wrapped around the brush roll. If we moved or rotated the base, the robot vac struggled to find it again until manually placed back in for charging.</p>

  5012. <p>The basics are simple to alter though, allowing you to choose suction power, level of mopping, mopping, vacuuming or a mixture of both and so on. Its more powerful levels of cleaning use up its battery life rapidly but if it&rsquo;s kept on the lower ones, its makers estimate that the M12 Pro+ can provide almost five hours on one charge.</p>

  5019.  
  5020. <p>After a whole floor clean, we used the spot cleaning function to see how the M12 Pro+ handled dust (flour) and debris (porridge oats) on both hard and soft flooring. Spot cleaning can be activated by a single button push on the robot vac, which then triggers a 1m sq area clean. We set it to do this twice.</p>
  5021.  
  5022.  
  5023.  
  5024. <p>The hard floor clean (using the vac and mopping) was the more impressive: all traces of the flour were picked up and only a few porridge oats had been flicked around by the spinning brush. We especially liked that the mop pads extended and retracted for reasonable edge-to-edge and corner cleaning &ndash; something some robot vacuums promise but don&rsquo;t deliver. However, while most of the flour was removed from the carpet, around a quarter of the oats remained and were spread around.</p>

  5060. <p>What could be the most attractive feature though is the automatic emptying and self-cleaning. Once back in the base, the robot vac empties into its bigger bin. It&rsquo;s loud &ndash; 80dBA &ndash; around the level of a lawnmower. From there, the base uses hot water to clean the mop pads, and then hot air to dry them, which is a more hygienic and convenient solution than most.</p>

It allows you to swap little-and-often cleaning and a weekly deep clean for occasionally emptying a dust bag and some dirty water, plus refilling a fresh tank. </p>

  5082.  
  5083.  
  5084. <p>There&rsquo;s still some way to go before it performs equally well on a mid-pile carpet, but if you never want to mop a floor again &ndash; with the M12 Pro+, you probably won&rsquo;t have to.</p>

  5099. <p>We&rsquo;re only five races into the 2024 F1 season, but Max Verstappen and Red Bull are already running away with the titles.</p>
  5100.  
  5101.  
  5102.  
  5103. <p>The Dutchman has a 25-point lead over teammate Sergio Perez in the Driver Standings, giving the team a 44-point advantage in the Constructor Standings.</p>
  5104.  
  5105.  
  5106.  
  5107. <p>Based on the strength of the team and the previous two editions of the Miami Grand Prix, a win for Verstappen and Red Bull seems highly likely. </p>
  5108.  
  5109.  
  5110.  
  5111. <p>Here&rsquo;s how to watch all the action from Florida this weekend, including the first ever sprint in Miami.</p>

  5178.  
  5179. <p>F1 is fast becoming a pay-to-watch sport. But there are ways to watch without paying, especially if you&rsquo;re happy to watch highlights later in the day.</p>
  5180.  
  5181.  
  5182.  
  5183. <p>Sky still has the exclusive rights to show live races in the UK (as well as Italy and Germany), meaning the only coverage on free-to-air TV in the UK will be available on Channel 4. The British Grand Prix is the only race of the season that&rsquo;s broadcast live on Channel 4 each season. </p>
  5184.  
  5185.  
  5186.  
  5187. <p>Channel 4&rsquo;s streaming service &ndash; known simply as &lsquo;Channel 4&rsquo; &ndash; allows you to watch live from wherever you are. , but it can take a while for the highlights to appear there if you don&rsquo;t catch them as they&rsquo;re being broadcast. The highlights show usually lasts more than two hours and is allowed to cover 70% of the action.</p>
  5188.  
  5189.  
  5190.  
  5191. <p>You can watch Channel 4 on your TV, of course, but you can also watch using the All 4 app on your phone or tablet (but not live), or in a web browser via <a title="Channel 4's website" rel="nofollow" href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.channel4.com/now/c4&amp;xcust=4-1-727810-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" target="_blank">the website</a>.

  5196.  
  5197.

  5199. <p>Remember, if you watch any live TV in the UK, you&rsquo;ll need a <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/725848/do-i-need-a-tv-licence.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/725848/do-i-need-a-tv-licence.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TV Licence</a>.

  5210.  
  5211. <p>Races are now broadcast in 4K HDR, though you&rsquo;ll need a Sky Glass TV, or a Sky Q box that&rsquo;s capable of sending the 4K HDR signal to your compatible TV. That means one which supports the HLG type of HDR, because that&rsquo;s what Sky uses. You&rsquo;ll also need the appropriate Ultra HD add-on for your Sky TV package.&nbsp;</p>

  5215. <p>Since March 2023, the relevant channel is known as &lsquo;Sky Sports F1 UHD&rsquo;, reflecting the fact it now supports 4K HDR as standard.</p>
  5216.  
  5217.  
  5218.  
  5219. <p>Unfortunately, there&rsquo;s no way to only get Sky Sports F1 &ndash; you&rsquo;ll have to combine it with all the other Sky Sports channels. This currently costs <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11005&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-727810-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.sky.com/tv/sports" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.sky.com/tv/sports" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&pound;20 extra per month</a> on top of an existing Sky Entertainment and Netflix plan &ndash; the cheapest combined plan is currently <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=11005&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-727810-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.sky.com/deals/tv" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.sky.com/deals/tv" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&pound;43 per month</a> on an initial 18-month contract.</p>
  5220.  
  5221.  
  5222.  
  5223. <p>If you don&rsquo;t want to pay for Sky TV (maybe because you only want F1) then there is an alternative: you can subscribe via Sky&rsquo;s streaming service, Now (formerly Now TV). That&rsquo;s available on your phone, tablet, games consoles, via a web browser and also via an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, Roku device and others.</p>
  5224.  
  5225.  
  5226.  
  5227. <p>It usually costs &pound;34.99 per month for the Sky Sports Pass, but an offer at the time of writing reduces the price to <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.nowtv.com/sports-purchase&amp;xcust=4-1-727810-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nowtv.com/sports-purchase" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&pound;26.99 for the first six months</a>.</p>
  5228.  
  5229.  
  5230.  
  5231. <p>That includes a month of free Now Boost which adds 1080p video (instead of 720p), allows simultaneous streaming on up to 3 devices (rather than just one) and removes ads. After that, it costs &pound;6 extra per month.</p>
  5232.  
  5233.  
  5234.  
  5235. <p>For the first time in 2024, a Now Sports subscription includes &lsquo;Bonus Stream&rsquo; features, which were previously exclusive to Sky TV customers:</p>

  5269. <p>F1 owners Liberty Media operate an online streaming service known as F1 TV Pro, but it isn&rsquo;t available in the UK due to Sky&rsquo;s exclusive. However, there is a workaround, as we&rsquo;ll explain below.</p>

  5276.  
  5277. <p>In the US, ESPN is the only official F1 broadcaster. To access it, you&rsquo;ll need to pay for a subscription. While it is available via cable TV, it&rsquo;s much easier to pay for it on its own.</p>
  5278.  
  5279.  
  5280.  
  5281. <p>Paying $10.99 for a month&rsquo;s access makes most sense, but $109.99 gets you the channel for a full year. ESPN+ is also the place to watch many American football, hockey, golf and basketball matches, plus several top European football (soccer) leagues.</p>

  5296.  
  5297. <p>F1 TV Pro is only available&nbsp;in the likes of the Netherlands, Canada and the US.

  5298.  
  5299.  
  5300.  
  5301. <p>That extends to helmet cameras, which broadcast live footage from 6-8 drivers each race weekend. Sky have access to these, but you can only choose which to watch via F1 TV Pro.</p>
  5302.  
  5303.  
  5304.  
  5305. <p>But in the UK, the exclusive deal with Sky means you can only officially get a <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.formula1.com/en-gb/subscribe-to-f1-tv&amp;xcust=4-1-727810-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.formula1.com/en-gb/subscribe-to-f1-tv" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">live timing service</a> for &pound;19.99 per year or &pound;2.29 per month.

  5306.  
  5307.  
  5308.  
  5309. <p>However, we know from first-hand experience that you can successfully watch the service in the UK via <a title="Surfshark" href="https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=6&amp;aff_id=1351&amp;aff_sub=4-1-727810-1-0-0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Surfshark</a>.</p>

  5480.  
  5481.  
  5482.  
  5483. <ul>
  5484. <li>Round 5 &ndash; China</li>

  5507.  
  5508.  
  5509. <p>There&rsquo;s been a slight change to the format of Sprint weekends for 2024. After one free practice session, the Sprint Shootout will take place on a Friday, determining the order for Saturday&rsquo;s Sprint. </p>
  5510.  
  5511.  
  5512.  
  5513. <p>That will take place first on a Saturday, before qualifying for the main race follows. During Sprint weekends, the race itself will still take place on a Sunday.</p>
  5514.  
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517. <p>The actual Sprint sessions are unchanged. </p>
  5518.  
  5519.  
  5520.  
  5521. <p>The Sprint Shootout delivers a quick-fire version of the usual three-session qualifying. The slowest five cars will be eliminated from Q1 (12 minutes) and Q2 (10 minutes), but the medium tire will be mandatory. In the eight-minute Q3 session, everyone must be on the soft tyre.</p>
  5522.  
  5523.  
  5524.  
  5525. <p>Once this grid is determined, the sprint race will take place over 100km. Points will be awarded to the top eight finishers, from 8 for the winner to one point for P8.</p>

  5554. <p>Throughout two seasons, Ava and Deborah have&nbsp;gradually worked their way up from failure to success. The diva managed to return to the top, while her companion started her own career. In the third season, the women&rsquo;s paths cross again &ndash; so we can expect&nbsp;stand-ups, put-downs, rows, and reconciliations.</p>
  5555.  
  5556.  
  5557.  
  5558. <p>Hacks is a sharp but charming streaming series following two very different comedians who wind up working together. The show explores generational conflict and challenges faced by women working in showbiz. It&rsquo;s been highly acclaimed by viewers and critics alike.</p>
  5559.  
  5560.  
  5561.

  5633.  
  5634.  
  5635.  
  5636. <p>The second season of Hacks brought all the major storylines to a close. Deborah and Ava achieved success with Deborah&rsquo;s show, and the pair seemed closer than ever. But during the celebratory party, Deborah fired Ava, deciding that while she was in demand, she should focus on her own career.</p>
  5637.  
  5638.  
  5639.  
  5640. <p>Despite the painful parting with her mentor, Ava finally appreciated her decision. In season 3, the two women will go their separate ways for a while, but they will team up again. Especially because Deborah, who is on top again, will have to put in a lot of effort to maintain her position.</p>
  5641.  
  5642.  
  5643.  
  5644. <p>She&rsquo;ll probably be able to count on the help of Jimmy and Kayla, who, at the end of season 2, decided to take a big leap and set up their own PR agency.</p>
  5645.  
  5646.  
  5647.  
  5648. <p>In Deborah&rsquo;s personal life, there&rsquo;s a small revolution on its way in the form of the baby her daughter DJ is expecting. At the same time, the ongoing flirtation between Deborah and Palmetto Casino owner Marty is over &ndash; for now, at least &ndash; with Marty engaged to another woman.</p>

  5972.  
  5973. <p>Battery life is the most significant improvement, meaning you can now comfortably get a full day and night on a single charge. The upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chip also delivers a nice boost to performance.</p>
  5974.  
  5975. <p>Health and fitness tracking is extensive, and enables a huge range of information via the Fitbit app. But you&rsquo;ll need a Fitbit Premium account to access some information, and sleep tracking isn&rsquo;t the best.</p>
  5976.  
  5977. <p>But aside from no wireless charging, there are no other real downsides to the Pixel Watch 2. You get the same stunning design as its predecessor, plus slick Wear OS software which is intuitive and easy to use.</p>
  5978.  
  5979. <p>Overall, the Pixel Watch 2 offers everything most people are looking for in a smartwatch. But only if you have an Android phone, as it&rsquo;s not compatible with the iPhone.</p>

  6073. <p>The Apple Watch SE is now over a year old, but it&rsquo;s still is the best Apple Watch for most people with an iPhone. A big part of that is the price &ndash; it&rsquo;s relatively affordable, which isn&rsquo;t something you can often say about Apple hardware products.</p>
  6074.  
  6075. <p>It has many of the features of the more expensive Apple Watch Series 8, including a premium chipset, solid battery life and car crash detection.</p>
  6076.  
  6077. <p>If you equally value smart features like third-party app integration, music storage, contactless payments, and full fitness tracking, the Apple Watch is still the best smartwatch if you have an iPhone. The SE does everything surprisingly well, considering it&rsquo;s the cheapest one.</p>

  6175. <p>Samsung ditched the Classic version of its Galaxy Watch in 2022, but it&rsquo;s returned in style for this series. While it doesn&rsquo;t come cheap, this is the best Android smartwatch you can buy.</p>
  6176.  
  6177. <p>Its defining feature is a physical rotating bezel, the main difference compared to the regular <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2027375/samsung-galaxy-watch-6-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2027375/samsung-galaxy-watch-6-review.html">Galaxy Watch 6</a>. Not only does it make using the watch easier, it adds some useful protection to the screen.</p>
  6178.  
  6179. <p>That display is another highlight, whether you go for the 43mm (1.3in) or 47mm (1.5in) option. It&rsquo;s a crisp OLED, combining vibrant colours with excellent detail. </p>
  6180.  
  6181. <p>As you might expect, health and fitness tracking is extensive, with support for over 100 workouts and detailed sleep analysis. Battery life is also good, but only if you keep the always-on display turned off. </p>
  6182.  
  6183. <p>You&rsquo;ll also have to make do without the ECG, blood pressure monitoring and irregular heart notifications if you don&rsquo;t have a Samsung phone. But overall, this is still a fantastic smartwatch. </p>

  6279. <p>The Watch Series 9 continues Apple&rsquo;s recent tradition of iterative updates.

  6280.  
  6281. <p>However, there&rsquo;s no doubting the fact that this remains a very good smartwatch. The already excellent display is now even brighter, making for great outdoor visibility. Its always on display is great, too.</p>
  6282.  
  6283. <p>Alongside superb health and fitness tracking (including sleep) and an unrivalled selection of supported apps via watchOS, the Series 9 is one of the most complete smartwatches you can buy.</p>
  6284.  
  6285. <p>Battery life is decent, but this is still only worth considering if you own an iPhone. Like all Apple Watches, it&rsquo;s simply not compatible with Android.</p>

  6381. <p>The second-generation OnePlus smartwatch is a huge step up from the troubled original. Primarily, the firm has switched from its own issue-riddled software to Wear OS which makes for an infinitely more pleasant experience.&nbsp;</p>
  6382.  
  6383. <p>One big reason to buy the Watch 2 over rivals is the long battery life it offers. This is made possible by its unusual dual-processor design so it can rely on the more power-efficient as much as possible to extend battery life.&nbsp;</p>
  6384.  
  6385. <p>It&rsquo;s also got quick charging and in our testing we found the fitness and sleep tracking to be both accurate and useful. OnePlus has done a great job with its premium look and durable build, too.&nbsp;</p>
  6386.  
  6387. <p>And it&rsquo;s cheaper than some rivals such as the Pixel Watch 2 but there are a few caveats to consider. There&rsquo;s no LTE model if cellular data is important to you and it doesn&rsquo;t have an ECG functionality either.&nbsp;</p>
  6388.  
  6389. <p>There&rsquo;s only one size of the smartwatch which is big and heavy meaning it&rsquo;s not ideal for anyone with smaller wrists, though we&rsquo;ve found the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2314748/oneplus-watch-2-nordic-blue-edition-finland-hands-on.html">Nordic Blue Edition</a> more comfortable based on initial testing.&nbsp;</p>

  6485. <p>If running is your workout of choice, the Garmin Forerunner 265 is the best option available. The real reason to buy it over competitors is that OLED display, which looks great &ndash; even in bright sunlight.</p>
  6486.  
  6487. <p>Battery life is compromised slightly to included it, but you&rsquo;ll still get up to 20 hours of constantly using the impressively accurate GPS. That&rsquo;ll be plenty for even marathons, with extensive running data combining with genuinely useful coaching for a great user experience. </p>
  6488.  
  6489. <p>It also works well for cycling and swimming, making the 265 an excellent choice for triathlons. But various other activities are supported, and it&rsquo;s lightweight design makes sleep tracking very comfortable.</p>
  6490.  
  6491. <p>Regular smartwatch features are more limited, though you can still get phone notifications (from iPhone or Android) and download songs for offline listening. But Garmin Pay is limited to only a few banks in the UK, and there&rsquo;s no map app. </p>
  6492.  
  6493. <p>If you can live with those and the premium price, there&rsquo;s no better watch out there for runners.</p>

  6591. <p>Unlike the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, the regular Watch 6 is a small upgrade compared to its predecessor &ndash; the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/917182/samsung-galaxy-watch-5-review.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/917182/samsung-galaxy-watch-5-review.html">Watch 5</a>. This more affordable option ditches the Classic&rsquo;s physical rotating bezel for an underwhelming virtual version, but it&rsquo;s still excellent in many areas.</p>
  6592.  
  6593. <p>That includes a slick design, complete with 1.3in (40mm) or 1.5in (44mm) OLED displays that perform superbly in all situations. Combine that with Samsung&rsquo;s intuitive take on the WearOS software, and you&rsquo;re onto a winner.</p>
  6594.  
  6595. <p>Performance is solid, but the Watch 6 really excels when it comes to health tracking. Tons of workouts are supported, alongside sleep tracking and a variety of ways to monitor your health.</p>
  6596.  
  6597. <p>However, three of these &ndash; ECGs, blood pressure monitoring and irregular heart rate detection &ndash; are only available if you have a Samsung phone. And even if you turn off the always-on display, a full day of battery life is only just within reach.</p>

  6690. <p>The Watch 2 Pro is the first premium Xiaomi smartwatch that we can recommend, and there&rsquo;s one big reason for that: Wear OS. Switching to Google&rsquo;s software allows for access to third-party apps via the Play Store, making it a much more powerful device.</p>
  6691.  
  6692. <p>And with Qualcomm&rsquo;s flagship Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 processor under the hood, performance is also very good. An attractive stainless steel bezel around the attractive 1.43-inch touchscreen gives the Watch 2 Pro a premium aesthetic, while a rotating physical crown makes navigation easy.</p>
  6693.  
  6694. <p>And with loads of health and fitness features (including sleep tracking), built-in GPS and the option for 4G, there&rsquo;s a lot to like about the Watch 2 Pro.</p>
  6695.  
  6696. <p>Provided you can live with just one day of battery life, that is. The lack of automatic workout tracking, cluttered companion app and bulky design aren&rsquo;t dealbreakers, but do you mind have to charge it every night? If not, the affordable price makes the Watch 2 Pro a real contender.</p>

  6794. <p>The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the ultimate smartwatch for the outdoors, even if there are very few upgrades compared to <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1392667/apple-watch-ultra-review-2.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1392667/apple-watch-ultra-review-2.html">the 2022 original</a>. If auto night mode and higher brightness aren&rsquo;t important to you, it might be worth saving some money.</p>
  6795.  
  6796. <p>But there are plenty of reasons you might want to go for it over regular watches such as the Apple Watch Series 9. It&rsquo;s significantly bigger and more expensive, but also adds extra layers of durability and better battery life. </p>
  6797.  
  6798. <p>It can still handle extreme environments, including very high and low temperatures and high altitudes, plus up to 100m underwater. There are also useful features such as dual-GPS and a physical action button that you&rsquo;ll only find on the Apple Watch Ultra.</p>
  6799.  
  6800. <p>Elsewhere, everything you love about the regular Apple Watches are still here, including extensive fitness tracking and intuitive watchOS software. But it still only works with an iPhone, and you might be hoping for more in-depth data in some situations.</p>

  6887. <p>It&rsquo;s a bit difficult to keep up with Xiaomi&rsquo;s naming systems as the firm has also launched the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2319614/xiaomi-watch-2-review.html">Watch 2</a> recently.&nbsp;</p>
  6888.  
  6889. <p>Regardless, the Watch S3 is a great alternative to both Apple Watch and rivals with Google&rsquo;s Wear OS. It runs on Xiaomi&rsquo;s own HyperOS and this is a key reason why the watch can last up to 15 days.&nbsp;</p>
  6890.  
  6891. <p>Non-Google software can be something to avoid by HyperOS is smooth and feature-rich. It&rsquo;s compatible with iPhone and Android but some features are reserved for the latter and contactless payment is limited to Mastercard at the time of writing.&nbsp;</p>
  6892.  
  6893. <p>The design of the Watch S3 is also a key lure with its interchangeable bezels which you can swap over in seconds for different occasions. They also come with matching watch faces the S3 will suggest for a cohesive look.&nbsp;</p>
  6894.  
  6895. <p>Xiaomi offers 5ATM (50m) waterproofing and runners will love the dual-band GPS for accurate tracking which is unusual at this price. Overall fitness tracking performance is better elsewhere though.&nbsp;</p>
  6896.  
  6897. <p>And yes, the price you&rsquo;re seeing here is correct, the S3 is very affordable making it a great choice for those on a budget.&nbsp;</p>

  6916. <p>There&rsquo;s an interesting theory that smartwatches are to the smartphone what wristwatches were to the pocket watch. Picture the way the average gentleman used to have to rummage through his pocket for his watch prior to the 20th century. Now skip forward 100+ years and the average smartphone user still has to dive into their pocket to check their phone.</p>
  6917.  
  6918.  
  6919.  
  6920. <p>The kicker now is that your smartphone holds far more information than a pocket watch ever did, all of which is still locked into your pocket.</p>
  6921.  
  6922.  
  6923.  
  6924. <p>Smartwatches aren&rsquo;t for making phone calls &ndash; although some can &ndash; instead, they (among other things) provide a quick and easy way to check your phone&rsquo;s notifications, so you can decide whether it&rsquo;s worth delving into your pocket or searching around your bag to fetch your smartphone and properly action anything.</p>
  6925.  
  6926.  
  6927.  
  6928. <p>But more than ever, the primary purpose of a smartwatch is as a health companion. Most can track your fitness, sleep and many other metrics of physical health, though this varies considerably depending on the smartwatch you choose.</p>

  6939. <div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
  6940. <p>When testing for the best smartwatch, the important factors to consider are &lsquo;how many of your smartphone&rsquo;s functions can it perform?&rsquo;, and &lsquo;how well does it handle each task?&rsquo;, the final attribute is obviously style &ndash; it&rsquo;s still bling after all.</p>
  6941.  
  6942.  
  6943.  
  6944. <p>You&rsquo;ll also want to make sure it&rsquo;s compatible with your smartphone &ndash; some are only for iPhone or Android, while others support most phones.</p>
  6945.  
  6946.  
  6947.  
  6948. <p>If you&rsquo;re an Android user then a Wear OS smartwatch is the obvious choice, while iPhone users should probably start by looking at an Apple Watch &ndash; but there are alternatives.</p>
  6949.  
  6950.  
  6951.  
  6952. <p>Fitbit watches still run their own operating system (despite being owned by Google) and so will work well with iPhones too &ndash; and even some Wear OS watches are compatible with iOS too. Meanwhile other manufacturers like Amazfit and Huawei also run their own software, and often work well with both types of phone.</p>
  6953.  
  6954.  
  6955.  
  6956. <p>Fitness fans will want to look for a device with a heart rate monitor and built-in GPS, even though they often can&rsquo;t compare to a chest-worn monitor in terms of accuracy. Many also come with NFC, which can be used for contactless payments via services such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.</p>
  6957.  
  6958.  
  6959.  
  6960. <p>We consider the important factors of a smartwatch to be level of notification detail, battery life, style, water resistance, device compatibility and additional features, such as microphones and WiFi support.

  6971. <div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
  6972. <p>The difference between smartwatches and fitness trackers is a bit of a grey area &ndash; after all, most fitness trackers also double as watches, and many include smart features.</p>
  6973.  
  6974.  
  6975.  
  6976. <p>To draw the line we factor in how a manufacturer positions its product, but for the most part the main question is how <em>smart</em> the device is. If all it can do is record exercise then it&rsquo;s a fitness tracker, but if it also allows you to install apps, take phone calls, and check notifications, then we&rsquo;re more likely to consider it a smartwatch. </p>
  6977.  
  6978.  
  6979.  
  6980. <p>This is really why this ranking doesn&rsquo;t currently feature any Fitbit smartwatches. We reviewed both the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1345848/fitbit-sense-2-review.html">Sense 2</a> and <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/1341013/fitbit-versa-4-review.html">Versa 4</a>, but found that both have had their smart features stripped back so much that they&rsquo;re difficult to recommend as smartwatches in their own right.</p>

  6995. <div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
  6996. <p>There are two types of smartwatches around at the moment: those with a colourful touchscreen &ndash; similarly to what you&rsquo;d find on your phone &ndash; and those which combine a regular analogue watch with smart features.</p>
  6997.  
  6998.  
  6999.  
  7000. <p>These are known as &lsquo;hybrid&rsquo; smartwatches; some have the smart bits almost completely hidden, while some give you information via a small integrated display (the <a title="Withings ScanWatch review" href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/721590/withings-scanwatch-review.html">Withings ScanWatch</a> is a good example of a hybrid watch).</p>
  7001.  
  7002.  
  7003.  
  7004. <p>While a fully-fledged smartwatch can do a lot more, that juice-guzzling screen results in shorter battery life. Hybrid watches benefit from longer battery life with some even having separate cells for the watch and smart features. Since they&rsquo;re not true smartwatches, you&rsquo;ll find hybrid watches from Withings and others in our separate <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723392/the-best-fitness-tracker-2022.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723392/the-best-fitness-tracker-2022.html">fitness tracker chart</a>.</p>

  7027.  
  7028.  
  7029.  
  7030. <p>But who will make it to the final in Dublin on 22 May? We know there&rsquo;ll be no British teams there, after Liverpool and West Ham were both eliminated in the quarter-finals.</p>

  7034. <p>Instead, Marseille are up against Atalanta, while Roma take on Bayer Leverkusen. Here&rsquo;s how to watch both semi-final ties live, wherever you are in the world.</p>

  7075.  
  7076.  
  7077.  
  7078. <p>BT Sport has been rebranded as TNT Sports, but it still has the exclusive rights to the Europa League in the UK. Not much has changed in terms of the plans available, either.</p>
  7079.  
  7080.  
  7081.  
  7082. <p>At full price, the cheapest package costs <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=3041&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-731532-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&pound;20 per month</a> on a monthly rolling contract, though you&rsquo;re limited to the discovery+ app. However it also includes Eurosport 1 &amp; 2 and the discovery+ Premium streaming service. </p>
  7083.  
  7084.  
  7085.  
  7086. <p>But if you&rsquo;d rather stream all the action and don&rsquo;t want a recordable TV box, it makes more sense to simply add TNT Sports to discovery+. That costs &pound;20 per month for BT Broadband customers, but you&rsquo;ll need to get the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=3041&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-731532-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.bt.com/sport/monthly-pass" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.bt.com/sport/monthly-pass" target="_blank">monthly pass</a> for &pound;30.99 per month otherwise.</p>
  7087.  
  7088.  
  7089.  
  7090. <p>And if you&rsquo;d like to <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=3041&amp;awinaffid=254429&amp;clickref=4-1-731532-1-0-0&amp;ued=https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.bt.com/sport/buy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">combine TNT Sports with Sky Sports</a> (known as &lsquo;Big Sport&rsquo;), it&rsquo;ll cost you &pound;45 per month at full price.</p>

  7098. <p>In the US, CBS has the exclusive English-language rights to the Europa League, with every match being broadcast live. If you already have cable TV, check if it&rsquo;s supported on the <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.cbs.com/live-tv/stream/tveverywhere/&amp;xcust=4-1-731532-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cbs.com/live-tv/stream/tveverywhere/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CBS website</a> and then contact your provider.</p>

  7195. <title>Don’t buy this stunning Huawei camera phone – you’ll probably regret it</title>

  7200.  
  7201.  
  7202.  
  7203. <p>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.</p>
  7204.  
  7205.  
  7206.  
  7207. <p>The Pura 70 range &ndash; a rebranding of the P series devices that came before it &ndash; includes three new devices. A regular Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro can be seen as direct successors to last year&rsquo;s models, but the Pura 70 Ultra is brand new.&nbsp;</p>
  7208.  
  7209.  
  7210.  
  7211. <p>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 natural depth of field.&nbsp;</p>
  7212.  
  7213.  
  7214.  
  7215. <p>However, the Pura 70 Ultra takes things up a notch. It&rsquo;s the only one of the three with a 1-inch sensor, and the first phone in the world with a retractable zoom lens. This mirrors what you&rsquo;ll find on DSLR cameras and allows it to capture far more light than a regular smartphone.&nbsp;</p>

  7251. <p>Huawei says the pop-out mechanism has been tested for 300,000 retraction cycles, equivalent to 150 per day for five years. And if you drop it from 0.2m or higher, the camera will automatically retract.&nbsp;</p>
  7252.  
  7253.  
  7254.  
  7255. <p>Impressively, rather than negatively impacting the water and dust resistance, the IP68 rating here is verified to 2m underwater rather than the usual 1.5m.&nbsp;</p>
  7256.  
  7257.  
  7258.  
  7259. <p>There&rsquo;s also some variation when it comes to supporting lenses. The 12Mp telephoto on the regular Pura 70 actually has a longer 5x optical zoom than the 3.5x on the Pro (48Mp) and Ultra (50Mp), but the latter is more versatile for day-to-day usage.&nbsp;</p>
  7260.  
  7261.  
  7262.  
  7263. <p>Elsewhere, the 40Mp ultrawide on the Ultra will also probably be a big step up from the 12.5Mp sensor on the Pro and 13Mp lens on the regular Pura 70. 13Mp selfie lenses are consistent across all three.&nbsp;</p>

  7346.  
  7347. <p>By contrast, Huawei&rsquo;s ongoing US trade ban means its HarmonyOS software misses out. While loosely based on Android, many of the most popular apps in Europe are missing, such as WhatsApp, Facebook (main app and Messenger), Snapchat, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+.&nbsp;</p>
  7348.  
  7349.  
  7350.  
  7351. <p>Some workarounds are available, but it&rsquo;s a frustrating and time-consuming process. Ultimately, unless you are a camera enthusiast who doesn&rsquo;t mind spending a lot of money on a device that probably won&rsquo;t be your main phone, you&rsquo;re better off elsewhere.&nbsp;</p>
  7352.  
  7353.  
  7354.  
  7355. <p>It&rsquo;s a real shame, as the Pura 70 Ultra, in particular, has strong specs in all other areas. Alongside the cameras, you get a high-quality 6.8-inch 120Hz OLED screen, powerful Kirin 9010 chipset and stunning vegan leather back. &nbsp;</p>

  7399. <p>On the UK, Huawei told Tech Advisor the following: &ldquo;Pura70 series will be available in overseas markets from the 2nd May. The UK is not included in the first wave of markets; however, Huawei continually evaluates the regional availability of its flagship products and we will share more information about Pura70 Ultra availability in the UK in the coming months.&rdquo;</p>

  7401.  
  7402.

  7421.  
  7422. <p>We thought Apple forgot about the spring event this year for good, but the company has surprised us.</p>
  7423.  
  7424.  
  7425.  
  7426. <p>The May event, complete with the tagline of &lsquo;Let Loose&rsquo;, is expected to focus on the next-generation&nbsp;<a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/724909/best-ipads.html">iPads</a>.</p>
  7427.  
  7428.  
  7429.  
  7430. <p>Here are all the key details, including how to watch live and everything we&rsquo;re expecting.</p>
  7431.  
  7432.  
  7433.  
  7434. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="when-is-the-next-apple-event">When is the next Apple event?</h2>
  7435.  
  7436.  
  7437.  
  7438. <p>As confirmed by the tech giant, the <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/743810/when-is-the-next-apple-event.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/743810/when-is-the-next-apple-event.html">next Apple event</a> will take place <strong>on 7 May 2024</strong> at 7am PT, which translates to 10am EDT or 3pm BST (UK time).</p>
  7439.  
  7440.  
  7441.  
  7442. <p>Just like nearly every other Apple event, you&rsquo;ll be able to watch the action unfold in real time through a dedicated livestream.</p>
  7443.  
  7444.  
  7445.  
  7446. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="how-to-watch-apples-spring-event-2024">How to watch Apple&rsquo;s spring event 2024</h2>
  7447.  
  7448.  
  7449.  
  7450. <p>While Apple once required the use of Safari or an Apple product to watch its livestreams, it has dropped the barriers in recent years, allowing basically anybody on any device to tune in to its events via the Apple website.</p>
  7451.  
  7452.  
  7453.  
  7454. <p>However, it&rsquo;s easiest to watch the Apple&rsquo;s spring event live via its <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=803X112721&amp;url=https://www.youtube.com/@Apple&amp;xcust=4-1-741176-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.techadvisor.com/feed" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/@Apple" rel="nofollow">YouTube channel</a>. The stream is embedded below, so check back here when it starts to watch live.</p>
  7455.  
  7456.

  7460. </div></figure>
  7461.  
  7462.  
  7463.  
  7464. <p>Alternatively, you&rsquo;ll be able to watch the September Event via the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://apple.sjv.io/c/312327/435031/7613?subId1=4-1-741176-1-0-0&amp;u=https://www.apple.com/apple-events/" target="_blank">Apple Event website</a>, as well as via the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac.</p>
  7465.  
  7466.  
  7467.  
  7468. <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="what-will-apple-announce-at-its-spring-2024-event">What will Apple announce at its spring 2024 event?</h2>
  7469.  
  7470.  
  7471.  
  7472. <p>As usual, Apple hasn&rsquo;t give much away with regards to what will be announced. However, there have been a number of rumours about how and when the new iPads will be released, with the recent ones poiting to early May.</p>
  7473.  
  7474.  
  7475.  
  7476. <p>And indeed, the invitation image of the &lsquo;Let Loose&rsquo; event shows an artistic render of an Apple Pencil, suggesting that <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/article/724909/best-ipads.html">iPads</a> will be a focus of the event.</p>

It really only lacks a pressure sensor. But bear in mind that its short battery life and long charging time mean that you&rsquo;ll need to keep it on the stand. If you can&rsquo;t do this, it may not be worth it.</p>

  7557. <p>How much should you spend on an electric toothbrush? To some extent, the answer will depend on your dental needs. If you have braces, very sensitive teeth, or need to overhaul your brushing technique, you should probably invest more in a toothbrush now to avoid spending a whole lot more on your teeth later on. Smart features and a wide range of brushing modes could make a genuine difference to your dental health.</p>
  7558.  
  7559.  
  7560.  
  7561. <p>But for a large number of people, especially those who&rsquo;ve always used a manual brush and are considering the leap to an electric toothbrush for the first time, $28/&pound;25 could be all you need to spend.</p>

But it&rsquo;s easy to hold, even when wet, thanks to its wide, slightly tapered handle, with has a texturised rubber grip. The indentations in the grip can harbour toothpaste, so you&rsquo;ll need to clean it regularly to keep it in good shape.</p>

  7685. <p>Switch on the Vitality Pro and it goes into Sensitive Plus mode, which is a slow, low cleaning mode. If you don&rsquo;t have sensitive teeth, this mode won&rsquo;t be very useful. But if you&rsquo;re sharing a brush with a child, it could help them get comfortable using an electric toothbrush.</p>
  7686.  
  7687.  
  7688.  
  7689. <p>The second mode is Sensitive and the third is Daily. These are both useful modes, and one will be your go-to, depending on your preference. I found the Daily mode to be the best fit for me.</p>
  7690.  
  7691.  
  7692.  
  7693. <figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>When it comes to brushing performance, I&rsquo;d happily use it every day</p></blockquote></figure>
  7694.  
  7695.  
  7696.  
  7697. <p>The next thing to discuss is the brush&rsquo;s noise level. It&rsquo;s fairly quiet &ndash; quieter than an Oral-B iO &ndash; but it&rsquo;s clear that the motor is fairly basic, which means it makes a mechanical, rattly noise when switched on, with a higher pitched noise that kicks in on the faster modes. I found the brush noise intrusive at first but after using it for a couple of weeks, I&rsquo;d grown used to it and didn&rsquo;t notice it.</p>
  7698.  
  7699.  
  7700.  
  7701. <p>The Vitality Pro has a brushing alert every thirty seconds to let you know to move on to the next quadrant of your mouth and a longer alert after two minutes. But the brush doesn&rsquo;t switch off after the dentist-approved brushing time, so you&rsquo;ll need to make sure you don&rsquo;t zone out and forget where you are. If you miss the longer alert, you&rsquo;ll get a regular alert 30 seconds later, and so on.</p>
  7702.  
  7703.  
  7704.  
  7705. <p>There&rsquo;s one key brushing indicator that the Vitality Pro is missing &ndash; a pressure sensor. We think this is a key feature of any electric toothbrush. If you tend to mash the bristles on your brush, it&rsquo;s a sign you brush too hard and could be damaging your gums and tooth enamel. A toothbrush with a pressure sensor will help you correct that. All Oral-B iO brushes have a pressure sensor. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  7706.  
  7707.  
  7708.  
  7709. <figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>Battery life is where the big compromise between price and performance lies</p></blockquote></figure>
  7710.  
  7711.  
  7712.  
  7713. <p>I swapped the Oral-B iO brush I use on a daily basis for the Vitality Pro to see how different the brushing experience was. Overall, although I didn&rsquo;t think it was quite as effective as the iO (which both oscillates and vibrates, for improved plaque removal) it&rsquo;s certainly good enough to give your teeth a proper clean. When it comes to brushing performance, I&rsquo;d happily use it every day.</p>
  7714.  
  7715.  
  7716.  
  7717. <p>But then there&rsquo;s the battery life issue, and this is where the big compromise between price and performance lies. The Vitality Pro has a maximum battery life of 8 days &ndash; and that&rsquo;s if you brush twice daily for two minutes and stop precisely at that point. If you run over a few times, you&rsquo;ll get around a week of use. If two people are sharing, that gives you only 4 days before you need to recharge.</p>
  7718.  
  7719.  
  7720.  
  7721. <p>There are other battery-related issues as well. There&rsquo;s no battery indicator on the brush, which means there&rsquo;s no way to tell when it&rsquo;s close to running out of juice: at some point, it just stops. If you take it on holiday, you&rsquo;ll need to ensure it&rsquo;s fully charged before you go &ndash; and even then, if it starts up in your bag, you may not get a full week of use. The lack of an indicator light means that you won&rsquo;t know when it&rsquo;s fully charged either.</p>

  7723.  
  7724.  
  7725. <p>Finally, when it comes to charging, it needs a whopping 22 hours to go from flat to full. None of the battery issues are a dealbreaker if you&rsquo;re prepared to keep the Vitality Pro on its charging stand between brushing sessions. If your bathroom isn&rsquo;t set up for this, the low price may not be worth the hassle.</p>

For your money, you&rsquo;ll get three brushing modes and good brushing performance. It&rsquo;s missing a pressure sensor, but that won&rsquo;t be a dealbreaker for everyone. The real issue is its short battery life and long charging time. If you&rsquo;re happy to keep it on its stand, it&rsquo;s a bargain.</p>
