Xiaomi’s Mi 11 flagship went on sale in Europe in February and now it’s the turn of the UK where the handset is finally available to pre-order for £749. Packing in the essential 2021 flagship specs such as the Snapdragon 888 chipset, a 120Hz AMOLED display, and a 108MP rear camera, the Mi 11 is a serious competitor to the Galaxy S21 in terms of hardware and price.

We reviewed the Red Magic 5G last year and found it to be an intriguing but flawed gaming smartphone with a stunning design, leaving us to hope that its successor would solve the issues we experienced.

Welcome to the dark side… there are no cookies but I don’t want to leave. This is a quick guide to enabling dark mode on Samsung’s One UI 3.1 on your brand new Galaxy S21 device to make your experience on the device easier on your eyes.
There are several reasons why we use dark mode. If you are photosensitive or dyslexic often a darker background helps reduce the glare of a bright, white screen and the harsh contrast of back text. It’s less intrusive; for example, if you are in a movie theater (in pre-covid days…) and want to check your phone; dark mode enables you to do this without blaring out ‘I’m using my phone’ to everyone. Sometimes you want to check your phone in bed but worry about disturbing your partner or waking yourself up by depleting that precious melatonin with bright light. Dark mode solves this easily. Join us after the break where we’ll show you how to enable Dark Mode on Samsung’s One UI 3.1.
Usually, we rely on the serial leakers to provide us with snippets of news in the lead-up to a smartphone launch but OnePlus has decided that if it can’t beat them, it will leak it first. Today’s snippet concerns the display of the OnePlus 9 Pro which sports Fluid Display 2.0 and has received A+ certification from DisplayMate.
2021 has been a little rocky for Stadia so far thanks to Google shuttering its in-house gaming studio before it managed to launch a single title due to the search giants’ switch to delivering third-party games to the service. With gaming titles such as PixelJunk Raiders and Madden NFL 21 recently launching on Stadia, there is still reason to be positive about Google’s cloud gaming platform, especially if you don’t want to blow a big wad of cash on the new Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5.
If you haven’t tried Stadia for yourself yet, there’s no better time to start than right now thanks to the Premiere Edition bundle with a controller and Chromecast Ultra being discounted to $60/£54 (RRP $99/£89) on the Google Store.
It’s been a couple of years since the original Home Hub Nest Hub launched and while it’s been one of the best smart displays available to purchase ever since Google has decided it’s time to announce its successor. The Nest Hub (2nd Gen) as it’s known, looks pretty much the same on the exterior but boasts some new features such as Soli radar, which was last seen on the Pixel 4 XL.
One of Dashlane’s coolest features is its ability to automatically change your passwords for you. That feature has been around for a while, and it’s still really cool, but it’s lost some effectiveness over the years.
Dashlane hopes to fix this and relight that spark with a totally revamped password changer for users, which is currently available in beta right now.
When we report on leaks we are usually sourcing material from well-known sources such as @OnLeaks and @evleaks, to name just a few. This time, we have Google to thank for adding a batch of new devices to its ARCore support page that included a number of unreleased and even unannounced smartphones, such as the Zenfone 8 Flip from ASUS.
We reviewed the Silicone Cover with S Pen for the Galaxy S21 Ultra and found it to something of a mixed bag and so we moved on to a different type of case, the UAG Civilian. Offering military-grade drop protection and a rugged yet lightweight design, the Civilian case from Urban Armor Gear retails at $49.95 and comes in a variety of colors, our unit is in the Olive colorway which features an orange accent.
Join us after the break for our thoughts on UAG’s Civilian case for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
We reviewed the affordable Realme 7 5G a little while ago and found that the Dimensity 800-powered handset offered everything you need at an affordable price. A few months later and we have the Realme 8 Pro that boasts a 2nd-generation 108MP sensor from Samsung and is set to launch on March 24th.
The OnePlus 9 series is scheduled to launch in a few days on March 23rd but that doesn’t mean that the brand (and its CEO) can’t get ahead of the usual array of leakers by posting some revealing images of the 9 Pro. Sporting the new ‘Morning Mist’ colorway, the OnePlus 9 Pro has been photographed lying around in some snow, looking positively majestic.
