Nomu S30 review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Nomu S30 passed our durability tests with only superficial damage to the rubber case, standing up to both dunking in water and a launch across our patio. It has a large, bright screen, and decent performance for most users, but falls down on its camera quality, size and weight. The S30 is Nomu’s flagship Android phone, a handset that matches decent specifications with a tough titanium alloy shell and rubber protection at the corners....

Amazfit Pace review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Amazfit Pace is a solid smartwatch if you’re after GPS tracking without breaking the bank. It records runs and walks very well, is a passable notifications device and is very good looking.

Update 15 March:The House of Lords’ science and technology committee has called for motorists to sit new tests for driverless cars because they pose a safety risk in semi-autonomous mode....

Huawei Fit review: An affordable smartwatch with an 8-day battery life Expert’s Rating Our Verdict There’s plenty to like here, from the extremely good battery life and decent water resistance rating to that always-on time display. Heart rate monitors aren’t a given in this class of wearable and swim-tracking is an unexpected bonus. And it looks ok, especially if you swap in a third-party strap. But it feels cheap, and perhaps more worryingly, it isn’t particularly cheap – the price tag isn’t really low enough to compensate for the missing features (such as GPS) or the dim and sluggish display....
