SEVEN SEAS HERMES SPEEDSTER BOAT The 1959 Porsche 356 Speedster is one of history’s most-loved sports cars, and this handsome boat is modelled on the look of that iconic Porsche, as well as ‘Gentleman’s Runabout’ boats from the 1930s. The Hermes Speedster fits five, and will glide through water up to a maximum speed of 45mph. The boat is crafted by architect Nicolas Politis and team in Greece, and has a convertible roof to protect you during different types of weather. If you’ll be driving it through colder months, you have the option of adding heating too. The Hermes Speedster has a low centre of gravity to boost stability on open water, and can carve through the water with a 72-degree access angle. That, combined with a hydrodynamic underwater hull,…

Our mission is to bring you the clearest recommendations we can – and that means a great deal of hard work happens before a product even reaches our pages! Because we only feature products the T3 team would happily use ourselves, we end up discarding a significant number of options in each category before settling on a final shortlist to review. We select only the best of the best for our Tested section; the gear we know you’ll want to seriously consider purchasing. And that should mean an end to you having to undertake hours of painstaking research and product comparisons. You won’t see any duff products, but you will come away with clarity on which one is the best in its category or for a specific task: our awards…

QUICK FIX TAKE A HIIT ON THIS AI BIKE Time poor but health conscious? Mark Mayne takes a look into the future of exercise, where HIIT meets AI bikes to bring rapid results Gym work might be a vital building block in your fitness routine, but it’s also not the most exciting place to while away an hour.

CAR.O.L claims you’ll get the same fitness benefit of a 45-minute jog in under nine minutes on this bike, with only 40 seconds of really hard work.

The Disto D1 laser measuring tool has a range of 40m and delivers quick and accurate readings on the fly. Sync it with the Disto Sketch app to create digital floor plans. £66, leicadisto.co.uk DEWALT XR BRUSHLESS CORDLESS COMBI DRILL An ergonomic design means this 65Nm, two-speed torque combi drill is easier to hold, with a rechargeable battery lasting 90 minutes at a time.

ALIENWARE CONCEPT UFO Why shouldn’t PC gaming be properly portable? And we’re not talking luggable laptops, here – we mean the sort of thing you can play on the bus. Taking more than a few design ideas from the Nintendo Switch (to the point that we imagine a few furrowed brows at Nintendo HQ), Dell’s concept device suggests the company could be set to make that a reality. It’s not a finished product just yet but expect an eight-inch display, detachable controllers, USB Type-C monitor connectivity and syrupy-smooth (if slightly dialled-back) PC games on the go. £TBC, alienware.com TCL X915 Expect to see a lot more of this company in 2020 as it breaks into the UK, and this TV will be one way it makes waves. It’s an 8K…

WHAT PERSONAL TECH DO YOU RELY ON THE MOST WHEN TRAVELLING THE WORLD? “I need my phone. I can never go anywhere without it. It’s naturally the single most important thing I have. It connects me, it keeps me going… within my business, but also connecting me with my friends and family, which is really difficult otherwise, particularly as I travel as much as I do. “My headphones. I travel with my Bose [Noise Cancelling Headphones] 700 everywhere I go. Honestly, I listen to music every single day. I don’t know if I could live without that.” WHAT OTHER TYPES OF TECH DO YOU TRAVEL WITH? “Otherwise, I travel with a game case. I’ll have a games console – I travel with my PlayStation everywhere – so that when I…

01 RAZER HAMMERHEAD USB-C ANC An absolutely superb set of earphones which power their ANC-capable DAC (and pull in audio) from a USB-C connector. Not so great for iPhone users, perhaps, but if you’re on Android they’re an incredibly effective way of cutting out the noise. £79, razer.com 02 TAOTRONICS ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES For this price, don’t expect high-end build quality or insane noise cancelling. Do expect good build quality, remarkably effective ANC, and a battery that keeps things quiet for a solid 15 hours on a full charge. £29, amazon.co.uk 03 BEOPLAY E4 Expect quality sound here, with B&O’s earphones offering great music playback and a quick transparency mode to let the outside in. The ANC box is a little large, though, so look elsewhere if you want…

We’re now over a decade into the mirrorless revolution. They’ve all but overtaken the old DSLR for non-pros, with a diverse range of options to suit every need, budget and skill level. Standing out in this crowded market is no easy task. With every major manufacturer offering at least one line of mirrorless cameras, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. To that end, we’ve selected three models that are all interesting in their own ways. The Nikon Z 50 comes hot on the heels of its full-frame siblings, offering a more affordable, mass-market product that is ideal for travel. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 comes to the market without a main rear screen, promising to make you a more considered photographer and stop you endlessly checking…

VODAFONE GIGACUBE From £50 a month and £50 up front, vodafone.co.uk Vodafone will happily sell you a 5G broadband package that includes a device called a GigaCube – essentially a rebranded Huawei hotspot device that works with both 5G and 4G networks. Place it in the centre of your home, and if your house is within solid pinging distance of a 5G-enabled cell tower, you can get those super-fast connection speeds sweeping all around your house, as well as those superlow latency times for getting online. Up to 64 different devices can be connected to the GigaCube at once, so it’s a realistic alternative to having a conventional broadband router installed – 18-month and 30-day contract plans are available, with data allowances going all the way up to unlimited. NETGEAR…

SPECIFICATIONS OS Windows 10 Home Processor Intel Core i7 1.8GHz Graphics Nvidia GeForce MX250 2GB Memory 16GB Screen 14-inch 1920x1080 (main), 12.6-inch 1920x515 (ScreenPad Plus) Connectivity 2x USB 3.1, USB-C, HDMI, audio jack, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5 Dimensions 323x223x20mm Weight 1.5kg From £1,499 asus.com While the idea of dual-screened devices is still interesting, it’s a far cry from being original. Apple’s recent foray into slim Touch Bars on MacBooks is fundamentally a very selectively implemented second screen; Microsoft’s promised Surface Neo is the final extent of the concept. With that in mind, we tried to repress our childlike wonder when Asus revealed the Zenbook Duo. Maybe we shouldn’t give bonus points for doing what Nintendo did in 2004, but when something looks this cool, it’s hard not to get swept…

1 LENOVO THINKPAD X1 FOLD • From £1,920 (approx), lenovo.com Lenovo is preparing to launch what it’s touting as “the world’s first foldable PC”. The result of a four-year collaboration with LG Display, and first unveiled as a prototype last summer, the ThinkPad X1 Fold is a (literally) flexible device that marries advanced multimedia capability with smartphone portability. Built with lightweight alloys/carbon fibre and sheathed in a smart leather cover, it can be folded out flat into tablet form, its vivid 13.3-inch OLED display and Dolby Audio technology making it a dream for watching movies or box sets on the go. Or, if you need to do some work, you can fold it into a right angle, flip down the optional Fold Stand and use it like a laptop, Lenovo’s…

SWATCH BIG BOLD JELLY A throwback to the legendary Swatch ‘Jelly Fish’ from 1983. A fully transparent case displays this watch’s technological core, while hands infused in blue, red and yellow finish the look. £85, shop.swatch.com HUBLOT BIG BANG INTEGRAL The first Big Bang to feature an integrated bracelet – this watch has been designed to flow seamlessly from the case to the clasp. Available in black ceramic, King Gold or titanium. £17,300, hublot.com ZENITH DEFY 21 LAND ROVER EDITION Made to celebrate the new generation of Land Rover Defender, this features a 1/100th of a second chronograph, and a case made from micro-blasted titanium for toughness and lightness. £11,400, zenith-watches.com TAG HEUER CARRERA 160 YEARS SILVER LTD EDTN Limited to just 1,860 examples – a nod to the year…

Fifteen years ago, the most popular phone anywhere was the Motorola Razr. Before the touchscreen revolution changed the world of phones forever, the Razr was the pinnacle of design – it was the thinnest clamshell phone on the market, and looked impossibly futuristic thanks to its keyboard made from a single metal sheet. Now that the era of flexible screens has arrived, it’s time for the Razr to become a design icon again. A new version has just been released, available now exclusively on EE, with a 6.2-inch folding screen at its heart. Open, it’s an Android smartphone with generously-sized display; closed, it’s more compact for carrying that big screen around. The 2020 Razr is another technology trail-blazer – it’s the first folding phone that closes completely, with no gap…

01 LENS RANGE Take a look at a company’s website to see which optics they offer, especially if you’re after something specialist, such as an ultra-wide angle or macro lens. Newer systems will offer fewer options – of our cameras, that’s most relevant to the Nikon. Adapters are available, but these can case issues with automated lens features. 02 VIEWFINDER Not all mirrorless cameras are equipped with built-in viewfinders. If you’re jumping from a smartphone, you might not be that bothered, but a viewfinder is the preferred way to compose for many. The vast majority of mirrorless camera viewfinders are electronic (meaning they’re tiny screens), compared to the optical versions found on DSLRs. 03 SCREEN How the screen operates is worth considering. Some screens are fixed and don’t move, while…

Though most new TVs have every streaming service imaginable built in, we don’t all have new TVs. Updates with new apps can be hit and miss for existing TVs, so a streaming box can be the best way to upgrade which services you beam to your home. We know you’ll want to watch in the best possible image quality too, which is why we’ve taken a look at great boxes with 4K and HDR support, so you’ll get rich and detailed pictures. The Roku and Amazon sticks plug straight into your HDMI port (but need additional power), while the Apple and Nvidia boxes require HDMI cables – the Nvidia doesn’t come with one, mind. All are good, but which is right for you? 01 THE AUDIENCE-PLEASER ROKU STREAMING STICK+ £49,…

The start of the year is always a really exciting time for tech. CES always brings a flood of ideas, from the wild to the genius, that helps us see the landscape of the year. Then the post-Christmas drought of new releases ends and we actually get to try some of this great new stuff; and then Mobile World Congress arrives with a smörgåsbord of new phones to try. The latter hasn’t quite happened yet as I write this, but we’ll be heading out to Barcelona soon to see those new handsets, with all the details available next issue. In the meantime, there’s more than enough new gadgets to keep you sated in our Gadget Wishlist 2020 (p31), which gathers into one place all the products coming out this year…

Science is no stranger to noise cancelling. Dr Paul Lueg submitted his first patent for wavecancelling technology way back in 1933, designing a system that could be used to reduce vibrations in loudspeakers; the theory was sound, but the technology of the time did not allow for the equipment to be made. In the ’50s and ’60s, Dr Laurence Fogel continued similar research and issued patents for the first viable devices, designed to cancel the potentially harmful frequencies of helicopter cockpits. This time the tech was transferred from speakers to ear directly, using earphones to reduce the risk of more damaging audio feedback. Fogel, though considered the inventor of active noise cancellation, was not alone. Around the same time the US Air Force was working on a project to protect…

Just as there are three places to put the microphone in an ANC setup, there are three ways to do the cancellation itself, and each have their own benefits and drawbacks. Analogue ANC is the method that seems to make the most sense, because it removes latency from the equation. Using an analogue setup means devices can react instantly to changes in sound around them, meaning a theoretically more accurate anti-noise system. But the engineering required to create the perfect analogue ANC solution is astronomical and can be incredibly expensive. Analogue also drains far less battery than digital ANC – but digital ticks many more boxes. Because it generally employs a sophisticated DSP to do the grunt work, it gives you far more control over the sound mix than an…

SAMSUNG NOTE 10+ 5G From £1,099, samsung.com There’s no doubt that the Samsung Note 10+ 5G is one of the most powerful and premium Android handsets you can get your hands on at this moment in time – the spacious 6.3-inch screen, the top-of-the-line internal specs, the stylish modern looks, full waterproofing, wireless charging, and of course the integrated stylus (that’s going to raise eyebrows everywhere you pull it out). If you want the very best Google-powered phone at the moment, this is probably it… as long as you have deep enough pockets. Besides the 5G capabilities that get it into this list of smartphones in the first place, the Samsung Note 10+ 5G also offers a very capable triple-lens rear camera, with ultrawide capabilities and 2x optical zoom too.…

£579 samsung.com/uk The selling point of this phone might be to get 5G for a mid-range price (we’ve already seen it available for £499 shortly after launch), but while it doesn’t quite have the specs to match Samsung’s flagships, the A90 5G is still a very capable phone in its own right – it’s not just 5G connectivity that it’s got going for it. A good place to start is the bright and crisp 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, which is just as impressive as you would expect from Samsung. You get a decent triple-lens rear camera, and plenty of internal storage (128GB), plus the option to expand storage via memory card. Samsung makes some very smartly designed phones, and the A90 5G continues the trend. The only complaint you might have…
