PHILIPS WI-FI PALM RECOGNITION SMART DEADBOLT If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t unlock your house as easily as you can your car or phone, then your frustration is nearly at an end. Philips has announced a new top-of-the-range smart lock as part of its Home Access Smart Lock lineup, and it uses your palm rather than your fingertips to unlock your home. This works by recognising the unique pattern of veins each of us carries in our hands, which means you don’t actually have to touch the lock – proximity sensors detect your hand as you reach towards it – though you will need to take off your gloves. It has built-in Wi-Fi, and will interface with systems such as Alexa and Google Assistant. And although it hasn’t made…

1 PORSCHE MAYCAN From £69,800, porsche.com Porsche’s headlong dive into the EV space has been nothing short of stunning thus far. The awesome Taycan has basically knocked Tesla off of its high horse, with equivalent models managing to silence the Stuttgart company’s electric rival and excite drivers in equal measure. Cramming a battery into the established Maycan frame is Porsche’s next trick – and it might well shame the highly popular and really very good Tesla Model Y. It might feel unfair to compare the two so directly, but look at the specs: the two cars are virtually the same length (the two new Maycan models are just over an inch longer), the same wheelbase, the same width and the same ride height. They want the same drivers. And while…

1 DUMBBELL ROMANIAN DEADLIFT Hold a dumbbell in each hand, arms hanging straight down in front of you. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Maintain a straight back, hinge at the hips, and lower the dumbbells towards the ground while keeping them close to your body. Feel the stretch in your hamstrings without rounding your back excessively. Pause briefly at the bottom, then return to the starting position by engaging your hamstrings and glutes. 2 LATERAL BOUND Although a fancy way of leaping from side to side, the Lateral Bound takes a little practice. Stand with feet hip-width apart, maintaining good posture with chest up. Shift your weight onto one leg, slightly bending the knee. Explosively push off the grounded leg and jump laterally to the side, extending the opposite leg out. Land…

From £1,899 sony.co.uk Mini-LED televisions – which use smaller and multitudinous LEDs for greater backlight accuracy and brightness – were once pretty pricey. But those days are gone. Sony’s X95L is a case in point: it’s one of the company’s premium ranges, but it’s keenly priced. Sony is nothing if not a sensible company, and so it has done the sensible thing with the X95L and left well enough alone. At 62mm deep it’s not the slimmest option, and at 32kg is probably not ideal for hanging on a partition wall – but when viewed from the dead-ahead it’s an elegant and understated looker. The bezels are very brief indeed, and both the metal and plastic used in its construction look and feel reasonably premium. The screen is supplied with…

In the current economic climate, many of us are looking to save some I money, so your daily takeaway coffee is becoming increasingly hard to justify. While a full coffee station set-up is a real investment, bean-to-cup coffee machines can offer significant long-term savings while still allowing you to get a top-quality, barista-level caffeine fix to power you through the day. WHY ARE BEAN-TO-CUP COFFEE MACHINES BETTER? Compared to other coffee making methods, bean-to-cup coffee machines can come across as too technical, overly complicated and time-consuming. But while they might have additional parts and accessories compared to the simple kettle, bean-to-cup coffee machines are easier to set-up, maintain and use than you might think. But first, let’s look at the many different coffee makers you can buy today, and why…

BUY QUALITY BEANS If you don’t have high quality beans, you won’t get the best tasting coffee. In terms of roast types, light roasts offer a sharp acidity, vibrant flavour and are lighter in colour. Medium roasts have a more rounded flavour and can be quite sweet, fruity and smooth. Darker roasts have a deep smoky flavour and contain less caffeine. Check the freshness of the beans by the roasting date: for the best possible flavours, brew your beans from seven to 21 days after the roast date. GRIND TO PERFECTION Customise your grind to get the most out of your beans. You can usually choose between a coarse grind, a medium grind and a fine grind. Depending on how you like your coffee, play around with the grind settings…

1 PREPARE TO FAIL This essentially means work as hard as you can with good form, taking every set of whatever exercise you are doing to failure or as close as possible. “By taking each set to failure, you are making each set more stimulative,” Dr Wolf states. 2 TRY COMPOUND MOVEMENTS Plan a workout that involves exercises that incorporate a number of muscle groups. Things like the squat, the deadlift, the bench press and the pull-up all fall into this camp and can help stimulate overall growth better than specialist isolation exercises that generally take a lot longer to see results. 3 TRAIN BILATERALLY ‘Train bilaterally’ is sports science talk for prioritising those exercises that work both sides of your body, rather than honing in on single leg or arm movements. “When…

£299.99 philips.co.uk You’ll likely already know that the active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones market isn’t short of competition. But Philips needn’t shy away from its Sony or Bose competition: its Fidelio L4 over-ears have some seriously sophisticated features and deliver indulgent sound. If you were to place the Philips Fidelio L4 next to their older L3 equivalent then you’d not spot massive variations in appearance. However, the new model is marginally larger for an even better fit, with deeper earcups to accommodate more types of ear shapes and sizes. And that physical scale is going to be the main reason to buy or avoid them. While we wouldn’t call them massive headphones, compared to something like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, the Philips feel much larger. For some, this deeper earcup…

While I’m not naturally the most frugal of people, that all changes in the first season of the year. The combo of higher bills and the cumulative hangover of Consumer-mas and the party season usually makes my bank statements run redder than a Westeros wedding. So I tend to focus on spending imagination bucks at this time of year. All of this window shopping has resulted in some spectacular pretend purchases. KEF’s compact and beautifully balanced LSX II LT speakers are now metaphorically keeping my LG M4 wireless TV company on my make-believe entertainment centre. But no product was as easy to spend my made-up moolah on this month as Apple’s new $3,499 Vision Pro headset. If you’re more interested in making actual rather than artificial acquisitions, our expert eye…

1 APPLE WATCH ULTRA 2 Apple has been slowly but surely creeping up on more established fitness watch rivals when it comes to offering an impressive suite of biometric-tracking tech and activity-monitoring profiles. The Ultra 2 sits atop of the Apple Watch range and, alongside its incredibly tough build quality, the Ultra 2 offers unrivalled access to fitness data via Siri, as well as new gesture controls that make it easier to do smartwatch stuff, like answer emails, while working out. £799, apple.co.uk 2 MYZONE MZ SWITCH MyZone is novel in so much that it awards points for effort (via an app), which levels the playing field when it comes to fitness levels, as an elevated heart rate is all you need to climb the numerous leaderboards and nail the plethora of…

iFIT has a wealth of talented trainers at its disposal but none have quite the style and charisma of Knox Robinson. The New York native has chalked up nearly 100 videos on the platform, with series visiting South Africa, Kenya, Mexico City and many more. His authentic and relaxed style has made him a popular choice for new and advanced runners alike, both on the iFIT platform and beyond. So we were keen to find out more about the advice Robinson would give those looking to either start or take their running up a notch in 2024. RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION One of the main measurements used across all iFIT workouts is the rate of perceived exertion or RPE. This allows runners, as well as cyclists and rowers, to put…

From £1,249 samsung.com Do you want the best Android phone that you are likely to get your hands on in 2024? Of course you do, but you are going to need some deep pockets to make it happen. So what can you expect if you decide to make the move to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra? Let’s start by talking about the asking price. Make no mistake the Ultra is no budget device. But, in our opinion it represents good value with the upgrades the 2024 model brings. And it’s worth noting that Apple’s equivalent, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, is even pricier than the S24. Forgetting the price, what else does the graceful Samsung have to offer? The titanium build is particularly eye-catching. It’s a very different finish compared…
