1 SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 • From £739, samsung.com Sometimes the smallest changes have the biggest impact, a notion Samsung is seemingly throwing its weight behind with the Galaxy S9. At first glance, it’s easy to assume that Samsung’s new flagship smartphone is little more than a refined version of last year’s S8, with an almost identical hardware suite packed into a lush slab of metal and glass. Look closer, however, and you’ll notice some pleasing tweaks and innovations. Although the S9 has the same screen as the S8 – a 5.8-inch (6.2-inch on the S9+) QHD+ Super AMOLED display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio – Samsung has chosen to tweak the landscape mode so that the entire user interface now rotates to fit the widescreen format. The big news with the…

THE HAIR David Beckham has been mastering the slicked-back look for years. To achieve a similar style you’ll need a pocket comb and a styling product that’s malleable and not too greasy, like Uppercut’s Deluxe Pomade (£14.50, mankind.co.uk). THE COAT Heads were turned when David stepped out in this green overcoat at the Louis Vuitton Menswear Fall/Winter 2018-19 show. We also like Acne Studio’s Midox khaki overcoat (£650, acnestudios.com/uk). THE SHOES Here David wears the Signature Leather Sneakers from his own label (£175, kentandcurwen.com), demonstrating how versatile spotless white trainers are.…

MSR WINDBURNER STOVE SYSTEM For cooking on a windy beach or mountain slope, MSR’s windproof radiant burner and pressure regulator are ideal. The stove system also comes with a ceramic-coated 2.5 litre sauce pot and handy eight-inch skillet. £230, msrgear.com LEATHERMAN SQUIRT PS4 It’s illegal (possibly) to go camping without a penknife or multi-tool. Leatherman’s stainless steel beast boasts nine tools, including bottle opener, scissors and knife, to open, cut and prep food in your campsite kitchen. £49.95, leatherman.co.uk HELINOX TABLE ONE Avoid chopping a hole in your leg as you dice those vegetables for dinner with this lightweight (638g) collapsible table.

Following a catastrophic visit to the local grease-slinger, during which repairs were advised for Guru’s clapped-out set of wheels that totalled far more than the car itself, he was given free reign to make a ‘sensible’ purchase to benefit the family. GaGu selected a nearly new Peugeot 2008 in Allure trim (from £16,969, though Guru paid a fair chunk less). Its Android Autocompatible head unit might have swayed his decision just a teensy little bit. It’s like a leap into the future considering his former car had only three working speakers and an engine compartment that smelled like fire. GaGu’s investment in a newish car means his more frivolous purchasing has been curtailed for a little while. Guru would love to drop some money on a computer. The new Dell…

NEW ROUTINE Head to Yonomi’s Routines tab, and hit the plus button to create something new. Give it a suitable name, and tap Add Event. Select location, then tap the cog next to it and select the Home option. WHAT TO DO Tap Add Action, and select one of your devices. On the next screen, determine exactly what you’d like it to do, then repeat the process for all the devices you’d like to trigger. If you make a mistake, swipe the action away. CONDITIONS Use the conditions section to determine when you’d like your routine to trigger – on a weekday, for instance, and after 5pm. When you’re done, tap the check, then press the play button to trigger it manually and test it.…

01 FOLLOW A TRAINING PLAN The Wattbike Hub app has various training plans, and when available, following a professional plan is the best way to train. It should mean consistency, peaking at key times and building volume and intensity safely. 02 TAKE THE TESTS Ranging from 3-20 minutes, again the Wattbike Hub app has excellent (ie masochistic) tests to help determine your level of fitness, simultaneously pinpointing key areas of weakness to work on. 03 COMPETE WITH FRIENDS AND STRANGERS All three apps encourage friendly competition and suggest challenges to join. Though you shouldn’t necessarily do every session at full pelt, they’re great for keeping training motivating and fun. If it’s enjoyable, you’re more likely to stick at it. 04 CROSSTRAIN The Skillmill and Skillrow encourage a workout for more of…

Actually, that’s underselling it. It’s a small nuclear warhead in sheep’s clothing. Somehow, Apple has packed a workstation with up to an 18-core Intel processor in a frame the exact size of the regular 5K iMac. The only thing more incredible than the engineering feat of producing it is the price you might pay for one. But this a truly pro machine, and that kind of power comes at a cost. Specs appeal Apple provided…

Unlike the Amazon Echo, Google Home or Sonos One, it’s reliant on you having an Apple device to make it function at all, let alone play music. If you want to ask Siri to play music, you’ll need an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription. You can also stream any sound you like to it, but only over AirPlay, Apple’s streaming tech, built into its own products. Its Apple-centrism does make it…

MATT BOLTON Editor This month, Matt led turning the Hot 100 (p34) from a vague cloud of ideas into a real list. He can’t remember the last time he saw a screen that didn’t have a giant Google Doc on it. JO GULLIVER Senior Art Editor Jo took on the vital role of checking our height in this issue’s Man vs Tech feature testing drop-proof gadgets (p84). Admittedly, choosing someone who’s only 5’ 3” did make things a bit awkward. ANDREW WESTBROOK Operations Editor Is monitoring the air itself (p70) taking the quantified smart home too far? Not for Andy, who’s determined to eliminate dust from his life completely and become our very own Howard Hughes. SPENCER HART Product & Style Editor, T3.com What’s the most stressed you’ve ever been?

Buying off the rack has its place, but there are occasions when a custom suit is best. Perhaps you’re getting married or have a new job that requires you to don a suit. If so, a tailored two-piece is a sound investment. So where do you go? Savile Row, of course. London’s most famous sartorial street is home to many iconic tailors including Cad & The Dandy (cadandthedandy.co.uk), a revered tailoring house that’s dressed celebrities such as Noel Gallagher and Chris Eubank. We recently spoke to Cad & The Dandy’s Chrissey Sullivan to learn more about the process of buying a bespoke suit, which begins with booking a consultation. “Choose your cloth and styling details, have your measurements taken and from here the making process begins,” says Chrissey. “After this…

Imagine go-karting surrounded by the stunning icebergs of Alaska or the azure waters of the Caribbean. Well, there’s no need to just imagine, thanks to the Norwegian Bliss cruise liner, launching this June. Norwegian is known for its good range of restaurants, bars and hot tubs on board its 16-ship fleet, but that sweeping new racetrack plus a space-themed laser tag course on the Bliss (from $1,049, bliss. ncl.com) gives you two new reasons to sail. Want to order drinks, make dinner reservations and book shore excursions from your smartphone while on the water? You can do so with Celebrity Cruises Virtual Concierge app when sailing on the company’s newest ship, the Celebrity Edge (from $599, celebritycruises.com). It’s also home to the cruise world’s first cantilevered floating platform, known as…

New FailSafe tech offers optimised braking-force distribution, superior shock absorption and the strongest tyre bed of its type.

Kitchen gadgets designed to get us eating healthier are proving to be as popular as ever, and right now the gadget of the moment is the airfryer, which cooks food using hot air rather than buckets of greasy oil. The idea is that your food will taste just like it’s been fried, but it will be much healthier for you, not to be mention less messy to cook and serve. The Philips Airfryer (£180, philips.co.uk), for example, cooks chips with 80 per cent less fat than usual. This countertop machine also grills, roasts and bakes food. Elsewhere the attractive Tefal ActiFry Express XL (£149.99, amazon.co.uk) is all about speed, promising to airfry chips within 30 minutes without any preheating or stirring. Fast food and better for you!…

1 SUUNTO SMART SENSOR How hard are you really working? How hard should you be working? Some coaches swear by heart rate (HR) data as the most accurate gauge of athletic effort, but also of general health, to help avoid overtraining or a low immune system. Suunto’s comfortable option works in the swimming pool, too. £65, suunto.com 2 OPTOMA NUFORCE BE SPORT3 Get in the zone with the help of Meatloaf in your lugs and listen to clear video instructions via these premium wireless sports earphones, boasting sound isolation, 8-10 hours of battery, and astounding audio quality.

You may have comes across the term ‘Military Standard MIL-STD-810G Tested’ when browsing new tech, but do you know what it means? Well, in 1965 the US military devised a series of tests to evaluate the durability of essential equipment. These hardcore tests have since been commandeered by the tech world. They focus primarily on a product’s drop and shock limits, but also include extreme temperature, humidity and durability. V-Moda’s armoured Crossfade 2 Wireless headphones (£300, v-moda.com) wear their MIL-STD-810G badge with pride – they’re unphased by big drops, the SteelFlex headband is practically indestructible, and the cables can withstand one million bends before giving up the ghost.…

I’ve used a lot of different machines for high-end video editing, and I’ve never really cared which brand logo they have stencilled onto their chassis as long as they do the job. And I ask a lot from them. Now that 4K video is the norm in my sector of the industry, this has really put the cat among the pigeons when it comes to performance – doing anything in real-time with a timeline full of Ultra HD clips tends to bring a lot machines to their knees. When the iMac Pro came in I was thrilled to get the chance to see how it coped… Let’s get this out of the way quickly: the iMac Pro is gorgeous. I’ve always been a fan of the iMac’s aesthetics but this…

Every year, T3 runs down the most important gadgets, people and developments in tech that will shape things to come. It’s the Hot 100, and I’m really excited to bring you this year’s list, starting on p34! We started with a spreadsheet of hundreds of potential entries, thrown in by the whole T3 team. It was a hell of a thing, and we were still adding to it even as we tried frantically to cut it down. It took days to sort through, camped out as close to the office coffee machine as possible, but we got there. We wrestled (almost literally) a lot over what should come first, and you could make a case for so many things near the top of the list, but I think our winner…

There’s no console/screen provided with the Wattbike, so you need to use your smartphone or tablet, which clips securely on in front of you. This doesn’t feel like a flaw or disappointment, quite the opposite in fact, as most users will be more familiar with how their smartphone works anyway. Plus, it means workout data goes straight into your device and the excellent Wattbike Hub app, rather than relying on a post-workout sync. The Skillrow and Skillmill do have native screens, displaying reams of stats as you sweat away, but you can simply clip in your smartphone too (but not yet a tablet), for additional performance feedback and to capture your workout’s key stats, or watch instructional technique videos.…

THE MISSION We’ve had enough accidents with tech to know that not all gadgets are created equal. With companies making some pretty bold claims about how tough their products are, we want to see if these supposedly drop-proof gadgets live up to their ambitious billing. How? By getting hardcore tech tester Chris Barnes to launch them from the top of a ladder onto a concrete floor, obviously. Picture the scene: your beloved smartphone plummets towards the ground, seemingly in slo-mo, as you helplessly watch the carnage unfold. We’ve all been there and the prognosis is rarely good – at best the phone still works, albeit with funky glitches, a compromised screen or some ugly cuts and bruises. At worst you face an eye-watering repair bill, a tortuous insurance claim or…

From £2,349 microsoft.com We loved the 13.5-inch version of the Surface Book 2 (reviewed back in issue 278) and now the 15-inch version is here, rocking – naturally – a bigger screen and even more performance. So much so, that in its field it’s unmatched by anything out there. But at £2,349, it’s also a serious wedge of money, commanding an additional £850 over the 13.5-inch model. Is the bigger, beefier model worth your cash? Bigger, but not quite… The Surface Book 2 looks exactly like the 13.5-inch model, but the 15-inch form factor means more width and length, though thickness is the same at just 15-23mm. It’s also an extra 370g. Physically, they’re not that different, despite the extra screen space. A bump in resolution to 3240x2160 makes up…

OLED 4K TV SONY A1E SERIES Incredible 4K HDR is only a tiny part of this awesome package. The panel (55-or 65-inch) and bezel are super-slim, it offers lightning response times, and great sound comes from a screen that’s also a speaker. From £2,800, sony.co.uk TOP-END 4K TV LOEWE BILD 9 Loewe creates art just as much as it does high-end AV equipment, and its towering, sculptural Bild 9 TV is as attractive as it is exquisitely powerful, with a hidden soundbar and top picture quality. £8,990, loewe.tv VALUE 4K BLU-RAY PLAYER XBOX ONE S Yes, this is primarily a games console, but it’s a damn good UHD Blu-ray player too. Why pay more for something that just plays discs when you could be getting your game on with the…
