  Poco F6 Pro review: Two-minute review
  Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has sub-brands, with Redmi already having built a strong reputation, but you should also start to take notice of Poco. The latter originally launched as Poco by Xiaomi, though it soon spun off as its own independent brand while remaining under the Xiaomi umbrella.Poco aims to provide customers with "everything you need, nothing you don’t" – delivering devices for those on strict budgets, promising to offer near-premium s

• Democrats train fire on Musk as unelected billionaire dips in popularity

  Leaders on left bet on Musk’s bravado to pull party out of political weeds as CEO eyes social security and health cutsFor most of the 17-minute interview, Elon Musk stuck to a script. He was just a tech guy on a mission to “eliminate waste and fraud” from government.His slash-and-burn cost-cutting crusade was making “good progress actually”, he told the Fox Business commentator Larry Kudlow on Monday, despite sparking a backlash that has reverberated far beyond Wash

• This powerful phone charger has been making faces at me, but I kinda love it

  Anker Charger 140W, 4-Port, PD 3.1 review
  The Anker Charger 140W, 4-Port, PD 3.1 – that’s a bit of a mouthful isn’t it. But don’t be fooled, this charger isn’t compensating for anything with its epic name. With four ports, an admirable maximum power output of 140W and even its own display, this charger is undoubtedly a top performer. But is it worth its high asking price of $89.99 / £89.99?Well, if we’re talking about performance, the answer is yes. You

• I tried the AOHI Future Starship, and while it charges laptops with ease, it’s likely not worth the price for many

  16-03-2025 20:00 via techradar.com
  
  AOHI Future Starship review
  The AOHI Future Starship is a large power bank with plenty of power to charge large devices on the go.It adopts what you might call a cyberpunk aesthetic, with yellow markings and accents imparting a futuristic industrial look. The overall form is also reminiscent of some kind of a sci-fi gadget, injecting some interest in the typically straight-laced world of power bank design.No doubt some will like it and others will hate it, but it’s not brash enough to tota

• The VQ Cath Kidston 5,000mAh Power Bank is one of the most stylish batteries I’ve seen, but it’s too slow for the price

  16-03-2025 18:00 via techradar.com
  
  VQ Cath Kidston 5,000mAh Power Bank review
  The VQ Cath Kidston 5,000mAh Power Bank is a small power bank with a design that makes it a fashion accessory as well as a portable battery. The Cath Kidston crossover means you get the brand’s illustrative designs. The bee print finish of the model I had was rather subtle, with its cream background and the small drawings lacking any vivid colors.If you want a little more vibrancy, two more finishes are available, both floral in nature, and incorp

• I tested the VRURC T6S power bank for several days – and I was pleasantly surprised by this clever feature

  16-03-2025 16:00 via techradar.com
  
  VRURC T6S power bank review
  The T6S is a small power bank with an eye-catching appearance. The light pink colorway of my review unit was certainly striking, and the small rainbow stripe adds a nice accent to the overall finish. It also comes in black, white, and light blue finishes.Quite why it has the design of a digital camera from 20 years ago I’m not sure, but this does lend it a fun, retro charm. The faux camera lens also cleverly doubles as an LED display, which is very bright and cl

• The Horipad Turbo might not be the feature-rich Nintendo Switch controller of your dreams, but it’s still a worthwhile budget pick

  Horipad Turbo: One-minute review
  It’s hard to find good Nintendo Switch controllers at the $30 / £30 price mark. Typically, budget gamepads around this point simply don’t feel all that great to play with and often have a build quality that leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Horipad Turbo, a budget Switch controller that certainly has some of the hallmarks of a cheap pad, but manages to make up for it in other key areas.Obvio
