OSCAL Pilot 6: 30-second review The Oscal Pilot 6 is a rugged Android phone designed for anyone working outdoors who needs a phone that can withstand far more than a standard commercial model. The design is rugged and, whilst it’s slightly larger than a standard phone, its plastic reinforced casing keeps it from being overly large, and it will just about slip into a pocket. The bulk and weight, while more than your average consumer phone, is still less than many other larger rugged smartphones. Still, it’s nicely designed with the usual industrial design aesthetic synonymous with rugged smartphones. It’s comfortable to hold and use, and when it comes to that ruggedness, it offers IP68/IP69 and MIL-STD-810H ratings, highlighting that it can withstand significant abuse. What makes this phone stand out against many of the other rugged smartphones is that it not only features all the usual camera spe...

Keurig K-Mini Mate: one-minute review Keurig’s range of coffee makers is among the most popular available in the U.S., rivalling the likes of Nespresso and Ninja. Released in 2025, the Keurig K-Mini Mate is the brand’s smallest brewer to date, measuring just nine inches tall and four inches wide, with a modern matte design that’s available in four different colours. While this coffee maker is the most compact in Keurig’s range, it still offers the same quality we’ve come to expect from the brand, delivering bold, flavorsome single-serve brews between 6oz and 12oz.

(Image credit: Future) We found the brewing process for a 12-oz cup took around 1 minute 40 seconds from start to finish, including heating time. Likewise, cleaning the machine requir...

There are bound to be many people reading this review and wondering why something that should have been covered a decade ago has resurfaced on our site. And, it is true that Seagate launched the IronWolf 8TB model in 2016, hardware that is hardly considered current in 2026. But this review isn’t covering the mechanism that Seagate launched then, the ST8000VN0022, thankfully. Instead, it is the one that came after that in 2019, the ST8000VN004. For complete transparency, they released a newer option, the ST8000VN002, in 2021, but during my review, I’ll explain the differences and why you might want one over the other. OK, I accept that this model has been around for 8 years, almost, but we’re exceptionally busy here at Tech Radar Pro, and we get to things eventually. The fundamentals of the 8TB IronWolf have been remarkably stable across the past decade. Every generation has used CMR recording, ...
