Zoner Studio photo editor (2026) review

Image
Looking after your photos, cataloguing them, colour correcting them, improving them and all round preserving them is a job onto itself, and you need an excellent application to sort all of this for you, and more. Thankfully, there are a host of options for you to choose from out there, which creates a whole other problem onto its own: which one should you choose? I’ve looked at a few in the past, but now, it’s time to explore Zoner Studio. It's effectively a Windows-only take on both Photoshop and Lightroom. An entry-level or intermediate photo editor and organizer that stacks up as one of the best Adobe Photoshop alternatives for those new to this type of software.

Garmin Cirqa review: sorry Fitbit, but this is 2026's best screenless smart band

Image
Garmin Cirqa: One minute review (Image credit: Future) I’ve spent a week with the Garmin Cirqa screenless fitness tracker, wearing it constantly during sleep, exercise and rest to determine how comfortable it is in everyday life, and measuring it against an electrical heart rate monitor and other wearables to determine accuracy. After all my testing, I can confirm the Whoop and Google Fitbit Air have got serious competition. While some people will still want the AI-powered coaching from Whoop and Google Health, and others will want the screen-based interaction and notification features available on the best smartwatches , most users looking for a simple but high-quality screenless fitness tracker will be just fine getting the Cirqa. If you’re reading this review wondering how it compares to the likes of the Whoop MG and the Google Fitbit Air , you’ll already know what to expect from the design: ...

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni offers a souped-up, 2026 upgrade for my beloved Nova Pro Wireless and is perfect for multiplatform gamers

Image
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni: One-minute review The most succinct way to describe the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni gaming headset is that it feels like a 2026-ified version of its excellent predecessor, the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless — one of my favorite gaming headsets ever. The Omni is a fantastic wireless gaming headset and offers a whole heap of improvements and enhancements over its older brethren, and in its own right, will tick every box most gamers can think of. Each feature that’s been tweaked or upgraded might not be huge in isolation, but every single one adds up, and it absolutely is greater than the sum of its parts when everything’s considered. The design and build will be very familiar to anyone who’s used any of the Nova line, as it shares identical design language and aesthetics, while retaining a robust build quality you can have confidence in. The GameHub dongle is also...

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is flatter, thinner, and almost creaseless — and, yes, I love it more than the Z Fold 8

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: Two-minute review Spare a thought for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which isn't having the easiest time of it right now. Yes, it's a fantastic foldable phone, but it was launched in the shadow of its upstart sibling, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 , with Samsung taking the OG folding phones' name and applying it to a fresh, dare I say cute, design. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, by contrast, is almost indistinguishable from its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 7. That's hardly a criticism — I loved that Android device — but it's hard to stand out when you've launched alongside to the phone world's shiny new object. If we can put the 4:3 aspect-ratio Galaxy Z Fold 8 aside for a moment — you can read our Z Fold 8 review if you're so inclined — I'll focus here on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, a fantastic folding device in its own right. If you...
