The Iniu P50-E1 power bank has earned pride of place in my everyday carry – here's why I love this speedy portable charger

Image
Iniu P50-E1 power bank review I rely on a power bank daily, and while there are plenty of compact models available, very few can keep up with the high-speed charging modern phones and portable gaming devices demand. And that’s where the Iniu P50-E1 comes in. At 83 x 52 x 26mm (3.27 × 2.05 × 1.02 in), it’s very compact, and the 160-gram (0.353 lb) weight won't bog you down. It has a 10,000mAh capacity (36Wh) – enough for one or two phone charges (depending on the phone), or it can give a 50Wh Steam Deck an extra 55% or so charge. This shows the size of the Iniu P50-E1 compared to the Pixel 10 Pro XL (Image credit: Future / Lindsay Handmer) The P50 stands out from other compact power banks thanks to the 45W output that supports PPS ( Programmable Power Supply , the standard used by many phones for rapid charging) from 5V to 11V and up to 4.8A. It’s aimed at those who want super-fast phone charging, and it can hit the speedy 45W charge rates that models like the Samsung G...

I spent time with the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and it absolutely crushes the iPhone 16e in every way that matters

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE hands-on: Price and availability (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) To understand the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, you need to know two things. First, it’s a phone for Samsung fans, even if Samsung no longer says FE stands for Fan Edition . Second, it costs only $50 / £50 (AU $TBD) more than the Apple iPhone 16e, but it gives you so much more that it might be a much better value. There are still questions to be answered (Exynos, really?), but the Galaxy S25 FE makes a lot of sense. I spent an afternoon with the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE – and the new Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Tab S11 tablets – and got a feel for what Samsung is cooking with this new bargain model. Actually, it’s only a bargain if you were wishing for a Galaxy S25. It still costs $649 / £649 (Australia price TBD), and Samsung also sells less expensive Galaxy A-series models like the Galaxy A56.

I tested the Rove R2-4K Dual Pro Dash Cam bundle, and it's great value if you need two in-car cameras

Rove R2-4K Dual Pro dash cam: two-minute review Dash cams are becoming increasingly advanced, but their core job is still to capture video. The Rove R2-4K Dual Pro Dash Cam will certainly do that, and is supposedly the company’s most advanced dual-camera model to date, although the conventional design doesn’t suggest that at all – it looks like a no-frills dash cam bundle. The package consists of a front-facing 4K camera, supplemented by a rear-facing 2K camera. These boast Sony Starvis 2 IMX678 and IMX675 sensors respectively, both of which are common among many of the best dash cams you can buy. Rove sells the Rove R2-4K Dual Pro Dash Cam in a bundle that comes complete with a 128GB Rove Pro microSD card, and a CPL filter for improving the video quality further. It’s presented in a box that, like other Rove models, has some of the busiest artwork you’ll ever see on a product. There is much to flag, however, with a bumper crop of features and functions that make the Rove R2-4K ...

Suri 2.0 Sustainable Sonic Toothbrush review: Upgraded to clean your teeth – and the planet – even better

Image
Suri 2.0 Sustainable Sonic Toothbrush: One minute review The Suri 2.0 Sustainable Sonic Toothbrush continues the environmentally-friendly mission of its predecessor, while upgrading everything that could help offer a better brushing experience. The end result is an upgraded model worthy of inclusion in our list of the best electric toothbrushes with its balance of performance, portability and sustainability. Suri's mission statement is all about creating a toothbrush that lasts, stopping landfills piling up with disposable plastic brushes. As such, it uses recycled materials in construction, the heads are plant-based and can be recycled – for free by Suri in some countries – and it's made to last. The sonic brush has a redesigned and strong motor that offers a powerful-yet-gentle 33,000 movements per minute sonic vibration. The pressure sensor detects a user is brushing too hard and lowers the force of the pressure and vibrates subtly so you know to ease off, keeping your g...
