Just over 18 months after it was introduced, the 860 QVO is making way for the 870 QVO. The second iteration of Samsung’s popular budget line has upped the ante with the introduction of an 8TB solid state drive, the first time we’ve seen this capacity hit mainstream. The drive is available in four versions: 1TB ($129.99), 2TB ($249.99), 4TB ($499.99) and finally 8TB ($899.99). It’s worth noting that buying a pair of 2TB SSD costs roughly the same as the 4TB one. The hardware The 870 QVO uses Samsung’s second generation 4-bit MLC V-NAND paired with the new MKX controller. The 2TB model we tested today has a 2GB LPDDR4 which is used as DRAM cache memory. The memory size grows proportionally with the SSD capacity. As expected, the device runs on a SATA interface which is somewhat of a disappointment and limits the expected performance of the product.

One-minute review What to say about the Panasonic HZ1500 OLED TV ? As a successor to last year’s GZ1500, not too much is different. While the GZ1500 was a trailblazer in its brand-new HCX Pro Intelligent processor, an improved My Home Screen OS, and the introduction of Dolby Atmos audio, the HZ1500 has less to really make it stand out. That’s not entirely a bad thing: the HZ1500 keeps the same high-quality OLED panel, knockout picture, and overall design philosophy of its predecessor, and there certainly isn’t much, if anything, to improve on. The blacks are deep, the contrast and color accuracy is exceptional, and there’s near-nothing to fault in the images onscreen, which is the most important thing in any TV review. That said, the few new additions to the HZ1500 this year are still worthy of note. Dolby Vision IQ is a neat feature to adjust calibration based off ambient light in the room – ideal in the middle of summer, when natural light is persistent even when settling in ...

Two-minute review The Xiaomi Mi 10 is a great-looking phone. Shiny, curved glass around the back, a cool metal frame at the sides, and a bold, zingy, 90Hz screen on the front - what’s not to love? Not much, actually, at least when it comes to its design and screen. Xiaomi’s come a long way, and the Mi 10 series is its best-looking to date. That said, its interface is still occasionally questionable. For example, it still doesn’t give you the option to activate an apps tray, and its virus scan feature interrupts whatever you’re doing every time an app installs, so the interfaces found on phones from the likes of OnePlus are more polished. Jump to… Price and release date Design Display Camera Camera samples Performance Battery Should I buy it? The Xiaomi Mi 10’s camera is also not quite as good as it could be, given the £799 / AU$1,699 (roughly $990) asking price. The main 108MP sensor is a solid performer - we’ve seen it do great things on the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra ...

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is the third version of Amazon's popular streaming dongle, which has been updated to support 4K viewing. It's pretty similar to the second gen Fire TV Stick , which boasts an 802.11ac Wi-Fi chip and a 1.7GHz quad-core processor – but buying one of these 4K-enabled streamers still won’t break the bank at under $50.  The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K also has a built-in voice assistant, courtesy of Amazon Alexa. There's also a huge range of content to choose from the many apps on offer, including Netflix , Amazon Prime Video , and more. Which begs the question: who needs a smart TV ? Amazon has rectified some of the issues we had with the previous Fire TV Stick model. But a few small, niggling problems remain that made our experience with the device less-than-perfect. But, importantly, not far off.  Since the Fire TV Stick 4K was released, Amazon has made a push into televisions with the unveiling of a number of new Fire TV Edition sets, as well ...

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is one of our most highly-recommended pieces of entertainment kit – and one of the best streaming devices you can currently buy.  That means if you've been looking for a new streaming option you may have come across it before.

The Samsung NU8000 (UN55NU8000, UE55NU8000) may not be the best TV money can buy right now, but this is a great mid-range Samsung TV if you need to stick to a budget. It's not exactly cheap, but it has a more affordable price tag than the truly high-end models. The good news is this screen from the Samsung NU8000 Series doesn't look like a budget TV . It's bright, colorful, and comes stocked with the latest version of Samsung’s Smart TV OS. We've also found it's great for gaming thanks to its wonderfully low input lag, and is capable of producing breathtaking HDR images to boot.
