Today, DJI is officially announcing the Mavic 4 Pro, which could be the most versatile drone it’s ever made. It’s the first with a 360-degree rotating gimbal for footage that tilts, rolls, and offers true vertical filming. It’s the first Mavic to offer 51 minutes of battery life, tied with the old Mini 3 and close to the longest flight times DJI has achieved. It’s the first with a built-in 100-megapixel camera, which can also record 6K/60fps HDR, as part of its triple-camera array.Another important distinction: it’s the first off-the-shelf DJI drone that won’t launch in the United States.Today, it’s…

DJI has just revealed its new flagship drone, and it’s taking the Mavic range to new heights. Not literally, of course – the new Mavic 4 Pro is subject to the same altitude restrictions as previous generations – but in terms of performance, features and all-round appeal. This is the company’s latest top of the range consumer camera drone, supplanting the excellent Mavic 3 Pro. It builds on that previous model in every significant way: camera performance, flight performance and battery life. Let’s start with the camera. As with the Mavic 3 Pro, there are actually three cameras on board…

There’s still a week to go until Google I/O 2025 starts in earnest, but some of the developer conference’s biggest announcements are likely to arrive today in a one-off livestream called The Android Show: I/O Edition.When the Android Show will happen and where to watch itGoogle’s main I/O keynotes tend to run for a couple of hours. Breaking Android out should mean this is a shorter show, though we don’t know for sure how long it’ll run.One thing we’re pretty confident is coming is the launch of Android’s new design language, Material 3 Expressive. That’s because Google already published (and…

Introduction I first got to drive the Jeep Avenger a couple of years ago now and, while it had obvious off-road looks, it didn’t feel like it was going to be that capable in the dirt. When I tried it on dusty tracks, rather than rocky terrain covered in mud, it behaved as expected. It was respectable – but still looked better when pootled around town in its brash metallic yellow paint job. There’s now an updated version of the compact SUV, which is available in three variants – the Upland, the Overland and this, The North Face edition. Created…

Microsoft is redesigning the Start menu in Windows 11 this month with a new, wider design that finally lets you disable the recommended feed of files and apps. While the new Start menu looks different to what exists in Windows 11 today, this design refresh could have looked a lot different as Microsoft has now revealed in concept images.In a blog post detailing the process of redesigning the Start menu, Microsoft has revealed five concept designs that could have radically overhauled how the menu works in Windows. One includes an even more rounded menu with widget-like functionality, and a separate…

Some Google Search users are starting to see the platform’s AI Mode search engine chatbot in the wild. Several user reports across X and Threads show that Google is testing different locations to display the AI Mode tab — while some examples show it in the search bar itself, besides the “search by image” button, in others it replaces the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button underneath the search bar.Google said on May 1st that a “small percentage” of people in the US would soon start seeing an AI Mode option in Google Search, but the screenshots of these tests give us…

Sony has announced its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 VII, and it fits right into the company’s wheelhouse: a familiar design, tech cobbled together from across Sony’s other hardware brands, and a price tag that’ll sting.Sony’s last few flagships have been technological powerhouses that eschewed tech industry trends in favor of enthusiast features like expandable storage, headphone jacks, and an emphasis on Sony’s hardware know-how. In recent years, Sony has leaned on the expertise of its Alpha camera and Bravia TV teams in designing its Xperia handsets, and this time it’s added the Walkman department into the mix for…

Sony’s Xperia division has come up with another Alpha-infused camera phone  – this time it’s the much-leaked Xperia 1 VII, with the Roman numerals moving on a step. The phone boasts modest upgrades from the Xperia 1 VI which we were very impressed by on review in 2024 – even though it ended some previous stapes of the lineup such as a 4K display and 21:9 aspect ratio display. But while much of the phone’s basics are unchanged, the camera does have a much more impressive power-up – the ultrawide lens now boasts a much larger 48MP 1/1.56-inch sensor (2.1…

Philips has announced a new initiative that will let consumers 3D print their own replacements for small but essential parts included with many of its personal health products. Philips Fixables is launching in the Czech Republic, where Prusa Research, the company’s partner for the initiative, is based. But the actual files that can be downloaded and 3D printed are being freely shared through the Printables platform, which is accessible globally.You still can’t 3D print yourself a new beard trimmer if it breaks or the battery dies, but for accessories like a cutting guide, Philips Fixables will give some consumers an…

Samsung’s thin phone is here. The Galaxy S25 Edge — first teased back in January — is essentially a slimmed-down S25 Plus, with the same 6.7-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and AI features. The compact design comes at a price though, and you’ll have to do without the telephoto lens or beefy battery.At 163g (about 5.7 ounces), the Edge is just a gram heavier than the regular S25, with its dinky little 6.2-inch screen, and at 5.8mm thick it’s comfortably thinner than any Samsung slab phone in years. It’s still slightly thicker than Samsung’s Tab S10…

Long rumoured, several times previewed and now finally here – the Galaxy S25 Edge is a full-blown flagship-level Galaxy smartphone that has been flattened a little. And it is a little, because despite the 5.8mm thickness, it’s only 1.4mm thinner than the standard Galaxy S25 and 1.5mm thinner than the S25+. As I found out during a preview event in London, it’s best to think of it as a combination of the features of the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra. And one of those features is the pricing which is very premium for the respective 256 and 512GB versions. 256GB:…
