I compared the Insta360 X6 and X5 — these are the 5 upgrades that really make a difference for 360 footage Insta360 X6 Like the X5 was before it, the X6 is the best all-round 360 camera you can buy, offering excellent image quality day and night. Pros Excellent image quality in bright daylight and low light alike 10-bit color across all shooting modes Strong battery life with no overheating issues Cons The priciest small 360 camera on the market by some margin Mobile app was unstable and crash-prone throughout testing ...

I spent two hours with the Honor Robot Phone, and this ridiculous, remarkable device made me feel like a kid again

I spent two hours with the Honor Robot Phone, and this ridiculous, remarkable device made me feel like a kid again First there was the phone. Then there was the iPhone. And now, according to Honor , there is the Robot Phone — a “revolutionary, category-creating device that shatters the physical boundaries of traditional mobile technology.” Now look, I love to call out marketing department hyperbole as much as the next journalist, but notwithstanding its description as the evolutionary successor to Apple’s greatest-ever product — sell 3 billion units, then we’ll have that conversation — the Chinese tech company is right to position the Robot Phone as something wholly different to what’s come before. No smartphone I’ve ever come across features a fully motorized, three-axis mechanical gimbal built directly into its chassis, nor such a comprehensive suite of professional-grade camera features, som...

The FCC could start banning DJI drones that have previously been approved, and DJI isn't happy about it

The FCC could start banning DJI drones that have previously been approved, and DJI isn't happy about it The FCC wants to take 'military-grade' DJI drones off sale Numerous DJI models would be affected You can comment on the proposals until September 2 There's been a ban on new DJI drones and cameras in the US since last December , but now the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is making moves to retroactively take some models off shelves that were approved before the ban came into effect. Specifically, the FCC wants to pull "military-grade" drones from stores (via PCMag ), which apparently includes every model with LiDAR obstacle avoidance or thermal cameras. That would affect drones such as the DJI Air 3S, the DJI Avata 360, the DJI Mini 5 Pro, and the DJI Mavic 3T, for example. Drones that weigh over 55 pounds (nearly 25 kilograms) will be included in the retro...

The US Navy used a swarm of drone boats to seize $81 million worth of cocaine in the Caribbean Voyager drone boats tracked smugglers before US Navy forces intercepted the shipment Autonomous vessels helped seize cocaine worth more than $81 million offshore Electric-powered drone boats can patrol continuously for more than 100 days Unmanned surface vessels have helped the US Navy intercept a cocaine shipment worth more than $81 million in the Caribbean Sea. Two Voyager drone boats, built by California-based Saildrone, tracked a vessel of interest before coordinating directly with naval forces stationed nearby. This coordination allowed a Navy ship to move in, intercept the suspect craft, and seize its illegal cargo without delay. Built for extended maritime patrols The Voyager measures over 10 meters (33 feet) in length and runs on an electric motor rather than conventional fuel. It can operate...

Liene PixCut S1 review: A compact, crowd-pleasing photo sticker printer and cutter for home and work

Liene PixCut S1 review: A compact, crowd-pleasing photo sticker printer and cutter for home and work Liene PixCut S1 : 30-second review The Liene PixCut S1 is a 4x6 photo printer and sticker creator in one, at a size that will sit perfectly on your desk or shelf. The printer itself works solely through an app connection from your mobile device, so there’s no need to plug it into a machine, with all files transferring via Bluetooth. What marks the S1 out is that it utilises a dye sublimation print process, laying a yellow, Magenta and cyan layer with a protective laminate over the top that gives a professional clarity. The printer is designed as a dual-use machine, enabling photo prints but also producing stickers, again with that dye-sub process and lamination that gives the stickers a look and quality that matches those that have been professionally produced. Unlike most printers, there's ...

Top tech of the month: the best new gadgets we've tested for August 2026

Top tech of the month: the best new gadgets we've tested for August 2026 TechRadar's reviews crew has been working as hard as ever this month, putting dozens of gadgets and gizmos through their paces to find the ones that are worth recommending. In this Reviews Recap , I've pulled together just our very favorites; the products that impressed us enough to score 4.5 or 5 stars in our tests. This month, we called the formidably tough new GoPro Mission 1 Pro a "fantastic all-round vacation camera", fell in love with the Marshall Stanmore IV speaker's "rumbling bass and amp-inspired aesthetic", and declared the Samsung S95H "one of the best OLED TVs [we'd] ever tested"... despite its rather controversial design. We were also won over by smartwatches from both ends of the price spectrum. The flashy Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 impressed our review...
