Best phone 2017: LG G6

Image
LG G6 A great all round phone Weight: 163g | Dimensions: 148.9 x 71.9 x 7.9 mm | OS: Android 7.1 | Screen size: 5.7-inch | Resolution: 2880 x 1440 | CPU: Snapdragon 821 | RAM: 4GB | Storage: 32/64/128GB | Battery: 3300mAh | Rear camera: Dual-13MP | Front camera: 5MP Huge, low-bezel display Vibrant QHD display Battery life could be better Last year's CPU The LG G6 has struggled to make it into our best phones list for the simple reason that it was too expensive. It had the same high price as most other flagship phones and yet still used last year's processor from Qualcomm, which is going to limit its lifetime. However, now it's a big cheaper it's a better option. The cameras are strong, the battery management improved (and should last longer over the lifetime of the phone) and that large, 18:9 display is really great for watching movies on. This is a phone that just feels better than the sum of its parts, and with the lower price it...

CAR REVIEW; Volkswagen Golf GTD

Image
Chances are that you're familiar with the Volkswagen Golf GTI. It is, after all, one of the most iconic hot hatchbacks, and has been the go-to choice for those wanting a practical performance car since its inception in 1976. Trouble is, the GTI has only ever been available in petrol form, and if you spend the vast majority of your time on the motorway then you're going to want a diesel option. In 2014, when VW introduced the Mk7 Golf, it also added a hotter diesel version to its line-up. Named the GTD, it's intended to provide hot-hatchback-style thrills without their traditionally high running costs. Like the best performance cars, though, the GTD's extra pace musn't detract from its practicality or daily use. This is, after all, still a family hatchback. Going up against fast versions of the Audi A3, Seat Leon and BMW 1 Series is always going to be a challenge, though, even for VW. So, can the GTD hold its own in such fine company? T...

CAR REVIEW; Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Image
With the F-Pace officially becoming the fastest-selling car in Jaguar’s 94-year history, it was inevitable that the company’s relentless product expansion would focus primarily on SUVs. In fact, not a day goes by where there’s not some form of JLR specific news gracing the web, focusing on either the new mid-sized E-Pace or sci-fi tastic i-Pace. But just when you thought a company famed for its iconic and timeless designs had sold its soul to buy a ticket on the increasingly lucrative SUV gravy train, we get this: the Jaguar XF Sportbrake, or XF estate for lovers of plain English. The first generation Sportbrake wasn’t all that successful, accounting for only 20% of XFs sold. It also didn’t help that the estate version was something of a European preoccupation, with the Sportbrake failing to find a market in both the US and Asia. Unlike the saloon, the Sportbrake comes with self-levelling air suspension at the rear as standard. It doesn’t upset the XF’s wonde...
