And in case you’re wondering, yes, there is a still a big difference in quality between most phone cameras and the types we’re talking about here. Phones still have relatively small sensors and lenses which limits them. Plus, most have no zoom and rely on ‘digital’ zoom which is the same as enlarging an image in Photoshop. However, today’s best phone cameras are very good and may well be all you need....

VPNs are simple to use, and they’re no longer something only businesses need: everyone should use one for both privacy and security. A VPN service works on all your computers, from the PC to laptop to phone and tablet: it’s as easy as installing the app and entering your username and password.

The company’s latest chipset is an industry-leading 7nm thick, but still delivers a number of key enhancements to the user experience that make it worth considering for your next device.

However, huge value can be found in opting for the Ryzen™ 4000 series, a chipset which has been designed with speed in mind....

That’s the consensus from Reddit, with many of the 79 current comments on the update mentioning problems.

By default, Windows 11 continues to download and install various updates automatically. You may not notice this is happening until you go to turn off your device, with a restart required for most updates to be applied. However, you might prefer to have more control over which updates are installed on your PC, and when downloads take place. Whether you just need a brief break from updates or something more permanent, here are four ways to turn off automatic updates in Windows 11....

There are two bugs here, but the first kicks in before you can even install it. In Microsoft’s official forums, several people say they haven’t been able to get the KB5012643 update running on their device. Some suggest the problems begin when installation begins, while the download freezes while in progress for others.

That’s certainly been the case since Windows 11 arrived on 5 October. The new OS is a free upgrade for all compatible devices, with frequent reminders of its benefits via TV ads, social media and within Windows 10 itself. However, it doesn’t appear to have had the desired effect – yet.

In fairness Xiaomi phones aren’t intended to be sold in the UK, and it’s not its fault if we don’t all speak the same language.Also see: Best Xiaomi Phone However, with that in mind I’m extremely pleased to see GearBest is stocking the International Edition of Xiaomi’s flagship Mi5s on its site. This version is preinstalled with Google Play and select Google apps such as Gmail (any others that you require can be downloaded from the Play Store), and it removes all the Chinese-language apps and notifications you don’t understand....

Although it has been superceded, there’s really very little difference between the 4A and 5A. There’s a new metal body, but all the key specs are the same.
