Creation of Beauty: How Huawei is changing the world of digital creativity

Huawei X Pro Lead image

(Sponsored) The world is an arena of innovation. Every day, billions of people are creating new ideas, new approaches and new works of art. 

As the cutting edge of creativity becomes ever more complex and demanding, the technology we use has to keep up. Huawei has been harnessing its considerable resources and talent to be at the forefront of this journey. 

Keep reading to discover how Huawei’s range has been optimised by years of experience and creative direction, to provide you with the tools necessary to create beauty in every task, revolutionising the landscape of creativity.

The key philosophy at the heart of Huawei’s vision is the “Creation of Beauty”. This phrase represents the goal of the brand, to empower its users in their creative endeavours. There are two main avenues through which you can see how this concept powers Huawei’s actions: technological design, and how Huawei engages with its audience with initiatives such as the GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity, which we will explore a bit later.

Through these avenues, Huawei encourages individuals to explore their creative instincts and share their unique perspectives with the world.

Huawei Matebook X Pro Creative use

At the forefront of Huawei’s innovation are its latest products: the flagship MateBook X Pro, the MateBook 14, and the MatePad 11.5”S. These cutting-edge devices are meticulously crafted to stimulate creativity and enhance productivity. With features like the HUAWEI Cloud Falcon Architecture, users can experience unparalleled performance, whether they’re working on a professional project or indulging a sudden spark of ideas.

So what do these technological innovations do? Let’s start with HUAWEI Cloud Falcon Architecture. This is essentially a method of constructing the laptop circuit boards in an extremely compact, streamlined manner. This, in turn, allows for more of the space inside the laptop’s casing for other important components, allowing for a bigger battery, a larger fan, and stronger speakers. Through impressive computer engineering, Huawei has been able to improve the battery life, heat dissipation and audio performance of the MateBook X Pro.

In addition to its technological prowess, Huawei is renowned for its commitment to design excellence. The MateBook X Pro’s sleek and minimalist design, coupled with its lightweight construction, embodies the perfect marriage of form and function. At just 980 grams, the Huawei MateBook X Pro is also easily one of the lightest laptops on the markets.

All this design prowess, in combination with the cutting-edge technologies unique to Huawei’s product range, help to deliver on the “Creation of Beauty” mantra. You will be able to create with equipment you can’t find elsewhere, and create anywhere thanks to how light and well-designed the laptops are for travel.

Central to Huawei’s vision is the cultivation of creative communities that foster collaboration and inspiration. Through platforms like GoPaint, Huawei Academy, and MY HUAWEI, individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together to share their passions and learn from each other’s experiences. 

GoPaint was originally developed by Huawei’s 2012 Laboratory by technical experts in fields such as graphical rendering and material science. It uses a unique engine to power your painting, leading to low latency, an accurate display of brush strokes, and the ability to perfectly render multiple layers of highly detailed work at once. Using this powerful artistic application, Huawei launched the GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity, and the winners were announced right at the end of April this year.

Huawei Matepad 11.5S image

The GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity was a contest involving thousands of talented digital artists from around the globe, all using Huawei’s high-end creative technology. Some excellent digital illustrations were released, which you can check out on Huawei’s website. These works highlighted and platformed many different cultures, which is one of the many end goals of the “Creation of Beauty” philosophy.

Since 2019, Huawei’s TECH4ALL digital inclusion project has provided mobile digital classrooms for more than 200,000 people who lack digital tools in nine countries including Spain, Kenya, Thailand and Peru. They use Huawei tablets and laptops to learn digital skills, unlocking new pathways both in the classroom and the wider creative world.

As you embark on your own journey of creativity and innovation, remember that whether you’re a seasoned artist like the GoPaint Worldwide contestants or taking the first steps on your journey, like some of the students in the TECH4ALL project, there is limitless potential inside of every creative. Huawei wants to give you the tools to try and realise as much of that potential as possible, and embrace the Creation of Beauty in your own way.

Witness the evolution of smartphone design in the new Huawei Pura 70 Series

Huawei Pura 70 Ultra Lead image

(Sponsored) The Huawei P series of smartphones have long been at the forefront of mobile photography and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the design front from a handheld device, but now Huawei’s flagship series is undergoing a natural stage of evolution, raising the bar yet again in the eye-catching Huawei Pura 70 smartphone line-up.

With three new devices to match different use cases and price ranges, there’s a model in the HUAWEI Pura 70 Series for anyone who wants to express themselves, all thanks to the incredible Forward Symbol Design which takes smartphone fashion to a whole new level.

Even from a distance, the HUAWEI Pura 70 Series is instantly identifiable by its unique and reformed camera modules which sit on the back of each device. Completely changing what you know about smartphone cameras, these main sensors are the star of the show, flanked by the smaller but no less impressive alternate sensors that all sit within a raised triangular platform that serves to accentuate the overall colour of each smartphone.

Speaking of colour, if you want to express your creative flair to the world with loud, bombastic tones then look no further than the striking pink option on the Huawei Pura 70.

This handset uses a flat-edge screen design that allows these backing colours to stand out to passersby as they look on enviously at your new Huawei Pura 70 smartphone.

For the HUAWEI Pura 70 Pro and Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, the company has opted for a slightly different approach in colourways, one that’s designed with a subtle excellence in mind that’s perfect for professionals who want to stand out in their chosen field.

For example, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra exudes a beautiful simplicity that is sure to pair effortlessly with any outfit. There’s a reason why the colour green is so iconic in the fashion world and that remains true here.

Following a similar sense of style but taking it even further, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra infuses a textured, vegan leather backing into the mix which not only sits comfortably in the hand, but it also allows the phone to become a fashion accessory in itself.

As a final flourish, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra features a retractable main camera that dabbles in a bright red around its edges, invoking the photographic excellence that these cameras bring to the table.

Regardless of which phone you go for, you’ll be sure to find one that suits your unique sense of style perfectly thanks to HUAWEI Pura 70 Series’ Forward Symbol Design. Of course, the design is but one aspect of these phones, and not the only area where Huawei is a step ahead of the competition.

The cameras within these phones are fronted by Huawei’s outstanding Ultra Lighting Photography System, which allows users to get the best image possible in any scenario, so your creativity is given everything it needs to flourish.

Through its all-new Pura 70 series, Huawei is able to build upon the foundations of its game-changing P range of smartphones to deliver a mobile experience quite unlike any other.

If you’re ready to take your self-expression to the next level with eye-catching design and an industry-leading set of cameras, you can order your very own handset from the Huawei Pura 70 series right now via the Huawei Store.

Step into a new world of audio excellence with the Sony ULT range

Sony ULT

(Sponsored) For years, Sony has established itself as the go-to name in the world of audio playback thanks to its wide range or premium headphones and earbuds, but with the all-new Sony ULT range of devices, the company is ready to kick things up a notch.

There are four products debuting as part of the ULT range, three speakers and a pair of headphones, all designed to offer the best music experience with powerful bass and crystal clear audio. Great for different situations, so that no matter the size of the audience or the style of music you want to play, Sony ULT has you covered.

When it comes to personal listening, whether that be at the gym, when studying at the library or even during the morning commute, nothing does the job better than a pair of headphones which is exactly where the Sony ULT Wear comes into play.

These headphones are built to keep the world at bay with powerful noise cancellation that makes you feel as if you’re being treated to your own private concert. With ambient noise taken care of, the ULT Wear delivers not one but two bass modes, Deep Bass and Attack Bass. The former is perfect for drawing out the bass notes in your favourite songs while the latter is brilliantly suited for dance tracks, letting you feel more in line with the beat.

Sony ULT

Plus, with a massive battery life of up to 30-hours or 50 hours with noise cancelling off, you can take the ULT Wear to the gym, to work, out on the town and on the journey back and still have plenty of juice left in the tank. In these scenarios, the ULT Wear offers up everything you could ever need. However if you’re looking for a more connected listening experience the Sony ULT Field 1 could be a more ideal pairing for you.

Don’t be fooled by this speaker’s miniature stature, the ULT Field 1 brings some serious volume and bass to the mix, complementing its clear audio playback that can elevate whatever it is you’re listening to.

Because it’s smaller size however, the ULT Field 1 can be easily taken anywhere without taking up too much space in the process, and when you move from room to room, or location to location you can carry it in just one hand and place it down wherever you can so that your playback is never interrupted. It’s also just the right size to bring with you on a solo hike, attaching to your rucksack with ease and with an IP67 rating and shockproof design you can really take it anywhere. 

The ULT Field 1 is the perfect personal speaker, but if you’ve got friends coming over and you want something with a bit more oomph that can keep the conversation flowing and then crank it up when the party’s getting started, look no further than the Sony ULT Field 7.

Sony ULT

This robust speaker packs an IP67 waterproof rating so if one of your guests accidentally spills a drink, you won’t have to worry about it getting in the way of your favourite tunes. Thanks to the carry handles on either end, you can easily transport the ULT Field 7 to the great outdoors without any hassle, so if you want to move the party to another location, there’s nothing stopping you.

If you’re feeling brave enough to completely take charge of the music and show off your skills, you can use the ULT Field 7 as an amp for your guitar, but if you’re not quite there yet then you can simply plug in a microphone and let someone else take the reigns through a session of karaoke.

There are plenty of use cases that have already been covered here but if you’re looking to host a proper event, whether as a DJ or as part of a band, then the ULT Tower 10 is the optimal choice.

This beast of a speaker is designed to make the ground rumble with each chord, pluck and note that rings out, giving the crowd everything it could possibly want for an epic night out. With full 360-degree sound, there also isn’t a bad seat in the house as you’ll pick up on rip-roaring bass and crystal clear vocals no matter where you are.

Sony ULT

The ULT Tower 10 even goes a step beyond the music thanks to built-in lights that flash and pulse in sync with whatever’s playing to add even more life to the party.

So whether you’re looking for the right track to hit your personal best at the gym, or paint the town red with an all-night gathering for the ages, you can find exactly what you need in Sony’s ULT Range, now available at Currys.

Elevate your fashion and fitness with the stylish Huawei Watch FIT 3

Huawei Watch Fit 3

(Sponsored) In their efforts to beat the competition, too many smartwatches sacrifice fashion for features or vice versa, but with the Huawei Watch FIT 3 you can dive into a world of zero compromises.

Taking a leaf from Huawei’s Fashion Forward strategy, which saw the Huawei Watch GT 4 take on a bold new approach in style that perfectly complemented the many fitness features it brought to the table, the Huawei Watch FIT 3 embodies the all-new Fashion Squared strategy.

As its name implies, Fashion Squared utilises Huawei’s experience in knowing how to make an eye-catching wearable, but this time bringing it over to a more compact and square form factor that effortlessly suits users who prefer having a smaller wearable on their wrists.

Maintaining a fashionable, trendy and slim profile has been the guiding design principle of the Huawei Watch FIT series of square watches since its inception in 2020, and at only 26g, the Huawei Watch FIT 3 is the lightest smartwatch that the company has ever produced, and with a thickness of only 9.9m, it can sit so comfortably on your wrist that you’ll oftentimes forget that it’s even there.

Huawei Watch FIT 3

What will remind you of the Huawei Watch FIT 3’s presence is any time you walk past a mirror and catch the watch’s vibrant 1.82-inch AMOLED display that’s incredibly bright and easy to read against direct sunlight, so you can catch a glimpse of the time whenever you need to.

With a next-level 77.4% screen to body ratio, the Huawei Watch FIT 3’s display represents a 10% increase in surface area over its predecessor, perfect for controlling music playback, seeing who’s calling and of course, taking control of your fitness metrics.

Lying underneath its fashionable chassis, the Huawei Watch FIT 3 packs a plethora of powerful fitness tracking technology designed to help those who are looking to make their foray into a more active lifestyle, as well as frequent gym-goers who want a deeper insight into how to improve their fitness routine.

On top of heart rate and SpO2 tracking, the Huawei Watch FIT 3 can analyse your activity throughout the day and, with a little help from AI, suggest the next best steps to help you maximise your routine so you start to see genuine results.

Huawei Watch FIT 3

Part of this technology is powered by Huawei’s incredible Stay Fit app, available on the Huawei Watch FIT 3. This updated bit of software is the ultimate go-to option for logging your caloric intake and seeing how those calories are burned throughout the day, giving you a better chance of meeting your weight goals.

When you’re ready to hit the track and beat your personal best, you don’t even have to bring your phone with you as the Huawei Watch FIT 3 can use built-in GPS tracking to stay on top of your chosen route, giving you a greater understanding of which sections are proving to be the toughest so you can overcome them.

Even with all of these features to help you stay on top of your health and fitness, the Huawei Watch FIT 3 can still go the distance, lasting for up to 10-days on a single charge. That makes the device well suited for any marathons you plan on running, or even a getaway weekend. Still, if you do need to top up the battery but you’re in a rush to make the morning train then you’ll be glad to know that a quick 10-minute charge can get you enough power for an entire day’s worth of use.

For everything that your day includes, the Huawei Watch FIT 3 works as the perfect companion. See how the Huawei Watch FIT 3 can elevate your life by picking one up at the Huawei store today.

Keep your home safe with the Aqara G4 Smart Video Doorbell

Aqara G4

(Sponsored) Aqara has been at the cutting edge of smart home security for well over 10 years, and it’s continuing to push the envelope when it comes to tech that not only makes your life more convenient, but also much safer thanks to emerging technologies with genuine practical uses. 

These emerging technologies really are important: police frequently encourage the public to make use of video doorbells to both deter and identify potential thieves, and on top of that, it’s always good to be able to keep track of who’s approaching your front door regardless. That’s where the newest addition to the Aqara lineup comes in.

The Aqara G4 Smart Video Doorbell boasts some of the latest in AI technology to go beyond a conventional video doorbell and further your home’s security, and this month, for a short time only, Aqara will be discounting the product for even greater value for money.

Speaking of value for money, the Aqara G4 offers a wide range of video storage options. The best bit is that unlike some other manufacturers, Aqara will offer you subscription-free cloud storage for up to seven days of video footage for critical clips. You can also use iCloud instead if you’re operating via the Apple HomeKit system. The subscription-free part can’t be overstated – some of the other popular video doorbell companies require costly monthly subscriptions which isn’t great for your bank balance in the long run.

If neither of those options are right for you, there’s also the ability to store videos on an SD card that slots right into your indoor chime repeater. You can even back up these videos to your own NAS storage system. Instead of reliance on cloud services, a local SD card and the NAS storage give you a peace of mind knowing what happens on your porch never leaves your porch.

Aqara G4

When it comes to everyday use, the G4 is loaded with plenty of the features you’d expect from a quality video doorbell: high-clarity 1080p video, a wide 162 degree viewing angle, loud 95 decibel chime-repeater and even extreme weather resistance. This model is rated to withstand anything from -18 to 50°C. There’s also automatic loitering and tampering alerts for extra peace of mind.

There’s even the very welcome option of either wired or wireless installation. With the latter, you can power the Aqara G4 with six AA batteries and place it where you like with little effort, while the former gives you the security of knowing there’s always a dedicated power supply and you needn’t worry about needing to swap out any batteries. This is before mentioning a plethora of intelligent power-saving features including adjustable sensitivity to motion, and a dedicated power-saving mode designed with high-traffic areas in mind.

On the interoperability front, this doorbell can do it all, being compatible with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home if you prefer not to use the manufacturer’s own Aqara Home app. This device is one of the few battery-powered video doorbells on the market that support Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video as well as local streaming to Amazon and Google smart displays. Matter integration is expected to arrive very soon, with a completely over-the-air update.

Still, the real star of the show with the G4 Smart Video Doorbell has to be the AI features through the Aqara Home app that allow for personalised responses to different things caught on camera. 

As an example, Aqara says the G4 will be able to recognise when a specific family member comes home and play a personalised “welcome home” scene. Similarly, on recognising a postal worker, the doorbell can play a pre-recorded message. 

Aqara G4

A common concern with AI facial recognition is a different kind of safety – digital safety. Aqara has addressed this by ensuring that instead of your camera’s data being saved on some mysterious database somewhere, or being used for training, all facial recognition is processed locally, on the device, which means that it’s not only more secure, but it also works much faster.

The G4 Smart Video Doorbell is a complete package that covers all bases in a way that the competition does not. It boasts clear, wide-lens footage, privacy protection with on-device facial recognition, the most complete third-party platform integration, flexibility in installation, versatile video storage options, and customisable settings to optimise performance. If you want a video doorbell that does the most out of the box in any situation, the Aqara G4 is the one to go for.

That’s why it’s important to head over to Amazon between the 20th to the 25th of March to take advantage of a big discount on an already great value-for-money video doorbell. This deal really won’t last for long, so it’s best to make use of it while it’s available.

So if you’re looking for the easiest, best value way to improve your home security then don’t compromise on performance, cross-compatibility, or be tied into an exorbitant subscription service you really don’t need. Choose Aqara instead for the optimal video doorbell, and save money in the process via Amazon.

Boost your workflow with the all-new Dell XPS range of laptops

Dell XPS Range

(Sponsored) Depending on your job requirements and what each day tends to look like, it can be tricky to find a laptop that suits your precise needs. After all, a writer who travels the world doesn’t need the same processing power as a 3D animator, but one thing they do share in common is that they can find exactly what they need in the new Dell XPS range.

Taking the guesswork out of buying a new workstation, the sleek, updated Dell XPS range now has three main devices to make the upgrade process even easier so that no matter which model you go for, you’ll always be getting a cutting edge laptop.

At the start of the new range is the Dell XPS 13 which takes portability to a whole new level. Because of its slimline 13.4-inch display, the Dell XPS 13 is able to cram tons of tech into a light 2.6lbs frame that’s only 14.8mm thin. With that type of build, the Dell XPS 13 can easily be carried in one hand, or slung into a rucksack.

There’s no downside to that portability either as Dell’s ingenious keyboard layout makes full use of the entire width of the Dell XPS 13, giving you a truly unencumbered typing experience, and when powered by either the Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7, the Dell XPS 13 makes most tasks a breeze.

Simply put, this is the ideal laptop for students who need to move between multiple lecture halls in the same day, or professionals who have a job that requires them to travel regularly. Even when you are on the move and a power outlet is hard to come by, you won’t have any battery anxiety with the Dell XPS 13 in tow.

On a single charge, the Dell XPS 13 can stream Netflix for up to 18-hours before needing a top-up, meaning that you’ll have more than enough battery in the tank to get you through whatever the day has in store.

Dell XPS 14

For those who like to dabble in content creation in their spare time however and require a little more power to give their creative edge a boost then the Dell XPS 14 is easily your next go-to laptop.

Packing the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, the Dell XPS 14 is powerful enough to run advanced AI features on the device itself – perfect for streamlining your workload.

That’s before mentioning the gorgeous 14.5-inch 3.2K+ OLED display that can pump out rich colours and an image that’s full of high-ranging contrast. It’s the type of screen that can make your work truly pop, but it can really come into its own after the day is done.

When you’re ready to kick back and enjoy the latest films and TV shows, you can stream up to 21-hours of Netflix, and when paired with the robust 8W speakers onboard the Dell XPS 14, you can get the cinematic experience no matter where you are.

While the Dell XPS 13 and Dell XPS 14 are powerful and mobile, if your job requires some heavy duty machinery for the likes of full-time content creation or even 3D animation, then the conversation starts and ends with the super-powerful Dell XPS 16.

Dell-XPS-16

Designed for those who need a maximum-level device that can be taken on the road when necessary, the Dell XPS 16 leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. You can run the most demanding tasks smoother and faster with the latest Intel Core Ultra processor up to the Intel Core Ultra 9, but it can also be paired with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor. Additionally, the efficient Intel Arc graphics can be swapped to a dedicated RTX 4070 graphics card.

The Dell XPS 16 is also at the forefront of AI technology, as it can handle demanding large language models to help you to make the most of any AI components that you may use to help speed up your workload.

When in the editing stages of a project, the Dell XPS 16’s 4K+ OLED 16.3-inch display can render colours beautifully and accurately, so you’ll know exactly how the finished product will turn out at all times.

With up to 80W sustained performance and the ability to customise your laptop to feature up to 4TB SSD storage and up to 64GB LPDDR5x memory, the Dell XPS 16 doesn’t just keep up with your workload, it gives you the performance required to take your creativity even further.

Regardless of whether your workload is better suited for the Dell XPS 13, Dell XPS 14 or the Dell XPS 16, you can find exactly what you need to get the job done in the all-new Dell XPS range. Order your very own Dell XPS laptop today to see how far your creativity can take you.

This Valentine’s Day, Huawei has something for everyone

Huawei Valentine's Day

When it comes to buying gifts for Valentine’s Day, it’s almost too easy to fall back into the usual trappings of flowers, chocolates and dinner, but if you want to shake things up with a gift that your beloved can use all year round and get plenty of use out of then Huawei is here to help.

With an eye for style and an understanding of the type of features that make a difference, whether that’s in smartwatches, fitness trackers or wireless earbuds, Huawei’s products are instant crowd pleasers that are sure to go down a treat when February 14th rolls around.

If you’re still a little unsure over which Huawei device to buy in time for Valentine’s Day then fear not as we have plenty of suggestions to help you out.

Kicking things off with the eye-catching Huawei FreeClip, these Fashion Forward earbuds are unlike anything you’d seen before, namely because they don’t even look like a pair of earbuds. Instead, the Huawei FreeClip can easily be mistaken for a stylish ear piercing or accessory from a distance as the unique C-Bridge design curves around the ear for a comfortable yet firm fit.

This unique design goes far beyond fashion however as there’s a practical use case hidden in plain sight that makes them fantastically equipped to help you maintain awareness of your surroundings, even when you’re listening to music. This is achieved as the Huawei FreeClip doesn’t actually obstruct the ear canal as the listening bud sits within the frame of your ear.

This is a game changer as it allows runners to stay clued into their surroundings, office workers can take calls whilst still being able to hear any colleagues that need to get their attention, and even simple tasks like ordering a cup of coffee don’t require you to remove the FreeClip buds in order to hear what’s being said.

Huawei FreeClip

Even with the unobstructive design, the Huawei FreeClip utilises leakproof sound technology to prevent any music or call audio from being picked up by those around you, ensuring that you’re the only one who has access to what’s being said or sung.

The Huawei FreeClip are available now for £179.99, and if you buy from the Huawei Store before February 14, you can get a free HUAWEI Band 8 fitness tracker as part of the deal.

Are you leaning towards a more classic earbud style? HUAWEI has several excellent choices for you. TheHuawei FreeBuds Pro 3, Huawei’s premium earbuds, redefine the limits of sound technology. Their distinctive dual-driver arrangement delivers exceptionally rich bass and crystal-clear high tones. Combined with advanced dynamic noise cancellation, they offer an enveloping sound experience, perfect for both the tranquillity of your home and the hustle of city streets. Grab them now at the Huawei Store with a £30 discount. 

The excellent value for money option, the Huawei FreeBuds 5i still deliver great sound and active noise cancellation despite their lower price. 

If you’re looking for another unique open-ear design, you might also want to try the Huawei FreeBuds 5. These earbuds are a true design wonder with their unique droplet shape that fits snugly in your ear, ideal for all-day use. They’re also available with a £30 discount this Valentine’s.

If your partner is already covered where earbuds are concerned or they’ve made hints that they wouldn’t mind adding a smartwatch to their outfit then look no further than the Huawei Watch GT 4.

Much like the FreeClip, it’s easy enough to mistake the Watch GT 4 for something else entirely – in this case a traditional time piece. This is because Huawei has also implemented its Fashion Forward strategy in the design of the Huawei Watch GT 4, ensuring that the aesthetic of the wearable was to a high standard before moving on to the software side of things.

Huawei Watch GT 4

Speaking of features, the Watch GT 4 leaves nothing to be desired. When it’s not functioning as a stylish accessory, the device offers up detailed heart rate and fitness metrics via Huawei TruSeen 5.5.

This pairs perfectly with the upgraded dual-band five-system GPS that provides detailed route data for runners who want to pour into the details of their performance to know exactly where they can improve to reach a new personal best. For anyone looking to make changes to their diet as well as their fitness routine, the onboard Stay Fit app is an ingenious means of tracking your caloric intake so you can get to grips with the effect of certain foods and the amount of calories you burn in a day.

Buy the Huawei Watch GT 4 from the Huawei Store (priced from £229), and get the Huawei FreeBuds SE 2 true wireless headphones bundled in for free.

If you’re willing to invest a bit more, check out the Huawei Watch 4 and Watch 4 Pro. These watches combine cutting-edge health tracking with sophisticated design. With their e-sim independent connectivity, you can keep up with notifications and emails even when your phone isn’t around, all while enjoying Huawei’s legendary long battery life, lasting over four-days in typical use.

And finally, the pinnacle of refined choice is the stunning Huawei Watch Ultimate.

This meticulous craftsmanship pairs with top-notch health and fitness tracking capabilities. It’s the only smartwatch designed for diving up to 100m deep. Pick one of these up from the Huawei Store, and you can get the FreeBuds Pro 3 for free. 

To get your loved one a gift that they’ll never forget, head on over to the Huawei store now to see the company’s wide range of fashionable and feature-packed products.

The Tineco Pure One Station is the vacuum cleaner you’ve been waiting for

Tineco PURE ONE Station series2

(Sponsored) As any homeowner or tenant can attest to, vacuuming is an essential chore but it is easily amongst the most time consuming. After all, keeping your floors clear of debris is just part of the job – you also have to consider the cleanliness of furniture, curtains and skirting boards, and that’s before factoring in any accessories you might need to ensure a proper clean. It’s a lot to tackle, but with the Tineco Pure One Station, vacuuming has never been easier.

As its name implies, the Tineco Pure One Station has been designed as an all-in-one device that’s ready to make the vacuuming process as simple and hassle-free as it’s ever been – powered by the expertise that Tineco has amassed over decades of supplying its customers with the latest cutting edge tech in home cleaning.

Convenience is at the core of the Tineco Pure One Station, and it all starts with the vacuum cleaner’s partner in crime, the Complete Self-Cleaning Station, also known as the OmniHub. This ingenious piece of tech takes the maintenance of the vacuum off your to-do list completely, so you don’t have to worry about getting your hands dirty.

The process begins as soon as you dock the vacuum cleaner, as the OmniHub will automatically remove the vacuum’s contents and store it within its massive 3L container, which is large enough to last for up to 60-days without needing to be emptied, giving you even less to worry about.

After the contents have been dealt with, the OmniHub gets to work with cleaning the brush, tube and dustbin to ensure that no debris is left behind and that the vacuum is good as new to tackle another round of cleaning in next to no time. This also provides the care that all vacuums need to keep them performing at their highest level, so you can be sure that the Tineco Pure One Station will last you well into the future.

Tineco PURE ONE Station series1

When it comes to actually getting out there and giving your floors a good clean, the Tineco Pure One Station absolutely decimates the competition and this is largely due to the abundance of smart features on board.

For starters, the Pure One Station benefits from Tineco’s incredible iLoop Smart Sensor technology which analyses your floors in real time to adjust the suction levels instantly to match the particular mess you’re trying to be rid of. What this means is that you don’t have to waste time switching back and forth between different modes – the Tineco Pure One Station will handle it all automatically so you can just focus on getting the vacuum to where it needs to be.

As any good vacuum manufacturer knows, hair tangles can be a nightmare for brush heads and vacuum components which is exactly why the Tineco Pure One Station uses a ZeroTangle Brush Head that can intelligently separate hair from other debris, which is particularly handy if you have a beloved pet that sheds.

Despite having all of these features, the Tineco Pure One Station still manages to be lightweight, coming in at just 2.69lb which allows it to effortlessly glide across your floors without ever tiring you out. Pair that with the fact that the vacuum also runs quietly when in operation and you’re looking at one of the most fully featured vacuum cleaners on the market.

If you’re ready to do away with your existing vacuum and embrace the joy of a full home-clean, the Tineco Pure One Station can be yours in just a few clicks.

Narwal’s Freo X Ultra robot vacuum is the future of home cleaning

Narwal

(Sponsored) At CES 2024, renowned cleaning solutions company Narwal has just announced three new products that are set to completely revolutionise the home cleaning process, freeing up more of your time than ever before.

Narwal is already one of the world’s most established brands within this sector, as its devices, available in over 30 countries, serve over 1.8 million families worldwide. The esteemed connection that Narwal has with its consumers is what has allowed the company to truly understand what people want out of their home cleaning devices, leading to the creation of the Freo X Ultra, the Freo X Plus and the S10 Pro.

Starting with the Narwal Freo X Ultra – this all-in-one robot vacuum is designed to take almost all of the floor cleaning process out of your hands completely, so you can get back to spending time on the things you love.

The Freo X Ultra is able to achieve this thanks to Narwal’s innovative Base Station which stands head and shoulders above the competition. With the ability to connect the Base Station directly to your home plumbing, clean water can be added to the Freo X Ultra automatically, just as dirty water can be flushed away without you ever having to lay eyes on it.

When it’s moving across your floors in cleaning mode however, the Narwal Freo X Ultra leaves nothing to chance thanks to its unique DirtSense technology. Detailing the feature, a Narwal spokesperson said: “Dirtsense is where our robot will actively monitor the level of dirtiness from the floor and from the mop pads so it can keep cleaning until everything is clean… the sensors in our robot can detect the colour and density of dirt levels, so [it gets] a sense of how dirty your floors are and whether there are any stubborn stains… then the robot will know if a place is still dirty and go back until everything is cleaned.”

Simply put, the Narwal Freo X Ultra doesn’t stop until your home looks absolutely spotless.

Narwal

If you like the idea of having a robot vacuum to handle all your cleaning, but only have a limited amount of space to house one, then the Narwal Freo X Plus has been designed with you in mind.

In spite of its smaller footprint, the Narwal Freo X Plus is still a powerful robot vacuum, thanks to its high 7800Pa suction power and built-in cleaning mop that can make short work of any unwanted messes on both hard and carpeted floors.

Unlike most other robot vacuums which struggle with tangled hair clogging up their cleaning brush, the Narwal Freo X Plus has no such issue as its intelligently designed Floating Brush allows hair to move freely to one side where it gets funnelled directly into the dustbin.

Speaking of which, you’ll also notice that the Narwal Freo X Ultra and the Freo X Plus can get through more cleaning cycles than most robot vacuums before needing to be emptied, and this is because they both use Narwal’s ‘Self-Contained Dust Processing Solution’. Narwal’s spokesperson added:

“[With] traditional self-emptying station solutions, you have to transfer dust from the robot to the station where [it has] to travel through a lot of pipelines which can have hair get stuck there, bacteria can grow [and] odours can grow in that pipeline. So what we’ve done here is we’ve put everything inside the robot including the emptying process. With [a] huge 1 litre dustbin, it already stores up a lot of dust but our dust compression technology can… allow up to twice as much capacity, so that [it] gives you seven weeks of dust storage without disposal.”

Narwal

For those who prefer a manual touch when it comes to home cleaning, the Narwal S10 Pro is your best bet. Courtesy of its 180-degree flexibility, the Narwal S10 Pro can clean up mess and debris in any hard to reach places, and it’s also equipped to tackle wet and dry spills at the same time, so you can be sure of achieving a next-level clean over the course of its incredible 50-minute runtime.

With its 2024 line-up of products, there’s something in Narwal’s range to suit everyone, so if you’re ready to give your home the proper clean it deserves, head on over to Narwal’s website to see what the Freo X Ultra, the Freo X Plus and the S10 Pro can do for you.

The vacuum revolution is here with the Tineco Switch S7

Tineco S7

(Sponsored) While the last few years have brought some incredible innovation in the world of home cleaning technology, it’s led to plenty of products that can do one thing really well but neglect the other aspects required for a whole house clean, that is, until now.

Debuting at CES 2024, the new Tineco Switch S7 represents a whole new vision for what consumers can expect their vacuum to do, and with its phenomenal 5 in 1 feature-set, there’s truly nothing like it on the market.

This innovation stems from over two decades of experience in the vacuum industry, with Tineco using its expertise and understanding of which features its customers value the most to bring about a device that isn’t held back by any sort of compromise – starting with versatility.

If you’re looking to do a deep clean that’s going to take some time then that’s perfectly fine with the Tineco Switch S7’s ability to be plugged into a power outlet. For when you’re in a hurry however and just need a quick sweep before company arrives, thanks to the SwitchPro Motor the Tinenco Switch S7 can also operate as a cordless vacuum at the touch of a button.

Tineco S7

Unlike most cordless vacuums that have their lifespan intrinsically linked to the health of their battery cell, the Tineco Switch S7 has no such issue. Thanks to its unique Pouch Cell technology, the internal battery is not only designed to last longer than traditional batteries, but it also runs at a lower temperature to cut back on degradation over time.

This is a huge breakthrough for cutting down on e-waste as it allows consumers to get more use out of the Tineco Switch S7 than a traditional cordless vacuum, offering far better value for money in the long run.

Of course, vacuuming is just one aspect of the home cleaning process – whether it’s for sorting out a stain, a spill, or even general maintenance, washing your floor is an essential part of the mix that shouldn’t be overlooked.

The issue with washing the floor is that after the process is done, the brush itself needs to be cleaned and dried in order to prevent it from becoming worn out and dirty over time. This can be another drain on your time which is exactly why Tineco has fitted the Switch S7 with an all-new FlashDry Self-Cleaning system.

Tineco S7

Automating the cleaning process even further, this incredible system, which utilises a powerful 450W PTC heater, can dry the brush in just five minutes. This means that you don’t have to wait hours for the brush to dry (or deal with any unwanted smells that could emerge) – instead you can let the heater do the work and have the whole apparatus packed away in no time.

Speaking of which, and in spite of its wide range of features, the Tineco Switch S7 still manages to be slim and stylish, ensuring that it doesn’t take up much of your precious storage space when it’s not in use.

If you’re ready to take your cleaning to the next level, you can buy your very own Tineco Switch S7 right now by heading over to Tineco’s website.

Unleash your creativity with the stunning Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch tablet

(Sponsored) When it comes to building the perfect tech ecosystem, each device serves a specific role that it excels in. Smartphones pave the way for communication and capturing the world around us while smartwatches are perfect for staying on top of your mental and physical wellbeing, but for the creatives out there, nothing gives you the opportunity to express yourself quite like a tablet, and Huawei’s newest device is set to take things to the next level.

MatepadPro 13.2 inch tablet image 1

Unveiled during the company’s ‘Creation of Beauty’ event in Dubai, the new Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch tablet builds upon the already impressive foundations laid by previous Huawei MatePads whilst adding several features to help creatives bring their best work to life, starting with the larger display.

As its name suggests the 13.2-inch display of the new Huawei MatePad Pro is designed for maximum creativity and productivity on the go. The use of OLED technology ensures that the display can reach jaw-dropping levels of contrast, ensuring that the colours in a digital painting leap off the tablet while blacks appear deeper and darker than they would anywhere else.

It’s the type of display that’s perfect for digital artists, particularly as you’ll have a suite of drawing apps to work with including Sketchbook, Mojing Paint and Nomad Sculpt, and that’s before mentioning Huawei’s own GoPaint Activity which allows artists to share their work seamlessly with the world.

MatepadPro 13.2 inch tablet image 1

Of course, all of these features are incredible but for any budding artist, the quality of your work is inseparable from the tools at your disposal, which is why the new Huawei M-Pencil (3rd gen) is designed to make full use of the MatePad Pro’s features, with a faster response time and lower latency than ever before. The new M-Pencil even has over 10,000 pressure sensing levels, so you’ll be free to construct your latest artwork exactly as you imagine it.

Still, not every creative role relies quite so heavily on digital drawing, so if you spend more time focusing on music and video editing then you’ll be glad to know that the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch also has you covered here too.

Courtesy of Huawei Sound technology, the MatePad Pro can facilitate directional audio to give you a truly immersive experience without the need for headphones, and thanks to TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 3.0 certification, you can spend hours editing your latest project without having to worry about the level of eye-strain that can occur with other blue-light displays.

Much like with digital drawing, you’re also spoilt for choice on the app front as the likes of Filmora, Capcut, Snapseed and Lightroom can let you edit video, audio and photos wherever you are.

MatepadPro 13.2 inch tablet image 1

You don’t have to worry about running out of battery mid-edit either as the Huawei MatePad Pro can support up to 12-hours of video playback on a single charge. When you do need to top up however, there’s support for super fast 88W charging that can get you back up and running in only a short time.

Even creatives need to delve into admin every now and then, which is exactly why the included magnetic keyboard is so helpful as you can type up emails and documents quickly. It can even work when it’s not physically connected to the tablet, giving you more flexibility around your desk space to work as you see fit.

With so much versatility, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Huawei MatePad Pro would be a hefty device but this couldn’t be further from the truth. It uses incredibly space efficient design, such as its 94% screen-to-body ratio, to keep things compact, ensuring that it’s only 5.5mm thin whilst weighing just 580g, making it light enough to be held comfortably with one hand.

To see how it can transform your creativity, you can buy your very own Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2-inch tablet over at Huawei’s online store today.

McAfee has a new way to keep you safe from online identity fraud

(Sponsored) As we gear up for the season of gift giving, online shopping is reaching its annual peak and while it can be a great way to buy for your loved ones, it’s still worth taking extra precaution to stay safe online and keep your data from falling into the wrong hands. 

Fraud certainly wasn’t invented on the internet, but it did give a wider pool of bad actors the opportunity to steal from unsuspecting consumers. With schemes varying from basic confidence tricks to extremely elaborate impersonations of banks and retailers, there’s no limit to the things criminals might do to get hold of your money. 

Fortunately, for every potential danger online there’s a comprehensive solution. McAfee has been at the cutting edge of cybersecurity for decades, and now it’s just launched McAfee Privacy and Identity Guard, a service which keeps your info secure all the time online – read on to learn more about what’s on offer.

McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard

Threats to data security are very real, and they happen every day to countless people around the world. There are often stories of big data breaches in the news, where a large number of users have their data leaked all at once, but individuals can be targeted just as often. The average loss from identity fraud in the UK is reported to be £1190, so this is not a trivial matter.

Methods for stealing user data vary, but a lot of them make use of confidence, as this is an easy way to lower a victim’s guard. Impersonating a retailer you may recognise, complete with a fake website, is a common scheme. 

The fraudsters might add to the illusion by buying ads on popular social media sites like Facebook so that you’re brought to their site via a source you use regularly. Sending links via email is another common tactic, which can catch you unaware if you don’t diligently check the email address of the sender.

It’s important to always be vigilant when filling out forms that include any personal information. But even the most vigilant among us may still get caught up in cyber crime unwittingly and that’s why you need to take a look at McAfee Privacy and Identity Guard.

McAfee’s new solution is an easy one-stop-shop for taking control of your personal information online. It boasts a wide array of features designed to ensure you’re as safe as possible when using the web.

One of the primary features is McAfee’s Personal Data Cleanup, which regularly scans high-risk data broker sites, checking for your information and automatically requests removal, ensuring your data is protected from identity thieves, hackers and scammers as quickly as possible.

McAfee also monitors up to 60 individual pieces of personal information on the dark web, from credit card numbers to government ID. This monitoring takes place 24/7 automatically, and McAfee will notify you an average of 10 months sooner than competing services, giving you a massive head start to act and modify that information before it can be used against you.

McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard

As well as keeping completely up-to-date with your data, McAfee’s Online Account Cleanup trawls through your past, running monthly scans to find all your online accounts, showing you a risk level concerning each account, allowing you to decide what you want to delete and saving you from unnecessary future data breaches of an unused account.

McAfee also relies on its extensive experience in online security with its Protection Score, software that checks the health of your online protection and offers simple steps to improve your grade. You can enjoy all these benefits on any device fit for purpose – features are accessible via any browser or the mobile app too.

It’s also recommended that you consider adding McAfee LiveSafe to your setup – the company’s antivirus, password manager and unlimited VPN software that protects you from incoming threats while McAfee Privacy and Identity Guard seeks out your data externally. This will provide you with complete protection no matter what.
All in all, McAfee Privacy and Identity Guard is a vital new tool to make use of before you start seeking out the best seasonal sales this Christmas. It’s cost-effective, all-encompassing and exactly what’s needed for peace of mind. If you want a piece of software that will proactively protect you and your personal information, this is the one for you.

Huawei research reveals the health benefits of using a smartwatch

(Sponsored) Huawei recently published a pan-European research paper surveying a wide range of citizens on health concerns while also quizzing smartwatch users about the relationship with their device. The results revealed just how much using a smartwatch can affect health awareness and habits for the better.

One of the most unique things about using a smartwatch is the health tracking features it contains. While checking messages, following turn-by-turn route instructions and playing music from your watch are super-convenient, these are all things your smartphone could do already. Keeping track of statistics as wide-ranging as blood pressure, respiratory rate and sleep quality are features reserved for the tech on a watch. 

The question is, just how much of an impact does using a smartwatch make? Huawei found that amongst European users, a staggering 87% adopted new, healthy behaviours because of their watch.

Click here to read the results of the 2023 Huawei European Health Survey

It should come as no surprise that a large proportion of the general population expressed interest in their health – 83% were interested in psychological health, and 82% physical. Unfortunately, not everyone is satisfied with where they are right now: half of all respondents were not satisfied with their health, either psychologically or physically. 

Mental health takes priority for Europeans, with sleep and stress being the top two specific health topics that interested respondents (both at 82%). In line with this, the most common health symptom experienced by participants was ‘sleep disorder’, followed by ‘stress’. 

It’s worth noting that, according to the study, the nationality which experienced sleep disorders the most was the UK, at 39%.

So it’s clear that not only are people very much interested in their overall health, but are also keenly aware of the specific symptoms bothering them the most. Despite this, many people aren’t taking as much action as they should, with 54% neglecting regular medical exams – highlighting a crucial gap in people taking proactive steps to manage their health.

It’s not all doom and gloom though. 91% of respondents expressed a desire to enhance their health-related lifestyles. Stress reduction led the way in terms of priorities, with maintaining the correct weight being right behind at 40%. So how can we all turn that desire into action?

72% of respondents admitted they needed extra motivation to keep up their healthy habits, and that’s where smartwatches can shine – for example, Huawei’s new Watch GT 4 is brimming with health tracking technology as well as over 100 workout modes to keep you active, and help you hit your targets every day.

A knowledge gap could be the missing link between people’s interest in their health and their ability to follow through with their goals. The survey uncovered a significant knowledge gap among respondents regarding important health indicators. Metrics cited often revolved around general activities rather than real health measures. This lack of awareness poses a fundamental hurdle to achieving optimal health. 

It might not be surprising to learn that smartwatch users emerge as more informed in this area, being 51% more likely to know target measurements for essential health metrics compared to non-users. If you have all that information instantly accessible from your wrist, it’s little wonder you’d be more likely to stay up to date on the latest information.

So, how much do smartwatches benefit their users? Almost all smartwatch users (88%) believe their devices can improve physical health and 87% have incorporated new healthy habits based on device data. 

Regular tracking of multiple health metrics leads to powerful micro-habits, as users check core health indicators twice as often as non-users. 

Smartwatches not only provide real-time data but also contribute to positive behavioural changes, with users reporting increased exercise frequency, longer exercise duration, improved sleep habits, and dietary adjustments. 

It’s not just day-to-day stuff either, as 74% of surveyed smartwatch users sought advice when alerted to abnormal health indicators. This proactive approach leads to 63% of users visiting their doctors for further analysis. Smartwatches, therefore, serve as not just personal health monitors but also as valuable tools in prompting users to take timely action and seek professional medical guidance. 

So the results are clear as society becomes ever more conscious of health, we need the data to back it up and to help that awareness to translate into tangible improvements. The results of this survey suggest smartwatches are not merely accessories but powerful catalysts for positive health changes, providing individuals with the knowledge and motivation needed to embark on a journey towards improved well-being.

This is part of the reason why Huawei has already opened three health labs across the globe, and is always looking for ways to improve the health benefits offered by its devices. If you’re interested in what a smartwatch can do for you, take a look at Huawei’s range today.

Scams are nothing new but as more of our shopping habits continue to move online, it’s become even easier for bad actors to take advantage of unsuspecting users by /ising a great value-for-money offer that’s really a fraudulent way to steal money, financial details or even personal information.

If you want to know more about some common scams, and how to spot and avoid the scam artists who perpetrate them, have a look at these tips below, brought to you by the verified all-digital marketplace G2A.COM.

One of the most elaborate ways people might try to trick buyers is by using a fake or spoofed online store. What’s the difference? A fake store might be a completely fabricated website that’s built to look like a typical online retailer, but a spoofed store is more insidious – this is when a scam artist impersonates a real site, like G2A.COM, to make you think you’ve clicked through to a homepage you’re familiar with.

The most common way for scammers to direct you to these fraudulent sites is via links on social media, email or messaging. They may even pay for ads on social media sites to make you think it’s legitimate.

Spoofing is especially dangerous as the scammer is actively trying to take advantage of the fact that you’re unlikely to have your guard up if everything seems legit. That’s why spoofing can work against even some savvy online users. 

The number-one piece of advice you should follow is to always check the URL before buying. If you verify URLs before entering personal or payment details – this includes email addresses – you’ll be far more likely to catch scammers before they catch you.

A good tip to avoid either a completely fake store or a spoofed store is to always pay using a method that allows you to reverse transactions. A good example of this is any transaction that goes via your bank’s system. Scammers are extremely unlikely to use such a payment method – they want to get the money as soon as they can without the risk of reversal.

Beside falsified retail websites, there are plenty of other ways thieves will try and steal your cash online. 

Another notorious scheme is the fake order confirmation email. You may receive an email claiming to be from a famous retailer, telling you that an order has been confirmed, typically for a large sum, making you more likely to engage. 

When you click on any links or attachments to the email, malware could be installed onto your device, allowing the scammers to do all sorts of things, such as monitoring your online actions, grabbing your passwords through keyloggers, or even holding your device and all its data ransom. 

The most important thing to do is take a second to stop and think before you engage with emails or messages containing links. Are you sure it’s been sent from a trustworthy source? Do details on a supposed invoice or delivery confirmation make sense? Did you even order anything from that retailer? It might sound obvious, but if you click a link on autopilot you could be in trouble.

A common, low-effort way for scammers to try and take your money is through gift card scams – simply ‘selling’ redeemed or unactivated gift cards. This can be as low-effort as sending you an offer on social media or more elaborately, through fake websites. These fake websites may also include bogus vouchers and coupons.

The easiest way to avoid this is to always check the source. Don’t make deals via online messaging platforms and use well-known, reputable websites such as G2A.COM, which has been selling gift cards successfully for years to platforms such as Steam, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Store and PlayStation Store.

While vigilance is the most important factor to avoid being scammed, having security to back you up is also key. Having a password manager, VPN and most importantly, an antivirus software are all vital ways to avoid becoming a victim.

Overall, the most important piece of advice is this: if a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is, doubly so if you’re not sure the deal is coming from a reputable online retailer or marketplace like G2A.COM. Make sure you’re grabbing the best possible deals this season while shopping safely over at G2A.COM’s verified website.

Enjoy peace of mind this winter with Swann’s AllSecure security system

Swann

(Sponsored) Winter is the time for feeling cosy and content in your own abode, so what better opportunity is there to make sure your home is completely safe and secure?

Home security equals peace of mind. While there are many different home security solutions available, there are very few that do everything you need in a package that’s incredibly easy to use and simple to install. That’s where Swann comes in.

The Swann AllSecure range offers wireless security solutions that boast free recording, HD video, two-way audio, night vision, heat and motion sensors, and an offline option. Convenient, reliable, and easy to use, let’s find out why Swann AllSecure is worth investing in.

Swann AllSecure features

The AllSecure650 Wireless Security Kit comes in two variations; with four wireless cameras or with two wireless cameras. These all-in-one solutions come with a range of benefits making them the ideal choice if you’re looking for complete home security.

Swann

Easy recharging

Using the Power Hub’s charging bay, you can easily recharge the wireless cameras using the spare battery. This makes it a breeze to switch out a depleted battery for a fully charged battery in no time at all.

2K resolution

2K HD wireless cameras provide rich and vivid images that allow you to zoom in to capture clear pictures. This is essential if you need to provide evidence due to a break-in or potential crime.

Power Hub

This charging bay means you can recharge the spare battery, so you always have one ready to switch out. It also provides backup power to the Hub for up to five hours in case of a power outage.

Wi-Fi connection

SwannNet means you can select whether the wireless security cameras connect to the internet via the NVR Power Hub or your home’s Wi-Fi. This ensures a reliable internet connection, so you can access your cameras wherever you are.

Swann

Night vision

Being able to see images clearly at night is essential for any home security solution. With the AllSecure650 wireless security cameras, you get colour video up to 32ft when the lights are on, or up to 100ft in black and white in total darkness.

Reliable detection

Swann’s True Detect triggers recordings and alerts using motion and heat sensors. For example, if the cameras detect car lights, they can send a push notification to your device and record the things you really want to know about.

Weatherproof

These wireless cameras are IP66 rated, so they can withstand rain, snow, and heat. No matter what season it is, you can get complete coverage for your home indoors and out.

Swann

Video storage

The 1TB HDD can store up to two years’ worth of video. This is incredibly generous and ensures you can keep the footage you need. You can also easily back up video footage to your Dropbox account or via USB.

AllSecure650 Wi-Fi NVR Power Hub

The Power Hub comes equipped with a battery port, microSD slot, HDMI port, LAN port, and two USB ports. It can support up to eight wireless cameras and can display up to 4K resolution. In addition to the included 1TB HDD, the Power Hub also supports up to 4TB additional storage via USB.

The system is compatible with iOS and Android, allowing you to download the Swann Security App. Here you can gain access to your security system and view multi-camera live streams. You can also subscribe to alerts and push notifications depending on what you want to be alerted to.

Swann

NVW-600CMB Wireless Camera

The wireless cameras included in the security kit (or available as extra security cameras) offer 2K quality and a 105-degree wide-angle lens. The built-in two-way microphone allows you to communicate with people that are near the cameras which is ideal for deliveries, inviting guests into your home, or even deterring potential criminals.

True Detect’s PIR thermal and motion sensor can operate in extreme temperatures, giving you accurate alerts. This is especially useful if you don’t want the cameras to notify you if someone walks past with a dog, for example.

Complete home security with easy installation

The Swann AllSecure is incredibly easy to set up, making it a solid choice for all types of customers. The included instructions are simple to follow, so you can easily DIY the process without having to hire a professional.

The included extra batteries are also really handy when you need to recharge the cameras, or in case of a power outage. Rather than having to access the camera to remove the battery and then return it once it’s recharged, you can simply switch out the battery and replace it instantly since it’s always being charged in the Power Hub.

For effortless home security that offers high-quality images and videos and ease of use, the Swann AllSecure is a no-brainer.

Go beyond smartphone photography with the compact Canon EOS R100

(Sponsored) Smartphone photography has come a long way in the last decade, but while phones can provide a quick means of taking a picture in the moment, they still can’t compete with the quality offered by dedicated cameras. For anyone looking to take the leap but unsure where to start, the Canon EOS R100 makes for the ideal first camera.

Having been in operation for almost a century, very few companies understand cameras quite like Canon, and it has used those expertise to develop a new approach in the Canon EOS R100, as a product that retains Canon’s high standards for image fidelity whilst using a clean UI and easy to understand controls designed for entry-level photographers.

For starters, to replicate the portability of modern smartphones, the Canon EOS R100 is effortlessly small. Weighing approximately 356g, the Canon EOS R100 can be held one-handed in a pinch and it can easily fit into a small camera bag or a compartment in your backpack, so you’ll never have to worry about being weighed down by unnecessary gear.

Canon R100

In spite of this portability however, the Canon EOS R100 packs a level of image quality that’ll have you wondering why you didn’t make the jump from smartphones to cameras before. Regardless of which lens you pair with the camera, the Canon EOS R100 can capture natural, unprocessed bokeh that can provide your photos with a cinematic flair, the likes of which smartphones can only accomplish with plenty of heavy-duty software, and even then there’s no guarantee that it’ll look as good as this.

Part of what helps the Canon EOS R100 to deliver this level of detail is the large 24.1MP APS-C imaging sensor that lets in far more light than even high-end smartphones, so that every picture can benefit not only from more vivid colours but also crisper textures which still make themselves known even when you need to crop a picture after the fact.

After you’ve taken your shots, you don’t even have to think about hooking the Canon EOS R100 up to a laptop or removing the SD card. When you’re ready to take a look at your shots, you can beam them straight to your phone via the Camera Connect app. This is perfect for any influencers or even those who simply like to update their social media stories regularly as it means you can upload your Canon EOS R100 shots straight to your favourite platforms in a matter of minutes, allowing your posts to stand out with the type of eye-catching detail that smartphones can’t match.

Cannon R100

Even though the Canon EOS R100 excels when it comes to stills, it by no means forgets about the videographers out there. Whether you’re looking to capture an epic moment or simply pick up day-to-day footage for a vlog, the Canon EOS R100 has you covered with gorgeous 4K and HD video. The Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus feature also ensures that your subject is always in focus, so you don’t have to worry about being left with any unusable footage at the end of a long shoot. 

For photos and video, the Canon EOS R100 can handle it all, but if you ever feel as if you need more time to wrap your head around how it all works then the camera’s guided menus can show you exactly what to do. The Canon EOS R100’s step by step interface has been designed this way so that in only a short time, even total beginners can capture jaw-dropping shots without any assistance.

Right now, you can save up to £200 on the Canon EOS R100 when you head on over to Currys. To see how the Canon EOS R100 can elevate your photography skills from the crowd, make sure to snap up one of Currys’ incredible discounts before they’re gone.
