SUPERTEST SSUPERPHONES
Samsung has shot
to the front of the
pack faster than
Boris Johnson in
a buffet queue: the Galaxy
S8 is a stunning slab of
smartphone excellence
that deserves a spot in
your pocket. It’s fast, takes
fantastic photos and has the
best screen out there, bar
none. Those supermodel
good looks, curved sides and
baby screen bezels mean
you won’t want to give it
back once you’ve got one
in your hand.
OnePlus might still have
the edge when it comes to
pure value, and Apple fans will
probably stick to what they
know rather than switching
to Android, but with VR
support, the ability to double
as a desktop PC and an AI
assistant with potential, the
S8 is a clear winner.

Aukey 5000mAh
Mini Power Bank
Small enough for a pocket,
but with enough juice to
recharge an S8 and still have some left
in the tank. It’s got a USB-C connection
and can handle 5V/3A quick charging.

Ikea Riggad table lamp
No need to mess about with
cables – plonk your S8 on
one of these and let it charge
wirelessly. The A++ energy-rated lamp
is magnificently minimal, so no-one will
know about its tech trickery.

Withings Steel HR
The Steel HR has subtle
looks and analogue hands,
but prod the crown and a
secondary digital screen springs into
life. It’s got all the tracking tech you
need, including a heart-rate sensor.
