Alcatel One Touch Idol X+

Boasting a whopping eight cores of power, a 2 GHz chip and 2GB RAM, this one seriously beefed up smartphone. There's a 5-inch, full HD display to gaze upon, while the rear camera packs 13.1-megapixels and it's all crammed in a 7.9mm shell. It's not all good though as 4G LTE is lacking and out of the box it'll only come running Android version 4.2 (we're on 4.4 now) layered with Alcatel's skin. Price: $250 (UK price TBA) | Alcatel One Touch ...

You'll also be able to snap photos with a voice command - clever. Price: TBA | ZTE ...

Multi-touch Keyboard and Mouse

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the future of computing. The entire thing is operated by touch control, and thanks to the lack of moveable parts and the tempered glass surface, this keyboard isn't going to break down after a small spillage.

M-Phone

Hoping to one day be an alternative to the iPhone, the slender handset has a screen that is divided by a thin metal band which means you can customize the lower screen to browse the web as you make a video call on the other half.

Philips DesignLine 2013

Philips takes minimalism to the extreme with its latest 46- or 55-inch, 3D smart TV.

Cambridge-based audiophiles’ fave Cyrus is celebrating its 30th anniversary in style. It’s taken seven high-end components – a digital to analogue converter with pre-amp, CD transport, network streamer, twin mono power amps and power supplies – from its X Series and thrown them all together for a oneoff mega-tower. After a year of finetuning in a purpose-built studio, it’s finally ready for public consumption and comes with a seven-shelf Hark II storage rack, a remote and a dedicated app. You will need to provide your own speakers, mind. Price: £17,000 | Cyrusaudio.com | Out now ...

Sony Xperia Z Ultra

The Xperia Z’s phablet-sized relative has a 6.3-inch, full-HD screen and an inherited disregard for the perils of water – it’s encased in waterproof aluminium and glass that lets it dive up to 1.5m. Protected inside sits a 2.2GHz quadcore processor and there’s an eight-meg camera on the rear. It may be big, but at just 212g it won’t sink like a stone. And at just 6.6mm thick it’s competing with Huawei’s Ascend P6 (p30) for the title of world’s slimmest smartphone, too. Price: £TBC | Sony.co.uk | Out Autumn ...

Sony Smartwatch 2

Pressing on with its wearable-tech revolution, Sony updates the Android-based smartwatch that it released to a chorus of groans last year.

The 1.6-inch, 220x176 display is water- and dust-proof, with a “four-day battery life”. We’ll see about that… ...

Samsung Galaxy NX

Splicing gadget genes without regard for the consequences, Samsung’s latest experiment is the Galaxy NX, a compact system camera running on Android, with 4G for easy shot-sharing. A 20.3-meg APS-C CMOS sensor with 100-25,600 ISO suggests the possibility of pro-grade shots, and dualchannel Wi-Fi kicks in should 4G or 3G be lacking. There’s also Bluetooth for more local sharing. Essentially a camera that thinks it’s a phone, it’s not to be confused with Samsung’s Galaxy Zoom (p24), which is a phone that thinks it’s a camera. Price: £TBC | Samsung.com/UK | Out July ...

Bose QuietComfort 20

Bose’s first in-ear headphones to offer noise-cancelling tech use dual mics in each lug to detect and counter outside sounds, insulating you in a cocoon of your own tunes. However, press a button on the slightly bulky control unit and said mics can also allow you to hear what’s going on around you, via the miracle of “Aware mode”. This lets mid to high frequencies through so you can hear station announcements and the like. The battery provides up to 16 hours of noise cancellation on a single charge, with a full rejuicing via USB taking two hours....

British firm Bayan drops in on the busy Bluetooth speaker scene with this stylish 15W effort. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 4.0, using the apt-X codec for improved sound, and NFC for easy setup.

Beats by Dre Studio 2013

Forgotten about Dre? The hip-hop cum- headphone mogul has been busy updating his top-priced Studio cans, “popping a cap” in AAA batteries and opting for a rechargeable lithium number instead. The result is a quoted 20 hours of active noise cancelling that adjusts sound levels to match your surroundings. Improved padding and ergonomics means less sound leakage, while a 13g weight reduction lightens the load, though the price remains heavy, like Heavy D and the Boyz. Price: £269 | Beats | Out now ...

Fresh from a workshop in Kent comes this industrial-looking media streamer with a chassis machined from aircraft-grade aluminium.

Low-level distortion and audio jitters are eliminated whether you’re streaming via ethernet cable or from a Wi-Fi connected iOS or Android device. A full-colour 3.5-inch LCD screen displays album artwork, meanwhile. Price: £7,500 | Chord Electronics | Out now ...

Geneva Wireless S DAB+

You may feel that this looks familiar and that’s because it’s visually all but indistinguishable from the Geneva S, the designer dock found in as many designer interiors shops as it is audio outlets. However, this version drops the iPod dock of its forerunner for Bluetooth wireless audio support from any compatible device – a big improvement, in our book. Also on board are DAB and DAB+ and, perhaps most cutting-edge of all, “alarm clock functionality”. It still looks and sounds just peachy. Price: £329 | Geneva Lab | Out now ...

Motorola Droid Maxx

Motorola Farm’s been on lockdown since it was swallowed by Google, but the sound of buzzsaws and screaming as it works on the next Android flagship, the Moto X, has been deafening. No sign of that this month, but this faded giant has revealed three new handsets, of which this 4G trooper is the pick, thanks to a muscular, 48-hour-lasting, 3,500mAh battery. Its charms don’t end there, either: voice recognition is integrated into Google Now (you get its attention by saying, “Okay, Google Now”) while the Kevlar-clad, 8.5mm body also houses an “eight-core” processor – two for general...

British-designed and built, the UnitiQute 2 is the digital equivalent of a one-man band, with plug ’n’ play wireless streaming, five inputs for boosting the audio of your games consoles and set-top boxes, a DAB+ tuner, USB slot, a harmonica on a wire and cymbals between its knees. Its 30W amp delivers wholesome sound with big bass and Naim’s audio tricks, in the form of gapless playback and digital-to-analogue conversion, make the most of any playlist. It’ll play every musical file format under the sun and thanks to the free n-Stream iOS app, you can control the whole...

Philips Elevation TV

You can now paint more of Philips’ colourful, patented Ambilight glow across your walls with its latest, 60-inch, full-HD smart TV. The Elevation is the first to emit light from all four sides, in shimmering shades that match the on-screen action. It’s also compatible with Philips’ Hue bulbs, so the theme can be splattered even further a field. The 13.5mm frame makes it the slimmest Philips smart TV yet and there is, of course, Wi-Fi for on-demand TV from Netflix and YouTube, plus access to web apps and your own media. ...

Papertab
