Xperia is even smarter
AFTER being revealed in February, Sony’s new Xperia 1 II is now available to buy.

SAMSUNG is launching two new laptops with a clever trick up their sleeves.
The latest Galaxy Book Flex and Galaxy Book Ion arrive with a QI wireless charger hidden under the trackpad.
That means when your phone is running low on juice, these laptops will give it an instant refill without requiring any annoying cables.
Along with that battery boosting tech, you’ll be treated to Samsung’s QLED displays which are not only pin sharp but also feature a bright mode for working in the sunshine.
Other bonus extras packed inside include fast Intel processors, a fingerprint scanner for quick access to your files and fast refilling batteries that last for almost 20 hours.
If you buy the Galaxy Book Flex you get a clever design which flips over so it can be used just like a tablet.
And, to make things more useful, Samsung has tucked a Galaxy Note-style pen inside the case so you can draw and scribble on the screen without using your finger.
