This month’s first test sees the Honor Magic8 Pro given a thorough grilling. The firm’s latest Android flagship doubles down on everything that made its predecessor so compelling, including a powerful 200MP zoom lens and an even bigger battery. But will it be enough to unseat the OnePlus 15 as our top Android pick?

Elsewhere you’ll find an in-depth look at Apple’s updated Vision Pro. M5 silicon brings even more power to the mixed reality headset, and software smarts have come on since the initial effort, but the price aimed solely at oligarchs remains. We also get gaming on the HP Omen 16 Max laptop, break out the popcorn for the Wanbo Vali 1 compact projector, and mark 40 years of the Legend of Zelda franchise by shining a light on all the times Princess Zelda herself became a playable character.

The new ‘entry-grade’ Fujifilm X-T30 III compact system camera is out long term test subject this month. Find out how fun Fuji features like film simulations have hit an even more appealing price point, without having to skip out on the firm’s latest and greatest image processor.

That’s on top of all the regular columns, features and a generous helping of new products in the Hot Five section. Plus you could win a1 of 5 Wiser Smart Thermostat Kits worth £353 each in our competition!
