Guides and stories

Google Pixel 11 Pro review: two weeks as my only phone, and one question from my dad
My dad wants a phone that lasts until he's 81. I wanted to know if Google's new Pro is worth £1,079. Fourteen days, one flight and a deer park answered both.
Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro review: the new 4K model on a stone house in Sheffield
A former repair man fits Ring's 4K battery doorbell to a stone doorframe, counts 1,236 alerts in 54 days and works out what it really costs over three years.
