The DOOGEE 2025 Android 15 tablet usually retails for a steep £149.99, but shoppers can currently grab one for 43 per cent off at £85.47. The 11-inch black tablet also comes in another colour option of blue, which is very slightly pricier at £89.99. The top-rated tablet promises enhanced security and privacy protection, as well as a range of high-tech features. Several easily-changed modes have been built into the tablet, allowing the user to customise the gadget to their needs. These include split-screen mode, parental mode for those who have wee ones, and low blue light mode to protect the user's eyes. The piece of tech also includes a Unisoc T606 processor which promises that the device won't lag or crash when in use. The sleek tablet weighs just 540g and measures 7.9mm thick, ensuring comfort and ease of use, and its HD screen promises a 'cinema experience' for streaming TV or gaming.

DOOGEE 2025 Newest Android 15 Tablet £149.99 £85.47 Amazon Shop Product Description Its extended battery life promises to last a 'whole day' according to its product description, and claims to offer up to 11 hours of video playback, 26 hours of music enjoyment, and eight hours of gaming before running out of charge. Those browsing alternative tablets may consider the Lenovo Tab 10.1in 128GB Wi-Fi Tablet, currently on offer for £119.99 on Argos. Or, for those with a higher budget, Argos is also selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 11in 64GB Wi-Fi Tablet for £209. But shoppers adore the discounted DOOGEE Android tablet, which has gained a very strong 4.5 star rating out of five, and over 1,000 have been snapped up in the last month. One pleased shopper wrote: "This tablet is an absolute gem! It's fast, responsive, and handles everything from streaming to gaming with ease. The display is bright and colourful, and the sound quality is brilliant. I love how lightweight and slim it is—very easy to carry around. "The battery lasts all day without needing a top-up, and the 16GB RAM with 128GB storage (expandable to 2TB!) makes multitasking a breeze. I've had zero issues using it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality Android tablet. I'm really happy with this purchase!" Yet a less satisfied shopper said: "Wish I hadn't bought it. After three months, I've had a chance to get to know it and I wish I'd known then what I know now. It takes over 8/10 hours to charge, and that's with a fast charging cable. "A lot of the apps no longer work as they should and in general it's not fit for purpose. I have obviously missed the return window so it's a lot of money to lose. I've written this review to hopefully prevent anyone else making the same mistake." But another happy customer wrote: "Sleek with its metallic design, this 11-inch beauty combines style with functionality, fitting into my school bag as easily as gossip from the P&T meeting. It features 16GB RAM and 128GB storage, and when the kids start talking about new apps, the 2TB expansion option is really useful! "Navigating through apps is a breeze thanks to the octa-core processor, although I sometimes wish the screen resolution was sharper, especially when streaming ""The Great British Bake Off."""The battery life is impressive, meaning fewer charges and more time for after-school adventures. In the end, the U11 offers a mix of practicality and performance, making those lesson planning sessions or Netflix binges a bit more enjoyable. It's a solid all-rounder for a budget-friendly option."

19 Outdated Pieces Of Technology That People Swear By
Technology continues to evolve so much that it's sometimes hard to keep up with. And, honestly? In some cases, the original or older gadgets do the job just fine. Recently, Redditor u/frozenflat asked those in the Reddit community to share the pieces of "outdated" tech that they still use and swear by, and you might find yourself looking for your wired headphones after reading these: "An iPod. It's like a vault of old songs that aren't released anymore from mixtapes or uncleared samples. Plus, mine has been going strong since 2007." —Resident_Fly_8428 "Writing on paper. I think the fact that it's a bit slower helps you think." "'Dumb' appliances." —TwentyOneTimesTwo"Yes. There is no conceivable reason anything in my kitchen or laundry room needs internet access. Ever."—Awkward_Pangolin3254 "A plumb bob. As a carpenter, I see a lot of younger guys using lasers on doorframes and such. I still prefer my trusty plumb bob." "Knobs and buttons, especially in cars. Keep your damn touch screens; I want tactile feedback." —FREDICVSMAXIMVS "Apparently, MicroSD cards are outdated, as everything tries forcing me to upload to the Cloud. Screw that noise." "Physical books! I like the heft of them, the smell of them, and flipping through the pages. I have no use for e-books." —Linux4ever_Leo "A filing cabinet. I still get all my utility bills by mail and file them each month. It's so much easier to figure out how much I pay in utilities on average each year by pulling out the 12 latest bills and a calculator." "Flip phones. Arguments hit harder when you can slam it shut." —Janisejane "A wristwatch. It's my concession to modernity, alright? I used to wear a pocket watch when I was younger, too. I like having an exclusive time-keeping device that isn't a device of mass distraction, like a phone." "A map and compass when hiking. GPS is great, but relying on it is asking for trouble, and you don't learn the ground the same way." —ImpressNice299 "A printer that you plug into a laptop with a cable. I've never had a printer that you need to use an app or Wi-Fi for it to work because there's always an issue." "Wired headphones are harder to lose, and you don't need to charge them. They provide reliability, and I prefer them over Bluetooth ones." —technic7 "A bicycle. I'm Dutch, so it's a different ball game for me. I see so many e-bikes zip by with people not wearing helmets. It's like they're in such a hurry to get into an accident. I'll stick to leaving on time on my old-fashioned bike so I can take my time, enjoy the scenery, and stay out of trouble." "A real, wall-hung calendar. It keeps our family life organization all in one place for all ages to see. Plus, you're forced to 'go home and check the calendar' when making appointments or when you get invited to things, which gives you time to stop, think, and assess how to best keep the balance of time commitments." —pollifilla "Physical media. Nothing beats having a movie, book, or game right in the palm of your hand. Nobody can push a button and turn it off or make it disappear. You bought it, so you own it until you decide to get rid of it." "Big ass headphones. I'm not falling for AirPod propaganda." —LeaderResponsible753 "CDs. I don't care if streaming is easier, I want to own my music. A physical collection is so much more satisfying than a playlist that might get removed somewhere down the line." Lastly: "A typewriter. There's no need for electricity, and it looks neat and professional. You can type on note cards and envelopes without fiddling with a settings screen, and it's a good way to disconnect if electronics distract you from working. Plus, it's still faster than handwriting." —Troncross Honestly, I wish I could still use my iPod Nano from middle school. What's a piece of outdated technology that you still use and swear by?

Storage Prices Are Going Nuts, Grab a New Samsung MicroSD Card With Adapter for Early Prime Day
Save 36% and get 512GB of super-fast storage for your smartphone, drone, digital camera, gaming console or handheld, and more. Storage prices, to put it politely, have been all over the place lately. You could get motion sickness watching them rise and fall and rise again, and there's of course the ever-present threat of tariffs that would suddenly balloon the prices of storage and many other tech goods. So when the roller-coaster of storage pricing rolls downward, it's smart to grab some while you can. Now's a good time, if Amazon's 36% off deal on the Samsung EVO Select MicroSD memory card and adapter is any indication. The new $35 sale price on the EVO Select 512 MicroSD card and adapter is an awesome opportunity to add fast, reliable storage to so many of your tech devices. It's compatible with Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets, of course, but also most other Android smartphones and tablets with a MicroSD slot. It's also compatible with iOS devices and iPads, and it's the default storage for drones and digital cameras. That's just for starters. See at Amazon So Tiny Yet So Big The Samsung EVO Select MicroSD card is smaller than a postage stamp, yet the 512GB storage capacity might be even larger than you'd imagine. How big is it? You can store 30 hours of 4K videos on it, or 80.5 hours of full HD videos — if you're a GoPro or drone enthusiast, that will be of particular interest. Still photographers or anyone looking to free up storage on their smartphone or tablet will appreciate the fact they can store over 207,000 4K photos or over 270,000 HD photos on that teeny card. The included adapter lets you fit the EVO Select MicroSD card into SD card slots, which comes in enormously handy if you're using an older laptop or desktop computer. With that much capacity, it's also a great accessory to move files from an older computer to a newer one or to different storage. Virtually Unkillable If the idea of moving so much of your precious photo and video artistry onto such a small and paper-thin chip makes you nervous, remind yourself that Samsung has been the world's No 1 flash memory brand since 2003, and the EVO Select MicroSD card is remarkably tough. It can withstand up to 72 hours submerged in seawater, extreme temperatures as low as -40 degrees or as high as 185 degrees Fahrenheit, and is a true beast when it comes to tolerating x-rays or magnets. The average lifespan of up to 10,000 swipes is as close to a lifetime of use as you can get. Predicting where the price of portable storage devices these days is a fool's errand, but you can be sure that the current Amazon sale that's offering the 512GB version of Samsung's EVO Select MicroSD card and adapter for just $35 is well worth hitting the buy button on.

Everything You Need to Know About MicroSD Express
What is the latest MicroSD iteration, and why does your Nintendo Switch need it? All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. I just got my Nintendo Switch 2, and my internal storage is already filling up with all my old games and saves! If you're in the same boat, you may have also noticed you can't just jam in the SD card from your original Switch and keep rocking. Instead, you'll need a new MicroSD Express card. This Express standard was introduced in late 2023, and it enables write speeds in the hundreds of megabytes, but until now it was used only for high-end digital cameras and niche use cases. As a result, the cards are few and far between, and they carry a significant price premium over the more common MicroSD cards. Before I get too caught up in the price and availability though, let's just go over what the difference is between Express and standard MicroSD cards and what it means for your Switch 2. Express Lane As you might have guessed from the name, MicroSD Express cards are faster, but to understand exactly what that means, we need to break down what we mean by speed and how it's measured and displayed on MicroSD cards. Normal, non-express cards use three metrics with some overlap in performance. We've got an in-depth technical guide if you want to know more about the non-express cards, but I'll give the short version here. There are three ranges: Speed Class, denoted with a C, UHS Speed Class, as marked by a U for Ultra High Speed Class, and Video Speed Class, with a V. Regardless of how it's displayed, the number indicates that the card is able to read and write at least that fast. For the Circle and the V, it's a direct comparison, so a circle with a '10' in it has a 10MB/s sustained write speed. There are two U variants, 1 and 3, which correspond to 10MB/s and 30MB/s respectively. Cards are almost always compatible with slower devices, so you may see multiple symbols and numbers on each card. The indicator for Express cards is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a stylized EX or E, sometimes with a number next to it. Once again, this represents the card's sustained write speed, with officially supported ranges from 150MB/s up to 600MB/s. Remember that these are minimum speeds, so you may see manufacturers quote even higher numbers, but whether you'll be able to support those speeds will depend on the device reading and writing to the card. That means your MicroSD Express card will also work as a V30 device when installed in a device that supports that standard, for example. Make sure not to confuse the actual new standard of Express with the performance adjective Extreme that many manufacturers use. Speed isn't the only difference. The overall card shape is the same, but the pins on the back have a different configuration. Most standard MicroSD cards use the UHS-I or UHS-II standard, with one or two rows of pins. The new Express card's pins have two rows in a more compact shape, but are still compatible with slower readers via the top row. If you aren't shooting high-resolution video, the main reason you'd want a MicroSD Express card is for the Nintendo Switch 2. A detailed page on the Nintendo website lists compatibility and requirements for the new device. While you can load images and videos from a regular MicroSD card onto the Switch 2, you'll need a proper Express card to use it like normal for save files and game data. One detail missing is the actual sustained write speed needed. There's a Nintendo-licensed Samsung MicroSD Express card listed with a release date of June, but it doesn't have detailed speeds listed either. We've reached out to Nintendo for more information and will update here when we hear back. Hands On If you just search for standard MicroSD cards on Amazon, the most common result will be cards with a 30MB per second write speed. A 128GB version of one of these cards starts around $10 and goes up to almost $20, and you can often find discounts if you buy multiple. A MicroSD Express card, on other hand, will run you upwards of $50 for the same 128GB capacity, a significant price jump for the extra speed boost. I was able to get my hands on two MicroSD Express cards at launch, one from SanDisk and one from PNY. While there are 128GB versions available, you only have one slot on the Switch 2, and games are quickly getting larger, so I'd recommend at least the 256GB models. The models I have tried so far are the SanDisk 256GB MicroSD Express for $72 and the PNY 256GB MicroSD Express for $56. This is normally where I'd show you some measurements from software like CrystalDiskMark with read and write speeds. Unfortunately the MicroSD Express standard is so new that I was only able to find one USB card reader on the market that supports it. While I work on acquiring one, I did a quick and dirty stopwatch test moving some games back and forth on the Switch 2. The Switch 2 was able to move Rocket Leauge, a 20.3 GB game, from the system's internal storage to the SanDisk in four minutes and 12 seconds, while the PNY took six minutes and 46 seconds to accomplish the same task. There wasn't as much of a gap to move the game from the card back to the system, with the SanDisk taking three minutes and 35 seconds, and the PNY taking three minutes and 22 seconds. For comparison, my original Switch moved that console's version of Rocket League, a 3.4GB game, to the regular MicroSD card in two minutes and 32 seconds, and back to the console in two minutes and 16 seconds. Games for the Switch 2 are so much larger, it makes sense Nintendo would push for a faster storage option to save you a lot of time, even if it costs you some bucks. Unless you own a Switch 2 or hi-res video camera, you can probably stick to standard MicroSD cards for now, but it is worth it for moving games quickly onto your system, especially if you have a larger catalog.
