With five programmes, this IPL hair removal aims to remove stubborn hair within a 24-minute full body session. It features a large button to activate the device and zap those pesky hairs.

BUY NOW FOR £299 Keskine's sell-out UPL hair removal device does exactly what it says on the tin. It has been designed to permanently eliminate any unwanted body hair across the body.

The IPL removal is SGS-certified so it is safe for home use. It also claims to show results within just four weeks, though optimal results are slated from six to 12 weeks.

Honor 400 Pro review: AI-powered photography and flagship features at a mid-range price
The Honor 400 Pro is a mid-ranger that focuses on AI-enhanced photography, powerful hardware, and a sleek design that rivals flagship models. It offers impressive value, but it's not without minor compromises. Design and build The 400 Pro sports a micro-curved design that offers a balanced blend of aesthetics and comfort, giving you a flat-feeling screen without the sharp edges. The finishes, particularly in Luna Grey and Midnight Black, look and feel premium, giving off flagship vibes. At 205g and 8.1mm thick, the 400 Pro is reasonably light, slim, and easy to handle without sacrificing performance. It's also built to endure, with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance and SGS-certified drop protection. After using the device daily for the last few weeks, I found it can handle everyday wear and tear, even a short drop on my kitchen tile floor. The glass back resists fingerprints surprisingly well, thanks to the silky smooth frosted texture, though a protective case is still recommended for peace of mind. Display The 6.7-inch AMOLED display delivers crisp visuals at 460 PPI, with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness, bright enough to stay legible under direct sunlight. Thanks to built-in AI enhancements, contrast, colour saturation, and brightness automatically adjust for optimal viewing. In real-world use, I never needed to adjust any of the display controls, including brightness, manually. The screen includes multiple TÜV Rheinland-certified protection modes and a unique 360° motion sickness relief feature, making it one of the most eye-friendly displays in its class. Hardware performance Under the hood, the Honor 400 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, offering substantial upgrades in both speed and efficiency. While this isn't the latest Snapdragon chipset, app launches are fast, multitasking is seamless, and AI-powered features run fluidly. Gaming performance is also solid. Frame rates remain consistent even during high-demand gameplay, helped by Honor's AI Game Thread Optimiser and the full-stack graphics engine borrowed from its Magic series. Charging and battery life The phone packs a 5,300mAh battery that charges rapidly and is compatible with the Honor 100W wired SuperCharge, which can bring it to full in under 30 minutes. It also supports Honor's 50W wireless charging. However, no charger is included in the box, so to achieve those high charging speeds, you'll need to purchase compatible adapters separately. In general, I could get a full day of use on a single charge, and often well into the evening of the second day. Honor's steady-carbon battery technology promises to retain 80% of its health after 1,200 charge cycles, translating to over four years of daily use without noticeable degradation. Cameras The Honor 400 Pro sets itself apart in photography. The 200MP main camera, with its large 1/1.4-inch sensor (f/1.9), delivers stunning detail and clarity, aided by optical and electronic stabilisation. Thanks to AI enhancements, the main lens also handles telephoto-like tasks, delivering sharp results even when digitally zoomed. The 50MP telephoto lens offers up to 50x zoom, and in many cases, it holds up remarkably well against premium flagships. However, while zooming up to 20x produces excellent results, as you approach 50x, detail diminishes, the AI takes over more aggressively, and image quality becomes less predictable. The ultra-wide and selfie cameras, at 12MP and 50MP respectively, are equally capable, rounding out a well-balanced imaging setup. Overall image quality is excellent, though there is a noticeable drop compared to the top-tier flagship camera phones on the market. AI features Many of the latest phones, including the 400 Pro, now come equipped with Google's AI-driven tools, collectively offering powerful enhancements that benefit everyday users. However, Honor has added some of its own features, including motion-sensing capture, which intelligently predicts the perfect moment to take a photo. Portrait mode sharpens facial features and simulates natural bokeh with a quality that rivals studio portraits. There's also a suite of creative tools that leverage Honor's on-device AI, including automatic background replacement, reflection removal, and object erasing, which is ideal for travel photos or social content. For video, Honor incorporates generative models from Google's Gemini to enable on-device video creation and editing, turning the phone into a compact content creation machine. Software Honor has committed to six years of Android OS and security updates for the Honor 400 Series, matching the long-term support seen from top-tier rivals. Honor devices will update to Android 16 in 2025, bringing advanced AI features developed with Google. Honor's close partnership with Google offers early access to new Android versions. Last year, it rolled out Android 15 Beta early; this year, Android 16 Beta 3 is already running on the Honor Magic7 Pro. It's a strong indication that Honor wants to be seen as a serious player in Android longevity and innovation. Verdict The Honor 400 Pro excels where it matters most: performance, battery life, and especially photography. Its AI features genuinely add value, enhancing the overall user experience. While the software interface could use a bit more refinement, the phone has few drawbacks when weighed against everything it gets right. €799 - Three, Harvey Norman and Tesco Mobile with availability in June.

Clean Floors, Clean Air: Tineco Makes Life Easier for Allergy Sufferers
NEUSS, Germany, March 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Allergens such as house dust, pollen and animal dander are a daily burden for many people - especially when they accumulate unnoticed in corners, on upholstery or in the air. Particularly in the allergy season, those affected suffer from itchy eyes, sneezing attacks or breathing problems, even within their own four walls. Thorough cleaning is therefore essential to remove allergy-causing particles and improve air quality in the long term. This is exactly where Tineco comes in: The specialist for smart household appliances offers innovative cleaning solutions that not only clean superficially, but also bind and remove allergens in depth. With advanced suction, wiping and filter technology, the appliances ensure a hygienic environment - without allergy sufferers coming into contact with dust and pollen again. Powerful trio against allergens Three powerful models take center stage: The PURE ONE STATION 5 Plus with its sealed dust container prevents allergens from re-entering the room air - a decisive advantage for sensitive airways. The PURE ONE A50S removes even deep-seated dust in hard-to-reach corners and nooks with its specially developed brush roller. And the FLOOR ONE STRETCH S6 removes dirt and fine dust even from under furniture thanks to innovative wet cleaning - for an all-round clean and allergy-friendly home. Under the motto "Remove hidden dirt and feel good", Tineco is launching a spring campaign to coincide with the allergy season and is presenting these three high-performance helpers for more effective and healthier cleaning. Three solutions for an allergy-friendly home: PURE ONE STATION 5 Plus - Sealed dust, free breathing The cordless smart vacuum cleaner does not need to be emptied after every clean, as it can hold dust for up to 45 days with its 2.5-liter eco dust container. The appliance is simply returned to the station after each cleaning, where it automatically cleans and recharges itself. This process prevents allergens from entering the air in the first place. The self-cleaning system ensures that the appliance cleans itself thoroughly after each use, from the brush to the tube and the filter to the dust container - without the need for manual disassembly. So it stays as good as new and is always ready for dust emergencies. The 12-stage, SGS-certified filter system captures 99.99 percent of dust particles down to a size of 0.3 μm (micrometers). The appliance therefore offers a highly reliable solution for healthier indoor air. PURE ONE A50S - Intelligent technology beats allergens Thanks to its 185 W suction power and a specially developed brush roller, the cordless stick vacuum cleaner takes on dust, heavy dirt and pet hair with ease - without clogging or tangling. Allergy sufferers can clean carpets and hard floors every day without any problems. The 3D Sense power brush technology has three things going for it: DustSense removes hidden allergens such as pollen or animal hair on carpets and hard floors and automatically adjusts the suction power. EdgeSense removes allergens that occur in frequent trigger zones such as corners. LightSense also illuminates dust in dark areas, making it easier to carry out a thorough spring clean. Overall, the cleaning efficiency of the 3D Sense Power brush has been increased by a full 66 percent. The PURE ONE A50S has an improved 6-stage filter system that captures 99.99 percent of dust and dirt particles down to a size of 0.3 μm. A fresh air option for allergy sufferers who might want a pet after all. FLOOR ONE STRETCH S6 - cleaning under furniture made easy Thanks to its 180° lay-flat design, the smart wet/dry vacuum cleaner can be easily maneuvered at a flat angle under almost any sofa, cupboard or in tight spaces. Even hidden dust and dirt is tracked down and completely removed. The FlashDry self-cleaning and self-drying system enables automatic deep cleaning of the appliance with 70°C hot fresh water - from the pipe to the brush roller. The subsequent drying at 70℃ effectively prevents the formation of odors and bacteria. Tineco's unique MHCBS technology ensures that the FLOOR ONE STRETCH S6 constantly cleans with fresh water. This keeps the brush clean during the cleaning process. Bacteria and allergens have no chance of spreading around the house. Anyone who takes part in the Tineco spring promotion on the Tineco landing page on March 13, 2025 can use the code TinecoSpring2025DE to receive a 50% discount voucher on all Tineco accessories in the official Tineco store. The promotion is expected to end on March 28, 2025. Note: The discount voucher can be redeemed once per user, is valid indefinitely and can be combined with other Tineco spring promotions. About Tineco Tineco was founded in 1998 and launched the world's first smart vacuum cleaner in 2019. Today, the brand has become one of the world's leading suppliers of smart household appliances, with products in the areas of floor care, kitchen and body care.
