Pros Decent processor Interesting tech packed-in Detailed daylight photos Cons Seriously expensive Serious screen quality issues Some camera focus problems Review Price £649.99 Key Features : 6-inch flexible plastic OLED display; Self-healing rear; 13-megapixel camera Manufacturer: LG What is the LG G Flex? The LG G Flex is not a normal phone. It’s not here to square up to mobiles like the Samsung Galaxy S5. It is here to prove a point, to prove that certain things can be done. It is a curved phone with a self-healing back. It’s a mutant, a weirdo – a proof of concept, if not quite a statement of intent for the rest of LG's 2014 phones. As a demo of new technologies it’s interesting. However, as a phone you’ll have to pay more than £500 for, it’s a no-go LG G Flex: Design and the Curve The LG G Flex’s curved screen is its spotlight-stealing feature. However, its sheer size is also worth noticing. This is a 6-inch phone, sitting in the awkward midd...

The Pros Slim, sexy design; Innovative secondary screen ; Switchblade UI has been expanded to use more creative professional apps; Solid graphics and overall performance; Excellent battery life The Cons Runs hot when gaming; A tad expensive Verdict The Razer Blade Pro retains its sleek design and adds a new, improved Switchblade UI for gamers and creative professionals. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but Jack has to work sometime. The 17-inch Razer Blade Pro ($2,399 as tested) retains the stunning good looks and the innovative LCD touchpad of the original, but added several new shortcuts designed for game development, photo and music editing as well as apps to improve your gaming. Throw in an Intel Core i7 CPU, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 860 GPU and more than 6 hours of battery life and you've got a lean, mean gaming machine that can also help you create your next masterpiece. -  Design Razer has left the Blade Pro's design practically unchanged since i...

The 911 Turbo S is blindingly fast. I mean that not as a figure of speech, but quite literally. This car blinds you. Human eyes cannot cope with the sheer force of detonating from a standstill past 60mph in three seconds, the Turbo S flinging itself off the line with a lot of noise and just a hint of wheelspin. Clench your jaw, squint, gurn, it's all useless: as launch control bites, the windscreen starts to swim, the scenery closes in around you, and then, for what must be no more than a few milliseconds but feels far longer, all is a blur as the g-force squeezes your eyeballs' vital fluids in directions vital eyeball fluids shouldn't go. It is addictive and unsettling, not acceleration in the traditional sense, but something rawer: thrust, the sensation of a jet aeroplane on take-off, a relentless surge seemingly independent of tarmac and tyres. Ease off the throttle, and the world wobbles back into view. It's official: the 911 Turbo S is too fast for eyes. Not a b...

The Good   With its flexible display, great set of controls and generally streamlined design, the Olympus PEN E-PL7 hits quite a few high notes. The Bad  It might be a little too complicated for newbies, and the grip could be bigger. The Bottom Line   A likeable interchangeable-lens model, the Olympus PEN E-PL7's overall package makes an attractive alternative to an advanced compact and has quite a bit to offer as a first ILC. Design and features The camera feels quite well built and nicely designed, both aesthetically and functionally. While it has a similar feel as the E-PL5, the E-PL7 has a more retro-type two-tone look than its predecessor and redesigned controls that have a more enthusiast-oriented feel. The grip's now permanently attached, but it's still relatively shallow; that's not a big problem with small, lightweight lenses, but if you're planning to use some of the faster, heavier pro lenses they tend to overbalance the camera.
