The new Android 11 features that will actually change your phone

Android 11 will be released later in 2020 like clockwork, but developers and anyone happy to put up with a half-finished operating system - bored much? - can try it out now. A beta of the software is available here for Pixel 2, 3, 3a, and Pixel 4s. It has some, but not all, of the features of the final version. We've taken a look at the beta on one of Google’s Pixel smartphones to see what progress has been made. On reflection, some changes are long overdue, the kind of tweaks a 2016 buyer might expect to see in six months rather than four years. But we do get, at least, the addition of some useful changes already in place in Android 11.

Long-press the power button and you’ll see a new control screen. There are the usual buttons to reset and power off your p...

The new PlayStation 5 looks like a giant broadband router

A new console launch is always cause for excitement, even in the midst of a pandemic. Enter Sony with its big PS5 unveiling, imaginatively titled 'PS5: The Future of Gaming Show', which teased more than it satisfied, but gave us a good opportunity to see what the next generation of games will look like. Assuming you haven't already skipped to the good stuff, let's get to it. What did I miss? Sony mainly used the event as an extended sizzle reel for the eclectic collection of exclusives coming to the console, though it wasn't clear which would launch with the console later this year.  The most immediately interesting were Spider-Man: Miles Morales , a follow-up to last year's hugely popular game featuring the lead from the critically acclaimed animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse , and Horizon: Forbidden West , a sequel to the equally popular Horizon: Zero Dawn . The latter, in particular, looked stunning. Sony also revealed t...
