Along with the memory and processor, the cost-cutting axe also fell on the cameras, with only a 5MP front-facer and an 8MP snapper on the rear. Neither of these cameras is especially impressive and they have issues that we’ll cover later in this review.

This gadget from Omron Healthcare is worn around your wrist, displays the time, tracks your steps — and monitors your blood pressure, too.

The other big selling point of the Poptel P8 is that it has IP68 certification, meaning that it can handle some water and dust immersion without immediately failing. Poptel doesn’t go beyond the minimum IP68 spec, saying that the phone will survive immersion in water to a depth of 1.2m for 30 minutes.

The ThinkPad X1 Tablet proves that Lenovo can make a great detachable 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet computer. It’s not cheap, but offers similar or better specifications than its chief rival the Microsoft Surface Pro, including the much-needed modern port selection of Thunderbolt 3.

The additional support will be dealt in one-year increments for up to three years and support will be sold on a per-device basis, rather than the per-user approach Microsoft has pushed for Windows 10 licensing. Prices "will increase each year," Spataro confirmed. However, Microsoft did not reveal Windows 7 ESU’s costs or the exact nature of what would be provided.

Asus says you should be able to get up to 30 days of standby time and I totally believe that, even though the system supports “modern standby,” which means that while the system is sleeping it can stay connected to WiFi and receive incoming emails and other messages so that they’re available for review as soon as you turn on the display.

Benchmarks do not always fairly represent any given piece of hardware though and that is certainly the case here. Although the display size is such that it really makes almost no sense to download anything with lots of on-screen controls, we were able to run through a dozen or so races on Asphalt 9: Legends with no signs of lag in sight. The main driving method in that game is fairly hands-off, making for a great experience — setting aside the very low screen resolution and the need for the smartphone to be held as near the face as comfortably possible. Other apps such as Helix Jump were not quite so much fun due to the need to swipe across the screen, blocking almost the entire view and making accurate play impossible. To the contrary, using intensive photo editing apps like Prisma or Pixlr was equally smooth and similarly only hampered by the scale of the viewing real estate. So using this smartphone just like any other isn’t completely out of the question under the majority of circumstances for those who won’t be bothered by the tiny display.

And on Nov. 20, Microsoft announced that users can sign in to its online services via the Edge browser using FIDO2 devices.
