Tech Advisor – February 2026

What’s Inside This Issue

This month’s Tech Advisor brings practical guidance and clear-eyed analysis to the devices people actually use every day. If you own a Samsung Galaxy S25, the One UI 8.5 beta story will catch your attention immediately, with details on how to join and what the new interface promises to change. Pixel 10 users get a fix for a delayed Google Maps power-saving mode that can add hours of navigation time — perfect for anyone who has watched their battery dip during a long drive.

Hands-On Reviews and Buying Advice

The issue tests a broad range of hardware, including the OnePlus 15, Motorola Edge 70, Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 and Tab S11 Ultra, and Apple Watch Series 11. Each review focuses on what matters in daily use: battery life, display quality, performance, and whether the upgrade is worth your money. The reviewers avoid hype and give straightforward verdicts.

Android Tips and Hidden Features

A dedicated feature uncovers five Android settings that are often overlooked but can make your phone feel new again. These are not obscure tricks; they are useful tweaks that improve everyday usability. If you have ever felt your smartphone was becoming dull, this section offers a quick remedy.

Beyond the Headlines

Tech Advisor also looks ahead at Apple Glasses, explaining why Apple’s next major product category might be more interesting than the rumoured iPhone 18. It explains the significance of a first AI-centred device and the market impact smart glasses could have. On the wearables front, the Pebble Index 01 smart ring is covered with a focus on its unusual memory-based approach rather than pure health tracking.

Tech Advisor Awards

Finally, the issue celebrates the best new tech from the past twelve months. The awards cut across phones, tablets, wearables, and accessories, offering a useful snapshot of the products that genuinely stood out. It’s a helpful reminder of what delivered real value in a crowded year.
