As the debate around Scotland's possible vote for independence heats up, some have wondered what that will mean for the UK's striking Union Jack Flag. Should it retain the Scottish blue elements if the nation breaks away? And if it shouldn't, is it time a new flag was introduced? Read More >>

Waterproof, capable of 4K video recording and thin enough to slice butter, Sony's new Xperia Z2 flagship is already looking like the phone to beat at MWC 2014. Read More >>

If the top-of-the-line Xperia Z2 is looking a little out of your price range, Sony’s shorter, stouter, slower Xperia M2 Android handset may be a better fit for your bank balance. Read More >>

The tablet market is busier than it’s ever been, but Sony’s Xperia Tablet Z, with its waterproofing, minimalist design and super-slim frame, always felt like a unique prospect. While the impact of today’s reveal of the Xperia Z2 Tablet is lessened by familiarity with its excellent predecessor, it’s still looking like a very impressive slate. Read More >>

When Apple announced that its iOS 7 update would include a gamepad API, it was heralded as the final step towards iPhones and iPads becoming hardcore gaming devices. The slew of shoddy controllers that have so far followed poured water on that dream, but Mad Catz is hoping that its C.T.R.L i gamepad will change all that. Read More >>

Microsoft’s newly acquired phone division is pumping out the hardware at great pace, with the Lumia 1320 offering six inches of fun and a 5-Megapixel camera for capturing evidence of said fun. It won't win any beauty contests, or smallest-phone contests, but it’s not terrible. Don't be a Windows Phone denier, it’s really not that bad. Read More >>

The iPad air is a beautiful bit of design, but it's also a slight, delicate little thing. It's built to last, but even Apple's engineers haven't mastered defending it against the horrors of the loose change and pointy pens running wild in your rucksack. It needs some protection, and your arms need a rest from holding it up while you binge on that latest House of Cards season. Read More >>

What happens when you squeeze 20 Giz readers, a handful of Sony community members, and the latest Sony audio, TV and camera products into a room decorated to look like a football pitch? Goals are made all over the place (of the £10k worth of kit readers wanted to win, anyway). If you weren't able to make the event, never fear though, as Sony's giving away an extra 65-inch 4K TV right now. Read More >>

The PS Vita sheds its baby fat as Sony looks to go on the offensive with its handheld console, following a surge of goodwill in the wake of the PlayStation 4 launch. This slimline version makes some worthy additions, but also removes one of the Vita’s standout features, swapping out its OLED for an LCD. It’s a compromise, and one that poses a bit of a dilemma for would-be owners. Read More >>

It's the new thing phone makers do. Release a massive important flagship model to huge fanfare, then, a few months later, pretend it's too big and launch a smaller mini variant for those after something not so huge. The key thing here is Sony's not scrimped on the internals for this shrunken model. The Z1 Compact really is a big phone in a small case. Read More >>

Sony's heavy metal heaven, the 5-inch Xperia Z1, landed on our desks last September and was quickly awarded an almost-perfect review rating. While most companies busily chuck out specs when shrinking phones, Sony's retained all of the flagship Z1's guts in what it called an "engineer's nightmare," for the 4.3-inch Xperia Z1 Compact.

They are the grey eminences of aviation. They are doing what they have to do without any ado. We hardly notice them when we take a flight from A to B. However, cargo aircraft can be as interesting and special as fighter planes or passenger aircraft. We are going to prove this. Read More >>

Motorola has lifted the covers off its oft-leaked Moto G handset, the company’s first globally-available smartphone effort since snuggling under Google’s sizeable wing. Looking to court the many smartphone users that can't afford premium handsets, it's looking to push the boundaries of what a smartphone in the mid-tier price bracket can offer. And from our early hands-on play, it's looking promising, especially considering its sub-£140 price tag. Read More >>

One of the first advantages Nokia launched into when talking about the 2520 tablet is the "ultra-readability" of the 10.1-inch display when in direct sunlight. With Gorilla Glass 2, it should hopefully prove just as durable, too. Running Windows RT 8.1, it also comes with 4G LTE-connectivity as standard. Read More >>

The phablet world just saw two new monsters roar into town -- Nokia's mammoth 6-inch, 1080p resolution-screened phone, the Gorilla Glass 2-displayed 1520, and a lower-specced 1320. With a third column of live tiles, there'll be ample homescreen space for adding new Windows Phone 8 apps Vine and Instagram (yes, really) shortcuts. Updating live... Read More >>

The HTC One has been the darling of the smartphone scene this year, wowing reviewers (even if not wholly winning over the public when it came to sales). As is now customary, it's to be flanked by the HTC One Mini and, rounding off the smartphone size holy trinity, this, the HTC One Max. It's bigger, and comes complete with some quirky new features. But bigger doesn't always mean better. Read More >>
