Welcome To issue 54 « Welcome Check out the all-new Sony Xperia Z4 tablet on page 64 MEET THE TEAM What device would you have in your dream smart home? Jack Parsons Editor I can’t wait to have my own robot butler, like Robby from Forbidden Planet, so I’m hoping Amazon Echo will get a UK launch at some point. Jamie Frier Staff Writer As a Harry Potter nerd I’d love a Weasley clock or Marauder’s Map-style app so I know when to avoid my housemate in the kitchen. Adam Markiewicz Senior Designer Using an Android app I would like to change the colour or wallpaper image of my walls, which are covered with LED ‘paint’. The death of the tablet has been greatly exaggerated. Ever-expanding smartphone screens, including the high-profile release of the 6-inch Nexus 6 and 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 4 last year, have certainly led to a slump in slab sales. But people don’t shop for a new tablet as often as they do phones, partly because they don’t buy them on contract, and tablets rarely offer the same sort of ‘must-have’ features. One area where the need for tablets is increasing is at work. Analytics firm Forrester Research has found workers are likely to bring their personal tablets to the office with them, and nearly a third (29 per cent) of businesses provide employees with their own work tablets. With more and more Microsoft apps available for mobile, your Android tab could soon be your ultimate productivity tool. Sony certainly thinks so; turn to page 64 to read our review of the Xperia Z4 Tablet that comes with a Bluetooth keyboard. You can also read our review of the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 on page 68 and our profile of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 on page 7. If you think your smartphone or tablet could use an upgrade, but aren’t looking to buy a new one, check out our 101 hacks from page 12. While testing these out, our writer experienced 8 hours extra battery life and found their Nexus 5 ran 70 per cent faster. You can also discover how to upgrade your home with our guide to smart home gadgets from page 20. Jack Parsons Editor GET IN TOUCH What do you think?
