Google Nexus 5

So we've updated our review with the new phone software, and thankfully things are a lot better now. The battery is improved, the camera a little more stable, and the low cost is still in place. You already know we like Android 4.4, the clever implementation and the £299 price tag. We love the high power CPU, the quality screen; even the rubberised outer shell. You can get the LG G2 for around the same price now though, and that offers a far superior camera, better battery life and a huge slew of extra features - it really depends if you're a fan of the stripped-down experience. Quick verdict We're glad to put this smartphone higher up in the rankings, as it's one of the cheapest out there in terms of bang for buck. It's a great phone that hits the marks well - it lacks something in terms of innovation, but that's not a problem for those that want to be able to run all manner of apps and games at a decent price. It doesn't come in at the same price point as previous Nexii, but it's still jolly cheap. Google Nexus 5 review See the best Nexus 5 deals

 Apple makes applications to trademark iWatch name

Apple has made several applications to trademark the brand “iWatch”, fuelling speculation that the iPhone maker could soon launch its first new category of product since Tim Cook became chief executive. The trademark registrations come as Google, Samsung and other electronics companies ready their own smart watches, despite existing devices so far failing to find appeal beyond a niche group of early adopters.
