Product Description
Its extended battery life promises to last a 'whole day' according to its product description, and claims to offer up to 11 hours of video playback, 26 hours of music enjoyment, and eight hours of gaming before running out of charge.
Those browsing alternative tablets may consider the Lenovo Tab 10.1in 128GB Wi-Fi Tablet, currently on offer for £119.99 on Argos. Or, for those with a higher budget, Argos is also selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 11in 64GB Wi-Fi Tablet for £209.
But shoppers adore the discounted DOOGEE Android tablet, which has gained a very strong 4.5 star rating out of five, and over 1,000 have been snapped up in the last month.
One pleased shopper wrote: "This tablet is an absolute gem! It's fast, responsive, and handles everything from streaming to gaming with ease. The display is bright and colourful, and the sound quality is brilliant. I love how lightweight and slim it is—very easy to carry around.
"The battery lasts all day without needing a top-up, and the 16GB RAM with 128GB storage (expandable to 2TB!) makes multitasking a breeze. I've had zero issues using it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality Android tablet. I'm really happy with this purchase!"
Yet a less satisfied shopper said: "Wish I hadn't bought it. After three months, I've had a chance to get to know it and I wish I'd known then what I know now. It takes over 8/10 hours to charge, and that's with a fast charging cable.
"A lot of the apps no longer work as they should and in general it's not fit for purpose. I have obviously missed the return window so it's a lot of money to lose. I've written this review to hopefully prevent anyone else making the same mistake."
But another happy customer wrote: "Sleek with its metallic design, this 11-inch beauty combines style with functionality, fitting into my school bag as easily as gossip from the P&T meeting. It features 16GB RAM and 128GB storage, and when the kids start talking about new apps, the 2TB expansion option is really useful!
"Navigating through apps is a breeze thanks to the octa-core processor, although I sometimes wish the screen resolution was sharper, especially when streaming ""The Great British Bake Off."""The battery life is impressive, meaning fewer charges and more time for after-school adventures. In the end, the U11 offers a mix of practicality and performance, making those lesson planning sessions or Netflix binges a bit more enjoyable. It's a solid all-rounder for a budget-friendly option."
The discounted DOOGEE 2025 Android 15 Tablet is available on Amazon HERE.

[EMB 20/8 @ 5PM BST] Pixel 10 revealed: Everything you need to know about Google's new flagship phone
At first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Google has just announced the Pixel 9 all over again. The Pixel 10 bears more than a passing resemblance to last year's phone (ironic given that the marketing targets Apple fans bored by iterative iPhone updates), but underneath the familiar chassis are some head-turning AI features, new cameras and the addition of MagSafe-style charging. Powered by the new Tensor G5 chip, the Pixel 10 promises to weave an on-device AI helper throughout the entire Android experience, from proactively assisting you by floating relevant information from across apps to translating phone calls in real-time and in your voice. Like last year's phones, the new series will include the entry-level Pixel 10, the more advanced Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, as well as Google's third folding phone, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Prices remain unchanged at £799 for the base phone, £999 and £1,199 for the Pro and Pro XL, and £1,749 for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. All of the non-folding phones launch 28 August and are available to pre-order from today, and the foldable will follow on 9 October. Interested? Sure you are, you little Android fiend. Here's everything you need to know about the new Google Pixel 10 series. Let's get the obvious out of the way: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and the larger Pro XL look almost identical to last year's phones. Fresh new colours notwithstanding, their own mother would struggle to tell them apart. That said, I've no complaints about the recycled design of the Pixel 10 series. They retain the sleek, pill-shaped camera island and polished aluminium frames that debuted with the Pixel 9. Screens are brighter across the board, with the standard Pixel 10 sporting a 6.3in screen and the Pro models offering a more expansive 6.8in display. The biggest physical change is one you'll feel rather than see. Google has finally embraced the Qi2 wireless charging standard, introducing a MagSafe-style magnetic ring to the back of the entire Pixel 10 series. Called 'Pixel Snap', it allows the phone to charge at up to 25W and magnetically snap to a whole new family of magnetic accessories, finally catching up to the convenience that iPhone users have enjoyed for years. In terms of colours, the standard Pixel 10 will arrive in four colourful shades: a vibrant 'indigo', pale blue 'frost', yellow-green 'lemongrass' and dark grey 'obsidian'. Both the Pro and Pro XL phones come in 'obsidian', white 'porcelain', grey 'moonstone' and green-tinted 'jade'. That mid-grey 'Moonstone' seems to be the star of the range. The new colourway features on the lightly updated Pixel Buds Pro 2, which will be available at the same time as the Pixel 10 series. Tensor G5 While the outside hasn't changed, the Pixel 10's innards have been overhauled. The phone's new brain is the Tensor G5 chip. Designed in-house, the latest 3nm processor is designed to handle complex machine learning and AI tasks directly on the device, rather than sending your data to the cloud. Google claims it represents a 'monumental leap' in performance over last year's phone, enabling a host of new on-device assistant features that are more predictive and context-aware than ever. Leading the charge is Magic Cue, an invisible AI agent that helpfully surfaces suggestions based on what you're doing. Google showed me a few examples: when a friend messages to suggest dinner, Magic Cue can analyse the context, check your calendar for availability and then pop up a suggestion to reply with the times you're free, all without having to switch apps. Another example showed the Pixel 10 displaying your flight information on-screen when you call an airline (though who still does that?) or your reservation details when you call a restaurant. Magic Cue is designed to reduce the number of taps and app-swapping required to find important information and get things done, and pulls in data from across your calendar, inbox, maps and more. The latest Galaxy phones offer a similar experience with the context-aware Now Bar. A new feature called Voice Translate can now translate a phone call in both directions, not just with text, but by generating an AI-cloned version of your own voice speaking the other caller's language. I've tested a similar feature on the Samsung Galaxy S25 series – which translates using a generic voice rather than your own – with mixed success, so it will be interesting to see if Google can crack this use case with the Pixel 10. The real-world usefulness of these features will only become clear with extensive hands-on testing – not to mention that Google has a track record of over-promising and under-delivering on Pixel AI tech – but I welcome a phone that anticipates your needs rather than just reacting to your commands. Cameras One of the biggest differences between the standard Pixel and the pricier Pro models has been the lack of a dedicated zoom lens on the cheaper handset. Google has addressed this with the entry-level Pixel 10, which at £799 now comes equipped with a 5x optical telephoto lens, a big upgrade that makes it a more comprehensive camera package. The new lens joins an upgraded 48MP main sensor and a 13MP ultrawide lens with macro focus. Meanwhile, the Pro models manage to pull away from the standard Pixel 10's camera hardware with a new 50MP main lens, a 48MP ultrawide and a new 48MP periscope telephoto lens capable of a staggering 100x Pro Res Zoom from the 5x optical zoom lens. Pro Res Zoom isn't just a digital crop with a bunch of sharpening applied – it's potentially much weirder than that. Zoom in far enough and Google will use AI diffusion models – the same technology behind generative AI art – to add missing detail back into the shot. It's an audacious bit of photo-fakery for sure, but still an appealing feature that should make 100x zoomed-in shots look like something other than melted cheddar. Curiously, Google says that Pro Res Zoom won't work on humans, presumably to avoid the diffusion model inventing entirely new faces for distant, non-consenting subjects. On the software side, a new feature called Camera Coach uses Gemini to analyse your scene in real-time and offer suggestions on composition and framing to help you capture a better shot. And in a nod to the growing concerns around AI-generated imagery, the entire Pixel 10 series will be the first to implement C2PA content credentials directly within the native camera app. This embeds a secure, cryptographic signature into every photo's metadata, creating a verifiable record of when and how an image was captured or edited. Whether or not your nan continues to be convinced she's seen a puppy backflip over a fire engine on Facebook remains to be seen. Everything else Google announced Alongside the new Pixel 10 series, Google also showed off the next generation of its wider hardware ecosystem. The Pixel Watch 4 gets a design refresh with a new domed 'actua 360' display, a subtly curved screen that blends seamlessly into the domed glass case and reduces the size of the watch's bezel by 16 per cent. It's powered by a new 3nm processor for 25 per cent faster performance, 50 per cent less power draw and a 25 per cent boost to battery life, which now promises up to 40 hours on a single charge. If you thought the Pixel Watch 4 would get away without a bunch of AI features, you'd be mistaken. You'll be able to raise your wrist to start talking to Gemini immediately, which is probably one of the most futuristic applications of AI tech you'll find this year. Fitbit – now Google's official health app – gets an update too, working with the Pixel Watch 4 to deliver more accurate sleep tracking and AI-powered activity recognition. All Fitbit users will get access to an AI-powered personal health coach, which will provide personalised health information and answer your health-related questions, with responses 'backed by science'. Hard to believe it's only been a year since Google's search AI was telling people to eat rocks. Finally, the Pixel Buds 2a were introduced as the new budget-friendly option, offering active noise cancellation for an impressively low price point, while the flagship Pixel Buds Pro 2 will get a new 'moonstone' colourway and receive a software update adding adaptive audio that dials in the ANC depending on how noisy your surroundings are, as well as improved Gemini performance in loud environments. The early verdict: Pixel 10 There's no denying that the Pixel 10 is an iterative update for the series, with the most impressive new features being software-based rather than hardware. But don't overlook the addition of a telephoto lens to the standard Pixel 10 and the introduction of Pixel Snap magnetic charging across the range, two welcome hardware upgrades that make the unchanged price of the three phones all the more impressive. The real story this year is Google's relentless push into on-device AI, which now promises to start paying dividends when it comes to day-to-day utility. The new Tensor G5 chip and the proactive Magic Cue assistant promise to turn your phone into an intelligent, predictive companion. As ever, we'll have to wait and see just how magical these new AI features feel in the real world. All three phones are available to pre-order now and will be on shelves 28 August.

Google Gemini upgrades add more autonomous AI to phones and watches
Google's latest Gemini AI upgrades attempt to anticipate what useful information you made need from your life to address a potential issue, make you to better photographer or become your personalised health and sleep coach. Shipping on the just-announced Pixel 10 Android phones, the new Magic Cue feature enables the chatbot to comb through your digital life and pull up relevant information on your phone just when you need it. Placing a call to an airline will automatically display your booking information from Gmail in the phone app. Or when a friend texts about brunch on Sunday Gemini will suggest a suitable coffee shop and show your calendar in line with your messages. The feature is part of a series of artificial intelligence upgrades for the newly announced Pixel 10, 10 Pro and 10 Pro Fold phones. Each has the new Tensor G5 chip, which runs Magic Cue and other AI tools locally on a device. Leo Gebbie, a principal analyst at the research firm CCS Insight, said Google was 'arguably positioning on-device AI more effectively than any of its rivals' and that the Magic Cue feature was 'an early step towards the much-vaunted agentic AI experiences, which have been promised on smartphones for some time'. He added: 'Google can take advantage of the fact that most Android users will already have heavily populated apps such as Gmail, Calendar and Maps with their personal information, and it is now drawing this data together in a more helpful way than ever before.' The Pixel 10 has a 6.3in OLED screen and an upgraded imaging system that includes a 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto camera for the first time, taking the number of cameras on the back to three, compared with two on previous models. The Pixel 10 Pro comes in two sizes with a 6.3in or 6.8in screen and features three cameras on the back including a 48MP telephoto camera capable of 10x optical zoom. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold becomes one of the first folding phones to feature the full IP68 water and dust resistance common among standard slab phones, as Google attempts to allay durability concerns of the flexible screen. It features a similar camera system to the Pixel 10. The phones also support various AI photography features including the new Camera Coach that uses Google's AI servers to analyse the scene in front of the camera to suggest different framing, angles and lighting to take a better photo. The Pixel 10 starts at £799 (€899/$799/A$1,349) and the Pixel 10 Pro starts at £999 (€1,099/$999/A$1,699) and ships on 28 August. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold costs from £1,749 (€1,899/$1,799/A$2,699) and ships later on 9 October. Google also unveiled the Pixel Watch 4 smartwatch, which brings Gemini to the wrist and can act as personal AI heath coach. Part of the new Fitbit app, Gemini can create personalised fitness and sleep plans, measure the impact of training in real time and answer health and fitness questions chatbot-style. The Pixel Watch 4 is available in two sizes and has a domed screen that is 10% larger than its predecessors. It is the first smartwatch to offer SOS satellite-based emergency services when off the grid, starting with the US. The device is also the first Google smartwatch to be designed for serviceability including battery and screen repairs, finally catching up to Apple and Samsung. It costs from £349 (€499/$349/A$579). Meanwhile, the Pixel Buds 2a are a cheaper version of Google's compact Bluetooth earbuds and cost £129 (€149/$129/A$239). They have a same Tensor A1 chip as the company's top Buds Pro 2 earbuds, and have noise cancelling and integrated Gemini AI assistant. The Buds 2a charging case is also designed with a replaceable battery, although the earbuds themselves are not repairable.
