Through excellent, surprisingly true-to-life post-processing, I find I prefer the look of the Pixel 9 Pro’s shots over even those taken with Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro, which had been my previous favorite camera array....

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction is the latest Ubisoft title to bear the name of the late novelist.

Think Volvo and what do you think? Our bet is that in among a top three list of words you’d have ‘safety’, ‘Sweden’ and… ‘estate car’. Indeed, Volvo’s history is littered with estate models (and safe ones at that). Its first arrived in the UK as long ago as 1953, and since then one-third of all Volvo cars sold have been estates.
