HONOR 9
£379.99, hihonor.com
Good timing: my contract’s up for renewal.
Feast your eyes pronto on this glass- and
metal-enrobed, Android 7.0 beauty with a
5.15-inch, Full HD multi-touch display. The Honor
9 is causing quite a stir thanks to the raft of tasty
tech features it’s flaunting in comparison to that
reasonably low price.
Well, the Honor 9 is powered by a Kirin 960
processor, with either 4GB or 6GB
of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage,
expandable up to 256GB (microSD). There’s a
3,200 mAh battery with SuperCharge tech for
fast-charging, and EMUI 5.1, which “intelligently”
redistributes the phone’s power and memory
management based on how
you use the device.
How about a dual-lens camera with 2x hybrid
zoom and a low-light function for capturing
high-res images day and night? There’s an 8MP
front-facing camera for selfies and video calls,
and Quik Video editing for creating ‘mini films’.
The Honor 9’s use of ultra-wide 3D soundfield
tech to create a surround-sound effect (when
listening on earphones) is also exciting.
Via a front-facing fingerprint sensor, enabling
quick and secure access. Huawei says its
fingerprint tech is continually learning, too,
aiming to further enhance security over time.
The Honor 9 is available to purchase in blue,
grey, black or gold from vmall.eu.
FROM DUSK TIL DAWN
The Honor 9’s Full HD
screen with 428ppi
delivers true-to-life
colour reproduction and
features sunlight, night
and eye comfort modes
to ensure the display
looks ace regardless
of the time of day or
whether you’re inside

Sony’s top-end wireless cans are the
most expensive on test, but they’re also
the smartest. They customise noise-
cancelling to suit your wearing habits,
while two Ambient Sound settings let in
voices or background noise. It all works
brilliantly. The synthetic leather styling is
dull but they’re super comfy and easy to
use thanks to the slick gesture control
pad. Sony’s high-res 40mm drivers
deliver wonderfully rich and refined
sound with no bright edges, picking out
rarely noticed nuances.

the inclusion of an aluminium touch-
sensitive control panel makes operation
easy on the go. The replaceable battery
offers a respectable 20 hours of playback

Audio-Technica aims to redefine wireless

of a DAC means there’s no 3.5mm jack;
instead you get a USB port for high-res

JUNE 2015 T3 6564 T3 JUNE 2015
Pure battery power, gadgets galore and funky styling – these
e-machines are the ultimate tools for the road
All the range
ust a couple of years ago, we
wouldn’t have blamed you for
turning your nose up at an electric
car. Range anxiety has plagued the
adoption of battery-powered automobiles, but
things have moved on since then, and you can
now travel far on a single charge.
Lithium-ion battery technology has,
unsurprisingly, got better since T3 compared
electric cars in mid-2015. Back then, a Renault
Zoe was capable of a maximum of 149 miles,
but just how much have things improved? The
three EV models we’re putting to test in this
issue, almost two years later, represent a broad
spectrum of what’s available in 2017. First up is
the Kia Soul EV. Launched in 2015, the Korean
manufacturer’s take on the electric car theme
is the only one here that’s based on an existing
model in its lineup. With up to 132 miles of
range, it’s the lowest here by some way, but it’s
packed with gadgets, and those love-it-or-
hate-it looks might be enough to swing you.
Then there’s Hyundai’s Ioniq. Released at the
tail end of 2016, it’s the newest and most
hi-tech car here, and its three-in-one car
personality enables you to choose your
preferred method of fueling, whether it’s
hybrid, hybrid plug-in, or pure electric.
Naturally, we’ve gone for the electric version,
which promises 174 miles of range, coupe-style
looks and a wealth of safety features.
Finally, the Renault Zoe - Europe’s best-
selling EV in 2016 – blows the old model, and
indeed, the competition, out of the water, with
an astonishing 250-mile range thanks to an
upgraded battery. But there’s more to an EV
than just range - let’s look at all aspects of these
models and find out which one you’ll want to
hook up to your mains power.

Hyundai Ioniq
Hyundai’s new-on-the-e-
scene Ioniq looks brilliant on
paper, with a luxurious cabin,
great battery range and lots
of gadgets.
PRICE: From £24,995
1 Kia Soul EV
Kia’s e-machine still packs a
punch, with an impressive spec,
but it’s not brand-new and will
its lower battery range hold it
back?
PRICE: £25,495
3Renault Zoe
The Zoe is an ideal city car but
this 2017 model gets a battery
upgrade, giving it a motorway-
bothering 250 miles of range.

Feast your eyes pronto on this glass- and metal-enrobed, Android 7.0 beauty with a 5.15-inch, Full HD multi-touch display. The Honor 9 is causing quite a stir thanks to the raft of tasty tech features it’s flaunting in comparison to that reasonably low price. Well, the Honor 9 is powered by a Kirin 960 processor, with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, expandable up to 256GB (microSD). There’s a 3,200 mAh battery with SuperCharge tech for fast-charging, and EMUI 5.1, which “intelligently” redistributes the phone’s power and memory management based on how you use the device. How about a dual-lens camera with 2x hybrid zoom and a low-light function for capturing high-res images day and night? There’s an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls, and Quik Video editing for creating ‘mini films’. The Honor 9’s use of ultra-wide 3D soundfield tech to create a surround-sound effect (when listening on earphones) is also exciting. Via a front-facing fingerprint sensor, enabling quick and secure access. Huawei says its fingerprint tech is continually learning, too, aiming to further enhance security over time. The Honor 9 is available to purchase in blue, grey, black or gold from vmall.eu. FROM DUSK TIL DAWN The Honor 9’s Full HD screen with 428ppi delivers true-to-life colour reproduction and features sunlight, night and eye comfort modes to ensure the display looks ace regardless of the time of day or whether you’re inside or outdoors PIN-UP CURVES Enjoy wrapping your fingers around the Honor 9’s glossy body, supported by a 3D curved glass back, or nano textures that have been carved into the glass via photo- etching tech THE GREAT EQUALIZER Earphone brand Monster had a hand in the Honor 9’s sound quality via the Honor Purity equalizer, which enables the phone to accurately reproduce high-def audio.

Nick Odantzis, Deputy Editor COOLNESS INNOVATION FEATURES TECH’S AXIS Edited by Claire Davies The greatest new tech arriving this month top 10Horizon 1 Says… More great content at the all-new www.t3.comMore great content at the all-new www.t3.com JUNE 2015 T3 9796 T3 JUNE 2015 Select Bluetoothheadphones Select Supersix ur good mate Pinocchio didn’t like being tethered by wires and neither do we, particularly when listening to music while out and about. Thankfully there’s a wide range of wireless headphones SONY MDR-1000X £360, sony.co.uk Sony’s top-end wireless cans are the most expensive on test, but they’re also the smartest. They customise noise- cancelling to suit your wearing habits, while two Ambient Sound settings let in voices or background noise. It all works brilliantly. The synthetic leather styling is dull but they’re super comfy and easy to use thanks to the slick gesture control pad. Sony’s high-res 40mm drivers deliver wonderfully rich and refined sound with no bright edges, picking out rarely noticed nuances. ONE FOR FEATURE FIENDS Don’t let cables come between you and your favourite music. Liberate yourself with these Bluetooth wireless headphones and their sound-boosting aptX tech No strings attached MARSHALL MONITOR BLUETOOTH £219, marshallheadphones.com These Bluetooth aptX headphones stylishly mimic the look of Marshall’s iconic guitar amps with a faux-leather finish, brass accents and curly wires. Build quality is excellent, and the compact over-ear pads offer decent isolation, but they squeeze the head too tightly for long-term comfort. The 30-hour playback time beats pricier rivals, although there’s no power- draining noise cancellation. In action, the with incnic elements. ONE FOR ROCK GODS B&O PLAY H7 £329, beoplay.com Chic and beautifully built, the H7s are a classic product from B&O. The soft lambskin over-ear cushions are secure yet easy to wear for long periods, while the inclusion of an aluminium touch- sensitive control panel makes operation easy on the go. The replaceable battery offers a respectable 20 hours of playback (you even get a spare) but the lack of noise-cancelling is a pity at this price. Without it, the H7s muster a clear, detailed sound with sparkling treble and solid bass, but you play sing. ONE FOR FASHION GURUS BOWERS & WILKINS P7 WIRELESS £319, bowers-wilkins.co.uk Unearth the P7s from the box and it’s love at first sight thanks to their gorgeous design and premium construction. The stitched leather headband and durable metal hinges exude quality, while silky-soft memory foam earpads facilitate hours of comfortable listening. Good job too, as you’ll get a decent 17 hours of Bluetooth aptX playback. Play some tunes and the performance is easily the best in test. for songs you’ve heard a thousand times. ONE FOR AUDIOPHILES BEST FOR DESIGN to choose from, which use Bluetooth technology to receive music from your mobile device. With new smartphones like the iPhone 7 dropping physical headphone outputs altogether, wireless cans like these are becoming more important than. And if you’re worried about sacrificing sound quality for the convenience of Bluetooth, don’t be – all of the headphones on test support aptX, the audio codec that allows CD quality sound to be transmitted via Bluetooth. Without further ado, let the AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-DSR7BT £299, eu.audio-technica.com Audio-Technica aims to redefine wireless headphones with Pure Digital Drive, which keeps the signal in the digital domain from source to driver. The lack of a DAC means there’s no 3.5mm jack; instead you get a USB port for high-res playback from a laptop, alongside Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD and 15 hours of playback. Build quality lives up to the price tag, with robust construction and head-caressing memory foam earpads. ONE FOR AUDIO INNOVATORS AKG N60NC WIRELESS £250, uk.akg.com Lighter and more compact than most noise-cancelling rivals, the N60s are perfect for travelling. They fold flat into a pocket-friendly size and offer 15 hours of Bluetooth aptX playback, or 30 hours with Active Noise Cancelling only. The metal housings and matt black finish are stylish and luxurious, topped off by comfortable memory foam ear pads and intuitive controls. Superb noise- cancelling paves the way for some fabulous sound quality, which is with detail. Full-bodied midrange ONE FOR TRAVELLERS Words: Danny Phillips O JUNE 2015 T3 6564 T3 JUNE 2015 Pure battery power, gadgets galore and funky styling – these e-machines are the ultimate tools for the road All the range ust a couple of years ago, we wouldn’t have blamed you for turning your nose up at an electric car. Range anxiety has plagued the adoption of battery-powered automobiles, but things have moved on since then, and you can now travel far on a single charge. Lithium-ion battery technology has, unsurprisingly, got better since T3 compared electric cars in mid-2015. Back then, a Renault Zoe was capable of a maximum of 149 miles, but just how much have things improved? The three EV models we’re putting to test in this issue, almost two years later, represent a broad spectrum of what’s available in 2017. First up is the Kia Soul EV. Launched in 2015, the Korean manufacturer’s take on the electric car theme is the only one here that’s based on an existing model in its lineup. With up to 132 miles of range, it’s the lowest here by some way, but it’s packed with gadgets, and those love-it-or- hate-it looks might be enough to swing you. Then there’s Hyundai’s Ioniq. Released at the tail end of 2016, it’s the newest and most hi-tech car here, and its three-in-one car personality enables you to choose your preferred method of fueling, whether it’s hybrid, hybrid plug-in, or pure electric. Naturally, we’ve gone for the electric version, which promises 174 miles of range, coupe-style looks and a wealth of safety features. Finally, the Renault Zoe - Europe’s best- selling EV in 2016 – blows the old model, and indeed, the competition, out of the water, with an astonishing 250-mile range thanks to an upgraded battery. But there’s more to an EV than just range - let’s look at all aspects of these models and find out which one you’ll want to hook up to your mains power. J Hyundai Ioniq Hyundai’s new-on-the-e- scene Ioniq looks brilliant on paper, with a luxurious cabin, great battery range and lots of gadgets. PRICE: From £24,995 1 Kia Soul EV Kia’s e-machine still packs a punch, with an impressive spec, but it’s not brand-new and will its lower battery range hold it back? PRICE: £25,495 3Renault Zoe The Zoe is an ideal city car but this 2017 model gets a battery upgrade, giving it a motorway- bothering 250 miles of range. PRICE: From £19,845 URL: renault.co.uk 2 Words: Nick Odantzis Photography: Neil Godwin WHAT’S ON TEST… StateoftheArt Electriccars StateoftheArt Electriccars 9

Thankfully there’s a wide range of wireless headphones SONY MDR-1000X £360, sony.co.uk Sony’s top-end wireless cans are the most expensive on test, but they’re also the smartest. They customise noise- cancelling to suit your wearing habits, while two Ambient Sound settings let in voices or background noise. It all works brilliantly. The synthetic leather styling is dull but they’re super comfy and easy to use thanks to the slick gesture control pad. Sony’s high-res 40mm drivers deliver wonderfully rich and refined sound with no bright edges, picking out rarely noticed nuances. ONE FOR FEATURE FIENDS Don’t let cables come between you and your favourite music. Liberate yourself with these Bluetooth wireless headphones and their sound-boosting aptX tech No strings attached MARSHALL MONITOR BLUETOOTH £219, marshallheadphones.com These Bluetooth aptX headphones stylishly mimic the look of Marshall’s iconic guitar amps with a faux-leather finish, brass accents and curly wires. Build quality is excellent, and the compact over-ear pads offer decent isolation, but they squeeze the head too tightly for long-term comfort. The 30-hour playback time beats pricier rivals, although there’s no power- draining noise cancellation. In action, the with incnic elements. ONE FOR ROCK GODS B&O PLAY H7 £329, beoplay.com Chic and beautifully built, the H7s are a classic product from B&O. The soft lambskin over-ear cushions are secure yet easy to wear for long periods, while the inclusion of an aluminium touch- sensitive control panel makes operation easy on the go. The replaceable battery offers a respectable 20 hours of playback (you even get a spare) but the lack of noise-cancelling is a pity at this price. Without it, the H7s muster a clear, detailed sound with sparkling treble and solid bass, but you play sing. ONE FOR FASHION GURUS BOWERS & WILKINS P7 WIRELESS £319, bowers-wilkins.co.uk Unearth the P7s from the box and it’s love at first sight thanks to their gorgeous design and premium construction. The stitched leather headband and durable metal hinges exude quality, while silky-soft memory foam earpads facilitate hours of comfortable listening. Good job too, as you’ll get a decent 17 hours of Bluetooth aptX playback. Play some tunes and the performance is easily the best in test. for songs you’ve heard a thousand times. ONE FOR AUDIOPHILES BEST FOR DESIGN to choose from, which use Bluetooth technology to receive music from your mobile device. With new smartphones like the iPhone 7 dropping physical headphone outputs altogether, wireless cans like these are becoming more important than. And if you’re worried about sacrificing sound quality for the convenience of Bluetooth, don’t be – all of the headphones on test support aptX, the audio codec that allows CD quality sound to be transmitted via Bluetooth. Without further ado, let the AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-DSR7BT £299, eu.audio-technica.com Audio-Technica aims to redefine wireless headphones with Pure Digital Drive, which keeps the signal in the digital domain from source to driver. The lack of a DAC means there’s no 3.5mm jack; instead you get a USB port for high-res playback from a laptop, alongside Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD and 15 hours of playback. Build quality lives up to the price tag, with robust construction and head-caressing memory foam earpads. ONE FOR AUDIO INNOVATORS AKG N60NC WIRELESS £250, uk.akg.com Lighter and more compact than most noise-cancelling rivals, the N60s are perfect for travelling. They fold flat into a pocket-friendly size and offer 15 hours of Bluetooth aptX playback, or 30 hours with Active Noise Cancelling only. The metal housings and matt black finish are stylish and luxurious, topped off by comfortable memory foam ear pads and intuitive controls. Superb noise- cancelling paves the way for some fabulous sound quality, which is with detail. Full-bodied midrange ONE FOR TRAVELLERS Words: Danny Phillips O 26
