Masters live stream: how to watch 2019's final holes and from anywhere right now

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 11:00 AM PDT

Can you remember a Masters Tournament as exciting as this in recent memory? Any one of a number of golfers can still win the Green Jacket in 2019 - and they include legend Tiger Woods. Prepare for fireworks (and possibly lightning) as you can get a Masters live stream for FREE from absolutely anywhere you are in the world with this guide.

All the US Masters talk is about Tiger of course. Rolling back the years and looking like a genuine threat to grab his 15th major - his first for over 10 years. It's 22 years since his first win at Augusta National and the raucous crowd will be urging every single shot to "get in the hole" today.

But don't forget that he wasn't leading the 83rd Masters Tournament going into the final round. That honour went to 2018 Open winner Francesco Molinari, who held a two shot advantage. And what of Tony Finau and Webb Simpson. Both Americans shot 64s yesterday and will be looking to make a push for the title today. And last year's stand-out player Brooks Koepka is in the mix, too. Anyone could win the coveted Green Jacket today!

Our quick and easy guide will tell you how to watch the fourth and final round - a 2019 Masters live stream online from anywhere in the world. It's extremely easy to do, even if you are away from your home country when it's on and want to tune in to your preferred coverage. It's even FREE in some countries and available to watch without commercials.

How to get a Masters live stream from outside your country

Try to live stream Masters golf away from your home country and you'll quickly find that your domestic coverage is geo-blocked. It's frustrating, but not unavoidable - with a Virtual Private Network, you don't have to miss out as the action really hots up.

How to live stream Masters golf for FREE

Your initial go-to option for streaming this year's Masters in the US is an absolute gimme. Simply head to Masters.com, hit the 'Watch' tab and away you go. As well as having all the live action from all four days of play - with a spotlight on featured holes and groups - it also includes footage from the practise range and as many highlights and interviews as you can handle.

You'll find that the Masters.com live stream is geo-blocked if you try and access it from outside the country. That's where using a VPN (as explained above) comes in handy, so you can watch it as if you were back in the US.

If it's all the bells and whistles of broadcast-quality coverage you need and you're in the US, the alternative is to watch the coverage on ESPN, CBS or a host of cord-cutting options. More on which below.

UK and Australian audiences may not have access to that Masters.com stream, but at least you too have some free-to-air coverage to enjoy. The concluding two rounds are on the UK's BBC - which also means no pesky ad breaks - while in Australia the Nine Network has it all live and for free.

How to watch a Masters live stream in the US

ESPN and CBS have the share of the spoils in the US, with the former taking the first two rounds (and par three contest) and CBS with rounds three and four.

Note that you will need a US IP address in order to access the above stations or otherwise you won't be able to access the content from abroad - if you want to do so, you'll have to follow our VPN guidelines above and log in with a VPN, choosing a US server location.

They aren't you're only option though, with all of the top US-based TV streaming services all providing an alternative. Each one offers a free trial to get you started and has masses of other content and channels for you to enjoy if you subscribe:

  • Hulu with Live TV $40 per month - Hulu with Live TV includes CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN.
  • PlayStation Vue From $45 per month and the ideal choice for PS4 owners thanks to its access to the likes of ESPN, NBC, Fox, Disney and other essential networks. Crank up the price and you can add the likes of Showtime and HBO, too.
  • DirecTV Now $50 per month - DirecTV Now includes CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN and for $5 extra you can add the NFL Network.
  • FuboTV $35 for the first month - FuboTV gives you the first month at a discounted rate but after that the price increases to $45 a month. The service includes CBS, Fox, NBC and the NFL Network but does not come with ESPN.
  • YouTubeTV $40 per month - YouTubeTV gives you access to CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN.

How to watch the 2019 US Masters: live stream for free and WITHOUT COMMERCIALS in the UK

For Saturday and Sunday at the Masters, BBC Two is showing the last two rounds with completely commercial-free coverage. It has managed to sort out its scheduling last minute and get started as the leaders do at 1.55pm.

It's not exclusive to the Beeb though and you may well prefer the big-budget broadcasting that Sky Sports Golf supplies. Or, if you don't want to bother yourself with a Sky Sports subscription, there is another way. Now TV may well be a decent fit for you. It costs £8.99 for a day's worth of access. And pretty much every streaming device you can think of has a Now app.

Out of the UK this weekend? Then follow our instructions above to get a VPN and tune into your preferred coverage as if you were back in Blighty. Once you're set up, we'd recommend heading over to stream it on TVPlayer.com, which has all the Freeview channels (including BBC Two) in one place and a robust, legal stream to watch on.

How watch the 2019 US Masters in Australia for FREE!

Great news, Australia. 2019's first major golf tournament is playing on free-to-air television with the Nine Network's Gem channel showing the action. Particularly exciting with two Aussies in the last two pairs - they get going at around 4.30am Sunday morning AEST.

Your other option is to sign up for the fast-emerging Kayo Sports streaming service, which features no lock-in contracts and gives you access to over 50 other sports including the F1, NRL, FA Cup football, NBA playoffs...the list goes on! Not only that, but Kayo is boasting three bonus cameras for every round of the golf, providing more ways to watch - so well worth checking out if you're a golf obsessive that wants the best possible Masters live stream coverage.

Kayo Sports Basic Package costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously. Alternatively, the service also offers a Kayo Sports Premium Package, which provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month.

And don't forget that if you're out of Australia this weekend and are still desperate to tune in to one of the above methods of watching the golf, you'll need a VPN to magically transfer your IP address back to a server in Australia.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – release date, trailers and news

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 10:49 AM PDT

Hold on to your lightsabers: there's a new Star Wars game in development, and it's called Jedi: Fallen Order.

The reveal came in a surprisingly low-key fashion during EA's conference at E3 2018, during an off-the-cuff interview with Vince Zambella, co-founder of Respawn Entertainment (of Titanfall fame).

And we've now been treated to a teaser trailer, which you can see below. This isn't actual gameplay, but it gives you a flavor of the story. Players take on the role of Jedi-in-hiding Cal Kestis, EA and Respawn Entertainment revealed at the Star Wars Celebration event in Chicago.

While fans of the galactic franchise have seen official tie-ins in the form of Star Wars Battlefront I and II, the new entry takes on a different tack, focusing on a single-player experience more in line with 2008's The Force Unleashed – and we have all the concrete news and wild speculation you could want below.

Cut to the chase

  • What is it? A new single-player Star Wars game from the creators of Titanfall
  • What can I play it on? It's all but certain we'll see it on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
  • When can I play it? Autumn/Fall 2019

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order release date

EA has confirmed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will release in Fall 2019 (so between mid September and December), just in time for Christmas. 

Star Wars Battlefront I and II were both released on November 17, in 2015 and 2017 respectively, so it's likely Fallen Order will fall on the same date (or in November anyway). Given the two-year windows between each game, though, this may mean a third Battlefront game is a long way off.

We now have our first proper look at Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, courtesy of the 2019 Star Wars Celebration convention in April.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order trailers

At the time of writing, we have a teaser trailer, which we've posted above. It doesn't show any actual gameplay, but it fills in the story, and it's better than nothing. Keep checking the official Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order webpage from EA for more.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order news and rumors

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order reveal will be livestreamed
We already know that on April 13 we got our first proper look at Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as part of the annual Star Wars Celebration event in Chicago.

But luckily for fans that couldn't make the trek to the event, EA livestreamed it.

Check out EA's announcement tweet below:

The galaxy-wide premiere will see the head of Respawn Entertainment, Vince Zampella, and game director, Stig Asmussen, revealing the much-anticipated details of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - with the event's description promising "a few surprises in store".

The event will be livestreamed on April 13 at 1:30pm CDT (6:30pm GMT, 11:30am PDT, 2:30pm EDT, 5:30 am AEDT on April 14). 

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order toys
Disney has announced that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order merchandise will become available in October 2019 suggesting, not only that the game will release around that time, but that the company expects it to be a title (or series) with a long life-span within Star Wars fandom.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order release window
"In addition to Apex Legends, another team at Respawn is set to deliver Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order this fall," EA CEO Andrew Wilson revealed during a quarterly earnings call (via Seeking Alpha). "This game's development is led by the former director of the God of War series, with a team of veterans from some of the industry's biggest action-adventure games. 

Development is well underway
"It’s very far along in development, and having spent time with it recently myself, it plays spectacularly well," EA CEO Andrew Wilson revealed during a quarterly earnings call (via Seeking Alpha). "This game truly captures the fantasy of becoming a Jedi, and we will have a lot more to share soon."

We will start seeing more soon
"You'll start to see in the next few months glimpses of the Star Wars game and I think you'll be blown away by what you see," said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen during a quarterly earnings call (via Seeking Alpha). "We've played 20 plus minutes of it last week and it is exceptional in terms of its like level of polish depth and what living inside of the Star Wars world is a Jedi and I think people will be blown away by."

A Padawan called Cal?
According to rumored information from a Star Wars marketing day (which obviously made its way to Reddit) the story will take place roughly five years after Revenge of the Sith and will follow surviving Padawan Cal (via GamesRadar). This rumor also states that one of the game's main plot points will revolve around Cal's mentor figure - a woman named Ceres. Both these names are now confirmed.

It's set after Revenge of the Sith
We don't know the specific time in which the game is set, but we've heard that it will take place at some point between Episodes 3 and 4, after the end of Revenge of the Sith but before Luke Skywalker's appearance in A New Hope.

This places it after the Galactic Empire hunted the 10,000-strong Jedi Order practically to extinction, leaving only a small fraction of Jedi alive (aka Order 66). With the promise that the game will be set 'in the dark times', it sounds like our Jedi protagonist may be more the hunted than the hunter.

You'll play as a young padawan
EA's official webpage for Fallen Order specifies you'll play "a surviving Padawan", technically meaning a Jedi apprentice rather than a fully-fledged master of the Force. Given the dearth of living mentors left to train you, it's possible Obi-Wan Kenobi or Yoda – or some less high-profile Jedi, like Quinlan Vos – will appear in a supporting role. 

The single-player mode comes first
Respawn co-founder Vince Zambella tweeted about the upcoming game, describing it as an 'SP' (single-player) story. It looks like a multiplayer component won't be available at all in the game.

I find your lack of faith disturbing
It's been a bit of a fallow year for Star Wars, with Star Wars: A Solo Story struggling in cinemas and the negative player response to EA Dice's Star Wars: Battlefront 2 – largely in reaction to its prevalent use of microtransactions – still in recent memory.

Jedi: Fallen Order has been handed to a different studio, albeit one that's still a subsidiary of EA. But Respawn has garnered a lot of respect as the studio behind Titanfall and Titanfall 2, two critically acclaimed sci-fi action games that pit players against each other in giant mechanized suits, and which both came with strong single-player and multiplayer offerings. 

So, while we haven't heard much about Fallen Order so far, it looks like the game is in safe hands.

Here's the first official trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 10:30 AM PDT

It's been quite a weekend for Star Wars trailers – perhaps something to do with the Star Wars Celebration event that's just been held in Chicago. Our latest 'first look' comes for the long-awaited Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game.

Although the trailer doesn't feature any actual gameplay, it does flesh out the story a little: a single-player, third-person perspective story, free from microtransactions and with no multiplayer component.

We now know the main character is called Cal, as previously rumored – Cal Kestis. He's a Padawan in hiding, with a strict creed: don't reach within, don't stand out, accept the past, trust no one, and trust only in the Force.

If these two-and-a-half minutes are anything to go by, consider us interested in what EA and Respawn Entertainment have been putting together.

The trailer shows us Cal Kestis trying to keep his head down and stay out of trouble – something he's obviously not going to manage through the course of the game.

Cal is a new character for the Star Wars universe, and the action opens on a new planet – Bracca. Other planets will be explored during the course of the game, as Cal flees from an elite group of Inquisitors working for the Empire.

Combat will be based around lightsaber melees, Respawn has revealed, and our hero Cal will be accompanied by a friend called Cere and a droid called BD-1.

The game is set after the events of Revenge of the Sith – a dangerous time for the Jedi – and with a release date scheduled for sometime in the fall of this year, you can expect to hear lots more about it in the coming months.

Black Shark’s taking a surprising approach to cloud gaming

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 09:00 AM PDT

The Black Shark 2 launched in the UK on April 9. It boasts a powerful 8GB RAM, a cutting-edge chipset and huge battery potential (it’s designed specially to be a great gaming phone), but 2019 seems a turbulent time to launch a handset for this market, given that cloud gaming is around the corner.

When you use cloud gaming to play a mobile game, all the computing and processing is done by the cloud, and all your phone needs is a fast internet connection. This effectively makes powerful internals, like the Black Shark 2’s, redundant. With the recent release of 5G networks around the world, a quick internet connection is becoming more and more accessible, so cloud gaming can only get bigger.

To understand how Black Shark would survive this dramatic change, we spoke to VP of Black Shark Global, David Li, at the Black Shark 2 launch – but his answer wasn’t what we expected.

Clouds on the horizon

The natural answer to ‘how do you keep a gaming phone competitive against cloud gaming’ would be to focus on features that cloud gaming can’t touch. Great-looking displays, comfortable-to-grip designs and booming audio are features that could make a device great to play on.

But according to Li, Black Shark doesn’t plan to try to compete with cloud gaming – it’s going to embrace it.

Li told us one of the most important features of future Black Shark phones is improved network connection, so that you can connect to data and Wi-Fi, and download games or play online at the quickest speeds possible.

We saw a demonstration of the Black Shark 2’s X+2 Antenna array, which has antennas in six locations about the device so that you’ll have a quick connection wherever your hands are on the phone. It's possible that future Black Shark phones could have even more.

When we asked about other ways Black Shark would stay ahead of the curve, Li told us that touchscreen latency was also an important feature, so that the phone was as responsive as possible for gaming. According to the company's tests, the Black Shark 2 is roughly 25% more responsive than the Samsung Galaxy S10, and by keeping latency competitive, future Black Shark devices could still be better for gameplay. 

Looking into the future

We also asked Li about Black Shark’s plans in the future, and how different trends could bring new hardware changes.

He explained that Black Shark was indeed looking into 5G, and that we can expect a Black Shark 5G before the inevitable Black Shark 3 – and since there was only a six month gap between the Black Shark 2 release and the original Black Shark, that means we could see the 5G gaming phone before the end of the year.

Li wasn’t as optimistic on foldables. He told us the tech wasn’t mature enough yet, so Black Shark will only look into it if it provides a better gaming experience for users.

We also briefly spoke to him about the future of mobile gaming itself. Demos we saw of the Black Shark 2 focused on PUBG Mobile, which runs on basically any device with a screen, and Li admitted that most high-end mobile games so far are ports of popular PC or console games, like PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, and XCOM: Enemy Within. However, that might change.

As well as looking at the present of mobile gaming, Black Shark is apparently working with big developers like Tencent (of PUBG fame) to make sure its mobiles will be great at playing their future releases too, so soon your handset could play high-end games that are unavailable on other platforms.

Amazon tipped to launch a free, ad-supported music service to take on Spotify

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 06:30 AM PDT

The music streaming wars aren't offer yet, with Amazon reportedly in talks with the big labels about offering an free, ad-supported service to take on Spotify – and it might be launching as early as next week.

That's according to sources speaking to Billboard. Apparently the new service will offer a limited selection of songs but wouldn't cost users anything – a bit like the free tier that Spotify offers.

The new service sounds a lot like Amazon Prime Music, the music selection you get as part of a Prime subscription – only in this case you'd have to listen to ads instead of signing up for Amazon Prime.

Amazon Prime Music offers access to around 2 million tracks, and there's also an Amazon Music Unlimited service, a more direct Spotify competitor – it has tens of millions of songs in its catalog and costs an additional monthly fee.

Is there an Echo in here?

It's easy to see where the new service would slot in – on Amazon Echo devices. Right out of the box users would be able to start playing music without making any payments or signing up for another service.

You've currently got a whole host of ways to play music through an Echo, including connecting a phone via Bluetooth or adding Apple Music or Spotify through the Alexa app on your phone.

This new service, if it actually appears, would in theory be more convenient than those options – at least for the casual music listener who only wants to hear a couple of the latest hits every now and again.

If Billboard is right and the service does launch next week, Spotify will no longer be the only music streaming service offering a free, ad-supported tier.

Samsung Galaxy A80 vs Galaxy S10: What’s the difference between Samsung’s newer flagships?

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 04:00 AM PDT

Samsung has launched a collection of Galaxy A phones, and the leader of the pack is the Samsung Galaxy A80, which boasts a novel rotating camera, as well as a large uninterrupted display.

But it hasn’t been very long since Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy S10, one of the most impressive smartphones we’ve ever seen, and like the Galaxy A80 it’s packed with cutting-edge features.

So which Samsung device is the most novel in terms of new features, and what’s the difference between the company’s 2019 handsets?

Design and display

At 6.7 inches the Samsung Galaxy A80’s screen is significantly bigger than the Galaxy S10’s 6.1-inch display, and that extra size is increased by the lack of a front-facing camera in the A80 to take up space, whereas the S10 has a ‘punch-hole’ cut out of it for this snapper in the top right corner. 

Both phones use Samsung’s Super AMOLED screen tech, for unrivaled color accuracy and high levels of maximum brightness. They also both have a fingerprint scanner built into the screen.


Despite the larger screen size the Samsung Galaxy S10 has a better screen resolution, at 1440 x 3040 instead of the Galaxy A80’s 1080 x 2400, so as you can imagine the Galaxy S10 has a much higher pixel per inch count.

The larger screen size is reflected in a bigger design in the Galaxy A80 as, at 165.2 x 76.5 x 9.3mm, it’s a fair size bigger and thicker than the Galaxy S10 at 149.9 x 70.4 x 7.8mm. You can feel this difference when you hold them in your hand, as the A80 feels a lot more like a ‘plus-sized’ phone.

Both have a rather similar ‘premium’ feel however, with Corning Gorilla Glass fronts and backs and metal bands in between. The S10’s screen is curved around the edges though, while the A80’s is flat, which may give it an edge in terms of ‘premium’ feels. They also both have USB-C connections, but the Galaxy S10 has a headphone jack which the A80 doesn’t, so if you’re attached to the 3.5mm port the S10 may be a better choice.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy A80’s camera is probably the most novel feature on the device – the phone has a triple-lens camera on the back that can pop up and rotate when you want to take a selfie, which should let it take selfies of unprecedented quality as well as performing well for other types of photos.

We couldn’t get enough of turning the camera to portrait mode and seeing the little back panel pop up – whether these moving parts will survive wear and tear is something we’ll need to find out though.

The three cameras consist of a 48MP main, 8MP ultra-wide and 3D depth-sensing snapper, and in our brief hands-on with the phone we found it great for autofocus as well as background blurring, but we’ll need to spend more time with the handset to see how good it truly is.

The Samsung Galaxy S10’s camera is a little more traditional in that it has a distinct front and back camera array. On the front there’s a 10MP snapper, which performs well enough but is not quite as good as the front camera on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, which has a bonus 8MP assistant.

On the rear of the Galaxy S10 there’s a 12MP regular, 12MP telephoto and 16MP ultra-wide lens, which take pictures with great detail and are particularly competent at picking up punchy colors. In particular, the telephoto lens, which you won’t find in the Galaxy A80, was good at sensing depth and taking pictures at a distance.

Battery life

While the Samsung Galaxy S10 comes with a 3,400mAh battery, you’re going to get a 3,700mAh power pack in the Galaxy A80, but both should easily last you a day.

Although the Galaxy A80 has a bigger battery you’re actually going to have an easier time charging the Galaxy S10 up, as the S10 supports wireless charging (and reverse wireless charging, so you can use the S10 to charge other devices) whereas the A80 only supports fast charging.

Features and specs

From the design and battery life, it may seem that the Samsung Galaxy A80 is the better phone, but you’re actually going to get better internals from the Galaxy S10. While the A80 has the Snapdragon 730 chipset, which is an admirable mid-range processor, the S10 boasts either a Snapdragon 855 or any Exynos 9820 (depending on where you are in the world), both of which are as cutting-edge as you can get in a chipset right now.

Both phones have 8GB of RAM, upwards of 128GB of storage, and both run Android 9, the latest Android operating system, so you’re going to find them rather similar to use, and both use the Samsung One UI which has a relatively clean aesthetic.

Unless you’re pushing the phone to its limit, like playing a high-end game or using an intensive app, you’re not likely to notice a huge difference between the phones, but if you do need every drop of performance power you can get then the Galaxy S10 is the better handset.

Takeaway

Image credit: TechRadar

It’s hard to compare the two phones, not least because we don’t know the price of the Samsung Galaxy A80 yet so don’t know if it’s worth the price you’ll pay for it.

The Galaxy A80 is a bigger device – between its larger body, screen and battery size, it's no doubt a chunky monkey, but the Galaxy S10 has better specs and arguably a more diverse camera loadout too.

We’ll know for sure how the two phones compare when they come out, but for now it seems the Samsung Galaxy A80 is the big and bulky, but slow, counterpart to the small and swift Samsung Galaxy S10.

The best business projectors in the UAE for 2019

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 03:46 AM PDT

If you're regularly making presentations in your line of work, then making sure you buy the best business projector that suits your needs will be essential.

Getting the right business projector can help transform your presentations and meetings, making them more engaging, interactive and professional.

In our list of the best business projectors of 2019, we've selected a large range of projectors, from compact devices that are easy to pack away and take with you on the road, to full-featured business projectors that feature a range of connectivity options and boast stunning image quality.

As well as listing the best business projectors, we also have our very own price comparison tool that will help you find the best prices as well.

Buying a projector for work means you're looking for different features than if you were buying a projector for entertainment purposes, so super-high resolutions and millions of inputs aren't going to be high on your 'must have' list. 

Unfortunately, plenty of offices often cheap out in when buying business projectors, or not doing their research, and investing in headaches for years to come. So now is a good excuse as any to review our favorite options for your office's projector unit.

The Epson EB-1795F is a great business projector that’s ultra-portable with great image quality. It offers a variety of different connectivity options to avoid fumbling for cables, and with a bit of prep in an office, almost any device can connect to it within seconds of it being turned on. 

The Gesture mode is a thoughtful idea, but doesn’t quite play out as effectively in real life. Aside from this, the EB-1795F is a reliable business projector that can easily travel wherever you go, and is up and ready to use in mere minutes.

If your meetings are never in the same location often, you're going to want a no-nonsense projector that's easy to carry. For that, we can recommend the Epson EB-S04. Weighing in at 2g pounds, and measuring 297‎ x 234 x 77mm, it also comes with a carry case included, which makes this a great business projector for people often out on the road. It supports connecting via USB, WiFi, VGA, HDMI, or the mobile MHL. Not only is it easy to move around with, it's extremely easy to use, so much so that booting and choosing your input source only took a mere 34 seconds in our testing. This is all with an intensely strong lamp, which maxes out at 3000 lumens.

It is ideal for those who need a simple, portable projector for anything except for streaming video, as we experienced quality issues there, with output being either grainy or stuttering. So it's not the best projector for watching films on, but as a business projector, it's excellent.

ViewSonic Pro8600

If you're looking to present in a bright room, or shopping with no worry about price, ViewSonic's Pro8600, weighing 8.5 pounds and measuring 13.1" x 10.4" x 4.3" (W x D x H), and Pro8520HD, also 8.5 pounds and a very similar 13.1" x 10.4" x 4.8" (W x D x H) are especially relevant. The Pro8600 retails for about $1700 (around £1125, AU$2068) online, and the Pro8520HD can be found online at a bump up to around $1799 (around £1190, AU$2188).

Both machines run very loud and very bright, thanks to the Pro8600's 6000 lumen and the Pro8520HD's 5000 lumen capable lamps. So if you're looking to make presentations to people who drift off when the lights go out, make sure you consider these options. Neither are great with USB, but if you're looking to present video, both have HDMI slots - the Pro8520HD actually offers two, if that's something you would need.

Both projectors render HD color video beautifully, although Pro8520HD arguably over-saturates the colors. While the video on the Pro8520HD is of great quality, you're going to need to have any audio pretty loud, thanks to a whirring fan that hovered around 79 decibels in our testing. While the Pro8600 suffers the same noise pollution - its fan reaches 65 decibels - it does feature a useful ECO mode that can dampen the noise. As you would expect from projectors marketed on their HD quality, these units can get an image large enough for native HD proportions.

Usually when you choose a portable business projector you have to make a few sacrifices in order to have such as small device - but that's not true with the Epson EB-S31.

Epson has an excellent reputation with business projectors, and it has brought much of its expertise to the EB-S31. Its 3,500 lumen brightness is much brighter than many other portable projectors, and means you have more flexibility when setting up the EB-S31 in environments where there is still ambient light.

The EB-S31 is small and light enough to carry around with you on business trips - but it also has a very large projection size - up to 300 inches - which makes this an incredibly versatile portable business projector.

Sony VPL-FHZ55

The Sony VPL-FHZ55 is designed to be installed once and not moved for a long time. At 26.5 pounds nobody will be volunteering to move it between floors, or even carting it between rooms. It measures 15.3" x 19.8" x 5.8" (W x D x H) and we believe it best positioned on a ceiling, even though that will make it even harder to ever move. With all that size, there is a lot to say about it.

Noteworthy for being the first 3LCD projector - a projection chip technology popularized by Epson and Panasonic - with a lamp-less treatment, thanks to a blue laser light source deployed by Sony. For all that above hype and hubbub, the enormous price should not shock you.

It's seriousness isn't just from a top-out of 4,000 lumens, but the fact that it can go for 20,000 hours, reducing the routine expense of replacing burnt out lamps that projectors generally include.

It is connector heavy, as it should be with that price-tag. The right-hand side is a full set of BNC/component inputs, an RGB D-sub 15-pin slot, DVI-D, monitor output and an HDMI input. On the opposite side is S-video, composite video, various analogue audio ins and outs, an RS-232C control jack (beloved of Crestron control systems, among others), the DC inlet, and wired LAN.

Unfortunately, as we notice all too frequently even with the best reviewed units, there is no built in WiFi for the VPL-FHZ55, though it can be networked. And the last thing we'll note is that the VPL-FHZ55 needs some room. To fill our 80-inch test screen we had to place the VPL-FHZ55 about 11.5 feet away!

The Asus ZenBeam E1 is a beautifully designed pocket projector that's small and light enough to carry around with you if you often make presentations on the road. 

Despite its small size, it can project images up to 120 inches in size, and it has a built-in 6,000mAh battery that can power the projector for up to 5 hours, which makes it rather flexible, as you don't have to worry about finding a plug socket to power the device. In a rather nice touch, the projector can also double as a power bank for other mobile devices.

The Asus ZenBeam E1 isn't the most powerful portable projector, but its versatility, ease of setup and eye catching design gives it a place on our list of best business projectors.

Best fitness trackers in UAE for 2019: the top activity bands on the planet

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 03:45 AM PDT

Update: We've just put a new entry into our best fitness tracker list. It's the Huawei Band 3 Pro, and you can find out where it has placed by scrolling down in our full ranking.

Fitness trackers are a great way to monitor your activity and health with little to no effort. Most of the best and newest devices on the market keep tabs on your workouts, heart rate, stress and everything in-between with pinpoint accuracy. 

Think of them as an electronic finger on the pulse, constantly measuring your vitals, quality of sleep, step count and - sometimes - more.

The current fitness band market is filled with fantastic devices for iOS 12 and Android Q, most of which can do a pretty good job at the basics of tracking. But frankly, we're only interested in the best, and you should be too.

We won't be looking at all the most high-end tech wristwear here. For that you'll want our best smartwatch guide, which includes top-end products like the Apple Watch 4, Fossil Sport and Samsung Galaxy Watch. 

You also won't find the Fitbit Ionic, Fitbit Versa or Fitbit Versa Lite here either, which despite the brand name are all smartwatches and are priced accordingly. Most of the devices below were released in 2018 (and a few even before that) but we can expect this list to change dramatically over the course of 2019.

This guide will show you the best of the best activity trackers that your money can buy. We'll show you how each ranks in terms of stand-out features, specs, price, design, the quality of the software you'll be using on your phone and much more.  

Image credit: Fitbit

More refined than the Fitbit Charge 2, the Charge 3 is Fitbit's newest device and has a more lightweight design that looks better on your wrist. It's also one of our favorite Fitbit products money can buy right now.

The display is bigger and clearer than a lot of other fitness trackers on this list, but it's still a black and white screen.

There's no onboard GPS, like some other trackers on this list have, but it's waterproof and offers a full fitness suite including a heart rate tracker. You can track GPS by pairing your phone with the tracker too.

You have to spend a bit extra on this than other fitness trackers you can buy in this same list, but if you enjoy the whole Fitbit app and experience and would also like access to notifications and Fitbit's fantastic sleep tracking, you'll want to opt for this as it's one of the company's best trackers ever.

Read our Fitbit Charge 3 review

What's next? We don't expect to hear about it soon, but we've brainstormed what we'd like to see come to a Fitbit Charge 4.

Image credit: Garmin

Our highest ranked Garmin product in the best fitness tracker list is also one of the most accomplished in its range of health bands.

This device isn't made for serious athletes like a variety of other products from the Garmin brand, but instead this is for those who want to be able to track the odd bit of exercise and have an attractive band to do it.

The screen is bigger on this version than other Garmin products, and it has a battery that should last you around a week depending on how much exercise you'll be doing.

There's also an innovative feature called body battery that helps you learn when exactly is the best time to exercise depending on how much energy you have. This is great for those who are just as interested in their recovery and general wellbeing as they are clocking up the miles.

Taking over from the Huawei Band 2 Pro is the Huawei Band 3 Pro. This is one of the best fitness trackers you can buy if you're on a strict budget, and it has some amazing features considering how much it costs.

The Band 3 Pro comes with GPS onboard, it has a water resistant design (which means you can take it swimming) and there's a 0.95-inch color screen to display all of your stats on your wrist.

We've found the heart rate monitor to be accurate, and while the GPS could be quicker at locking on we also found it to be precise. If you're looking for an affordable entry-level device for your first foray into the world of fitness tracking, this is a great place to start.

Read our Huawei Band 3 Pro review

This isn't the most capable fitness tracker in our best of list, but it does a lot considering its price and you'll get access to all of Fitbit's top-end services. 

The Fitbit Inspire HR unsurprisingly offers a heart rate tracker alongside a variety of other fitness tracking capabilities. 

It isn't as capable as the Fitbit Charge 3 as it lacks swim tracking or Fitbit Pay integration, but that's understandable as this is much cheaper.

It features a slimmer and more comfortable design than a lot of other trackers you can buy, so if you're after a Fitbit that won't be heavy on your wrist you may want to consider the Inspire HR as your next fitness band.

Read the full Fitbit Inspire HR review

Image credit: Samsung

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro hasn't made hefty changes to the company's wearable line since the Gear Fit 2, but there are a few improvements to an already great tracker.

The Gear Fit 2 Pro has a gorgeous design that looks fantastic on your wrist and as it's sporting a big, beautiful AMOLED display you'll be able to see all of your stats nice and clearly.

It also comes with GPS built-in so you can leave your phone at home while you go for a run as well as a top-notch heart rate sensor that should give you one of the most accurate readings possible from a wrist based tracker. Plus it will track your swimming too.

Read the full Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro review

What's next? The Samsung Galaxy Fit was announced alongside the Galaxy Watch Active in February, but it doesn't look like it'll be a full follow-up to the Gear Fit 2 Pro.

Image credit: Honor

Sitting in the exact same spot as the Honor Band 3 did before it, the Band 4 from Honor is a great budget pick if you're looking to save money on your fitness tracker.

This is much cheaper than a lot of the other bands on this list, and while it may not come with GPS or solid notifications it does offer good tracking for a casual runner as well as a beautiful color OLED display.

It's a small screen you'll have to work with here, but the point of the Honor Band 4 is to pack the essentials into a small package and keep the cost as low as possible. It's not for everyone, but you may find it the best fitness tracker for you.

Read our full Honor Band 4 review

It's not as stylish as most of the Fitbit products, but the reason the Garmin Vivosport appears in this list before products from the latter company. 

This is cheaper than most Fitbit products but it comes with GPS built-in and offers a solid seven days battery life from a single charge.

Although it's waterproof, it wont' track your swimming easily but the Vivosport excels for other kinds of workouts and is great for tracking your jogging and cycling.

Read our full Garmin Vivosport review

Image credit: Garmin

The Garmin Vivofit 4 is one of the best fitness trackers the company has ever created, and that now means it sits in this prestigious list alongside some other fantastic tracking products.

We particularly like the super-long battery life of the Vivofit 4, which means you won't need to recharge your device for a whole year. That means you can wear it all day, then all night for sleep tracking and not have to worry about recharging it.

You'll miss out on phone notifications by buying this tracker, but you do get the benefit of an always-on color display, accurate fitness tracking features - just note these are more limited than some other trackers on this list - as well as access to an in-depth app to break down your stats on your smartphone.

Images and specs leak out for Microsoft's all-digital Xbox One S

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 02:30 AM PDT

We've known for a while that Microsoft is planning a disc-free, all-digital version of its Xbox One S console, and now we've got some leaked images and a handful of specs to pore over as launch day approaches.

The new pictures and information, obtained by WinFuture, don't really bring with them any surprises. The console looks exactly how you would expect: an Xbox One S without a slot for discs.

According to WinFuture's sources, the console is going to come packing a 1TB hard drive, which should give you enough room to do without physical media.

Other tidbits we learn are support for 4K video playback and HDR. The price is apparently set at €229.99 – that's roughly $260 or £199, though Microsoft is unlikely to apply a direct currency conversion.

A starter bundle for the normal Xbox One S typically retails for €299.99, though you can find discounts if you shop around. In other words, we could be looking at a quarter of the price shaved off.

That price includes a single controller and three preinstalled games, according to the leak – Minecraft, Sea Of Thieves and Forza Horizon 3.

As for a release date, that's tipped to be April 16 – this coming Tuesday – with the console on sale in Europe from May 7. That all matches up with leaked information previously shared by Windows Central, which has also published mock up images similar to the newly leaked ones.

It sounds as though you won't have long to wait to get your hands on the latest iteration of the Xbox One. As always, as soon as Microsoft makes anything official, we'll bring you the news here.

The 10 best full-frame DSLRs in UAE for 2019

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 12:50 AM PDT

Most entry-level and mid-price DSLRs sport an APS-C sized sensor, with the physical dimensions of the chip measuring 23.6 x 15.7mm (22.2 x 14.8mm on Canon DSLRs). 

A full-frame sensor on the other hand has larger dimensions of 36 x 24mm - the same size as a frame of 35mm film, hence the name 'full-frame', and offering a surface area 2.5x larger than an APS-C sized sensor. 

This allows for larger photosites (pixels to you and I) on the sensor, delivering better light gathering capabilities, which in turn means better image quality - especially at higher sensitivities.

Many serious amateurs and enthusiasts can now enjoy the benefits of full-frame photography

Full-frame DSLRs used to be the preserve of professional photographers, but as the costs have dropped and lower-cost models have started to appear, many serious amateurs and enthusiasts can now enjoy the benefits of full-frame photography. 

We should also mention full-frame mirrorless cameras. These aren't DSLRs strictly, but the Sony A7 series cameras like the brilliant Alpha A7R III and Leica SL are muscling in on the full-frame DSLR market, and are particularly interesting for those who also need to shoot video.

To find out more, read this: Mirrorless vs DSLR cameras: 10 key differences. Or to get an idea of what kind of DSLR you can get at different price points, try this: Best DSLR. Otherwise, here's our pick of the best full-frame DSLRs you can buy right now:

It may be pricey, but the Nikon D850 is the ultimate full-frame DSLR you can buy right now. The 45.4MP full-frame sensor delivers detail-rich images with brilliant dynamic range and excellent high ISO noise performance, while the advanced 153-point AF system is hard to beat. Add in 7fps burst shooting, a rock-solid build and refined handling and the D850 is pretty much at the top of its game for any subject you want to shoot. A brilliant piece of kit that won't disappoint. 

Read our in-depth Nikon D850 review or view our hands-on video below

The 5D Mark IV pretty much tweaks and improves on everything the Mark III offered. This includes a brilliant new 30.4MP sensor that delivers pin-sharp results, an advanced 61-point AF system that's incredibly sophisticated, a pro-spec performance, 4K video and some very polished handling. Put this all together, along with a host of other features and it all combines to make the EOS 5D Mark IV one of the best DSLRs we've seen. Now overshadowed by the mighty D850 (above) as our full-frame DSLR of choice.

Read our in-depth Canon EOS 5D Mark IV review

Nikon D810

The D850 might have replaced it, but the D810 is still a brilliant full-frame DSLR. Images from Nikon's 36.3MP monster are bursting with detail, while its 1200-shot battery life puts the 50.6MP EOS 5DS in the shade. The 51-point AF system copes well with tricky focussing situations, mainly because both the AF and metering systems are taken from the now ex-range-topping Nikon D4S. Excellent handling and relatively modest dimensions further ensure that the D810 doesn't disappoint. 

Read our in-depth Nikon D810 review

EOS 5DS R

With 50.6 million effective pixels, the Canon EOS 5DS offers the highest resolution of any full-frame DSLR on the market today. Pixel-packed sensors can be compromised, but not here. Image quality is superb, with as you'd expect fantastic detail, well controlled noise and good dynamic range, making it the ideal choice for the landscape or studio photographer. It may have the resolution, but performance isn't great, while there's no Wi-Fi or 4K video recording. Huge image file sizes necessitate decent memory cards and a fast computer.

Read our in-depth Canon EOS 5DS review

Nikon D750

Admittedly the first four our quite pricey options, so if you're looking for something a bit more affordable, then the Nikon D750 should be at the top of your list. The D750 still packs a cracking 24.3MP sensor and is as weatherproof as the D810, yet it's roughly 25% cheaper. Compared to its baby brother, the D610, the D750 has a superior 51-point AF system, as well as more advanced metering and video capabilities. That's not forgetting the wider sensitivity range, useful tilting screen and Wi-Fi connectivity. Its continuous shooting speed of 6.5fps isn't quite as fast as some may have hoped for, but on the whole the Nikon D750 is a well-rounded, well-priced choice for enthusiast photographers.

Read our in-depth Nikon D750 review

Nikon d5

The D5 is Nikon's latest flagship DSLR, and it certainly doesn't disappoint. 20.8 megapixels might seem a bit stingy, but it means the D5 can shoot at 12fps continuous shooting, while the extended ISO range of ISO 3,280,000 has never been seen before in a camera. That's even before we get to the autofocus system - with a coverage of 173 AF points (99 of which are cross-type), the sophistication and speed of the AF is staggering. The ability to shoot 4K video is restricted to three minutes however, but that aside the D5 is a phenomenal camera that's used by professionals the world over.

Read our in-depth Nikon D5 review

EOS-1D X Mark II

Choosing between the EOS-1D X Mark II and Nikon D5 will most likely depend on which manufacturer you're already tied to with your lens system, but the two cameras are otherwise pretty closely matched. With the EOS-1D X Mark II, Canon has created a very powerful and versatile camera that's a great choice for professional sport and news photographers thanks to a blistering 14fps burst shooting. It doesn't have the outrageous sensitivity range of the Nikon D5, but it's very capable in low light, delivering excellent images within its standard sensitivity range.

Read our in-depth Canon EOS-1D X Mark II review

Sony has made some significant changes from the original A99 for this latest iteration, and the result is a camera that should satisfy a broad range of users. The high-resolution 42.2MP sensor at the camera’s heart is the A99 II’s greatest asset, while 4K video quality is also very good. At the same time the camera maintains much of what we loved about the A99, with excellent handing and the benefits of the SLT system presenting very real advantages over more traditional DSLRs. The arrival of the mirrorless Alpha A9 though takes the shine off a little. 

Read our in-depth Sony Alpha A99 II review

Canon EOS 6D

Canon has certainly made some significant improvements over the outgoing EOS 6D, packing in a host of new features including a fresh sensor, a faster processor, a much more credible AF system and a stronger burst rate. It's a much more well-rounded and better specified camera than the EOS 6D, but it's not without its issues. These niggles dull what is otherwise a very nice full-frame DSLR that's a pleasure to shoot with. It will certainly please Canon users looking to make the move into full-frame photography, but others might be better served elsewhere.

Read our in-depth Canon EOS 6D Mark II review 

Pentax k-1

The K-1 from Pentax offers a rugged build and a full-frame sensor at a relatively affordable price. It's not cheap, but it compares favourably with the likes of the Nikon D810, Canon 5D Mark III and Sony Alpha 7R II. Pentax's Pixel Shift Technology is clever, and it's great that the company has managed to produce a mode that can be used when the camera is hand-held, although the impact is subtle. Less of an all-rounder than the 5D Mark III, the K-1 makes an excellent camera for landscape, still life and portrait photography, or any genre that doesn't require fast autofocus and which benefits from a high pixel count for detail resolution.

Read our in-depth Pentax K-1

Also consider...

If you want to go full-frame, you're not just restricted to a DSLR. Sony's growing range of mirrorless full-frame cameras offer a great alternative and the new Alpha A7R III looks like it could be a tempting proposition for a lot of DSLR owners. The high resolution 42.2MP sensor promises huge dynamic range, combined with 10fps shooting and an advanced AF system, and you've got a camera that can mix it with the best that Canon and Nikon have to offer.

The best 2-in-1 laptop 2019: find the best convertible laptop for your needs

Posted: 14 Apr 2019 12:47 AM PDT

Over the last decade, we have fundamentally changed the way we use our laptops – thanks in large part to 2-in-1 laptops. The best 2-in-1 laptops come in every size and shape, and there’s nothing like flipping your laptop into tent mode to take in some Netflix after a long study session.

Some of the top 2-in-1 laptops, like the Dell XPS 15 2-in-1, will come strapped with the best processors, and will be among the best laptops on the market right now. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this convenient form factor.

Most of the best 2-in-1 laptops are going to be convertible, meaning their keyboard flips around the back, in order to transform into a tablet. There are a few 2-in-1 laptops that approach it differently, namely the Surface Book 2. Microsoft’s convertible has a detachable keyboard, and its high resolution PixelSense display is held up by sheer magnetic force. 

No matter how they implement the 2-in-1 functionality, these flexible laptops will usually have stylus compatibility – even if it’s becoming more rare to find a stylus included in the box. So, to help you find the best 2-in-1 laptop for your needs, we’ve gathered up every convertible notebook we’ve reviewed recently, with all their pros and cons taken into consideration.

The HP Spectre x360 isn’t just one of the best 2-in-1 laptops on the market, it’s one of the best laptops, period. There are few devices out there that match powerful components with svelte design quite as well as HP does here. The gem cut chassis will draw plenty of jealous looks in the coffee shop, while the powerful hardware will breeze through all of your work. And, when you’re done drawing in those jealous looks, you can flip it around into tablet mode to get some late-night Netflix in. 

Read the full review: HP Spectre x360

If you’ve been looking for one of the best 2-in-1 laptops, but you also kind of wanted something with some serious horsepower, you’re in luck. The Dell XPS 15, already one of the best Ultrabooks you can buy today, has been transformed into one of the best 2-in-1 laptops – with discrete class Radeon RX Vega graphics to boot. What this means is that you can get a beautiful 2-in-1, without sacrificing sheer power. And, while that means it’s a bit expensive on the high end – it’s totally worth it. 

Read the full review: Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 

The original Surface Book was great enough, so when we first heard that a 15-inch Surface Book 2 was on the way, our expectations went sky-high. Microsoft’s second 2-in-1 laptop isn’t perfect, but it’s still an impressive device. This 2-in-1 laptop isn’t just gorgeous, but it’s packed with 8th-generation Intel processors and Nvidia 10-series graphics for gamers and creative types alike. When you take that power and pair it with its nifty convertibility – it’s easy to see why it’s a winner.

Read the full review: Microsoft Surface Book 2 (13-inch)

While it doesn’t offer the same level of graphics performance, the Lenovo Yoga 920 is a much more affordable alternative to the Surface Book 2. For anyone who’s looking for value, rather than a detachable screen, the Lenovo Yoga 920 has a lot to offer. The design, for example, is less pronounced and has the subtlety of a more traditional Ultrabook. Meanwhile it’s thin and powerful at the same time. 

Read the full review: Lenovo Yoga 920

To be fair, we loved the 13-inch Surface Book already, so when we first caught word that a 15-inch Surface Book 2 was in the works, our expectations were amplified. In the end, Microsoft’s second 2-in-1 laptop isn’t perfect, but it is an impressive feat held back by a handful of (frankly necessary) concessions. For starters, this machine features cutting-edge 8th-generation Intel processors and Nvidia 10-series graphics for gamers and creative types alike. Pair that with its nifty convertibility, and we have ourselves a winner.

UFC 236 live stream: how to watch Holloway vs Poirier and the rest from anywhere

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 03:35 PM PDT

Fight night is here! Max “Blessed” Holloway first went up against Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier back in 2012, at just 20 years old, in his UFC debut. In their last fight, Poirier won via first-round submission but a lot has changed since then. And you can see how a Holloway vs Poirier match-up looks in 2019 with a UFC 236 live stream.

Holloway is now the current reigning featherweight champion and he even moved up a weight class for this match, but will he be able to settle the score with Poirier to become the new interim lightweight champion?

But it's not all about Holloway vs Poirier tonight. In the second interim title bout at UFC 236, Israel Adesanya will take on Kevin Gastelum for the interim middleweight title. Israel is currently undefeated and back in February, at the main event in UFC 234, he earned a milestone victory over Anderson Silva. The current champion Robert Whittaker is taking some time off to recover from a recent injury but whoever wins Saturday’s fight will likely have to face him upon his return.

Whether you’re a fan of Holloway, Poirier, Adesanya, Gastelum or just love the sport of UFC, we’ll show you how to live stream UFC 236’s Main Card from anywhere in the world. It's notable for being ESPN+'s first ever UFC PPV.

Live stream UFC from outside your country

Worry not if you're a huge UFC fan but aren't in the US to watch that ESPN+ coverage this weekend. If you find the coverage is geo-blocked, you can try using a VPN to change your IP address to a US server and watch this week's Main Card just as if you were back at home.

How to watch UFC online in the US exclusively on ESPN

Gone are the days of watching UFC on cable television as ESPN+ has now secured the rights to show UFC Atlanta as well as all upcoming UFC Fight Nights. One year and one day since it was launched, ESPN+ has already made a name for itself by hosting big-ticket tennis, soccer and boxing events.

And this is ESPN+'s very first PPV event. If you don't already have a subscription, then the way to go seems to be a UFC Bundle, costing you $79.99. That won't just buy you the UFC 236 PPV, but you’ll get a year-long subscription to ESPN+ (that would normally cost $60 alone).

For those that already have an ESPN+ subscription, you can still buy access to UFC 236 for $59.99. 

Got your subscription or bundle sorted but find yourself outside the US this weekend? Scroll up the page and take a look at our advice for using a VPN to watch the UFC 236 live stream from outside your country.

F1 live stream: how to watch the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix online from anywhere

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 03:25 PM PDT

So Mercedes is looking like the team to beat at the Chinese Grand Prix, with Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton on the front row of the grid at the Shanghai International Circuit. You can watch the crazy cornering, exciting straights and nail-biting near misses from anywhere in the world, using this guide to getting an F1 live stream.

The Shanghai Formula 1 track is relatively youthful with a 2003 birth following a whooping $450 million investment and 18 months of building. The track itself is designed to look like the Chinese symbol "shang" meaning "upwards". The result is some super fast straights and very high g-force corners. So who can we expect to master this track?

So far we've only had a glimpse at what the season may hold with a Bottas, Hamilton, Verstappen finish at the Australian race and a Bahrain podium of Hamilton, Bottas and Leclerc.

So who will take the points this time with Mercedes and Ferrari going head-to-head? The conditions in Shanghai are cool and the roughness of the asphalt is quite low. This is better for cars that focus on the front tyres working best. Evidence suggests Mercedes are looking after their rears, which creates an understeer balance meaning the advantage could sit with Ferrari in Shanghai.

Munguia vs Hogan live stream: how to watch tonight's boxing online from anywhere

Posted: 13 Apr 2019 02:17 PM PDT

The Jaime Munguia vs Dennis Hogan fight is here which means the WBO junior middleweight championship belt is on the line to fight for. This is your chance to live stream all the action from where you are in the world, and this guide explains how.

This fight sees home turf Mexican, Jaime Munguia in the ring for the second time in 2019 as he defends his WBO junior middleweight belt, having taken the boxing world by storm in 2018, as you can see from his record of 31-0, 26 KOs.

But Munguia's opponent is no slouch as Australia's Hogan also sports an impressive record of 28-1-1, 7 KOs. While he is the mandatory challenger for the belt, he earned that place by winning his last six fights including victory over Jamie Weetch by unanimous decision. 

Munguia has the home crowd behind him plus the age and height advantage over Hogan at 23 versus 34 and 6'1" versus 5'8". But this is boxing and anything can happen.

All the action will be live streamed on DAZN in North America. Read on to find out how to live stream the Munguia vs Hogan fight from absolutely anywhere.
