The OnePlus Nord 5 does exactly what the company’s Nord phones have always done: deliver strong specs at a relatively low price. It’s one of the more powerful phones at this price point and should easily outstrip Samsung and Google’s more expensive alternatives. This is a function-over-form phone, one where the key selling points are […]
If I were to believe the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, I don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. Normally, smartwatches don’t make judgments about your nutritional intake. But this year, Samsung introduced a new experimental feature called Antioxidant Index. Using blue, yellow, and infrared LEDs, the watch’s sensor can pick up carotenoid levels in your skin. […]
I’ve gone back and forth over the years on whether or not I can actually work from an iPad. The answer has always been: sort of. I can write on an iPad. I can edit on an iPad. So, I guess I’ve always been able to “work” from an iPad. But with a Magic Keyboard […]
Apple just launched the watchOS 26 public beta, which means everyone can now try the latest software heading to the Apple Watch this fall. That includes new Apple Intelligence features, such as Workout Buddy, new messaging features, the Wrist Flick gesture, and more. I’ve been using the developer beta and have some thoughts to share. […]
The Starlink Mini satellite dish is now even better thanks to the $119 LinkPower 1 power bank from PeakDo. The battery locks securely to the back of SpaceX’s smallest terminal and provides over 4.5 hours of uninterrupted Internet connectivity. The LinkPower’s battery can also charge simultaneously over USB-C from your car, solar generator, or solar […]
I can’t believe they’re actually making these, was my very first thought, as I powered on a working prototype of the OneXSugar Sugar 1. This week, One-Netbook is crowdfunding a gaming handheld on Indiegogo like none I’ve ever touched before. It’s got two OLED touchscreens, two power buttons, two sets of volume controls, and two […]
One of the best features of Amazon’s new Alexa Plus is that I don’t have to “speak Alexa” anymore. I’ve been testing the voice assistant for about a week now, and it understands what I say, regardless of how I say it – there’s no more need for precise phrasing to get Alexa to do […]
I seldom sleep in the same place for more than a couple of weeks at a time, so I’m a big fan of portable all-in-one projectors. They’re small and set up quickly, making them ideal for vanlife, gaming parties, outdoor movie nights, or an evening in on the couch – but they usually sacrifice quality […]
Nothing says that the Phone 3 is its “first true flagship phone,” and it has put its money where its mouth is. The phone is getting a full US launch, and at $799, it costs exactly the same as a Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, or iPhone 16. That makes reviewing the Phone 3 refreshingly simple, […]
I’ve been using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for a week, and I’ve run out of ways to say “It’s so nice.” It’s not essential, or life-changing; it’s nice. It’s an understatement, though. Samsung joins the likes of Honor and Oppo in making a folding phone that’s almost as thin as a regular phone, and […]
