A smart lock is an easy solution to some common problems. Locked yourself out? Need to let a friend in to water the plants? Your latchkey kid lost their key? Hands are full, and it’s raining cats and dogs? A smart lock solves all of these problems and more. One of the best smart home […]
Oh shit. Did I leave my phone at home? I experienced that moment repeatedly while testing the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. I’d glance into my bag, or note the lack of weight in my jacket pocket, and my stomach would drop. The phone isn’t there. But lo and behold, after another moment of digging through […]
Doomscroll on TikTok long enough, and you’ll come across an ad for AI video apps. In one ad, a stereotypically nerdy girl puckishly smirks as she uploads a picture of herself and her much more handsome crush. Boom – suddenly, thanks to AI, they’re smooching. In another, I’m shown a woman in a blouse and […]
I have always had a soft spot for the Surface Pro X. It was the thinner, lighter, and fanless Surface tablet that I had always wanted Microsoft to make, but when it came out nearly six years ago, Windows wasn’t ready to handle the Arm chip inside – and vice versa. Sluggish performance and app […]

Microsoft finally found its answer to the MacBook Air last year with the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop (formerly known as 7th Edition).

Hot water is like internet connectivity for most Verge readers: you just expect it to be there. But that’s unlikely to be the case this summer when tent camping at a music festival or road-tripping into the great unknown. That’s where BougeRV’s battery-powered shower comes in. The $310 “Portable Propane Outdoor Camping Water Heater” from […]
The first thing I noticed about the Fujifilm X Half is just how small and light it is. The camera is designed to give you no excuses – you should be able to bring it with you everywhere. And after spending a few hours walking around LA with the camera, I’m starting to understand why […]
Even with the ability to take excellent photos with our phones and instantly share them across the world, there’s something magical about the old-school instant camera. With just a click of a button, you can capture a moment in a photo that you can see and touch almost immediately. Images captured by an instant camera […]
Here in sunny Mountain View, California, I am sequestered in a teeny-tiny box. Outside, there’s a long line of tech journalists, and we are all here for one thing: to try out Project Moohan and Google’s Android XR smart glasses prototypes. (The Project Mariner booth is maybe 10 feet away and remarkably empty.) While nothing […]
