Asus’ new open earbuds are a wonderful companion for handheld gaming

The Cetra Open Wireless aren’t like most other gaming earbuds. They’re large, with an open-style design that rests just outside of your ears, letting game audio mix with sounds in your environment. These allow for immersion, but only if your environment is quiet enough. And turning them up might let those nearby hear what you’re […]

Oppo’s new foldable isn’t quite creaseless, but it’s pretty damn close

The first thing most people seem to do when they try out a foldable phone I’m reviewing is look for the crease in the screen. In the case of Oppo’s Find N6, it might take them a while. Oppo claims that the Find N6, launching in full next week on March 17th, has the world’s […]

The best Switch 2 controller just got better (and a little worse)

Crowning the EasySMX S10 the best Switch 2 controller last fall was easy. The $60 wireless gamepad, which is often well below $50, mimics or improves on many of the $90 Switch 2 Pro controller’s best features.

Nothing is finally covering up with the slim, metal Phone 4A Pro

Today Nothing has revealed the 4A and 4A Pro, its latest midrange phones. The two look startlingly different from one another, with varying designs and Glyph Light interfaces.

Our first hands-on look at Apple’s MacBook Neo

Here is the MacBook Neo, Apple’s new entry-level Mac laptop. Its colorful chassis options easily set it apart from current MacBook Air and Pro models.

I’m not ashamed to admit the Kobo Remote is the best gadget I’ve bought this year

Does anyone really need a remote for a device you’re already either holding or using at arm’s length? E-readers have saved us from the risk of paper cuts and the burden of physically turning pages, but Kobo is making it even easier by releasing a wireless page-turning remote.

Hands on: I’m super impressed with the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s new Privacy Display

Maybe it’s a reflection of just how slow hardware innovation has been, but the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s new Privacy Display, which limits the screen’s viewing angle to keep any would-be peepers away, left me totally impressed. It’s not a brand-new technology – we’ve seen it before in laptops – and it was leaked thoroughly before […]

Hands on: the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus are more of the same for more money

There’s a cool new hardware feature debuting at Samsung’s annual Unpacked event – but you won’t find it on the Galaxy S26 or S26 Plus. While the Ultra model gets a new Privacy Display and avoids a price hike, Samsung’s base models are largely software updates that cost more than the outgoing models. Don’t get […]

This limited edition Death Stranding-inspired tablet is the coolest computer I’ve ever touched

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 was already a unique beast. It’s a chunky gaming tablet with impressive AMD Strix Halo integrated graphics. I was really into it when I reviewed it around this time last year. But just look at it now, clad in the stylings of Hideo Kojima’s game studio and his longtime collaborator, […]

This magazine plays Tetris — here’s how

Tetris has been immortalized in a playable McDonald’s plastic chicken nugget, a playable fake 7-Eleven Slurpee cup, and a playable wristwatch. But the most intriguing way to play Tetris yet is encased in paper. Last year the Tetris Company partnered with Red Bull for a gaming tournament that culminated in the 150-meter-tall Dubai Frame landmark […]
