It only makes sense that if you’re going to develop a robot lawn mower, it should be able to trim, too. Ecovacs’ Goat A3000 Pro does just that, giving it an edge over others.

As earbuds have become commonplace, over-ear headphones have been a lot less popular and, really, they don’t get much love as they should. Nothing, popular for its earbuds, stepped into the category last year with Nothing Headphone (1) which, for $299, was already a great deal. Now, Nothing Headphone (a) has arrived and, somehow, manages to be an even better value.

Even though Fender Audio isn’t steeped in the world of Bluetooth audio, the Elie 12 makes a statement as part of the brand’s entry lineup. It’s a do-it-all speaker that somehow combines minimalist design with maximalist function and sound.

Nothing has really hit its stride with the whole budget smartphone thing, with two generations that really got the fundamentals right without breaking the bank. Throughout the company’s history, though, I’ve always felt like something was missing, and I think they’ve finally found it. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is the “something” I’ve been waiting for and, as it turns out, the formula was really quite simple.

Samsung has, for the past five years, been releasing essentially the same phone over and over again: a big screen, the latest Snapdragon chip, an S Pen, a 5,000 mAh battery, and the company’s best* camera setup. It’s undoubtedly attractive, and the formula clearly works. After two weeks with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, as much as I might want something more, I also can’t help but really like this phone.

But if the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, it’s time for the madness to end.

Trying to review the Pixel 10a feels like trying to bridge two completely separate narratives into one cohesive story.

There exists a group of users who don’t need smart glasses to record video or play media for them – they just want a simple device that blends seamlessly into their everyday with important notifications and assistance at their fingertips, and Even Realities almost got it right with the G2 smart glasses.

SteelSeries positions the new Arctis Nova Elite headphones as a premium high-res option for gamers, but in reality, it might be a premium option for all users. These headphones have some neat tricks up their sleeve that make them one of the best choices, no matter where you are.

The Nothing Phone series has delivered some of my favorite phones of the past few years, with a refreshing but familiar take on Android and smartphone hardware in general, and it’s all culminated in the Nothing Phone (3). I think it’s safe to say this was one of the most polarizing phones of 2025, and it’s also one that I think will serve as a bit of a make-or-break moment for Nothing.

If you stuff a bigger battery and faster display into a device that copies its more expensive counterpart, does that make it a better phone? Hard to tell, but the OnePlus 15R falls into that category, and it’s a weird one.

The war between TV display types has only made things more complicated and more confusing. The Hisense U7 stands out, offering a solid mini-LED experience at a price that sits right in the middle of the pack, where it should be.

Nothing’s CMF sub-brand often takes the core pieces of a Nothing product and makes that more affordable and, well, colorful too. The new CMF Headphone Pro is no different, but what really stands out to me is that it doesn’t just have the good ideas from Nothing, but a few more of its own.

No matter how it’s translated into raw sales or market share, OnePlus has been on a tear in the lead-up to the OnePlus 15. The OnePlus Open remains one of my favorite foldables ever, and I continue to hope for an eventual follow-up to compete against Samsung and Google’s efforts in the US. The OnePlus 12 and 13, meanwhile, offered exceptional rivals to the usual suspects lining your carrier’s shelves; this year’s OnePlus 13, in particular, felt like something special.

Instead of launching another generation of its successful health-tracking ring, Oura created a new variant without a metallic finish simply called the “Oura Ring 4 Ceramic.” As simple as the change is, it’s almost as exciting as a completely new ring.

My vision of the future was heavily shaped by the “One Day” concept video Google released 13 years ago to show the potential of augmented reality and how we’d use it day-to-day. With Galaxy XR this past week, I got an unexpected approximation of what AR smart glasses will feel like in a form factor that I’ve been bearish about since living with Vision Pro.

It’s been well over four years since Google graced us with a pair of budget-friendly Pixel Buds, but after rejuvenating its Pro entry with a vastly-improved second-gen pair, that’s exactly what we got at this year’s Pixel 10 launch event.

After years of choosing the smallest smartwatch, I spent the last six months with the 45mm Pixel Watch 3. In going back to the 41mm Pixel Watch 4, I think this size class needs to grow, literally, to address how just one aspect is holding back an otherwise great device.

Google’s Pixel Watch series has, at first glance, only evolved slightly in its various generations. But the latest Pixel Watch 4 is a bit more than meets the eye, and it’s also the smartwatch that Google has always wanted.

Where Android foldables are making massive jumps in form factor, the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold seemingly sits stagnant. That’s where small changes make a massive difference, even if that means it isn’t cutting edge anymore.

Nothing gets a lot of attention around its smartphones nowadays, but audio products are what made a name for the company. Over the past week, I’ve had the chance to check out the Nothing Ear (3), the fourth-generation earbuds from Nothing, and I’ve got mixed feelings.

Yale’s latest Smart Lock no longer bears the “Nest” tag, but Google Home still prefers it over other options. For the first time, it’s supported by just about any smart home ecosystem with Matter, an absolute win for the veteran lock-maker.

Ecovacs has made a name for itself by producing some excellent robot cleaners that cover vacuuming and mopping around the house. It isn’t uncommon for a new flagship offering to bring welcome yet iterative changes to the user, but this time is a little different. The Deebot X11 Omnicyclone from Ecovacs ditches one of the most annoying and repetitive parts about robot vacuums, and it makes massive changes in charging that mean it rarely stops running.

Google Pixel hit the scene in 2016 and, ever since, Google has been trying to figure out how it wants to build a flagship Android smartphone. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride in one way or another, but after a week using the Pixel 10 Pro XL, I think, for better or worse, this is the culmination of Google’s efforts thus far.

We’ve spent some quality time with the Honor Magic V5 over the last few weeks, and among rather massive launches surrounding its release in Europe and the UK, the Magic V5 is a well-built device that stands against giants. So how does it hold up?
