Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review: show off
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review: show off A notable phone. “Someone might be watching everything I’m doing on my screen,” I tell myself in public. Even when I’m doing nothing of consequence – just making my little Wordle guesses – there’s a sense of unease that stays with me. It’s never bothered me too much, […]
Google Pixel 10A review: Just buy the 9A
Google Pixel 10A review: Just buy the 9A I’m not entirely sure why the Pixel 10A exists. Google hasn’t upgraded the chipset, cameras, or battery in the new phone, and the tweaks it’s made elsewhere are minimal at best. The flatter camera island is good, I guess! In one sense this isn’t a big problem: […]
Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus review: This again
Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus review: This again The S26 phones feel awfully familiar. While Samsung has treated its Flips and Folds to a few major hardware upgrades over recent years, the Galaxy S flagships have often felt like a long, unbroken line of minor spec refreshes.

The OnePlus 15 is the phone to buy if you hate charging your phone
The OnePlus 15 is the phone to buy if you hate charging your phone The alert slider might be gone but the red cable is still here. Have you ever laid down for the night, only to realize your phone charger is across the room? And then thought to yourself, “Nah, I’m not going to […]
Motorola’s Edge 70 is the blueprint for future thin phones
Motorola's Edge 70 is the blueprint for future thin phones The Edge 70 is just 5.99mm thick, but its battery almost matches the S25 Ultra’s. I’ve been as much of a thin phone skeptic as anyone. Why would I give up on camera specs and battery life just to shave a couple of millimeters off […]
You wish your phone had the Oppo Find X9 Pro’s battery life
You wish your phone had the Oppo Find X9 Pro's battery life The Find X9 Pro features a large battery, but it’s still a pretty slender device. Whenever I review a phone, one of the first things I do after setting it up is charge it to full and then just… let it run, using […]
