Google Pixel 10 review: perfectly fine
Google Pixel 10 review: perfectly fine Pencils down. Asking the Pixel 10 to be more than what it is feels greedy. Google’s non-Pro Pixel is priced fairly at $799, which is significantly less than the $999 Pixel 10 Pro. It comes with some handy upgrades, like Qi2 charging with built-in magnets. Its AI features finally […]

Google Pixel 10 Pro review: AI, Qi2, and a spec bump too
Google Pixel 10 Pro review: AI, Qi2, and a spec bump too Not a perfect ten but pretty damn good. Last year, Google proved it could make a phone that looks and feels like a true flagship, despite the software feeling like an AI jumble. This year, the Pixel 10 Pro starts to put AI […]
The Fairphone 6 no longer feels like a compromise (except in the US)
The Fairphone 6 no longer feels like a compromise (except in the US) The Fairphone 6 arrives almost two years after the 5, a testament to the company’s approach to the upgrade cycle. If anything, I suspect the company would be frustrated if Fairphone 5 owners were considering a new model already – these are […]
OnePlus Nord 5 review: selfie-centric midranger
OnePlus Nord 5 review: selfie-centric midranger 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 […]

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: stunning, bendy, and spendy
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: stunning, bendy, and spendy Quiet luxury. 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 […]

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a big phone with small phone energy A big phone for people who don’t want to carry a big phone. | ⠀ 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 […]
Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) review: looking sharp
Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) review: looking sharp Wood gadgets are back, baby. The Motorola Razr Ultra is something special, but it’s not quite Ultra. It’s gorgeous. It’s a delight to use, and even after several generations of this revamped Razr flip format, checking bus arrival times on the outer screen still feels like getting away […]
