It’s that time of year again when people flood airports in order to fly out to their vacation spots or to visit loved ones for the holidays. For those flooding Chicago O’Hare Airport, be prepared to not just see your flight information, but Best Buy’s Geek Squad Agents as well.

From December 15 through December 23, Geek Squad Agents will be staked out near the airport’s Concourse H food court in Terminal 3. There, you will find agents providing gadget advice and tech tips, as well as free service on handheld devices. The Geek Squad will provide charging stations and desktop workstations that will allow you to play some games to kill time or buy last-minute gifts.

“We depend on our phones, tablets, and laptops whether we’re 30,000 feet in the air or at the gateway,” Geek Squad Services president Chris Askew said in a press release. “So there is nothing more frustrating than technology troubles while you’re traveling. That’s why we’ve decided to give the gift of Geek Squad to travelers this holiday, and offer free service and advice, along with a well-deserved break.”

If you want the free service, make sure to check out the Geek Squad’s temporary “Precinct” and service booth, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

The camera on this Android phone is confusing, but I love it
The back of the Tecno Camon 30 Premier.

I’m all for a lot of detail, and love to hear about the new technology that’s inside a smartphone I’m about to test, but when I have to search for an explanation of what something means, it’s not a good start. The Tecno Camon 30 Premier suffers from this problem, as it has a lot of cool camera tech that is explained in a mystifying way.

So, I thought the best thing to do was to just ignore the tech speak and find out if it takes great photos the old-fashioned way.
What's the problem?

The 5 best phones with IR blasters in 2024
The OnePlus 12's camera module.

IR blasters used to be a common component in smartphones, with big products from Samsung, OnePlus, and TCL giving users access to the cool gadget. Phones equipped with IR blasters could be used as a universal remote for your other electronics, making it easy to control your gear without the need for their default controller (which might be clunky and unintuitive to use).

Fast forward today, and attempting to find a smartphone with an IR blaster is shockingly difficult. What was once common technology is now relegated to just a handful of smartphones. You won't find any iPhones or Galaxy phones with IR blasters, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for a poorly reviewed smartphone if you're interested in the tech. You will, however, probably need to settle for either OnePlus or Xiaomi, as they're the two key players still churning out powerful smartphones equipped with IR blasters.

Natural Titanium iPhone 15 Pro with Chopper and BD-1 droids around it.

Apple releases multiple iPhones every year, offering folks choice in terms of size and features. In 2024, the iPhone 15 lineup includes four distinct models.

The regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are great for those who don’t need a telephoto lens and don’t care about the Action button or the 1TB of storage. But anyone who wants a more “pro” experience has the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
