Samsung Galaxy S10 review
Samsung Galaxy S10 review
The Galaxy S10 is the middle child in this year’s Galaxy S10 range, between the Galaxy S10e, and the Galaxy S10 Plus. There’s no striking reason to buy it -- the Galaxy S10 Plus offers a bigger screen, better selfies, and better gaming performance -- but it’s still an excellent phone if you don’t want a phone that large. Here’s our review.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 review
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 review
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is good-looking, well made, packed with features, and is a powerful, modern, desirable smartphone. But you probably shouldn’t buy it. Why? Xiaomi has announced two very good alternatives which improve on the still-current Mi Mix 3, showing just how fast the mobile market moves today.

Fitbit's Versa Lite smartwatch is the company's most affordable smartwatch, but this low price comes with some strings attached.

Punkt MP-02 hands-on review
Punkt MP-02 hands-on review
Punkt’s second phone, the MP-02, doesn’t follow the generally accepted update cycle, adding only three main new features, one of which is a 4G LTE connection. Wondering why you’d want such a phone? Us too, so we discovered the reasons, and they’re very compelling. It’s a fascinating little phone you’re going to love.
Moto G7 review
Moto G7 review
Can the Moto G7 win back the budget crown for Motorola’s long-running G series? With a dual-lens camera, curved glass design, and a big display with a teardrop notch it’s certainly in with a chance. We tested it out fully to see how it measures up against increasingly stiff competition.

It can be hard to surprise us sometimes -- but throw five lenses on the back of your phone and that'll do it.

Nokia 9 PureView vs. Galaxy S10e: Can Nokia shut down Samsung?
MWC has been and gone, but it's left us with a lot of memories and some darn fine phones. With an incredible penta-lens rear camera, the Nokia 9 PureView is absolutely one of those phones. However, it's got stiff competition. The Galaxy S10e is close in price, and it's competing for your money.
LG V50 ThinQ hands-on review
LG V50 ThinQ hands-on review
The LG V50 ThinQ, the South Korean company’s first 5G smartphone, is coming to Sprint and Verizon this year. The phone is almost the same as last year’s LG V40 ThinQ, but it has updated specs, a few new features, and a secondary screen. Sadly, one of the most interesting features isn’t coming to the U.S.
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G hands-on review
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G hands-on review
The question of whether to buy a 5G phone in 2019 is complex. The Galaxy S10 5G will be one of the first 5G phones on all major carriers, but it’s also going to be among the most expensive in Samsung’s new Galaxy lineup.

Nubia Alpha Hands-on review
Nubia Alpha Hands-on review
The Nubia Alpha is the maddest wearable we’ve seen in a while. Described as a wearable smartphone, it has a 4-inch flexible screen that wraps around the top of your wrist, gesture controls so you don’t have to touch the screen, and even a camera. The style won’t be for everyone, and the price makes it a hard sell.

Vivo knows it's onto a winner with the cool motorized camera seen on the Vivo Nex S, and has now incorporated a newer version of the technology into the V15 Pro -- its latest camera phone that's packed with other desirable features too. We've tried the phone, and its impressive cameras.
Sirin Labs Finney review
Sirin Labs Finney review
The Sirin Labs Finney phone is to cryptocurrency what the iPhone is to Apple Pay. It facilitates the payment, processing, and exchanging of cryptocurrencies on a smartphone, and surprisingly does it in a user-friendly way. However, does that mean you should rush out and buy one? We’ve tried the phone out.
Nokia 3.1 Plus review
Nokia 3.1 Plus review
The Nokia 3.1 Plus is HMD Global’s first smartphone in the U.S. sold in a carrier store. It’s only available on Cricket Wireless right now -- but should you buy a phone this affordable? It comes so close to being a great phone with decent performance, fantastic battery life, and even NFC for Google Pay, but the camera brings it down.
Oaxis Timepiece Review
Oaxis Timepiece Review
The Oaxis Timepiece wants to be a traditional watch, a fitness tracker, and a basic smartwatch all-in-one. That’s a tall order, despite it sounding quite simple, so can the sub-$180 wearable manage to pull it off? We’ve been wearing it for a while to find out if it can complete the trifecta, or if it falls short.
Honor View 20 review
Honor View 20 review
The Honor View 20 is Honor’s best phone to date. Why? Just look at the hole-punch screen, which solves many of the problems associated with the notch, and then turn your attention to the striking design and the exciting 48-megapixel camera. This phone has it all, and it doesn’t cost much.
Honor Magic Watch hands-on review

Honor has taken the Huawei Watch GT and made it a little smaller, designed it a little better, and come up with the Honor Watch Magic. The alterations are winners, for the most part, and we’ve tried the various different versions on to see if it’s a worthy alternative to Huawei’s own fitness-focused smartwatch.
Mobvoi Ticwatch S2 review
Mobvoi Ticwatch S2 review
The Mobvoi TicWatch S2 is not the best looking smartwatch you’ll strap on your wrist, but it may be the toughest, and it’ll almost certainly be the cheapest. At $180, it has an astonishingly complete feature list that’ll appeal to anyone who spends time hiking, running, or swimming. We’ve been wearing it to see how it performs.

Razer’s Wireless Charger will turn your desk into gamer heaven
The Razer Wireless Charger adds colorful flair to your desk or bedside table. It works with any phone that supports Qi wireless charging -- with some quirks -- and the base glows different colors for a cool effect. It can be adjusted as a stand or pad, so is it worth the high price tag? We take a look.

It’s an Android tablet you can attach to a Smart Dock to create an Echo Show competitor, complete with Alexa integration. The Echo Show mode can also be triggered without the dock.
Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite hands-on review
Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite hands-on review
Huawei is bringing a tablet to the U.S., and it costs a little less than the $330 iPad. It's not as powerful, but there's a neat fingerprint sensor that can boot a secure environment specifically for children. It arrives in late January, and will be on sale from Amazon and Newegg.

ZTE Blade Max View review
ZTE Blade Max View review
After an incredibly tumultuous year, ZTE has made its way back into the United States. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer released two new budget phones at the end of 2018. One of them, the ZTE Blade Max View, makes its way into a very crowded budget phone market. Can it compare? We put it to the test to find out.
Huawei Watch GT review
Huawei Watch GT review
The Huawei Watch GT shows what Huawei can do when it ditches Google’s Wear OS and comes up with its own smartwatch operating system. The result is a stylish watch with amazing battery life, and some strong fitness tracking features, but with some surprising omissions that limited the device’s audience.
LG Watch W7 Review
LG Watch W7 Review
The LG Watch W7 is a Wear OS smartwatch, but it differentiates itself from the pack by offering mechanical watch hands. We appreciate LG’s efforts to try something new, but the execution on the W7 is flawed. At $450, the price is also steep for the limited features available on the smartwatch.
