Michael Kors Access Runway review

Michael Kors Access Runway review

The Michael Kors Access Runway boasts important health and fitness features, all packed into a beautiful case. While it includes Google’s newly redesigned Wear OS, it doesn’t include Qualcomm’s latest chipset. Is it still worth the purchase? We take a closer look.

With so many great gaming phones already out, is there room for another? The Xiaomi-backed Black Shark thinks so. But is it any good? While it has all the power it needs for great gaming performance, it struggles with some flawed software. Read our Black Shark review for more.

Apple Watch Series 4 review

Apple Watch Series 4 review

Apple already ruled the smartwatch market with the Apple Watch Series 3, but the Series 4 elevates it to new levels with more screen, a sleeker design, and a world-first electrocardiogram app that lets you keep tabs on your ticker.

Microsoft Surface Go review

Microsoft Surface Go review

Microsoft has launched the $400 Surface Go to take on both the iPad and the Chromebook in a single device. It’s a bold attempt to appeal to everyone’s needs in a compact, budget-friendly form factor, but can a device this small work as a PC?

Montblanc Summit 2 review

Montblanc Summit 2 review

Montblanc’s Summit 2 is the first smartwatch to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor. It’s feature packed with GPS, NFC for Google Pay, and a heart rate sensor, but it also has a classic timepiece design that will leave you questioning whether it really is a smartwatch. It’s expensive, but it’s the luxury smartwatch to buy.

We checked out Samsung’s 5G concept phone. Here’s what it’s like

5G is been all talk for years, but it's finally becoming a reality. In fact, at Qualcomm's annual Snapdragon Summit, Samsung showed off a concept of its first 5G device, which will ultimately go on to be released to the public in the first half of 2019. We were able to try the device for ourselves.

Huawei Mate 20 review

Huawei Mate 20 review

The Huawei Mate 20 exists in the shadow of its more desirable sibling, the Mate 20 Pro. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth your time though, and it actually has some features that are more preferable than those on the Pro. We’ve been using it for a week to see how it performs.

Skagen Falster 2 review

Skagen Falster 2 review

Skagen unveiled the Falster Wear OS smartwatch earlier this year, and not even a year later the Falster 2 has arrived.

Our Skagen Falster 2 review explains why this is among the best stylish smartwatches around.

BlackBerry Key2 review

BlackBerry Key2 review

The BlackBerry Key2 is a great smartphone with some interesting high-tech features. The Key2 LE strips away some of those high-tech features to focus more on productivity and security, while reducing the price at the same time. Should you be tempted by a cut-price BlackBerry in 2018? We find out in our review.
Google Pixel Slate

Google Pixel Slate review

Google Pixel Slate review

The Pixel Slate is Google’s answer to the iPad Pro and Surface Pro 6. With Chrome OS and Android at its disposal, the Pixel Slate is a device that has the potential to be the most convincing 2-in-1 device ever made. But with all that ambition, there’s bound to be some problems and hiccups along the way.

Huawei Band 3 Pro review

Huawei Band 3 Pro review

Huawei’s latest fitness tracker is the Huawei Band 3 Pro. At $70, the Band 3 Pro is meant to be a versatile device that can be worn both day and night while also providing advanced fitness tracking when you need it. But with very few differences from its predecessor, is it worth the upgrade? Find out in our Huawei Band 3 Pro review.

Fossil has released its first-ever smartwatch featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100. For $255, each quirky-colored version of the smartwatch comes packed with a heart-rate sensor, built-in GPS, and more.

Misfit Vapor 2 review

Misfit’s next-generation smartwatch, the Vapor 2, packs built-in GPS, a heart-rate sensor, and more, into a beautiful design. Even though it’s a fashionable smartwatch, it’s still comfortable enough to work out with. We take a closer look at the company’s new device.

iPhone XS Max review

iPhone XS Max review

The iPhone XS Max has a much improved camera, the powerful A12 Bionic processor, and Face ID, but should you get Apple's massive 6.5-inch iPhone? Or should you pick the iPhone XS, which is quite a bit smaller? For our review, we put the Max through its paces to find out.

Asus ROG Phone review

Asus ROG Phone review

Is a gaming smartphone only something a mobile gamer should consider buying? In the case of the Asus ROG Phone, the good news is the device is so capable, and a genuinely impressive all-rounder, that everyone should take a closer look. However, it’s the hardcore mobile gamers that will be at the front of the queue.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro hands-on review

Xiaomi has officially launched in the U.K., and its first major device launch is the Mi 8 Pro, a phone that looks quite a bit like the iPhone XS; but with a very cool transparent back panel and an in-display fingerprint sensor. We’ve been trying the phone out, and here’s what it has been like to live with.

Kindle Paperwhite (2018) review

Kindle Paperwhite (2018) review

The Kindle Paperwhite (2018) has long been Amazon's most beloved ebook reader. After three years of waiting, the Paperwhite finally got a refresh for 2018. And while it may look the same as its predecessor, new features like Bluetooth connectivity and an IPX8 rating makes it a worthwhile upgrade for serious readers.

Nokia 7.1 review

Nokia 7.1 review

HMD Global’s latest phone in the U.S. is the Nokia 7.1, and it’s almost perfect. With a solid camera, a great screen, good performance, and excellent build quality, you’ll be amazed that you don’t have to pay more. Check out our full Nokia 7.1 review.
Kobo Forma review

Kobo Forma review

Kobo Forma review

With its gorgeous eight-inch E Ink display and impressive hardware, the Kobo Forma is a premium ebook reader that goes up against the likes of Amazon’s second generation Kindle Oasis. But at $280, it comes in at more than twice the price other excellent ebook readers on the market. Is the Kobo Forma worth the investment?

Huawei Mate 20 Pro review

Huawei Mate 20 Pro review

There are only so many features you can cram into a smartphone, yet Huawei seems to have thought of them all, then added a few more for luck on the Mate 20 Pro. There’s everything from a triple-lens camera to the ability to charge your friend’s phone wirelessly. If you can think of it, chances are it’s inside the Mate 20 Pro. Here’s our review of this impressive phone.
Palm

Palm review (Connected model)

Palm review (Connected model)

The all-new, Verizon-exclusive, Palm syncs to your primary smartphone and acts as a secondary device -- with features to help balance smartphone usage. But after spending some time with it, its poor camera quality and awful battery life are only a few of the issues we have with the device.
Google Pixel Stand

Google Pixel Stand review

Google Pixel Stand review

Google’s new Pixel 3 smartphones can wirelessly charge, so the company is releasing its own wireless charger. But the Pixel Stand is no ordinary charger -- it’s packed with smart features that enhance your phone even when it’s out of your hands. It also makes Google Assistant far more accessible.
ASUS Zenfone 5Q review

ASUS Zenfone 5Q review

ASUS Zenfone 5Q review

The Zenfone 5Q has a beautiful design, long-lasting battery, and solid performance. But for $300, it doesn’t quite live up to its good looks, especially with all the other budget phone options out there on the market. We take a closer look at what this budget phone has to offer in our Asus Zenfone 5Q review.

North Focals hands-on preview

North, formerly known as Thalmic Labs, has unveiled a new product alongside the brand-name change. Focals is a pair of smartglasses, like Google Glass, that attempt to help keep you heads-up in the present, instead of staring down at a screen. It costs $999, and pre-orders have begun.

Huawei Mate 20 X hands-on review

Huawei Mate 20 X hands-on review

The Huawei Mate 20 X has a 7.2-inch screen, but is surprisingly manageable to hold, yet still a little too big to carry around. Huawei’s pushing the phone’s ability as a mobile gaming handheld, challenging everything from the Razer Phone to the Nintendo Switch. We’ve tried one out to see what it’s like.

Porsche Design Huawei Mate 20 RS hands-on review

Porsche Design Huawei Mate 20 RS hands-on review

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro looks like an exceptional phone, so can a version with Porsche Design’s involvement be worth spending twice as much on? We’ve taken the phone for a test drive, and enjoyed cradling the leather-clad case in our hands; but does it go deeper than that? Let’s take a look in our hands-on review.

Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 hands-on review

Samsung’s new 2018 Galaxy S9 smartphone is a real contender in the mid-range smartphone world, due to a very special quad-cam setup on the back. It’s made for Instagram fans who want Galaxy S-style features and design, without the massive price tag. We’ve tried the phone out to see if Samsung’s A series revival is one to consider.
