The Oppo Reno 2’s quad camera array takes photos like no other at this price
The Oppo Reno 2 has a four-lens camera that provides all the features most of us expect to see on an expensive flagship phone, without the expensive price tag. Announced for the U.K. after a recent international release, we have been trying the camera out for a few days to see how it performs. It has exceeded our expectations.
Samsung Galaxy Fit review
Samsung Galaxy Fit review
Samsung’s going toe-to-toe against Fitbit’s Inspire HR with its own $99 fitness tracker -- the Galaxy Fit. It also has a heart rate monitor, can automatically detect six workouts, shows you all the notifications from your phone, and has a battery that can last for days -- all in a small package.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active review
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active review
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active is a strong contender in the wearable world. It has solid battery life, a great notification system, and good fitness-tracking capabilities, all for a price of $200. Did we mention it looks great, too? The competition’s tough, but the Galaxy Watch Active puts up a tougher fight.
Sony Xperia 1 review: One for the fans
Sony Xperia 1 review: One for the fans
Sony’s Xperia 1 smartphone is svelte, tall, modern, and powerful. The 21:9 aspect ratio means you get a cinematic viewing experience. It’s too bad there are several other shortcomings, such as a lackluster camera, unimpressive battery life, and far too high of a price tag. Here’s our Xperia 1 review.

Coros Vertix review: For the mountaineer in all of us

OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition hands-on review: A looker
OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition hands-on review: A looker
Sure to become the most desirable, and certainly the rarest, of all the new OnePlus 7T series phones, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition has a key design feature that's unexpected to say the least. It makes this high performance phone standout, and even more of a conversation piece than expected.
OnePlus 7T Pro review: A real beauty, inside and out
OnePlus 7T Pro review: A real beauty, inside and out
Sleeker, more stylish, and with some tempting tech upgrades, the OnePlus 7T Pro is everything the OnePlus 7T is and then a little bit more. There's a slightly bigger battery inside along with 3x optical zoom in the camera. But is that enough to recommend you pay more for it?
Motorola One Zoom review: Four times the photography fun
Motorola One Zoom review: Four times the photography fun
With an incredibly versatile quad-lens camera, stamina for days, and a snazzy purple finish, the Motorola One Zoom is a midrange marvel at $450. But there has to be a compromise somewhere, right? Find out how well it performs in the wild as I put it through its paces in this Motorola One Zoom review.
Amazon Fire 7 (2019) Review
Amazon Fire 7 (2019) Review
As the bargain basement model in Amazon’s Fire tablet range, the Fire 7 (2019) and the Fire 7 Kids Edition are amazingly cheap at just $50, but how has Amazon achieved such a low price? I took them for an extended test spin to learn what it can do and uncover the compromises lurking within.
Walmart Onn Android Tablet review
Walmart Onn Android Tablet review
The Walmart Onn Android tablet has the potential to set a fire under Amazon, the current king of the budget tablet market. I tried out the 8-inch Onn tablet to find out exactly what it’s capable of and uncover the compromises that enabled Walmart to achieve such a low price.

Asus ROG Phone 2 review: The power to change your game
Asus is on a roll in 2019, having started out with the Zenfone 6 -- a welcome surprise and a great phone -- and now the ROG Phone 2. This gaming smartphone is a performance powerhouse, from the processor to the battery, and the stunning screen is a joy.

Diesel On Axial hands-on review: An undeniably wild and stunning smartwatch
Diesel's latest smartwatch, the On Axial, has the wildest, most uncompromising, and completely masculine design we've seen yet. The brilliant visuals are matched with some much needed technical improvements too, and based on our early impressions, it's going to be a solid performer. Here's our first look.
Android 10 review: A small but beneficial update
Android 10 review: A small but beneficial update
Android 10 is the latest version of Google’s Android mobile operating system, and it brings numerous important changes, from improved privacy settings to a dark theme. It follows Android 9 Pie, and there’s a lot to know about the new OS. Here are our impressions after using it for several months.
Misfit Vapor X Review: Forget the fuss
Misfit Vapor X Review: Forget the fuss
The Misfit Vapor X smartwatch keeps a low profile in stealthy black; but don't take this for an inability to impress. We've tested the watch out for a few weeks, and found it to be one of the most reliable, easy-to-live-with WearOS smartwatches available today. The subtle, unfussy design goes with everything too.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro hands-on review: Tempting and talented, but sadly stifled
Huawei Mate 30 Pro hands-on review: Tempting and talented, but sadly stifled
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is what we've come to expect from Huawei, a highly capable camera-orientated smartphone with a stunning screen and some interesting (and sometimes unsuccessful) additional features. But this time it doesn't have Google apps or services. How has this affected the phone?
Coros Apex is light in weight, long on battery life, but misses on features
Coros Apex is light in weight, long on battery life, but misses on features
Coros may be a newcomer to the GPS watch market, but the company is making a name for itself with its incredible battery life. Power savings is only part of the equation, a good fitness watch also has to track performance. We tested the Apex to see how it stacks up to the current crop of GPS watches.
Huawei Mate X hands-on review: The future in our hands
Huawei Mate X hands-on review: The future in our hands
Want to see into the future? Here it is: The Huawei Mate X. Despite a longer than expected wait for its final arrival, it's almost ready to go on sale, and it's still as exciting as before. The frightening price tag hasn't changed, and there are new concerns over the software, but we still want one.

Fi GPS dog collar review: Finding Fido
With three-month battery life and a super compact design, the Fi GPS dog collar is discreet enough to slip on your pooch and forget about. Until you really need it. Our full review takes a look at battery life, range, and pricing compared to the alternatives.
Moto Z3 review
Moto Z3 review
Motorola’s flagship smartphone of 2018 looks exactly like its mid-range smartphone of 2018, and it’s powered by a processor from 2017. It may sound odd, but this $480 Verizon-exclusive device is a strong performer, and will be the first upgradable 5G smartphone next year.
Sony Xperia 5 hands-on review: Compact, colorful, but not quite a winner
Sony Xperia 5 hands-on review: Compact, colorful, but not quite a winner
Is Sony's Xperia 5 a true successor to the much-loved and now mostly deceased Compact series of Sony phones that packed winning specs into a smaller, more easy to handle body? Almost. It certainly wins on the design, style, colors, and size; but there are concerns over the camera and a true reason to buy.
Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab hands-on review
Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab hands-on review
The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab draws inspiration from the company’s previous Android slates, with its unique circular hinge. Harnessing the power of Google Assistant and dual JBL hi-fi speakers, it consolidates what we saw with the previous Alexa-enabled offering into one singular device.
Withings Move ECG review: An affordable electrocardiogram alternative
Withings Move ECG review: An affordable electrocardiogram alternative
The Apple Watch Series 4 starts at $400, and while it’s feature-packed, the highlight is the electrocardiogram, which has the potential to save lives. Withings’ Move ECG has the same capability but at a fraction of the cost. It’s not as smart as the Apple Watch, but it works on Android and iOS as well.
ZTE Axon 10 Pro review: Great performance for $549
ZTE Axon 10 Pro review: Great performance for $549
The ZTE Axon 10 Pro is the Chinese company's first flagship phone to make it to the U.S. in two years, after the U.S. ban that lifted in 2018. It doesn't support 5G, but it does bring killer specifications at an affordable $549 price point, giving OnePlus and the OnePlus 7 Pro a run for its money.
Kobo Libra H20 review: Premium without the price
Kobo Libra H20 review: Premium without the price
At a significantly lower price than the top-tier ebook readers, the Kobo Libra H20 goes toe-to-toe in the features department, making it a tempting proposition. Kobo had to compromise on the design and build quality, but this is still a compelling device with a color-adjustable light and water resistance.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Review: The Note for everyone else
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Review: The Note for everyone else
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 is one of two phones launched at Unpacked 2019, alongside the Note 10 Plus. Of the two, this one is smaller, has only one storage option (and no MicroSD slot), as well as a smaller battery. But it’s still has a lot going for it, including its beautiful sleek design.
The Suunto 5 sports watch is durable, but the display holds it back
The Suunto 5 sports watch is durable, but the display holds it back
Suunto set a high bar last year with the touchscreen-enabled Suunto 9, but its latest fitness watch, the Suunto 5, is a step backward. The watch offers Suunto's most exciting training and battery technology, but an uncomfortable band and low-quality display leaves us disappointed.
Motorola One Action hands-on review
Motorola One Action hands-on review
Motorola’s latest phone is called the Motorola One Action, and it wants to end vertical videos once and for all. The unique action camera lets you film in portrait orientation, but you still get landscape video footage. Sadly, in the U.S. this phone won’t be a part of the Android One program.
Fitbit Ace 2 review
Fitbit Ace 2 review
With its Ace 2 fitness tracker for kids, Fitbit didn't just take one of its adult fitness bands and repackage it. The company instead listened to feedback and designed a tracker kids actually will enjoy wearing. From colorful bands to a kid-friendly interface, there's a lot to like about the Ace 2.
Withings Move review
Withings Move review
Withings nailed it with the Move hybrid fitness watch. Its stylish good looks and competent fitness tracking won us over. For casual athletes, it's a bargain at $70, but there are a few drawbacks to its budget design.
Xiaomi Mi 9T impressions: Dazzling color and amazing value
Xiaomi Mi 9T impressions: Dazzling color and amazing value
The Xiaomi Mi 9T's stunning color scheme -- where flashes of light dance across the back of the phone -- instantly catch your eye, but it can't quite outshine the astonishing value on display. From the battery to the camera, the Mi 9T impresses at almost every turn and costs less than a Google Pixel 3a.
Visible’s R2 is an acceptable $100 phone on a low-cost network
Visible’s R2 is an acceptable $100 phone on a low-cost network
Visible is one of the most interesting new carriers to pop up over the past few years, but the company doesn't just want to offer up phone service -- it also wants to sell phones. Its first is the Visible R2, a $100 phone made by ZTE. Is it worth your money? We tried it out on Visible's network.
Huawei Mate 20 X 5G hands-on review
Huawei Mate 20 X 5G hands-on review
The Mate 20 X 5G is Huawei’s first mainstream 5G endeavour, and it hasn’t been subtle, as this is a super-sized, super-fast phone that is more tablet than phablet. However, the great design means it’s never ungainly, and the 5G speeds it can achieve are what we want from the next generation mobile network.
Moto E6 hands-on review
Moto E6 hands-on review
Motorola’s latest is the Moto E6, its most affordable phone this year, and a follow-up to the Moto E5 series from 2018. The Moto E6 is unremarkable. It doesn’t have many features worth talking about. Why? Motorola says it focused on improving the fundamentals.
