For nearly a year, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 was one of the best smartwatches, and the overall best smartwatch for Android. Not only was it the first device to launch with the unified version Wear OS, replacing Tizen, but it offered ample health upgrades and design options compared to earlier Galaxy Watch models. How does the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 improve? Or what do the biggest upgrades over the Galaxy Watch 4 include?...
If you’re expecting a revolution in design then you’ll be disappointed as the look of both of them are familiar if you’ve seen the current Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, but there are a few enhancements visible from the outside. For instance, the hinge seems to be a lot less prominent on the Z Fold 4 when folded compared to the Z Fold 3. This looks like it’ll make the phone a fair bit smaller, making it easier to fit into bags and pockets....
The company’s first Eco Remote, introduced at CES last year, provided consumers with a cool new solar-powered charging option. But this year’s Eco Remote sports a truly significant upgrade. By harvesting RF energy from your Wi-Fi router, the remote completely removes the need for any type of traditional batteries. As a matter of fact, the Eco Remote doesn’t even have a battery of any type within its casing. Instead, it contains a capacitor that is capable of storing small amounts of energy that it gathers from any 2....
The weekend after Thanksgiving has long been a popular shopping season here in the United States, but these days the savings start earlier every year and we’re already seeing some of the best Black Friday deals of the season hitting stores. That’s generally good news, but it makes knowing the best time to buy a new graphics card tricky business. To help you make the best decision, let’s look at the reasons why you should and shouldn’t wait for Black Friday to buy a new GPU....
If you can’t find relief from your back pain when lying in bed, it may be time to consider investing in a new bed. So what is the best mattress for back pain? Firm mattresses are often touted as the catch-all solution for sleepers seeking solace from aching backs, but the real answer is more nuanced. Depending on what your exact issues are, a few of the models in our best mattress ranking might do the trick for you....
So, what differentiates this collection from the others? Like Sonic Mania and the Sonic CD remaster, this compilation comes from programmer Christian Whitehead and developer Headcannon. Because of that, the games look fantastic on modern platforms, such as the PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. There are also a number of gameplay enhancements that make the titles easier for modern audiences. Newly created cutscenes for each game also help the collection stand out from previous iterations....
According to Valve (opens in new tab), reviewed games are tested based on their functionality and given a rating of either “Verified, Playable, Unsupported or Unknown." While Valve eventually aims to have these categories displayed on each individual game’s Steam Store Page, this has not yet been added, and at the moment is only accessible via SteamDB. Games that have received a “Verified” status are deemed to “work great on Steam Deck, right out of the box....
Yes, photos of a Stranger Things Monopoly game have been flying around online since April (we’ve seen them on Twitter — but won’t share them here to avoid accidental spoilers) right now. One teases a character’s death, another reveals decisions made by Eleven and the other, well, it’s about Jim Hopper’s time in the Russian prison. But even though the leak happened last month, it’s gotten more attention today via a report from The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab)....
The Surface Laptop 2 I had to test back in 2018 took me through multiple events and trips, allowing me to file copy at speed and just get all manner of tasks done without annoying bundled software or performance issues getting in the way. But laptops have evolved a lot since then, with super slim bezels and interesting designs such as the trackpad-less Dell XPS 13 Plus or the notched display of the MacBook Air M2 (my current go-to laptop)....
Despite its low price, ability to be wall mounted and reliable service, the mesh kit’s two antenna design leads to low throughput throughout. Is it enough or an also-ran? Read on to see how this inexpensive mesh router stacks up against the best mesh Wi-Fi systems. Tenda Nova MW6 review: Pricing and availability The white Tenda Nova MW6 cubes cost $78 for a pair, making them the bargain of our blue light special mesh group; extra units are $45 each....
The Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto made the top of our best air purifiers list for several reasons. First, it delivered a high CADR (clean air delivery rate) — much higher than any other model we tested in fact. It achieved a rating of 353 for smoke, 347 for dust and 380 for pollen; which makes it a great purchase if you suffer from hayfever. As a result, it suits rooms up to 550 square feet....
Most recent consumer devices, however, support only regular Wi-Fi 6, so we’re still seeing new routers come out that don’t do 6e. (Both are part of the 802.11ax protocol, the current standard.) We saw mesh routers, gaming routers and some that bridge the gap between the two styles. Our favorite, however, was a unique gaming router whose antennas twist and pivot on mechanical arms to better focus signals on devices as they move about the house....
Excellent examples such as The Staircase, Making a Murderer and The Jinx have become cultural phenomenons. And new true crime shows are debuting every week on Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Hulu and all the best streaming services; some could even argue there is now too much true crime on TV now. Some recent hits include Bad Vegan and The Tinder Swindler. Here are our top picks for the best true crime documentaries streaming online now....
The best TVs of CES 2022 span all sizes and technologies, from the first 42-inch OLED TV to a 98-inch Mini LED screen under $8,000. MicroLED, QD-OLED, OLED evo and Neo QLED are all represented, making this one of the most competitive roundups of TV innovation we can remember. OLED isn’t the only panel worth getting excited about anymore. All the best TV brands also emphasized smart features and gaming in 2022, making it easier to find content and streamline the experience of navigating gameplay when you hook up your next-gen console....
We’re all dealing with the big twist from this past week’s episode. Soldier Boy has a child he doesn’t know about: Homelander. Yes, Vought put Soldier Boy in a Russian ice bath because they’d already figured out how to make the better Soldier Boy, in Homie himself. After this past week, things became a bit more grim for our antiheroes. Not only are we dealing with the truth about V-24 — that three to five doses can be lethal — but Butcher’s not exactly telling his fellow user Hughie....
I’ve just binge-watched all eight episodes of The Boys season 3, and while this review will be spoiler-free, I can declare that this is the most shocking season of an already eyebrow-raising show to date. Yes, a show that ended its second season by exploding heads with super-powers has many more tricks up its sleeve, as I’ll explain in this The Boys season 3 review. And The Boys’ return is a healthy reminder of why Prime Video is one of the best streaming services....
This comes from developer Steve Troughton-Smith (opens in new tab), after looking through newly committed code for Apple’s open-source WebKit, the engine that Apple developers use to build browsers for iPhones and iPads. Within it, he found references (opens in new tab) to a previously unknown toggable multitasking mode that enables fully-resizable app windows on iPadOS. He compares it to how you can switch Windows 10 or Windows 11 to tablet mode, making the OS easier to use with touch controls....
TechCrunch (opens in new tab), citing sources, says that a Nothing phone could be coming very soon, by the end of next month in fact. The site claims that Nothing has been working on this handset for over a year. Pei has allegedly shown off a prototype to key executives. TechCrunch even acquired a photo of the man meeting with a Qualcomm executive at MWC 2022. The Nothing Phone, depending on the specs, could wind up being a direct challenger to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series (on sale now) and the OnePlus 10 Pro (coming at the end of March)....
So, you’re forgiven for not identifying Harley Quinn with HBO Max, as one of the best DC shows or movies recent history didn’t even debut on the service where it now lives. Originally, Harley Quinn aired on the since-retired DC Universe streaming service, where it won more acclaim than notoriety. Fortunately, it feels like the show’s new home on HBO Max allowed it to get a stronger following, as I know multiple people who care more about Harley Quinn season 3 than any other show this summer....
Update: This TV deal is still in stock as of Nov. 27. Aside from being one of the only legitimately new TV deals ahead of Cyber Monday, the Hisense U6 is notable for being a QLED TV, one of the cheapest available. Being a QLED TV means that the U6 utilizes a quantum dot filter in between the backlight and the screen to enhance color saturation and increase brightness. Another neat feature is that the U6 supports all the major HDR formats, including basic HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR that will make shows and movies look closer to what the director had in mind when you’re watching them....
