Matic, my current top pick for the best robot vacuum, just got a big update. The unique-looking floor bot now works with Google Home and Apple Home, with support coming through the smart home standard Matter. This enables voice control and smart home integrations, features that have been missing from the robot since launch. Now […]
The first Matter camera is here – sort of. Camera support came to the smart home standard last year, and Aqara’s Camera Hub G350 is the first to support it. The G350, which was announced at CES, launched this week and is a pan-and-tilt indoor security camera with up to 4K video resolution. Today, the […]
Samsung promised “more than a design refresh” for its new top-end Galaxy Buds – it added upgraded woofers for improved, dual-amped hi-fi sound, a new blade design, clearer call performance, and better noise cancellation. Ultimately, while the $249.99 Galaxy Buds 4 aren’t a huge leap forward over the previous model, they keep what was good […]
Not much has changed in the new MacBook Air for 2026: It now has the M5 chip, Wi-Fi 7, and faster storage starting at 512GB instead of 256GB. It’s just as outstanding a computer as last year’s model, even if it’s a shame it’s $100 more expensive. The bigger change has happened to the Air. […]
The Cetra Open Wireless aren’t like most other gaming earbuds. They’re large, with an open-style design that rests just outside of your ears, letting game audio mix with sounds in your environment. These allow for immersion, but only if your environment is quiet enough. And turning them up might let those nearby hear what you’re […]
“Someone might be watching everything I’m doing on my screen,” I tell myself in public. Even when I’m doing nothing of consequence – just making my little Wordle guesses – there’s a sense of unease that stays with me. It’s never bothered me too much, and I generally save the sensitive stuff like banking for […]
I’m not entirely sure why the Pixel 10A exists. Google hasn’t upgraded the chipset, cameras, or battery in the new phone, and the tweaks it’s made elsewhere are minimal at best. The flatter camera island is good, I guess! In one sense this isn’t a big problem: The Pixel 9A is an excellent device, and […]
Recently, Ring ran a Super Bowl ad for its Search Party feature showing how it uses AI to scan footage from Ring cameras and video doorbells to help find lost dogs. It sounds neighborly — until you consider that the same system could theoretically search footage for anything or anyone. Combined with longstanding concerns around […]
While Samsung has treated its Flips and Folds to a few major hardware upgrades over recent years, the Galaxy S flagships have often felt like a long, unbroken line of minor spec refreshes. The S26 and S26 Plus do nothing to change that trend. The Galaxy S26 Ultra at least benefits from the company’s new […]
The first thing most people seem to do when they try out a foldable phone I’m reviewing is look for the crease in the screen. In the case of Oppo’s Find N6, it might take them a while. Oppo claims that the Find N6, launching in full next week on March 17th, has the world’s […]
