Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro

Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro Review

How does adding another display panel to a Wear OS smartwatch end up increasing the battery life? Amazingly, that’s what Mobvoi has achieved with the Ticwatch Pro, which has an OLED panel and an LCD panel to maximise the life out of the watch’s battery. Does it work? We’ve been wearing it to find out.
lg fortune 2

LG Fortune 2 review

The LG Fortune 2 is a smartphone only available on Cricket Wireless in the U.S. What’s so special about it? It costs $100. But a low price tag doesn’t mean it should be an instant buy. There are a lot of compromises, and we take a closer look in our review.

Cat S61 review

How many handy functions can you pack into a rugged Android smartphone? Find out in our Cat S61 review as we take the latest release from the Bullitt Group for a test drive and see how it measures up as a digital toolbox and as a phone. There’s thermal imaging, laser measurement, air quality sensing, and more.
moto e5 plus review hands on 9

Moto E5 Plus review

The Moto E5 Plus features a refined design, larger display, updated processor, and the same absolutely enormous 5,000mAh battery. Are the new features to justify it nearly $300 price tag on Sprint? The Moto E5 Supra -- the same phone -- costs $180 on Cricket Wireless. Here’s our Moto E5 Plus review.
Casio G-Shock GBA-800

Casio G-Shock GBA-800 review

Is there still a place for a simple activity tracker? Casio has shown there is, provided it looks nothing like a basic fitness band at all. This is the GBA-800, a watch in the classic G-Shock style with activity tracking technology inside. We’ve been wearing it.
land rover explore

Getting lost (and found) with a Land Rover phone built for the woods

No-one wants to get lost in the wilderness, but with a regular smartphone by your side for navigation and safety, you’re leaving things to chance. Not so with the Land Rover Explore, a highly capable outdoor phone with better GPS, a big battery, and the right software. Did we get lost when we tried it out?
best smartphones blackberry key2 hands on feat

BlackBerry Key2 review

The KeyOne, which launched last year, rode a wave of nostalgia, but it’s back to business for BlackBerry. Its latest phone is the BlackBerry Key2, which succeeds its predecessor in every way -- especially with the keyboard, which is now practically perfect.
sony xperia xz2

Sony Xperia XZ2 review

Sony’s current flagship smartphone is the Xperia XZ2. It costs $800, and it’s quite comparable to Samsung’s Galaxy S9 in many ways. Does that mean you should drop your hard-earned money on it? It’s a tough question, as the XZ2 checks off a lot of boxes. We find the answer in our review.
polar m430 review rock feat

Polar M430 review

Primogenitor of the heart rate sensor, Polar has fallen behind other fitness tracking companies like Fitbit and Garmin in recent years. With waterproofing and a large suite of fitness tracking tools, does the $200 Polar M430 have enough to leverage Polar's strengths for a new market?
moto g6 play

Moto G6 Play review

For years, Motorola G-series phones have been the go-to choice for budget phones. This year's Moto G6 Play is Motorola's newest budget offering, featuring an all new design and upgraded specs. In the fiercely competitive budget phone market, are these changes enough for the G6 Play to keep the crown?
nokia 7 plus review full 14

Nokia 7 Plus review

The best decision Nokia could have made was to adopt Android One as its operating system this year, and the Nokia 7 Plus is a high-spec, low-cost phone which showcases the difference a great operating system can make. We’ve been using the phone to find out if the rest is worth your time.
Unihertz Atom Review

Unihertz Atom review

Frustrated with how large smartphones have become? Wish you could wrap your hand around your phone easily? We checked out the Unihertz Atom, a smartphone that brings mid-range phone specs and incredible battery life in a tiny package that's smaller than the first-generation iPhone.
Casio GPW-B1000 Rangeman

Casio GPR-B1000 Rangeman hands-on review

Casio’s latest Master of G series watch is the GPR-B1000 Rangeman, which has built-in GPS and solar charging, plus smart features and mapping through an app on your phone. It’s also the best looking version yet, and we’ve tried it out.
posche design huawei mate rs back

Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS review

When Porsche Design was tasked with beautifying the P20 Pro, it came up with this, the Mate RS. It’s very pretty, and does everything the P20 Pro does; but comes with some superfluous tech you really don’t want. Oh, and a massive price tag. Is it worth the extra? Here’s our Porsche Design Mate RS review.
Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro Full Review

Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro review

Huawei’s newest big-screen tablet is a terrible temptation. Its screen is so gorgeous, and the clever design completely lends itself to a device to binge-watch your favorite show. However, when you’ve finished, what else can it do? Does a high-end tablet still have a place in the world now our phones are so capable? We find out.
Kobo Clara HD review

Kobo Clara HD review

Nearly eight years to the day after the first Kobo was released, Rakuten Kobo announced its newest ebook reader, the Kobo Clara HD. The device is meant to compete with the likes of Amazon's wildly-popular Kindle Paperwhite. And compete it does. The Kobo Clara HD is the best budget ebook reader available.
Alcatel 3V review

Alcatel 3V review

The Alcatel 3V offers an impressive package at a price that undercuts the competition. Just $150 buys you a 6-inch screen, a dual camera, a big battery, and a modern look -- but there must be some compromises, right? Learn exactly what this phone has to offer in our Alcatel 3V review.
moto g6 review hands on 16

Moto G6 review

The Moto G6 is Motorola’s latest low-cost phone that looks and feels like it should cost a lot more than it does. A glass body, dual-lens camera, and a big screen make it tempting, but should you buy one? We’ve been trying it out to see if it’s more than just a pretty face.
Moto G6 Plus Review

Moto G6 Plus review

Motorola has ruled the budget roost with its G series for a few years now, but we are seeing more cheap phones worth buying coming onto the market. In our Moto G6 Plus review, we examine whether the fresh design, dual-lens camera, and all the extras are enough for the Moto G6 Plus to claim top spot again.
Nokia 6.1 smartphone

Nokia 6.1 review

Months after showing off the Nokia 6 at Mobile World Congress, HMD has brought it to the U.S. under a new name -- the Nokia 6.1. For its $270 price tag, the Nokia 6.1 offers exceptional value. Both beautiful and powerful, the Nokia 6.1 is the latest budget phone to beat.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S review

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S review

If you’re after a beautifully designed phone with plenty of power under the hood, then Xiaomi’s latest might just have caught your eye. In this Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S review we put it through its paces and find out where the Chinese manufacturer has compromised. If you’re thinking about buying it, you must read this first.
tag heuer connected modular 41 review feat

Tag Heuer Connected Modular 41 review

Luxury smartwatches have been somewhat disappointing so far, with high prices, massive cases, and not a lot of reasons to buy one. Tag Heuer’s Connected Modular 41 overcomes previous problems to increase the desirability, but it’s still pricey compared to most others. We’ve been wearing one to see if it’s worth the extra.
honor 10 review huawei feat

Honor 10 review

Erupting in a kaleidoscope of color, the glass-bodied Honor 10 costs way less than you’d expect, and still has the excellent camera we’ve come to expect from the company. We’ve had it in our hands to see if it can live up to those initially very strong impressions. Here’s our Honor 10 review.
Suunto 3 Fitness Black Review

Suunto 3 Fitness Review

To stay relevant, fitness tracker brands need an ace in the hole. For the new Suunto 3 Fitness, this comes in the form of Adaptive Training Guidance. A feature designed to put a personal trainer on your wrist and develop custom weekly workout plans – and it’s as impressive as it is innovative.
Kate Spade Scallop Touchscreen review

Kate Spade Scallop Touchscreen review

The Kate Spade Scallop is Kate Spade’s first fully-touchscreen smartwatch for women. It runs Wear OS, has a large 1.9-inch display, and is extremely customizable. But at $295, it’s pricier than other women’s smartwatches on the market. We take a closer look to see if this watch is worth the high price tag.
Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream Review

Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream review

Mobile virtual reality has a lot of problems. You need to use your phone, which can overheat and eat up your battery life. Standalone VR is the future, and the latest entry is Lenovo and Google’s wireless Mirage Solo with Daydream. It offers six degrees of freedom.
Mobvoi Ticwatch E Review

Mobvoi Ticwatch E review

At just $160, Mobvoi’s Ticwatch E is one of the cheapest full touchscreen smartwatches you can buy, and it hasn’t skimped on the feature list, offering both a heart-rate sensor and GPS. This elevates it beyond watches that cost twice as much. We’ve worn one to see if the low price means corners have been cut elsewhere.
sony xperia xa2 ultra review feat

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review

Sony may be embracing a new design, but that doesn’t mean it’s not selling a phone with an older design theme. The mid-range Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra costs $450, and a lot of compromises, which is unusual for a mid-range smartphone. Is it worth buying? Find out in our Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review.
misfit path review feat

Misfit Path review

The Misfit Path is Misfit’s smallest hybrid smartwatch, yet. But don’t let its size fool you – it comes packed with tons of smartwatch features all wrapped into a modern and chic timepiece. You can receive notification alerts, track your activity, and more, all for an affordable price.
garmin forerunner 645 music review feat

Garmin Forerunner 645 Music review

Garmin’s latest wearable, the Forerunner 645 Music, is a full-featured fitness tracker that doubles as an impressive smartwatch. Featuring offline music streaming and storage, as well as the ability to make contactless payments, it’s a true jack-of-all-trades.

Huawei P20 Pro review

The Huawei P20 Pro proves three isn’t always a crowd with its innovative triple-lens camera system, that turns out to be something way more than a gimmick. It’s also just one aspect of this brilliant new smartphone, that takes the fight for Android phone supremacy right to Samsung and Google’s door.
marc jacobs riley hybrid review

Marc Jacobs Riley Hybrid Smartwatch review

Apple iPad (2018) review

Whether you need a large-screen device for work or play, your best option is Apple’s new iPad. It has a good-looking screen, great battery life, fluid software with multi-tasking features, and it works with the fantastically-precise Apple Pencil. For $330, it’s a steal.
