Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Hands-On: Keeping the Galaxy S21 alive
The Galaxy S20 series was one of Samsung's best-selling phone ranges, and part of that success was down to the Galaxy S20 FE. Dubbed the Fan Edition (or FE for short) – a throwback to the rebuilt Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition – Samsung sold over 10 million Galaxy S20 FE units in the past...
This graphene battery pack is my new favorite portable charger
I love a good portable charger – I spend enough time on the go that keeping all my tech charged is an absolute nightmare. But until now, all battery packs have had one big issue: they just took way too long to charge. In a few years, we've gone from 5W charging in our mobile...

iPad Mini 6 Review: The perfect powerhouse for portable productivity
Small isn’t always better – in fact, we’ve been conditioned to believe that bigger is always better. When people see a bigger screen, they assume a better camera or better photos even if the camera hardware isn’t anywhere near as good. Or when you hear of a higher processor number – or more RAM for...Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Review: It’s so good, I bought two

Instead of just slab phones, the original Fold showed that phones could be so much more, and a year later, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 followed this trend with...
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Ring Case is a $39 must-have if you buy Samsung’s new flip
I’m going to preface this entire article with one necessary statement -- I hate cases. I’ve used the original Galaxy Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 without a case, although I put an Aramid back cover on the latter just for style and a kickstand. My iPhone 12 Pro Max was naked for seven...

For the past two years, I’ve...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Hands-on: Unpacking the future of foldables
Two years after the first Galaxy Fold was launched a second time, Samsung has unveiled the third generation of its folding flagship.
