Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Review: A flipping fantastic foldable for everyone
Galaxy Fold 4 brings a few small improvements in key ways. The result is a fantastic foldable that everyone should buy. Here's our review!
Over the last four years, the foldable smartphone market has gone from almost being dead on arrival thanks to the original launch of the Galaxy Fold, to a lineup that’s captivated the imagination of millions of customers globally.

While there are a lot of choices when it comes to good smartphones, the choices are far slimmer when it comes to wearables, and even slimmer when you consider compatibility with your smartphone of choice.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Review: A phenomenal 5-star smartphone
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is absolutely fabulous, bringing the very best of Samsung in all areas of the phone experience. Here's our review of the Snapdragon-powered version.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is Samsung’s newest flagship, but it’s more representative of the Galaxy Note than it is of the Galaxy S lineup. In many ways, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the device that any Galaxy Note fan has been waiting for as it combines the very best of Samsung’s traditional smartphone lineup into a device that has it all. And as Samsung has confirmed, moving forward, the Note line will be represented by the S Ultra line, and that makes a lot of sense.
The Galaxy Tab S8 is so popular, Samsung is pausing pre-orders in the US
The Galaxy S22 series may have been the star of Unpacked, but the Galaxy Tab S8 series is fast on its heels. Demand is so great that Samsung has had to pause pre-orders – here's why!
Samsung kicked off their 2022 lineup earlier this week with the launch of the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, Galaxy S22 Ultra, and the new Galaxy Tab S8 series, which features an Ultra tablet for the first time ever. Naturally, the phones have captured most of the attention and the Galaxy Tab S8 series was for those few who want an Android tablet, right? Wrong.
This graphene battery pack is my new favorite portable charger
The Elecjet Apollo Ultra is a graphene powered battery that charges at 5 times other portable chargers and is now my favorite power bank!
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 devices to over 100W in some phones. While all smartphones now include some form of fast charging, and battery packs themselves support fast charging output, this technology never really transitioned to charging the things that keep our tech charged on the go. What good is a battery pack that takes hours to charge, only to deplete with a few charges of your mobile device? This is where Elecjet enters the conversation with the Apollo Ultra graphene battery pack.

Apple Watch Series 7 Review: Bigger screen, better battery and brilliant experience
The Apple Watch 7 is an incremental upgrade to the previous version, but the product itself manages to stay miles ahead of the competition.
The launch of the iPhone 13 series also saw the launch of the Apple Watch Series 7, even though it wasn’t available to buy up until last month. The Apple Watch is already so far ahead of any notable competition that it has entered the phase where the changes between generations are few and far between and the Apple Watch Series 7 is no different.
iPhone 13 Mini Review: The best small phone ever made
Big isn't always better and small can be mighty. Here's our iPhone 13 Mini review – why this is the best small phone ever made!
Last month’s Apple event taught us one simple thing: small is undoubtedly mighty and the iPad Mini 6, iPhone 13 Mini, and iPhone 13 Pro all follow the same model of offering the same key experience as their bigger counterparts, in a smaller more compact form factor.
iPad Mini 6 Review: The perfect powerhouse for portable productivity
When Apple focuses on small, what happens? The best iPad ever released, and a portable productivity powerhouse. Here's our iPad Mini 6 review!
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 example – it’s easy to assume that this directly translates to better. So bigger, equals better, right?
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Review: It's so good, I bought two
Galaxy Z Flip 3 only just went official but we've been using one for 48 hours. Here's the first installment of our ongoing Z Flip 3 reviews!
When Samsung launched the original Galaxy Fold back in 2019, I fell in love immediately. It redefined the entire way I thought about smartphones and technology. 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 a host of upgrades.
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Ring Case is a $39 must-have if you buy Samsung's new flip
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Ring Case is a case made by Samsung for $39. After 5 days using it, here's why it's a must-have for all Z Flip 3 owners.
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 months until I had to go to the Apple Store after dropping it one too many times. I hate cases, which makes this article all the more stranger.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Review (Part 1) - The future of technology, unfolding under our very eyes
The next generation of foldables has arrived and we've spent a week with them. Here's the first part of our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 review!
My favorite time of year is around August or September. It’s when I do all my tech shopping – at least for mobile that is – and somewhat coincidentally, it’s also when Samsung unveils the Galaxy Note, and/or more recently, the next generation of the Galaxy Z Fold range. For the past two years, I’ve bought the Galaxy Fold and for the years before it, the Galaxy Note. This year, we’ve got the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3, the latter of which is shaping up to be my favorite phone of the year (read our ongoing Galaxy Z Flip 3 review for more)!
