Full-frame kits get left at home because of size. Viltrox’s new AF 26mm F2.8 EVO aims straight at that problem, and it keeps a clicked aperture ring and a separate focus ring while doing it. The Sony E version measures about 23.8mm long, per Viltrox. Price: $299 Where to Buy: Sony Viltrox showed both full-frame […]

Wireless gaming keyboards have been making the same trade for years: pick compact and live in a crowded radio neighborhood, or keep the cable and stop thinking about it. Ultra-Wideband changes the math. It runs on short pulses across a wide frequency range, separate from the Bluetooth headsets and Wi-Fi routers that chip away at

Budget folding knives usually show you where the money went. You get a molded nylon handle instead of milled metal, a coated blade instead of a polished one, and a house brand steel instead of a name you know. The black Artisan Cutlery Revel 1867P has all three, and it still comes with a button

Razer’s new Seiren V3 Chroma 32-Bit DSP starts at $119.99, which is $10 under the starting price of the Seiren V3 Chroma it upgrades. That reads like a bargain until you check what the older mic actually sells for, which is closer to $88 to $100 at Best Buy, Newegg, and other retailers. The upgrade

Most limited edition watches are a color swap and a numbered caseback. You pay the premium for scarcity, not for anything your fingers can actually detect, and the material underneath stays identical to the model sitting next to it in the case. Price: $2,915 Where to Buy: Citizen Citizen’s newest ATTESA takes a stranger route.

OKNIFE prices the B1 Lightning Strike titanium EDC pen at $59.99, which is real money for a ballpoint. The company’s argument is that you’re paying for a machined grade 5 titanium body, a clip that deploys the refill in place of a bolt action, and a fidget spinner built into the cap. Whether that adds

Anbernic keeps circling the same idea: take the Game Boy Advance SP shape and get it right. The RG35XXSP had the look but skipped analog sticks. The RG34XXSP added sticks that not every buyer in this shape was asking for. Now the newly revealed RG SP throws the sticks out again and leans all the

Most fitness wearables were designed around cardio. The step counts, the heart rate curves, the VO2 max estimates: all of it was built to make sense of movement that looks like movement. Lifting doesn’t look like movement to a gyroscope. It looks like a person standing still, occasionally lurching, and the software treats it accordingly.

Pete’s Pirate Life is Peter McKinnon’s EDC label. It put its name on another CIVIVI folder. The Iron Tide is the simplest thing that partnership has produced yet.

Casio has listed a new orange DW-6900 on its US site, the DW6900MO26-4, a limited collaboration with Larry June’s Midnight Organic tagged as a July 2026 release at $170. That number is the first thing worth arguing about, because the standard DW6900-1V has sat at $99.95 for years. Price: $170 Where to Buy: Casio You’re

Leatherman rolled out the ninth release in its Garage series, and this one skips brute force for precision.

MagicX wants you excited about a screen and patient about everything else. The Mini Dream broke cover on July 23, 2026 as the company’s first handheld built around a custom 3.3-inch OLED, and that panel is the entire reason anyone’s paying attention. Price starts at $80. The catch shows up fast. That tension sits right

Most of Kizer’s catalog folds. The Finch refuses to, and that one decision changes how it carries, feels, and earns pocket space. Designed by Vincent Rizzo, it slips a 3.09-inch blade into a fixed-blade body that runs 6.34 inches overall and stays under three ounces, light enough to ride a neck cord without tugging your

Timex is growing its outdoor-focused Expedition Capstone line, and for the first time, a chronograph function is part of the mix, announced last June. The Expedition name has long been Timex’s shorthand for rugged, affordable field watches, and Capstone is the more style-forward branch of that family, built around a distinctive tonneau case rather than

Most cheap Bluetooth speakers ask you to accept a compromise you can feel within a week. The battery fades, the plastic creaks, and the first splash at the pool ends the relationship for good. Spend more and you fix those problems, or so the pricing tells you. Soundcore Select 4 Go Bluetooth Shower Speaker by

I ran Geekbench 7 on my Galaxy Z Fold8 and got 2,262 single-core and 6,317 multi-core. It’s one initial run rather than a verdict on the phone, but it lands well behind a public Galaxy S26 Ultra result that identifies the same Qualcomm SM8850 platform: 2,966 single-core and 10,196 multi-core.

For years, FX3 shooters wanted two things Sony kept locked inside its pricier cinema cameras: internal RAW and open gate. On July 22, Sony finally handed both over. The new FX5 is a full-frame Cinema Line camera that sits above the FX3 and below the FX6, and it does something no FX body has done
