The entire appeal of a dumb phone is that it leaves the noise behind, no apps, no feeds, no assistant nagging for your attention. So it’s a little strange that HMD’s four newest Nokia feature phones ship with a dedicated AI button sitting right in the middle of the keypad. Price: TBD Where to Buy:

A year ago, I held the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra and wrote something I don’t say often about a phone: it made me excited about mobile photography again. The 1-inch sensor, the 9.4x mechanical zoom lens with that satisfying dual-lens click, the golden camera accents that told everyone nearby you were carrying something special. It

Casio has two very different G-SHOCK releases landing this July, and both lean hard on nostalgia. The first is a third collaboration with the Mother video game series, a sunflower-yellow DW-5600 tied to the 20th anniversary of Mother 3.

A defense pen only earns its place if you actually carry it, and the metal ones lose that test fast. They weigh down a pocket, they set off scanners, and they end up in a drawer within a week. CRKT’s Williams Defense Pen in green Grivory takes the opposite route with a 0.80 ounce polymer

Better on-camera lighting usually starts with a single premium panel, and that panel often turns out to work in only one spot. A fixed light mounted above a desk can look excellent on a scheduled video call, but it does little for a product photo shot from overhead, a clip recorded across the room, or

Kodak is having a moment. The Charmera keychain camera sold out in a day and turned a $30 blind box into a viral hit. All that nostalgia has people asking what else the brand makes, and if what you really want is a photo you can hold, the answer is the KODAK Mini Shot 2

Own a 1080p TV? Then the Xiaomi TV Stick HD (2nd Gen) is the cheapest sane way onto Google TV, at £39.99 in the UK (about $53 once converted). It isn’t a 4K box, and that’s deliberate, since Xiaomi already sells a pricier TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen) for Ultra HD screens. This one’s built

Most gaming earbuds make you pick a side. You either get the low-latency dongle that only talks to one device, or you get Bluetooth that works everywhere and adds enough lag to cost you a round. Razer’s new Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed is built to stop forcing that choice, and it does it at $99.99.

Picture a seabird diving into a lake, chasing fish underwater, then bursting back into the sky without breaking stride. Engineers at MIT and EPFL just built a robot that swims and flies just like that, and it weighs less than a can of soda. No propellers, no legs, no folding tricks, it swims, dives, and

The Anker Nano MagSafe 5K Qi2 at $49.99 is the ultra-slim power bank most people should buy. It’s thinner than your phone case, charges at full Qi2 15W speed, and doesn’t force you to choose between slimness and actual battery capacity. But the category has shifted fast. Denser battery chemistry means the old trade-off between

LG’s rolling screen finally grew up. The new StanbyME 2 Max stretches the movable display to 32 inches and pushes it to 4K, and that one spec jump changes what the thing is for. The last StanbyME asked you to accept a soft 27-inch QHD panel as the price of a screen you could wheel

Skip the ten in one hype. The real reason to look at the GIRIAITUS EDC Pry Bar Multitool is one feature, a bi-directional ratchet screwdriver built into a flat pocket pry bar, then backed by wrenches, a crowbar edge, openers, and a pen that never runs dry. At roughly $35 it’s an easy yes for
