Samsung’s flagship phone often gets the most attention, but the company’s most successful smartphones are the ones that cost less than half that price.

While US-trade restrictions hamper Huawei’s smartphone aspirations in Western markets, the ace up the sleeve is undoubtedly it’s growing wearable selection — of which the Watch GT 2e is another fantastic addition.
There are very few smartphones under $100 that we would actually recommend, but the Nokia 1.3 is one of our selected few.
When it comes to looks, performance, and just overall quality, budget smartphones have come a long way. LG’s Stylo lineup has proved very popular in the affordable market, but is the new LG Stylo 6 still worthwhile? Well, it hits two of the three checkboxes mentioned above. Let’s talk.
Streaming has taken over entertainment for millions of people, but when it comes to the live TV experience, that transition has changed a lot. With the TiVo Stream 4K, the company tries to deliver a product that appeases the typical streamer, but also the cord cutter. Here’s what you need to know if you’re in the market.
The lack of MWC 2020 didn’t dull the release schedule for many manufacturers, including Nokia, as the firm announced the Nokia 5.3 alongside the Nokia 8.3 5G in late March.
Affordable smartphones have come a long way, and the TCL 10L is yet another testament to that statement.
When you think of Chrome OS, you probably think of cheap laptops. For the past few years, though, Google has been working to make Chrome OS better for more expensive machines and, perhaps more importantly, for tablets. The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet looks on paper like it would be the first good Chrome OS tablet, but does it live up? I’ve spent the past week finding out.
Often when you think about truly wireless earbuds, the first thought is convenience or features at the expense of sound quality or battery life. With the Jabra Elite Active 75t, that formula is flipped on its head completely. And you know what? They’re pretty great.
TCL might be better known for making TVs or selling rebranded devices with the Blackberry or Alcatel logo, but now they are hoping to take on the mid-range with their own 10 Pro.
There’s a Google Assistant speaker at this point in every shape and size, and to suit every need or price. Back at CES, Belkin showed me its new Soundform Elite Assistant speaker, the very first one to include wireless charging built-in. Now, I’ve spent the past couple of months using it, and as great as it is, I have a tough time figuring out who it’s for. Let’s talk.
During the most recent Stadia Connect, Google showed off three new First on Stadia titles, including Embr, a game about firefighters being an app-based service instead of a public offering. I got a chance to play and review Embr over the weekend, and it’s genuinely a fun game with a few caveats from being an “Early Access” release.
Motorola’s Moto G series is the company’s most popular smartphone lineup and, really, that’s for good reason. A few years ago, any “budget” smartphone was pretty awful, but Motorola fixed that by making smart choices in its cuts and delivering a software experience that was nothing short of excellent. Now, in 2020, Motorola has ditched the numbers and delivered the Moto G Stylus and Moto G Power. Are they worth your attention? I’ve spent a few days trying to answer that question.
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z might not be at the top of most shopping lists when you’re in the market for a pair of wireless earbuds, mainly due to that extra tether.
Straight up, the 2020 iPhone SE is a good phone. It probably won’t replace the phone in your pocket unless you happen to own a really old device, but it really is impressive — even if it does run iOS.
Alternatives to traditional cable have become more and more popular over the past several years, with Sling TV being one of the most popular options for getting live TV over the internet. If you’ve gone all-in on Sling, the company’s AirTV Mini might be the perfect streaming dongle for you. Here’s what you need to know.

It’s been around 3 years since Apple first launched its AirPods, the truly wireless earbuds that changed the game around wireless audio. In 2020, the market is flooded with hundreds of different options and, finally, Google is getting in on the game. After sweeping the first generation under the rug, the new Pixel Buds are finally here and, I’ve gotta tell you, they’re pretty sweet.
So far, Google Stadia’s cloud platform has been used mainly for online shooters or single-player adventures, but a few months into its life, the platform is adding new experiences for everyone to enjoy. For months, I’ve been waiting for Get Packed to arrive, and I’m happy to report that the game is just as good as I hoped. Let’s dig in.
By most metrics, people have been pretty harsh on the Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL, especially when you consider that neither phone is actually “bad.”
The OnePlus 8 Pro is the culmination of years of hardware and software decisions that might not have come to fruition if the BBK-owned firm simply disregarded the input of its ravenous fanbase.
Perhaps one of the most popular third-party smartphone case makers is Spigen, thanks to a solid lineup of affordable cases for almost every major smartphone. That same lineup is available for Samsung’s Galaxy S20 lineup, and I’m here to tell you that a Spigen case is just as good as ever.
There are hundreds of case options for Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series, but often, they all feel like the same thing with a different coat of paint.
