"They are actually a little bit smaller"

"designed to fit into your ear at a slightly different angle to point the sound more directly into your ear canal."

"the memory foam on the inside has been upgraded so they also feel a little bit different in your ears."

"We didn't get that [LCD in the charging case]"

"but they still have the H2 chip"

"the new Buds look snazzier have upgraded sound and slightly improved performance all around."

"thanks to them being clad in metal, they do look more blade like now."

"I did notice that they fit my ears slightly more comfortably and securely than the Buds 3 Pro"

"I found it slightly harder to open than the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro's case, mainly because I sometimes blindly tried to open it from the wrong side."

"falls short of the AirPods Pro 3... eight hours of battery life on a single charge, which is a bit disappointing"

"While there's no multipoint Bluetooth"

"They feel great in the hands"

"can access many different gaming storefronts"

"let you access Xbox Game Pass even offline"

"the right analog stick is kind of in the way of my thumb"

"It also has two back buttons that I don't like, labeled M1 and M2"

"The M buttons are a little too inward and very flat, meaning I have to stretch my middle finger further than I'd like and then perform this awkward side press"

"what I love about the Switch 2, its display. 7.9 in 1080p. I really appreciate it because I can finally see more of the screen"

"it's got a fast refresh rate"

"I think it's the best display that Nintendo's had on a handheld. Yes, I think it's better than the OLED display."

"It's missing a little bit of that OLED vibrancy, but whatever."

"They do not have analog triggers, but I'm willing to forgive that."

"Right now, it's super promising, but there aren't that many games to take advantage of."

"you can't see what's on my screen right now because of this new privacy display feature."

"It also works whether you're holding your phone vertically or horizontally, which is pretty neat."

"This is actually the thinnest and lightest Ultra phone that Samsung has ever made."

"I hate to break this to you, but there are no magnets within the devices themselves."

"Still a lot of money, but at least it didn't go up."

"one of the best things about the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is that it's keeping that same $1799 price tag as last year."

"the Pixel 10 Pro Fold doesn't feel obtrusively bulky."

"it doesn't take away from how good it feels overall in my hand."

"But thin phone, this is not."

"unlike the Galaxy ZFold 7, you can only have two apps open simultaneously instead of three."

"nowhere near the 100x prores zoom that you'll get on the other Pixel 10 Pro phones."

"stability sounds quite nice right now."

"There are a lot of small improvements that could be quite noticeable"

"which is a considerable upgrade from the 23W on the nine A."

"rather than inheriting the newer G5 seen in the rest of the pixel ten series."

"the Pixel 10A won't feature the Pixel Snap magnets"

"I am surprised that Google won't be selling any of its own cases at launch that include magnets as an alternative"

"The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the same price as last year's phone."

"The screens do get a bit brighter with 3000 nits peak brightness on the cover and internal displays."

"Split screen mode also makes it easier to multitask and quickly adjust app sizes with a tap."

"But still, $1,799 isn't pocket change"

"From the slick design, the vibrant display, and the generally solid cameras, the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL tick most of the boxes I would expect from any top-end phone in 2025."

"The 10 Pro XL's 6.8 in display is bright and vibrant and easily legible under the bright Paris midday sun"

"I was generally really pleased with how well it captured the exposure and colors on the day. On a slightly more overcast day in Edinburgh, though, I did find slightly different results. This shot of this chap having a little snooze is solid with great details and exposure."

"this ultrawide shot of my friend filming has a decent exposure, but the details when you zoom in aren't quite as sharp."

"it's the same thing here with quite a noticeable amount of oversharpening, giving a bit of a crunchy look to the scene, which I just don't really love."

"at 30 times, it fills the frame even more. Although, I don't think it's done a very good job at 30 times. It may even have slightly missed focus cuz it looks quite mushy."

"extensively testing the 10 Pro XL's camera in Paris. Long story short, I'm impressed."

"latest Android 16 software brings a variety of cool new updates."

"new Tensor G5 processor, which Google claims is both faster and more power efficient than the G4"

"Where it didn't fare so well is with this example when I zoomed in to take a picture of a plane going overhead. And that became an odd sort of bundle of sticks with a weird clown nose on the front."

"aren't really that different from the 9 series last year. So, if you've already got a Pixel 9, you certainly don't need to be looking to upgrade here."

"And actually, for a first test shot, I am pretty pleased. Spot-on exposure, great details."

"the phone has done a great job in capturing an even exposure with bright highlights kept under control."

"And the same is true here with a great balance between those bright highlights and the shadow detail."

"Though, to be honest, the camera hardware hasn't really changed much since the previous model."

"turned the vague shot into a weird bundle of sticks with an orange nose cone, which to be honest just looks quite funny."

"it does take a little while to work through all of the different steps. So whether it's something you'd actually want to use when you're quickly shooting out and about, well, that remains to be seen."

"it's still very cool."

"this has a 4.1 in cover screen, which is larger than the last version. So, that should make a lot of functions feel a little bit more seamless here."

"inside, you've got that 6.9 in screen as well. Still feels very nice and normal"

"after you've held the ZFold 7, this just doesn't wow you as much"

"Now, in terms of pricing, you might want to brace yourself. ... the Z Flip 7 costs $1,100."

"it's thin, it's light, and it's got bigger displays. ... this feels impressively thin and light in my hand"

"that wider 6.5 in cover screen finally makes it feel like I'm using a normal phone instead of a weird, clunky, cramped cover screen."

"you can run up to three apps at the same time, which is a great way to take advantage of all that real estate."

"sadly, there is no S Pen support, so you got to take the good with the bad, I guess."

"texting can be pretty tricky on such a wide expanse"

"There were also a few instances where content on Instagram and Tik Tok was weirdly cropped"

"it's one of my favorite phones I've ever used with one big exception."

"it's actually remarkably light for its size,"

"I do really love having that spacious, smooth 120 Hz display without any of the heft."

"Now, what's not so appealing is the price."

"Now, the reality is a thinner phone means some scaledback features, and that includes the camera."

"No telephoto lens means that's all you're getting."

"powerful iPhone 17 Pro"

"the iPhone 17 Pro would be the musclebound T800"

"I think these are more comfortable to hold in hand"

"regular 17 Pro that lost 15%"

"one extra move to get me to my tabs. Not a big fan of that."

"having to take a screenshot to use this feature feels like one step too many."

"it has nearly every spec and feature you could hope for in a Samsung phone even AI"

"the new processor"

"high resolution ultrawide camera"

"worst of which are unreliable"

"the $1,300 price"

"AI can be unreliable ... told me that my photo looks like the Miner Auditorium at the De Young Museum ... this is wrong on so many levels"
