"think it's potentially Apple's most disruptive product in the last 10 plus years."

"about as good as M1."

"single core is actually its strongest dimension where it's even stronger. It's closer to M3."

"browsing in Chrome will famously fill up those 8 gigs of RAM a bit faster as you open more tabs."

"as they get older and you start to fill up the SSD, then they tend to chug."

"some barely average stereo speakers,"

"they've added this one massive new feature, the privacy display. Incredibly useful feature."

"unlike that screen protector, this actually blocks all viewing angles, horizontal or vertical off-axis."

"because it's built into the display, you can turn it on for just the pixels you want to when you want to. So maybe only in certain apps."

"your resolution is actually quite literally cut in half and you can actually see it. Like there's blockier edges around text"

"peak brightness is a bit lower... you will actually see it get a little dimmer when you turn the feature on."

"even in regular use, that means this display is slightly worse all the time... half of these pixels now have permanently poor viewing angles."

"I think this one's also shaping up to be pretty good value."

"it is a super thin and decently light all aluminum laptop."

"there's a 1080p webcam up at the top hidden in that bezel. No notch."

"Two USB type-C ports on the lefthand side, not Thunderbolt."

"I would not expect to edit videos or do anything really intensive on this thing."

"the base version with 256 gigs doesn't have Touch ID. It's just a lock button on the keyboard."

"And I think these sound even a little bit better. There's more strong base and low end while still keeping, you know, a totally full mid-range and crisp bright highs"

"And they do seem to get even louder too."

"the new ear tips plus the new angle that they go into your ear makes these the first air pods that have ever stayed in my ears."

"these don't seem to come with a charging cable and that's true. I unbox them. Sure enough, there was no USB type C cable in that box"

"Still no lossless audio to anything not called Vision Pro"

"These are incredible. I think they're better than AirPods Pros."

"They sound incredible."

"it's this cube case with a tinted clear lid and a nice satisfying magnetic slap. I love that"

"The case is not. That is a flaw."

"just without any of the customization from Samsung's app."

"they basically, I think, hit every single one of those things."

"it feels thinner because everything's kind of spread out more, it's bigger."

"it just looks so much better than the original Switch."

"it's not an OLED though, so it doesn't have the perfectly inky blacks"

"My only worry here is actually just durability... wonder how many little kids are gonna bend those pins."

"It's not gonna be the highest fidelity thing ever"

"This is a massive new screen. It's brighter, higher refresh rate, still has decent sized bezels, but generally looks much better up close than the original."

"The Joy-Cons also huge improved full width kickstand even over the Switch OLED."

"The doc does 4K 60 now instead of 1080. It can do HDR output."

"The truth is, the battery life is the only real major weak point I've been able to find with the Switch 2 in my testing."

"But if you really get into a game, like a high-intensity game with high brightness, and just play for a while, you will see the battery percentage plummet fast. Like sometimes dropping 1% literally every 2 minutes. So it'll fly from 100 to zero in like 3 hours."

"So the price tag for the new Switch 2 is $450. So if you remember the first Switch that launched at $300, so it's a 50% increase in price from the last generation."

"nice big 7.9 in screen thin bezels pretty sleek"

"magnetic joycons it's just so satisfying... attaches super super well"

"that's so much faster than before"

"so i'm a little surprised to see so much wiggle"

"game that essentially acts as a tutorial to learn about your switch doesn't come with it it's not free"

"It's been re-engineered, so there are both aesthetic and functional improvements."

"it has this nice smooth motion, a satisfying kind of heavy resistance. It's a nice hinge."

"3,000 nits is the new Max. And it looks really good in basically any conditions."

"I do understand that there are very few people who I can recommend this to."

"It still has that aggressively medium bezel all the way around"

"it still has that very visible crease through the middle that you can easily feel with your finger"

"this one is again for sure more flagship-y than last year"

"It's this new gearless hinge, and because it's much smaller, it makes that left-side bezel much more trim, leaving the outside screen feeling much more just like a regular, normal phone"

"it's a great phone to use closed."

"There's still a somewhat noticeable crease; it's not terrible through the middle, but it's there."

"It's all in a package that's just slightly thicker than last year's."

"it doesn't really do anything that other foldables don't. Like, it's not offering some massive, dramatic improvement."

"I love this design."

"The camera bar is nice for holding the phone."

"Great clicky buttons, great haptics."

"Pixels have never had the biggest numbers or the most bleeding edge hardware."

"they don't have super fast charging."

"it's faster than Pixel 9, but just a slight beat behind the other ultrasonic flagships now."

"this build is even more flagship-y and high-quality than ever before."

"I actually didn't see that coming, but I'm very excited about it."

"the Pro's display is slightly higher resolution and slightly brighter"

"there isn't that big of a difference between the base Pixel and the Pro Pixel to justify the price."

"it actually has a slightly smaller battery, likely to make room for the slightly larger triple cameras."

"I don't think it's going to make some magical leap to being Snapdragon 8 Elite levels of performance"

"I love this design."

"The camera bar is nice for holding the phone."

"Great clicky buttons, great haptics."

"the things that the Pixels of the past have been lacking, this one is still lacking... Pixels have never had the biggest numbers or the most bleeding edge hardware."

"they don't have super fast charging."

"physical SIM card tray is now completely gone... eSIM only... I don't like this at all. Only the carriers win with this."

"I actually do like the Pixel 10s' designs. At this point, the camera bar is pretty iconic, so they're keeping that."

"this build is even more flagship-y and high-quality than ever before."

"It has a nicely upgraded top speaker."

"I don't think it's going to make some magical leap to being Snapdragon 8 Elite levels of performance with this one-generation bump."

"They will be focusing on TPU, AI stuff, on-device models... Now, is that a little bit disappointing? To me, a nerd, yeah, a little bit."

"make the phone just a little bit thicker which completely eliminates the camera bump"

"fits a bigger battery"

"dual cameras are totally flush with the back"

"This one is actually truly effectively basically the same the same phone"

"The phone is the same dimensions, same shape, super safe, super generic, super flat"

"it's still set to 60 Hz by default"

"looks like a good chip"

"it's a little bit thinner now and a little bit less boxy and squared off"

"60 watts on the Ultra"

"Pretty modest hardware changes, I would say"

"Still no magnets"

"still no silicon carbon batteries"

"actual meaningful hardware updates this time"

"it feels like a proper large flagship slab phone when you're using it unfolded"

"everything benefits from it being bigger, watching videos, taking pictures"

"possibly concerning update is they've gone back from a Snapdragon chip to an Exynos chip"

"I just don't think that it's as good as the Snapdragon 8 Elite is right now with the combination of peak performance and power efficiency"

"there are actual meaningful hardware updates this time."

"this is going to be amazing because it's a brand new super thin ultra light foldable phone. Super cool."

"They've made it way thinner and way lighter."

"it's not fully on the level of a slab phone camera system"

"this camera I think now is gonna have to take my trophy for the most I've ever seen a phone rock on a table with no case on it. This one is absolutely diabolical."

"first of all, the smallest deal, they removed S Pen support."

"From the front, it's literally a Galaxy S25 Plus. Same size, 6.7 in display, 1440p, 120 Hz, plenty bright, it's beautiful."

"It's got this ultrasonic fingerprint reader, still super fast."

"the newly updated 1 UI7... mostly like the vertically scrolling app drawer is nice."

"the new extra swipes to get to quick settings is kind of annoying"

"unlike the rest of the S25 lineup, there are no telephoto cameras on this phone."

"you are definitely missing out on the further zoom performance here"

"this is a sleek and modern design. It's impressive."

"camera sort of has this floating island design. It's actually my favorite design in the entire S25 lineup."

"It's much lighter than most flagship phones. So, the official spec on paper is 163 g, which is it's basically the same as the small base S25."

"No telephoto here."

"we're back down to a 3,900 mAh battery... this is like bordering on worryingly small."

"I expect this phone to have worse battery life than all of the rest of the S25s."

"these new Pro phones are thicker than last year? More room inside for bigger batteries and a vapor chamber... this is the most maximalist that an iPhone has ever felt and I like it."

"the telephoto gets a big update. It's now also a 48 megapixel camera... this new one feels like a more natural portrait focal length... all of your zoom shots will have much more detail and much less noise thanks to the sensor being much larger and much higher resolution."

"it's a really nice total package now. Three matching 48 megapixel cameras, all of which are super reliable"

"the point light problem at night when you shoot in the dark and those little flares always show up. They haven't fixed that at all."

"There's a two terabyte iPhone model now. I feel like 8K video is just a flip of a switch away, but not this year."

"ProRes RAW footage... Also, the file sizes are huge."

"So, Apple decided to make a ridiculously thin iPhone... It's thinner than the freaking iPod touch."

"The edges are nice and softly rounded"

"noticeably thinner and lighter than it's been in a long time."

"shiny titanium, which picks up a ton of fingerprints"

"a speaker that small is not going to get as loud, but there's also way less bass. So things are a bit tiny."

"notice all of the audio is coming from one side of the phone. And if you accidentally block that earpiece with your thumb, that's even more annoying."

"hey, they got better zoom"

"That sounds like these Pro phones might actually come with a real substantial battery upgrade from last year, which is again very welcome."

"they're switching back to aluminum in a uni-body form because it's much better thermally."

"really bumming me out that there's no black pro phone"

"this thing is a stunningly, ridiculously thin, 5.6 mm at the thinnest part."

"it is pretty impressive that they're able to make something like this."

"it's pretty stunning in person."

"it's just it's the worst one."

"absolutely does not have room for an advanced thermal solution or any sort of vapor chamber."

"it sounds like this phone could get much hotter and throttle performance much quicker."

"finally gave it a top tier display"

"brighter up to 3000 nits. It looks great outdoors."

"finally has a variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz, which I love"

"really want to be able to record the whole square sensor if I want to, but you can't"

"would have been way more cool if you could continue to move that camera feed around after you record... but you can't"

"USB 2.0 data transfer speeds are still sad"

"every new iPhone across the range now has ProMotion. And it's the same ProMotion, too. It's the adaptive one to 120 Hz. Doesn't seem to be handicapped at all."

"so does the new base storage of 256 gigs. So, those are welcome upgrades."

"I actually do think this is really clever because all these new iPhones have this massively upgraded selfie camera system."

"the rest is mostly the same."

"the design is mostly unchanged other than the new colors. Same screen sizes, same dimensions, same camera bump, same buttons and camera control"

"they also made the bezels a little bit thinner."

"now the screen is 6.9 inches instead of 6.8."

"That new Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip is really good."

"As much as I like boxy though, it is a little bit sharper in some places."

"none of this really makes a huge difference to usability."

"It also doesn't have IP69"
