The iOS-ification of the Mac Is Almost Complete

If you’re anything like me, you have multiple Apple devices in your home and have become accustomed to seamlessly handing off tasks between them. I can start searching for furniture on my phone and then click Safari to pick up the search on my larger MacBook screen. Or I can send a text on my…

Apple’s Refreshed 27-Inch iMac Looks to Be a Powerhouse and the End of an Era

I haven’t used an iMac in years, but when I unboxed the 2020 refresh of Apple’s 27-inch all-in-one desktop, I admit it: I smiled. It looks just like it always has (or at least the way it has for more than a decade): simple and streamlined, with the same floating aluminum-and-glass design, seriously giant bezels,…

Stadia in 4G is Now in Beta and Should Stay There a While

Earlier this week, Google announced it rolled out a new Stadia Experiment for mobile phones: the ability to play games over Stadia via your mobile network in 4G or 5G, and anyone with an account and the app on their phone can opt-in to try it. It’s another step toward what the real vision of…

The Asus ROG Phone 3 Is a Delightful Affront to Phone Design

A lot of gaming phones fail to differentiate themselves from standard smartphone fare. But that’s not a problem for Asus’ new ROG Phone 3, which has massive specs, in your face RGB lighting, and possibly the most responsive performance I’ve ever experienced in a phone. While I’ve only had the chance to use the phone…

The OnePlus Nord Is Such a Tease

As good as the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are, the OnePlus Nord might be the company’s most exciting phone of the year. Not only does the Nord include a lot of the specs and features we love about the OnePlus 8, but its combination of price and components also represents a return to…

The $100 Ad-Free Kobo Nia Could Be Your Ticket to Ditching the Kindle

If you’re in the market to buy an ereader in North America, Amazon’s Kindle and Rakuten’s Kobo are really the only two options if you want access to a well-stocked ebook store. Today the latter revealed its alternative to the current cheapest Kindle model with the new $100 Kobo Nia, which includes a high-res display,…

Motorola Edge+: Endless Edge Screen and a Goddamn Headphone Jack for Less Than Samsung’s Best

It’s been almost three years since Motorola released anything you could really consider a flagship phone (and that’s including its $1,500 bendy-screen Razr reboot). But now with the new Edge+, Motorola is getting back in the high-end handset game with practically all the features people expect in a premium device, for a somewhat reasonable price.…

Montblanc Wants to Entice You With $595 Smart Headphones

Earlier this week, Montblanc announced its expensive-as-hell Android smartwatch, the $1,170 Summit 2+ —with cellular connectivity, as a treat. Now the company is following that up with plush, noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones that seem like a bargain by comparison, at $595. Like the Summit 2+, the Montblanc Smart Headphones clearly have a specific type of buyer…

Sennheiser’s New Wireless Earbuds Up the Ante with Active Noise Cancellation

Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless earbuds delivered one of the best audio experiences around when they debuted. But that was 2018. The competition to offer a premium audio experience in a pint-sized, long-lasting package has increased exponentially since in the year and a half since, with even Apple leveling up with active noise cancellation and sweat…

Montblanc Would Like You to Pay $1,170 for Its New LTE Smartwatch

When Montblanc launched its Summit 2 smartwatch two years ago, the pricey device was notable for being one of the only Wear OS watches around with the next-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chip, which offered better performance than past Android watches. But the Summit 2 cost a whopping $995. Now Montblanc is back with the…

I Can’t Afford Dyson’s $500 Cordless Flatiron, But It’s Kind of Amazing

I never know what to do with my hair, and boy oh boy have I made countless mistakes using flat irons. I’ve burned my hair, fingers, and other parts of my body with my clumsiness. When my budget for Japanese straight perms ran out, I went through periods of lopping off my mane entirely. Unfortunately,…

The Oppo Find X2 Takes One of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra’s Best Features and Does It Better

Samsung just raised the bar for high refresh rate screens on phones to 120Hz with the Galaxy S20 line, but now, Oppo may have just one-upped Samsung with the Find X2. Available as two slightly different models—the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro—where Oppo has outdone Samsung is by giving the Find X2 a 6.7-inch…

There are three concepts total, each taking a different approach to the folding phone challenge.…

Naturalists carry a lot of expensive toys out into the wilderness. We’ve got our binoculars to see the details and field marks of distant animals. We carry bulky DSLR cameras with telephoto lenses in case any photo ops present themselves, or in case we stumble upon something rare. Sometimes we carry a portable spotting scope…

AT&T TV Is a Smart Idea Hampered by an Obscene Price

Last month, Gizmodo attended a press briefing for a new, soon-to-release streaming service from AT&T. No, not its forthcoming HBO Max service, or AT&T TV Now service (formerly DirecTV Now). This one would be a separate live TV streaming service called AT&T TV—a service primarily powered by Google. It looked neat during the demo in…

The Dual-Screen LG V60 Might Be the Sleeper Deal of the Season

While a lot of other phone makers are trying to figure how to get in on the foldable trend, it seems LG isn’t quite ready to try its hand just yet. At least not in the same way. So like last year’s G8X, the new LG V60 is getting dual screens instead of a single…

Samsung believes deeply in the future of foldable phones, but its first attempt, last year’s Galaxy Fold, was a complete shitshow.
