When most people picture a serious running watch, brands like Garmin and Coros tend to come to mind. Amazfit, not so much. That perception may be shifting, though. The Chinese brand's latest release — the Amazfit Active 3 Premium — is sleek, solidly built, and loaded with tracking features, all for $169.99. This is a
Hands-on testing of the Honor 600 over a full week raises questions about dropping thousands on flagships. This year's Honor 600 lineup includes both standard and Pro models, but availability tilts heavily toward the base Honor 600 over the pricier Pro variant in most markets. Practical experience suggests sticking with the cheaper option makes sense

The price has edged up from the Phone (3a) Pro to $499 or €479. Pre-orders through Nothing's site offer discounts in some regions, potentially matching the predecessor's cost. At half the price
Honor isn't spending any time getting its new Magic 8 Pro ready for its domestic China launch this month, even if it's hard to believe that new flagship phone season has already begun again. My firsthand impressions are based on the pre-production unit that Honor supplied me prior to the launch. Honor's Magic OS 10
Since Google is on its fourth generation of the Pixel Watch, time flies, if you will, and smartwatches are an essential component of our everyday digital environment.

By combining convenience, adjustable design, and health tracking into a single small device, the Band 10 lives up to its marketing slogan, “Fit in Style.”
Ever since they upended the industry by releasing flagship phones that reduced the market share of the iPhone, I have been evaluating OnePlus smartphones. Somewhere, that crispness was lost as OnePlus grew over the years. However, the OnePlus 13s seems like a relaunch, a return to the original OnePlus: community-driven, focused, and straightforward. With its
Admittedly, I made a snap judgment about the Amazfit Bip 6 based on its affordable price. I didn't think it would compete with more expensive smartwatch rivals, much less hold its own at $80. I can tell, however, that it's more than simply a terrific deal after a couple days of testing. The Bip 6
The Garmin Instinct 3, a tough and more reasonably priced version of the well-liked Fenix 8, is the latest in Garmin's series of sports smartwatches to use AMOLED panels.

The OnePlus 13R offers a lot of features at a price that is not as competitive as the brand's original “flagship killers,” but
The UK, Europe, Japan, and India all had access to Nothing's initial phone, which was appropriately dubbed Nothing Phone 1. I felt envious as a tech nerd from the US. Beyond its distinctive style, Nothing's first phone was universally praised as a good gadget at a fair price. Nevertheless, the competition in the Android market
