Apple Watch Series 10 Review – Redesign, AI, and Double the Power in 2025

Image
  Overview Marking the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch, the Series 10 introduces a fresh design , AI-powered health tracking , and performance boosts that elevate it beyond just a fitness accessory. Available in 41mm and 45mm sizes , the Series 10 sports a thinner frame, edge-to-edge display, and a new Apple S10 SiP chip designed for AI and energy efficiency. But is the upgrade meaningful if you already own a Series 8 or 9? Apple's anniversary product, the Watch Series 10, focuses on the most important aspect of a smartwatch. The display! It is central to everything we do on a smartwatch, from checking notifications to quickly glancing time. Apple has fit in the largest and most advanced display ever on an Apple Watch. However, coming from  Apple Watch Series 9 , it took me some time to notice the differences. A bigger display that slightly wraps around corners looks better and chunkier than Series 9, for sure. The Series 10 also packs the brightest display we have s...

Samsung Galaxy A56 review

Image
  Introduction  Samsung's popular Galaxy A56 mid-range smartphone is here, and it brings some notable upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy A55, without going up the price ladder. In fact, someone might even argue that the A56 brings better value per dollar compared to the vanilla Galaxy S24 and S25. This year, the Galaxy A56's display has grown from 6.6" to 6.7" without getting bulkier. Samsung managed to fit in a larger panel by trimming the bezels without making the chassis noticeably bigger. Quite the opposite, actually. The A56 is now lighter and thinner. The display supposedly also gets brighter too. The device rocks Samsung's relatively new Exynos 1580 chipset, which we haven't seen in action elsewhere yet. Samsung Galaxy A56 specs at a glance: Body:  162.2x77.5x7.4mm, 198g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus+), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus+), aluminum frame; IP67 dust/water resistant (up to 1m for 30 min). Display:  6.70" Super AMOLED, 120H...

Motorola Razr 60 Ultra review

Image
  Introduction The iconic Razr is back with the latest addition to the revitalized series - Razr 60 Ultra. It's a flip foldable phone, duh, with a super compact body, an impressively fast 165Hz Dolby Vision screen, and the cream of the crop Snapdragon 8 Elite platform. The new model brings spot-on improvements over the Razr 50 Ultra - higher screen resolution, flagship chipset, an ultrawide camera with macro capabilities, and a larger battery. The Razr 60 Ultra is identical to the Motorola Razr Ultra for North America. Our review is based on the Razr 60 Ultra but most review findings should be applicable to the Razr Ultra as well. The Motorola Razr 60 Ultra is built around a foldable 7.0-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with 1224x2992 pixels, 165Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, and Dolby Vision and HDR10 certifications. The updated screen resolution is a welcome improvement over the 1,080p on the Razr 50 Ultra. The cover screen, on the other hand, remains the same - a 4-inch 1080p LTPO ...
