A new model, the iPhone SE (2022), came out this spring, but if I was in the market for a phone right now, it wouldn’t be my choice for a new device. And the $429 device certainly wouldn’t be my pick for the best cheap phone under $500. Instead, if I were looking to save money on a discounted phone, the one I’d turn to would be the newly unveiled Pixel 6a from Google....
It’s no secret that Pixel 7 phones are on the way. Google took the unusual step of announcing them both during the company’s I/O developer conference back in May, complete with promotional pictures of what to expect including that now-familiar camera visor. But promotional pictures can only get you so far, and now we have a limited hands-on video from Unbox Therapy (opens in new tab) to give us an idea of how the phones will look when they’re released this fall....
Still, I want there to be a Pixel Fold if for no other reason than to give Samsung some competition for the best foldable phones. Right now, that’s an intramural contest at Samsung between the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, so having someone — anyone — try their hand at a foldable phone can only push this category of phones forward. So to me, the question to answer isn’t necessarily “Will Google ever come out with the Pixel Fold?...
Given Google works to make Android friendly for foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, there’s an argument that the search giant doesn’t need to make its own folding phone. But an idealized version of a foldable phone from Google’s perspective is still a tantalizing prospect. And it could mean more competition for the title of best foldable phone, which is always a good thing. (Speaking of competition, here’s how a Google Pixel Fold vs....
Google first teased the Pixel Tablet during its Google I/O 2022 press event and gave us a more detailed look during its October 6 event. Google is pitching the new tablet as a complement to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones and the new Pixel Watch that were launched at the October event. Rumors suggest there could still be a second “Pro” tablet in the works as well....
For instance, right now you can get the GoPro HERO11 Black with a 1-year GoPro subscription for just $347.48 (opens in new tab). That’s one of the best sales we’ve seen from GoPro. The GoPro subscription ($49/year) gives you unlimited storage of full-resolution photos and videos taken with your GoPro. In our GoPro HERO11 Black review, we called the Editor’s Choice camera the best action camera you can buy. Priced at $499 (without the GoPro subscription), it packs a large 1/1....
Halo Infinite is unlike any other Halo game we’ve seen before, and it is a heck of a lot of fun to play. The game takes some time to get going, but switching to an open-world model was clearly the right move. In this Halo Infinite review, we’ll take a look at how the game manages to break the mold and do something new, while also remaining familiar and faithful to the classic Halo titles....
It’s just a pity that the Magic 4 Pro’s one big flaw is night photography, which is something most phones get right these days. Also it’s not coming to the U.S., which is a pity given how well this phone matches up against the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus and the OnePlus 10 Pro, two solid but less interesting handsets. This Honor Magic 4 Pro review finds that it’s a phone worthy of our best Android phones in the U....
Traditional computers and laptops need a lot of cooling to work properly, making heatwaves, like the U.S. and U.K. are experiencing right now, a tricky time for them. This can mean poor performance or even unexpected shutdowns for you as your machine tries to balance power and internal temperature. It also means you may want to consider moving to an alternative device for working when the heat is on, as I did recently with my iPad....

Here, we take you through everything you need to know about cleaning a stainless steel pan and tips to keep it in tip-top shape going forward. Here’s how to clean a stainless steel pan....
While the iPhone’s photo and video prowess has been rapidly increasing with every iteration — including the introduction some time ago of optical image stabilization (or OIS, where the lens can move to counteract vibration) — this is a pretty big feature to add to phone, even for Apple. See, cameras and video cameras are often judged in large part by the stabilization they offer (or don’t), and even some high end cameras still don’t feature image stabilization....
There are many benefits to laying sod. If you’re struggling to get rid of dandelions, a new lawn gives you a fresh, weed-free start. While if you’re really struggling to make your grass greener, laying sod could be the solution you’ve been looking for — you could opt for a new type of grass better suited to your region. Interested, but not sure what to do? Here, we take you through how to lay sod step-by-step, so you can refresh your yard in time for summer....
Knowing how to prune tomato plants properly will help to boost the plants growth and production of juicy tomatoes all year round. Pruning allows all of the stems and leaves to receive sufficient sunlight, so the plant is able to photosynthesize more efficiently. Bear in mind, pruning also depends on the tomato variety. For indeterminate or “vining” varieties, including most cherry tomatoes, pruning dead stems and leaves will ensure that all the nutrients are going to the tomatoes....
Setting up a turntable may sound like a scary prospect, but it can be a fun project that uses a combination of fine adjustments and careful listening to determine optimum performance from your particular record player. The result will be noticeably improved sound — even if it’s an entry-level model with most parameters already set at the factory or audio store. You may be wondering why you need to set up a turntable when a manufacturer has surely spent time designing everything to work as it should....
For instance, research (opens in new tab) shows that 70% of adults use electronic devices in bed or in their bedroom. Scrolling through TikTok or bingeing Netflix shows whilst you’re winding down can reduce the amount of quality sleep you’re able to catch each night. Meanwhile, relying on sleeping pills or alcohol to lull yourself to sleep may leave you feeling worse off the following morning, as well. Thus, getting into a good sleep routine is paramount....

How to save money with Alexa routines Depending on how long you’ve had Alexa speakers and other Alexa compatible smart home devices, you might already know how to create an Alexa smart home routine....
At the very end of last week’s episode, Jimmy noticed that one little thing was out of place. Casimiro, the real Casimiro!, has a cast on his left hand. And that doesn’t match the photos that they had shot. Clearly, Jimmy thought, something was wrong. And he thought it was time to call things off, and postpone their plan to take down Howard Hamlin with the Sandpiper Crossing case. Live to fight another day....
More than 40 games will be featured in the show, which will be hosted by Ashly Burch, the voice of Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West, alongside her game co-star John Macmillan. The games will cover a suite of platforms, from the PS5 and Xbox Series X to the Xbox One, PS4, PC and the Nintendo Switch.

Yes, we’ve had a long winding road to get here, but the Marvel Netflix shows finally hit Disney Plus (back in March 2022). Now dubbed “The Defenders Saga,” these 13 seasons of TV are here … with not a whole lot of urgency to watch right now. Especially as the Marvel Netflix slate isn’t currently available in 4K on Disney Plus. But when you get around to watching the Defenders, you might find yourself where we did (after we changed our Disney Plus settings to show the Marvel Netflix shows)....
No, YouTube doesn’t have its own Apple Watch app yet. But there is a third-party app called WatchTube that opens up YouTube to Apple Watch owners. WatchTube (opens in new tab) is completely free to download on the App Store — you’ll need a watch that’s on watchOS 6 or later — and it’s pretty neat how the app was able to replicate so many of YouTube’s interface features, including Search....
