Both offer great tracking experiences, but the ScanWatch 2 does enough to justify the price

It’s a combination that works well in a more formal setting or if you just prefer the look of an old-school watch on your wrist.

Onyx Boox Page review: More Oasis than mirage
It might look like a Kindle, but the missing store holds it back
The Onyx Boox Page reminds me of the Atari Jaguar video game console from the 90s. It featured great hardware and a lot of cool capabilities, but without great games to play — it was a tough sell.
iPhone 15 and USB-C: Why Apple is now making the change
Apple has hung onto Lightning cables for over a decade but times are changing
With the iPhone 15 series expected to be unveiled on Tuesday, much of the talk has centered around Apple’s rumored inclusion of a USB-C port. According to leaks, the company is doing away with the Lightning connector it has stubbornly clung to for the last 11 years. So, why the sudden change of heart? I can assure you Tim Cook didn’t look out over a sea of frayed Lightning cables and declare, “Enough is enough.” And, while I’d love to tell you the switch is due to the enhanced performance and charging benefits of USB-C, this is Apple we’re talking about. Instead, the departure results from EU regulation as the company aims to make the iPhone compliant for sale in Europe.
Google Pixel 8 colors: Every shade we expect to see
Which colors are returning, and which will be shown the door?
Since the next Made by Google event was announced for October 4, Pixel 8 rumors have been pouring out from every corner of the internet. As usual, once enough leaks of the company's next Pixel lineup made it to the web — including from its own storefront — Google went ahead and made things official, publishing marketing images of the Pixel 8 and showcasing one of the new colors features on this year's lineup. Even with all of the leaks, rumors, and teases from Google, one big question remains — which color will you buy?

While the Watch 6 Classic holds advantages in some key categories, the TicWatch Pro 5 counters with a lower price and stellar battery life — but is that enough to sway your decision?
Onyx Boox Tab Mini C review: Colorful and compact, but not without compromise
All the specs are here, but the lack of a store holds the experience back
When I use a product from Onyx, I feel like someone who chooses Donkey Kong in Mario Kart. He can’t accelerate to save his life, and his handling is garbage, but if you can overcome that, his top speed is absolutely glorious. It’s a niche playstyle. And, if you know what you’re getting into, it can be effective and a lot of fun.
Beats Studio Buds+ review: The Toyota Camry of earbuds
If you've never uttered the word "mids" in your life, the Studio Buds+ are for you
I’ve enjoyed watching the evolution of Beats over the last few years. After starting as gaudy bass goblins with questionable build quality, Beats has focused on refining its image, resulting in better-balanced products worth considering. A great example of this transition are the Beats Studio Buds released in 2021. The Studio Buds produce above-average sound quality and have solid battery life, making them a contender for our list of best earbuds.

Do the Fold 5's string of small changes add up to one big upgrade?
As a tech enthusiast, I empathize with the temptation to upgrade to the latest and greatest. With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, that itch to upgrade is probably developing if you own a Galaxy Z Fold 3. Undoubtedly, the Fold 5 is a better device than the Fold 3, but the question is whether those improvements are worth the cost of buying a whole new phone, or if you're better off holding onto your Fold 3 for another year.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, you might have an itch to upgrade after seeing one of the tempting Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers.

With the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, fans of foldable phones are getting the showdown we’ve been waiting for — a Galaxy Flip with a larger external display vs. the sleek and stylish Moto RAZR+. While the Flip 4 put up a respectable fight against the Moto device, the gorgeous external display of the RAZR+ made all the difference. Samsung hopes the Flip 5 improvements will lure consumers away from Motorola’s resurgence in the United States. Both are cutting-edge with great specs, but which is right for you?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is one of the most powerful Android tablets on the market. Samsung charges quite the premium, but the spec sheet is impressive. In addition to its gorgeous 11-inch AMOLED display refreshing at 120Hz, the Tab S9 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. When you add up to 12GB of RAM, it's difficult to imagine needing more performance to accomplish even the most demanding tasks.
Which Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 color should you buy?
Mint makes an appearance for the first time on the Flip series
Since the first Samsung Galaxy Z Flip device, people have asked for larger, more usable external displays. It took a few generations of Flips, but Samsung has delivered an external display worthy of your next Instagram scroll with the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 vs. Lenovo Tab M10 Plus: Which is right for you?
Can a $700 tablet compete with one barely costing $150?
While premium tablets with high-end features always seem more attractive, it's often the low-cost option that is the best fit for most people. I'm not immune to the allure of flagship processors and truckloads of RAM, but I'm also honest about my tablet usage. Couch binging does not require a top-of-the-line Snapdragon; you can watch YouTube cooking tutorials with less than 8GB of RAM. The choice between the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 and Lenovo Tab M10 Plus is a decision that needs to be both personal and practical.
Best AT&T phones in 2023
Ready for a new phone? AT&T makes is easy with support for a wide range of Androids and a growing 5G network
If you are completely new to AT&T or looking to upgrade your current device, there are plenty of quality options to fit almost any budget. Even though buying an unlocked device is always the best option, smartphone price tags can be staggering. Because of this, AT&T offers carrier financing options that allow you to spread the cost out over time — instead of paying all at once, you pay monthly over 36 months. While this is a nice option, please keep in mind that it keeps you locked to AT&T until all the payments for that phone are made.
