  • Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold 8/10

    It’s a minor feature, but “Made You Look” — which uses the outer display to show an adorable animation to catch a kid’s attention — works exactly as advertised. Yet it uses the outer screen’s selfie camera, which isn’t great in low light.

  • Google Pixel 8a 8/10

    It’s a 6.1-inch 1080p OLED, and it’s not the very best screen in the class — that belongs to the OnePlus 12R. But the 8A’s display feels at least good enough in the era of high refresh rate screens.

  • OnePlus 12 7/10

    If you’re not already devoted to another Android ecosystem, you want to sit out this hype cycle, or you just want a phone that does phone things well, then the OnePlus 12 might just be the one.

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 7/10

    Samsung may still have the lead in the foldable race, but the gap is closing. If it wants to stay ahead, it’ll have to do more next year than just nip a few millimeters and pop in a new chipset.

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 8/10

    Being able to declare an absolute category winner is rare in the smartphone space. But in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, it’s actually quite easy: this is the best flip-style folding phone you can buy.

  • Google Pixel Fold 6/10

    The Pixel Fold is a powerful device with an entertainment-friendly inner screen, but it feels like it’s at least one generation away from greatness.

  • Google Pixel 7a 7/10

    While the Pixel 6A was the best midrange Android phone if you care most about the camera, the Pixel 7A is the best midrange Android phone — period. The screen isn’t quite as nice as the Galaxy A54’s, but it’s improved enough to satisfy most people.

  • Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 9/10

    I haven’t been a huge stylus fan in the past, and I still think that most people will rarely use one given the option. But I was more inclined to pop out the S Pen and jot down a note with the S23 Ultra than when I tested the S22 Ultra.

  • OnePlus 11 7/10

    The OnePlus 11 5G is a fast, smooth performer, with a $699 price that’s in line with its feature set. The company has also fixed some of the shortcomings of previous devices.

  • OnePlus 10 Pro 7/10

    OnePlus has taken another step in the evolution of its flagship offerings, and it’s a good one. This feels like a device that knows what it is and who it’s for, more so than the 9 and 9 Pro.

  • Hasselblad X2D 100C

    The X2D 100 C really has improved upon so many of its predecessors pitfalls. And while there is still so much work to do in the focusing department, like there is so much work to do there. I really enjoyed this camera and that slow speed, it didn't ruin my experience.

  • OnePlus 10T 7/10

    The OnePlus 10T isn’t a phone that tries to be everything for everyone, and I think that’s great. It’s smartly priced, and in the US, there’s not a whole lot else available at the same price point.

  • Google Pixel 6a 8/10

    [I]f a really big screen isn’t a priority and you (like me) prefer a sensibly sized phone that might actually fit in your pocket, then the 6A is easy to recommend.

  • Insta360 One RS 7/10

    Because of its larger sensor, heavier weight, and polished app experience, the ONE RS 1-inch 360 edition feels like a breath of fresh air in a rather stagnant consumer 360 camera market. But unlike its predecessors, it is not an action camera.

  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 9/10

    For someone who does plan to make regular use of its powerful but rather niche features, the S22 Ultra will be a phone like no other on the market. Some UI quirks remain, and battery life is disappointing.

  • Nikon Zfc 7.5/10

    The Nikon Z FC is a great entry-level camera for fashion-forward folks who will be motivated to carry this camera everywhere because of its retro design.

  • Apple iPhone 13 / 13 Mini 9/10

    The camera systems on the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are excellent. If there wasn’t also the iPhone 13 Pro in the world, they’d be the best you could get on a phone as of this writing.
