  • The Google Pixel 9a Proves Once and for All That Budget Phones Are Worth Buying

    2 weeks ago | howtogeek.com | Justin Duino

    Last year's Pixel 8a felt like a budget phone and seemed unnecessary in Google's lineup. This year, the search giant turned things around. With near-flagship performance and a sub-$500 price, the Pixel 9a might be the best-value Android phone in 2025.

  • The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Is a Great Phone, but It Doesn’t Stand Out

    2 months ago | howtogeek.com | Justin Duino

    I'll cut straight to the point. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a fantastic phone. It was also one of the easiest phones I've ever reviewed because it's not much different from last year's Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra $1300 $1500 Save $200 The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a top-of-the-line smartphone with a 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and a 120Hz refresh rate.

  • The Galaxy S25 Ultra Feels Nice, but Samsung Didn’t Provide a Reason to Upgrade

    Jan 22, 2025 | howtogeek.com | Justin Duino

    It's another year of refinements for Samsung with the announcement of the Galaxy S25 series. The hardware remains great, but the company hasn't given much of a reason to upgrade, unless you're interested in personalized AI features. I've gone hands-on with all three phone, and have some thoughts. The Ultra Is the Only Phone Seeing Physical Changes The Ultra lineup has always looked and felt like a phablet. It's a large phone with a lot of power under the hood.

  • After Trying the Galaxy S24 FE, I'd Buy Samsung's Flagship S24+

    Sep 26, 2024 | howtogeek.com | Justin Duino

    The Galaxy S24 series are some of the best Android smartphones you can buy today, but being flagship devices, they can be a bit expensive. Samsung's answer for fans looking for a more budget-friendly handset is the new Galaxy S24 FE. It shares a lot of features with the more expensive models, but it's obvious where corners were cut. After checking out the phone, I think you should stick with the flagships.

The @GooglePixel_US 8 Pro in blue has a matte back glass that feels amazing in the hand. This is definitely the model I’d recommend. #MadeByGoogle https://t.co/RHtGijKcYu
