3 days ago | bttr.reviews | Nick Broughall

Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. Samsung has officially detailed its Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, and I have mixed thoughts on this device. On the one hand, the fact that you get flagship performance from a phone that is just 5.8 mm thick is impressive. Samsung has managed to pack the Edge with top tier specs, from the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset to the 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display.

In the paid section of last weekâs BTTR roundup newsletter (go on, subscribe! Just $10 a month!) I briefly discussed the fallout of a US federal district court finding Apple was in âwilful violationâ of a 2021 injunction designed to let developers offer alternate payment options to customers in their apps. I would rather not spend too long rehashing the news â itâs a week old now.
The Tineco Carpet One Cruiser looks like a floorcare behemoth

Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. Having your own dedicated carpet cleaner is an investment. When I reviewed Tineco's Carpet One Pro, my research showed that the average cost of steam cleaning your carpet was $55 a room, though it's probably higher now. That means you probably want at least four dedicated rooms carpeted, that you wash once a year, to really get the value from buying your own appliance rather than paying for someone to come and do it for you.
I didn't want to be the only tech website to not publish the GTA 6 trailer

Gaming â 2 min read Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. I don't really cover games here at BTTR. Not because I don't want to â I'd love to spend more time gaming! But I already have too much to write about without trying to cover a topic area that already has a number of great independent media brands focused on. Still, everywhere I look this week is GTA 6. First it was delayed.

Vacuum Cleaners ‚ÄĒ 5 min read Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. I tend to get more excited by the premium products in any given category. For robot vacuums, the premium models have impressive roller mops or movable arms that pick up obstacles. But for most people, those devices are priced out of reach.
Belkin's new SoundForm headphones come with a built-in relaxation track for when *gestures* all this becomes too much

Headphones ‚ÄĒ 4 min read Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. Sometimes when the world gets a bit too much, I put on a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones and play some Nintendo Music. Not one of the boss battle tunes, though, obviously ‚Äď more a relaxing background sound to help me unwind. Belkin had the genius idea to pack that concept directly into its new SoundForm Isolate headphones.
At $169, HMD's new Aura² smartphone promises 51 hours of battery from a single charge

Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. If you buy a cheap smartphone, it's not going to offer great performance. That's just the reality of today's modern smartphones. But what we are seeing is a trend to introduce features that may have been high-end a few years ago down into this entry-level market. The Aura2 from Human Mobile Devices (or HMD) is the latest smartphone from the company that used to make Nokia phones offering self-repairability.
