Samsung’s Galaxy S line has long been about balancing cutting-edge innovation with broad appeal, and now, there's a new twist. Enter the Galaxy S25 Edge, a phone that aims to reduce both weight and thickness without compromising its flagship identity. It's thinner than ever before, just 5.8mm, but does this sleek new shape come with too many trade-offs? The S25 series is all about top specs, but the S25 Edge is more about the form factor.

Open-ear headphones have evolved significantly from their early bone-conduction predecessors, offering enhanced comfort, improved sound quality, and a more immersive overall listening experience without compromising situational awareness. The Shokz OpenFit 2 produce a rich sound through air conduction while keeping your ears open to the world. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks living, cycling, and even DIYing with them, and they’ve earned a spot in my everyday carry.

Dash cams have come a long way from grainy, single-lens recorders. The 70mai 4K dual-channel rotating dash cam, also known as the 4K Omni, takes things to a whole new level. This compact device combines impressive 4K front recording, a secondary rear camera, AI-powered security features, and a motorised lens that can physically pan across a full 340 degrees. I’ve spent the last month with it hardwired into my vehicle. The 70mai Omni looks more like a futuristic gadget than a traditional dash cam.

These headphones offer low-latency wireless audio, long battery life, and comfort tailored for DJs and creators alike. Although the Studio Max 1 is primarily built from plastic, the design doesn't feel cheap, thanks to metal reinforcements in the hinges and headband.

Ugreen’s new 500W 6-Port GaN charger is a one-stop solution for all your charging needs, including power-hungry laptops, tablets, phones, and, according to Ugreen, some e-bikes. I’ve spent a few weeks with this on my desk and for travel, and if you're the kind of person who travels with a laptop, a tablet, two phones and a drone, this charger is calling your name. The charger is a rectangular space grey block that wouldn’t look out of place next to a Mac Studio.
