When Stellé Audio came out with the Clutch, we were just a little disappointed that it was a wireless speaker that looked like a clutch, instead of a speaker tucked away inside a clutch that you could actually use to carry a few essentials around. Not so with the Mini-Clutch, which has storage space in […]
Now that we’re a few days on from IFA, we can start taking a look at some of the more low-key announcements to come out of one of the world’s biggest stages for consumer electronics. And, as is so often the case, those low-key announcements are often some of the best. BlueTouch and Pulse Relief, […]
How much do you love coffee? How far would you be willing to go for the perfect cup? Philips is about to put your dedication to the test with their new mega-coffee maker to end all coffee makers—the Saeco GranBaristo Avanti. Look, when a coffee maker is first shown off the year before release as […]
If 2013 was the year of the fitness tracker, 2014 is turning out to be the year of the smart watch. To that effect, each mobile company at IFA in Berlin this week, had their own smart watch to debut. At each press conference, I anxiously awaited to get a hands on with that perspective […]
Earlier this year at COMPUTEX, Intel gave us our first look at their new Core M processors in their reference design, a fanless slate PC. This week, at IFA, Intel is giving us all a better idea of what their next generation of processors will mean for the new devices we’ll be seeing in the […]
The Asus ZenWatch is Asus’ first wearable device, and it’s looking like a nice alternative to a lot of first party wearables that we’ve seen announced recently. Well, technically, the ZenWatch is also a first party wearable, because Asus makes smartphones. But, you know. It’s hard, the smartphone game. The ZenWatch runs Android Wear, and […]
This week at IFA in Berlin, the Lumia team combined their reveal of the Lumia 730 and 830 with the announcement of a new Lumia-specific update to Windows phones. The Lumia Denim update will combine aspects of the Windows 8.1 Update 1 with brand new camera features—for the phones that have the hardware to handle […]
Nokia has introduced a couple new mid-range smartphones this week that try to toe the line between hardware proficiency and price. Do they? The Nokia Lumia 830 is being billed as an affordable flagship by the Lumia team. Flagship might be too strong of a word, but it’s not a bad phone. The Windows 8.1 […]
For the past couple of years, it’s consistently been Samsung that’s been willing to experiment with their high-end products, giving us new things to consider. This year was no different, as Samsung announced the Galaxy Note Edge at their Unpacked event this week. The Galaxy Note Edge is almost the same exact phone as the […]
Samsung made their big announcements this week not at IFA, because they’re too cool for IFA. To be fair, though, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, announced at Samsung’s Unpacked event, is awfully cool. Their jumbo-sized 5.7″ phone is back and, yes, better than ever thanks primarily to a brand new Super AMOLED 2560×1440 display. That’s […]
If you think the name is weird, that’s cool. Chances are, you don’t have to worry about it. The Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One 23 is directed at one group of people in particular—the good folks that staff our IT departments. The Tiny-in-One 23 is, in some ways, more of a souped-up monitor. It has a 23″ […]
Wondering what happened to the Haswell refresh for the ThinkPad Helix? Turns out, Lenovo’s not bothering for their business-oriented 2-in-1 hybrid. They’re taking you to the next generation over, announcing a new Helix powered by Intel’s brand new Core M processors. The ThinkPad Helix takes a different approach to the 2-in-1 thing than Lenovo’s other […]
Lenovo is introducing two new, smaller spin-offs of their 27″ all-in-one table PC, the Horizon 2. The Horizon 2s and Horizon 2e are set to be released this year, and are going to much more handy if you’re looking to move your all-in-one around the house frequently. The Horizon 2s is the 19.5″ version, and […]
Apparently, the Dyson 360 Eye was at one time slated for a 2001 release. Well, after a slight delay, Dyson’s debut robot vacuum is almost here. It looks like the Roomba better get its defenses up in this robot death match, too, because Dyson’s vacuum tech is always on point. Dyson has always excelled at […]
Last year, Sony gave us a unique take on photography with the QX10 and QX100—fully-fledged cameras shrunk down into a lens form factor that could be mounted to smartphones. Of course, smartphone cameras aren’t too shabby as is, but the QX line brought more robust optics and sensors to the plate, all while co-opting your […]
The Sony Action Cam is getting small. Like, really small. Once you get this thing mounted, you really will forget it’s there. The Sony Action Cam Mini is debuting at IFA this week, and it’s going to definitely attract some interest among the extreme sports crowd. The Mini is 30 percent smaller than other Action […]
Sony has two new wearables coming at you this fall. At IFA in Berlin, we’ve gotten a look at the SmartBand Talk and SmartWatch 3, two wrist-worn devices that will work in tandem with Sony’s Lifelog app. Neither of the new devices are standalone, like what we recently saw with the Samsung Gear S. The […]
Sony is, for some reason, already refreshing their entire line of mobile devices at IFA this year. If you’re following along at home, Sony’s Z2 line of mobile devices came out yesterday (alright, between April and July of this year, but still). So, it’s no surprise that the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact isn’t a very […]
The Sony Xperia Z2 smartphone came out this past April. Clearly, that means a new model is in order. Sony seems to be antsy this year, releasing their Z3 line of mobile devices in the same calendar year they released their Z2 devices. The Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact smartphones will indeed drop within […]
Coming along for the ride with Sony’s brand new line of Z3 mobile devices is the E3, an entry level smartphone that sports decent specs at what should be a pretty low price. The 4.5″ smartphone takes a huge hit to display quality compared to the flagship line. The display is just 854×480 resolution, so […]
Lenovo has a whole slew of announcements prepared for IFA in Berlin this week, and the first one is great news for anyone in the hunt for a new tablet. The Tab S8 will be an 8″ Android device that looks to offer pretty tantalizing value at a fairly low price. The Tab S8 will […]
