Galaxy S25 units for reference. | Image credit – SamsungWe’re in the final weeks of the year now, which means that all eyes are on Samsung. The Galaxy S26 lineup is the big show everyone is waiting to see take the stage.Thanks to the abundance of rumors, leaks and claims, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to see it in advance already: but do you like what you’re seeing?I know I don’t. At least not entirely.And I’m not talking specifically about the Galaxy S26 models’ design: although I still mourn the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s boxy, shard-edged looks.I have mixed feelings about…

Honorable MentionsWe haven’t tried a vacuum yet that we absolutely hate. These ones below are solid vacuums, and in some cases are much cheaper than our top picks, but we didn’t like them as much.Bissell IconPet Turbo Edge for $200: Bissell’s OG stick vacuum is a popular model that’s been around for a while. It does a good job picking up hair and cat litter, and easily turns into a handheld vac too. The battery lasts a little longer, but former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano wasn’t impressed by its Cheerio-gathering skills, and it can’t stand up on its own.Black &…

Hiking in the fall is pure bliss. The temperatures are pleasantly mild, the trees come out in a myriad of beautiful colors, and the soft, low sun gives everything a beautiful, warm undertone. There is only one issue — the wet and rainy weather that turns mild hiking trails into slippery obstacle courses. Do not let that put you off, though. All you need is a good waterproof hiking shoe and the wonders of nature are up for grabs.Save up to 53% on the Columbia Women’s Konos TRS OutDry Mid hiking shoes at Amazon.

November is here, which means gift giving season is right around the corner, as is Black Friday.

It’s now down to $1,499 from $1,799 — a 17 percent discount. This deal is available at both Amazon and Best Buy, and seems to be the first big markdown on the Pixel…

I just reviewed the iPad Pro M5, and my spellchecking extension continuously alerted me I’d used the word “overkill” a bit too much for its liking. That was an honest oversight on my end, as I can’t honestly look at that tablet and not think it’s one exorbitant hardware excess in more ways than one.That’s because the newest iPad Pro comes with Apple’s shiny and powerful new desktop-grade M5 chip, which nets some serious performance gains over the previous M4 generation. We’re talking about major improvements in both CPU and GPU performance over the already exceptional M4 chip. But no matter…

I’ve been playing a lot of Battlefield 6 recently, and during nearly every session, my friends and I run into at least one group of players taking advantage of an easy-to-pull-off drone glitch that lets you get to areas that are normally impossible to reach. It’s been a problem basically since EA’s FPS launched last month, and it’s shocking that it’s still an issue weeks later. Battlefield 6 launched on October 10. And less than a week later, there were already posts on Reddit of people using a newly discovered glitch to reach rooftops that shouldn’t be accessible on maps…

Movies and series hit differently when viewed on a large screen. If you can’t find anything interesting to watch at your local cinema, you end up with a home projector, if you’re that passionate about movies.That’s why the 11-inch Ulefone Armor Pad 5 Ultra is the perfect way to catch up with John Carpenter’s evergreens.Yeah, that’s a tablet. But it has a built-in projector, and it’s massive – and rugged.But the trend is… slim devices! Image by Ulefone As you very well know, the latest craze in the industry are wasp-waisted handsets: that’s how we got the Galaxy S25 Edge…
