The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is at its best when there’s friction

8

The cover screen feels more like a phone than ever, but the limitations are still what makes it.

The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Headphones are good, but don’t stand out

7

Verge Score

There’s nothing really wrong with the QuietComfort Headphones 2nd Gen, but there’s nothing exciting about them, either.

The TCL Note A1 is a kinder, gentler tablet

6

Verge Score

It’s easy on the eyes, comes with a stylus, and got me to write out an 1,100 word review by hand. But it isn’t E-Ink.

Greenworks’ MaximusZ electric riding mower has five motors and a few compromises

It’s more than a mower — which it had better be, given the price.

Verge Score

Sandwiched between the 10A and the Pro 11, the regular Pixel 11 is a good value, thanks mostly to compelling features.

Google’s Pixel Watch 5 is promising — but it isn’t finished

8

Verge Score

Think of this as part one of the Pixel Watch 5 review as most of the new features aren’t out yet. That said, GPS rocks.

Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold feels like the end of an era

8

Verge Score

A great foldable with IP68 and a reliable triple camera, trapped in a shape everyone else seems to be moving on from.

The Pixel 11 Pro is a great phone, no thanks to its flashiest new features

Forget HiLight and Proactive Assistance. The Pixel 11 Pro is at its best with focused new tools that actually work.

This robot vacuum solves my kitchen stool problem

Hands-on with Mova’s new V70 Ultra Complete and its mopping arm that cleans hard-to-reach spots.
