The slick smartwatch punches above its weight, combining an OLED display with dual-band GPS and a four-channel heart rate sensor for better accuracy. You also get nearly two weeks of battery life, which is impressive for the price.

I’ve not been convinced by the Pixel 10 Camera Coach, which gives basic tips like zooming in to frame your subject. But are Huawei’s new AI-based pose recommendations for the Pura 90 much better? Selfies aside, how is the person being photographed meant to see what’s on the phone anyway?

Starting in “late May 2026,” for channels you watch over an antenna, you may not see program information in the guide “depending on the channel”, and only programs from recently watched channels “may” appear, Sony says.

It’s a busy month for DJI. In addition to announcing a new Osmo Pocket model on the 16th and a new portable power solution on the 20th, the company is teasing an April 23rd reveal for a new drone lineup. Not much is known as leaks have been few and far between, but the new drones will be called the DJI Lito and Lito X1.

In a podcast with David Senra, Spiegel says, “I think Meta needed to partner with [Essilor]Luxottica because the Meta brand, I think, is not something people want anywhere near their face.” He’s not wrong.

Sony just announced a raft of new gaming products, including a new 1440p OLED monitor and an open-back headset.

Never did I expect Samsung to be the more affordable option, especially next to Hisense, but its 65-inch R95H is $3,200 — $300 less than the Hisense UR9. The step-down R85H is also only $1,600 in the 55-inch size. As more companies announce pricing, things are bound to get more competitive.

After teasing the “world’s first dual-screen color E Ink + LCD smartphone,” Bigme has announced its new HiBreak Dual.

Evan Blass has shared leaked images of the upcoming flip phone in four colors, each with a distinct texture. This is the regular Razr 2026 — a.k.a. the Razr 70 — though Motorola should also launch Pro and Ultra versions of the phone, and maybe soon — last year’s Razrs launched in April.

The civil rights organization and 75 other groups published an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg, urging him to “immediately halt and publicly disavow” plans for a reported facial recognition feature on its Ray-Ban smart glasses.

The Find X9 Ultra isn’t coming out for another week or so, but Oppo is ready to show off how it looks, and you can see why. Stay tuned for my full review, and let me know in the comments what you’d like me to test out — the 10x lens is a given.

I don’t make a habit of featuring Verge writers in the comment of the day, but since Nilay’s testosterone levels were the impetus for Victoria Song’s latest Optimizer column, on Whoop’s hunt for new health metrics, it only felt fair to air his response.
