$99 is pricey — and at 36Wh capacity and 40W PD output, it’s for small gadgets (1.5 charges for Z Flip, nearly full charge for Switch Lite). It only charged a Steam Deck 25 percent while playing 40 minutes of Animal Well. And the cable’s bead-like port covers kind of bang around.
But where else can you get charger, battery and cable in a single tangle-free package? Nice strong magnets, too.
I’m not saying you should go crowdfund a Bionic Bird X-Fly, as you’ll hear in my hands-on video below. I’m just saying that biomimetic ornithopters are surprisingly fun — and way less disruptive than your typical whiny quad-propeller drone!
So far, this thing doesn’t seem like a very impressive tablet. But Daylight is more a display company than a tablet company — and the display is pretty great.
The hardware is solid. The ideas are intriguing. So long as it holds up in testing, Samsung could have a winner.
It’s the Apple Watch Ultra, but for Android. Oh, and the Galaxy Watch 7 is here, too.
Aptoide is the fourth third-party iOS marketplace to launch in Europe. Will its unique model find success where others have struggled?
They even come in their own jewel cases! My test results surprised me: I really thought I’d prefer the green one with built-in cables, but the yellow’s my winner. They’re roughly $20-25 on AliExpress.

Could it match the Steam Deck OLED?
It’s pretty in pink, and its 360-degree view is handy. But while Ring’s new pan-tilt cam has the moves, it lacks innovation.
The company’s app redesign fumble threatens to steal the thunder from what otherwise looks (and feels) like a strong debut in a new category.
I swear, I did not dress my daughter in Mario duds just so she could do real-life Mario Kart! It’s too perfect, I know, but she picked them out herself hours before she ever saw the toy.

Webster already wrote about this, but I’m seriously wowed at how easy it was to turn an iPhone into a retro console for my TV. Once you add a gamepad, everything but joystick-sensitive games (sorry, GoldenEye fans) feels playable!
Delta dev Riley Testut tells me he’s “definitely open” to adding joystick sensitivity adjustment. For now, it uses Apple’s default calibrations.
It can be handy, confidently wrong, and just plain finicky — but smart glasses are a much more comfortable form factor for this tech.
What if Steam Deck, but not just Steam and not just Deck?
The new long-range EV from Honda comes with some Chevy Blazer DNA, but don’t hold that against it.
I’ll have a bit more to say about this printer later in the week — but I wasn’t going to miss showing off the Cocoa Press for Valentine’s Day!
