We’re reaching peak camera with the Sony A7R VI

It wasn’t long ago that shooting with a super high-resolution camera meant making serious sacrifices for the sake of all those megapixels. Enter the A7R VI. Sony’s latest flagship high-res camera is a 66.8-megapixel spec monster. In addition to its modest bump in resolution from the last-gen A7R V, it uses a new sensor and […]

A RAMageddon guide to back-to-school laptop shopping

If you’re a student looking for an affordable laptop, I have bad news and I have good news. The bad news is that computer prices are out of whack due to the ongoing RAM and storage crunch, making some a little pricier than they used to be and others wildly more expensive. The good news? […]

CMF’s clip earbuds hit the balance between cheap and good
CMF’s clip earbuds hit the balance between cheap and good

Clip earbuds are an exercise in compromise. It’s an inherent aspect of their design – and physics. They can be more comfortable for people that don’t like something jammed in their ear, but sound response suffers. Ambient awareness is great because you can easily hear the sound around you, which means to hear your own […]

The MSI Claw EX is the most important PC handheld since Steam Deck — I still wouldn’t buy one

As The Verge’s resident handheld reviewer, I have nearly every portable gaming PC on a shelf in my house. The MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus is now the first one I reach for. Thanks to a next-gen Intel chip and improved MSI design, the Claw EX is the most powerful handheld that truly feels […]

I finally found a robot lawnmower I’d trust with my yard
I finally found a robot lawnmower I’d trust with my yard

Robot lawnmowers are finally good enough to take a lot of work out of maintaining a yard, but they’re still not set-it-and-forget-it machines. If you don’t want these autonomous cutting machines to tear up your lawn or go roaming in your neighbors’ yard, you’re still going to need to keep an eye on them. But […]

You can now just point at a mess and this robot vacuum will suck it up
You can now just point at a mess and this robot vacuum will suck it up

Matic, my current favorite robot vacuum, just got a big upgrade. The company has launched Matic Cues, which brings voice and gesture control to the robot. Now, you can talk directly to your vacuum to tell it what you want it to do, or just point at a mess to have it spot-clean. The feature […]

The Corvette Grand Sport X delivers Porsche 911 performance for a fraction of the price

My drive of the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X began under oily black clouds, a torrential weather front releasing its grip on Manhattan – an inauspicious start for any mega-powered sports car. Rain pelted the waterlogged pavement, as I set course for the mountain-man roads of the Catskills, then on to Long Island and New […]

Google’s Pixel Watch 5 dives deeper into AI and health

The $399 Google Pixel Watch 5 isn’t about the hardware. Sure, there’s a new satin pyrite case finish, a few new strap colors, and a Steph Curry Special Edition. Under the hood, there’s a slightly faster Qualcomm processor and an itty-bitty battery bump. There’s a $50 price hike from last year, too, because the Pixel […]

Google’s Pixel 11 series pairs a little new hardware with a lot of new software

When I first picked up the Pixel 11 Pro this week, it was clear to me that this was one of those refinement years – at least when it comes to hardware. Aesthetically, the phones are as beautiful as ever, with Google’s signature camera bar and bright, colorful backing glass. There are small updates, like […]

Honor’s Robot Phone is better than a gimbal in a phone has any right to be
Honor’s Robot Phone is better than a gimbal in a phone has any right to be

The Robot Phone, which launches today in China, doesn’t sound like a good idea – and not only because it’s not actually a robot. Instead it’s a regular Android smartphone with its main camera installed on a compact gimbal arm that unfolds from the phone’s rear. Cramming the equivalent of a DJI Osmo Pocket inside […]
