I pitted an $8,000 Leica against my $1,100 Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, and here’s how it went
Nowadays, most people have a camera in their pocket, attached to their smartphone. This has resulted in all of us being able to capture memories and our day-to-day life without necessarily needing one of the best cameras at hand. Even though I own a mirrorless camera, I still take lots of photos (and videos) on my Google Pixel 10 Pro…

Tenways nearly perfects the shareable city e-bike
Good electric bikes are expensive. So why not buy one and share it? That’s the idea behind the Tenways CGO Compact e-bike I’ve been sharing with my wife and teenage daughter for the last two weeks. It adapts in seconds without any tools to comfortably fit riders of varying heights thanks to its low-entry frame, quick-release seat post, and height-adjustable…

I just tried the new Leitzphone with a powerful Leica lens, and this might be the phone to finally take me away from Google Pixel
In the lead up to MWC Barcelona 2026 and on the heels of Xiaomi renewing its partnership with Leica, Leica revealed its first-ever international smartphone at the Xiaomi Launch Conference on 28 February, and it’s called the Leitzphone. Powered by Xiaomi, the Leitzphone brings advanced imaging capabilities to a sleek, premium-looking smartphone. With the Leitzphone, Leica is diving straight into…

Xiaomi’s Leica Leitzphone mostly earns the name
Xiaomi and Leica’s long-running phone partnership just got a little closer. Alongside the new international release of its 17 Ultra flagship, Xiaomi has been entrusted with manufacturing a separate version that is the first Leica Leitzphone to release outside of Japan, following three Sharp-made models exclusive to the country. In truth, the Leitzphone is a 17 Ultra with Leica branding…

Forget the Galaxy S26 Ultra — this is what a true Ultra phone looks like
I don’t envy the Xiaomi 17 Ultra making its debut during MWC 2026. It comes hot on the heels of a different brand’s ultra flagship, which is no doubt hogging some attention that Xiaomi would otherwise be getting. But fortunately for the 17 Ultra, it’s not really playing in the same league as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Xiaomi’s ultra…

The Trump phone sure looks a lot like this HTC handset
Where’s the Trump phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week. We’ve reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone’s whereabouts, and have stopped getting a response. This week, thanks to a reader tip, we think we’ve found the original phone the T1 is based on. A long time ago, back when the Trump phone was…

Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 ThermaCharged NeverTouch review
The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 ThermaCharged NeverTouch is one of the best robot vacuums out there, and it’s pretty much self-sufficient. It has effective vacuuming that leaves carpets totally clean, and excellent mopping that leaves floors sparkling. It’s self-emptying with anti-odor, and the NeverTouch system keeps the mop clean with thermal technology, so (as the name suggests) you don’t have to…

Third-Party Patching and the Business Footprint We All Share
When security teams talk about attack surface, the conversation usually starts in familiar places. Servers, identity systems, VPN access, cloud workloads, maybe browsers. Those are visible. They show up in diagrams and asset inventories. What gets less attention are the everyday tools people use to actually get work done. PDF readers. Compression utilities. Remote access clients. Word processors. Spreadsheet tools.…
