Amazon’s having it’s first-ever book sale next week (23-28 April), and has some early Kindle deals to celebrate. I’ve spotted a fantastic price drop on one of the shopping giant’s best e-readers – the Kindle Scribe. It’s Amazon’s e-ink tablet, which makes it a cross between a Kindle and an iPad. If you want to take things to the next level with some hand-drawn annotations, note-taking, and doodling, the Kindle Scribe is perfect. We gave it a decent three stars out of five in our review.

GoPro is probably the best known brand for action cameras. But Insta360 has become one of the most consistent specialist camera manufacturers of the past few years, serving up hit after hit when it comes to 360-degree cameras, tiny cameras and slightly bigger cameras you put on top of your monitor. The brand’s GoPro alternative, the Ace Pro, scored an impressive four stars out of five in our review. It did an excellent job at filming, even in low light. And thanks to Prime Day, the action camera is more of a steal than ever. Right now, you can nab the Insta360 Ace Pro…

This year’s hot new product seems to be tri-folding phones. When using them so far, I’ve found them to be more experimental than practical. My biggest problem has to be that they’re just a bit too fragile. That’s why I’m actually intrigued by Tecno’s upcoming foldable smartphone. It’s technically still a concept, but there’s positive news on the development that makes me think it’s coming later this year. The Phantom Ultimate G Fold might just be the first tri-fold that doesn’t make me scared to break it immediately after taking it out of the box. In fact, I managed to…

It’s summertime, which means it’s time for our annual grilling episode. In years past we’ve talked to the leaders of Big Green Egg, Traeger, and Blackstone, and it’s always fascinating how those companies have all the same kinds of problems and ideas as any of the tech companies we have on the show. In fact it’s funny — in what can only be described as a perfectly Decoder situation, I really wanted to have Blackstone CEO Roger Dahle back on the show this year because his griddle company is such a success that he’s in the process of buying Weber,…

The Dyson Zone is one of the weirdest gadgets we’ve seen. Even though Dyson has now discontinued them, they remain one of the quirkiest bits of tech. So, we’re here to (try) and answer your questions about the crazy air-purifying noise-canceling headphones. Why did Dyson discontinue the Zone headphones? In mid-2025, Dyson stopped selling the Zone headphones. They were pulled from third-party retailers, and Dyson’s limited stock is all that remains. In an interview with Wired, the tech giant confirmed that no new units would be manufactured… for now. I’m not sure if it’s a vague threat or a promise,…
