There’s plenty of smart home gear to pick from now, and one of the best places to start is with a smart security camera. There are plenty of options to pick from, but Phillips Hue makes some of the best and smartest looking options. And thanks to this free upgrade, they’ll last even longer. The Phillips Hue Secure battery cam is the brand’s only wire-free option. It can quietly do its job indoors and out, offering full HD video, two-way chat, night vision, motion detection, and even an ear-splitting siren if things go south.

In 2021 we thought we were going to get a fully redesigned Switch or Switch Pro console. But that wasn’t to be; instead, we got a bigger display in the form of the 7in OLED display with a 720p resolution. For the Nintendo Switch 2, we naturally thought that the better OLED tech would make it across. However, it turns out we were wrong, and I think that’s a huge mistake on Nintendo’s part. The problem is that most of us are very used to OLED displays now on our phones, TVs and high-end laptops and while Mini LED is…

The hybrid handheld successor will go on sale in June, but goes up for pre-order a lot sooner – and demand is sure to be sky high. Nintendo has put a plan in place that will hopefully limit scalpers and resellers’ ability to hoover up stock. That means if you’re eager to get your hands on one on launch day, there are a few hoops you’ll have to jump through. These vary based on where you are in the world. USA Nintendo Switch…

The button, present on the right Joy-Con directly below the home button, is square and marked with a “C.” The mysterious new button was shown briefly in the video debuting the Switch back in February and was present in every mock-up and leak of the console. In the Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo finally revealed the purpose of the button, a new feature called GameChat.As its name implies, GameChat enables Switch 2 players to communicate using the console’s built-in microphone. Nintendo noted how the Switch 2’s microphone will feature background noise filtering to ensure that GameChat calls come through clearly. And…

Samsung has launched the Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE Plus, the latest in its midrange Android tablet line, but they cost $50 more than their predecessors. For the first time neither tablet has a direct equivalent in the standard Tab S10 series. The FE is the smallest of the company’s current tablet offerings, while the FE Plus comes in a new screen size that sits in-between the S10 Plus and the S10 Ultra, meaning all four of Samsung’s Tab S10 tablets now come in different sizes. The S10 FE packs a 10.9-inch display, which has been Samsung’s “standard”…

For a lot of shoppers, the relatively recent FE series has become the new sweet spot. Similar screen sizes; similar specs; similar software; only with a much lower cost of entry. The new Galaxy Tab S10 FE duo continue that trend – but also shake things up in a few ways. Rather than being cut-down versions of the 12.4in Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and 14.6in Tab S10 Ultra, the Tab…

Last year, my best friend bought me an HP Sprocket portable photo printer. This, she said, would take my journaling game to the next level. After a short demo and dozens of journaling TikToks, I was stoked. And then I unboxed the damn thing. Another freaking Micro USB port. And right after I’d confidently gotten rid of all but one emergency Micro USB cable.USB-C debuted in 2014. The whole point was to create a universal connector that would transfer data and power quickly, while also eliminating the scourge of proprietary chargers. The first HP Sprocket came out in 2016, a…
