Google Pixel Watch vs. Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro: Which wearable works for you?

Google looks to make a statement with its first smartwatch, but Samsung also proves itself with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro

A good fitness smartwatch comes with the right tools for the job, and that's exactly the case Google and Samsung make with their respective models. The Pixel Watch carries a heavy influence from Fitbit, while the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is an attempt to cater to the active crowd looking for something robust and rugged all at once. We've reviewed both, and while the focus between them is largely similar, how they execute on that vision differs a fair bit, from the fit and design to the feature set and functionality.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro vs. Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS: Which wearable works for you?

Samsung aims to win over an even more active crowd, but Mobvoi could be an update away from doing the same.

Samsung would like everyone to think it has dibs on the best smartwatches for Android users. While the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is among the best Android smartwatches available, competitors are gunning for the same unofficial title. The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS ranks among smartwatches right now, but it's a bit in limbo waiting for Wear OS 3.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 vs. Z Flip3: Which is right for you?

Differences in cameras, storage, accessory support, and more. Here, we ask: hot dog or hamburger?

Samsung's newest folding devices, the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy Z Flip3, have been fully revealed (and we've even played with them). They're both intensely cool, but one costs way more than the other. So, aside from the basic shape, what's different between the two, and which is right for you? Let's discuss.

Should you buy the 2020 Pixel Buds or the new A-Series?

It all comes down to the deals

Google's newest earbuds, the Pixel Buds A-Series, are now available. They're explicitly mid-range and don't have all the bells and whistles of last year's Pixel Buds, but their MSRP is also a lot lower: $99, compared to $179 for the 2020 model.

Even after price cuts, is the Galaxy Z Fold2 worth buying in 2021?

Three months isn't too long to wait for a new Fold, which seems inevitable at this point

Last year's Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 was arguably one of the best phones of 2020. It was the first tablet-style folding phone that truly felt like the future of foldables rather than a prototype. It came with the latest Snapdragon 865+, a flagship-grade camera setup inherited from the Galaxy S series, a 120Hz display, and a new, more durable folding glass display — real glass, just very thin and topped by a polymer. After almost 8 months, is the Galaxy Z Fold2 worth getting? Let's discuss.

Should you buy the OnePlus 9 or the Samsung Galaxy S21?

Which high-end phone is better suited for you?

We just gave the Samsung Galaxy S21 our "Most Wanted" award, but OnePlus started selling a worthy competitor this week: The OnePlus 9. Both phones are pretty similar in size, hardware, and price, with their own advantages and disadvantages, so deciding between the two might be a bit difficult. But we're here to help and will guide you through the nuances and differences in this post.

Last year's Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition blew us away: for $599 (it's hardly ever sold for its $699 MSRP), it offered performance nearly identical to that of phones that cost twice as much thanks to its Snapdragon 865 chipset. It was also among the first phones to offer a 120Hz display at a mid-range price. But it was released in October, which means it's coming up on six months old. So, is it still worth buying in 2021? Let's discuss.On its face, the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition is still a very good phone. Made with high-end parts where it counts, it's hardly aged — Samsung said it wanted to distill the essential experience of its flagship phones into something less expensive with the FE, and it was successful in doing that. Although it's "only" got six gigabytes of RAM, the S20 Fan Edition doesn't feel any older than any of Samsung's high-end 2020 models — it continues to handle any task you could conceivably throw at a phone with alacrity. It's even 5G-compatible, if that's something you care about.

Galaxy Note20 vs OnePlus 8 Pro: Which should you buy?

In this pre-order period you can still do some comparison shopping

Samsung's Galaxy Note20 Ultra packs in plenty of high-end specs like a Snapdragon 865+, big 120Hz display, one of the biggest camera sensors you can get, plus a periscope-style telephoto camera, laser autofocus, and the well-known S Pen. But before you go dropping $1,300 on a pre-order, you might want to consider what you're looking for in a phone, and the OnePlus 8 Pro might also be on your radar.

Samsung's Note20 Ultra is here, and as its name suggests, it shares quite a lot in common with the recent Galaxy S20 Ultra, and that includes a sky-high price tag. So, what did Samsung learn from the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and which should you get?

As with last year's Note10 and Note10+, Samsung has again released two Note-series phones, begging the usual question: Which should you buy? Of course, that always comes down to your wants and budget, but it should still be a surprisingly easy decision to make, given how different the two phones are.
