The July lineup featured foldables, earbuds, and gaming handhelds, but also low-cost gadgets and productivity accessories. Motorola's Razr+ 2024 offers improvements in display, camera, and software, but falls short in software longevity. The CMF Phone 1 impresses with midrange hardware, photography capabilities, and unique design at an entry-level price point.

Like any TV series that has stuck around for a season too long, the Android Police podcast is back with another freaking week of Pixel leaks, this time on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The long and short of it is that we're hoping it nails the landing, but wouldn't be surprised if it disappointed us when it launches with, say, a year-old version of Android. Also, our prospects on a folding iPhone and discourse on an ABC primetime show from the year 200-something as brought on by Android Police editor-in-chief and natural wellspring purveyorJames Peckham.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 has much to offer for the health-conscious and everyday user. If you're into sleep tracking and want more health metrics to gain better insight into your health, the Galaxy Watch 7 does all that but better.

If you put "tablets with a reflective black-and-white display" on your 2024 bingo card, people would have given you weird looks, but in May, Daylight Computer dropped something truly different into the tablet space. The DC-1 is an Android tablet with a 60fps, black-and-white, transflective display (dubbed LivePaper by Daylight) that sits between LED- and liquid crystal–based displays, and electrophoretic E-ink displays.

It hasn't even been a month since Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but the competition is coming swift. Google is prepping for the official launch of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold next week, which seems destined to bring about some tough competition. Not to be left out, OnePlus has returned with something unexpected: a remixed edition of last year's truly excellent OnePlus Open. I've spent the past couple of days trying one out, and I have to say, nearly one year later, I'm still absolutely in love with this foldable.

While there are plenty of high-end flagship tablets from brands like Apple, Samsung, and even OnePlus, the budget tablet market is quite limited. There are only a few affordable options available from Amazon, Samsung, and TCL, among others, but none of these options offer the same combination of decent specs, software, and features as the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro.

I want you to start typing on your phone, literally anything. Now look at the software keyboard on your screen, and I mean really look at it. Look at where the letter keys are located, with Q, A, and Z on the outer left edge, with ten keys from left to right on each row, otherwise known as a 10u 30% keyboard.
