With the Made By Google hardware release event moved up a couple of months (possibly to placate everyone after the gruelingly AI-focused I/O in May), Google stole plenty of headlines with a quartet of dashingly redesigned and well-equipped devices.

The Amazfit Bip 5 is a stellar fitness tracker, and it’s a complete steal at the low, low price of $89. While the sleep tracking leaves something to be desired, the fitness analysis and performance score make it an Apple Watch SE rival.

Last Black Friday, I pulled the trigger on one of the best Samsung Galaxy phone deals of 2023. The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE was on sale for $400, and it was hard to pass on a $200 discount, especially when the phone had just come out. Its successor may not be that much of a bargain. The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE announcement rumors claim it could be official before the end of summer 2024. What will it bring? It's hard to say. As a Galaxy S23 FE user, I have a list of Galaxy S24 FE improvements I wish to see before Samsung's next Fan Edition phone grabs my attention.
