I think there's only one thing that I envy about Apple products, and that's the ecosystem that they've been able to build around their products. It is the reason people get sucked in and find it hard to escape, and while there are similar options in the Android world, it is limited to devices from the same manufacturer, such as Samsung.

It’s one of the most common low-stakes annoyances in modern life: you flop down on the couch at the end of the day, finally with a few minutes to watch one of the dozens of incredible shows or movies you have access to thanks to the peak TV era and the advent of streaming, and you start scrolling. Instead of actually watching anything, you spend an interminable evening opening apps, aimlessly scrolling through endless rows of same-looking tiles. You eventually give up and watch The Office again.

A new Samsung phone has just gotten a pretty substantial leak, and surprisingly, it isn’t a flagship. The leak comes from GizNext (via Onleaks), which has revealed everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy A06 in painstaking detail. Notably, this is a fairly entry-level phone that’s expected to have budget pricing characteristics of the Galaxy A-series and serve as a successor to the Galaxy A05.

Realme has already made some big (and occasionally. ) claims for its new number-series flagships - however, it has saved some of the most stunning for the actual 13 Pro launch event, claiming that they can, among other things, take better portraits than a DSLR and achieve "far better clarity" than a handset with a 200MP sensor.

While the Pro 6E is no longer the latest and greatest router in Eero's arsenal -- that honor now goes to the Eero Max 7 -- it's still plenty capable. With full support for Wi-Fi 6E and the resulting ability to send signals in the recently opened, ultrawide 6GHz band, plus a WAN port capable of accepting incoming wired speeds as high as 2.5 gigabits per second, it's still one of Eero's most forward-leaning mesh routers. Not surprisingly, it's one of the most expensive, too, ringing in at $550 for a three-pack, $400 for a two-pack or $250 for a single device. That said, Amazon is currently offering 20% off the Eero Pro 6E when you trade in an eligible device.
