Nokia 3.1 Plus review
The Nokia 3.1 Plus is HMD Global’s first smartphone in the U.S. sold in a carrier store. It’s only available on Cricket Wireless right now -- but should you buy a phone this affordable? It comes so close to being a great phone with decent performance, fantastic battery life, and even NFC for Google Pay, but the camera brings it down.

The Razer Wireless Charger adds colorful flair to your desk or bedside table. It works with any phone that supports Qi wireless charging -- with some quirks -- and the base glows different colors for a cool effect.

Got an Amazon Echo Show? Ever want to just take the screen and use it as a tablet in the bedroom? Lenovo’s new Smart Tab lets you do this. It’s an Android tablet you can attach to a Smart Dock to create an Echo Show competitor, complete with Alexa integration. The Echo Show mode can also be triggered without the dock.
Nreal’s mixed-reality sunglasses are more compact than the Magic Leap One
The Nreal Light are mixed reality glasses from a former Magic Leap employee. They allow you to see virtual objects in the real world, but they require a wired connection to a small, portable processing unit. The screen is excellent, but would you want to wear them? We try them on at CES 2019.

LG Watch W7 Review
The LG Watch W7 is a Wear OS smartwatch, but it differentiates itself from the pack by offering mechanical watch hands. We appreciate LG’s efforts to try something new, but the execution on the W7 is flawed. At $450, the price is also steep for the limited features available on the smartwatch.

Apple has unveiled a big redesign for the iPad Pro, slimming down the bezels, adding Face ID, and the ability to magnetically attach and charge the Apple Pencil. All of this comes at a high cost however, as the iPad Pro starts at $799 for the 11-inch model, and $999 for the 12.9-inch option.
Montblanc Summit 2 review
Montblanc’s Summit 2 is the first smartwatch to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor. It’s feature packed with GPS, NFC for Google Pay, and a heart rate sensor, but it also has a classic timepiece design that will leave you questioning whether it really is a smartwatch. It’s expensive, but it’s the luxury smartwatch to buy.
Here’s how Google’s Call Screening A.I. works, and how to use it
Google's Pixel 3 and 3 XL smartphones can take excellent photos, but they also feature a few artificial intelligence features that steal the show, and Call Screening is one of them.

Google strips the color from its redesigned apps, but a little goes a long way
Google has been redesigning most of its apps this year, throwing in a ton of white space while removing a lot of color first introduced with Material Design in 2014. Why is Google abandoning color? It's actually limiting it to highlight the product more, and to spotlight key Google actions.
The OnePlus 6T has a secret weapon, and it’s not what you think
The OnePlus 6T is here, and no, the under-glass fingerprint sensor is not the killer feature. The spotlight is how the phone is now available straight through T-Mobile, and it also works on Verizon. It means OnePlus can finally grow its brand in the U.S., as the 6T is the most accessible OnePlus phone ever.
Google Pixel Stand review
Google’s new Pixel 3 smartphones can wirelessly charge, so the company is releasing its own wireless charger. But the Pixel Stand is no ordinary charger -- it’s packed with smart features that enhance your phone even when it’s out of your hands. It also makes Google Assistant far more accessible.
