1MORE Aero TWS ANC earbuds in black (Source: Own)

1MORE Aero TWS ANC earbuds hands-on: Good battery life and overall sonic experience, but spatial audio fails to impress

The 1MORE Aero are the brand's first product to come with spatial audio, a feature also present in the Apple AirPods, but they do so for less than half the price. Thankfully, this new Luca Bignardi-tuned product has more up the sleeve than an audio processing algorithm that might lose its appeal after just a few minutes.

Acer Swift X 14 (2022) in the laptop review

86% Acer Swift X 14 laptop review with RTX 3050: Underchallenged i5-1240P

Light, 1.4 kg (3 lb) gaming hybrid. The Acer Swift X 14 is a light, 1.4 kg (~3 lb) laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, a long battery life, 16:10 display, and high system performance. However, the graphics performance still crashes completely in battery operation, and even the fast SSD and crisp keyboard won't help in that case.

Traditional brand. Nokia is stepping up its game once again. The X30 5G is the Finnish manufacturer's fastest smartphone so far and is also supposed to be the most sustainable. The mid-range smartphone makes a strong impression terms of features, accompanied by a 3-year warranty and equally long updates. Whether the overall package lives up to expectations is revealed in the following review.

AMD Ryzen 9 + Radeon RX 6800S. Lenovo's thinnest gaming laptop is just 1/100th of a millimeter thicker than the Razer Blade 15 and it uses only the latest Zen 3+ and RDNA 2 parts from AMD. It holds up surprisingly well against the competition so long as you don't mind the high core temperatures.

Perhaps a bit too ambitious. The Predator Triton 300 SE joins the small but elite group of high-performance 14-inch gaming laptops consisting of the Razer Blade 14, Asus Zephyrus G14, and Alienware x14. The Acer model has its advantages, but they're not enough to stand out from the crowd.

Full Intel pack. Thanks to the additional Intel Arc A370M graphics processor, Acer's notebook promises significantly better performance in image and video editing – even for games. Even beyond that, the features seem impressive and meet high expectations. Unfortunately, a few flaws in the details spoil the overall impression, which is otherwise good.

Nothing Ear (Stick) TWS headphones review - Transparent sound

Nothing's latest TWS headphones are called Ear (stick). The charging case in lipstick design and the transparent Earbuds are eye-catchers. Even without aptX, LC3, or LDAC, the half-in-ears can offer a full sound. With only 4.4 grams per earbud, the Ear (stick) are also among the absolute lightweights.

The ARM ThinkPad. For the first time, Lenovo is introducing a ThinkPad laptop with an ARM processor to the market. The ThinkPad X13s is silent and offers a long battery life thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3.

84% LG Ultra PC 16 (2022) AMD review: This is not a gram.

More stamina than the gram. It is called an Ultra PC and is cheaper than a gram. This 16-inch laptop has a longer battery life than the already long-lasting Intel-based LG gram. What's more, the device only needs a 72 Wh battery (rather than 80 Wh) to achieve this level of battery life. At 400 g heavier, the Ultra PC is admittedly not quite a "gram", but it is still a respectable piece of hardware no less.

78% Samsung Galaxy A13 5G smartphone review – Modern cellular technology in an otherwise simple package

Compromises in exchange for 5G. Most of the cheapest 5G smartphones start at just above 200 USD and this includes our Galaxy A13 5G. A simple case and the low storage capacity is the tradeoff. Is it worthwhile?

Doogee AJ01 (non-)smart glasses hands-on: An interesting new product with an outdated design approach

Advertised as "smart audio glasses," the Doogee AJ01 sports Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and can be used to replace the wired or wireless phones usually used with phones and tablets.

79% Nokia G60 review - Mid-range phone with recycled content

More power than its big brother. The casing of Nokia's G60 is made of 60% recycled plastic, and the phone is also supposed to be supplied with updates for longer to extend its service life. So, the mid-range phone presents itself as sustainable, but can it also convince in everyday use?

Eleglide Coozy review: Fast e-scooter with air tires and a good range

Heavy but powerful. It is not surprising that e-scooters are fashionable right now. They are significantly more affordable than e-bikes and get the rider to their destination without having to contribute their own muscle power. In the case of the Eleglide Coozy, this can even be at a distance of 40-50 kilometers (~25-31 miles). We tested the e-scooter extensively.

Aluminum case and WQHD panel. Lenovo is offering a large 16-inch multimedia notebook in the ThinkBook 16 G4+, which is armed with a lot of power thanks to an Intel Core i7-12700H and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 as well as a good sRGB screen in 16:10 format.

85% Nubia RedMagic 7S Pro review - The gaming smartphone with integrated fan and UDC

Many superlatives. The RedMagic 7S Pro is a thoroughbred gamer, which is not only equipped with a fast SoC, but also promises high frame rates and sampling rates. Additional sensor keys are supposed to improve the gaming experience, while the integrated fan keeps the frames stable. A direct hit?
