Few other phone makers have noticed the same niche that the X3 occupies, which speaks volumes and suggests it wasn’t the best idea. But the real issue here is that the pricing of this phone and its technology are at odds. Pros + Lightweight + Sturdy construction + Reasonable battery life Cons – Slow SoC […]

The low cost of this device is somewhat offset by some of the hardware choices that Phonemax made. The processor isn’t recent, the cameras lack the app to exploit the hardware, but the battery life is impressive. Pros + Relatively lightweight + Sturdy construction + Decent battery life + IP68/IP69K compliant Cons – Limited Camera

It’s a lovely-looking phone with a replaceable battery. But swapping the battery might not be needed if it were of greater capacity. It seems to take some of the mistakes made in the Galaxy Tab Active5 and double down on them. Pros + Elegant handset + Removable battery + Decent battery life Cons – 128GB

There are many reasons to consider the Asus RT-AX57 Go, including its performance and ease of deployment. The only big caveat here is the lack of LAN ports for those who want wired connections. Pros + Simple to install + Mesh capable + For the size, excellent performance Cons – No 6GHz channel – Poor

The extra expense of this tablet over some of the cheaper options by Doogee and AGM is offset somewhat by the quality of construction in this device.

A better thermal camera solution than many sensors integrated into phones. The One XH09 delivers high-definition thermal capture that is ideal for outdoor use. The inclusion of the handle makes the combined phone and camera much easier to use. Pros + Better quality than FLIR 3.5 Lepton + Works on Android 9.0+ phones + iOS

The number of things wrong with this USB hub does question the process that Baseus went through to go from concept to retail product. For a dock/hub, it is inexpensive. But, the limited bandwidth and questions about its functionality make it less of a bargain. Pros + Cheap + Metal construction Cons – Permanent USB-C
