I’m sticking to my stance on smart rings: They’re not really fitness devices, but more geared towards health monitoring. Sure, fitness plays a big role in overall health, but there’s a distinction. And this is where Samsung had a real shot at bridging the gap—but they missed it. The Galaxy Ring? Solid build quality, no doubt. But what about its health and fitness features?

At IFA 2024, I was able to wrap my hands around the Tecno Pocket Go. This controller is slightly larger than a traditional Xbox controller, is actually a Windows 11-powered mini PC.

So far, I have held few gadgets in my hands that fulfill this AR promise as comprehensively as the Imiki AR Glasses from Myvu. And the most exciting thing is that the glasses will be available in stores as early as October.

Google’s Pixel smartphones were the first to receive up to 7 years of software updates, but it’s a different case with the Pixel smartwatches, which will only get 3 years of major Wear OS updates. Despite it being the third generation Pixel smartwatch, this has not changed at all, giving the new Pixel Watch 3 a shorter update policy than its competitors.
