Kellen August 29, 2024 56

The launch of the Pixel 9 series is without a doubt the biggest for Google in many years. Instead of giving us two phones - one Pro, one non-Pro - they gave us 4 phones to try to decide between, all of which have been massively redesigned. There's the regular...

OnePlus Watch 2 Review: Battery Life is Wild, Fitness Tracking Surprisingly Great

Kellen March 19, 2024 56
