The packaging immediately signals that RAK took this seriously. Everything is clean and thought-out, you open the box and you get the device, a charging cable, and a lanyard.

This laptop basically has every high-end feature you could imagine, but one of my favorite aspects is the ports.

Without question, the 10,001mAh battery is the highlight feature of the phone, so that's where we turn to next. It's not that we haven't seen phones with similar or even bigger batteries before - it's just that this one is the first one we have tested that doesn't feel like a brick. It measures 162.3 x 76.2 x 9.1mm and weighs 219g, which is pretty standard for a phone with a 6.8" display.

I've had an 11-inch iPad Air M2 for almost two years now, and as ZDNET's deals and shopping editor, I'm always scouting for the best accessories worth investing in (and catching on sale).

The build of the ring is more square than circular, but I found myself unbothered by this unique shape.

As an avid iPad user, I'm all too familiar with the internal struggles that course through me when the battery is about to die. I love using either the iPad 11 or iPad Air to write and work, but I also use it to stream content, play games, and browse the internet after work. This makes me appreciate the iPad's long battery life, yet my anxiety grows when I start getting 'low battery' alerts without a charger nearby.

The TCL Tab 10 Nxtpaper 5G's display smoothly transitions from regular mode to color paper or ink paper, whether you're reading, scrolling on social media, watching videos, or playing a game.

Over the past several weeks, I've been testing the , the last of Motorola's 2026 series -- for now. During CES 2026, the company unveiled the Razr Fold, its first foldable smartphone, so there is more to come. But for the initial group, I'd like to think that Motorola saved the best for last. It offers the best user experience of its generation, and I recommend it over the others.
