The WD_Black SN850 SSD hits all of Sony’s required benchmarks (opens in new tab) and is confirmed as PS5 compatible by the manufacturer. We’ve also tested the drive in a PS5 ourselves and can report that it works flawlessly with the next-gen console. When running games off the SN850 SSD we actually experienced shorter loading times compared to playing them from the PS5’s stock hard drive. One of the best things about upgrading your PS5 internal storage is that adding a new SSD doesn’t replace the console’s stock drive....

Peacock may be one of the still-growing contenders among the best streaming services, but it’s got a ton to offer. We’ve analyzed Peacock from all angles, including the shows available to watch now and coming soon, plus how good its originals are (check out Girls5eva and We Are Lady Parts). Oh, and don’t think Peacock is just NBC and Universal content — it offers licensed movies and shows, too. Movies, fresh from the theaters, are an important reason why people may get Peacock....

According to a new study from Cybernews (opens in new tab), 10 of the most popular child-tracking apps have significant security flaws while some contain malicious links and others actually spy on the parents who use them to track their children. To conduct their study, the Cybernews research team analyzed 10 Android apps designed to track children or family members that have been installed over 85 million times. The team then used the open-source app security analysis tool Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) to evaluate the security and privacy of each of the apps....

The Bose 700 are some of the best headphones you can buy. With excellent ANC, sound quality, and intuitive touch controls, you simply can’t go wrong if you choose to pick these headphones up. In our Bose 700 review, we were impressed with their attractive design, precise and balanced audio as well as their touch controls. We also noted that the Bose 700 deliver a precise, wide soundstage, with balanced highs, mids and lows....

With its sharply angled edges and basic styling, the Icon has a somewhat industrial feel. It has an LED headlight mounted just above the front tire, and a brake-activated taillight. A throttle on the right handlebar will also have a small LED display that shows your speed and estimated battery life, while a thumb control on the left handlebar activates the brakes; you can also step on the rear fender to slow down the scooter....

Here’s what we know about the Ring Car Cam and Car Alarm so far. Ring Car Alarm We’ll start with the Ring Car Alarm, an OBD-II device that sounds when it detects a break-in, towing or an accident. Should any of those situations occur, you’ll be notified via another Alexa-compatible device, and you can even remotely fire the alarm manually if you so choose. Because of this, the Ring Car Alarm doesn’t require any sort of monthly fee....

Wemo Smart Video Doorbell Wemo’s smart video doorbell is interesting in the fact that it’s only one of these three new video doorbells that work with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video; when it records an event, it’s sent to your encrypted iCloud account (starting at $0.99/month). Wemo’s model has a 4MP camera with a 178-degree field of view, which is wider than the Logitech Circle View Doorbell’s 160-degree FOV. That means you should have a better chance at seeing packages, though Wemo doesn’t say whether its camera has a vertical or horizontal orientation....

For those on a tighter budget, it looks like the company has something more affordable in mind: the Samsung Galaxy A53. And a new TENAA listing (opens in new tab) for the handset has confirmed what the phone will look like when it finally goes on sale. As spotted by Android Authority (opens in new tab), the images shown are pretty much exactly what was promised by the prolific tipster OnLeaks and Digit....

Citing industry sources, the publication claimed that the Galaxy S22 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra could have displays that hit a peak brightness of 1,750 nits. That’s a significant boost over the peak brightness of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra, which topped out at 1,300 nits and 1,500 nits respectively. For reference, peak brightness is the maximum brightness a screen will automatically ramp up to in order to improve visibility in very bright environments, say outdoors on a sunny day....

While this image was live for a long time yesterday, going to the Talk to Bixby using Voice wake-up on your Galaxy device (opens in new tab)page and the tab titled “Voice wake-up on multiple devices” now shows a Galaxy Tab S7....

As a reminder, in 2021 Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series, which included a sporty-looking smartwatch as well as the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with a more traditional design. It was the Wear OS 3 smartwatch, and quickly became one of the best smartwatches overall by introduced new features like the body composition analysis app. So what will be different between the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 vs. Galaxy Watch 4?...

Control options are numerous, build quality is unarguable, and in quite a few ways the HW-S800 performs admirably — certainly it’s as good a pound-for-pound soundbar where Dolby Atmos sound is concerned as we’ve heard. Physical connectivity is severely curtailed, though, and there are aspects of its audio performance that irritate just as surely as some aspects satisfy. Which means its appeal, in the final analysis, will probably be restricted to those for who getting sound from as small a speaker as possible is just as important as the actual quality of the sound they get....

But can the Tab S8 Ultra actually become your next laptop? We previously examined how the Tab S8 Ultra could potentially be a laptop replacement, based on Samsung’s promises. We also briefly touched on the topic in our Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra review. The tablet has many features that place it on par with traditional laptops, but there are also aspects preventing it from being the genuine article. As it turns out, answering this question isn’t as clear-cut as it was when we asked if the newly released iPad Air could replace your laptop....
