Matthew Miller/ZDNETZDNET's key takeawaysThe 2024 Moto G Play for a couple of weeks, and, to my surprise, this $150 phone has been able to provide an enjoyable experience for communication, entertainment, social media, and more.View at Motorola The 6.5-inch LCD has a 1600 x 720 pixels resolution with a 90Hz refresh rate and it has been great for watching video content. I've also found the 5,000mAh battery to provide long enough battery life when combined with Qualcomm's power-sipping Snapdragon 680 processor. I…

From the moment I popped my SIM card into Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra, I couldn’t wait to stop using it again.It’s not because I prefer the iPhone—I toggle between iOS and Android for fun and research purposes—or because the S24 Ultra is a bad phone. The real culprit is Samsung’s other flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold5, which I bought in October.At this point, I’m well past the new gadget honeymoon phase and am clear-eyed about foldable phones’ compromises. (There are quite a bunch.) But after using the Fold5 every day for the…

Ever since Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel launched at the tail-end of the Infinity Saga, a certain subset of fans — who have been colorfully and accurately described by Samuel L. Jackson — have feared that women are taking over the MCU. Well, I am delighted to inform these people: it’s true. Although this used to be a rare occurrence, the Multiverse Saga has become increasingly obsessed with taking male characters from the comics and reimagining them as female. We’ve known all along that Marvel Studios was very keen to…

I’ve been an Apple user for more than half of my life. Besides owning different iPhone, iPod, iPad, and Mac models, I have always preferred using the company’s apps and services. For example, the day Apple launched Apple Music, I deleted my entire iTunes library and started paying for the streaming service – which I never considered doing with Spotify. That said, using Safari and Mail has always been part of my routine. But over these past few years, I noted that they were lacking features that I could find in…

Samsung, Motorola, and Google have already released foldable phones. While Apple is the only major player without a folding smartphone, Motorola says it has seen a growing demand for iPhone users to switch to the new Motorola Razr as they want a foldable device. To CNET, Motorola’s head of North American product operations said, “This is definitely the family that we have the most amount of iPhone users switching to us.” The percentage? 20% of new Razr users are coming from Apple products. While…

Cosmetics and personal care products enhance the way we look and feel. During the pandemic, I started a self-care facial routine.It helped me cope with lockdown orders, while simultaneously adjusting to my new identity as a mom. I applied toner, serum, and cream to brighten mornings and relax evenings.But many of these products contain chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as 'forever chemicals'. They are used as ingredients that can make products waterproof, long-lasting and help them…

The US smartphone market has declined 17% YoY in Q1 2023 due to inventory correction and weak consumer demand. On the other hand, the iPhone has increased its market share to 53% in Q1 2023 from 49% in Q1 2022, showing that Android owners are switching to Apple. This information comes from the latest Counterpoint Research analysis. While the iPhone has the biggest market share, Samsung maintained its second position with an unaltered 27% share. Motorola fell from 10% to 8%, TCL from 3% to 2%, Google held at…

Game streaming has felt like the “next big thing” in gaming for the past decade. I recall trying out services like OnLive back in my college dorm room, playing the same 30-minute trials over and over again. Half the time the service never booted, and the half that it did was a lag-filled mess. Fast forward a couple of years and Sony acquires Gaikai to integrate into PlayStation Now (RIP), but left it largely ignored until Xbox began its push into streaming with its Xcloud initiative. With major tech giants like…
