Even though the original model was lacking in a lot of important ways, its impact was so immediate and monumental that the…

We often talk about reasons to upgrade, as we are constantly dealing with newer mobile technologies. But we're also well-aware that not every Galaxy A5x user is always looking for the latest and greatest hardware upgrades. Not every phone user is a mobile gamer. And many mid-range device…

Jason Hiner/ZDNETApple's second-generation AirPods turn five years old today, and I'm proud to say that I've been using the same exact pair that I bought back in 2019.
