The Pebble Time 2 is a little slice of 2016 brought a decade into the future. It's not perfect by a long shot, but I think it *is* the perfect antidote to a smartwatch landscape that's become a bit corporate and predictable.
My review is live now on the MrMobile YouTube channel. Come hang in the live chat for the premiere at 8p ET!

I see a lot of folks talking about the "new" wide format of the upcoming iPhone Fold and Galaxy Fold 8 โ but there's not much new about it.
In the latest episode of "Into The Fold," I explore the many benefits (and few downsides) of the W I D E B O D Y form factor.

Even when the only major changes happen in the battery and the camera, there's still a lot to talk about.

For those waiting for the Clicks Communicator who think Q4 can't come soon enough (I know, same here) ... @clickskeyboard just shared a wonderful video that describes the design process, and why we're not just re-building the BlackBerry for 2026.

Motorola's first book-type foldable is better in many ways than its US competition โ but is there such a thing as being too late to the party?
I've spent 12 days finding out:

Today's video is a 2-for-1!
Sure, I go hands-on with the new Motorola Razr phones (there are 4 of them for 2026!). But first, I share a long-term review of last year's Razr Ultra, which I've carried for the past 11 months.
As you can imagine, I have *thoughts* ๐ญ

So much appreciated for the review done by @Captain2Phones for the Leitzphone powered by #Xiaomi. It is 95% similar to how I would say about this phone, especially the critics.

This is the most worthwhile website you will visit this month.
I got every question wrong (WAY wrong) and instead of discouraging me ... it made me hopeful for the future. For the first time in years.

I promise that some day I will get over my "pocket laptop" obsession โ but today is not that day.
NEW on the MrMobile YouTube channel: journey back 2 decades with me, for a look at a very special "High-Tech Computer" from the company that would come to be beloved for them.
The HTC Universal from 2005 stars on the latest episode of "When Phones Were Fun." Join the live chat at 6p ET!

Two shots of a space fan on a special day, from two very different cameras!
๐ธ First one is the selfie shooter on the Oppo Find N6 (lightly edited).
๐ท Second photo is also from a front-facing camera on a smartphone ... but we would have called it a "webcam" back when it was released in May 2005. Any guesses?
Good luck, Artemis II! ๐

I get to try SO MANY gadgets โ but I can't justify a full-length video for every one. So every now and then, I like to toss a bunch of 'em into a big 'ole mashup!
Your episode of Gadget Grab Bag for March 2026 includes:
๐ค a modular Android phone
โจ๏ธ a keyboard you can swipe on
๐ a battery that ๐glows๐
๐ฒ phones that flash
๐บ an extra screen for your iPhone, and
๐ณ cards to help you remember ...

Since the beginning, folding phones have been defined by compromise. Theyโve been too fragile; too expensive; their cameras havenโt been as good; and the creases splitting their screens have been too distracting.
This one is built to change all that. ๐ฅ
My Oppo Find N6 review is live in 15 minutes on the MrMobile YT channel! Come see whether the dream of the "zero-compromise foldable" is finally a reality.
