We can bite a lull of post-these days, but criticism arrives in hot and heavy in early February. Samsung has already launched its latest premium phones and we have published some long -term criticism of the devices that we have been testing for months. In this episode of roundup reviews, we have phones, a laptop, a robot vacuum and a smart grill. There is something for everyone this week.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Samsung gave us the first flagship phones of 2025 and they count strongly on the features of the AI to attract users. Sam notes that the company has improved these tools, but the ultra galaxy S25 looks like an iterative update due to limited hardware upgrades. “This means that many of what Samsung has focused in this generation is more like a bonus rather than an essential feature,” he wrote. “And when you can get around 90% of the phone’s capacities from previous models, the most dangerous thing in Samsung asks to consider buyers is why they have to upgrade at all.”
Samsung Galaxy S25
Like the ultra galaxy S25, Samsung leaned strongly in the characteristics of AI on ordinary S25. However, the company has also spent a lot of time updating the design and the main components of this model. As Mat explains, it allows a boring version for the long -standing flagship line. “Unless you desperately desperate a bump in power of treatment and the lifespan of the battery, it would be wise to see how reduced the models are reduced in the coming months,” he said .
Anker Eufy E20
The EUFY E20 is a vacuum of the robot transforming the first of its kind. Although it works better in its central function as Robo Vac, you have the possibility of wireless configurations and VAC configurations in the same device. “Although Eufy is not unrelated to the creation of a solid robot vacuum, this device is always a first generation product in my mind – and solid to that,” notes Valentina. “But you should know what you buy in advance: a robot vacuum cleaner greater than the average which can be transformed into a stick just to the average and a vacuum by hand.”
Oura Ring 4
Intelligent rings can still be niche, but there is a company above the rest. With ring 4, our fixed defects in the previous model to ensure that its crown is sure for the moment. “If there is a drawback, it is that Oura remains forever limited by the limits that an intelligent ring imposes,” explains Dan. “If you want something more complete, then it is likely that a smartwatch is a better option, but for everything else, there is that.”
OnePlus 13
While most telephone companies focus on AI’s features, OnePlus has decided to build a convincing combination of a flagship level which is not overloaded with bloating. “Over the years, OnePlus has used slogans like” Flagship Killer “and” Ultra in any way “as a means of taking shots on his biggest rivals from Samsung, Google and more”, writes Sam. “But for The OnePlus 13, it feels like the company just went and has made a really solid premium handset without a pile of IA fluff. “
Weber Searwood
Weber’s first cheek, smoke fire, was a learning experience for the company. Fortunately, the long -standing brand has learned from these faux pas when it built Lewood. The second intelligent grill with the company offers more reliable performance, excelling to low and scanning smoking. Weber opted for a whole new design for this model, from the kitchen area to the new screen. There is also a manual mode which allows a grid and a entry of the opening. And although there are warnings, Searwood wood is a very improved grill compared to its predecessor.
Critics to come: Apple, beats, techniques and more
According to BloombergApple will start a new iPhone SE next week. This will be the first update of this model since 2022, and apparently would not have nixed the home button. The report also details details such as a camera notch, USB-C and the use of the first Apple internal cellular modem. If the timing is true, we expect to start our tests shortly after the drop in news.
In this same report, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman explains that Beats PowerBeats Pro 2 Listening should also make his debut next week. The brand belonging to Apple has teased for the first time an update of its model focused on fitness with a design of hooks per ear last September. Gurman reports that the new model will have heart rate monitoring, which will be a first for a set of apple headphones. If the PowerBeats Pro 2 is indeed announced soon, we expect a ready exam soon after.
I have EAH-AZ100 technical headphones for tests too. These buds won one of the prizes of CES of Engadget last month and I was looking forward to putting my hands … uh, ears … on them since. During a brief leave in Las Vegas, the newly designed magnetic fluid drivers offered an impressive sound, but I can’t wait to see how this set resists for a full range of tests.
