The New LG OLED TV Has the Brightest Screen I've Ever Tested

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-27 07:55:00

CNET's key takeaways The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs. At $3,400 for the 65-inch size, it's expensive compared to some of the competition. The G5's best-in-class brightness made gaming easier and more enjoyable than I expected. As a Call of Duty player, I know that quick responses can be the difference between clinching victory and languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard. But until I played Call of Duty Black Ops 6 on the new LG G5 OLED,

Galaxy S25 Ultra vs. iPhone 16 Pro: Best Camera Phones Compared

The photography skills of the iPhone 16 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra are among the best money can buy, taking pics that can rival even dedicated mirrorless cameras. And with travel season ramping up, carrying a phone may be the most convenient way of always having a powerful camera with you. But when it comes to overall image quality, how do these two mobile titans compare?

I Accidentally Learned Just How Durable the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Is

If you're concerned about how durable Samsung's foldable phones can be, I'm here to tell you not to worry. And that's especially true when it comes to the new Galaxy Z Flip 7. After less than six hours with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I accidentally performed my own informal drop test. At a catered affair in Brooklyn, I walked outside to get a view of the waterfront, and when I pulled the Z Flip 7 out of my pocket, I fumbled it.

My First Day With the Galaxy Z Fold 7: This Foldable Finally Feels Just Right to Me

There's something slightly ironic about the superslim Galaxy Z Fold 7. Because the generous 6.5-inch cover screen feels much more normal than those found on previous versions of Samsung's foldable, I've hardly bothered opening the phone to use the sprawling inside display -- despite that kind of being the whole point. That's not a bad thing. Rather, it's a testament to how Samsung has managed to make both displays practical and useful. The cover screen no longer feels like an awkward compromise
