I pried open a cheap 600W charger to test its build, and found 'goo' inside

It's easy to silkscreen 600W on the product, but can the product live up to the hype? Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I test dozens of chargers every year. Some are excellent, while others fall short. Here on ZDNET, I only feature the cream of the crop -- the best of the best. However, I occasionally receive requests from readers asking for my thoughts or opinions on specific products. Lately, one product that's been generating a lot of buzz is this 600W GaN charger. Also: This wall charger repl

AMD reveals vanilla RX 9060 with cut-down specs, for pre-built PCs only

What just happened? A non-XT version of the Radeon RX 9060 will likely be the last member of AMD's desktop RX 9000 lineup. Positioning a new product just below the $300 8GB 9060 XT might have allowed Team Red to undercut Nvidia's RTX 5060, but AMD has instead made its new entry-level card exclusive to system integrators. Tom's Hardware recently acquired an AMD press release formally announcing the standard variant of the Radeon RX 9060. While some specifications remain unclear, the upcoming GPU

The Best-Worst 8GB GPU of 2025

Over the past few months, we've spent a lot of time testing the new 8GB graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia, and we've found them to be quite disappointing. There are countless examples where the 16GB versions deliver playable performance – sometimes even high refresh rate performance – while the 8GB models range from significantly slower to completely broken. While it's true that in all the examples we've shown so far, you can lower visual settings to get the 8GB models working, that's not an i

Gear News of the Week: Insta360 Debuts a Drone Company, and DJI Surprises With an 8K 360 Camera

The 360 camera company Insta360 has entered the drone market with a spin-off brand called Antigravity. This new company hasn't released a drone yet, but it's coming soon and will likely have a slightly different take from current market leaders like DJI. Antigravity's drone is expected to feature 360 cameras with 8K resolution. It will also fall under the 250-gram weight limit, meaning it won't require a license. The 360-degree camera makes sense from the company that makes our favorite 360 cam

DJI Has a New 360 Camera That You Can't Have (Yet?)

DJI, best known for its drones, gimbals and action cameras, is releasing its first 360 camera, the Osmo 360. It has some impressive specs, with big 1-inch sensors, 8K video at 50 frames per second and 120-megapixel photos. The 360 camera market certainly isn't crowded. Insta360 is the biggest name, followed by Kandao and GoPro with its refreshed-but-aging Max. The Osmo 360 seems interesting on paper, but then there's the little wrinkle that for now it's not available in the US. The reasons why

DJI’s First 360 Camera Is Gunning for Insta360’s Class-Leading X5

Like the world’s strangest West Side Story spinoff, the China-based camera companies DJI and Insta360 are muscling in on each other’s turf. While Insta360 plans to share details about an upcoming “immersive” drone, DJI now plans to offer a 360 camera that is taking direct aim at Insta’s bread and butter. The DJI Osmo 360 has supposed specs that may give it the slightest edge over the pack-leading Insta360 X5 for the same price. While the average camera sensor records images in a square or recta

DJI Osmo 360 review: A capable action cam that's a real threat to Insta360

DJI is finally taking on rising rival Insta360 with its first panoramic action camera, the Osmo 360. The company dug into its deep engineering toolkit in an effort to one-up the competition with features like a new sensor design, up to 8K 50 fps 10-bit log recording and a smaller, lighter body. It also matches or beats its rival in other areas, with similar battery life and superior low-light capability. After testing the device in various scenarios like riding around on an e-bike, I’m impresse

DJI has announced the company’s first 360-degree action camera designed to compete with the Insta360 X5 and the aging GoPro Max (which the company is planning to replace soon). The new DJI Osmo 360 slightly edges out the X5’s recording capabilities by capturing 8K videos at 50fps instead of 30fps, and features a design that’s both smaller and nea

This long-requested Galaxy upgrade might finally arrive on the S26 Ultra

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A new firmware leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra will support 60W wired charging. That’s a major jump from the 45W limit on previous Ultra models, though still slower than some rivals. The phone is expected to keep its 5,000mAh battery and use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. Samsung might not be boosting battery capacity on its next high-end flagship, but it looks like faster charging is finally on the cards for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Tipter Erenca

Nvidia Geforce RTX 5060 Review: Not Quite There

This should've been Nvidia’s victory lap after a fairly successful round of high-end GPUs. The RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 were expensive and hard to find at launch, but the performance was impressive for those who could get their hands on one. Most people spend less than $500 on a graphics card, and they've been waiting patiently for their turn to go shopping. Unfortunately, the RTX 5060 falls short of its similarly priced AMD counterpart, and the gap gets even worse when any pressure is applied. Si

Insta360 spin-off Antigravity is making a drone that can record 360-degree video

Insta360 has decided to spin out its own drone company, Antigravity, allowing it to operate independently.

Details are currently limited, as the company finalizes its first product. However, Insta360’s Antigravity says its drones will be aimed at existing drone owners, looking for more creative video options as well as beginners “intimidated by the learning curve

The Best 360 Camera Maker Is Making an ‘Immersive’ Drone and DJI Should Be Very Worried

DIY flyers have been slapping 360 cameras onto drones for years now. But what if said 360 camera did more than film sideways, slantways, longways, and backways? Insta360, maker of some of the most popular 360 cameras, has declared it’s now making a drone that promises “immersive” flights thanks to a camera apparatus with two fisheye lenses. If the stars align, this new drone will make its debut next month. These new drones will sit under the canopy of the “Antigravity” brand. It’s not as if the

Please, Motorola, give us the Moto 360 we deserve

I loved the old Moto 360 — the original, not the 2019 reboot. The funny thing is, though, I never actually had one, I just liked what it stood for. It was a sign of smartwatches becoming more like everyday wearables, accessories to be shown off rather than simply tracking steps and telling the time. Then, just as I was in a position to try a Moto 360 for myself, Motorola axed it from the family and dove back into the smartwatch dark ages. Now, it might be back. According to a leak from Android

A new Moto 360 is coming, but maybe not like you’d expect

TL;DR Leaked renders have provided us with our first glimpse of the new Moto 360 (2025) smartwatch. Unlike the last Moto 360, this one is reportedly made by Motorola itself, rather than a third-party company. Currently, it’s unclear whether the Moto 360 (2025) will run Wear OS, a scaled-back RTOS, or both. The Moto 360 will forever be one of the most memorable Android smartwatches, and according to a new leak, an updated 2025 model may be on the way soon. On Monday, Android Headlines publishe
