This Extremely Slim Phone Is Hitting Apple and Samsung Where It Hurts

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-14 17:00:04

You have to travel across the world to find just how Americans are devoid of choice for interesting phones. At IFA 2025, I went hands-on with Tecno’s Slim phone—or at least I tried to hold onto its incredibly thin frame. It’s an apt name for such an irregular phone, one that has me asking whether Samsung and—potentially—Apple need to rethink what people really want from frisbee-light phones. China-based Tecno has a penchant for weird mobile devices. The company recently revealed a Phantom Ultim

The Pretty Screen on Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 Will Almost Make You Forget About Its Price

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-15 06:00:55

Why change what works? In the case of Lenovo’s Legion Go 2, the question morphs into “Why change what makes you distinct?” Lenovo’s upcoming sequel to its Legion Go handheld gaming PC is more powerful, has grips made for human hands, and sports a prettier screen. Its blood is flowing with the same DNA as Lenovo’s odd handheld, but now it comes with a price tag designed to make your wallet weep. Here’s the kicker.

Eufy just introduced a couple of new devices at the IFA conference in Germany, including something called the MarsWalker. This little doodad picks up robot vacuums and carries them up and down stairs. That's pretty neat, considering stairs are the bane of any robovac's existence. The company says the MarsWalker automatically recognizes common stair types, including straight, L-shaped and U-shaped.
