Garmin Forerunner 970 Review: A Very Extra Running Watch

Why, look at the leaves. It’s Garmin running watch season again! The sweatiest time of the year! As luck would have it, we’ve got a new flagship running watch to pore over in the form of the Forerunner 970. It features Garmin’s brightest AMOLED screen yet, built-in maps, a flashlight, a speaker, a mic, and more data fields than most of us mere mortals can process. It also costs $150 more than the previous running flagship, the Forerunner 965. Let’s see if it’s worth it. New Look Photograph: B

The 55-inch Hisense U7 is a great 4K TV under $600 for Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day’s best deals may not last for much longer, since the sale ends later tonight. This includes a big discount on the 2025 Hisense U7, a midrange TV that’s seeing deep discounts right now. The 65-inch model is available on Amazon for $797.99, which is almost 50 percent off its original. And the 55-inch is under $600. That’s a lot of performance for the money, and I’ll tell you why. In previous years, a lower price generally meant a less bright TV, and while that’s still true to an

The Prime Day sale on TCL’s 85-inch TV is one of the best deals out there

Prime Day 2025 is the best time this year to get a big-screen TV. Sure, there are deals in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, but those are generally on the previous year’s TV because most new models haven’t been released yet. Prime Day, however, comes after most major TV refreshes — including the 85-inch TCL QM8K, available for a limited time at Amazon and Best Buy for $2,499.99 ($1,300 off). For its size and overall brightness, especially if you’re looking for a bright-room TV, the QM8K

Pixel 10 Pro’s new display tackles eye strain, but it’s not the leap I wanted

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Google Pixel 10 rumors are coming thick and fast these days as we close in on the launch date in just a few months. Last week, we learned the upcoming phone’s Pro models will likely ship with a 480Hz PWM display — a first for the Pixel series. High PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) rates aren’t new to smartphone displays; we’ve already seen phones boasting thousands of Hz. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra offers a 1,920Hz PWM rate, the OnePlus 13 clocks in at 2,160Hz, and the H

Got a Samsung TV? I recommend changing these 6 settings for the best performance

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Say you recently picked up a shiny new TV. You unbox it like a kid at Christmas and prepare to indulge in all its visual glory. You think to yourself, "This is 2025. TV technology is sizzling, and it's going to look amazing no matter what." So you plug it in and don't take one look at the default settings. Big mistake.

Pixel phones may finally get native flashlight brightness controls, years after Samsung and Apple

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google may add native flashlight brightness controls to Pixel phones in the next quarterly release of Android 16. While the hardware has long supported it, Pixel users currently need to use an app to adjust the flashlight’s intensity. The new feature, discovered in the latest beta, will likely make the Quick Settings flashlight tile expandable. Nearly every smartphone has an LED flash on the rear that you can use as a flashlight in a pinch, but most d
