Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs Ultra 2: Here’s everything new

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is here (full review), arriving two years after Ultra 2 first hit the market. But what changes has that two-year gap brought for potential upgraders? Here’s everything new in the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs. Apple Watch Ultra 2. Display: Larger than ever, with better always-on and more Apple Watch Ultra 3 has the largest display ever on an Apple Watch.

Samsung killed my favorite Galaxy Tab S11 model

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra are incremental upgrades over the last few generations of flagship tablets from Samsung, with brighter displays, faster processors, and the other improvements you’d expect from the latest in a long line of products. This year, though, there’s no Plus model, leaving the 11-inch Tab S11 and 14.6-inch S11 Ultra. Last year’s Galaxy Tab S10 series made a similar move, dropping the base model and instead offering the 12.4-inch Plus

The Top New Gadgets We Saw at IFA Berlin 2025

Every September, hundreds of thousands of visitors descend upon Berlin for IFA, one of the largest trade tech conferences in Europe. IFA heralds the unofficial start of Techtember, when companies launch products in anticipation of the holiday shopping season. For over 100 years, companies, financiers, and journalists have crossed the Spree and eaten cold liver sausage for breakfast, just to check out the latest innovations in consumer electronics. This year, those attendees include me and Gear

The Galaxy Tab S11 family is here, but should you upgrade from your older Galaxy tablet?

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority While many of us still upgrade smartphones every 2–4 years on average, tablets tend to have a much longer shelf life. They’re typically used less often and for narrower purposes like video consumption or light productivity. With the arrival of the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra, you might be wondering whether now is finally the right time to replace your aging Galaxy tablet. The answer here isn’t so cut and dry. It’s really less about age and more about whe

5 reasons I’d buy the Galaxy Tab S11 over the S11 Ultra

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It’s that time of the year when Samsung updates its premium tablet lineup alongside launching a new FE phone. The Galaxy Tab S11 series is out now, but this time it looks a little different. There’s no Plus or Pro model to speak of — just the standard Galaxy Tab S11 and its uber-packed, equally uber-expensive Ultra sibling. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra does give you a few extras besides that massive screen, but if you ask me, I’d stick with the standard model. He

3 Best Robot Lawn Mowers (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Maybe you’re not ready to give up control of your mowing, but you’re sick of pushing that mower around. The Mowrator S1 is a slightly crazy remote control mower that just might be what you need. I thought the S1 sounded like a daft idea, but this remote control lawnmower turned out to be far more fun than I expected. If you loved playing with RC cars in your youth, you’ll get some nostalgic joy from cutting grass with this beast of a mower, and it is oddly satisfying to mow the lawn this way. I

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Series and Galaxy S25 FE: Specs, Features, Price

Google may have given up on making Android tablets, but Samsung is putting along. Last week, Samsung announced a budget slate—the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite—but now it's time for flagship tablets.

Samsung announces incredibly thin Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and a smaller Tab S11

Galaxy Tab S11 revives 11-inch size as S Pen ditches Bluetooth, copies iPad placement

Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S11 has arrived with updated specs, the return of an 11-inch size, and some big S Pen changes.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra hands-on: Really thin, redesigned S Pen and... remember Dex?

Someone recently asked me: Who even cares about Android tablets anymore? If that's you, you're probably feeling the same indifference towards premium Android tablets. Even Google has conceded it won’t be making new tablets and seems to have already forgotten about the Pixel Tablet. But that’s not stopping Samsung from releasing the 11th-generation Galaxy Tab S11 series, comprising the 11-inch standard model and 14.6-inch Ultra. The latter is the more interesting of the pair, as it’s not only wha

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 Tablets Come in Two Sizes: Big and Absolutely Huge

There are only so many ways to make a tablet. If you’re Acer, you give most of your new Iconia tablets kickstands. If you’re Apple, well, you just say it’s a new iPad and call it a day. And if you’re Samsung, you announce the new Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra and make everybody play a game of “spot the difference” between the two Android tablets. At IFA 2025, Samsung debuted the two new tablets, and yes, you may need ChatGPT to create a table comparing the two to see what one has that the other

Windows 11 Update KB5063878 Causing SSD Failures

Sena S1 Smart Cycling Helmet Review: Listen to Everything

One of the most important senses we have as bike riders is our hearing. Whether you're in a group ride, where other riders are calling out road and traffic hazards, or alone, to keep ears out for vehicles or other rides coming from our rear, our ears are nearly as essential as our eyes. Bone-conduction headphones—which sit outside the ears and deliver sound through vibration—have been around for some time.
