When you think about tablets that are currently up for sale at many retailers, you might think of an iPad or an Android device.

Ryan-Thomas Shaw — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 14:01:18 GMT

The LG Gram series of notebook computers is renowned for having some of the best lightweight laptops that you can buy. It comprises many different models and SKUs, which can make picking one rather difficult. There's the mainline LG Gram series, which comes in four sizes, but there are also three active sub-models: the Style, 2-in-1, and SuperSlim. There is also last generation’s Ultra-Slim Pro, which is technically still available from some retailers, but that line has been dropped for the 2023 refresh.

Best SSDs for Steam Deck in 2023

Arif Bacchus — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 21:00:18 GMT

The Steam Deck is a really impressive system for playing your favorite PC games on the go. So much so that there are many Steam Deck alternatives that you can now buy. One thing that's great about the Steam Deck, though is that it comes in three configurations to fit various budgets. So, if you opted for a Steam Deck with just 64GB or 256GB storage, and want more storage or faster performance in your games compared to running it off a microSD card, you might want to consider buying a new SSD. Changing the SSD takes a lot of work, but if you need some options, we collected eight of our favorite Steam Deck SSDs for you right here.

Should you buy a TV on Prime Day?

Pranob Mehrotra — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 19:30:19 GMT

Amazon's Prime Day sale event is one of the best times of the year to loosen your wallet, second only to Black Friday. During the two-day sale event, which now happens twice a year, Prime members get access to great deals on a wide range of products, but not all of them are worth your hard-earned cash. We've seen several instances of sellers jacking up prices right before the event to attract users with "higher" discounts, and we've come across plenty of listings selling old products at current market rates while falsely advertising a significant markdown from the original MSRP.

Best iPad 9 cases in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 17:00:37 GMT

The iPad 9 is far from being the best iPad out there. Despite that, it's still an excellent tablet for those who don't want to overspend on a glass slab. Not only does it support iPadOS 17 and its rich features, but it also is a great entertainment and education hub. You can use it to read, type, research, game, binge-watch, listen to music, and much more. It's also perfect for controlling your smart HomeKit appliances. Though, like any other tablet, you must protect the iPad 9 with a case. After all, accidents occur, and a single drop could smash its delicate body. To help you maximize its durability, we've listed some of the best iPad 9 cases currently available.

Best MacBook Pro USB-C hubs in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 14:24:47 GMT

The MacBook Pro (2023) is arguably the best Mac for power users working on the go. Not only does it pack some of Apple's mightiest silicon, but it also supports macOS Sonoma and all of its rich features. And while newer iterations of this Pro notebook offer a wide variety of ports, it still is missing some types. Worry not, though, as you can easily fix this problem by relying on USB-C hubs. To help you find the best USB-C hub for your MacBook Pro, we've listed some of the best options available below.

Best workstation CPUs in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 09:00:19 GMT

Mahmoud Itani — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 14:00:19 GMT

Apple's latest Macs are excellent for education and work alike. With many jobs and institutions switching to work-from-home or remote settings, our dependence on online meetings and calls has increased. That's why a webcam has become one of the essential accessories one should invest in when getting a Mac. While newer MacBook Pro and Air models include a built-in camera, it's not as clear as a dedicated, premium webcam. That's not to mention that some Macs, such as the Mac Studio, don't have a camera at all. So to help you find a good fit, we've listed some of the best Mac webcams below.

Best Android TV boxes and sticks in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:01:18 GMT

Android TVs are readily available on the market right now, but you don't necessarily have to splurge on a new TV just to get all the smart features.

Best MacBook Pro 13 (2022) chargers in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 23:00:18 GMT

The MacBook Pro 13 (2022) is undoubtedly one of the best Macs on the market. Despite it featuring an outdated chassis with thick bezels, it's the last Mac with a Touch Bar on sale, so you can utilize this retired hardware element while taking advantage of the mighty M2 chip. Expectedly, this machine is also compatible with macOS Sonoma, and it should be receiving software updates for years to come. Basically, it's a future-proof machine that should last you for a long time, and that's why a single charger may not be enough. While Apple does include a 67W brick in its box, you may find yourself needing spare or replacement units. To help you with the hunt, we've compiled a list of the best MacBook Pro 13 (2022) chargers in 2023.

Best Mac Studio monitors in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 21:00:18 GMT

The Mac Studio is arguably the best Mac for power users. That's because it features some of Apple's most powerful chipsets and supports the new macOS Sonoma. However, this machine doesn't include a display in its box, so you will need to buy one separately. And, of course, finding the right screen can be a pain, with manufacturers putting out all sorts of models with different price tags and sizes. For this reason, we've simplified your hunt by listing the best Mac Studio monitors you can buy right now.

There are still plenty of phones to look forward to this year, but it's time to reflect and turn the spotlight on some of the best phones available so far in 2023. In addition to flagships like the iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra to affordable flagships and best value picks like the OnePlus 11 and the "almost flagship" Pixel 7a, I am also adding budget picks and some other categories to offer a good mix of options. We here at XDA test almost every smartphone that's released to the public, so you can count on this roundup to find the right phone that suits your budget and needs. Let's dive in!

Best MacBook Pro 13 (2022) docks in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 19:01:19 GMT

The MacBook Pro 13 (2022) is one of the best Macs on the market. While its exterior body is outdated and bulky, it packs the mighty M2 chip and supports macOS Sonoma. Consequently, you can get plenty of work done through this machine while on the go. Though, unfortunately, this Apple computer only offers two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack. This will likely limit your workflow and how you utilize the included Apple silicon. Luckily, you can expand the MacBook Pro 13 (2022)'s I/O by relying on docks. To help you find an excellent pick, we've listed some of the best options currently available.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: Leaks, rumors, and what we want to see

Karthik Iyer — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 18:00:19 GMT

Samsung's foldable phones have evolved a lot over the years, and they're no longer just an expensive experiment. Both Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are two of the best foldable phones you can buy in the United States right now. That, however, doesn't mean they're flawless devices, as Samsung left the door for plenty of improvements. They're both easy to recommend compared to many others out there, but almost all of us here at XDA agreed that they were at least a generation shy of truly hitting their stride. 2023 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years for foldables, and we've already seen some big releases like the Pixel Fold and the Moto Razr+.

Brady Snyder — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 15:00:19 GMT

There are a few different models, some of which come with exorbitant price tags. If you're looking for a pair of earbuds or over-ear headphones from Apple but don't want to pay a fortune for them, Amazon's Prime Day might be the solution.

Best LG Gram (2023) cases in 2023

Ruben Circelli — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 14:30:17 GMT

LG makes a ton of lightweight laptops that oftentimes compete with some of the best laptops around, and the LG Gram line is no different. The 2023 lineup of LG Gram laptops spans across 14-inches, 15-inches, 16-inches, and 17-inches, but regardless of which Gram you pick up, the most important thing you can do with your Gram is to keep it safe with a good case.

Best iPad accessories in 2023

Cole Martin — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 14:01:18 GMT

IPads are some of the most flexible tech devices available and are widely regarded as the best tablets on the market today. When paired with the right keyboard your iPad can completely replace the need for a laptop, for example. The iPad is a prized tool for many digital artists who pair it with an Apple Pencil to create illustrations. Parents, too, often rely on iPads for the entertainment and education of their little ones. It doesn’t even need to be mentioned how useful an iPad can be in a work or school setting. If you want to make the most of your device, though, you’re going to want to throw some of your cold, hard cash at useful accessories that can help improve functionality, add a little style, and protect your investment.

Samsung and OnePlus kicked things off with their respective flagships, and we've also received some solid mid-rangers in the form of Galaxy A54 5G and Pixel 7a.

I have highlighted some of the best phones in each category in the roundup below, so check out the listings to find the one that suits your needs and budget.

Karthik Iyer — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 09:00:18 GMT

NZXT makes some of the best components in the PC hardware space including CPU liquid coolers, power supply units, motherboards, and more. It's also tough to turn a blind eye to NZXT while discussing PC cases as it makes some of the best PC cases on the market. NZXT cases are known for excellent build quality and beautiful designs with clever cable management solutions. If you looking to buy an NZXT chassis, here's my recommendations.

Best iPhone SE 3 chargers and cables in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 00:00:19 GMT

Apple's iPhone SE 3 isn't be the best iPhone available, as it packs plenty of dated technology. These include the classic chassis with thick bezels, inferior cameras, and more. Despite that, it's still safe to buy an iPhone SE 3 if you're on a budget, as it supports the latest iOS 17 and could last you for years to come. Though, you may want to know that its box does not include a charger. This means that you will have to invest in a charging brick separately. To help you make a smart purchase, we've compiled a list of the best iPhone SE 3 chargers and cables currently available.

Best motherboards in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 22:48:29 GMT

When building your own PC, one of the most important components is the motherboard. Sure, you're going to need a powerful CPU and the fastest graphics card but it's the motherboard that brings everything together. The choice of motherboard will determine what other components can be used inside your PC, including processor, storage, and even the chassis form factor. We've rounded up the best motherboards right here for Intel and AMD systems to help you make the right decision.

Best video editor apps for Android in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 22:00:11 GMT

We live in a world where short-form videos like Instagram Reels and TikTok stories have taken over social media. Thanks to all these platforms, pretty much anyone with a smartphone can become a content creator and reach millions of users. You don't necessarily need a dedicated video editor app on your phone to create videos these days. Still, it's better to rely on a dedicated video editor app compared to the built-in tools you get within those apps. Making interesting and presentable videos to retain viewership is crucial to making it big on social media, and having a dedicated video editor app will ensure you have all the essential tools and effects as opposed to the basic trimming and stitching tools.

Best screen protectors for the Motorola Razr+ in 2023

Brady Snyder — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 21:00:19 GMT

Motorola's new Razr+ is a clamshell foldable with an expansive cover screen, and that key feature might make it one of the best foldable phones in 2023. But, as a consequence, it also adds another screen that can break due to drops or scrapes. Foldable smartphones are typically more brittle than traditional ones, in part because their inner screens are made out of material more similar to soft plastic than glass. Though the Motorola Razr+ does have a cover screen made out of glass, you'll want to keep both the inner and outer screens safe.

Best Steam Deck power banks in 2023

Arif Bacchus — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 19:30:17 GMT

The Steam Deck is great for playing your favorite PC games on the go. Unlike the best gaming laptops, though, the battery is relatively small. The Steam Deck only has a 5,313 mAh battery, which in our tests, lasted us as little as two hours, and as long as eight hours, depending on the kind of games you want to play

Best AT&T phones in 2023

Pranob Mehrotra — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 19:00:05 GMT

Best iPhone 14 screen protectors in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 14:30:18 GMT

The iPhone 14 is the best iPhone for non-Pro users. While it doesn't offer all features included with the higher-end models, it still supports iOS 17 and offers a reliable, premium experience. This turns it into a future-proof investment that could last you for many years. Though, naturally, you're also expected to take good care of it to maximize its life expectancy. This includes shielding its display with a screen protector. Now, we know that hunting for the perfect product can be tiresome. So we've compiled a list of the best iPhone 14 screen protectors to help you out.

Best Chromeboxes in 2023

Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner, running from July 11–12, along with competing events from other retailers. It's a time of great deals and sales, but it's also a time when, more than ever, you'll find yourself tempted to upgrade your current laptop. But not every deal is a good deal.

Best screen protectors for the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023)

Brady Snyder — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 11:00:19 GMT

Motorola's new Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) has a display that looks great indoors, but suffers from low brightness outdoors or in direct sunlight. In our time with the Moto G Stylus 5G, we found that Motorola's latest phone with an inbuilt stylus does have glass that scratches fairly easily. Once you get a few annoying scratches on your smartphone, there's little to no recourse for fixing them. As such, it's a great idea to put a screen protector on your new Moto G Stylus 5G as soon as you get it. It's one of Motorola's best phones, so you'll want to take care of it.

Best accessories for Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 in 2023

Arif Bacchus — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 10:00:18 GMT

Then a dock gives you more ports to connect printers, USB drives, and other tech items to your new Lenovo laptop. You even can consider an external mouse and keyboard, to make typing and scrolling even easier. To help you in your buying decisions, we collected some of our favorite accessories below.

Best smartphone cameras in 2023

Brady Snyder — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 09:00:10 GMT

Picking the phone with the best camera used to be an easy exercise. In the early days of the smartphone, the iPhone's camera was leaps and bounds better than Android's offerings. Then big-name Android brands caught up, and for a couple of years in the mid-2010s, Samsung held the crown. Towards the latter part of the decade, I'd argue Google and Huawei each respectively dominated the software and hardware part of mobile photography. But starting around 2020 or so, other brands stepped up their digital imaging game by investing more resources; Apple paid more attention to computational photography, and Samsung took a page or two out of Huawei's book in terms of camera hardware.

Best iPad Pro screen protectors in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 01:00:20 GMT

Apple's iPad Pro is one of the best tablets you can buy right now, and it also represents the best of the company's iPad lineup. Apple is yet to refresh its Pro lineup for 2023, but the 2022 models come with many noteworthy upgrades over its predecessor, including one of the newer M2 chips, improved cameras, and the new Apple Pencil hover features. They also come in two sizes: a smaller one with an 11-inch panel and a relatively bigger model with a 12.9-inch display. Regardless of your pick, you get a beautiful mini-LED backlit Liquid Retina display with Apple's ProMotion technology for faster refresh rates.

Best AirPods 3 cases in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 23:00:20 GMT

The Apple AirPods 3 launched back in late 2021, introducing a cleaner design and a number of new features and technologies. These include Spatial Audio, water resistance, a longer battery life, MagSafe charging support, and more. Despite these earbuds being solid, they're still prone to get damaged. After all, accidents occur all the time, especially when you least expect them to.

Best GPUs in 2023: Our top graphics card picks

Rich Edmonds — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 21:00:20 GMT

The graphics card is responsible for handling all the rendering tasks that are too intense for the CPU alone — think rendering video or playing games. The best graphics card depends on what you need. Should you have a Full HD monitor and only play some lighter games occasionally, you could get away with buying a cheaper GPU. If you're going all-out with 4K gaming and want the very best, a flagship GPU will likely be a better choice. We've tested a whole host of graphics cards to see which is the best GPU for gaming.

Lenovo Slim Pro 9i: Price, release date and everything you need to know

Best earbuds for gaming in 2023

Jedediah Smith — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 17:00:20 GMT

When it comes to immersion, the right audio setup is crucial. Whether you’re playing with spatial audio like THX and Surround, or simply playing in stereo, a clear, accurate sound image, wide frequency range, and top-quality audio signal are a must for the most realistic, engaging gaming experience possible. Though many swear by gaming headsets to get the job done, there’s a growing market for gaming earbuds that can offer excellent audio in a more compact, ergonomic package.

Mahmoud Itani — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 14:01:18 GMT

Mahmoud Itani — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 10:01:17 GMT

While not the latest from Apple, the AirPods Pro 1 are undoubtedly among the best wireless earbuds for new iPhone users. Despite the company selling a second-gen model, the original pair still offers most of the technology included in the newer one.

Best 12.9-inch iPad Pro cases in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 21:00:19 GMT

In late 2022, Apple launched an M2-powered iPad Pro in 11-inch and 12.9-inch variants. While the 2021 iPad Pro was a significant upgrade over the 2020 model, the 2022 version only came with minor differences; this time around, the company didn't change much, apart from bumping the chip from M1 to M2 and introducing an Apple Pencil hover feature. Other than those tweaks, this tablet retains pretty much all the technical specifications of its predecessor. This means that the dimensions are identical. Thus, cases designed for the 2021 model will work perfectly on the 2022 variant and vice versa. And considering its high price tag, you really should invest in a case. Otherwise, a single drop could cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. To simplify the process for you, we've picked some of the best iPad Pro 12.9-inch cases currently available.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra may not be the latest phone on the market, but it remains one of the best in the Android space, even with the arrival of its successor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It goes all-in to provide the best smartphone experience you can get on a flagship Android device right now. It's a relatively big phone, though, so you may take some time to get used to the size if you're coming from a small-sized phone. We also recommend buying a durable case to ensure it stays protected at all times. If you're wondering which case to buy for your Galaxy S22 Ultra unit, then here are some solid options to consider.

Pranob Mehrotra — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 14:31:19 GMT

Like last year's model, Google's latest mid-ranger packs the same flagship SoC as the more premium Pixel 7 devices. But that's not the only upgrade the all-new Pixel 7a brings to the table. The device also addresses some of the gripes we had with last year's model by offering an upgraded high refresh rate display, more RAM, flagship-tier camera hardware, and wireless charging support. At $499, the Pixel 7a has the potential to be among the best cheap Android phones of 2023, and if you plan on purchasing one for yourself, I highly recommend investing in a protective case.

Rich Edmonds — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 14:00:20 GMT

Picking the best PC case for your build largely depends on the type of hardware you're going to be using, as well as styling since that's entirely subjective.

Best apps for the iPad in 2023

Brady Snyder — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 09:00:19 GMT

Apple's tablet has been stuck in a strange middle ground ever since it triumphantly declared that the iPad Pro was a computer replacement way back in 2015. That territory has become even stranger since Apple brought its impressive Apple Silicon systems-on-a-chip to the iPad in 2021. But there's no doubt that the Apple iPad is the most powerful tablet on the market today and is one of the best tablets in 2023. Even the iPad stuck right in the middle of Apple's lineup, the iPad Air, has a desktop-class chip. These things are all true, but even as Apple brings improvements with the new iPadOS 17, the tablet is held back at times by its touch-first software.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is one of the best foldable phones available and a sizable investment. Even if you find a good Galaxy Z Flip 4 deal, you’re still spending a pretty penny on this foldable phone. It’s smart to protect your new foldable phone with one of the best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 cases to extend the longevity of your smartphone. These cases range from hard and protective rugged cases that can withstand drops from up to 10 feet to stylish leather cases that can help prevent scuffing and scratching. Although Samsung strengthened the durability from the previous generation to the Flip 4, it is still more fragile compared to candy bar style smartphones like your iPhones or Galaxy S line of phones.

Best Google Pixel Fold cases in 2023

Pranob Mehrotra — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:19 GMT

Google's first foldable has turned out to be well worth the wait, as it offers a sleek and compact design, flagship-grade hardware, impressive displays, and top-notch cameras, among other things. However, you'll have to pay dearly to get your hands on it. Even though Google has cut some corners and the Pixel Fold isn't the best foldable phone on the market from a hardware standpoint, it starts at an eye-watering $1,800. If you're not dissuaded by its price and plan on ordering one soon, I highly recommend buying a durable case to protect it from scratches and accidental drops. After all, foldable phones are pretty fragile, and the extra protection can make a huge difference.

Best iPhone 14 Pro cases in 2023

Kishan Vyas — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 20:05:10 GMT

The iPhone 14 Pro is the showstopper in Apple's 2022 iPhone lineup. It's packed with a ton of exciting features and improvements over its predecessor, including a pill-shaped notch that enables Dynamic Island, an Always-On display, a powerful A16 Bionic chip, and upgraded cameras. It also uses durable materials like a ceramic shield front, stainless steel frame, and Gorilla Glass, but an accidental drop on a hard surface can leave you with a broken iPhone, forcing you to visit the Apple Store for repairs.

Pranob Mehrotra — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 19:00:18 GMT

The all-new Google Pixel 7a is a huge step up from the Pixel 6a, making it a prime contender for the best cheap Android phones in 2023. It features Google's second-gen Tensor chipset for impressive performance, more RAM for better multitasking, upgraded cameras, and wireless charging support. In addition, the Pixel 7a packs a smoother, high refresh rate display that will offer better visuals than the 60Hz panel on last year's model. Google has also improved the device's durability with an IP67 rating, but the display doesn't seem to have received the latest Gorilla Glass protection. For this reason, I highly recommend slapping a screen protector on your Pixel 7a as soon as you pull it out of the box. To help you find the right one, I've rounded up some of the best Pixel 7a screen protectors on the market.

Brady Snyder — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 14:30:18 GMT

Foldable phones are becoming more prevalent as a serious consideration for the average consumer in 2023, but up until now, it has been mostly Samsung leading the charge. There have been a ton of different foldables debuting in Asian and European markets, but the level of competing in the North American market hasn't been up to par. That is, until now. After a slew of early summer releases, Samsung now has serious threats to its big and small foldables coming from Google and Motorola, respectively. The question is, are those challenges enough to dethrone Samsung as the leader in foldable smartphones in North America?

The Pixel Tablet marks Google's return to the world of tablets, and it's a pretty interesting offering that comes with a speaker dock to let you store and charge the tablet when it's not in use. The fact that the speaker dock is included with the slab makes it more desirable for those who are looking to buy a reliable Android tablet in 2023. If you have your eyes set on the Pixel Tablet and are considering buying one for yourself as a secondary device, then I highly recommend protecting it with the right accessories to keep it in pristine condition.

Best mini-LED laptops in 2023

Cale Hunt — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 10:00:18 GMT

The best laptops with a mini-LED display can deliver a picture that goes beyond laptops using standard IPS panels, allowing you to get a better picture without using an external monitor. Mini-LED laptops aren't just for playing video games though; they can also be a huge boon for creators, developers, editors, and other professionals who need deep contrast and many local dimming zones for more accurate color. Mini-LED screens aren't quite as good as OLED when it comes to color and contrast, but mini-LED tech does allow for more brightness as well as lower response times and higher refresh rates. These laptops don't come cheap, especially because they're usually paired up with cutting-edge performance technology for gaming or professional work.

Since some of the best phones in 2023 are, in fact Android devices, that's good to keep in mind.
