<![CDATA[Prime Day knocks $200 off my favorite phone of the year so far]]> I reviewed Samsung's Galaxy S23 earlier this year and called it a worthwhile upgrade for bringing some significant improvements over the S22. Truth be told, I wasn't expecting to hold on to this phone after the review because of all the phones that were coming out, but I still use it every single day. That's right, I've had the vanilla Galaxy S23 since day one, and I see myself using it as a primary device for the rest of 2023, or at least until I find something worthy of replacing it. I've recommended this phone to a lot of people so far, but now is one of the best times to grab it as it's $200 cheaper than its usual price for Prime Day.

Google's multitasking options have been lacking in recent years, but they've spent time designing software for their first foldable phone to take advantage of the expanded space better. Part of the reason for this is that Android is optimized for smaller screens, so you don't need specialized features designed for larger displays. However, realizing that the Pixel Fold needed a different solution, Google designed a Taskbar for one of the best foldable phones in 2023. By using the Taskbar, you can launch applications, switch between apps, and activate split-screen view.

<![CDATA[Best iPad accessories in 2023]]> IPads are some of the most flexible tech devices available and are widely regarded as the best tablets on the market today.

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.

<![CDATA[How to unzip files on Android through third-party apps]]> Archive files are used to compress files and folders. These are very useful when you're transferring files between devices and want to do it quickly, as compressed files take up less storage space than uncompressed files and can be transferred quicker.

<![CDATA[Best iPhone SE 3 chargers and cables in 2023]]> 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.

<![CDATA[Best video editor apps for Android in 2023]]> 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.

<![CDATA[Best screen protectors for the Motorola Razr+ in 2023]]> 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.

<![CDATA[Android 14 beta tracker: List of major phones getting the latest update]]> Android 14 picked up the "beta" tag a while ago on Google Pixel devices, but that doesn't mean the non-Google phone you’re carrying in your pocket will get the same treatment anytime soon. This is because, unlike Apple, Google allows other OEMs to customize Android and ship their phones with various skins, which naturally takes time to develop and evaluate whenever a new version of the operating system is about to release.
