Razr Ultra, AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE And More

It’s as hot as the surface of the sun here in the southeast US, and we have another batch of freshly baked reviews for you. If you missed any of our team’s in-depth testing over the past two weeks, read on for a full rundown of all our latest impressions on a foldable phone, an affordable GPU, headphones, and more.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Motorola has turned its iconic Razr Phone into a set of foldables. Now on to the second edition of the Razer Ultra, the company hasn’t made enough of an effort to justify an expensive follow-up. Writer Sam Rutherford said, “With Samsung expected to announce a new Z Flip before the end of the summer, buying the Razr Ultra at full price right now feels like a trap.” “It’s a nice phone, I just wish it cost less.”

It’s not a good time to buy a GPU, but AMD has a unique solution for budget constraints. With the RX 9070 GRE, the company offers older technology for less money, but you’ll have to make some sacrifices for it. Author Devindra Hardawar said, “Given the times we’re in, I can’t lightly recommend that you go out and buy the Radeon RX 9070 GRE.” “But if you’re in desperate need of an upgrade, and you can’t wait until next year, this is a solid option for midrange 1440p gaming.”

Honor launched the Magic V5 in August last year, but it announced the Magic V6 in March. Editor Daniel Cooper argues that the company looked for a successor to maintain its claim to the world’s thinnest foldable. “The tragedy of this device is that you can create an issue with the UI design or the software and expect to be caught during the QA period,” he said. “Some of these would be excusable in a cheaper handset, but not in an ultra-premium flagship of this caliber.”

Although over-ear ANC headphones are plentiful, noise-canceling on-ear headphones are much more rare. Marshall has taken a fresh approach to the on-ear formula, balancing its product line with distraction-free Milton ANC. Author James True said, “The legacy of the popular Major line has clearly been put to good use here to create on-ear headphones for the more discerning listener.” “The ANC capabilities are strong for the form-factor, even if they are over-ears so they could be considered more mid-pack.”

Is a folding mouse the best travel accessory? For a certain group of people, Logitech’s Mobi Fold may prove that answer is “yes.”

“I’m faster and more productive when using a physical mouse, and I’m willing to take it with me as long as it doesn’t add too much weight to things,” Sam said. “And with the Mobi Fold, Logitech has created one of the most travel-friendly pointers on the market.”

While we wait for the opportunity for extended testing, you can read some early impressions from behind the wheel of Rivian’s R2 SUV. “[The] Author Tim Stevens said, “The R2 is largely a standard SUV, but it proved capable and comfortable in all conditions.” In other words, there’s no secondary meltdown here, and now I’m even more excited about the R3X.”
