Arlo Video Doorbell

Image
Two-minute review Dollar for dollar, the Arlo Video Doorbell is probably the best video doorbell out there. While it is pricier than the standard Ring Video Doorbell , it offers a higher resolution and smarter features, and it’s significantly cheaper than the Ring Video Doorbell Pro , despite offering a similar camera quality and feature-set.  If you already have other Arlo devices, the Video Doorbell is a no-brainer - but even if not, it’s our favorite option on the market. Of course, while it beats the Ring Video Doorbell Pro in price, it doesn’t undercut the standard Ring Video Doorbell - so if you’re really on a budget and don’t mind taking a slight hit in some smart features and video quality, that's still a great option. It’s also not worth considering the Arlo Video Doorbell unless you’re willing to subscribe to the Arlo Smart subscription. The subscription doesn’t cost much, but not everyone is willing to deal with a monthly fee. And, if you’re a HomeKit user, you’ll ...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2

Image
Two-minute review Calling the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 as the best foldable device would be a gross disservice to everything it manages to achieve. Even in its current form, it more than proves that foldables will not only be a lot more mainstream but also that the future might not be that far away. As a person that goes through dozens of smartphones each year, the Z Fold 2 was really the only phone whose honeymoon period had to be measured in days and not hours. We’d go as far as saying that it is the only foldable worth getting if your budget permits that. Even with all its quirks and shortcomings, it quintessentially gives us a glimpse at the future of smartphones — a period where they are not held back by their physical limitations. Weeks later, I think I am still not over the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. Owing to the unique nature of the device, our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review will focus on the aspects that are significantly different with this form factor and try to answer...
