Apple has covered its new iPhone 12 with a brand-new type of glass called “ceramic shield,” which it says is the toughest glass ever on a smartphone. Every year Apple makes a similar claim about its glass, but this time may be different because this is no ordinary glass. While it may look and feel exactly like glass, …

I had high hopes for the new Samsung Galaxy S21 phones phones going into our drop test, even though Galaxy phones haven’t been the most durable in our previous tests.

But Polar’s $90 optical heart-rate tracker can track different types of activities from (almost) anywhere on your body, as long as it’s pressed firmly against your skin.  It’s small, syncs quickly with …

The iPhone 12 Mini is a tough phone to crack. We’ve already drop tested the 6.1-inch iPhone 12, but we decided to do it all over again with the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini to see if the smaller phone yielded different results. Mainly, we wanted to see if we could break the screen. Spoiler: We didn’t, but we managed to …

The Apple Watch SE is the best value smartwatch you can buy and has been awarded CNET’s Editors’ Choice for 2020. It doesn’t have the advanced health sensors that the Series 6 offers, or the always-on display, but it has everything else we love about Apple Watch for a lot less.   8.5 Apple Watch SE $249 at Amazon Get …

Apple has given us a not so subtle reminder to get moving with Fitness Plus, the new service that gives you all types of guided workouts to do at home, or wherever you want. Costing $10 (£10, AU$15) a month, or $80 (£80, AU$120) a year, Fitness Plus streams directly from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV and uses the …

The Apple Watch is about to give you an honest review of your fitness levels. At a time when a lot of us are working from home or don’t have access to gyms, fitness trackers like the Apple Watch have been helping us keep tabs on how much (or how little) exercise we’ve been doing on a daily basis. Now …

With much of the world stuck at home due to coronavirus restrictions, it seems like Apple planned the perfect time to launch Fitness Plus, its $10 a month subscription service with all kinds of workouts ranging from dance to yoga, that you can do from just about anywhere. The launch timing however, was sheer coincidence, as the idea behind Fitness …

Samsung went all-out for the Note 20 Ultra, putting a powerful camera and gorgeous screen in its most premium design yet with what Samsung claims is the strongest glass ever used on a phone. It’s the first phone, and the only one of Samsung’s new line-up to have the latest Gorilla Glass Victus on both the front and back which …
