  The iPhone 12 Mini has everything the iPhone 12 has in a smaller size. There’s the OLED display, 5G wireless, IP68 rating for dust and water, MagSafe compatibility and other good features.

  Smoking soundbar deal: TCL Alto 8 Plus with Fire TV for just $70 (Update: Sold out)

  

  You probably already know this (because I’ve said it several thousand times), but I’ll wager you have a friend or relative who needs to hear it: Watching TV without a soundbar is an insult to your ears.

  ZenFone 8 review: Asus’ small but mighty phone hits the mark

  

  Asus is betting a small phone will make a big impact. It bills its new midrange ZenFone 8 as the “ultimate compact Android phone.” The ZenFone 8 has a crisp 5.9-inch AMOLED display, respectable battery life, dependable cameras, stereo speakers, and powerful internals that by some measures rivals the $1,200 Galaxy S21 Ultra’s performance. All this is crammed into a …

  Amazon Echo Buds 2 review: More for your money

  

  The true-wireless earbud arena is a crowded market these days. So what do Amazon’s second-gen noise-canceling Echo Buds ($120, £120) bring to the table that would make you buy them over competing models in their price range?
