I've had Even Realities G1 for a while, and while I really like the style and the displays, it was harder to interact with them than I'd like. These look to fix that and improve an already excellent design. I'm hoping to have a review unit soon!

The visual appeal of this phone has grown on me significantly, and I think it looks better in person than in pictures. What hasn't grown on me are the stupid, uncomfortable flat sides. My GOSH I hate this design trend. Hate hate, double hate, loathe entirely.

Oakley Meta Vanguard is finally here! They're the most unique smart/AI glasses on the market thanks to the rugged style, centered camera, IP67 protection, and Garmin integration. Michael Hicks for AC says they're "basically the Ultra smartwatch" of the smart glasses category.

Anyone ever use one of these gaming pillows for a Steam Deck or Switch 2? I'm considering picking one up as a more permanent solution versus just piling up a bunch of pillows on the couch.

E readers are so amazing. Reading Project Hail Mary on the BigMe HighBreak Pro on a long drive back home. Really impressed with this as an E Ink phone and easily the best one I've used so far. Feels like a regular Android phone with a paper display.

Can't get to that floating island? Grab a bunch of dirt and build a bridge! It feels like Minecraft freedom crammed into the best kind of 3D platformer. My gosh it's SO good!

Now, with Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo lets players almost completely dismantle an entire world to explore. Is there treasure in that mountain? DESTROY IT! Maybe a giant banana gem is hiding somewhere below you? DIG DIG DIG. Incredible! No other platformer allows this freedom.

I love how Nintendo constantly changes paradigms in big "reboot" releases. When BotW came out, suddenly you could go anywhere, climb anything, fly when you wanted. It ruined other open world games for me. Totally spoiled the player and gave true navigational freedom.

I'm so over Switch 2 sensationalism. No, Nintendo didn't already hit the limits of the Switch 2 hardware. This is how every console cycle works. In 7 years we'll have something twice as complex as Bananza and go HOW DOES THIS RUN ON THIS HARDWARE?!?!?

"My demo started fairly early on in Marvel's Deadpool VR storyline, with Deadpool's head being studied by an evil scientist on a stolen helicarrier before you control his headless body to kill the scientist and free yourself."
Yeah, this sounds amazing.

These feature a monocular display — meaning the display is only present in the right glasses lens, not both lenses — which gives them an even more holographic quality since only one eye can see the display.

Michael Hicks is on the show floor for Android Central and got to demo the new Google smart glasses! These are a reference prototype developed by Samsung and Google to help developers design for the platform, so it's a general idea of what you can expect from a final product.

Project Moohan might be the first Android XR headset launching later this year, but Xreal will be right behind it with a pair of tethered XR glasses in a familiar form factor. While we don't know exactly how they'll work just yet, the company has teased some functionality.

Yes, you can pet the T-Rex in the Walkabout Mini Golf's new Raptor Cliff's course. (No, that's not a typo.)

April Fools' jokes are often fleeting, but DBrand's is an actual product this year. The company is taking the "touch grass" meme to a new level, and, quite frankly, it's hilarious.
