Summer might be in full swing, but the tech world is buzzing with new releases! From foldable phones to smart glasses and action cameras, there's something for everyone.
Engadget's been hard at work testing out all the latest gadgets, and we've got a roundup of our most recent reviews to keep you in the loop.

📱 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: Compact Powerhouse or Missed Opportunities 🤔

Samsung's latest foldable phone, the Z Flip 7, brings a stylish upgrade to the compact design. Engadget's UK bureau chief Mat Smith praises the substantial overhaul but notes some areas that need improvement.
The cameras remain unchanged from last year, and the Flex Window still needs work. However, for those seeking a pocketable powerhouse with Samsung's signature flair, the Z Flip 7 is definitely worth considering.

👓 Meta Glasses: Stepping Up the Smart Specs Game 🚀

Meta's first non-Ray-Ban smart glasses have arrived, and senior editor Karissa Bell puts them to the test. While she isn't completely sold on the Oakley Meta HSTN frames' style, she acknowledges that Meta continues to improve its glasses technology.
The upgrades deliver noticeable enhancements to core features, making these glasses a solid contender in the smart specs market.

🎥 DJI Osmo 360: A Worthy Rival to Insta360? 💪

DJI is finally giving Insta360 a run for its money in the 360-degree action cam space, according to reporter Steve Dent. The Osmo 360 boasts impressive design and performance, but the editing experience leaves something to be desired.
The DJI Studio app needs further refinement, but overall, the Osmo 360 presents a strong challenge to Insta360's dominance in this niche market.

📞 Nothing Phone 3: A "True Flagship" with Room for Improvement 😔

Nothing's first "true flagship" phone has landed, aiming to compete with giants like the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25. However, Mat Smith argues that the Nothing Phone 3 falls short due to a lower-power chip and underwhelming camera performance.
While Nothing deserves credit for its innovative approach, it needs to prioritize improving the phone's core functionalities before truly challenging the established players.

⌚ Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: The Best Yet! 🤩

Senior buying advice reporter Amy Skorheim hails the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 as "Samsung's best smartwatch in years." After two weeks of testing, she was impressed with its features and performance.
