Wow, are we here again? Already? It is almost September, think and Gizmodo Customer Technology Technology team is steady as the upcoming events are steady IFA 2025 in Berlin And Apple’s upcoming annual iPhone Extravaganza (Meta Connect in the middle of 2025!). That being said, in August we have reviewed a lot of cool gadgets that we deserve a final appearance before we dive in the first (Gulps) CES 2026 before we dive in the mouth.
ICMI (Make sure that it never happens again), I’m turning the best gadgets of this month, in which some completely unexpected entrance from Lenovo, something from Google-no-abolished Pixel 10 drops and the most powerful pair of ANC Wireless Yearbods I have been in my ears. Forest APTITE.
I know, a new pixel, big hoop, isn’t it? In some ways, the eye roll may deserve, since hardware upgrades were not the big focus this year on the new Pixel Lineup, but a lot underneath its hood is going on Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro / 10 Pro XL It may be moved to the needle in another way.
One of the ways you can guess is Geni, which is in each trick and cranny of the new Pixel 10 phones. Some of those phone-centered AIs are still finding a purpose, but as the senior editor of Gizmodo, Consumer Tech, Ray Wang mentions that the AI ​​phone has a glimpse of what may be. It may be some time until we re -training ourselves to use (if we ever do), but on paper, automatically editing photos with AI or helping Google Maps via Jemi, personalized advice is a clear change of smartphone experience. An extra telephoto camera in regular Pixel 10 is also great, but it is clear whether Google likes you or not, is completely risky on an AI-driven phone.

Ok, this is the image: a laptop, but Luwung. Not just long, however Rolled, With a screen that extends like space-ed scroll. It is thought that I love to see it in the gadget world. Perhaps this is not the most practical, but the curse is fun. See Lenovo’s ThinkBook Plus Jenner 6 Rollball You will find such a unique experience on the laptop – it is generally gadgets – and that wild experience is otherwise a strong machine with strong audio and great feeling.
It’s expensive, at $ 3,300, and battery life can be some favorite but we’re talking here. Live the long laptop long, even if it is spent on an arm and a large size leg for it and technically completely unnecessary.

I had no expectations Technics EAH-AZ100But when I put these sukars in my ears I knew they were waiting for the hi-fi yarbods. Like any high-fi audio product, they are expensive for $ 300, but when you start listening to summary of songs that you have heard 1000 times (even the spotify game compressed music), you can understand that all these extra pennies are worth it.
Fortunately, EAH-AZ100 also nails a bigger side of Wireless yarbods: Battery life. With 10 hours of life, including the cancellation of the active word, these wireless earbods outlast the parts of the midrange in a long interval and this is a good thing because once you leave these earbuds you don’t want to figure out them.

As long as we’re talking about premo audio, it is like mentioning it Sony’s new Inzone H9 IIThe This gaming headset is Sony’s great opponent WH-1000XM6 headphones In many ways, great words provide quality and comfort. Sony also took steps to improve Mike’s quality compared to the past generation, which means more clean less in games like high-pressure Counter-Strike 2. Yes, this gaming headset is expensive for $ 350, but Sony battery life (30 hours) and preset EQ options have some lack of some of the Jen-Over-Zen General.

If I like two things in gadgets and gaming it is modularity and NostalgiaAnd 8 Bitdo Pro 3 There is a spade. If you are not immediately fascinated by this controller’s gamecube-coded look, many of its customization options can do the technique.
You can transmit A, B, X, Wi buttons with colorful and gray versions and map everything to your choice. There is also a USB-C dongle for low-latitude gaming, if you are becoming really serious. Anyone who is stained by controller drift will be happy to know that it uses a repetition of effects Jystics that is quite resistant to wear and tear that causes drift in the first place. Unfortunately, you Cannot wake up Yours Switch 2 Thanks to a shift of protocol used by Nintendo, or with most third -party controllers now, but if you are looking for a great experience for Nintendo or PC, you should be on your radar.
ANC is not always the most important aspect of the earned, but sometimes it can happen. And when the word cancellation is a priority (on an aircraft with a screaming baby), you would like to want a pair of buds that work properly. Bose’s second general Quiet Comfort Ultra 2 This is exactly, and they improve the battery life of your case through wireless charging, better adapted ANC and Bose app, so you never have to be without any protection against boring words.
For $ 300, you will not get the comparable words with the aforementioned technologies EAH-AZ100, but the boss is still holding it. Also, there is a great transparent mode when you really want the world to be involved with you.

Frankly, I can’t remember an Android phone that the guy threw up Nothing does phone 3The First, there is appearance: a dividing cubist taking Nothing aesthetic Offset camera sensors that make some people mad. The price is also, which, at $ 800, people were philosophically A flagship phone even what to unpackThe
No matter where you are sitting in the spectrum – like it or hate it – no phone 3 made a statement, and even a bit like glyph matrix, although a bit intriguing, it gave us something to talk to us. If the metric creates a phone that is not boring, I would say that nothing was successful-the chipset and low-flagship camera system should be condemned.
Switch 2 is great, but how long you can play it is as great and the battery life leaves something to be desired. If you would like to extend your switch 2 battery life to go on, then Zenki’s attack vector case Do it right It is only $ 50 and it has an additional battery pack accessories that are sold at $ 70. Gizmodo Staff Writers Kyle Bar Be able to get 2.5 hours extra juice by playing the Gizmodo Staff Write Bar Cyberpunk 2077 In Handheld mode – Battery life is effectively doubled when your Zenki charging case is equipped.
You don’t want it to protect against your switch 2 drops, since it is on the thin side, but if you are looking for something that enhances you a huge battery, you will not be wrong.

Listen, I’m not personally fond of smart locks. Don’t make me mistake, I have filled my house with junk-connected outlets and lights, but with such a product my door feels like a bridge too far. That being said, there is something about a palm-scanning smart lock that feels intentionally cool. Our smart home expert Wes Davis praised TCL D2 Pro For the speed of reading and unlocking, its general installation process and its easily removable battery that can be charged via USB-C.
Wes has thrown points for a buggy setup process and its lack of support for Apple Home and Matter, though, and obviously, if you are in the winter-welcome part of the world, you will need to slide your glove to enter the lock’s-high-tech numpad or use it. Warts and all, though Palm-based smart locks are some JD magic if I ever see it.
