Engadget’s latest roundup highlights fresh reviews across smartphones, wearables, cameras, and gaming laptops. The hub covers the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Meta’s inaugural smart glasses, DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P, Canon’s EOS R6 V, and Alienware’s first budget gaming laptop, the Alienware 15.

Samsung’s trio of foldables now includes the Z Fold 8, a shorter, wider model that prioritizes gaming and video. Reviewer Sam Rutherford praises its refined design, calling it “brilliant” and wishing the Ultra line matched its approach.

Meta’s first non‑collaborative glasses offer a lower price but feel less polished. Karissa Bell notes prescription options and sporty Oakley variants are better, yet Meta’s own gear remains a solid value. DJI pushes the Pocket 4P with dual lenses, but U.S. availability is limited, and the price is inflated. Canon delivers stellar RAW video on the EOS R6 V, though photography is secondary, making it ideal for vloggers.

Alienware’s new budget model, the Alienware 15, balances cost with performance amid rising component prices. Despite a less impressive screen and webcam, the device delivers solid gaming and is a worthwhile option for those who can afford a modest upgrade.
