The Air 2S, DJI's successor to the popular Mavic Air 2 is here and it adds a lot of camera muscle at the same price.

Posted: 15 Apr 2021 05:47 AM PDT

The Axon 30 Ultra arrives with a surprise – it will be sold in the US and Canada.

Those aren't coming to North America, in fact, the vanilla model was barely mentioned at the presentation – all we know is that it will have an under display camera.

Posted: 14 Apr 2021 04:05 PM PDT

Earlier this month, Lenovo made the Legion Duel 2 gaming smartphone official, and Zack from JerryRigEverything promptly decided to subject it to his now-trademark "durability test". The result was rather shocking, as the Duel 2 easily snapped in three parts during the bend test. Today Zack's back with a teardown video of the phone, hoping to see what on the inside explains the snapping in pieces. Before we get to that, though, the usual way of getting inside applies - heat plus razorblade. The back glass comes out in thirds, which isn't that surprising considering how the phone...
