Engadget Review Recap: New Pixel Devices, Meta Ray-Ban Display, ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X and More
In a flurry of reviews released over the past few weeks, Engadget's testing team has put some of the most anticipated devices to the test. The latest trio of Google Pixel devices, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a, have been scrutinized for their performance, features, and price.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, in particular, stood out as a top performer, earning an expert score of 88/100. According to Engadget's review, the device boasts "the best cameras of any flexible phone," along with improved software and multitasking capabilities. However, the reviewer noted that the device is "big and heavy" and comes with a hefty price tag of $1,799.
"We were impressed by the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's camera performance, but its high-end specs left us wanting more," said Ben Patterson, Engadget's senior editor. "The added durability thanks to the IP68 rating is a welcome feature, but it doesn't quite justify the premium price."
Other notable reviews include the Meta Ray-Ban Display, which earned an 82/100 score. The device's sleek design and seamless integration with Meta's ecosystem were praised by Engadget's reviewer, who noted that it "feels like a natural extension of your phone." However, concerns about data privacy and security were raised.
The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X also received attention from the review team, earning an 85/100 score. The device's impressive gaming performance and robust features were highlighted by Engadget's reviewer, who noted that it "sets a new standard for gaming laptops."
In addition to these reviews, Engadget's testing team has been busy evaluating other devices, including the latest Apple Watch Series 8 and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
