A 4-in-1 bottle washer/sterilizer, it&#8217;ll save her so much time cleaning bottles, pump parts, and anything else that could come in contact with the baby&#8217;s mouth.

Or, perhaps she&#8217;s the one holding down the home front, making sure everything runs like clockwork. In either case, I can&#8217;t think of a better gift than the <a href="https://amzn.to/3Eg1PpR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Garmin Lily 2 Active</a>. It&#8217;s packed with women&#8217;s health features, including hydration and menstrual tracking—so she can keep healthy while running the world.</p>

46. <p>For new moms, washing and sterilizing bottles, pump parts, pacifiers, and teething toys is a time-consuming endeavor. Make it easier for her with the Grownsy EaseClean Bottle Washer Pro. As a 4-in-1 gadget, it washes, sterilizes, dries, and stores. This saves time and hassle since it handles all steps of the cleaning process—at just the touch of a button.</p>
47.  
48.  
49.  
50. <p>I love the 9 cleaning modes. Users can choose from Quick Wash, Standard Wash, Sterilize, and Dry &amp; Storage. Even better, moms can expect 72 hours of sterile storage thanks to the built-in HEPA filter—because why leave something like that to chance? Meanwhile, the large, double-layer design ensures she gets more washed at once. Total win! </p>

70. <p>But what really makes this purifying water dispenser stand out is its 5-stage filtration. It removes TDS, lead, PFOA, PFOS, and more with its 0.0001μm RO membrane and UV sterilization. Add to that instant hot and cold water dispensing, and you&#8217;ve got a gift that will really make Mom&#8217;s life easier and healthier. </p>

Ensure she understands what a superstar she is by giving her the <a href="https://amzn.to/3Eg1PpR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Garmin Lily 2 Active</a>. Petite and stylish, it helps her get a better understanding of her body by tracking sleep, Body Battery, respiration, hydration, menstrual cycle, and much more. She always has her eyes on everyone else, so why shouldn&#8217;t she have a snapshot of her own health on her wrist?</p>
87.  
88.  
89.  
90. <p>Sports-wise, the watch tracks outdoor activities thanks to its built-in GPS. Plus, it has sports apps for yoga, cardio, pilates, dance, golf, etc., so she can get the most out of her exercise. Smart notifications and calls keep her connected when the watch is paired with her phone. It&#8217;s one of my favorite gadgets for mums. </p>

This streamlined yet elegant mug keeps Mom&#8217;s coffee to the exact temperature she sets for up to 1.5 hours or all day if left on the charging coaster.</p>

It senses when to turn heating element on and off, for peace of mind—because dealing with devices is the last thing you&#8217;re thinking about when wrangling little ones. Also, this mug comes in a palette of beautiful colors and finishes so there&#8217;s sure to be one your mom will love.</p>

284. <p>Over the past 6 months, something unexpected happened—ChatGPT became my go-to shopping buddy. It started when I was hunting for a new <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/product/dream-pocket-hair-dryer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hairdryer</a> and getting nowhere (I&#8217;m particular about my beauty routine). Out of frustration, I asked ChatGPT to help. To my surprise, the suggestions were spot-on! Ever since, I&#8217;ve kept the AI chatbot open in my browser tab when I shop online.</p>
285.  
286.  
287.  
288. <p>So, when I heard rumors this week about OpenAI teaming up with Shopify, I wasn&#8217;t exactly shocked. And then, when the news was confirmed on Wednesday, it felt like the rest of the internet was finally catching up. It&#8217;s only natural that the AI, while making stellar product recommendations, can also help people make faster purchases.</p>
289.  
290.  
291.  
292. <p>The integrations are rolling out this week. What do they include and how good are they? Let&#8217;s go over where we are now with the ChatGPT x Shopify integration and what it means for the future of online shopping. </p>

317.  
318.  
319.  
320. <p>After nearly a week of rumors, OpenAI announced Wednesday on LinkedIn that it wanted to make shopping easier and products faster to find. To make it happen, the company said it improved product search results to include product pictures, pricing, and reviews. Suggested products would have a buy now link right inside ChatGPT!</p>
321.  
322.  
323.  
324. <p>That might sound small, but it&#8217;s a huge useability shift. It puts product discovery and purchase into one conversation, on one platform. Say goodbye to copy/pasting product names, and manually comparing specs and prices. ChatGPT&#8217;s handling all of that now.</p>
325.  
326.  
327.

332. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-it-matters-to-shoppers-especially-me">Why it Matters to Shoppers (Especially Me)</h2>
333.  
334.  
335.  
336. <p>As a working mom, shopping is one of my biggest hassles. I&#8217;ve spent hours researching the perfect gift for a bilingual 8-year-old who loves history. And I&#8217;ve probably spent days shopping for a 5-year-old&#8217;s summer wardrobe that&#8217;s affordable, stylish, and durable. But it was time I could have used for other things—like getting a nap or going for a run.</p>
337.  
338.  
339.  
340. <p>These are the types of queries ChatGPT hopes to tackle and make faster—leading to more sales and a happy customer base. I, for one, am totally ready for an easier shopping experience. We all thought online shopping would save time when it launched in the mid 90s. But, in reality, the never-ending options just tack on more hours and more indecision. This could be the optimization we&#8217;ve been waiting for. </p>
341.  
342.  
343.  
344. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-it-matters-to-sellers">Why it Matters to Sellers</h2>
345.  
346.  
347.  
348. <p>Of course, shoppers aren&#8217;t the only ones who will benefit from the partnership. A Shopify x ChatGPT experience gives sellers access to AI-powered customer engagement with minimal setup. It can also make smarter upsales via conversation, significantly widening profit margins.</p>
349.  
350.  
351.  
352. <p>And, the first sellers to adopt the integration would be the biggest winners. They&#8217;d stand out in a flooded e-commerce space. So if you&#8217;re a maker of handmade bags that use only recycled materials, you might have an easier time reaching customers. Likewise, if you&#8217;re one of the few eBike companies working with ChatGPT, customers will find you in a snap. </p>
353.  
354.  
355.  
356. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-chatgpt-shopping-first-impressions">ChatGPT Shopping: First Impressions</h2>
357.  
358.  
359.  
360. <p>The shopping improvements are rolling out this week, and they&#8217;re open for Plus, Pro, Free, and logged-out ChatGPT users everywhere. So pretty much everyone can take advantage of new features.</p>
361.  
362.  
363.  
364. <p>So, what are they?</p>
365.  
366.  
367.  
368. <p>A video on OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/openai_search-has-become-one-of-our-most-popular-activity-7322742656608980992-e4QI?utm_source=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_medium=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_campaign=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn announcement</a> shows someone searching for an espresso machine for under $200 that brews similar to coffee served in Italy. It&#8217;s a specific order, one that—until yesterday—would have taken some superior internet sleuthing skills. But ChatGPT immediately responds with a roll of products and their prices, similar to what you see after searching for products on Amazon. </p>
369.  
370.  
371.  
372. <p>ChatGPT explains why these products were selected, and the user can click on each product to access reviews and product summaries. What&#8217;s more, the user doesn&#8217;t get just one buy now link a store, but multiple ones —each labled with their price.   </p>
373.  
374.  
375.  
376. <p>I tried it out myself this morning. Because I&#8217;m prepping for Father&#8217;s Day (for both my dad and the hubs), I asked ChatGPT for a list of the best 2025 golfing gadgets. It gave me a roll of products like the one from the LinkedIn video. The products matched what I was looking for and I could visit their buy now with a simple click in the ChatGPT platform.  </p>
377.  
378.  
379.  
380. <p>I did notice that the first product rolls weren&#8217;t as visually pleasing as I&#8217;d like. I&#8217;d have preferred something larger and easier to see on my screen. Also, I noticed that the feature disappeared for me by the afternoon, so I couldn&#8217;t test it again before publishing this article. </p>
381.  
382.  
383.  
384. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-chatgpt-x-shopify-pros-and-cons">ChatGPT x Shopify: Pros and Cons</h2>
385.  
386.  
387.  
388. <p>Ok, so while the Shopify x ChatGPT integration saves tons of hassle-y time shopping, my concern is privacy—and the potential ad industry that might come out of this. Say you&#8217;re looking for the best kettles to gift your tea-loving Aunt Suzy. Would ChatGPT really give you a list of top-reviewed, well-rated kettles… or just the ones that paid to be there?</p>
389.  
390.  
391.  
392. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pro: Smarter, Streamlined Shopping</h3>
393.  
394.  
395.  
396. <p>Let’s start with the good. This could seriously cut down on decision fatigue. I’ve spent way too much time sorting through tabs, reading Reddit threads, comparing Amazon reviews, and checking TikTok for “mom-approved” toys. With this integration, ChatGPT could locate exactly what I need—a great book to read aloud to a kindergartener— in a fraction of the time.</p>
397.  
398.  
399.  
400. <p>Even better? The whole &#8220;shop directly from ChatGPT&#8221; idea means fewer clicks, less jumping between apps, and more buys I (probably) won’t regret later. It’s basically a virtual personal shopper who doesn’t try to upsell you at checkout.</p>
401.  
402.  
403.  
404. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Con: Privacy &amp; Commercial Influence</h3>
405.  
406.  
407.  
408. <p>But here’s where things get murky. If ChatGPT becomes the place we shop, our data becomes more valuable than ever. It already knows what you&#8217;re searching for, your budget, your taste preferences, even who you&#8217;re shopping for. That’s a marketer’s dream.</p>
409.  
410.  
411.  
412. <p>And then what&#8217;s stopping advertisers from using the platform from to prioritize promoted products over highly-rated ones? We&#8217;ve already watched this happen with Google—where the first few results are often ads, not the most helpful answers. If ChatGPT becomes a recommendation engine for whoever bids highest, it’ll lose the trust it’s built with users who rely on it for honest help.</p>
413.  
414.  
415.  
416. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is There a Middle Ground?</h3>
417.  
418.  
419.  
420. <p>Maybe. If OpenAI and Shopify are transparent—labeling which links are sponsored, for instance—that would go a long way in building user trust. Personally, I’d be fine with a few promoted results if the core recommendations are high-quality. </p>
421.  
422.  
423.  
424. <p>Maybe what we need is an “AI trust score” or a visual tag for sponsored listings. Something to help us tell the difference between helpful AI and helpful-for-the-brand AI.</p>
425.  
426.  
427.  
428. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-final-thoughts">Final Thoughts</h2>
429.  
430.  
431.  
432. <p>As someone who uses ChatGPT to shop smarter, I want this feature to work—but not at the cost of trust and privacy. If OpenAI and Shopify get this right, it could make online shopping faster and actually useful again. If not, it risks becoming just another algorithm trying to sell us stuff we don’t need.</p>

445. <p>There’s something about Mother’s Day that makes us pause and think: What do moms really want? The answer is usually not flowers or chocolates—it’s peace of mind, a healthier lifestyle for their families, and a bit of everyday ease. That’s exactly why <a href="https://gflo.us/BD84CC91" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Waterdrop Filter</a> is on my radar this year. Not just as a thoughtful gift, but as a total lifestyle upgrade.</p>

453.  
454.  
455. <p>Waterdrop isn’t just another water filtration brand—it’s a quiet revolution in how we hydrate. Their wide range of products covers just about every setting: kitchens, offices, RVs, gyms, even skincare and gardening setups. And with sleek, no-fuss designs plus high-performance filtration, they’re making it clear: water filtration isn’t just a utility—it’s an essential part of how we live well.</p>
456.  
457.  
458.  
459. <p>Let’s take a closer look at three standout products that are doing a whole lot more than just filtering water. They&#8217;re reimagining what hydration looks like for modern living.</p>
460.  
461.  
462.  
463. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-waterdrop-a2-countertop-reverse-osmosis-system"><strong>1. Waterdrop A2 Countertop Reverse Osmosis System</strong></h2>
464.  
465.  
466.  
467. <p><strong>For people who want smart hydration with zero hassle.</strong></p>
468.  
469.  
470.  
471. <p>Let’s start with my personal favorite: the <a href="https://gflo.us/B082CZV16X" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A2 Countertop RO Hot &amp; Cold Water Dispenser</a>. It’s the kind of product that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it. With a sleek, installation-free design, this system brings filtered hot and cold water right to your fingertips—no plumbing, no drilling, no headaches.</p>
472.  
473.  
474.  
475. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="533" src="https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-a2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-689981" srcset="https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-a2.jpg 800w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-a2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-a2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-a2-450x300.jpg 450w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-a2-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Waterdrop A2 Countertop Reverse Osmosis System</figcaption></figure>
476.  
477.  
478.  
479. <p>But don’t let the convenience fool you. This little unit packs a serious punch. Its 5-stage filtration system, including a 0.0001μm RO membrane and UV sterilization, goes above and beyond—removing everything from TDS and chlorine to fluoride, lead, arsenic, and more. This is water that tastes clean, feels clean, and <em>is</em> clean.</p>
480.  
481.  
482.  
483. <p>And then there’s the smart touch screen. With six temperature settings (yes, you can finally dial in that perfect 130°F for your green tea) and five customizable volume presets, the A2 doesn’t just deliver hydration—it personalizes it. The 40oz removable water pitcher is a nice touch, too. Take it to your desk, your yoga mat, or your RV—hydration goes where you do.</p>
484.  
485.  
486.  
487. <p>It’s also an eco-friendly win. With a 3:1 pure-to-waste water ratio and easy filter replacements, it saves on bottled water, reduces plastic waste, and keeps maintenance to a minimum. Moms love low-effort, high-impact wins—and this is one of them.</p>
488.  
489.  
490.  
491. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-waterdrop-x12-under-sink-ro-system"><strong>2. Waterdrop X12 Under-Sink RO System</strong></h2>
492.  
493.  
494.  
495. <p><strong>For families upgrading their home for the long haul.</strong></p>
496.  
497.  
498.  
499. <p>Now, if you’re thinking bigger—like full-family coverage in a sleek, under-sink setup—the X12 is where it’s at. It’s the newer sibling of Waterdrop’s top-rated X16 and brings just as much power in a compact form. With a massive 1200 GPD (gallons per day) capacity and a tankless design, the <a href="https://gflo.us/waterdropfilterA1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X12</a> delivers an endless supply of clean water on demand. No waiting, no bulk, just high-speed hydration.</p>
500.  
501.  
502.  
503. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="533" src="https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-x12-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-689982" srcset="https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-x12-1.jpg 800w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-x12-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-x12-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-x12-1-450x300.jpg 450w, https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/waterdrop-filter-mothers-day-blog-x12-1-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Waterdrop X12 Under-Sink RO System</figcaption></figure>
504.  
505.  
506.  
507. <p>But where this unit really shines is its 11-stage filtration. Yes, <em>eleven</em>. That includes a 0.0001μm RO membrane with 16-layer composite filters and SGS-tested performance to tackle TDS, PFAS, fluoride, arsenic—you name it. And here&#8217;s a nice surprise: it <em>adds</em> back healthy alkaline minerals like calcium and magnesium, with a pH of 7.5± for that smooth, clean taste we all crave.</p>
508.  
509.  
510.  
511. <p>The smart faucet is a showstopper too. It’s digital, displays TDS levels in real time, and even lets you select the water output amount. Whether you’re filling up a pot for soup or just grabbing a glass to go, it’s smart, responsive, and oh-so-satisfying to use.</p>
512.  
513.  
514.  
515. <p>And just like the A2, it’s built with sustainability in mind. The 3:1 efficiency ratio saves water, and the filters last up to 24 months—less waste, less fuss, more value. Perfect for families remodeling, upgrading appliances, or just wanting healthier living without the plastic bottle clutter.</p>
516.  
517.  
518.  
519. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-waterdrop-c1h-countertop-ro-system"><strong>3. Waterdrop C1H Countertop RO System</strong></h2>
520.  
521.  
522.  
523. <p><strong>For renters, minimalists, or anyone short on space—but not on standards.</strong></p>
524.  
525.  
526.  
527. <p>Don’t have room for under-sink systems or big filters? The <a href="https://gflo.us/waterdropfilterA2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">C1H</a> is the answer. This compact, plug-and-play countertop RO purifier delivers 5-stage filtration and <em>instant</em> hot water in just 3 seconds. Whether you’re making tea, coffee, or just filling up your favorite bottle before hitting the gym, it’s ready when you are.</p>
528.  
529.  
530.  
531. <p>Despite its size, the C1H is mighty. Its 5-stage RO filtration is certified NSF/ANSI 372 lead-free and independently tested by SGS. It knocks out the usual suspects—TDS, chlorine, fluoride, lead, arsenic, and more—with impressive reliability.</p>
532.

539. <p>And thanks to its digital display, you can see real-time water quality and filter life, which is both reassuring and practical. You get five temperature options, five water volumes, and the ability to save your favorite settings. Plus, the 3:1 pure water ratio means you’re saving water with every use.</p>
540.  
541.  
542.  
543. <p>The best part? No installation. No need to drill, unscrew, or compromise your rental deposit. This is countertop convenience done right—and that makes it a no-brainer for apartments, offices, and busy parents who need safe, hot water in an instant.</p>

548.  
549.  
550.  
551. <p>Let’s step back for a moment. What do all three of these systems really offer? Convenience, safety, sustainability—and above all—confidence.</p>
552.  
553.  
554.  
555. <p>This Mother’s Day, gifting a Waterdrop Filter product is more than a nice gesture. It’s an investment in better health, better habits, and better living. Clean water touches everything—our food, our skincare, our energy levels, even how we sleep. And when it&#8217;s filtered at a higher standard, you <em>feel</em> the difference.</p>
556.  
557.  
558.  
559. <p>Waterdrop is changing how we think about hydration. It’s no longer something that happens automatically from a tap—it’s something we can optimize, customize, and even celebrate. And that shift is exactly what makes this brand one to watch (and one to gift).</p>
560.  
561.  
562.  
563. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-final-thoughts">Final Thoughts</h2>
564.  
565.  
566.  
567. <p>If you’re shopping for the moms in your life—or just for yourself—Waterdrop Filter checks all the right boxes. Practical? Absolutely. Thoughtful? 100%. But more than that, it delivers something we all want a little more of: peace of mind, every time we fill our glass.</p>
568.  
569.  
570.  
571. <p>So whether you go with the portable and stylish A2, the high-powered X12 for your full family setup, or the compact and clever C1H, you’re not just giving filtered water. You’re giving a little more ease, a little more wellness, and a whole lot of daily joy.</p>
572.  
573.  
574.  
575. <p>Clean water is love made practical—and this <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/mothers-day-gift-ideas/page/4/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mother’s Day</a>, that’s exactly the kind of gift that speaks volumes.</p>

588. <p>Every year, flagship phones feel like they&#8217;re stuck on repeat—slightly better cameras, slightly faster charging. But nothing groundbreaking. That’s why I found the&nbsp;Motorola razr 60 ultra review&nbsp;especially fun to write. <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/brand/motorola/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Motorola</a>’s bringing real personality back into the game with its razr ultra 2025, and yeah, the whole flip phone vibe still has my attention.</p>
589.  
590.  
591.  
592. <p>The razr 60 ultra takes inspiration from the legendary razr V3 (the one Paris Hilton loved in pink)—with a modern twist. The whole lineup doesn’t just look different—it&nbsp;<em>feels</em>&nbsp;different, with some of the wildest material choices I’ve seen on a smartphone. But style isn’t all the razr 60 has going for it. What won me over is the battery performance. I don’t want to lug around chargers or backup batteries just to get through the day.&nbsp;Luckily, the 60 ultra handles a full day without blinking. Wondering how it stacks up against the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip6/?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Z Flip6</a>? Let’s get into the details.</p>

601.  
602.  
603.  
604. <p>Folding phones usually don’t go head-to-head with traditional flagships when it comes to specs, not for the same price, at least. If I’m paying extra, though, I expect to get something special out of it. The <a href="https://www.motorola.com/us/en/p/phones/razr/razr-ultra/pmipmhn40ms?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">razr 60 ultra</a> (<strong>$1,399</strong>) delivers, showing off a mix of premium materials and finishes you won&#8217;t find anywhere else.</p>
605.  
606.  
607.  
608. <p>Motorola’s no stranger to offering unique finishes, but the razr 60 ultra pushes things even further. You’ve got 4 awesome options: Pantone Rio Red, Pantone Scarab, Pantone Cabaret, and Pantone Mountain Trail. </p>
609.  
610.  
611.  
612. <p>That Mountain Trail version? It&#8217;s a throwback to the old Moto X days. The razr ultra 2025 rocks a <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/all-things-wood/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wood</a> back made from responsibly sourced materials. The wood isn’t teak, but the finish still looks stunning, especially with the golden trim around the edges. Honestly, wood and leather just look better than anything else you can put on a phone.</p>
613.  
614.  
615.  
616. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-durability">Durability</h3>
617.  
618.  
619.  
620. <p>Motorola didn’t just stop at looks, either. They also toughened up the design. The razr 60 ultra uses a new <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355675194_Analysis_of_the_Impact_of_Foldable_Mobile_Phones_Design_on_People's_Lives?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">titanium-reinforced hinge</a> and has an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. </p>
621.  
622.  
623.  
624. <p>Basically, an <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652620354342?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IP48 rating</a> means the razr 60 ultra can block out particles as small as about 0.04 inches. It can also survive being dunked in water up to about 5 feet deep for around 30 minutes. That’s on par with what you’d get from the Galaxy Z Flip6.</p>
625.  
626.  
627.  
628. <p>From what I’ve read, people don’t necessarily worry about folding phones breaking. It’s more about wanting peace of mind—knowing their phone can handle messy or unpredictable situations. Some Galaxy Z Flip owners wouldn’t pull it out at the beach unless their hands were spotless. Others ended up switching back to regular smartphones because they wanted something sturdier, with a wider screen.</p>

637.  
638.  
639.  
640. <p>Motorola’s still on top with its flip phone displays. The outer cover display sticks with a slick 4-inch, 165Hz pOLED that’s super vibrant. Meanwhile, the inner AMOLED screen grows just a tad to 7 inches, also featuring a smooth 165Hz.</p>
641.  
642.  
643.  
644. <p>That outer screen? Still bright, bold, and super fun to use. Now it cranks up to 3,000 nits, so even under direct sunlight, videos and apps pop. Usually, watching videos on your phone in public can feel a bit like you&#8217;re glued to it—but with the <a href="https://www.motorola.com/us/en/p/phones/razr/razr-ultra/pmipmhn40ms?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">razr 60 ultra</a>, that feeling fades. You can scroll or stream without zoning out from everything else around you. It’s like multitasking between the real world and your digital one.</p>
645.  
646.  
647.  
648. <p>Flip the phone open, and you’re looking at a stunning 7-inch AMOLED display. It supports HDR10+, plays nice with Dolby Vision, and delivers a crisp 464ppi. The refresh rate goes up to 165Hz, just like the outer screen, but the brightness takes things up a notch—peaking at a blinding 4,500 nits. That’s brighter than the Z Flip6’s 2,600 nits and miles ahead of the Fold 5’s 1,750. Reaching 4,500 nits makes HDR videos stand out. While <a href="https://www.csl.sri.com/users/jha/papers/cases15.pdf?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SDR</a><a href="https://www.csl.sri.com/users/jha/papers/cases15.pdf?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow"> brightness</a> helps cut through glare, higher HDR brightness is all about richer contrast and better picture quality overall.</p>

659.  
660. <p>The <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/photography-gadgets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cameras</a> are part of where Motorola often cuts down due to the flip design. Last year’s razr took solid shots in daylight, but once the lights went down, things got rough. Photos and videos turned out grainy and lacked detail, whether you used the main lens or the ultrawide. So, what’s the deal with the razr 60 ultra?</p>
661.  
662.  
663.  
664. <p>It still has a 50 MP main sensor, but this time around, the specs hint at real improvements. Thanks to quad pixel-binning, it snaps 12.6 MP images—nothing new there—but now you get a beefier 2.0μm effective pixel size. That’s a jump from last year’s 1.6μm, which already came from binning 0.8μm native pixels. Add in the f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization, and fast all-pixel autofocus, and you’ve got a camera that should do way better in low light and deliver sharper, cleaner shots overall.</p>
665.  
666.  
667.  
668. <p>Motorola’s also highlighting Pantone Validated Color and Skin Tones. That’s a big deal for content creators. Just like <a href="https://www.hp.com/us-en/monitors-accessories/computer-monitors.html?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HP’s Pantone-validated gaming monitors</a> with factory-calibrated accuracy, you can expect colors to look true-to-life right out of the box.</p>

677.  
678.  
679.  
680. <p>If you’re into flip phones but worry about battery life, you’re not alone—it’s probably the biggest concern for most people. That’s why the <a href="https://www.motorola.com/us/en/p/phones/razr/razr-ultra/pmipmhn40ms?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">razr ultra 2025</a> is such a standout. It packs a 4700 mAh battery, up from 4000 mAh in the 50 Ultra.</p>
681.  
682.  
683.  
684. <p>Even the razr 2024 holds its own with a 4200 mAh battery. It outperforms the Galaxy Z Flip6, which only packs a 4000 mAh cell. Most users get close to a day and a half with the razr 2024, while the Flip6 usually calls it quits after just a day.</p>
685.  
686.  
687.  
688. <p>Charging also got a solid upgrade. Wired speeds jumped from 45 W to 68 W. Motorola says just 8 minutes can give you enough juice for a whole day (not sure what percentage that hits, though.) For context, the <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/blog/best-folding-phones/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">razr 2024</a>’s 30 W charging can take it from zero to full in a little over an hour. I used to not care about charging speed at all—until I got an <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/product/apple-iphone-15-pro-iphone-15-pro-max/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iPhone </a><a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/product/apple-iphone-15-pro-iphone-15-pro-max/">15 Pro</a>. Now I’d rather not go back. Fast charging may not be a deal-breaker, but it definitely adds to the appeal.</p>

696. <p>Motorola keeps the racr 60 ultra’s software simple with a near-stock Android experience.</p>
697.  
698.  
699.  
700. <p>While Motorola’s software support doesn’t match the long-term updates you get with Google or Samsung, it’s still decent. You’ll receive 3 OS updates, from Android 15 through Android 18, plus about 4 years of security patches every couple of months. Personally, updates don’t bother me too much. As long as my phone works well and does everything I need, I’d rather not risk an update that could mess things up.</p>
701.  
702.  
703.  
704. <p>Motorola includes its Moto app, making it easy to customize your razr 60 ultra. It also offers <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/blog/gesture-control-devices/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gesture controls</a>, which makes navigating smoother. For gaming, there’s a dedicated mode to boost performance, block notifications, adjust brightness, and more. Plus, Motorola adds extra privacy and security features beyond Google’s already solid offerings. Family Space is another handy feature, letting you give your phone to your child for gaming without interfering with your settings or privacy.</p>

716. <p>Artificial intelligence still feels like a repeat of last year’s conversation. Motorola’s AI tools—like the Pay Attention recording and summary feature teased a while back—still haven’t shown up in full form. So I’m keeping an eye out for that.</p>

720. <p>A lot of the <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/ai-gadgets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI features</a> on the <a href="https://www.motorola.com/us/en/p/phones/razr/razr-ultra/pmipmhn40ms?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">razr 60</a> (and the Galaxy Z Flip6) are hit or miss. One that actually stands out is Circle to Search. You just draw a circle around something on your screen, and boom—Google gives you the scoop. I’ve used it with the camera a few times, and it’s almost like walking around with a mini AR assistant. Like the other day, I spotted a new dish at my local food court, circled it, and instantly saw what it looked like.&nbsp;</p>

732. <p>Last year&#8217;s razr+ had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which was solid but didn’t quite make the flagship cut. The Razr ultra 2025 changes that with the Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform. This chip gives you one of the <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/gaming-gadgets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">best gaming experiences</a> available. You’ll experience fewer drops, and when they do occur, they’re brief, making for a noticeably smoother ride.</p>

It’s <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/fancy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stylish</a>, practical, and honestly just fun to use. While the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip6/?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Z Flip6</a> might win on brand recognition—the razr ultra 2025 has way more personality.</p>

744. <p>Motorola announced that all 3 razr models will be up for <a href="https://www.motorola.com/us/en/p/phones/razr/razr-ultra/pmipmhn40ms?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pre-order</a> on May 7 at Amazon.com and motorola.com, with a universal unlocked release on May 15. The razr 60 ultra (<strong>$1,399</strong>) will probably be called the Razr+ (2025) in the US, and it’ll square off against Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip7.</p>

761. <p>Golf requires skill, technique, and patience. But, thanks to tech, there are a ton of gadgets and accessories that can improve your game and make your time on the green even more enjoyable. And they&#8217;re some of the coolest golf gadgets and accessories around. </p>
762.  
763.  
764.  
765. <p>One of my favorite <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/sports-gadgets/golf-accessories/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">golf gadgets</a> right now is the Nikon COOLSHOT 20 GIII. Palm-sized with exceptional optical features, this golf gadget quickly and easily gives you the information you need to take your best shot. </p>
766.  
767.  
768.  
769. <p>Another cool golf gadget is the Garmin Approach G20. I love its metrics for wind speed and direction. Plus, unlimited battery life in the sun means I never have to worry about a depleted battery on the course. </p>
770.  
771.  
772.  
773. <p>There are many excellent golf gadgets and accessories, but these are some of the coolest. </p>

785. <p>On the course, I need precise distance measurements—the better to choose a club with. This year, I&#8217;m relying on the <a href="https://amzn.to/4iFbNyV" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nikon COOLSHOT 20 GIII Golf Range Finder</a>. It offers a simple, accurate way to get that data, calculating distances from 6 to 800 yards with 1-yard increments.</p>
786.  
787.  
788.  
789. <p>I like that it locks onto the flagstick, even if there are objects in the background. And, with its continuous measurement feature, it lets you scan multiple targets. Weighing just 4.6 ounces, it&#8217;s not a pain to carry around the golf course.</p>

Yes, thanks to its solar-powered battery, it can last round after round without needing more juice. Meanwhile, the high-contrast, sunlight readable display lets me see my stats even in bright sun.</p>
822.  
823.  
824.  
825. <p>It offers over 43,000 preloaded courses from around the world. While you play, it can send course updates when paired with a compatible smartphone. Then, there&#8217;s my favorite feature, the Garmin Golf App integration. It lets you access wind speed and direction, live scoring, and the Find My Garmin Feature.</p>

It&#8217;s a straightforward and wallet-friendly way to get accurate golf course distances. I like the precise distances to the front, center, and back of the green.

It’s super compact—fits right into the side pocket of your golf bag—and makes it easy to snag balls from water hazards, bushes, or deep rough—yay! </p>
1104.  
1105.  
1106.  
1107. <p>The rubberized ring head grips the ball securely (no weird claw thing here), and the lightweight shaft extends far enough to reach even the trickiest spots. Plus, no moving parts = less stuff to break. It’s straightforward, efficient, and doesn’t scream “golf dad.”</p>

1140. <p>Prosthetic arms aren&#8217;t cheap. Plenty of models with decent tech go over $60,000. That’s because it’s tough to pack motors, sensors, and electronics into a hand that still feels natural in size and weight. However, back in 2017, more than 57 million <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33274665/?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">people</a> worldwide were living with limb loss from <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/health-fitness/health/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">injuries</a>.</p>
1141.  
1142.  
1143.  
1144. <p>And honestly, with the way things have been going lately, it&#8217;s no shock that disabilities are becoming more common. Which brings us to bionic hands. What’s the deal with them? How do they actually work? What should you look for if you’re in the market for one? And yeah, let’s get into the ones that still deliver solid performance—without draining your savings.</p>

1154.  
1155.  
1156. <p>Losing a limb flips the whole day-to-day upside down. Brushing teeth, grabbing a coffee mug, buttoning a shirt—small routines turn into big challenges. But I’ve seen some impressive tech lately that’s helping people take control again. Some <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2072-666X/15/7/891?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prosthetics</a> (artificial body parts) connect straight to the brain, letting users move them with just a thought.</p>
1157.  
1158.  
1159.  
1160. <p>What sticks with me, though, is how much of the struggle is emotional. From what I’ve read, most amputees talk about the mental toll way more than the physical one. It’s feeling different, like everyone’s staring. They don’t blame people for noticing, but it stings when the difference becomes the first thing anyone reacts to.</p>
1161.  
1162.  
1163.  
1164. <p>That’s why newer prosthetic hands are designed to look and move more like real ones. Some are made to handle precise tasks like picking up small objects, while others are built for strength and everyday use. Either way, they’re giving people the ability to do what they love and feel more like themselves again.</p>

1177.  
1178. <p>Prosthetic arms have usually been pretty basic. Some are just there for looks—featuring silicone with no actual function. Then there are the <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/cool-gadgets-gifts/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-tech</a> ones, the kind that let you move each finger using electrodes on your skin. When we talk about &#8220;bionic,&#8221; we&#8217;re really just saying it&#8217;s part biology, part electronics.</p>
1179.  
1180.  
1181.  
1182. <p>A bionic hand can’t do everything a real hand can, but the right kind can still be super helpful. From everyday tasks to hobbies, it makes life easier. But like anything new, you’ve got to put in the time and effort to get the hang of using one.</p>
1183.  
1184.  
1185.  
1186. <p>To make the experience feel more natural, <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2072-666X/15/7/891?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">researchers</a> are working on ways to connect brain or nerve signals to the prosthetic. That might mean placing tiny sensors in the brain’s movement areas or using electrodes on nerves left after amputation.</p>
1187.  
1188.  
1189.  
1190. <p>Still, control alone isn’t enough. To feel truly whole again, people need to sense what the prosthetic is doing. That’s why newer bionic limbs are designed to send signals back to the brain, bringing back some sense of touch. It’s not just about function anymore—it’s about feeling like your body’s complete.</p>

1199.  
1200.  
1201.  
1202. <p>Even with all the progress in prosthetic technology, not many people are choosing prosthetic hands. The main reason is cost. These high-end devices can be expensive, and they don’t always offer the reliability or complex movements you’d expect.</p>
1203.  
1204.  
1205.  
1206. <p>Top-notch, <a href="https://www.ottobock.com/en-us/product/8E7*?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">human-like bionic hands</a> typically cost between $20,000 and $50,000.

It will set you back around $15,500. Even better, Medicare covers it, and since most private insurance plans follow Medicare’s example, you might find it accessible through your coverage.</p>
1207.  
1208.  
1209.  
1210. <p>If you’re interested in <a href="https://www.psyonic.io/get-yours?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">getting the Ability Hand</a>, you’ll need to work with a certified prosthetist.

1218. <p>So yeah, bionic hands aren’t cheap. But they’re also not out of reach anymore—especially with options like <a href="https://www.psyonic.io/get-yours?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PSYONIC&#8217;s Ability Hand</a> on the market.

1235. <p></p><p></p><p>Let me tell you—when I first saw the words &#8220;MPPT solar smart light,&#8221; I felt like I was about to install a tiny NASA probe in my backyard. Spoiler alert: I wasn’t far off. The <a href="https://gflo.us/linkind" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Linkind</a> Smart Solar Spotlight SL5C has officially transformed my yard into a high-tech glow party, and I’m not looking back. From algorithm-boosted solar charging to music-synced light shows that make my plants feel like VIPs at a rave, this light has seriously upped my outdoor game.</p><br /><div id="attachment_690096" style="width: 1210px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-690096" width="1200" height="675" class="size-post_image_16_9 wp-image-690096" src="https://thegadgetflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Linkind-blog-featured-1200x675.jpg" alt="The Linkind Smart Solar Spotlight SL5C"/><p id="caption-attachment-690096" class="wp-caption-text">The Linkind smart solar spotlight SL5C in the backyard</p></div>

1242.  
1243. <p>The box arrived with a clean, no-nonsense layout. Inside, I found two solid-feeling spotlights, ground stakes, mounting rods, screws, and a user manual that thankfully didn’t read like a translated puzzle. I opted for ground installation since I wanted to light up my garden path, but the kit comes with all the mounting gear for wall setups too.</p>
1244.  
1245.  
1246.  
1247. <p>Installation was super straightforward. A few clicks, a little twist of the mounting rods, and they were in the ground and angled toward my prize rose bush. Before using them, I followed the instructions and left them turned off in full sun for about 48 hours. Yes, I resisted the temptation to immediately sync them to techno beats—barely.</p>

1252.  
1253.  
1254.  
1255. <p>Here’s where the geek in me started to get excited. The SL5C is the world’s first MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar smart light, which basically means it’s not just soaking up sun—it’s optimizing every drop of it. Compared to standard solar lighting, these babies are algorithmically smarter, giving you up to 23.5% more efficient charging.</p>
1256.  
1257.  
1258.  
1259. <p>Even on semi-cloudy days, I noticed they still juiced up enough to run a full evening without dying halfway through my dinner party. And when they say “always-on lighting,” they mean it. I’ve been getting up to 14 hours of glow—yes, I counted—on a full charge.</p>
1260.  
1261.  
1262.  
1263. <p>So if you’re tired of solar lights that flicker out like they’ve lost the will to live after two hours, MPPT is the answer. It’s like giving your light a brain upgrade.</p>

1272.  
1273.  
1274.  
1275. <p>Let’s talk about the SL5C’s <em>light show</em> and <em>music sync</em> features. After syncing the lights to the AiDot app (which was a breeze, by the way), I was met with a buffet of scene presets and colors—like, 16 million of them. I don’t know who needs 16 million shades of pink, but hey, I’ve got them.</p>

1282.  
1283. <p>Now, let’s add music sync into the mix. With one tap, I had the lights pulsing to my playlist like my backyard was headlining Coachella. The beat drops, the lights flash, and suddenly my once-quiet garden became a personal disco. It’s great for parties, holidays, or just turning Wednesday into something magical.</p>
1284.  
1285.  
1286.  
1287. <p>My favorite mode? “Rainbow Flow.” It transitions through colors with the kind of elegance that makes people stop mid-conversation to stare. I even caught my grumpy neighbor nodding in approval. That’s a win.</p>

1294.  
1295. <p>If you’ve ever stumbled outside at dusk thinking, “Oh yeah, I forgot to turn on the lights,” then you’ll love this part.</p>
1296.  
1297.  
1298.  
1299. <p>The SL5C’s smart scheduling and dusk-to-dawn automation are genius. You can create personalized schedules in the app based on your lifestyle. Want them to light up right as your dog goes out for his nightly zoomies? Done. Prefer them to start the light show during dinner? No problem.</p>
1300.  
1301.  
1302.  
1303. <p>What really impressed me was the Luminance Detection feature. These spotlights actually adjust based on how dark it is outside. I didn’t need to tweak anything after the first setup—the lights figured it out themselves. Lazy me is thrilled.</p>
1304.  
1305.  
1306.  
1307. <p>Bonus points for the Group Control function. You can control up to 32 lights in up to 8 groups. I only have two for now, but once I inevitably become addicted and buy more, I’ll be ready.</p>

1315. <p>Whether it’s a chill blue vibe or a fiery orange flicker, the SL5C lets you completely customize brightness, temperature, and color from the AiDot app. The interface is smooth, with a bunch of sliders and presets that let you create your own scene without needing a lighting design degree.</p>
1316.  
1317.  
1318.  
1319. <p>I created a custom “Movie Night” mode that softly illuminates the garden with a warm amber tone. It feels cozy and cinematic—perfect for s’mores and spooky films under the stars.</p>

1327. <p>I live where weather likes to throw a tantrum. One day it’s sunny, the next it’s raining like the clouds are mad at me. But these lights haven’t blinked (pun intended). With an IP67 waterproof rating, they’ve handled thunderstorms, sprinklers, and even an accidental bump from the lawnmower (oops) without a hitch.</p>

1341. <p>While the lights work great with just the app, I decided to level up and connected them to Alexa with Linkind’s Bluetooth Mesh Hub (which you’ll need for voice control). Now I just say, “Alexa, turn on the garden lights,” and boom—ambient magic.</p>
1342.

Between the ultra-efficient MPPT charging, jaw-dropping light show capabilities, and the “set-it-and-forget-it” scheduling, the Linkind SL5C has made me look like the most put-together person in my neighborhood—even if I’m just winging it.

1404. <p>Earlier in April, I wrote that Apple is working on a couple of <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/blog/apple-vision-pro-2-say-goodbye-to-the-2-main-problems-you-had-before/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new Vision Pro headsets</a>. But that&#8217;s not all—they&#8217;re also figuring out some cool ways to use the tech, like a super impressive virtual 5K monitor feature. The company is definitely making moves, and guess what? Apple&#8217;s AR glasses are still in the picture. Tim Cook has made it clear—he wants to deliver true augmented reality eyewear before stepping down. In September 2021, Mr. Cook even called himself “AR fan number one.” So, what&#8217;s the latest on the development, and what can we expect?</p>
1405.  
1406.  
1407.  
1408. <p>I see big potential for AR in all sorts of fields. Especially if the Cupertino giant can make the headset small enough to look like regular glasses. There are already some gadgets, like <a href="https://normglasses.com?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Norm Glasses</a>, that offer lightweight, stylish headsets for making calls and watching media. Others let you game without needing a smartphone. But with Apple, you can always expect something more.</p>

1417.  
1418.  
1419.  
1420. <p>Mr. Cook’s had one big goal for over a decade now, and he&#8217;s still all-in on it. What the Apple CEO really want is a pair of AR glasses that feel like regular ones. Light enough to wear all day and smart enough to overlay digital stuff on top of the real world.</p>
1421.  
1422.  
1423.  
1424. <p>“Tim cares about nothing else,” <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-04-13/apple-vision-pro-2-details-low-latency-headset-ar-glasses-ipados-19-details-m9flf1fd?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">says</a> Mark Gurman, quoting someone close to the situation. “It’s the only thing he’s really spending his time on from a product development standpoint.”</p>
1425.  
1426.  
1427.  
1428. <p>But getting there won’t be quick. Apple still has a lot to figure out. They need insanely sharp displays, a powerful chip that doesn’t overheat, and a battery that lasts hours. Without making the glasses bulky. </p>
1429.  
1430.  
1431.  
1432. <p>Then there’s the question of why people would even want Apple AR glasses. Meta’s already working on its Orion glasses, which aim to blend a regular look with AR features. The $500 <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/product/meta-quest-3-mainstream-mr-headset/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Quest 3</a> and Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro may live in different price worlds, but at their core, they’re solving similar problems. Apple’s glasses will need standout apps that make them feel just as important as your iPhone. And yeah, they’ve got to make them at scale and keep the price reasonable.</p>
1433.  
1434.  
1435.  
1436. <p>Now, let’s zoom out for a second. Mr Cook’s been with Apple for 27 years. Back in 2021, he got a bit reflective during the New York Times “Sway” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/05/opinion/apples-ceo-is-making-very-different-choices-from-mark-zuckerberg.html?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">podcast</a>. “I feel great right now,” he said. “But 10 more years is a long time and probably not 10 more years.” So it’s pretty safe to say that as long as the 64-year-long is at the helm, the augmented glasses will stay high on Apple’s priority list. <strong>A launch by 2031? Wouldn’t be a surprise.</strong></p>

1445.  
1446.  
1447.  
1448. <p>Apple&#8217;s AR glasses will feature holographic displays integrated into the lenses. In 2024, Stanford researchers created a prototype AR headset that projects vivid, 3D moving images onto what appear to be regular glasses. Although it’s just a prototype, they believe the technology could shake things up in gaming, entertainment, training, and education.</p>
1449.  
1450.  
1451.  
1452. <p>Manu Gopakumar, a doctoral student at Stanford’s Computational Imaging lab, <a href="https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2024/05/3d-augmented-reality-with-regular-glasses?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">says</a>, “One could imagine a surgeon wearing such glasses to plan a delicate or complex surgery or airplane mechanic using them to learn to work on the latest jet engine.”</p>
1453.  
1454.  
1455.  
1456. <p>Apple’s version will sync with <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/iphone-accessories/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">your iPhone</a>, so texts, emails, maps, and games pop up right in front of you. A lot of YouTubers rave about the immersive gaming side of AR glasses, but for me, it’s the privacy that stands out. I’d definitely wear mine on a flight and keep everything to myself—no screens glowing in anyone’s face. The sound gets piped straight into your ears, too.</p>
1457.  
1458.  
1459.  
1460. <p>There’s talk that Apple might launch a dedicated App Store for the headset, just like it did for Apple TV and the Apple Watch. Right now, most AR glasses run on stripped-down Android setups that need sideloading or use a clunky Android TV interface with limited options. That’s a major reason why smart glasses haven’t really taken off. Even with big names like Meta and Xiaomi, there’s still no must-have app. Sure, smart glasses help you keep your head up instead of staring at your phone, but that&#8217;s about it. A proper ecosystem could be the key difference.</p>

1470.  
1471.  
1472. <p>For me, the best smart glasses should make life easier. Features like navigation, real-time transcription, and quick access to info are way more practical than just getting notifications or having an advanced <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/photography-gadgets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">camera for photos</a> and videos. I’d love to travel and have instant translation for both written texts and spoken words.</p>
1473.  
1474.  
1475.  
1476. <p>If I pop into a grocery store, I’d want the glasses to pull up my shopping list and guide me to the right aisles. But honestly, that sounds like a tough challenge for now. Apple would have to stay on top of constant changes in store layouts.</p>
1477.  
1478.  
1479.  
1480. <p>I’d be pretty excited if AR and AI glasses could walk me through something like replacing my room’s door lock. I actually had to use <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/ai-gadgets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ChatGPT</a> once for help, but it was a pain. I had to type out detailed descriptions about what I saw, the kind of lock, what seemed wrong, and my best guess for the issue. It got the job done, but having smart glasses with a built-in camera would have made a huge difference. That way, it could just see what I was dealing with and guide me right there—like pointing out which screws to unscrew, where the latch should sit, or if something wasn’t lining up right. Just think about how useful that could be for literally any home repair task.<br /></p>

1488. <p>I’m curious to see how Apple’s AR glasses turn out, especially with all the attention Tim Cook is giving them. If they can pack sharp visuals, solid battery life, and real utility into something that looks and feels like regular <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/eyewear/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">eyewear</a>, that’d be huge. I’m not just talking about flashy demos either. I want to see smart features that actually help in daily life, like travel, repairs, or work. </p>

1501. <p>The original Sony LinkBuds made waves back in 2022 with their open-ear design and donut-shaped shaped speakers. In contrast, the <a href="https://amzn.to/42YbhaF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sony LinkBuds S</a> have always seemed pretty, well, regular. There&#8217;s no barrier-free connection to the outside world, no futuristic design. But, the ANC is quite good for the price, and rounded buds rest easily in the ear. So do these earbuds deserve their reputation for being a bit of a letdown? Or is there more to them than meets the eye? I&#8217;ve done the research, so you don&#8217;t have to. And, as a tech writer with over 5 years of experience, you can trust my opinion. Here&#8217;s my honest Sony LinkBuds S Review.</p>

1510.  
1511.  
1512.  
1513. <p>I have small ears, so finding a comfortable pair of earbuds that fit is quite a task. Most are either too big and fall out immediately, or loosen after a few minutes, negating any ANC seal. But the Sony LinkBuds S is different. Because the round shape sits flush with the ear, buds stay in comfortably for longer periods.</p>
1514.  
1515.  
1516.  
1517. <p>As for the case, it&#8217;s compact and easy to travel with. However, it doesn&#8217;t have wireless charging, just USB-C charging. So, if you were planning to power them on the same device as your iPhone, you&#8217;re out of luck. And to be honest, many earbuds at the some pricepoint support wireless charging, so that&#8217;s a bit of a bummer&#8230;</p>
1518.  
1519.  
1520.  
1521. <p>Overall, I like the design. Sure, they&#8217;re not as flashy as the LinkBuds, but they do have a modern look. They&#8217;re available in 4 colors: White, Black, Earth Blue, and Violet. The Black and White colors have a matte finish which looks quite nice—they dress up or down.</p>

1532.  
1533.  
1534.  
1535. <p>If you&#8217;re like me—not exactly an audiophile but someone who appreciates clear, natural-sounding music—then the Sony LinkBuds S will be a good choice for you. Their overall sound profile is balanced, with clear mids and punchy bass. My favorite songs of the moment sound better than ever, and so do my calls. All that from drivers that are just 5mm.</p>
1536.  
1537.  
1538.  
1539. <p>Some reviewers have been disappointed in the LDAC codec, the feature that brings hi-res audio compatibility to the LinkBuds S. They&#8217;ve noted that the sound difference on a selection of devices was barely perceptible. But this could signal just how capable Sony&#8217;s DSEE upscaling tech is.</p>

1551. <p>Every now and then, my husband has a <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/work-from-home/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">work-from-home day</a>. Unlike me, he has a ton of calls, so I gauge a set of earbuds&#8217; ANC by how well they block out his chats. I&#8217;m happy to report that the Sony LinkBuds ANC did a very good job. With them in my ears, I couldn&#8217;t hear a call going on in the same room.</p>
1552.  
1553.  
1554.  
1555. <p>The same technology muffles traffic from outside, and you can even walk beside road work without having to increase your volume. Windy days, also won&#8217;t interfere with your podcasts or your calls. The transparency is solid—not quite as excellent at what you get from the AirPods Pro, but very similar to the WF-1000XM4. Best of all are the controls for the transparency plus the extra settings in the Headphones app.</p>
1556.  
1557.  
1558.  
1559. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-smart-features-amp-app-integration">Smart Features &amp; App Integration</h2>
1560.  
1561.  
1562.  
1563. <p>Don&#8217;t let the minimalist design fool you—the <a href="https://amzn.to/42YbhaF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sony LinkBuds S</a> have advanced tech under their casing, especially with the Sony Headphones Connect app. And, in fact, it&#8217;s the app really makes these buds shine.</p>
1564.  
1565.  
1566.  
1567. <p>First, let&#8217;s talk about the adaptive sound control. This feature auto-adjusts your ANC and ambient sound levels depending on your environment. It can even learn your routines over time. As a busy mom, this is something I really appreciate—I often can&#8217;t be bothered to play with tech settings.</p>
1568.  
1569.  
1570.  
1571. <p>Then, there&#8217;s the speak-to-chat feature—something I find really cool. Simply start talking, and the music automatically pauses for your conversation. Sometimes the feature is a little to sensitive—it sometimes stops when I clear my throat or hum to the song.</p>
1572.  
1573.  
1574.  
1575. <p>Customizable touch controls also exist for volume, playback, or switching noise cancellation modes. And there&#8217;s -built in voice assistant compatibility with Alexa and Google Home. Siri&#8217;s supported too, but only on iOS.</p>
1576.  
1577.  
1578.  
1579. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-solid-battery-life-amp-charging">Solid Battery Life &amp; Charging</h2>
1580.  
1581.  
1582.  
1583. <p>In my opinion, the Sony LinkBuds S deliver pretty solid battery performance. With the ANC on, you can expect about 6 hours of playback, plus another 14 hours from the case. It’s not bad, but definitely not great. With the ANC off, you can get 9 hours from a single charge.</p>
1584.  
1585.  
1586.  
1587. <p>Unfortunately, these buds don’t support <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/wireless-chargers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wireless charging</a>. It’s disappointing, especially when you consider the price. The case charges via USB-C only, but there is a quick charge feature. A 5-minute charge equals 60 minutes of playtime.</p>
1588.  
1589.  
1590.  
1591. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-smooth-connectivity-amp-compatibility">Smooth Connectivity &amp; Compatibility</h2>
1592.  
1593.  
1594.  
1595. <p>The LinkBuds S use Bluetooth 5.2, which means you get fast, stable connections and solid range. Pairing is quick and painless—especially if you’re on Android thanks to Google Fast Pair, which pops up a connection prompt as soon as you open the case. iPhone users don’t get that fancy pairing window, but connectivity is still snappy.</p>
1596.  
1597.  
1598.  
1599. <p>In terms of audio codecs, they support SBC, AAC, and LDAC. That means you’ll get better-than-basic audio quality, especially if your device supports LDAC for high-res streaming (Android fans, this one’s for you).</p>
1600.  
1601.  
1602.  
1603. <p>One thing missing? Multipoint pairing. Yep—no seamless switching between your laptop and phone. If you’re someone who juggles devices all day, this might be a small but noticeable inconvenience.</p>
1604.  
1605.  
1606.  
1607. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sony-linkbuds-s-pros-and-cons">Sony LinkBuds S: Pros and Cons</h2>
1608.  
1609.  
1610.  
1611. <p>There&#8217;s a lot to like about the Sony LinkBuds S. The lightweight, slightly rounded shape fits comfortably—even in my small ears—and the sound quality is balanced, bright, and punchy. I could easily see myself using them for everything from music to work calls, even while navigating a noisy city sidewalk.</p>
1612.  
1613.  
1614.  
1615. <p>That said, they&#8217;re definitely more conventional than the original <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/blog/sony-linkbuds-wireless-earbuds-ring-driver-alexa-speak-to-chat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkBuds</a>. Gone is the quirky donut-shapped speaker and the always-on environmental passthrough. And without wireless charging, they&#8217;re a little behind the times.</p>
1616.  
1617.  
1618.  
1619. <p>But you&#8217;re probably not here because you want the flashies, most futurist earbuds. You&#8217;re looking for reliable, comfortable, every day headphones that sound great and are gentle on your wallet. That&#8217;s exactly what the LinkBuds S offer. Nope, they don&#8217;t have all the bells and whistles, but they get the fundamentals right.</p>
1620.  
1621.  
1622.  
1623. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-final-thoughts">Final thoughts</h2>
1624.  
1625.  
1626.  
1627. <p>The Sony LinkBuds S might not be as experimental as their predecessor, but they shine as an everyday pair of true wireless earbuds. With great sound, a comfy fit, and a surprising feature set, they&#8217;re a smart choice—especially if you&#8217;re not after the latest tech trends.</p>
1628.  
1629.  
1630.  
1631. <p>So, if you just want a good pair of earbuds that <em>work</em> the LinkBuds S are totally worth it!</p>
1632.  
1633.  
1634.  
1635. <p>The Sony LinkBuds S currently cost <a href="https://amzn.to/42YbhaF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$158</a> on Amazon, 21% off from their regular price, $199.99.</p>

1648. <p>Now that I&#8217;m 40, more and more of my friends are taking meds for chronic conditions—I guess that&#8217;s just part of middle age&#8230;and I&#8217;m probably not far off myself. So I know how easy it is to miss a dose or take a pill at the wrong time. Yep, margarita night hits different when someone&#8217;s squinting at a blister pack trying to remember if they already took their blood pressure meds. That&#8217;s where smart pill dispensers come in. </p>
1649.  
1650.  
1651.  
1652. <p>Never heard of them? Neither had I, until I researched this article. But they exist and are actually pretty clever. With more than half of <a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/31183/us-respondents-who-are-taking-prescribed-medicine/?utm_source=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_medium=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_campaign=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">adult Americans</a> taking prescribed medication daily, these gadgets reduce what I&#8217;ll call pill perplexity (forgive the alliteration). They pair with smart apps and can send reminders and notifications. Many allow caregiver access.</p>
1653.  
1654.  
1655.  
1656. <p>If you struggle to remember to take your medication on time or are caring for someone with Alzheimer&#8217;s or dementia, smart pill dispensers could be the tiny personal assistant you&#8217;ve been looking for. </p>
1657.

1661.  
1662.  
1663.  
1664. <p>If you&#8217;ve ever stared blankly at your bottle of pills, wondering if you already took one, these product reccos are for you. After thorough research, these are best some of the best smart pill dispensers out there right now. And you can trust that I&#8217;ve done the gruntwork. After 5 years of researching and reviewing products, I know what separates the gems from the duds. The products below have been tested by tech reviewers, loved by users, and are approved by my future forgetful self.</p>
1665.

1672. <p>The size and shape of a coffee maker, <a href="https://herohealth.com/?utm_source=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_medium=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_campaign=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Hero</a> automatic pill management platform is one of the most highly-rated smart pill dispensers online. It stores up to 10 different medications and automatically dispenses them on time. Then, companion app tracks every pill in the dispenser, plus up to 10 others outside of the  devices.</p>
1673.  
1674.  
1675.  
1676. <p>The smart features really take the device over the edge. The app sends out notifications if you skip a dose or are late taking one. And you can add as many caregivers as you want, if you want to. There are even options to lock the dispenser&#8217;s buttons by creating a passcode. Fancy stuff! </p>
1677.  
1678.  
1679.  
1680. <p>My personal take:<br /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/1f499.png" alt="💙" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> I love the app integration for reminders and tracking—RIP traditional pill boxes. </p>

1700. <p>MedaCube boasts an impressive 97% adherence rate! So it&#8217;s practically guaranteed to keep you on a pill-perfect schedule. How&#8217;d they do it? The gadget uses both audio and visual reminders. You can even record friendly reminder of your own, which can sound more encouraging. </p>
1701.  
1702.  
1703.  
1704. <p>I love the bulk loading system. Users can load multiple medications at once and they&#8217;ll all be sorted in under 2 minutes. Meanwhile the notification system can remind you and caregivers about missed doses. </p>

1726.  
1727.  
1728. <p>Say you don&#8217;t want a pill dispenser the size of a coffee maker in your home—totally understandable. Then the EllieGrid is a great option. At first glance, it looks like a stylish, but traditional, pill box. Tech-wise, however, it uses lights and sounds to show you which pills to take and when. </p>
1729.  
1730.  
1731.  
1732. <p>The smart alarms features, meanwhile, allow Ellie to use hall effect sensors and machine learning to adjust the alarms to your routine. It takes seconds to organize your pills and get notifications to take your pills on time. The design portable—it can fit in a backpack or purse—and can generate an adherance report, keeping caregivers updated. </p>

1754.  
1755.  
1756. <p>Want a pill dispenser that&#8217;s super straightforward? See the e-Pill MedTime Station. It&#8217;s about a barebones as you get for a connected pill box, but it serves its purpose well. With up to 6 daily alarms and a key-locked lid, you can keep to your schedule and secure the meds. </p>
1757.  
1758.  
1759.  
1760. <p>I must note, however, that this pill box is not actaually &#8216;smart.&#8217; It doesn&#8217;t have app connectivity or connect to other devices. But—and this is why I&#8217;ve included it on the list—It does have clear voice notifications. If you&#8217;re shopping for a loved one who needs reminders, but isn&#8217;t tech savvy, this dispenser is a wonderful options. </p>
1761.  
1762.  
1763.  
1764. <p>Not only that, but it&#8217;s a locked automatic pill dispenser with 28 compartments and easy-to-follow filling guides. Users love its reliability and security. It&#8217;s ideal for anyone needing an easy-to-use dispenser system</p>

As a countertop pill dispenser, it stores up to 15 different medications and can dispense them at multiple times per day or as needed. </p>
1785.  
1786.  
1787.  
1788. <p>The interface is simple: when it&#8217;s pill time, a green button lights up and pressing it releases the correct pills. What&#8217;s more, caregivers get text messages when Livi releases pills or if your loved one misses a dose. </p>

1829. <p>My gamer friends are all into different switches, and that’s normal. One of them went through a bunch before figuring out he’s team clicky. He likes the resistance and the sharp sound they make. Tactile switches are a little different. They give a noticeable bump with each press and make a softer sound. I’m more of a linear switch person myself. I like how smooth and consistent they feel, whether I’m <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/content-creators/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gaming or typing</a>. And yeah—if you’re putting together <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/computer-accessories/computer-keyboards/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">your keyboard</a>, chances are you’re stuck wondering which switches to get. My guide to the best switches for gaming might help clear things up.</p>
1830.  
1831.  
1832.  
1833. <p>Finding the right switch is all about experimenting. Pick a basic one you think fits your style, try it out, and then see what else is out there. Maybe you’ll want something heavier, lighter, smoother, or with a sharper click. Either way, the good news is you can usually <a href="https://www.ebay.com/shop/keyboard-switches?_nkw=keyboard+switches?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">resell</a> whatever you buy without losing much money.</p>

1872.  
1873.  
1874.  
1875. <p>The truth is, it’s all about what feels good to you. You could be amazing with clicky switches if that’s what you like. The switch itself won’t magically make you better. Comfort matters way more.</p>

1893.  
1894.  
1895. <p>Linear switches are my go-to for gaming because they’re light, smooth, and fast. Quick keypresses mean faster reactions, and in gaming, that matters. The problem is, some of them are way too sensitive. I’ve had times where just resting my thumb on the spacebar made it fire. It gets annoying real quick.<br /></p>
1896.  
1897.  
1898.  
1899. <p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cherry-MX-RGB-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0CBS25YJ1/?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CHERRY MX SPEED SILVER</a> (<strong>$15.99</strong> for 23Pcs) switches hit the perfect middle ground. They’re fast like other linear switches but need just enough pressure to avoid accidental presses. That balance makes them ideal for both gaming and typing.</p>
1900.  
1901.  
1902.  
1903. <p>Both Silvers and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cherry-MX-RGB-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B0CBS4HJJR?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reds</a> take about 1.6 ounces of force, while tougher ones like Blacks or Blues need around 2.1 ounces. What sets them apart is how far you have to push. Red switches register at 0.08 inches, while Silvers fire at 0.05 inches. That tiny difference adds up in intense moments. In fast-action games like &#8220;I Am Your Beast,&#8221; where I’m sprinting, dodging, and firing nonstop, quicker response times give me a clear edge. Each millisecond makes a huge difference when everything’s moving at breakneck speed.</p>

From what I’ve read, the switches are durable, with many confirming they hold up well after hours of heavy use. No fatigue or discomfort, even during long sessions.</p>

1919. <p>Often, gamers who hammer a lot of keys prefer tactile switches since that little bump helps prevent accidental presses. Personally, I find heavy bumps and stiff springs tiring during long sessions. That’s why I lean toward linears. But again, no switch is the “universal best.” If you’re set on using tactile switches, let&#8217;s take a look at the <a href="https://kono.store/products/kailh-speed-switches?variant=31458096054355?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kailh Speed Copper</a> (<strong>$2.80</strong> for 10Pcs).</p>

1923. <p>Kailh Speed Copper is actually the only tactile gaming switch I know of. It has an actuation force of about 1.48 ounces, paired with a super short 0.04-inch pre-travel distance for a fast, responsive feel. Being a 3-pin switch, the fit might feel a little looser than a 5-pin, though most won’t notice. The feel is light and snappy, and while there’s a tactile bump, it’s way softer than the specs might have you believe.</p>

1935. <p>When you think of a “mechanical keyboard,” clicky switches are probably what pop into your head. The loud ones that make a sharp, satisfying sound with every press. They give you that classic tactile feedback, and if you’re into that, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mciepny-Pre-Lubed-Dustproof-Waterproof-Mechanical/dp/B0D99P16XP?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut%2Bmcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow&amp;th=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mciepny Kailh Box White</a> (<strong>$17.48</strong> for 45Pcs) is right up your alley.</p>
1936.  
1937.  
1938.  
1939. <p>Clicky switches feel a bit like typing on an old-school typewriter. They’re fun and super satisfying, but not the best choice if you’re sharing a space. The Box White switches give you that same crisp feel, but with a cleaner, sharper sound thanks to a metal click bar, instead of the rattly plastic ones you’d hear on the MX Blues. It’s a noticeable difference.</p>
1940.  
1941.  
1942.  
1943. <p>Since there’s no hysteresis, press the Kailh Box White switches without worrying about inconsistent feedback. You can even use them like linear or tactile switches, depending on how fast-paced your game is. However, what stands out most is the smooth, balanced feel and reliable actuation, especially during high-pressure moments.</p>
1944.  
1945.  
1946.  
1947. <p>If you prefer light, easy presses, white switches are the softest you’ll find. They’re awesome for speed typists. Some gamers might find them too soft, though. That’s where the <a href="https://kono.store/products/kailh-speed-switches?variant=31458096119891?utmsource=GadgetFlow&amp;utmmedium=GadgetFlow&amp;ut mcampaign=GadgetFlow&amp;utmcontent=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kailh Speed Bronze</a> (<strong>$2.80</strong> for 10Pcs) switches step in. They’re lightweight too, but have a shorter pre-travel distance, so they respond faster and feel snappier in competitive games. Kailh’s perimetered stem design also keeps each key stable and secure under your fingers. No wobble, just a solid, steady feel.</p>

Do you prefer smooth, linear switches that press straight down, or tactile ones that give a click when they activate? In the end, it all comes down to what you like. I aimed to strike a good balance between feel and <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/computer-accessories/computer-keyboards/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">comfort for your fingers</a>.</p>

1972. <p>When my husband and I moved into our first house (over a decade ago!) one of our biggest splurges was a conventional oven. We were young and the $700 pricetag seemed huge—but we knew we were buying an essential appliance, one we&#8217;d use practically every day. Flash forward to 2025 and I&#8217;m singing different tune. Today&#8217;s smart ovens have nearly replaced that &#8220;essential&#8221; from the 2010s.</p>
1973.  
1974.  
1975.  
1976. <p>Yep, a sleek, app-connected countertop cooker has gradually become my go-to cooking gadget. It&#8217;s more energy efficient, cooks faster, and surprisingly powerful. I use it practically every night to cook meals for my family. And it can handle everything from fish to <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/product/osipoto-2lb-bread-maker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bread</a>. And yes, it costs way less to use than a typical oven</p>
1977.  
1978.  
1979.  
1980. <p>If I were designing my first <a href="https://thegadgetflow.com/categories/kitchen-gadgets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">kitchen</a> today, I&#8217;d avoid the the traditional oven altogether. But smart ovens aren&#8217;t just for young Gen Zers. Busy parents, grandparents, and young professionals will all appreciate having easier cooking options at home.</p>
1981.  
1982.

1993.  
1994.  
1995.  
1996. <p>When you work hard all day, meal prep has to be fast and easy. That&#8217;s where where the <a href="https://amzn.to/4jBdnCU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tovala Smart Oven Pro</a> comes in. A 6-in-1 countertop oven, it air fries, steams, bakes, and broils at the touch of a button. I can even create my own cook cycles with 1 or more modes—this ensures everything comes out the way I like it—every time!</p>
1997.  
1998.  
1999.  
2000. <p>And then there&#8217;s my favorite feature: the company&#8217;s fresh meal kits. The box cooks those perfectly—all I have to do is scan a QR code that comes on the kit and boom, we&#8217;ve got dinner on the table in under an hour. The kits are tasty and healthy. However, this smart oven cooks for no more than 2 people at a time, so it&#8217;s best suited for young professionals without kids.</p>

2035.  
2036. <p>The one-touch smart programs include an impressive 8,000+ customizable cooking programs, and 10 cooking functions. It&#8217;s a lot—and reviewers have called the interface a bit complicated.

2068. <p>With its spacious interior and unique, almost futuristic, design, the <a href="https://amzn.to/3YyNgV8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GE Profile Smart Oven</a> looks beautiful in any kitchen. I love the garage-like sliding door—it opens with a touch. And the wide viewing window lets me easily see if my pizza is over browning. Meanwhile, it works with GE&#8217;s SmartHQ app, which easily pairs the oven with my phone. It sends notifications when there&#8217;s a minute left in my cooking time and again when the food is ready.</p>
2069.  
2070.  
2071.  
2072. <p>Function-wise, it bakes and air fries well. I can expect crispy fries, broccoli, fried chicken, and frozen waffles. The high capacity makes it a weeknight savior. It also serves as an oven extender on holidays like Thanksgiving. However, the Zero preheat technology falls a little short. Reviewers have mentioned that the appliance doesn&#8217;t heat up as quickly as expected.</p>

2106. <p>If there&#8217;s one smart oven that can replace your traditional one, it&#8217;s the <a href="https://amzn.to/42yDnI9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Breville Joule Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro</a>. Outfitted with a slew of cooking functions, including slow cook, air fry, and dehydrate, it actually serves the function of multiple kitchen appliances (and can replace those, too). Unlike a traditional oven, it heats up to the precise temperature you set. So there&#8217;s no need for obsessive, back-and-forth checking.</p>
2107.  
2108.  
2109.  
2110. <p>And its app is actually pretty useful, too. It&#8217;s easy to connect to and gives me access to hundreds of recipes from respected cooking sites like New York Times Cooking, Serious Eats, and America&#8217;s Test Kitchen. Each recipe comes with photos and videos. Voice activation is compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa.</p>
2111.  
2112.  
2113.  
2114. <p>My personal take:</p>
2115.  
2116.  
2117.  
2118. <p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> It&#8217;s great for apartment dwellers, families, and busy professionals.</p>
2119.  
2120.  
2121.  
2122. <p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/1f933.png" alt="🤳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> The app-connected features are solid—compared to most.</p>
2123.  
2124.  
2125.  
2126. <p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/1f4b0.png" alt="💰" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> At $500, it&#8217;s pricier than some conventional ovens. But! It does replace many smaller kitchen appliances.</p>

2142. <p>Need a smart countertop oven for you and just one other person? Want it to look nice, too? The <a href="https://amzn.to/4jgzWgA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Café Couture Oven</a> ticks those boxes. I love the traditional design—it has a Victorian era look. But don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s equipped with today&#8217;s modern tech.</p>
2143.  
2144.  
2145.  
2146. <p>Your purchase includes accessories such as a pizza pan, an air fry/dehydrate basket, and a baking tray. They help you make the most of the 14 cooking modes. The Wi-Fi connectivity makes cooking easier by enabling voice control via Echo or Google Home devices. The SmartHQ app even lets you start and manage cooking programs remotely.</p>

2174. <p>If you cook for a crowd and want the easiest countertop oven experience possible, I recommend the <a href="https://www.nuwavenow.com/products/best-countertop-convection-oven-pro-smart?utm_source=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_medium=GadgetFlow&amp;utm_campaign=GadgetFlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nuwave Pro-Smart Oven</a>. It&#8217;s tricked out with cooking features that give you perfect results every time. There&#8217;s an integrated temperature probe to reduce the risk of overcooking. And the adjustable heating elements give you independent control of top and bottom heating.</p>
2175.  
2176.  
2177.  
2178. <p>I love this product&#8217;s performance. The cooking times are quick and the heat distribution is even. Plus, with the temperature probe, I can expect thoroughly cooked recipes every time. The capacity is large enough to add to your family cooking reportoire and the 12 cooking functions mean you can whip up anything from air fried chicken to baked chocolate chip cookies in a flash.</p>
2179.

2206. <p>Today&#8217;s smart ovens outpace traditional ovens in pretty big ways. If you want a ton of cooking options and a compact appliance, these smart ovens are definitely worth looking into. Not only do they use less energy, but they also cook faster. Add to that the app connectivity and voice assistant compatibility, and you&#8217;ve got an insanely useful gadget that fits right in with modern life!</p>
