Samsung Galaxy Fold7 Review: Chasing Thinness
I’ve thought long and hard about how I wanted to write this review. The Galaxy Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra are right around the corner, with a better ultrawide, a rumored battery bump, and a telephoto I’ve been hoping for since the Fold5. I’ll have thoughts on it when it’s in…

Andaz Singapore Review: A Hotel I’d Book Again Without Hesitation
Five properties across three continents, and Andaz has never once felt like a chain. Each one takes on the neighborhood around it rather than importing a template into it. Singapore was no different. Andaz Singapore sits on levels 25 through 39 of the DUO tower. Whether it’s your first time…

Sony WF-1000XM6 Review: Great Earbuds, Hard to Justify the Upgrade
I really love my Sony WF-1000XM5s. I take them with me almost everywhere, so you can imagine how excited I was when Sony finally announced their successor, the WF-1000XM6s. After using them for a month, I’m disappointed. It is not because there is anything wrong with the WF-1000XM6s, but because…

Andaz Seoul Gangnam Review: Comfort, Style, and Seoul Vibes
My original plan was to spend two nights at the Andaz Seoul Gangnam. Hawaiian Airlines had other ideas. A flight delay threw everything off and turned what should have been a relaxed stay into a single-night sprint. Disclosure: I am not affiliated with Hyatt. I did not receive any monetary…
