Razr Fold, Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker, Ultrahuman Ring Pro and more

Welcome back to an unusual compilation of the latest updates from Engadget. Spring is a busy time for new devices and quite a few have crossed our desks recently. This time, we have a foldable phone, new speakers, wearables and more. Read on for all the in-depth reviews you may have missed.

When it comes to foldable phones, Google and Samsung are probably the first names that come to mind. However, Motorola has now entered the fray and its first product, the Razr Fold, is no slouch. “If you’re in the market for a great new foldable phone, the Razr Fold is more than just a third wheel,” says top review writer Sam Rutherford. “It’s a great option in itself, and starting at $1,900, it’s a touch less expensive than the Z Fold 7 as well.”

Bose recently launched a new audio gear and the product I reviewed is the Lifestyle Ultra Speaker. The company is clearly aiming for Sonos, and while there’s a lot to like about the sound, the lack of low-end oomph and problems connecting to stereo mode are significant caveats. “Sure, you’ll probably be happy with its standalone performance, although you may run into some kinks with the stereo pairing at first,” I said. “At the end of the day, you can do better if sound quality is your main concern, but you can also do worse, especially in terms of design.”

There’s no doubt that Oura is the current king of the smart ring market, but that’s not stopping the likes of Samsung and Ultrahuman from making a run for the crown. Ultrahuman’s latest endeavor is the Ring Pro. “Both the hardware and software of the Oura 4 are very well styled, but I find Ultrahuman’s data-heavy approach useful,” said senior journalist Daniel Cooper. “I don’t think anyone buying either device will feel aggrieved if they choose one of these over the other.”

Another company Sonos is targeting is Denon, which recently released the 200, 400 and 600 home speakers. Each model has its strengths, but I would argue that the 400 is probably the most well-rounded of the three. “No matter which of these Home speakers you choose, you’ll be delighted with the sound and detailed sound they produce,” I said. “And most importantly, you won’t be bogged down with the broken operating system needed to use the speakers to their full potential.”

reMarkable’s Paper Pure is a well-designed e-paper tablet that offers excellent handwriting on a beautiful display. However, there’s no backlight or typing ability, and you’ll need to contend with some obscure software in places. “ReMarkable Paper Pure is another great piece of hardware from a company that makes great tools,” said Daniel. “Thank you, except for the backlight, almost all problems have software, and it’s a very easy thing to fix.”

Full PC inside the keyboard? That’s exactly what HP did with the EliteBoard G1a. We also put Samsung’s Galaxy A37 through its paces to see how it stacks up against the crowded mid-range. If you like to record audio on the go, contributor Steve Dent captured sounds with the DJI Mic Mini 2. And for gamers, senior reporter Jessica Conditt spent some time with the Steam controller that will eventually work with the next Steam device.
