Can’t tell you all how happy I am to be joining Bloomberg, where I’ll be leading product reviews and still covering news — including Sonos, of course. I’ve been at The Verge for 13+ years and love everything about this place and our readers. But this is the perfect second act.

Hi GameStop. What’s with stealing our original photo?

Xreal’s One Pro glasses are a very fun way to privately watch movies or play some games on a handheld console. The bigger 57-degree field of view is a nice improvement over past models. But if you want full immersion, Meta / Apple are still the way to go. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Exclusive: VSCO is releasing its own camera app — the company’s first new standalone release in a decade. It’s called Capture, and it will let users pick from 50 of VSCO’s popular photo filter presets when taking a shot. US release coming this summer. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I’ll have my review of the new Nothing Headphones up at Bloomberg soon — along with the Phone 3. But one tidbit for now: the case is so similar to the Sonos Ace case that I’m almost certain it’s the same supplier. That also means the zipper is… not confidence-inspiring.

The Honor Magic V5 is one very, very thin foldable. Your move, Samsung. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are here. After a few slow years, the company is showing serious design ambition. The Fold 7 is extremely thin, and the Flip 7 has leapfrogged Motorola's Razr Ultra with slimmer bezels. My full story with Mark Gurman: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

I’m a sucker for good haptics. (Apple and Google are in a league of their own these days.) But for situations like the Fold 7, where they were never going to be that intricate or fancy, I like Samsung’s approach of just going with a very light touch. Beats an annoying thunk.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: this is something bigger than just another foldable. It’s a remarkable design achievement that, unlike every Fold before it, feels like a regular phone in your hands. But it’s capable of far more. RIP to the S Pen, though bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Nothing's Phone 3 was supposed to be a huge moment for the company. But one month in, some of the startup's most ardent fans are still complaining about its $799 price — though the design seems to be growing on them. My review + a look at the controversy: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Fujifilm raised US prices for the majority of its cameras and lenses on Friday. Many bodies, including the popular X-100VI and X-T5, are now $200 more expensive than they were Thursday night. Ouch. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

News: Sonos acknowledges reports of its first-gen Roam portable speaker overheating and melting/becoming damaged. Company says incident rate is "very low" and that it made hardware and software tweaks to "reduce the likelihood of this issue" Full story: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Breaking: Sonos price increases are coming for some products this year due to the tariffs hitting Vietnam and Malaysia. As for new hardware, Tom Conrad mentioned a "lull" in launches over next couple quarters with emphasis on software differentiation. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
