Today on Michael Fisher: a slightly unhinged video, for a pretty weird trade show! 😄 #IFA2023 gave us a thin foldable from HONOR; a THICC console from Lenovo; & a Fairphone that wants to save the 🌎 youtu.be/lw8d18vEmBc (📺 links bury the tweet, so RTs appreciated!)

Celebrating #StarTrekDay by dusting off some of the Star Trek gadgets that laid the foundation for my lifelong tech obsession! @ParamountPlus also sent over some Romulan Ale so this #ParamountPlusPartner could enjoy the (hilarious) premiere of Lower Decks on @StarTrekonPPlus 🖖

[Exclusive] OnePlus brought me to China for a peek inside its first foldable, the OnePlus Open – and the machines trying their best to break it! Video premieres now on @themrmobile! 📺: youtu.be/RNcAP6yV5O8

Come for the Galaxy Fold 5 ... stay for the "alternate-universe iPod" 😄 Michael Fisher's last video of the year is up! Join me for the 2023 edition of "The Leftovers" 👀📺 youtu.be/0B50i8EBTLQ

Sometimes, a design collab is just what an OEM needs to put a phone over the top. Porsche Design's take on the Honor Magic V2 is a 🔥 update to a conservative design. It's just a shame they couldn't do more for the software. Video premieres at 6:20p ET! youtube.com/watch?v=OI1XX4…

Pick a feature you love about your smartphone. There's a good chance you have this 15-year-old phone (or its trailblazing operating system) to thank for it. Today on #WhenPhonesWereFun: webOS and the Palm Pre! youtube.com/watch?v=d8UJ6c…

How many ways can you fold a screen? Are Wear OS and modular phones making a comeback? And: do you even *need* a phone anymore? I've spent the week at #MWC24 with a ton of new gadgets trying to answer these questions! Check the roundup on Michael Fisher: youtu.be/lxkdgc0i6qQ

I shared (one version of) my homescreen on today's "Installer!" Thanks to 💤💤💤 and The Verge for the opportunity to gush about foldables, Outland, and 80s text adventures: theverge.com/24102242/likew…

Up next on @themrmobile's review desk, the Plaud Note: a tiny recorder that uses GPT-4 to convert sound files into transcripts. I'm a sucker for audio gadgets - but these "AI products" need to do more than an equivalent app could, in order to justify their cost. Review soon!

The Plaud Note is a credit card-sized recorder that uses ChatGPT to transcribe your memos. It's beautiful, tiny and dead-simple to operate – but like most "AI" products, the question is: "couldn't this just be an app?" Review at 4pm ET on Michael Fisher! youtu.be/WKKoJUqkcKg

New video premieres in 15m! youtu.be/jBBZ5j5dzVg

Inspired by Mishaal Rahman to post my EDC for #GoogleIO! 📖 Pixel Fold (for the plane) 🤳 Pixel 8a (for the review) ⌚ Pixel Watch 2 (for the ... wrist? idk) 📱 iPhone 14 Pro (for the Clicks) 🎧 Pixel Buds 2 👂 Nothing Ear (a) 😎 Meta Ray Bans (It's Google-heavy because I

The stated goal of Nothing is to make tech fun again - and its new "CMF" brand is the most (non-folding) fun I've seen in phones in a while. The CMF by Nothing Phone 1 is the latest attempt to bring modularity to mobile, with removable backplates and an attachment point that can

Fun fact: while the new Motorola Razr *doesn't* officially have Qi2 ... it *does* stick to MagSafe wireless chargers. If I had to guess, it's probably incidental attraction from the magnets that hold the flip closed. Still, neat! (Full review in the quoted post)

No surprise here: Samsung's most polarizing gadgets of the season are also the most fun to talk about. What did surprise me, though, was how much I loved *one* of these products. Michael Fisher's review of the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Buds3 Pro goes live on YouTube at 12p

Delighted to bring the "Road Trip Review" series back to @themrmobile's YouTube channel! This week: 2 Honor foldables tackle Qualcomm's #SnapdragonSummit – a stress test of epic proportions. From sunlight to heat to an avalanche of Maui dust, they tackled everything the trip

Come for the cold open about how much I hate the Las Vegas Strip; stay for the eyes-on time with a bunch of face computers! youtu.be/s8sYp-AcwKk #CES2025

In which I compare a one-of-a-kind folding phone to a one-of-a-kind atomic ship from 1959. ☢️ (Bonus: I tested the phone's camera on said ship!) My Oppo Find N5 Review – shot partially aboard the N/S Savannah – premieres on Michael Fisher at 8:15p ET. Strap on your dosimeter and
