Everything I've tested.

Fun, striking limited-edition phone with excellent low-light video, but software is much the same as the far cheaper Mate 30 Pro, so it is…

Very close to the A70 experience, a little smaller and almost $100 cheaper, so better value for many.

Great concept for mouse-and-keyboard mobile gaming, but fiddly setup and patchy game support.

Modular light panels with per-tile gradients that he sees as better than the alternative he uses, despite wasteful packaging.

Works like a personal cameraman, with good face and body tracking and several fun capture modes.

Tiny grip strips that give a slippery glass phone surprisingly strong hold.

A Swiss Army knife style magnetic mount that lets the phone stick to metal and be propped up with a coil.

Adds Bluetooth to any headphone jack and can feed two pairs of earphones at once.

One of the best brushes for cleaning phones and other tech safely.

One of his favourites: a strongly magnetic wall-mounted charging bar, though not cheap.

Turns a phone into a working microscope, even in beta form.

A photo frame with built-in Qi charging that works reliably and looks clean, though the phone covers the photo.

Gives a lot for the money and is his favourite Echo device so far.

A standalone translator that suits those who don't want to depend on a phone, but some languages sound robotic.

Simple AA and AAA cells that recharge from a phone, which he finds cool.

A clever idea that only winds the cables about half the time.

A grippy, drop-resistant case with a card compartment, for those who don't mind thickness.

Affordable, not premium, but can be pressed on either side to suit any orientation.

By far the best phone telescope mount he has tried, giving 120 times magnification with a secure fit.

Fascinating translation earbuds that let two people talk across languages, with a transcript on the phone.

The Aura Glow version is bold and colourful but not his favourite; he finds the Note 10+ sleek in a sneakier finish.

He thinks it is more broadly appealing than the standard Galaxy Watch, but he is not a smartwatch person and will try it.

Noise cancelling is not the best out there, but battery life is a highlight at 23 hours.

Special black and red edition included in the Star Wars bundle; he prefers neckband earphones in general.
