Dive into Februarys Tech Highlights: Samsung Galaxy S25, OnePlus 13, and Oura Ring 4 Put to the Test!

While there may be occasional slow news days following CES, the reviews are arriving rapidly as we enter February. Samsung has unveiled its newest high-end smartphones, and we’ve released several long-term evaluations of devices we’ve been using for months. In this reviews compilation, we have phones, a wearable device, a robot vacuum, and a smart grill. This week offers a wide range of options for everyone.

Quick Overview

The Eufy E20 is a groundbreaking robot vacuum that can transform into a cordless stick and handheld vacuum with the help of accessories. It functions best in its primary role as a robot, but its versatile design offers substantial convenience for those seeking alternatives to solely relying on a robotic vacuum for cleaning their homes.

The latest Oura Ring is the premier smart ring available today. However, its functionality remains restricted due to its size and inherent design as a ring.

Pros

  • More comfortable
  • Better data collection
  • Gorgeous, clean app
Cons

  • Requires a paid plan to activate fundamental features
  • It’s unclear why color variants come with additional costs

$349 at Oura

Although smart rings are still somewhat niche, Oura stands out in the market. Their latest Ring 4 resolves issues from previous iterations, solidifying its position. However, as Dan points out, the limitations of a ring design still impose constraints. «If you’re looking for more extensive features, a smartwatch may be preferable, but for everything else, this is a solid option,» he says.

Rather than emphasizing AI capabilities, the OnePlus 13 integrates high-end components into a visually appealing package at a competitive starting price of $900.

Pros

  • Exceptional battery longevity
  • Brilliant display
  • Strong performance metrics
  • Stylish design
Cons

  • Camera quality could be enhanced
  • Software support spans only six years compared to seven
  • Requires a case for optimal magnetic Qi2 accessory compatibility

$900 at OnePlus

In a market increasingly fixated on AI, OnePlus took a different approach by focusing on creating a desirable flagship phone that avoids unnecessary bloating.
