Best USB-C flash drives in 2023
Take advantage of durability and convenience with a Type-C flash drive
Although cloud storage services and wireless local data transfers have reduced some of the reliance on flash drives, they are still going strong. This is because USB flash drives (aka thumb drives, memory sticks, or pen drives) provide one of the most painless ways of transferring or backing up data.
An entry-level device from a storied manufacturer, the 2022 version of the Moto G Power doesn't exactly wow in terms of specs, but it's a reasonable choice among the various affordable Motorola smartphones.

They're not massively popular just yet, but hype continues to build around the latest and greatest Amazon Fire TVs for very good reason.

Some ridiculous early Prime Day deals on Amazon's own, streamlined electronics
Prime Day is especially huge for deals on electronics, so it makes perfect sense for Amazon to get ahead of the game and lure us gadget lovers to its own ever-expanding brands of entertainment and smart home devices.

Moto Razr+ (2023) vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: The battle of the flips
The leading hamburger-fold smartphones go head to head
The fourth generation of Samsung's groundbreaking Galaxy Z Flip series delivered a top-notch experience that brought a lot of us over to the "dark side" of loving foldable phones. After eyeing Samsung's North American flagship success for years, though, Motorola appears to have finally gotten its act together, offering a competent and outright excellent competitor in the Moto Razr+. It has a similar form factor as the Z Flip 4 but adds some remarkably helpful features, making it even more appealing to some than Samsung's innovative Z Flip lineup.
Marking OnePlus's first foray into the increasingly robust Android tablet market, the OnePlus Pad was a pleasant surprise in our review of the OnePlus Pad. Priced just a bit above the iconic iPad, it offers an above-average Android tablet experience at a reasonable price and with remarkable durability. While it's not perfect (few devices are), our only consistent gripe was the large and oddly placed camera bump. However, as you might guess, the right case can mitigate that issue for the most part. Do keep in mind, though, there aren't a ton of cases available yet, since it's a brand-new release and has seen a bit of a soft launch so far.
Smart home security systems make a crucial safety-minded addition to the constantly expanding smart device market. One significant portion of that market, smart locks, represent one of the most convenient uses of smart technology. A good smart lock gives you near-instantaneous control and monitoring over the doors in your home. It prevents getting locked out of your house; makes it easy to admit guests, contractors, and cleaners; and ensures you're always aware when people are entering or leaving.
Move over, Samsung. While it's been three years since North America's seen a flagship Motorola smartphone, the new 2023 Moto Razr+ hits the ground running as arguably the best horizontal-foldable yet. Like all folding smartphones, it is, of course, pretty costly and worth keeping safe from damage.
