The Vantrue Sonnet S1 Pro Max aims to stand out in a crowded dashcam market with dual 4K recording, STARVIS 2 sensors, and a long list of advanced features. I’ve been using it for a while and wanted to see how well it performs in everyday driving conditions—particularly at night. So how does it stack up?

Nintendo’s Today! app has delivered some notable reveals since it was first introduced earlier this year. One of which was the official confirmation of the upcoming live-action Zelda movie, right before it delayed the official release date to May 7, 2027. Fast-forward to today, and Nintendo has revealed who it is casting to play the titular character and the Hero of Light. 

Apple’s updated MagSafe charger, introduced alongside the iPhone 16 lineup last year, is currently the only magnetic wireless charger capable of delivering up to 25W of power. That’s about to change, though, as UGREEN has announced the world’s first Qi2.2-certified power bank. According to the brand, its new MagFlow magnetic power bank will also support up to 25W wireless charging – putting it in direct competition with Apple’s latest MagSafe offering. The new charger is expected to launch later this year, and you can find more details about it below.

Earlier this spring a brand new Anker Nano Charging Station with an onboard display similar to the Anker Prime lineup that has been popular among 9to5Toys readers quickly appeared over in Japan. Fast forward to this week, and the new Anker Nano Charging Station (7-in-1, 100W) is now up for sale on Amazon here in the U.S. complete with a pair of retractable USB-C cables, additional USB-C charging ports, and three AC outlets around back. Scope it out down below. 

8Bitdo has just unleashed its new Pro 3 wireless controller, now up for pre-order on Amazon. This is the successor to the popular Pro 2 model from 2021, offering broader compatibility with a wide range of platforms, including the Switch 2, Valve’s Steam Deck and other SteamOS-based handhelds, PC, iOS, and more. You can pre-order and reserve your unit now for $69.99 shipped, and be among the first to get your hands on it when it officially launches on August 12, 2025. The listing is also covered by Amazon’s Pre-order Price Guarantee, which means you’ll pay the lowest price offered between now and the release date. The Pro 3 brings several improvements over the existing model, so be sure to hit the jump for a closer look at the gamepad along with its features.

Just a little over a month after the official announcement, we now have an idea of how much the upcoming Xbox-branded ROG Ally handheld consoles may cost. As highlighted in a new report, it appears as though Google Search pulled some results from ASUS’ website and listed the Xbox Ally X and Ally at €899 and €599, respectively. You are looking at the European prices, though they give us a good understanding of how much they could cost in the U.S. market as well. Hit the jump for more details.

It’s going to be a relatively big week for Nintendo and Switch owners as Donkey Kong Bananza is set to hit store shelves on Thursday. It, perhaps outside of Mario Kart World, has been among the most highly-anticipated Switch 2 releases thus far, but the exclusive Switch 2 game lineup is still relatively thin and fans seem to be clamoring for more. But worry not – a reliable Nintendo leaker has recently divulged that the next Nintendo Direct showcase is likely to go live this month. 

The next big-time Switch 2 exclusive release is landing later this week, and if you’re yet to grab a console, we are are also getting  Best Buy console restock. Donkey Kong Bananza is set for release on July 17 – the same day Best Buy has officially confirmed it will have Nintendo Switch 2 consoles in stock once again. 

Amazon’s massive Prime Day sale (mostly) ended early Saturday morning, but Walmart is still going strong through today with its 2025 competitor sale. Featuring thousands of deals, Walmart has some of the most notable discounts of all the major retailers this year. So good in fact that it prompted Amazon to drop the prices ever lower on select gear – the best price ever on AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max, for example – and you still have time to jump in as it enters the final 24 hours today. 

Walmart is now once again offering Walmart+ memberships at $49 – that’s 50% off the usual annual fee. While this deal cannot be used to extend an existing annual subscription, it is landing just in time to kick off the retailer’s massive summer sale that is set to go live on Monday with early access for members. Details below. 

The final 24 hours of the massive Amazon Prime Day sale is now in full swing. We have already uncovered some fresh new price drops and most of the best deals are still alive and well – everything awaits you down below. From the best prices ever on some of Apple’s latest and most popular releases, to the brand new Samsung foldables and massive price drops across the Google pixel ecosystem, we also have deals on all of the storage and tech accessories you could ever need, loads of top-tier e-bike offers, and some of the lowest prices to date on the biggest smart home gear in the game, plus a whole lot more. Head below for our updated Prime Day deals hub. 

As we reported a couple days ago, Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are now available on Amazon, and now all of the official Nintendo Switch 2 accessories are too. Unlike the consoles that are locked behind Amazon’s invite request system (more details on that right here), all of Nintendo’s Switch 2 add-ons are now available for purchase and in-stock (for now anyway).

• Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle – Request invite at Amazon

This marks the start of the new Mega Evolution Series and the return of Mega Evolution Pokémon to the TCG for the first time since the Sun & Moon era. Here is what you need to know.

We are now officially into day 3 of Amazon’s massive 96-hour Prime Day sale. We are once again seeing a series of new deals pop up in its Today’s Big Deals section alongside a host of fresh discounts we have sleuthed out in the early hours of the morning.

We are officially moving into day 2 of the massive 2025 July Prime Day sale at Amazon. Alongside huge summer savings events at Walmart and Target, as well as the Black Friday in July sale at Best Buy, we are looking at the best prices of the year on a gigantic number of products, not to mention a series of new all-time lows on big ticket gear from Apple and brand new releases in the e-bikes space, but that’s just for starters. Down below you will find an updated collection of all the best Prime Day deals now up for grabs, including all of yesterday’s top offers and the new deals that are going live for day 2.

From Apple, Google, and Samsung gear right through to all of the best accessories for all of them, smart home deals, e-bikes, and much more. 

Amazon Prime Day 2025 is now live!

You’ll also find loads of early Prime Day deals on Amazon’s in-house gear already on tap today too.

For those of you with penchant for leather craftsmanship, gorgeous carriers for your EDC and tech, and an affinity for the finer things, meet the new Harber London Leather Crossbody Bag. Easily the most gorgeous lightweight tech carrier I have tested out for summer 2025, let’s dive into some hands-in impressions to see if the hefty price tag is actually worth it. 

As you already know from our reporting, the first Prime Day event of the year, and the only one until we get into October is right around the corner now with select early deals already live right now. Set to kick off next week at 3 a.m. ET on July 8, we have already detailed how this year’s July event is going to be different than any other Prime Day sale we have seen to date, but Amazon has just officially revealed a sneak peek at some of the deals that will be up for grabs next week. 

Reports are surfacing all over the internet about what could very well be a detrimental flaw in the Nintendo Switch 2 design with regards to overheating issues. Yesterday we detailed some Joy-Con connection issues, likely due to faulty or lower-quality HDMI cable use, but the overheating issue might not have a work around at all. 

Publisher Bandai Namco is set to hit the virtual stage today with its 2025 summer game showcase. Scheduled to go live today on its official YouTube channel this afternoon, the publisher has already teased some of today’s big announcements and promises updates on some of its major upcoming titles as well. Check it all out down below. 

Reports have been surfacing in major way over the last 48 hours or so of issues regarding Joy-Con connectivity on Switch 2. If you have been experiencing constant or even internment connection issues with your Switch 2 controllers, that HDMI cable you’re using is likely the culprit. Details await below.

One of the biggest issues I often run into with Hall effect gaming keyboards is that they typically fall short when it comes to typing experience outside of gaming. The few that do get it right – or at least come close – like the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE, usually cost over $300. As someone who enjoys building and tweaking mechanical keyboards as a hobby, I found myself constantly switching between standard mechanical keyboards for typing and Hall effect models for gaming. That changed when I got my hands on the Luminkey Magger68 Pro HE. Built by a brand known for offering a wide range of layouts and catering to enthusiasts with “high-end” custom boards, the Magger68 strikes that rare balance, at least for me. It’s not only great for typing but also includes all the key magnetic keyboard features like customizable actuation points. I’ve been using it as my main keyboard for both work and gaming over the past few weeks, and in this review, I’ll break down whether it’s worth considering for your setup. Hit the jump for a closer look.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be available to purchase today at Best Buy folks. This restock, in case you missed our previous coverage, is in-store only and most U.S. Best Buy locations open up at 10 a.m. local time (though you might want to call ahead of time to check your specific store). 

Ahead of the Switch 2 launch in the wake of Trump’s ugly tariff situation, analysts sent shockwaves through the gaming world after suggesting the price of the next-gen Nintendo console might end up being even higher than Nintendo initially revealed. Nintendo held the fort and stayed strong on the $449 and $499 launch prices nonetheless, but it still remains to be seen if it will remain steadfast into 2026, especially considering Nintendo Canada just officially announced what sounds a lot like hardware price hikes. 

While Best Buy just transitioned from its own early members-only sale to the now live 4th of July sale, it is officially readying its Prime Day competitor sale too. Best Buy’s Black Friday in July event will go live one day before Amazon Prime Day and we have the details for you below. 

UGREEN offers a wide range of MagSafe chargers, but the 3-in-1 MagFlow charger we’re looking at today stands out as one of the more compact and travel-friendly options. It can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once, making it a convenient all-in-one solution. I’ve recently swapped out UGREEN’s Uno Qi2 15W 2-in-1 charger for this model, and it’s been a great upgrade for my desk — especially since it’s more compact and supports an extra device. Dive in below for my hands-on impressions of the UGREEN 15W 3-in-1 MagFlow charger.

Another month ending means another month of new LEGO building sets! After last month’s massive 50-set extravaganza, I’m sure there are plenty of builders with light or empty pockets, so rest easy knowing July will be far less busy a month for everyone’s favorite brick-built pastime – but that doesn’t mean the offers are any less tempting. While it may be a much smaller pick of options (only five sets this month), there is no shortage of quality, and these new LEGO sets releasing in July 2025 already have me eager for the clock to tick over. Head below to check them out.

We had a solid run of Switch 2 console restocks this week at both Best Buy and Walmart, but there’s more on the way again. While this week’s events were all online, if you still didn’t get a chance to score one just yet, it looks like you’ll get another shot at it next week, according to an official Best Buy update. 

Now just a few weeks after the release of Nintendo Switch 2 and the new GameCube library, Nintendo has announced the first expansion to its retro Switch Online game library. Early next month, Nintendo will officially expand the Switch 2 GameCube library for the first time with its fourth entry, Super Mario Strikers. 

While most of the massive summer game showcases are now well behind us, there’s still one more to come as Capcom is readying to take the virtual stage tonight. After the new Resident Evil Requiem stole the show (for most gamers) at Summer Game Fest, tonight’s Capcom Spotlight might be one of the more anticipated showings in recent years and we already know RE9 is on the docket. 

Amazon’s first massive Prime Day sale of the year is fast approaching and it has already started to unleash some early Prime Day preview deals. This year’s July event is already shaping up to be one of, if not, the biggest ever as Amazon has significantly expanded its reach while also changing up the daily format for the first time ever. Head below for everything you need to know to get ready for Prime Day 2025. 

Just after the reveal of its next-generation flagship earbuds, Bose debuted and launched its all-new SoundLink Plus portable speaker. We have had a couple weeks to put it to the test to see if that $269 price of entry is worth it, and without giving up too many spoilers, it very much is if you can appreciate a minimalist speaker that sounds great but doesn’t come with many extras. 

Update 6/25 9 p.m. ET: Now live for Walmart+ members (everyone else at 10 p.m. ET):

• Nintendo Switch 2 Console
• Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

Okay this it folks – the next major Switch 2 restock is going live today. As we have reported on previously, Walmart is scheduled to have what we have been told by inside sources is quite a substantial number of Switch 2 consoles up for grabs this evening, and we are here to do everything we can to make sure you get one. 

Half of the point of the Nintendo Switch 2 is to use it on the go, but you certainly want a case to do that. The dbrand Killswitch is, in many ways, the best Nintendo Switch 2 case I could ask for, but it does have one big flaw.

Twelve South is back again today with its latest new release – the Curve Nano. Just after the release of the all-in-one PowerCord charging solution, today the brand is introducing its latest ultra-simple pocket-sized smartphone accessory. Scope out the details below. 

Sony is readying its 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus celebration. There’s still time to go claim the June PlayStation Plus freebies that were announced as part of the Days of Play sale, but Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to announce the July titles alongside some extra bonuses. There will once again be three new titles members can download for FREE starting next week, but Sony is also revealing some PlayStation Plus 15th Anniversary goodies as well. Details below. 

Over the years, I have tested wallets of all shapes, form factors, functions, and sizes, from traditional bi-folds to MagSafe wallets to wallets made of metal. Some were great, some were not so much. But even with the ones that I like, I always felt like I was sacrificing something. Whether it was not enough for the cards to fit, or there were no mgsafe capabilities, or the wallet was too thick. So when I saw the new Puncube Mech wallet and saw their fan-out mechanism to display their cards, I knew I had to try it. After using it daily, here’s why it’s officially my new favorite wallet.

NVIDIA has been adding new GPUs to its RTX 50-series and the latest one on the block is the RTX 5050 graphics card. The brand has announced the launch of this new GPU for both desktops and laptops, complete with support for ray tracing and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. The RTX 5050 desktop GPU will start at $249 when it goes on sale next month from third-party partners like ASUS, Gigabyte, and more, and you can expect the notebooks powered by NVIDIA’s RTX 5050 laptop GPUs to start at $999. Head below for more details.

Today Nomad is debuting its brand new Leather Mag Wallet – a leather MagSafe wallet complete with Apple Find My tracking tech. The brand already makes my personal favorite Find My wallet tracking card, and recently started bundling it with its traditional leather card holders and bifold wallets with a discount, but today’s reveal combines both into a traditional MagSafe wallet that attaches to the back of your iPhone. 

Meta teased an Xbox-branded Quest VR headset last year when it announced the launch of the Xbox app on Quest, and it’s finally here. The brand’s new Xbox-branded limited-edition Quest 3S VR headset is now official and it’s going on sale today for $399.99 shipped at Best Buy and meta.com. This is essentially a custom colorway headset that comes bundled with an Xbox controller, and it boots directly into the Xbox app. Head below for more details.

After Donkey Kong Bananza releases next month on July 17, the summer Switch 2 release schedule is looking a bit thin if you ask me. That said, Nintendo just unleashed a new trailer for its upcoming Drag X Drive in the Nintendo Today! app officially revealing the August release date. 

Following the announcement of its new Xbox PC gaming handheld, Microsoft has now confirmed that it’s testing a new aggregated game library in the Xbox PC app for Windows 11 PCs and handheld devices. Officially confirmed via the Xbox Wire, the move is designed to improve access to game libraries – not just on traditional PCs, but more importantly on Windows-based gaming handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go and ROG Ally. This is a welcomed move that’s expected to significantly improve the gaming experience on Microsoft’s upcoming handheld, and you can learn more about the aggregated game library below.

The Amazon July Prime Day sale is just over two weeks out now, we already have the details on Target’s competitor sale, Best Buy launched its members-only event this morning, and now we know what Walmart has planned. The retailer has now officially announced its big-time July sale as the simply named Walmart Deals event is now scheduled to take flight starting on Tuesday July 8 at 12 a.m. ET. All of the details we have are awaiting down below. 

While Switch 2 consoles have been all but entirely sold out online at major retailers since launch week, Walmart has now confirmed it will have more units up for sale starting next week. Both the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle and the Switch 2 console will be live on line starting June 25, but you’ll want to head below for the exact times and some additional details. 

It it’s time to take a look at the upcoming Switch 2 game release schedule. The Switch 2 is clearly off to a wonderful start in terms of sales and Mario Kart World has (mostly) been a big hit among gamers, but despite Switch 2 delivering a more or less solid launch lineup as far as new console launches go, there still feels like something is missing for me. That said, there are some wonderful upgraded Switch 1 games to enjoy and whole host of notable titles on the horizon, both this year and next.
