Android Accessories

While fighting the constant battle to keep my office desk clean, I tend to always leave a few favorite devices and accessories on my desk. These bits of tech never leave my direct sight, and have become irreplaceable in my day-to-day use. This is my top tech.

Thanks to increased visibility or interest, there are now more high-quality accessories for the Google Pixel 9 series than ever before. We’ve been testing the devices for a while, and here are some of our favorites that we think you might want to try.

Do we have enough “premium” accessories for the Google Pixel lineup? With increasing prominence, growing sales, and people making the switch, are third-party accessory makers letting the team down?

With brand-new phones come brand-new accessories. Is getting an official Pixel 9 case going to mean pixel-perfect, and do these first-party accessories make financial sense?

If you’ve recently picked up the Google Pixel 8a, it almost goes without saying that you’ll want to protect your prized possession. Since the device’s official launch, we’ve tested a number of cases and shortlisted some of the very best for the Pixel 8a.

Whether you’re a gamer, a style icon, or someone who needs a little more juice, we’ve got you covered. Buckle up and get ready to explore some Pixel 8 and 8 Pro essentials that will make you wonder how you ever lived without them!

When you’ve potentially spent upwards of $1,199 on the latest Galaxy S23 Ultra, you might want to keep that gorgeous high refresh rate panel protected. There are tons of options at various price points, but one brand that keeps on producing some of the most expensive screen protectors is Whitestone. Is the latest Whitestone Dome Glass worth for the Galaxy S23 Ultra? We’ve tested them to find out.

If there is one thing (besides the battery life) of the Pixel Watch that we lament, it’s the distinct lack of reputable accessories for the wearable. However, in recent months Spigen and its subsidiary Caseolgy have launched Pixel Watch accessories including cases, covers, and integrated straps. We’ve spent time with them to find out if they are any good.

Often when people buy a case for their brand-new smartphone, you’ll follow up with a screen protector. The most premium option for most Android phones including the newly released Pixel 7 and 7 Pro comes from Korean firm Whitestone, and its Dome Glass is now available for Google’s handsets. Are they worth the asking price? We’ve tested them to find out.

If you’ve recently picked up the Google Pixel 7, it almost goes without saying that you’ll want to protect your prized possession. Since the device’s official launch, we’ve tested a number of cases and shortlisted some of the very best for the Pixel 7.

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro official cases are similar to the previous generation, but considering the Pixel 6 official accessory had a fatal flaw, have things been improved?

With a huge hype train comes the expectation that a product will deliver. There’s no denying that Carl Pei’s latest venture will have to live up to a lot of scrutiny over the coming months (and potentially years), but with the launch of the first product — the ear (1) earbuds — we now have a fairly good idea of what Nothing is all about.

After striking gold with the TicWatch Pro 3, Mobvoi’s Earbuds Gesture wireless Bluetooth headphones have arrived after a successful Indiegogo campaign complete with some hands-free head gestures.

In lieu of an IFA launch event, Huawei has held a slightly delayed annual Developers Conference and used that as the vehicle to launch some new products including the FreeBuds Pro, Watch GT 2 Pro, and some other notable hardware.

If you want an affordable fitness band then the Xiaomi Mi Band series has provided a sort of “go-to” option ever since the first iteration. The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 continues that tradition with some notable — but minor — hardware improvements all without needing a major price bump.

Apple’s influence in the world of smartphone audio accessories is undoubted. There is absolutely no denying where Urbanista took design cues for the recently released London earbuds.

The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z might not be at the top of most shopping lists when you’re in the market for a pair of wireless earbuds, mainly due to that extra tether.
