Engadget Review Recap: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Panasonic S1 II, Samsung QS700F and More
We’re wrapping up the latest batch of reviews from our team of experts here at Engadget. In this recap, we’ll take a closer look at some of the most recent tests, including the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Panasonic LUMIX S1 II, Samsung QS700F soundbar, and Dell’s revamped 16 Plus 2-in-1 laptop.
First off, let’s discuss the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. With its reduced size and thickness, this latest flagship has finally reached foldable phone nirvana. While it boasts a plethora of impressive specs, including a massive 200MP main camera and top-tier performance, its steep $2,000 price tag may be out of reach for many consumers.
Next up is the Canon EOS R50 V, which earns an 83% expert score. This budget-friendly camera excels in video quality and boasts fast autofocus, but falls short in terms of features compared to its competitors. As our reviewer Steve Dent noted, “Canon’s R50 V is a pretty good first try for a vlogging camera, hitting the mark in key areas like video quality and usability… however, [it] lacks rival features like electronic stabilization.”
Moving on to audio gear, we take a closer look at Samsung’s HW-QS700F soundbar. With its innovative automatic orientation adjustment feature, crisp and balanced sound, and refined design, this model is an attractive option for those seeking high-quality audio without breaking the bank. While it may not be perfect, our reviewer noted that “the best thing about the QS700F is its automatic orientation adjustment… which isn’t always the case with these devices.”
We also delve into the world of photography with the Panasonic LUMIX S1 II, earning a score of 82%. This hybrid camera boasts incredible features like fast shooting speeds, impressive handling, and excellent video quality. However, our reviewer Steve emphasized that its high price tag is difficult to justify when comparing it to more affordable alternatives.
Lastly, we review Dell’s revamped 16 Plus 2-in-1 laptop. With a score of 80%, this machine boasts solid build, an adaptable design, and even an optional mini LED display. While it may not excel in any one area, our reviewer Sam noted that “it’s a totally serviceable machine, but it doesn’t have a single trait or feature that endears itself to its user.”
For those looking for a concise summary of each device, we’ve compiled the below comparison chart:
| Device | Expert Score |
| — | — |
| Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 | 88% |
| Canon EOS R50 V | 83% |
