Engadget Review Recap: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Panasonic S1 II, Samsung QS700F and More
This week’s roundup of reviews covers some exciting new releases from Samsung, Canon, Dell, and Panasonic. Below is a summary of the latest assessments on various devices.
First up, we have the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has reached “foldable phone nirvana” according to our reviewer. This major redesign has finally addressed long-standing concerns about size and weight, making it more appealing to users. With its exquisitely thin design, larger displays, and top-tier performance, this device is a significant improvement over previous models – albeit still extremely expensive at $2,000.
Next, we’ll discuss the Canon EOS R50 V, which falls short of being an all-rounded vlogging camera due to missing crucial features. While it excels in video quality and autofocus speed, its limited functionalities leave room for competitors like Sony’s ZV-E10 II to outshine it. For a first-time vlogger, however, this may still be a suitable option at $699.
We also took a look at the Samsung HW-QS700F soundbar, which is an innovative step away from traditional annual updates. By automatically detecting and adjusting speaker orientation, it’s now a more compelling choice than pricier options on the market – despite its limited 3.1.2-channel audio. As our reviewer noted, “Caveats aside, the best thing about the soundbar is its automatic orientation adjustment.” The device also boasts refined design and easy setup.
Moving on to laptops, we assessed the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1, which, while competent, lacks that certain je ne sais quoi. With an optional mini LED display and above-average battery life, it’s a solid machine, yet fails to stand out in any way – neither with its name nor any other distinguishing feature.
Lastly, we looked at the Panasonic LUMIX S1 II camera, which boasts features like 6K RAW video capabilities and exceptional stabilization. However, this comes at a steep price of $3,198 – rendering it an option mostly for professional creators who need such advanced functionality.
As always, our team strives to provide you with in-depth assessments on various devices, ensuring the best possible purchasing decision.
