Black Friday is upon us! It’s time to whip out those credit cards and get some killer deals on some awesome tech. Fortunately, we have rounded up all the best deals for you in our Black Friday Hub. Dive on in and get ready for some savings!
Meanwhile in the tech world, we had some new developments. Right off the bat, our full review of the SKAGEN Falster 2 smartwatch is in. The good news is that SKAGEN put in everything we asked for in our SKAGEN Falster review last year. The bad news is that the watch is still pretty terrible — laggy and doesn’t even last a full day on a charge. No bueno.
The rest of this week was dominated by processor announcements, processor comparisons, camera announcements, and camera comparisons. Variety is indeed the spice of life, so when Mark Zuckerberg made his management staff switch from iPhone to Android, it was all good. Then we’ve got a redesign for our favorite podcast app, a new color for one of our favorite phones, and we get a look at a flip phone you will drool over.
Here are your top stories for the week
