This week we got our first look at the Realme XT, the first device to sport Samsung's 64MP camera sensor. In our hands-on time with the device, we were impressed with the Google Pixel-like images it produced. We'll find out soon if the next device with the sensor, the Redmi Note 8 Pro, can produce similar results.
As for non-smartphones, we checked out several other devices, including a best-in-class Wear OS smartwatch, the Fitbit Versa 2 with Amazon Alexa, an ultra-portable smartphone gimbal, and an affordable pair of true-wireless earbuds.
We also reviewed the entry-level Realme 5 and got some hands-on time with the modular Fairphone 3 and the stylish Oppo Reno 2.
