Engadget’s latest review roundup assesses five consumer technology products, finding a mixture of strong hardware and compromises around value or configuration. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is seen as falling short of its potential, while Dell’s updated XPS 13 is criticised in its entry-level form; Samsung’s QS90H soundbar and Insta360’s X6 action camera receive more positive assessments.

The Z Fold 8 Ultra is considered less compelling than a device combining the standard Fold 8’s design with Ultra-level performance. Engadget advises avoiding the XPS 13’s 8GB base model in favour of 16GB RAM, praises the QS90H’s built-in bass and Convertible Fit design despite its high price, calls the X6 a worthwhile upgrade for owners of an Insta360 X4 or older, and says Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition is stylish and capable but expensive.
