Save $300 on the awesome LG StandbyME Go portable monitor
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority
I'm all about minimalism and mobility. If you can relate, you will absolutely love the idea of the LG StandbyME Go portable touchscreen. You can literally use it wherever you go, and it doubles as both a monitor and a smart TV. It's pricey, though, but right now you can get a $300 discount on it, bringing the cost down to a slightly more reasonable $896.99.
Get the LG StandByME Go 27-inch Portable Smart Touchscreen for $869.99 ($300 off)
This 25% sale is available from Amazon as a limited time deal. This means it should end relatively soon, and the discount is applied automatically. Just add it to your cart and check out!
I kinda fell in love with the LG StandByME Go as soon as I saw it. The feeling only strengthened when I checked it out at CES 2025. This is pretty much a 27-inch monitor you can use wherever you go. It is built into a briefcase with a handle, so it actually looks pretty cool when carrying it around, too. Not to mention, it is pretty convenient to transport.
It has a built-in battery, so you can use it unplugged for three hours on a full charge. It's also a pretty nice screen, offering a Full HD 1,080p resolution and a 60-Hz refresh rate. It also sounds pretty good for a portable monitor, as the system has a 4.0-channel speaker setup. Not to mention, the Dolby Atmos and Vision support offer a 'cinematic experience. It also features a touchscreen, so you can kind of use it as an oversized tablet.
It's not all work with the LG StandByME Go, though. Aside from being able to use it as a monitor, it has LG's WebOS smart TV software integrated. This means you can pretty much also use it as a portable TV. It can run on Wi-Fi and also supports Bluetooth. That said, you can really use it with anything, as it has a full HDMI port. Go crazy with it!
I will be honest, though, and tell you it isn't exactly the easiest to carry around. It is a large 27-inch screen with a battery and a better sound system, after all. This makes it pretty large at 30.5 x 22.6 x 7.4 in, and it weighs a whole 28 pounds. I certainly wouldn't carry it during hikes, but it's a great screen you can take on weekend camping trips, picnics, or for work trips. I think it would be a great option for digital nomads like myself. I can see myself working on one of these from the hotel room, during the events we cover.
More importantly, we know many of you buy multiple dedicated screens. You might have a TV, a monitor, and more. The LG StandByME Go could replace multiple screens, saving you both space and money. The fact that it is portable is a tasty cherry on top. It's the one screen that could rule them all.
We've seen better deals on this display, but they are not common, and usually very short-lived. If you've been looking for a great portable screen, you might want to take advantage of this offer soon. It's your chance to avoid getting it at full price!

JBL Charge 6 review: JBL's got greatness playing on repeat
Price: $199 / £149 / (approx. AU$310)Colors: Black, Blue, Funky, Pink, Purple, Red, Sand, Squad, WhiteSize: 9.0 x 3.9 x 3.7 inchesWeight: 2.17 poundsBattery life (rated): 28 hoursConnectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 with SBC and AACDurability: IP68-rated JBL makes some solid wireless earbuds and headphones (Tom's Guide recommends the 4-star Live 770NC), but its portable speakers are even better and more coveted. The all-new JBL Charge 6 follows suit with notable improvements that elevate this carriable bass-blaster to top contender status. The speaker delivers vibrant sound that can be customized through the JBL Portable app (iOS/Android) while additions such as an artificial intelligence sound mode and lossless audio really impress sonically. A full charge was enough for me to entertain crowds for an entire weekend, and I also really liked that the Charge 6 doubled as a power bank to juice up handheld devices and play music simultaneously. Sadly, however, digital assistance and a speakerphone are MIA. The lack of backwards compatibility may also be a dealbreaker for those who already own previously released JBL speakers. The new Playtime Boost battery-saver mode also requires you to make a sacrifice on the audio quality front. Despite those minor issues, though, the Charge 6 is an excellent value and one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers you can buy under $200. You can purchase this speaker for $199 / £149 / AU$310 directly from the JBL website or at online retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy. The speaker is available in nine colors: Black, Blue, Funky Black (with neon pink and blue accents), Pink, Purple, Red, Sand, Squad (aka camo), and White (pictured above). The variety of bright and bold colorways is something you won't find on many competitors and I think the Miami-Vice-inspired Funky Black design looks awesome. JBL portable speakers are built with durability in mind: The Charge 6 is composed of hard post-consumer recycled plastic and dons a rugged woven fabric wrap that protects the drivers. IP68 certification keeps the speaker drop-, dust-, and waterproof up to 1.5 meters submersion for 30 minutes. It's not something you'll want to want to submerge for hours at a time, but know it'll survive an accidental drop in the water. The Charge Series' signature details like the embossed logo and physical buttons on the top remain present in the Charge 6. While the Charge 6 weighs about the same as the Charge 5 (est. 2.2 lbs.), it is heavier than most other handheld speakers like the Beats Pill (1.49 lbs.) and Sonos Roam 2 (0.93 lbs.). Luckily, it isn't cumbersome to lug around, thanks to the removeable handle strap. The strap isn't the highest quality, but it's dependable for transporting the Charge 6 from one location to another and the speaker's sturdy shell should assure you that it won't break if the strap doesn't hold up. The control scheme is a simple one: All controls are placed on the top. The playback button is flanked between the volume buttons. Above them is a flat backlit control strip with three buttons: Bluetooth, power on/off, and Auracast. Each button produces solid tactility and responds to intended commands. You'll need the buttons, as the Charge 6 does not come with voice assistance. (For comparison, the Beats Pill supports Siri and Google Assistant.) Thankfully, connectivity remains a strong point for the series. Range extends to about 40 feet before stuttering. You can pair two Charge 6 speakers together through Auracast for stereo sound or pair up to 100 Auracast-enabled JBL speakers at once. The Charge 6 isn't backwards compatible. In other words, you can't pair it with the Charge 5 or any JBL models programmed with Party Boost. Also, multipoint technology is absent, so you can't pair the speaker to two media devices at the same time. I loved the bassy, full-powered sound that the Charge 5 dished out. JBL's latest speaker is just as dynamic on the audio front and hosts a handful of features that heighten the listening experience. Bass is impactful right out of the box. JBL's 20mm tweeter and newly designed woofer transmit deep lows to your ears, along with crisp mids and highs. Instruments sound more distinctive, and vocals have more depth. Bangers like Travis Scott's 'Butterfly Effect' reverberate with intensity. The Charge 6 doesn't hold back on the track's immense boom effects and synths, which create a euphoric vibe the longer you're immersed in the track. I thought the heavily emphasized low end would create mass distortion, but that wasn't the case. Despite its reliance on thumpy sound, the Charge 6 demonstrates fantastic frequency range. The tinny hi-hats on Tupac's 'I Get Around' remain transparent over the prominent and punchy snares, while chill reggae bops like Q's 'be with ya' have resonant midrange that make the singer's falsettos more impactful and personal. Live performances are equally satisfying to hear — Fleetwood Mac's rendition of 'Everywhere' at Warner Brothers Studios made for a serene listen. Employing the customizable EQ or pre-engineered presets will either increase or decrease quality, depending on recordings. The default Signature gets you the most balanced sound. Chill brings the bass levels down a few notches and Energetic raises them higher, causing minor distortion at high volume. Another feature that can affect output is Playtime Boost, a new mode that prioritizes power preservation over sound quality. JBL's AI Sound Boost mode adjusts sound in real time based on your listening environment and is mostly effective. Anyone with detailed hearing can pick up on the clearer-sounding lows and mids. Lossless audio is becoming more common on wireless Bluetooth speakers. I loved testing the feature on the Beats Pill and found it just as enticing on the Charge 6. The differences in clarity and depth are obvious when it's connected to a wired device. One speaker is enough to fill an entire room with loud, engaging sound, and connecting two or more speakers (up to 100) creates broader 360-degree sound. The JBL Portable app is easy to navigate, looks attractive, and provides access to some features. I already touched on big ones: AI Sound Boost, Auracast connectivity, custom EQ, lossless audio, multi-speaker connectivity, and presets. Other extras include a battery level indicator, firmware updates, and the Playtime Boost mode. Everything you need is in the app. A full charge gives you up to 24 hours of battery life – the same as the Beats Pill. This is more than enough listening time for a weekend's worth of day parties. Bear in mind that high volume and special features reduce playtime by about 3 to 4 hours. Even then, you're given plenty of power to keep jams bumping at the family cookout. Playtime Boost mode extends listening time to 28 hours. Turning it on will decrease sound quality; I noticed a huge dip in bass response. The Charge 6 lets you recharge portable devices, including MP3 players, smartphones, tablets, and your dead portable chargers. Its built-in battery isn't powerful enough for laptops. According to JBL, a 10-minute quick charge nets you 150 minutes (2.5 hours) of use. There is no denying the Charge 6's greatness. Updates to audio performance, battery life, connectivity, and portability cement it as a top pick for brand loyalists and consumers who want a speaker that sounds as robust as it looks. AI Sound Boost does an impressive job optimizing playback based on surrounding ambient noise, while lossless audio results in hi-fi bliss over USB-C connection. Longer playtimes and widespread pairing of up to 100 speakers make this a terrific mini party speaker. Still, I think it's not the be all, end all of Bluetooth speakers. It's baffling why there wouldn't be a speakerphone or voice assistance on a sixth-gen product. Not having a USB-C cable bundled with the purchase is chintzy, especially when JBL is pushing lossless audio, which requires the accessory. Not having backwards compatibility with last-gen speakers also feels like a betrayal to fans who've already invested heavily in JBL's wireless audio ecosystem. Those who own the Charge 5 are within their right to stick with it since the speaker holds up well against the competition, though everyone else will want to consider picking up the Charge 6 for its futureproofing and premium perks that are unavailable on older JBL models.

I'm worried Samsung will make a critical mistake with the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra
Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority Well, things just got interesting (and a bit confusing) for Samsung's next foldable phone. On Tuesday evening, Samsung announced that it's bringing the company's 'Ultra' branding to its foldables for the first time this summer. The announcement came alongside a teaser of a book-style foldable, suggesting that the phone we've been referring to as the 'Galaxy Z Fold 7' may go by a different name, likely 'Galaxy Z Fold Ultra' or 'Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra.' As someone who's been pretty lukewarm on the last couple of years of Galaxy Z Folds, the prospect of a significant upgrade this year is exciting. And with Samsung going all-out with the Ultra branding, it certainly suggests that's what we're getting. The only problem is that rumors suggest this year's Z Fold won't have all the makings of an 'Ultra' foldable. The new name is setting expectations at an all-time high, but if what we know about the new Z Fold is true, the Ultra name may be unwarranted and misleading. What do you think the next Galaxy Z Fold will be called? 0 votes Galaxy Z Fold 7 NaN % Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra NaN % Galaxy Z Fold Ultra NaN % Other (let us know in the comments) NaN % The Galaxy Z Fold we've been waiting for? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has leaked a lot over the last few months, and assuming that's the phone that'll be known as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra/Z Fold 7 Ultra, some of the leaks certainly indicate the Ultra name will be justified. Perhaps the biggest sign of this is the new design. Leaked renders of the Z Fold 7 have suggested its aesthetics won't be that dissimilar to the Z Fold 6, though this year's phone should be substantially thinner and lighter. Samsung all but confirms this in the new teaser above, showing the silhouette of a foldable phone that's noticeably thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. There's also language in the press release about this Ultra foldable offering ample power 'without weighing you down,' hinting at the reduced weight, too. We've heard reports that the Z Fold 7's primary camera will replace the aging 50MP sensor with a significantly more capable 200MP one, aligning it with the Galaxy S25 Ultra's primary camera. The screens are also rumored to be larger, increasing from an 8.2-inch inner display to an 8.5-inch one, along with a new 6.5-inch cover screen, replacing the previous 6.2-inch size. Finally, there should be the usual chipset upgrade, meaning the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely be powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip found in the Galaxy S25 series. Samsung has placed far greater expectations on this year's Z Fold by adding the Ultra name. So far, so good, right? A thinner and lighter design, larger displays, a new primary camera, and a better chipset. Those are all meaningful upgrades, and if we were going from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I'd be pretty happy. But if we're now going from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra, I expect the specifications across the board to reflect that. And unfortunately, we have reason to believe that won't be the case. Ultra has to mean ultra Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority As impressive as the changes above may be, there's plenty about the Galaxy Z Fold 7/Fold 7 Ultra that's reportedly staying the same — and they're pretty important things, too. Chief among them is battery capacity. Regulatory filings indicate that the new Z Fold will have a 4,400mAh battery, which, for reference, is the exact capacity currently found in the Galaxy Z Fold 6. In fact, it's the same battery size that Samsung has used in the Z Fold series since the Galaxy Z Fold 3. In a world where competing foldables like the Honor Magic V3 and OPPO Find N5 offer 5,150mAh and 5,600mAh batteries, respectively, Samsung not making any progress on this front with its first Ultra foldable would be hard to grapple with. Plenty about the Galaxy Z Fold 7/Fold 7 Ultra is reportedly staying the same. It's also believed that charging speeds will remain the same, which is equally disappointing. Another year of 25W wired charging, in 2025, on an Ultra-branded foldable, would look ridiculous. This is especially true since Honor and OPPO's foldables mentioned above blow Samsung out of the water, with 66W and 80W wired charge speeds, respectively. Furthermore, as exciting as the new 200MP primary camera may be, we aren't expecting any other camera changes. That means another year of the 12MP ultrawide camera, 10MP telephoto camera, 10MP front-facing camera, and 4MP under-display camera — the same camera specs we've had since the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Does any of that sound Ultra to you? Samsung is playing a dangerous game Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority When Samsung first introduced the Ultra moniker in 2020 with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, it signaled a drastic upgrade from the company's other phones. The Galaxy S20 Ultra was the first Galaxy S handset with a 6.9-inch display, 16GB of RAM, a 108MP primary camera, and 100x zoom. It was a big deal, and it largely justified the Ultra name. In the years since, however, the weight behind that Ultra branding has become less and less. It feels hardly warranted on devices like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy Watch Ultra, with the Ultra name now used out of habit rather than signaling significant changes or upgrades. It's been somewhat commendable that Samsung has kept its Ultra branding away from its foldables for so long, so the fact that it's coming this year after six previous generations is a big deal — and why expectations for a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra are so heightened. Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority If Samsung wants to release a Galaxy Z Fold with the Ultra name, great! But if that happens, it should mean something. The first Ultra foldable needs to be a significant enough upgrade in all respects to earn its Ultra label, and based on the leaks so far, it doesn't seem likely that this will happen this year. Samsung's first Z Fold Ultra shouldn't have outdated camera sensors, a mediocre battery capacity, or woefully slow charging speeds. Yet, that's what we're expecting. I'm not against the idea of a Galaxy Z Fold Ultra ever being released, but when it happens, the first Ultra should be the pinnacle of Samsung foldables; the very best the company can do. If the Z Fold 7 Ultra isn't that phone, it shouldn't be called an Ultra. And if it is, that's just bad marketing and a bad idea all around.

You Have Less Than a Month Left to Join Apple's Big Privacy Settlement: Here's What to Do
Apple is now accepting claims for its major Siri privacy settlement and you could get a piece of the $95 million payout. Viva Tung/CNET Accidentally turning on Siri is probably one of the more annoying parts of owning Apple products -- at least, if you're me it is -- but you know what might definitely make up for that? Getting paid for it. You'll have to get a move on though, because there's less than a month left until until the deadline. Years after it was initially sued for allegedly having voice assistant Siri listen in on conversations, Apple at the start of 2025 chose to settle the class-action suit to the tune of $95 million. Now, some of that money could be yours as a claims website has been launched. Here's everything you'll need to know. The settlement period covers a full decade and given the ubiquity of Apple products, there's a good chance you'll be eligible for a piece of the payout. If you meet the eligibility standards, you can claim a payment for up to five Siri-enabled devices, with a cap on how much you can receive per device. We'll get into the specific amount a little bit later. The impact of this settlement has the potential to be wide-ranging, given the reach of Apple's product ecosystem. According to a Business of Apps report from November, citing company and market research data, there were roughly 155 million active iPhones in the US as of 2024, a number that's been steadily increasing since the product's debut. Similarly, active Apple TV streaming boxes in the US have also been increasing year to year, with more than 32 million active in the US as of 2023. To find out if you're eligible for this settlement, read on. For more, find out what's up with the recent delay of T-Mobile data breach settlement checks. Who sued Apple and why? This class action lawsuit, Lopez et al v. Apple Inc., was first brought against Apple in 2019, with plaintiffs alleging that they were routinely recorded by their Apple devices after unintentionally activating the Siri virtual assistant, violating their privacy in the process. They further alleged that these recordings were then sold to advertisers and used to target them with ads online. Specific incidents mentioned in the suit include plaintiffs seeing ads online for brands like Air Jordan and Olive Garden after Apple device users discussed them out loud. In some instances, plaintiffs claimed that their devices began listening to them without them having said anything at all. At least one plaintiff involved in the case was a minor when it was first filed. Though it agreed to the settlement, Apple hasn't admitted any wrongdoing. "Siri has been engineered to protect user privacy from the beginning," Apple said in a statement sent to CNET. "Siri data has never been used to build marketing profiles and it has never been sold to anyone for any purpose. Apple settled this case to avoid additional litigation so we can move forward from concerns about third-party grading that we already addressed in 2019. We use Siri data to improve Siri and we are constantly developing technologies to make Siri even more private." Who is eligible for this class action settlement? The eligibility requirements for this settlement are fairly broad, as it's open to anyone who owned a Siri-enabled Apple device between Sept. 17, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2024. In order to opt in, you'll have to swear under oath that at some point during that period, you accidentally activated Siri on each device you want to get a payment for, and that these activations occurred during a conversation meant to be private. Siri-enabled devices include iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks, iMacs, Apple TV streaming boxes, HomePod speakers and iPod Touches. How can I opt in to this Apple settlement? As of Thursday, May 8, a website has been launched where Apple customers can claim a portion of the settlement, if they believe they qualify. If you're looking to submit a claim, you have until July 2, 2025, to do so. It's not clear at this time when payments will be disbursed to approved claimants but it will surely be sometime after Aug. 1, 2025, when a final approval hearing is scheduled. How much can I get from the class action settlement? Payments per device are to be capped at $20, although depending on how many people opt in to the settlement, claimants could receive less than that. Each individual can only claim payments for up to five devices, meaning the maximum possible payment you could receive from the settlement is $100.
