There's something very satisfying about turning your phone into a full-blown gaming rig, and the Razer Kishi Ultra basically does just that. It's $99.99 right now, which knocks $50 off the usual price, and makes mobile gaming feel a whole lot less like… well, mobile gaming.
This controller snaps onto your Android phone, iPhone 15/16, or even an iPad Mini, and suddenly your touch screen becomes something you don't have to smudge your way through. The hall effect triggers, tactile buttons, and pro-style thumbsticks feel way closer to an Xbox or PS5 controller than you'd expect from something this compact.
Comfort gets bonus points here, too. This controller's got an ergonomic grip that actually fits adult hands (finally), and Chroma RGB lighting for those of us who like our gaming accessories with a little flair. Whether you're streaming Game Pass, PS Remote Play, or just tearing through native mobile games, this thing holds up like a champ.
And no, it's not a Bluetooth controller; it uses USB-C or Lightning, depending on the device, which means no lag and no battery pairing drama. You plug in, play, and forget it's even running off your phone.
At $99.99, the Razer Kishi Ultra turns casual mobile gaming into something you'll actually want to keep doing, whether you're couch-locked or killing time in line.

Has the Pixel battery drama ruined your perception of Google's phones?
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. The Google Pixel series is regarded by many as the pinnacle of the Android experience, offering excellent imaging smarts and plenty of AI features under the hood. But one area that apparently still needs plenty of work is the power storage stakes. Batteries have not been kind to Pixel A-series users. The Pixel 4a, Pixel 7a, and more recently, the Pixel 6a, have all run into power issues. From dodgy updates and physical swelling, to Google issuing an actual nerf to battery capacity to quell overheating (and combustion) issues for the latter, are all things various users have faced. This problematic spell doesn't inspire confidence. For the most part, Google's flagships have been devoid of impactful battery issues, and it seems that the Pixel 8a and Pixel 9a are going strong. In fact, we gave the latter a 10/10 score during our review, praising its battery life even it it's at the cost of slow charging. However, as my colleague Rob Triggs puts it, Google risks facing a crisis of trust. Here are some other questions: Are you less likely to purchase a Google Pixel in the future given the recent spate of battery issues? Do you think Google's battery problems been overblown or underplayed? Is it a case of recency bias, or are you genuinely concerned? In light of these issues, should Google just commit to a keen focus on its battery technology? Perhaps a leap to silicon-carbon? Is battery life a chief concern of yours when purchasing a phone? If not, where does it rank? Be sure to vote in the poll below, too! Are battery concerns putting you off the Pixel? 1447 votes Yes, I'm concerned. 44 % No, Pixels are still fine. 46 % I'm undecided. 10 % 👇Sound off in the comments: What do you think of Google's recent battery dramas?

I tested Meta Voice vs Gemini Live using 5 prompts — here's who won
Voice assistants are having a moment. Meta recently rolled out its new voice-powered Meta AI in a standalone app, while Google's Gemini Live now lets you have full back-and-forth conversations with the chatbot via Android or iOS. Both are designed to be natural, helpful and available in real time. But how do they actually stack up? To find out, I ran both Meta AI and Gemini Live through the same five real-life prompts right on my iPhone. No typing, just me talking to the bots the way I talk to a friend when I'm hungry, frazzled or in desperate need of entertainment for my kids. I judged them on speed, usefulness, follow-up ability and personality. Here's how each one performed. Prompt: 'I have chicken and spinach — what should I make for dinner?' Meta offered me a variety of options immediately, each of varying difficulty. The bot then asked me what I was in the mood for. From there, I said the pasta sounded good and it gave me the Live started with one idea only. Rather than giving me a variety of options to choose from, it asked me if I had any pasta on hand. When I said yes, but asked for something else, it offered a few Meta wins for coming up with the most ideas from the start rather than making me ask for more. Prompt: 'What's a fun and inexpensive way to celebrate the end of the school year?' Meta suggested a potluck picnic but also included a few other different activities to help me decide on the best Live also suggested a potluck and suggested 'everyone bring a dish,' which is basically the definition of a potluck. It did not elaborate on any other Meta wins for once again offering more ideas upfront rather than stopping at the first suggestion. Prompt: 'Can you give me a list of summer reading books? I'm a fan of Emily Henry.' Meta struggled with this and kept interrupting me. It kept saying 'Happy to help!' as I was talking. It suggested all of Emily Henry's books, which, as a fan of hers, I've already read. Finally, after a bit of prompting and a ton of pauses, I got a few suggestions. Gemini Live was equally bad. I told the bot I have read everything by the author Emily Henry and it immediately suggested one of her books. When prompted again, it suggested a few books by authors with a similar Meta wins by a hair. While both bots did not answer my prompt immediately, Meta at least came up with several better suggestions by the end of the conversation. Prompt: 'Can you tell me the top 5 news stories happening right now?' Meta immediately mentioned the breaking news story at the bottom of my computer screen and went into detail about it and other important news of the Live gave a brief overview of the news but didn't even mention the breaking news. It also did not dive as deep into the current news happening at the Meta wins for a more thorough and accurate dive into breaking news. Prompt: 'Tell me a joke that's appropriate for work.' Meta absolutely fell flat here. Nothing it said was funny or even a joke. One was just Live was basically an office comedian ready to give me joke after joke. They were corny, sure, but funny enough for an office Gemini Live wins for better humor and understanding the assignment. In the end, Meta Voice edged out Gemini Live, winning four out of five categories with stronger suggestions, faster follow-up and better real-time awareness. While Gemini delivered in the humor department (and still holds promise as a polished assistant backed by Google's ecosystem), it often required more prompting to get where I needed it to go. If you're looking for a voice assistant that jumps in with useful ideas without making you work for them, Meta is currently the better companion — even if its jokes could use a little work. While neither chatbot has much of a personality, they are both smart and responsive. Meta AI might be too responsive. Even if you close the app, the bot continues to talk, ready for another prompt.

Can AI finally fix online shopping? A hands-on test of GlanceAI and Google Try-On
Can AI finally fix online shopping? A hands-on test of GlanceAI and Google Try-On Show Caption Hide Caption Woman's AI fridge rant goes viral, claims isn't intelligent after all A woman claims her Samsung refrigerator with AI technology isn't so intelligent after all. Shopping used to be simple. You walked into a store, tried on jeans, and decided in 30 seconds if they made your butt look weird. Today? Most of us shop online for everything — including clothes — and it often goes hilariously, tragically wrong. According to Capital One Shopping Research, nearly 124 million Americans — one in every three of us — will buy clothes online this year. And we'll send back one out of every four of those items. That adds up to billions in lost revenue for retailers, and a pile of packaging waste, shipping costs and frustration for the rest of us. Flat product photos, inconsistent sizing charts, and confusing return rules are just part of the problem. Overall, online clothes shopping is still an expensive guessing game. The age-old problem of 'What am I going to wear today?' A new breed of AI-powered fashion tools is stepping in — not just to reduce returns, but to rewire how we discover and buy clothes in the first place. I tested two of the biggest options: GlanceAI, a free virtual styling app for iOS and Android, and Google's new Try-On tool, which uses generative AI to show how clothes look on your actual body. I bought clothes I genuinely like, using both of them. But are these next-gen tech tools perfect? Not yet. Here's what works, what doesn't and what you need to know. Your selfie, styled The way GlanceAI works is really simple. Upload a full-body selfie, and in seconds, GlanceAI shows photorealistic images of you wearing outfits curated to your body type, skin tone and even local weather. If you like what you see, tap to shop similar products from retailers like Macy's, Nordstrom and Zara. The goal here is to turn your phone's camera into your personal stylist. Not a size-zero mannequin. Not a filter-heavy avatar. You. 'We're not trying to turn you into someone else,' GlanceAI CEO Naveen Tewari told me over a video call. 'We're trying to help you discover the best version of you.' I tested it with a full-body selfie and got styled in outfits that genuinely looked like something I'd wear — from TV appearances and Zoom calls to farm chores and school drop-off. After some thumbs-up, thumbs-down tweaks, the images were surprisingly spot-on. No weird proportions. No six-fingered claw-hands. Tewari added, 'It's not just 'what shirt fits me?' It's 'what outfit makes sense for me right now, in my city, with my vibe?'" According to the company, in less than a month since its launch, the app has created more than 40 million personalized outfit images for over 1.5 million users in the U.S. alone, with 40% of them shopping in the app on a weekly basis. GlanceAI earns money through affiliate sales. Consumer-friendly technology: How McAfee's Scam Detector can help you spot fraudulent texts Where GlanceAI promises to improve GlanceAI still feels like a beta app, essentially because it is. I gave Tewari a laundry list of tweaks and features that I want to see, and he told me they're all on the way. The main 'cover' outfits — the ones in categories like 'Dopamine Dressing' or 'Bold Blazers' — don't exist. You tap on that killer floral jacket, but instead, you get redirected to 'similar' items you're not that into. That's a bummer. Even when I found something I liked, I wanted to see myself in that exact item, not an approximation. Tewari says both direct item previews and better filtering are in the works. Right now, there's no way to search by style, brand or size. Another issue? Some of the clothes just look… dated. I kept thinking, 'Wait, I had that exact Rugby shirt in 1996.' It's not just about matching an outfit to your body type — fashion needs to feel fresh. According to Tewari, better product feeds and more brand partnerships are on the way to address that issue as well. And inclusivity is still lagging. The app doesn't yet work well for plus-size, non-binary or adaptive body types. That's not a minor bug — it's a must-fix. That said, GlanceAI is more than a gimmick. It's fun to share with friends, and if they deliver the updates as promised, it will change the way we shop for clothes for good. My suggestion? Try it, train it, and know this is how you're going to be doing most of your shopping in a year or two from now. A year ago, I barely used ChatGPT. Now I use it every day. So do 100 million other people. I could be writing the same thing about GlanceAI in a year from now. Google Try-On: AI, but make it searchable Google's latest entry into AI shopping lets you upload a full-length selfie and see how real clothes look on you. Not a stock model. Not an AI composite. The feature lives inside Google Search Labs and is available for select brands like Levi's, Abercrombie, Quince and Pistola Denim. The realism is impressive. AI-generated images demonstrate how a shirt drapes on your shoulders and how pants fit your hips. How it works: You search for an item — say, 'white linen blazer under $100' — then tap 'Try It On.' Upload a selfie, and Google overlays the item onto your image using generative AI. No extra app required. Google's tools are powered by its massive Shopping Graph, which tracks more than 50 billion products and updates listings in real time. And Google says your photos stay on your device unless you opt to save or share them. Where Google struggles Here's the downside: Good luck figuring out which products actually let you try them on. There are no clear labels, no filters, no indicators — you just tap and hope. It's hit-or-miss, and that makes it frustrating. I used it to buy a pair of Mother Jeans via Free People. The 'Try It On' icon just happened to be there when I went looking for this specific pair of pants. It was luck, not tech skill, that put us together. It feels more like a promising tech demo than a reliable everyday feature. GlanceAI vs. Google AI: What's the difference? GlanceAI isn't perfect. Neither is Google. But they're both big steps forward in making online shopping is more fun and styled. Google is more powerful and precise. Both are worth a try if you're tired of return labels and surprise crop tops. They're different tools solving different parts of the same problem. Ideally, they'll converge. Bonus tools to try These two aren't alone. A few other tools in my smart shopping stack: Beni: A browser extension that finds secondhand versions of what you're shopping for. That $180 blazer might be $60 on Poshmark. Croissant: See your item's resale value before you buy it. A $250 bag? Croissant might tell you it'll resell for $100.
