I'm back with John Velasco, senior editor at Tom's guide. Uh John Samsung's out with their latest and greatest, the new generation of foldables revolution evolution. What are these? I'd probably say the natural evolution. So we have starting off the galaxy Z fold six. It's their notebook style foldable phone big, you know, longer battery life, uh great cameras. But the cool thing about these new foldables is all the galaxy A I features that they have. So it uses generative A I. So you could make sketches, turn them into cartoons, drawings and you can even generate their own images by just drawing with the sketch. So this is the Z fold six next to it is the Z flip six out of the two of these. Is there one that would be more tempting than the other this time? Well, the Z fold six is more heavily for productivity if you want. If you're a content creator, love taking photos. I'd probably recommend Z flip six because of the outer screen, the outer screen here is pretty large. And when it's paired with the cameras on front, you could do better selfies instead of using that front facing camera, you have the better cameras on the outside so you could do a lot of photos. A lot of video really easy with it. How does the Z flip six compare to Motorola's Razor? That's a tough one. I compare both on Tom's Guide and you know, there's, there's great things about them. What I love about the Motorola is, of course, the stylish design. Look at that. It's the Razor 2024. That is the plus version giant outer screen. So the screen is much bigger than last year and it's longer battery life, brighter screen. They really made this a big upgrade. You have something here today that really makes me miss my old blackberry. Yes. Yes. So for anyone who wants that physical keyboard, this is the clicks keyboard. So it turns your iphone into a keyboard phone. So um pretty tactile buttons you can see right here. Um So if you want that physical response, you attach it into the case, you have your numbers, everything you can just type and yeah, it gives you that blackberry like feeling. Uh lastly we have the one plus watch two R. You have so many smart watches out there. This is uh very lightweight, it's got a aluminum frames, really light, great battery life, John, they say up to 100 hours. Uh you know the the question is with so many entrances into the market, especially the new Samsung watch is how does one plus stack up value. You talk about what features you get in it, you have everything, getting a high end smart watch, but at a fraction of the cost and it's also looks pretty stunning. I mean, really, that's what they've, that's what they've been up to ever since one plus launch. They wanna give you flagship specs for less. Absolutely. All right, John Velasco, senior editor over Tom's Guide. John, thanks a lot. Thanks for having me.

That's right. And I'm back here with John Velasco, senior editor over at Tom's Guide. John. It's always great to have you with us. All right. Last time you were here, we we were cooking literally outside and we're doing this again this time. So Solo Stove, the fire pit company also makes the pie prime. This is a propane powered pizza oven. It gets as hot as uh 950 degrees or higher and it can cook a pizza, they say in in like 90 seconds once it's achieved that temperature and it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's great for pizzas, of course, for the summer time just quick and easy for you. All right. So John, while we're melting here from, from the heat, from the pizza oven, you've got something here that we can cool down. Yeah. So yeah, days, hot, summer days like this, this is the Shark Flex breeze fan and the cool thing about it, it's portable, built in battery different settings. Um You could see you could carry it around pretty lightweight, it comes with a stand too so you could use it inside or outside your home long battery life and there's a really cool feature. There's an extra mist option you put in the front, you could use that. Exactly. There's a hose that connect to it and has that nice mist breeze. So hot, summer day like this, no problem at all. What have you got around your neck here? So, if you need something more portable, something on the go, this is the Taurus qualify portable neck fan basically on the sides in the back. It has this chilling mechanism really makes it extremely cold almost like you have an ice pack on your neck. And on top of that, it has the fans that blow with the cool air towards you. So it's a way to keep cool. All right, John Velasco, senior editor Tom Scott. Thanks a lot, John, thanks for having me.

That's right. And I'm back here with John Velasco, senior editor over at Tom's Guide, John. It's always great to have you with us. All right. This is called the Eco Flow Glacier. And, and this is great because this is a basically a portable refrigerator, open it up and you've got, you can have two different zones inside. You can do refrigerator freezer and I'm not sure if you could hear the beeping. This is great. It has an ice maker. So it will make little ice cubes for you. I'm gonna bring that over so you can see it a little better. That's a lot of fun. And if we wanted to, we could even plug this in to what we have on the other side here. This is the uh Eco Flow Delta two. This is a portable generator. Power station, John, you've used a lot of products like this before. Yeah, power stations are great. They're handy for the home if you need to power something outdoors, whether it's uh you know your tools, your yard tools, you have all the plugins options out there for you and also has the power to use solar power So if you want to charge it via the sun, you could do that. The company says you can power your refrigerator for 7 to 14 hours with this bad boy or 58 hours for your wi fi router. That's not too shabby. All right, John Velasco, senior editor, Tom Scott. Thanks a lot, John. Thanks for having me.
