Review

The 2025 Tile Mate refresh finally supports Google’s Find My Device network, so I can locate my keys anywhere Android users roam, not just within Bluetooth range. Pairing through Tile’s app gives me two-way finding, separation alerts, and a loud 91 dB chime; the new adhesives make it easy to stick a Tile on remotes or AirPods cases. Battery life still runs about a year on a CR1632 coin cell and the case snaps open for easy replacement. Apple-only households will prefer AirTags, but for cross-platform families and Android users, the Tile Mate remains the go-to key finder.

✓ Pros

  • ✓Works with Tile’s network and Google Find My Device
  • ✓User-replaceable CR1632 battery
  • ✓Loud ringer and in-app separation alerts

✗ Cons

  • ✗No ultra wideband precision finding
  • ✗Having to replace the coin cell yearly

Laminated 3.5-inch IPS retro handheld with an Allwinner H700, 1GB RAM, dual-band WiFi/Bluetooth, and a preloaded 64GB card so GarlicOS pick-up-and-play emulation feels instant at home or on the go.

GarlicOS 1.5, laminated IPS, and dual-band WiFi turn this $70 handheld into my go-to couch emulation kit despite the short-ish battery. Read full review.

Laser-lit 1080p mini projector that throws a crisp 120-inch image at 300 ANSI lumens, runs full Google TV with licensed Netflix, and packs a 2.5-hour battery with USB-C PD for travel movie nights and impromptu client demos.

Laser-sharp 1080p focus, native Google TV with Netflix, and USB-C PD power keep this two-pound projector ready for travel demos - just dim the room for best punch. Read full review.

Pocket-sized Soundcore Bluetooth speaker with IPX5 water resistance, 24-hour playtime, and dual drivers that stay clear at desk volume or tossed in a backpack for quick trips.

Week-long 24-hour battery, IPX5 shell, and reliable Bluetooth keep this my grab-and-go speaker - just accept the micro-USB port and modest bass. Read full review.
