This week, Oakley and Meta finally revealed their smart glasses (and look a little incredible), we publish our Nintendo Switch 2 review (it’s great, but not perfect), and Donald Trump launched a mobile phone (yes, really, and it’s more strange than it seems).
To catch up with all this and more, we have this rapid summary of the seven largest technological news of the week, as well as the links to the complete history so that it can immerse themselves in the subject more deeply.
Once you’re finished, be sure to watch our selections for the seven new films and television programs to broadcast this weekend (June 20).
7. Garmin launched more than a clock
The last of Garmin in a true bombardment of new releases, the Garmin Index Sleep Monitor, is more than a clock for once, designed to be used at the top of the arm, is a dedicated sleep tracker. With a battery life of up to a week and a more precise signal than wrist -based trackers, the idea seems to be to change their Garmin watch for the sleep tracker during the night, since many people find that thick watches are uncomfortable to use the bed.
We know that this would come for a while, and we are excited to face him, and it is the latest in the trend of welfare tracking without a screen. Polar is also entering the act with a Whoop alternative without subscription without subscription, although that will not be launched until September. If you are tired of the idea of another intermittent screen in your life, you can check the discreet guide of fitness trackers this week here.
6. Xreal threw new smart glasses
The new ONE prop intelligent glasses are easily the best we have seen, in large part due to its new optical configuration, which offers a larger image and a clearer image (due to reduced reflections) than any of its competition.
This feels like a true precursor to Android XR specifications in which it is working, and if Project Aura can boast these characteristics and more, Xreal could be in a murderous machine.
The only inconvenience of the impressive nature of Xreal One Pro is, as expected, its price. Currently, a pair costs $ 649 / £ 579, and if it takes into account the ‘optional’ accessories such as Xreal Beam Pro (at $ 199 / £ 189), you can begin to add. Although as an entertainment partner and laptop, Xreal’s glasses do not disappoint you if he decides to pick them up.
5. Trump tried to make the phones big again … we are not convinced
Trump Mobile set his mobile service at $ 45.47 per month, a wink not too subtle to the two Trump terms as president of the United States. However, beyond that, the service, and especially the new Gold T1 phone, do not offer too many direct references to the acting president.
We focus on the scratch device of the head, which offers a mixture of older and more new technologies (some are excited by the 3.5 mm headphones connector) and makes a difficult statement to judge that it will be made in the US.
The Android 1599 telephone will arrive in September, just in time for the next iPhone. We cannot wait to see that confrontation.
4. The new AI of Apple Music’s DJ impressed many
In Apple’s recent WWDC event, the company presented its new and exciting automix function for Apple Music. Unlike the crossfade function, which simply crosses from one song to another to avoid spaces of silence, Automix creates a perfect reproduction experience using the pace coincidence and time stretching to connect each song in a tail.
Although we have a few months until Automix unfolds with the widest launch of iOS 26, it is currently in Beta developers, and those with early access are already revealing their online abilities, marking one of Apple Music’s first viral trends.
It is a great step to improve the sense of Apple Music community, even if you are still behind Spotify on the Social Front. But from what we are seeing until now, Automix is a new fun and attractive feature that will win many users, and as a Spotify fan, I hope you are taking some notes.
3. We spent a week with Alexa+
Months have spent since Amazon presented Alexa+, his reinvention infused with his popular voice assistant, but we have since waiting for a complete public launch and the opportunity to test the platform, until now.
We spend a week with Alexa+ Early Access and we discovered that although it is not completely baked (already with errors), the new platform shows a great promise.
It is the first LLM that seems intelligent at home, and that means that it can help you configure, adjust and improve your smart home, provided that all devices work with Alexa and can be discovered by the new Alexa+.
He is also demonstrating to be a great conversationalist, and it is very likely that his relationship with Alexa+ is very different from the one he had with the OG Alexa friendly and with knowledge of time.
Meta has expanded its Smart Glasses association with Essiloruxotica by presenting a pair of Smart Oakley glasses based on the brand’s HSTN design.
This writer thinks it is beautiful, but the chat of our office is less than appreciation for the distinctive aspect. Apart from aesthetics, glasses are full of hardware and software updates.
We are talking about the double the battery life of the finish lines (now there are eight hours instead of four), improved cameras (3K quality video capture) and improved assistance, which includes things such as asking about surf conditions and golf technique.
They will be launched at the end of this summer, from $ 399 / £ 399, but a pair of limited edition will increase to preorder before July 11, for $ 499 / £ 499.
1. We review the Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, and we have thoroughly tested the new console for review in the last two weeks. In summary, it is a phenomenal update on the original switch system. While certainly lacks that Hallmark Nintendo Innovation, what we have here is a powerful hybrid hand game device.
Now we have a crisp screen of 1080p, capable of updating rates up to 120Hz. In addition, the hand computer also has an HDR and variable update rate technology for softer performance while it is underway. However, players who prefer the royal mode are not out of the cold, since those who play on a television or monitor can benefit from the 4K and 1440p resolution configuration.
While the battery life definitely leaves much to be desired, Switch 2 is, however, a consummated portable games console, and we cannot wait to see what types of Nintendo games have reserved in the coming years.
