Engadget rounds up latest reviews: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Dell XPS 13 and more

Engadget has compiled a recap of recent reviews from its writers, covering both mobile devices and audio equipment.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

Senior reviewer Sam Rutherford notes that Samsung built two new flagship foldables this generation, but the pricier Ultra model doesn't quite live up to its name. He explains that the ideal device would have combined the new Z Fold 8's design with the Ultra model's increased performance, adding that his criticism isn't about the phone itself, but about what it could have been.

Dell XPS 13 (2026)

Devindra Hardawar writes that Dell moved quickly to respond after Apple unveiled the MacBook Neo earlier this year, but the new XPS 13's base configuration doesn't offer enough performance. He advises against committing to the 8GB model, while the 16GB version should serve buyers well.

Samsung QS90H soundbar

Billy Steele points out that many soundbar makers claim to offer all-in-one systems without needing a separate subwoofer, though few deliver on that promise. Samsung's QS90H does, thanks to internal woofers that handle low-end tones well across various content types. The soundbar is pricey, but also includes Samsung's Convertible Fit technology for added versatility.

Insta360 X6

James Trew reports that after a summer focused on DJI's gimbal cameras, Insta360 has released its newest 360-degree action camera, the X6. He describes it as a solid upgrade, particularly for users coming from the X4 or older models.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition

Devindra Hardawar notes that Lenovo is typically associated with its ThinkPad lineup, but the Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition challenges that perception. He says it shows how far Lenovo has come over the past decade, though its price puts it out of reach for many who simply want a light, stylish laptop.
