Engadget review roundup: Pixel 10 Pro Fold and other notable new devices
Techtober delivered a flood of new gadgets, and Engadget’s reviews team has been busy testing them all. The latest roundup covers Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds 2a, the Meta Ray-Ban Display, ASUS’s ROG Xbox Ally X, Bose’s QuietComfort Headphones (2nd gen), and the Razer Blade 18 (2025).
The headline: Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold addresses a long-standing issue for foldables by adding real dust and water resistance, a major step forward for durability. Reviewers praise the improvement, but the $1,799 price remains a significant barrier for many buyers.
- Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold — Now with proper dust & water resistance, making foldables more practical. Price: $1,799.
- Pixel Watch 4 & Pixel Buds 2a — Solid companion devices that round out Google’s ecosystem offerings.
- Meta Ray-Ban Display — An intriguing head-up display experience with compelling use cases, but its chunky first-gen feel, limited features, $800 price and scarce availability hold it back.
- ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X — A strong Xbox-focused handheld that delivers a seamless full-screen Xbox experience and familiar controls.
- Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd gen) — Improved ANC, sound and battery place these back near the top of noise-cancelling headphone lists.
- Razer Blade 18 (2025) — Excellent performance for desktop-class gaming, but large size and short battery life (~2h 17m in PCMark 10) reduce portability.
