What you need to know Samsung has released a new WalkieTalkie app for its latest Galaxy smartwatches. The app allows you to use your Galaxy Watch as a Walkie Talkie to have instant conversations. Samsung's WalkieTalkie app isn't compatible with older Galaxy smartwatches.

The Oculus Quest 2 is great, but these accessories make it even better

The Oculus Quest 2 is an amazing, affordable introduction to VR, but it isn't without its flaws. Its face cover causes skin irritation, and it doesn't ship with the official Carrying Case. Its unsupportive cloth strap makes the headset top-heavy, the battery is short-lived...there's plenty to improve! Thankfully, the best Oculus Quest 2 accessories actually solve (or at least alleviate) many of these issues. To make your virtual experience better, we've chosen the top Oculus or third-party option in every category, from face covers to batteries, Link cables to VR-ready PCs.

XGIMI Elfin LED projector review: This tiny projector gets a lot right

XGIMI once again delivers a projector that hits well above its weight. XGIMI carved out a name for itself in the projector segment with its Halo and Mogo portable projectors , and more recently it has ventured into the high-end 4K projector category with the Horizon Pro .

The Elfin isn't a traditional portable projector in that it misses out on a built-in battery, but the lightweight design makes it easy to carry around, and auto keystone correction means you can set it up in a matter of moments.
