I’m Jorge Jimenez, the Lead Editor of Consumer Tech at Gizmodo. I joined in 2023 after four years on the hardware team at PC Gamer and three years testing gear in the labs at Tom's Guide. My role involves overseeing the Consumer Tech team, ensuring we cover the biggest products on the market, while also showcasing some of the quirkier gadgets found online. When I'm off the clock, you'll find me enthusiastically supporting (and sometimes lamenting) the New York Mets on social media, playing more videogames than I should, and grilling for my very demanding toddler.","url":"https://gizmodo.com/author/jorgegizmodo"}]}</script>  <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//cdn.consentframework.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch'

We considered design, value, and innovation, and the winners here made the final cut because they offer something their competitors don’t that truly sets them apart.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Explore the winners by category:</p> <div id="ez-toc-container" class="comp-boxed ez-toc-v2_0_21 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-grey"> <div class="ez-toc-title-container"> <p class="ez-toc-title">Table of Contents</p> <span class="ez-toc-title-toggle"><a class="ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle"><i class="fa fa-chevron-up"></i></a></span></div> <nav><ul class="ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1"><li class="ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2"><a class="ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1" href="#phones-and-tablets" title="Phones and Tablets">Phones and Tablets</a></li><li class="ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2"><a class="ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2" href="#computers" title="Computers">Computers</a></li><li class="ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2"><a class="ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3" href="#gaming-and-tv" title="Gaming and TV">Gaming and TV</a></li><li class="ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2"><a class="ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4" href="#audio" title="Audio">Audio</a></li><li class="ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2"><a class="ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5" href="#accessories" title="Accessories">Accessories</a></li></ul></nav></div> <div class="not-prose video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="about:blank" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-rocket-lazyload="fitvidscompatible" data-lazy-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O7_tRq_-Eok?si=JBMBDyiw_pbNV7YM"></iframe><noscript><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O7_tRq_-Eok?si=JBMBDyiw_pbNV7YM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></noscript></div> <p>Reporting by Kyle Barr, Florence Ion, Dua Rashid, and Sherri L.

The problem is finding one that fits your device. What we love most about the Razer Kishi Ultra is that it can accommodate phones and tablets up to 8 inches. Little touches like the built-in 3.5mm audio jack or USB-C passthrough make Kishi Ultra feel like you’re playing a bonafide console controller. If you just want an extra PC controller, you can use it for that, too. </p> </div> <p class="mt-2 sm:mt-4"> <a href="https://gizmodo.com/razer-kishi-ultra-review-tablets-smartphones-gaming-1851417852" class="text-main dark:text-main-400 hover:text-main-800 dark:hover:text-main-500 uppercase text-lg">Read more »</a> </p> <div class="flex flex-col sm:flex-row border-t border-main-400 mt-3 sm:mt-6 pt-3 sm:pt-6 gap-3 sm:gap-6 uppercase tracking-wide font-medium"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Gaming-Controller-Android-iPhone-Smartphone/dp/B0CXGMPLWK?tag=gizmodo08c-20" class="w-full text-center p-2 sm:p-4 bg-main-400 hover:bg-main-500 text-white font-body">Buy Now at Amazon</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="not-prose border border-main-400 font-body my-4"> <picture class=""> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy.jpg" class="aspect-photo object-cover w-full h-full" alt="Gizmodo Best of 2024 Vr" srcset="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy.jpg 1500w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy-336x224.jpg 336w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy-1400x932.jpg 1400w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy-680x453.jpg 680w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Gizmodo_Bestof2025_VR-copy-896x597.jpg 896w" sizes="(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 680px" /> </picture> <div class="p-3 sm:p-6"> <p class="mb-2 text-main-400 text-2xl sm:text-3xl font-bold tracking-wide">Meta Quest 3S</p> <div class="product-box-content text-lg sm:text-xl font-serif"> <p>The biggest obstacle to VR gaming has always been cost, but the Meta Quest 3S may finally be the headset to change that.
