Weve slept off our collective turkey coma and returned to the review lab here at Engadget. Our team may also be in full CES prep mode, but weve got a few more devices to get off or our desks before 2025 is over. Catch up on all of the reviews you might have missed over the last few weeks a perfect activity for a lazy December weekend.
Dell 16 Premium
Theres no denying the design of the Dell 16 Premium makes the laptop live up to its name. Unfortunately, all of that polish leads to some issues: a high price and hampered usability. The more I looked at the Dell 16 Premium's beautiful facade, the more I wanted something... more, senior reporter Devindra Hardawar wrote. It needs more usable ports, like HDMI and a full-sized SD card reader. It needs more useful function keys that are visible in bright light and also stay in one place so I can touch type more easily. And for the love of god, just give up on the invisible trackpad.
DJI Osmo Action 6
DJIs drone business in the US faces an uncertain future, and the companys action cams could be swept up in the ordeal as well. Thankfully, our contributing reporter Steve Dent resides in the EU where he observed first hand the Osmo Action 6s superior low light performance and battery life. With a bigger sensor and larger aperture than the competition, DJIs Action 6 is now the best action cam on the market for night shooting, delivering clean, sharp video with better stabilization than rivals, he said. Its also ideal for users who output to both YouTube and TikTok.
Nikon ZR
In keeping with the video theme, Steve also spent time testing the Nikon ZR. While this is primarily a model for shooting video, it benefits from the addition of RED RAW, excellent autofocus and more. With the ZR, Nikon has shown that its finally catching up to and even surpassing its rivals for content creation, he explained. Whether youre doing social media, YouTube, documentaries or even film production, this camera is versatile and powerful with few compromises.
Ooni Volt 2
The Ooni Volt brought the companys popular brand of pizza making indoors for the first time, but that model wasnt without it faults. Now Ooni is back with the Volt 2, and the completely overhauled design is a big upgrade over the original. Its easier to use for all skill levels thanks to its clearer controls and large display, I explained. Presets work well, but they can also serve as a starting point for further recipe refinement for experienced users. And the pizza my goodness, the pizza is consistently restaurant quality (or better) across a range of styles.
Antigravity A1
Insta360s spin-off Antigravity is now shipping its first drone and our UK bureau chief Mat Smith has already flown it. The A1 comes with a controller and FPV headset to assist with the piloting, but the mix of unique features and crisp video (in good conditions) is also laudable. The intuitive controls and ability to look all around you make it unlike anything else currently available, he said. Its a delightful introduction to drones, FPV or otherwise, but a shame that software issues marred my tests.
Other recent reviews
On the gaming front, Mat spent some time with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles while deputy editor Nathan Ingraham put Metroid Prime 4 through its paces. Contributor Tim Stevens stepped back in time with the Analogue 3D to revisit some Nintendo 64 classics after getting behind the wheel of the 2025 Porsche Macan Electric.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/engadget-review-recap-dell-16-premium-nikon-zr-ooni-volt-2-and-more-130000527.html?src=rss
