Popular consumer tech products we test
TVs: TVs are major tech purchases, so we carefully evaluate and vet every television we recommend. We test models for all budgets, from entry-level TVs to OLED TVs, across all the major brands, including Sony, LG, Samsung, Vizio, and more. We also recommend the best TVs by size, whether it’s the popular 65-inch model, an 85-inch big screen for home theaters, or a smaller 55-inch for apartments.
Smartphones: Our reporters review and test smartphones across all price points and brands, including Apple’s iPhone, Samsung’s Galaxy lineup, Google’s Pixel phones, and more. We also review top mobile accessories and phone cases from Otterbox, Incipio, Speck, and other popular brands.

How Insider Reviews test tech products
In addition to a series of tests, we analyze tech products by using them daily in the real world. We run through a device’s battery cycle and use benchmark software like Geekbench to determine what kind of performance users can expect out of a device in the short term and long term. We validate a manufacturer’s claim if it seems too good to be true, and we check for durability when it’s warranted. After we test every tech product, we consider its overall value and compare it to competitors to ensure that every recommendation is accurate, fair, and worth your money. Our experts have also created a collection of how-to tech reference articles to help users get the most out of their products.
