Undoubtedly, the big gadget news this week has been the official launch announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2. Not only did we get a better look at elements of its design, such as that 7.9-inch 4K OLED screen, its magnetic Joy-Con controllers and the added mouse functionality, but we finally got a release date: June 5.

If that still feels like an excruciatingly long time to wait for your next big tech purchase, we're on hand here at Future Labs to help point you toward the most exciting tech we've been testing over the last week. From the most promising smart glasses we've ever tried to Samsung's new AI-powered vacuum cleaner, we've rounded up all of the week's most exciting reviews for your delectation.

"The sound and image quality the RayNeo Air 3S can produce at a price of only $269 is something that has to be seen to be believed. These are easily the best budget smart glasses I’ve tested."

"The tech-packed Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra delivered excellent suction, although the promised AI-powered cleaning adjustments were hit and miss. The auto-empty dock is ultra-convenient, and the swappable batteries deliver a ridiculously long maximum runtime. Overall, a very capable vacuum, but not quite perfect – as I'd expect for the exorbitant price tag."

"The Blink Video Doorbell and Sync Module 2's key benefit is that it's battery-operated, meaning you don’t have to remove it for recharging every couple of months. However, the downside is you will need to buy new lithium AA batteries which aren’t cheap."

"The Potensic Atom 2 delivers solid performance across the board. Image quality is good overall, and the subject-tracking features are effective despite this not being a selfie drone. There are a few quirks that can hopefully be ironed out with firmware updates, but overall the Atom 2 is one of the best DJI alternatives available."
