Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, OnePlus Ace 6T, Moto Edge 70 Pantone + Swarovski, BMW iX3 first impressions, and more with Matteo Doni of Tech Travel Geeks

December 7, 2025·1 hr 19 min·5 clips

Myriam Joir brings Matteo Doni back for a fast-moving tech conversation. They open on Samsung's Galaxy Z Trifold and treat it as another sign that Samsung still likes pushing form factors forward, even if tri-folds are not exactly new. The chat stays loose and conversational. From there they move into OnePlus, including pricing pressure around a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phone with liquid cooling and a fan, and the question of whether value can still beat pure spec chasing. They also talk about the Nord series and the fact that it does not exist in North America, which leads into which OnePlus line actually makes sense if performance is the main reason to buy. Then the chips take over. Myriam and Matteo dig into Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 versus Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, using benchmark results as a starting point for a bigger argument about whether Qualcomm has binned the chip or just tuned it differently for a different buyer. Nobody treats the numbers as the whole story. They compare the situation to choosing between a sporty trim and a more comfortable version of a car, which keeps the hardware talk easy to follow without flattening the details. The pace keeps moving. They question what kind of user actually needs the absolute top spec, and whether a slightly less aggressive flagship can be the smarter purchase. The episode then shifts gears. Myriam brings up her first impressions from sitting in the BMW iX3, and the discussion widens from phones to EVs without losing the same practical tone. That detour fits the show well. Across the conversation, the focus stays on what these products would mean in real life, not just how they look on a slide deck. The talk keeps adding context. It moves from rumor-energy gadget chatter into concrete buying questions, which gives it momentum even when the details are still fuzzy. The result feels current. It is the kind of episode that works best when you want informed people thinking out loud about devices, categories, and the pressure to justify price. By the end, you have a clear sense of which launches feel interesting, which ones feel like marketing math, and which ones might actually matter in daily use.

As heard by us

A brisk hardware roundtable that turns benchmark chatter into practical buying questions.

Samsung's TriFold tease, the OnePlus price and performance debate, and the first sit down in the BMW iX3 give the episode a clear line. It stays close to what these products mean for actual buyers, and Myriam and Matteo keep that grounded.
