Modular phone promises total privacy at the flick of a switch

Most modular phones are all about the swappable hardware or their repairability. But Brax's upcoming model takes a slightly different approach: it's going for maximum privacy.

This Dolby Atmos soundbar from JBL may not have up-firing speakers, but it still sounds more expansive than most models I’ve tested — here’s how I’d rate it after hours of testing
