Gallery: All the Awesome Stuff We Loved This Week
01Moto X
Remember last Monday? It seems so dull and lifeless. That’s because it was before our worlds were forever changed by these tremendous new gadgets. Moto X ------ Behold the long-awaited telephonic [love child of Google and Motorola Mobility](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/08/inside-story-of-moto-x/). The 4.7-inch-screened [Moto X’s core specs](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/08/how-the-moto-x-stacks-up/) may seem a bit pedestrian, but other factors make it one of the most interesting Android phones of all time: always-on voice control of Google Now, a [battery-conserving display](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/08/moto-x-gallery/), a gesture-activated camera, and customizable designs. *Photo: Tim Moynihan/WIRED*
02Panasonic Lumix GX7
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 ----------------------- That rich, textured handgrip. That classy magnesium-alloy body peeking over the top. Those easy-access manual controls. That adjustable eye-level viewfinder and three-inch tiltable touchscreen. Those fast-focusing tricks. That 1080p capture at 60fps and 24fps. Daaaamn, [Panasonic Lumix GX7](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/08/panasonic-lumix-gx7/), you’re looking good. No wonder you charge a grand for that body. *Photo: Courtesy Panasonic.*
03Eddie Bauer Katabatic 2 Tent With Goal Zero Solar Panel
Eddie Bauer Katabatic 2 Tent With Goal Zero Solar Panel ------------------------------------------------------- The [Katabatic 2 tent](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/07/solar-tent/) measures 36 square feet and can sleep three people, and that means you could charge $7,000 a month to live in it if you set it up in the West Village. That’s the second-coolest thing about this tent. The coolest thing is that it’s wired for electricity. It’s built to work with Goal Zero’s tent-mountable solar panel, which pumps energy through the tent’s wired-up skeleton to charge a battery pack or generator. That’s pretty in-tents. *Photo: Courtesy Goal Zero*
04Nokia Lumia 1020
Nokia Lumia 1020 ---------------- There are a few reasons to shy away from Windows Phone 8; a lack of apps and a paucity of handset options are among them. But the [Nokia Lumia 1020](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/reviews/2013/07/nokia-lumia-1020/) makes sure that “not having an amazing camera” isn’t on that list of shortcomings. Its lens is optically stabilized, its 41-megapixel sensor makes digital zoom usable, it boasts manual exposure controls, and it takes great photos--all of which make the relative scarcity of photo apps on the Windows Phone platform much less of an issue. *Photo: Jim Merithew/WIRED*
05Cocoon Slim Backpack
Cocoon Slim Backpack -------------------- Until the Great Convergence is complete, you will still need to carry around a bunch of gadgets. It’s a pain to carry around a bag for your camera, a separate bag for your laptop, an attache case for your portable synthesizer, and a hobo bindle for all your chargers. If you throw all that stuff in one steamer chest, they’ll knock around and scratch each other. That’s why the [Cocoon Slim Backpack](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/07/cocoon-slim-backpack-locks-all-your-gadgets-in-place/) is here to save us all, because it straps everything down securely in its own little nest. *Photo: Courtesy Cocoon*
06LG Optimus G Pro
LG Optimus G Pro ---------------- There’s a portmanteau we’re going to refrain from using here, but the [LG Optimus G Pro](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/reviews/2013/07/lg-optimus-g-pro/) falls somewhere between a phone and a tablet. Despite having an ample 5.5-inch 1080p screen, the Optimus G Pro gets great battery life. It only costs $100 on contract, which is a great deal for this reason: If you are an average-sized [African Pygmy mouse](http://www.jaysanimalencounters.co.uk/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/Pygmymouse.jpg), the Optimus G Pro’s screen is the equivalent of a 246-inch HDTV for a human being.\* Cheapest 246-incher ever. \*Based on an average height of 5 feet, 7 inches (67 inches) for an American adult and an average length of 1.5 inches for an African Pygmy mouse. *Photo: Alex Washburn/WIRED*
