Nothing unveils Ear (3a) official launch date

Earlier this month, a leak revealed the fact that Nothing was working on the Ear (3a) TWS earbuds. Today, the company has confirmed their existence, and also revealed when they are becoming official. Rather unsurprisingly, the Nothing Ear (3a) will be unveiled at the same time as the Nothing Phone (4b), on July 7.

Commodore Callback 8020 goes on pre-order for a lower price

Commodore announced its $499 Callback 8020 flip phone a couple of weeks ago, and apparently people didn't like the price. So now the device has gone up for pre-order as promised, but it starts at $399. That's some magic trick - making the product 20% cheaper before even launching it. Part of this is explained by the fact that the $399 price includes "eco-validated" RAM and storage, which means they're "remanufactured", aka reused, aka recycled, whatever you want to call it. If you want your RAM and storage to be new, you need to pay an extra $50 and then you're up to $449. Anyway,...

Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky

Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky into a new company. The split will leave Comcast with the cable, wireless, and business services, while the new company will handle the Universal theme parks, film and TV studios, NBC, Peacock, and Sky. This move practically undoes the 2011 acquisition of NBCUniversal by Comcast. So after 15 years of consolidation, it's now time for some de-consolidation. Interestingly, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts will remain "actively involved" in leading both companies after the split. Roberts, whose father Ralph founded the company in 1963, controls...

BT and Verizon agree to combine their international enterprise operations

Verizon and BT Group have announced plans to combine their international enterprise fixed-line operations into a new joint venture. The move is expected to close in 2027, subject to regulatory approval. BT and Verizon say the new company will be "designed for a cloud-first world in the age of AI", whatever that means. It will be a 50-50 joint venture, and will serve over 3,000 multinational organizations in more than 180 countries. Verizon will pay BT an equalization amount of $625 million to guarantee even voting rights. Combining BT and Verizon’s international enterprise...

Leak suggests Xiaomi 18 will get only a minor battery upgrade

New details about Xiaomi's upcoming compact flagship, the Xiaomi 18, have surfaced ahead of its rumored launch in China this September. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi 18 will pack a 7,200mAh battery in China. Xiaomi 18 render courtesy of Digital Chat Station That’s only a modest upgrade over the 7,000mAh battery found in the Chinese version of the Xiaomi 17. The global Xiaomi 17, however, shipped with a smaller 6,330mAh battery. It is, therefore, likely that the global variant of the Xiaomi 18 could feature a smaller battery than its Chinese...

Samsung Galaxy M47 goes official with SD 6 Gen 3 and 6,000mAh battery

As expected, Samsung launched its Galaxy M47 in India today. The latest M-series member brings some familiar looks and specs to the Galaxy A27, but it also features some upgrades. The main one is the larger 6,000mAh battery, which supports up to 45W wired charging. It also features bypass charging, allowing the device to sip power directly from the charger when plugged in. This is highly useful for gamers and helps keep the device cooler. Elsewhere, the M47 is quite similar to the A27. It features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The...

Samsung starts working on One UI 9 for the Galaxy A24 4G after releasing stable One UI 8.5 update

Samsung released the Android 16-based One UI 8.5 stable update for the Galaxy A24 4G a few days ago, and now we learn it has started testing the Android 17-based One UI 9 for this smartphone. The One UI 9 build for the Galaxy A24 4G spotted on Samsung's server has firmware version A245FXXUCGZF4, but we don't know when Samsung will release the One UI 9 beta or stable update for the smartphone.

Google Wallet can now track your packages

While probably not the most obvious or sensible integration out there, it does sound like a pretty nifty one. Also, we are pretty certain that this is not the first time Google has experimented with package tracking. If memory serves right, the now-retired Google Now (or rather transformed into Google Discover feed) used to offer the very same thing. Anyway, the idea is simple – Google scans your Gmail inbox and automatically recognizes digital receipts and tracking numbers, then simply uses those to provide parcel tracking info as part of the Google Wallet interface. The UI places...

Foldable gaming mode is coming with Android 17

Frankly, we don’t see gaming-specific features come to the Android core all too often. Recently, ex-journalist and now Google employee Mishaal Rahman offered up a surprisingly detailed preview of a great new feature coming to Android 17. It is called Foldable gaming mode, and what it does is basically spawn a highly customizable virtual controller on the bottom half of your unfolded foldable device, with the actual game playing on the top half. For now, it’s just a 50/50 split, which you can’t adjust, but that could come in the future. The virtual joystick emulates controller...

Apple starts selling refurbished MacBook Neo, bringing the price down to its pre-hike level

Yesterday, Apple hiked the prices of all of its products except for iPhones, and the MacBook Neo didn't get spared - its price went up by $100 in the US. Today, Apple has started offering the MacBook Neo in its refurbished store, and the price for the entry-level model with 256GB of storage and no Touch ID is now back to $599. That used to be the price for the new laptop pre-hike, now you can get a refurbished one for the same amount. If you want the one with 512GB of storage and Touch ID, you'll have to pay $679, which is $20 less than this variant used to go for new before...

iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e now rumored to have a surprising amount of RAM

Apple is rumored to be launching the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e next spring, and today a new report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed some intriguing details about them. Let's start with the oddest bit of information Kuo has shared today: both the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e are allegedly going to ship with 9GB of RAM. That's not a typo. They will apparently be using six 1.5GB dies, compared to the iPhone 17's four 2GB dies. That's a weird configuration but hey, it's a RAM increase compared to the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e, even though it's not a big one. And in case you were wondering -...

Samsung gets sued by another patent troll trying to make a quick buck

Yet another patent troll wants to get paid by Samsung. Tau Ceti Ventures LLC has filed a lawsuit against Samsung in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that the company infringed upon ten of its patents relating to making displays brighter, preventing screen burn-in, improving battery life, and reducing manufacturing costs. Samsung allegedly used the infringing display technology in the Galaxy S25, Galaxy Z Flip7, Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Tab A9+, Galaxy Book4, and a whole range of smart TVs and monitors. Tau Ceti claims that Samsung was aware of the patents or...

Amazon US Prime Day deals: the Google Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are on sale

In a separate post, we looked at the Samsung flagship series – now let’s have a peek at Google’s top Android phones (well, the non-folding ones, anyway). Google also has a small and a large flagship in its lineup. However, unlike the Galaxy line where the two models are quite different, the two Pixel Pros are as similar as possible. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL has a 6.8” display and a 5,200mAh battery. Meanwhile, the smaller Pro has a 6.3” display and a 4,870mAh battery. Both are powered by the same Tensor G5 chipset. Google...

iPhone Ultra 2 is 'confirmed' while iPhone Air 3 could be in jeopardy

You know how sometimes a streaming service will renew a show for a second season even before the first one has aired? Apple owns a streaming service, so it definitely knows how that goes. And according to a new rumor from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the company is doing just that with its foldable smartphone line. According to the prolific leaker, Apple has already 'confirmed' the iPhone Ultra 2, though it's unclear what exactly this confirmation entails. We assume it means that work has started on the successor to the iPhone Ultra, which is expected to be unveiled in September...

iPhone 18 Pro camera upgrade 'confirmed' by another rumor

According to one of the most prolific and well-known tipsters on Weibo, the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro will get the much-rumored main camera upgrade. Actually, he says it's "confirmed". This upgrade basically means the main camera module will be physically larger on the iPhone 18 Pro than it was on its predecessor. This will result in the camera bump's thickness being increased by approximately 2mm. The iPhone 18 Pro (and the iPhone 18 Pro Max) have long been rumored to get a main camera with a variable aperture, and that alone could explain this size increase. There's also a chance...

OpenAI signs one of its largest enterprise deals with Samsung Electronics

Samsung and OpenAI have formed a partnership around semiconductor manufacturing - Samsung is one of OpenAI's AI chip suppliers. But their most recent partnership goes beyond that. Samsung signed a deal with OpenAI and is making ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex available to all of its employees.

Nothing shares Phone (4b) design teaser, hints at single rear camera

Last week, Nothing began teasing a new product on social media featuring the "(b)" branding. The teaser followed the company's confirmation that it would not launch a new CMF phone this year. Now, Nothing has seemingly confirmed that a new Phone (4b) series is on the way. In a new video teaser shared on X, Nothing India has all but confirmed the arrival of the Phone (4b) series while also offering a glimpse of its design.

Motorola Edge 70 Pro in for review

This is the Motorola Edge 70 Pro. It launched back in April, and it costs €540 with 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Depending on the location, there are a few Pantone colors to choose from: Titan, Zinfandel, Lily White, and Tea. In the box, you'll find the phone, a USB-C cable, and a hard case with MagSafe, which is a nice touch. In keeping with its moniker, the Edge 70 Pro is thin and light, measuring just over 7mm and 190 grams. It's also curved on both sides, which isn't the norm for a slab phone these days. We like the phone's feel in the hand, though it's a bit slippery,...

Weekly poll: what device do you use for gaming? A smartphone, tablet, PC or console?

The gaming market has had a rough go of it this decade – first COVID slowed down the rollout of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, then the crypto boom vacuumed up available GPUs, now AI has made RAM chips the new gold. This has led to smartphone makers rising prices, but PCs and consoles are just as affected – the PS5, the Xbox, the Steam Deck and the Nintendo Switch all got more expensive. And that’s just some of the more high-profile products. Services are feeling the pain too – Microsoft wanted to raise the price of Game Pass, but changed its mind after loud complaints from...

Weekly poll results: iOS 27 is okay, just okay

iOS 27 was met with a resounding “it’s okay” in last week’s poll. Okay, the sentiment among iPhone users actually leans towards positive, but most voters couldn’t work up enough enthusiasm for it to pick the “love it” option. To be fair, this release was focused on sanding off the rough edges of the major Liquid Glass redesign and on finally delivering on promises about AI features that Apple made a long while ago. Remember all the Apple Intelligence demos during the iPhone 16 launch? Yeah, Siri AI is launching later this year, likely alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. Even if you...

This week, you don’t need Prime to get these deals. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE stayed at MSRP for a few weeks after the launch of the Galaxy A57. Now the FE model is back where it should be – at just under $600 for the 8/256GB model.

Here's when Infinix is launching the Note 60 Pro 5G Pininfarina Limited Edition in India

Infinix's Note 60 Ultra is designed by famed Italian design house Pininfarina, and it's been available since last month. Infinix also launched the Note 60 Pro, and brought it to India in April.

Coming on June 24 at 12 PM local time on Flipkart is the Infinix Note 60 Pro 5G Pininfarina Limited Edition, in that Torino Black color we've also seen on the Note 60 Ultra.

OnePlus 15s isn't happening, tipster claims

In April of last year, OnePlus launched the 13T in China. Then, in June, it released basically the same phone in India as the OnePlus 13s. Back in March of this year, the company introduced the 15T in China, so you're probably expecting it to launch in India as the 15s very soon. OnePlus 15T However, according to a tipster over on X, that is not going to happen. The device will not be coming to India at all, for whatever reason. Furthermore, whether the upcoming OnePlus 16 will launch in India still hasn't been decided. We'd be surprised if the 16 skips India, but the 15s apparently...

Here's why Apple is already dropping support for so many watches in watchOS 27

At its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, Apple unveiled watchOS 27. This will be rolling out in the fall. Perhaps surprisingly, watchOS 27 will drop support for a lot of older Apple Watches, including the original Apple Watch Ultra, released in 2022. That device was the first Apple Watch to cost a whopping $799, so many owners may still be using it. But come September, they will only receive essential security updates, as the watch is not getting watchOS 27. Asked why, Apple Watch and Health Product Marketing Manager Cait Dooley told TechRadar: With every software...

UAE bans social media for those under 15

A few days ago the UK government announced a ban on social media for children under 16, and now the UAE is following suit by effectively banning social media for those under 15. The UAE is the first Arab country to introduce such a measure. Children under 15 are prohibited from creating, using, or operating personal social media accounts. They will not be able to post content, comment, share, or join public groups. Those aged 15 to 16 will be allowed on social media subject to age-appropriate content controls, restrictions on interaction with unknown users, screen-time management...

Smartwatch shipments grew steadily in Q1 2026 with Apple still leading the pack

According to the latest Counterpoint report, the global smart wearable market grew 4% in Q1 2026 compared to the same period last year, which follows a steady recovery in 2025 after a rough 2024. The analysts say Apple's relatively new wearable devices fueled much of the growth, and consumers are now generally more inclined to buy premium smartwatches. The growth of the Chinese smartwatch market has also contributed quite a bit, with Huawei leading the pack domestically, followed by Imoo and Xiaomi. Shipments in the country grew 15% YoY, and Huawei seized 40% of the domestic market...

Spotify Reserved offers advance concert tickets to the most dedicated fans

Today Spotify is launching a new feature called Reserved in the US. This basically means Spotify is holding two concert tickets for an artist's most dedicated fans, and will offer them the chance to grab said tickets before the general sale goes live. The company isn't saying exactly how it determines who to offer these tickets to, as it doesn't want to encourage strategic engagement. But it did say that eligibility is based "on a wide range of signals like streams, saves, and shares, as well as location". The location factor matters because it wants these tickets to only reach fans who...

SK hynix ships samples of its HBM4E memory: 16Gbps per pin, 48GB capacity per 12-layer stack

AI hardware doesn’t use regular DDR memory – it’s too slow. Instead, the preferred format is High Bandwidth Memory or HBM. SK hynix just announced that it has started delivering samples of the latest HBM4E to its customers. HBM4E delivers 16Gbps of bandwidth per pin. For comparison, the previous HBM4 standard did 10Gbps per pin. Samsung started sampling its own HBM4E design a month ago and it claimed 14Gbps per pin. The design currently being shipped to SK hynix’s partners has 12 dies stacked on top of each other. This 12-layer design works out to 48GB of capacity – that is per...

Gurman: Apple AirPods with built-in camera may arrive in late 2027

Back in May, a report claimed that Apple had entered the final stages of development for its camera-equipped AirPods. Now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has shared a revised launch timeline for the earbuds, along with a few additional details.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants to steal Apple's customers

The latest publicity stunt by Nothing involves its founder and CEO, Carl Pei, releasing a video on his Instagram profile. In the video, he addresses Apple, warning the Cupertino company that Nothing is going to steal its customers, "one bored iPhone user at a time". And that's it. Does Tim Cook even know that Nothing exists? Does his successor? Probably not. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Carl Pei (@getpeid) Smaller companies do sometimes pull such stunts, name dropping much bigger competitors, in order to have people watching create an unconscious...

WhatsApp continues testing "view once" text messages on iOS

WhatsApp has started testing "view once" messages on iOS. As the name implies, these will be messages that you send and can only be viewed once by the recipient. After they viewed them once, the messages will disappear. To enable the functionality you will just need to long-tap on the Send button, which will then present you with the option to "Send as view once". Engage that and you're done. WhatsApp initially started testing this feature on Android earlier this month, and now the same is happening on iOS. The view once option is already available for photos, videos, and voice...

Commodore announces Callback 8020, a phone "between dumb and smart"

Commodore is making a phone that isn't a full-on smartphone, nor is it a dumbphone. It straddles the line in a very obviously nostalgia-baiting fashion. Before we talk about the new Commodore Callback 8020, let's get something out of the way first. Commodore International Corporation (CIC), which now owns the brand, was established last year by Christian Simpson, a tech YouTuber who is the CEO. He's brought on some ex-employees of the original company, but this isn't the Commodore of old rising from the ashes like a Phoenix. It's an entirely different company which bought the rights to the...

No, the foldable iPhone Ultra has not been delayed, claims leakster

Yesterday, reports claimed that the foldable iPhone Ultra will be delayed until early next year – however, leakster Fixed Focus Digital believes these reports are false. According to FFD’s sources, production capacity is limited, but that doesn’t mean that the announcement has been delayed. Instead, the Ultra will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September as originally planned. The actual release of the foldable may be delayed, but only by a month at most, claims the leakster. As we mentioned yesterday, something like this has happened before – the iPhone X was...
