Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The Nothing Phone 2a is finally here after countless leaks and rumors. The phone offers a lower price than both the previous devices the company has released and still manages to deliver exceptional value for money in almost every category. The Nothing Phone 2a is a robust value king, but you might not be able to get your hands on it The Nothing Phone 2a comes with the first-ever internal smartphone design concept that the company has been working on for the past four years. The dual camera system, which is sitting right inside the NFC coil, is the main […]
It seems that the rumor mill surrounding the OnePlus 13 has started. Yesterday, we heard about how the phone is going to feature an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which will be a first for a OnePlus device, and based on the information that we have today, it appears that the phone is set to get more changes than just that. OnePlus 13 could go through another dramatic design change Digital Chat Station, a reliable tipster, claims that the OnePlus 13 will not be using a "family-style hinge," this is of course machine-translated, so we cannot really say much, but it could […]
The state of Oregon has just passed a historic Right to Repair law that is actually different than the ones we have seen in the past. The law dictates that manufacturers are going to have to make parts, tools, documentation, and software available for all electronics that were manufactured as far back as 2015, almost 9 years. Oregon's landmark Right to Repair law could change the tech industry for the better This Right to Repair law covers laptops, smartwatches, tablets, refrigerators, and several other devices. However, smartphones are not included in this law. For smartphones, the law applies to devices […]
In-display fingerprint sensors remain my favorite. Sure, the first generation of these sensors was not as good, but over the past couple of years, they have become a lot faster and more responsive. OnePlus and Xiaomi have been using optical variants for some time now, but new rumors suggest that the OnePlus 13 and Xiaomi 15 series will finally do the job with the much more advanced and secure ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Ultrasonic fingerprint readers are finally becoming more common with the Xiaomi 15 series and OnePlus 13 According to two separate tips on Weibo, Xiaomi is busy testing ultrasonic […]
The Galaxy S25 series is still ten months or maybe even more from coming to life at the Galaxy Unpacked in January 2025. However, this does not mean that the rumors will be held back as a new bold and very sketchy rumor has surfaced claiming that Samsung's next big thing will feature Exynos 2500 across the board, and we know that it is not going to be the case. Let me tell you why. The Galaxy S25 should feature a mix of Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 If you don't remember, Samsung and Qualcomm entered a multi-year […]
One of the best things about the Apple ecosystem is how all devices can work together to give you a seamless experience. Just look at Continuity Camera--a feature that lets you use your iPhone as a webcam every time you receive a call on your Mac. It's such a simple but genius idea that makes people stick to the ecosystem so loyally. Well, that feature is finally headed to Android devices, too. However, you are going to need to be a part of the Windows 11 Insider Program, and you also need the latest Link to Windows installed on your […]
A lot of us are looking forward to the Galaxy Ring, including me, and this is something that surprises me because I never thought that I would consider wearing a smart ring. Smart rings are nothing new in the tech world, but I believe the reason why I am excited is that Samsung is coming up with one because it will be a part of its ecosystem, which I find to be near-perfect. Of course, I am biased towards Samsung, but I have seen the company reinvent its mobile division, and it continues to do so. Everything to know about […]
If all things go accordingly, we should be seeing the Galaxy S24 FE launch sometime later this year. The indication suggests that the phone is going to come out sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, which sits well based on the previous release dates that Samsung has decided to go. Now, a new tip suggests that Samsung is going to use a combination of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400 in the phone. This is good news because the Galaxy S23 FE sported the older Exynos 2200 instead of the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and […]
We have been hearing a lot about an affordable foldable from Samsung coming out later this year, and the new information we have just received suggests that Samsung's upcoming foldable could be called the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE. This will be a low-cost alternative to its bigger brother. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE could become a reality, but not in the second half of this year What's even more interesting is that over the past couple of weeks, we heard that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have an even more expensive Ultra variant and the standard variant […]
The Galaxy Ring is easily one of the most impressive products that I am waiting for from Samsung. I understand that at the end of the day, it's just a smart ring, and we already have a couple from Oura available in the market, but the reason why I am excited about Samsung's offering is that it will complete the Galaxy ecosystem. Sadly, if you are on iOS and you are waiting for the ring to drop, we have some bad news as it is not going to work on iPhones. Samsung's ambitious claims about how good the Galaxy Ring […]
Moving from one OS to another is a huge commitment, to be honest. At least for an old timer like me, but several reports suggest that it is never too late to do that. A new report has surfaced showing the iPhone models that are most popular with people who are switching from an Android device, and while it is a sad truth, I am sure somewhere there is a list of Android phones that are most popular with people switching from an Apple device. Android users appear to be not happy with the experience they are getting and are […]
