AirPods Ultra are coming with cameras for Siri

Apple is rumored to be getting really serious about Ultra branding in the coming months, with the iPhone Fold expected to actually be launched as the iPhone Ultra. There will also be a MacBook Ultra, and a new pair of AirPods Ultra. These will basically be the AirPods Pro 3, but with added cameras. The cameras will be used by Siri - that is, the new, revamped, AI-ified Siri powered by Gemini, which is (hopefully) finally coming in iOS 27 later this year. The AirPods Ultra have been rumored before, and presumably those cameras will be there so you can ask Siri about what you're...

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to have fewer cameras than its predecessor

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 series has recently been rumored to arrive with a big design overhaul - moving the camera island. In fact, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could look something like this: This is not a leaked image, it's just a speculative render based on the aforementioned rumor. From the same source, the prolific Ice Universe, comes another revelation: Samsung is going to be changing the S27 Ultra in the actual camera department too, not just the location of the camera island. Apparently, the 3x telephoto camera from the S26 Ultra (and its predecessors) will be gone in the S27...

Moto Buds 2 Plus arrive with Dynamic ANC, 9-hour battery life, Sound by Bose

Alongside the three new 2026 Razrs, the Moto G87, G47, G37, and G37 Power, Motorola has also introduced the Moto Buds 2 Plus TWS earbuds. These will go on sale later today at Motorola.com for $149.99. They are obviously the successors to the original Moto Buds+, launched back in 2024, and they're $50 cheaper than those. Like their predecessors, the Moto Buds 2 Plus feature sound by Bose, which still strikes us as odd - Bose makes its own TWS earbuds, after all, and these are competing in the same space (though not at the same price, granted). Anyway, the new Moto earbuds sport 11mm...

Laptops sold in the EU now required to ship with USB-C charging

The European Union’s common charger directive came into effect back in December of 2024 and required most new portable electronic devices to ship with a unified USB-C connector. Back then, the EU Commission extended the transition for laptop manufacturers by an extra 16 months, and the grace period officially expired yesterday, April 28. This means that all new laptops sold in the European Union are now required by law to feature at least one USB-C port for charging. The directive specifies that all laptops with a 100W or lower power rating are required to transition to USB-C charging....

iPhone Ultra gets compared to the Huawei Pura X Max

Huawei unveiled the Pura X Max earlier this month as its entrant into the large wide foldable smartphone space, one that's expected to become pretty crowded later this year with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold Wide and, of course, the iPhone Ultra (aka iPhone Fold) - which has definitely influenced both the Huawei and the Samsung devices even though it's not even official yet. Today we get to take a look at an iPhone Ultra dummy unit compared side-by-side with the Huawei Pura X Max in the short video below. As you can see, the form factor is pretty similar, even though the two...

The Commission has proposed changes to resolve the situation and has invited people to a public consultation.

Yesterday a leak brought us renders of Samsung's upcoming pair of smart glasses, and we obviously assumed these would be called Galaxy Glasses.

We're talking about the Nearby Device Scanning app, which is part of Samsung's One UI on Galaxy phones and tablets, and ensures you can quickly connect to nearby devices - like the upcoming Galaxy Glasses.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide to have the same selfie camera improvement as the Fold8

A few days ago a rumor claimed that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 would have a smaller hole punch for the selfie camera on its cover display, and the difference was quite noticeable. Today, the same source claims to have confirmed the fact that the Galaxy Z Fold Wide (or whatever it ends up being called) will have a similarly small hole-punch for its cover display's selfie camera too. Both of these will apparently be the smallest hole punches Samsung's ever had on its foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold Wide is rumored to be unveiled right alongside the Fold8, most likely in July, at...

vivo Y600 Pro arrives with 10,200mAh Si-C battery and Dimensity 7300e

In just two generations, vivo has nearly doubled the battery capacity of its Y-series Pro smartphones. The Y400 Pro, which launched last June, arrived with a 5,500mAh battery, which is pretty average for midrangers these days. The Y500 Pro followed in November with a significant bump up to 7,000mAh, but the freshly announced Y600 Pro makes them both feel tiny thanks to its 10,200mAh Si-C battery. That’s a full 38Wh battery inside a smartphone, and it features fourth-generation silicon anode technology with 15% silicon content and an energy density of 886Wh/L. Judging by the...

Well, besides brain-rot optimization, there are actually some practical use cases, like during a busy sports season when you want to keep an eye on multiple matches at once.

Well, who better to potentially start killing it off than Google? The company certainly has a dark track record of mishandling brands and products. The situation might not be too bad at the moment, though. We are certainly only piecing clues together, and there is no formal announcement yet.

They depict a familiar design upfront with a tall and narrow-looking display with the front-facing camera integrated inside the top bezel next to the earpiece.

However, it's not all bad news for the iPhone 18, apparently. According to a new report, the device will come fitted with 12GB of RAM. That's up from 8GB on its predecessor, so it's quite a jump, especially seeing as how we're currently in the middle of a RAM pricing crisis thanks to AI data centers using up all of the production capacity. The iPhone 18 is said to be powered by Apple's upcoming A20 chipset, made on a 2nm process by...

Weekly deals: Galaxy A37 and A57 launch, but Galaxy S25 FE and Pixel 10a present a challenge

It was a pretty uneventful week for the US smartphone market – the biggest (and worst) thing that happened is that Samsung hiked up the prices of several of its smartphone and tablet models. It’s not so bad, though, as you don’t actually have to pay the new MSRPs – we have better deals. Also this week, Samsung is finally launching the Galaxy A37 and A57.

Production will likely continue throughout 2026 in order to fulfill all orders. Once LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X modules are phased out, Samsung will convert the existing production lines to LPDDR5 manufacturing in the first quarter of 2027. It's no surprise that Samsung is shifting its efforts toward the newer DRAM generation, given the memory semiconductor supercycle that's upon us.
