I used an Android tablet for 4 weeks, they still lag behind iPad in a number of ways

Having tested lots of the best Android tablets over many years, I’ve become well acquainted with how Google’s operating system works on large-screen devices. I like some of them, and I’m a a regular user of Android myself  – but the fact that my go-to tablet for personal use remains an iPad Pro says it all. The best Android phones remain some of the most-anticipated mobiles each year, yet historically, iPad has remained the dominant tablet force. I’ve just come off of a month of testing the OnePlus Pad Go 2, which should be a tempting iPad alternative due to…

Now, a fresh leak has revealed the full lineup and their official names. The earlier leak, which showcased the SIM trays for Samsung’s upcoming flagship, pointed to four options: black, white, blue, and purple. But trusted tipster Evan Blass now claims that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could launch in six finishes, officially named Black, White, Silver Shadow, Sky Blue, Cobalt Violet, and Pink Gold.

Evernote v11 rolls out with shiny new AI features to lure you back

Evernote used to be among the best note-taking apps, but a messy update released back in 2020 and a steep price hike at the end of 2023 drove many users to alternatives like Google Keep and Apple Notes. Today, with the launch of Evernote v11, developer Bending Spoons is aiming for a comeback and, as expected, is banking heavily on new AI features to win users back. The most notable addition in the latest release is an AI Assistant that, much like ChatGPT and Gemini, lets users search and retrieve content from a chat window, modify or generate new content,…

Your next Sony TV may actually be built by TCL

It honestly feels like the end of an era. Sony, the company that practically invented the modern premium TV market, is effectively handing over the keys to its most iconic hardware division. In a move that would have been unthinkable twenty years ago, Sony is selling a 51% controlling stake in its home entertainment business—yes, that includes the legendary Bravia brand—to Chinese giant TCL. If you needed proof that the global TV landscape has completely flipped, this is it The End of Japanese Dominance: For a long time, “Made in Japan” was the gold standard for TVs. We watched Toshiba,…

OnePlus denies shutdown rumours, says reports of dismantling are “false”

OnePlus has strongly denied a recent report suggesting that the company is being “dismantled” and winding down its business, reaffirming that its operations are continuing normally. The clarification comes after an Android Headlines investigation claimed that OnePlus was effectively collapsing and being absorbed into its parent company Oppo, a narrative that triggered widespread speculation across tech circles and social platforms. According to the report, OnePlus’ global presence and market share have sharply declined, internal teams are allegedly being reduced, and key product launches might have been cancelled as part of an asserted consolidation strategy within Oppo. While no official confirmation…

This 0 discount fixes the biggest problem with Surface laptop pricing

Laptop deals are usually small discounts on underpowered configs, or big discounts on models that already feel dated. This one is different because it cuts the price on a modern, everyday premium machine in a way that actually changes the decision. The Microsoft Surface Laptop (Copilot+ PC, 13.8-inch touchscreen, Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, 7th edition) is $849.99, which is $350 off the $1,199.99 compared value. If you’ve been waiting for a “buy once, use it for years” Windows laptop price to come back down to earth, this is the kind of markdown that makes sense. What you’re…

The TV that doesn’t look like a TV is 0 off right now

Most big TVs are basically a black rectangle you tolerate until it’s turned on. The Frame is built for people who don’t want to tolerate it.

If you’ve ever loved the idea of The Frame but hated the price, this discount is the kind that makes it feel realistic. What you’re getting This is a 65-inch QLED 4K…

Mars has never looked so serene in this gorgeous image from a NASA rover

Nearly 14 years ago, NASA’s Curiosity rover landed on Mars for a mission to explore the red planet and discover if it had an environment capable of supporting microbial life. Over the years, the rover has also been beaming back striking images of its surroundings, including the stunner at the top of this page captured toward the end of last year. It’s actually a composite combining two images — one taken in the morning and the other in the early evening. Originally black and white, color was later added, with blue representing the morning panorama and yellow representing the afternoon…

AI is wreaking havoc with scams, and it’s raising the bills for buyers

AI-powered scams are no longer just a nuisance. They are quietly becoming a cost problem that everyday shoppers end up paying for. A new survey by the Identity Theft Resource Center highlights how small businesses are being hit by increasingly sophisticated cyber scams. Many of them powered by artificial intelligence, and the losses incurred by the businesses are now trickling down to customers in the form of higher prices. 4 out of 5 small businesses reported they were hit by a cyberscam or breach in the past year, showing how widespread the problem has become. Of those breached, 41% said…
