The year 2025 ended on a solid note for smartphones. Apple finally embraced a fresh design for its Pro phones, armed them with all-big sensors, and equipped them with a vapor chamber, while simultaneously delivering a knockout punch with the iPhone 17. Samsung ended the year on a rather futuristic note by delivering a new breed of foldable phones, the Galaxy Z TriFold. OnePlus proved that a massive battery can power a sleek flagship phone without making it look like a tank, or costing a fortune. Honor went a step ahead and put a physical fan and an even bigger…
A Reddit post has sparked concern after one Pixel 10 Pro owner claimed the Pixel 10 Pro flashlight lens melted, leaving a dark, crater-like mark around the LED module in a macro photo. The user says it showed up during normal use, not after a drop or any obvious mishap. That’s not proof of a widespread problem though, but it’s the kind of hardware damage that’s easy to miss. A few key details aren’t clear: how long the flashlight was left on, whether the phone was in a thick case, whether it was in a hot environment, and whether any…
Ever since I got my first smartphone, and eventually made my way into tech journalism, I’ve had a soft spot for palm-friendly devices. But finding one that is practically rewarding has been pretty challenging due to technical constraints or just bad choices. The OnePlus 13s came pretty close, but the lack of an ultrawide sensor and poor thermals proved to be a big hiccup. The Samsung Galaxy S25 was a fairly well-rounded option, but plagued by bad battery life, worse thermals, and unsatisfactory camera performance for the price. As a result, I have always returned to the vanilla iPhone, or…
As the self-quantification movement matures, users are expanding beyond physical tracking to assess how they think, decide, and adapt. In this shift, platforms like MyIQ are gaining new relevance. Once dominated by steps, calories, and sleep cycles, the self-tracking landscape is tilting toward cognition. It’s no longer just about what the body does – but about how the brain performs under pressure, in complex decisions, and across emotional dynamics. The demand for introspection is shifting from wellness trends to behavioural tools. That evolution is visible in the growing adoption of MyIQ. It’s not a lifestyle tool. It’s a structured system…
NASA is making final preparations for two spacewalks at the International Space Station (ISS). It’s been eight long months since the U.S. space agency sent any of its own astronauts into the harsh vacuum of space, so there’s some excitement among ISS-watchers around the upcoming extravehicular activities. The first one is currently scheduled for Thursday, January 8, with NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman set to leave the relative safety of the station via the Quest airlock. The two astronauts will prepare the 2A power channel for the future installation of roll-out solar arrays. Once installed, the arrays will…
The TV world is an exciting one, with the various major brands and outsiders constantly one-upping each other with new screen technologies, intelligent operating systems and low prices. And so as we enter the new year, people are naturally asking: what could 2026 bring for TVs? There were some great changes in 2025: Mini-LEDs became cheaper, OLEDs gained some new features and companies continued to roll out some useful software enhancement features. Our list of the best TVs saw some shake-ups. But I’m expecting 2026 to be even bigger, thanks to a brand-new kind of screen technology that’ll hit shelves.…

Researchers have unveiled a new AI video generation technique called TurboDiffusion that can create synthetic videos at near-instant speed. It can generate AI video up to 200 times faster than with existing methods, without sacrificing visual quality. The work is a joint effort between ShengShu Technology, Tsinghua University, and researchers affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley. According to its developers, the system is designed to dramatically cut the time it takes to generate video, a process that has traditionally been slow and computationally expensive. TurboDiffusion sets a new speed benchmark When tested on a consumer PC equipped with Nvidia’s…
