If you’re in the market for a new flagship phone and are eyeing OnePlus’ latest offering, you’d be glad to know that the OnePlus 15 is finally up for sale in the US. First unveiled in China back in October, the device made its international debut over a month ago. However, it did not hit store shelves in the US due to a regulatory hurdle. Early last month, OnePlus revealed that it was unable to secure device certifications for the OnePlus 15 in time for the international launch, citing delays caused by the government shutdown. At the time, the company…
The recent Disney-Google fallout went beyond YouTube TV subscribers losing access to all Disney channels. Disney also pulled its entire movie catalog from Google TV and YouTube and dropped support for Google from its movie syncing service, Movies Anywhere. Although the companies settled their disagreement by November 14 and restored all Disney channels on YouTube TV, Disney didn’t relist its movies on Google’s digital storefronts until the end of last month. Nearly a month later, users can now finally link their Google accounts to Movies Anywhere to access movies purchased from Google Play and YouTube. According to 9to5Google, affected users…

Apple is expected to release its first foldable iPhone sometime next year, and recent leaks suggest it may look very different from Samsung’s flagship foldable. Instead of a tall, squarish display like the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Apple is said to be opting for a shorter, wider design. Now, a new report suggests Samsung could follow suit and offer a device with a similar form factor next year. According to ETNews, Samsung is prepping a “Wide Fold” to compete with the iPhone Fold. The device will reportedly feature a 7.6-inch foldable display, similar to the iPhone Fold’s rumored 7.69-inch inner…
Google might be about to undo one of its most debated Android interface changes, almost four years after it first showed up. When Google launched Android 12 in 2021, it killed the separate one-tap Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles we all knew. In their place came a single, combined “Internet” tile. The logic was that it would simplify connection management and stop people from accidentally eating through their data caps by forgetting to turn Wi-Fi back on. It sounded fine on paper, but in reality, it turned a quick action into a multi-tap chore, which frustrated a lot of users.…
Waymo’s robotaxis suffered a serious failure on Saturday when a power outage affecting a large part of San Francisco caused problems for its autonomous cars in the city. Some 130,000 residents lost power to their homes and businesses, while the outage also knocked out traffic lights at major intersections, causing confusion for Waymo’s robotaxis. Many of the autonomous vehicles came to a halt at intersections, contributing to congestion beyond the disruption already caused by the blank traffic lights. Waymo responded by suspending its robotaxi service as it waited for power — and the affected traffic lights — to come back…
Paradox Customs has introduced a rather radical option to its prebuilt PC configurator: the ability to order a system with no RAM installed. The boutique builder says the move is a direct answer to the massive memory shortage and sky-high DRAM prices currently rocking the industry, which have made it nearly impossible for system builders to keep kits in stock at a predictable price. For buyers who have a spare set of sticks at home or want to find a deal elsewhere, it’s a way to dodge the “RAM tax” that has been driving up prebuilt costs. A pragmatic response…

Samsung is once again leaning into its in-house silicon strategy, with fresh industry reports suggesting that the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 could be powered by the company’s next-generation Exynos 2600 chipset when it launches next summer. Exynos looks set to power Samsung’s next flip phone According to sources familiar with internal discussions, Samsung’s Mobile Experience (MX) division is actively considering equipping the Galaxy Z Flip 8 with the Exynos 2600 processor. This would mark a continuation of the company’s recent shift toward using its own silicon in the Flip lineup, which began with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 earlier…
The history of innovation at Mercedes-Benz goes back to the invention of the car itself. For most of that time, innovation has gone hand in hand with classism. Mercedes typically introduces new tech on its most-expensive cars first, allowing it to trickle down to more-affordable models once some of the development costs are amortized. Now […] The post It may be entry-level, but Mercedes’ CLA is an EV game changer appeared first on Digital Trends.
