Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold shows hinge fatigue at 144,000 folds in independent test

Samsung’s brand-new triple-folding smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, is at the center of a fresh debate over foldable durability. A South Korean YouTube channel recently livestreamed a brutal “stress test” that pushed the device way past its limits. Since its launch last month, people have been skeptical of the complex dual-hinge design, and while Samsung claims it’s built to last, this independent test gives us a much more realistic – and slightly concerning – look at its long-term health. Stress Test Shows Early Warning Signs The YouTube channel OMG_electronics ran an automated eight-day marathon, folding and unfolding the TriFold non-stop.…

The world’s first 6K monitor with glasses-free 3D viewing has arrived

Ahead of the CES 2026, the South Korean tech giant Samsung has released what it claims is the “industry’s first 6K glasses-free 3D monitor.” The 32-inch monitor features an IPS panel, supports a peak refresh rate of 165Hz, and has HDMI 2.1 and DP 2.1 ports, but its main highlight is glasses-free 3D rendering. Unlike traditional 3D displays that require bulky eyewear (and a fair bit of patience), Samsung’s 6K 3D Odyssey G9 (G90XH) uses an advanced lenticular lens system paired with eye-tracking cameras to determine the direction of your gaze and adjust the perspective for each eye, creating the…

Four impressive robot demos from 2025, and one epic fail

It’s been quite a year for humanoid robots, with all manner of increasingly advanced designs coming to our attention. The selections here focus more on physical movement than AI smarts, with the latter expected to come to the fore next year. H1 by Unitree So many humanoid robots still walk as if they’re desperately looking for a bathroom. But Unitree’s H1 robot not only walks like a human, it runs like one, too. The impressive contraption proved itself at the first-ever World Humanoid Robot Olympics in August, picking up four gold medals, three silver, and four bronze in various track…

Gemini could soon handle tasks in the background without holding your screen hostage

Using the Gemini overlay on Android today comes with a major limitation that breaks the flow of multitasking. When you trigger Gemini using the hotword or by long pressing the power button, the assistant appears on top of whatever app you are using. But despite looking like an overlay, it does not behave like one. The moment you tap the background to return to another app, Gemini shuts down entirely. When you bring it back, the conversation is gone, and you have to start over, making longer or slower tasks frustrating to use. Google is now working on a fix…

Why smart glasses should be on your Christmas list next year

The festive shopping season is in full swing right now with deals and discounts on almost every storefront. And as usual, electronics gadgets are a hot commodity. Phones, hearables, and consoles are usually at the top of many wishlists, but one item, in particular, that I highly recommend is smart glasses.   I know. I know. The whole concept of putting on a pair of glasses that try hard to look like Ray-Bans, but still spook anyone nearby with conspicuous cameras, is something that many people are still uneasy with. But Meta isn’t the only label out there — with its…

Report from Samsung’s home market claims Galaxy S26 Edge is effectively dead

While it looked like Samsung was ready to release another Galaxy “Edge” variant, recent reports suggest that the company has pulled the plug, again. The Korean publication KED Global reports that Samsung Electronics has scrapped plans for the Galaxy S26 Edge. Instead, the company will now focus on a familiar three-phone lineup for 2026: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Earlier reports hinted that the company was experimenting with an ultra-thin phone, especially after the Cupertino-based tech giant Apple jumped into the category. However, sources close to the company’s supply chain now cite weak demand projection…

The Fallout TV Show’s Second Season Is Slower, But Still Good

As time goes on, I am comfortable awarding the first season of the Fallout TV show as my favorite video game adaptation. Well, actually, that honor still belongs to the 2021 Josh Ruben horror comedy Werewolves Within, but that movie is more technically based on a video game than it is an adaptation of beloved interactive media.Fallout has the much more difficult challenge of taking a well-known, well-liked, and dense video game universe that has existed since 1997 and condensing it down so anyone can enjoy it. But it also has to serve longtime fans of the franchise. And it also has…
