Video games are my favorite medium of artistic expression because they allow you to explore and exist in fully realized worlds. The Metroid franchise persists and is important to longtime game fans because it was an early touch-point for this kind of interactive experience. From its beginning, Metroid excelled at making you feel like you were in a science-fiction world that you were exploring at your own pace. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond maintains the high standard set by previous games in the series with incredible atmosphere and subtle touches that make the planet of Viewros look and sound real, but…
What’s happened? Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, and it’s the first Galaxy device that can run Samsung DeX directly on its 10-inch internal screen. For the uninitiated, DeX is Samsung’s desktop-style interface that turns your phone’s apps into resizable windows and gives you a computer-like working environment. It essentially lets your phone behave like a PC when you need more screen and more multitasking power. This is important because: Until now, DeX on phones typically required an external display (monitor or TV) to deliver a “desktop” experience. The TriFold changes that entirely, with a 10-inch screen that can…

Apple was hoping for the third time being the charm after the disappointing sales performance of both the iPhone mini and iPhone Plus. So far, headlines about the iPhone Air’s popularity have prompted an enormous sense of déjà vu. Nikkei says there’s “virtually no demand” for the handset and the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is anticipating production being cut back by 80%. iPhone Air demand has fallen short of expectations, leading the supply chain to begin scaling back both shipments and production capacity. Most suppliers are expected to reduce capacity by more than 80% by 1Q26, while some components with longer…
What’s happened? Samsung just dropped the Galaxy Z TriFold, its first phone with two hinges and a design that opens out into a 10-inch tablet. Samsung describes it as the most advanced hinge and display tech yet, and it’s built to bend twice without feeling fragile or bulky. A dual-rail ‘Armor FlexHinge’ with two hinge sizes works together to manage the uneven weight across the three panels. The triple-fold layout lets the screen panels meet with minimal gap, giving a thinner, pocketable build. The 10-inch main display uses a shock-absorbing layer to handle the strain of double-folding. This is important…
What’s happened? A viral power bank just went from backpacker favorite to potential safety hazard. An examination by Lumafield shows that the widely sold Haribo 20,000 mAh power bank (and earphones) has serious internal battery defects, which likely led to its removal from online stores. The scans revealed misaligned battery cells, with electrodes folded or warped instead of stacked flat. Layers inside the cells showed irregular geometry and uneven wrapping, indicating poor quality control. Lumafield found that the Haribo earbuds also contain poorly built battery cells with defects similar to the power bank. This is important because: Haribo power banks…

Usually, we’re stuck with the crowded 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands for hotspots, which are fine but not exactly speed demons. Now, Google is unlocking the 6GHz band – the super-fast lane used by Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 – for Android hotspots. Pixel owners can already find this buried in the settings (Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering). But here’s the catch: 6GHz is incredibly fast, but it hates walls and has a shorter range. Plus, your older laptop or tablet probably can’t even see it. That’s why the real magic is in a new feature Google…
