New rumors have started the chatter of a new Galaxy Pro flagship phone once again, and this immediately makes sense to me—but it’s not for flattering reasons. Samsung may be adding a fourth Galaxy S27 model next year, with a “Pro” variant expected to sit right below the top-of-the-line S27 Ultra. This model essentially bridges the gap between the standard and Ultra Galaxy phones with high-end features, minus the S Pen. Some of these premium features could include the S26 Ultra’s new Privacy Display feature. All of this sounds smart on paper, but it also sounds like acceptance. After spending…
If you’ve been following NASA’s latest moon mission, you’ve probably seen headlines about everything from the floating iPhone in Artemis II to its advanced toilet system.

Indoor wireless is hitting limits as more devices crowd the same spectrum. Streaming, video calls, and smart home gear are pushing networks harder while power use rises. A new class of laser chips offers a different path by moving data onto light. Researchers built a chip-scale optical link that delivers ultra-fast indoor connections with lower energy use. Instead of broadcasting signals widely, it sends data through controlled infrared beams, opening more usable capacity while avoiding interference in dense spaces. At the core is a chip with 25 microscopic lasers, each carrying its own stream. Working in parallel, they push throughput…

It’s a small change, but it targets a real trust gap in how apps get evaluated before downloading. The update is rolling out with a recent Play Store version, adding a search bar inside app listings. Cut through the noise faster The update adds a search bar…
