Two fresh OnePlus 16 leaks just landed within days of each other. Together, they point to a flagship that could outlast its competition with its massive battery, and one that ships with genuinely better camera hardware than the OnePlus 15.  So what’s happening with the cameras? According to an X post from OnePlusClub, the OnePlus 16 is set to debut the company’s first 200MP primary camera sensor, which could be a significant upgrade from the current 50MP sensor.  Earlier rumors also hinted toward the presence of a 200MP periscope telephoto lens.

A leaked internal memo suggests the next Xbox console, codenamed Project Helix, could play games from every generation the company has ever released. If true, that would make it the largest game library on any console, especially since it’s also said to support PC games. Backward compatibility for four console generations The Verge‘s Tom Warren has obtained a document that Microsoft reportedly sent to publishers, outlining its plans for Helix to run games spanning every past Xbox generation.

The biggest AI chatbots are supposed to help people find information, not manufacture misinformation. But a new investigation suggests that separating those two jobs isn’t as straightforward as many AI companies would like users to believe. A series of tests found that several leading AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Meta AI, could be persuaded to generate fake news stories, fabricated headlines, and even realistic-looking screenshots of well-known media outlets. While every chatbot showed some weaknesses, ChatGPT reportedly performed the worst, producing the most convincing fake content with surprisingly little effort. The findings come from an investigation…

If you’ve ever had to look for any sort of heat leaks or hot wires, chances are that you’ve probably used a dedicated handheld camera. But RISION has just launched a tiny new camera tool to make the job easier (and more pocketable). It reminds me of the InfiRay we checked out a while back. RISION has introduced the Magic and Magic Pro, two compact thermal cameras that plug directly into supported USB-C phones, tablets, and Windows computers. Each module weighs 24 grams, draws power from the connected device, and requires no separate battery. Support covers compatible iPhones, Android devices,…

Samsung has spent generations refining hinges, reinforcing display layers, and promising increasingly subtle creases. But soon, it might eliminate the crease by physically carving away part of the glass where the screen folds. Samsung Display is developing a foldable OLED cover layer known as Center-Etched Thin Glass, or CTG, alongside its suppliers. The technology selectively etches the central folding section of the ultra-thin glass, leaving that area thinner than the rest of the panel. Industry sources believe it could appear in some Galaxy Z9 foldables as early as 2027. It is also known as Hybrid UTG, since a single glass…

How Smart Health Links work Google Health has let users upload medical records since the app replaced the Fitbit app in May, giving its AI-powered Health Coach data to reference when answering health questions.

Apple and OpenAI’s legal battle has quickly moved beyond carefully worded court statements. OpenAI has just shared the email and message trails behind the dispute, and one exchange leaves Apple’s version of events looking questionable. In a bluntly titled post, “Apple is getting this wrong,” OpenAI challenged Apple’s request for a preliminary injunction and accused the iPhone maker of building parts of its case around false or incomplete information. Apple wants a court to prevent OpenAI and two former Apple employees from accessing, acquiring, using, or disclosing its alleged confidential information. Apple’s paper trail contains a hilarious mix-up Apple previously…
