Nothing’s rumoured AI glasses could bring some much-needed style
If you’ve spent any time looking at the current crop of smart glasses, you’ll know the industry is currently stuck in a bit of a ‘tech-first, fashion-later’ rut. While Meta and Ray-Ban have done a decent job of making smart glasses look like, well, glasses, the rest of the market often makes it feel like…
Whatever you do, don’t buy this model of Samsung Galaxy A57
The Samsung Galaxy A57 is a distinctly mid-range smartphone – and I don’t mean that as an insult. The Galaxy A57 separates itself from much of the mid-range competition with a particularly premium glass and aluminium build that’s both thinner and lighter this year, along with Samsung’s polished One UI 8.5 software, a smattering of…
Samsung stopping sales of the TriFold is actually a good thing
Samsung’s decision to quietly pull the plug on its most futuristic foldable might sound like a step backwards, but I don’t think it is. The Galaxy Z TriFold has always been less a mainstream gadget and more a very expensive proof of concept – a flashy way for Samsung to show off what its foldable…
This might be the first foldable where the crease doesn’t matter
From the first foldables to the latest and greatest options in the market, from stalwarts like Samsung and Honor, there’s one consistent issue that manufacturers can’t seem to overcome: the crease. It makes sense when you think about it; when you fold something, it deforms, and a crease appears. It’s just physics. But for some…
Tecno’s modular tech could be the fix for ultra-thin phones
Ultra-thin phones were the thing in 2025. It felt like every big player in the smartphone market wanted to show off just how much engineering wizardry they could cram into something barely thicker than a USB-C port. But barely a year later, the tides are already shifting. Samsung revealed the S26 range last week without…
Passport-shaped foldables are making a comeback, and I couldn’t be happier
Every time I pick up a modern book-style foldable, I have the same thought: this is brilliant, but not perfect. For years, the foldable market has settled on tall, skinny designs that technically tick the ‘big inner screen’ box but never quite nail the experience of having a genuine tablet in your pocket – recent…
Samsung’s making a big mistake if it skips this feature in the Galaxy S26 range
I’m not asking Samsung to reinvent the smartphone every year. If we’re being honest, it feels like the era of genuinely “new” phones is behind us – aside from occasional outliers like the Clicks Communicator and Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold – and that’s fine. What I do want, however, is for Samsung to stop treating…
Smartphone AI is slowly turning into bloatware we can’t remove
There used to be a very easy way to deal with smartphone bloatware: you’d set up the device, find the folder of pre-installed games or apps you never asked for, and spend about 10 minutes deleting them. It was a bit of a tax on your time, but it was achievable. However, in the age…
This hyper-niche public transport app is my new obsession
Living in London, apps like Citymapper, Google Maps and, of course, TFL Go are essential for getting around the vast, winding public transport network to get from A to B. The problem? They’re not always the most reliable. Since I relocated to a new area of London a few months ago, I’ve been getting myself…
Asus is stepping away from making smartphones, but is anyone really surprised?
Rumours began swirling in early January that Asus was planning on exiting the smartphone business amidst seriously dwindling sales across its Zenfone and ROG Phone lines – and we’ve now had confirmation that is indeed the case. Asus Chairman Jonney Shih confirmed the exit from the smartphone industry at a special event at the Taipei…
