Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 is expected to arrive next summer, and today some details about it have been outed. It will allegedly come with the same 200MP camera that its predecessor also uses. This will be paired with a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, an improvement from the Fold7's 10MP shooter. The ultrawide camera will be new too, borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with 50MP resolution. That will also definitely improve upon the Fold7's 12MP snapper.

According to this source, the Poco M8 Pro will be identical to the upcoming Redmi Note 15 Pro+ in every way bar one. The key difference will be in the camera department, where, the tipster says, "Poco swaps the 200MP 4x optical zoom periscope telephoto camera for a 50MP main camera on the rear". That doesn't make a lot of sense - how can you replace a telephoto camera with a main camera?

Also: My favorite E Ink tablet just got an ultraportable successor - with upgrades in several ways I already loved the previous model of this tablet, the 10-inch Nxtpaper 10, but it was a Verizon exclusive that you couldn't easily buy elsewhere. The new Nxtpaper 11 Plus is an even better variation of one of my favorite tablets, and it's available at (just the tablet), or (for the tablet, stylus, and case) with Black Friday deals.

Despite its bite-sized form factor, the is a powerhouse. Lenovo first showcased this ultraportable at CES 2024, and initial impressions centered on the return of Magic Bay, a modular family of peripherals that connect to the laptop via magnetic pogo pins (think MagSafe, but for laptops). Also: Laptop battery dying too soon? How to check its health in one click But even though the Magic Bay products might be the most attention-grabbing, this Lenovo laptop has a lot more going for it under the hood. In fact, this laptop is surprisingly versatile.

It's officially last-minute-panic time with just a week left to get your presents bought and wrapped, and the number of items on Amazon with the "arrives before Christmas" is dwindling, and dwindling fast. Our advice? Don't panic, and take a quick look at this awesome 36% off deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ tablet. It's one of those rare tablets that's kid-friendly while not being a glorified toy, so it's a stellar $140 last-minute option for friends and family from young to old.

Choosing the right active noise-cancelling wireless earbuds under Rs 8,000 can significantly improve everyday listening. Whether you're listening to music on your daily commute, taking calls in busy surroundings, or trying to focus while working, good ANC earbuds help reduce background noise and let you hear more clearly. In this price range, factors such as comfort, sound quality, battery life, and noise cancellation performance play an important role in deciding overall value.

The IdeaPad Slim 3 laptop has an Intel 13th Gen Core i5-13420H processor inside and this octa-core chip lets you do a lot of things at once. This processor has a hybrid architecture with four performance cores that can run at speeds of up to 4.6GHz and four efficiency cores that can run at speeds of up to 3.4GHz which means it can do anything from streaming video to working on spreadsheets without any problems.

We've also had a lot of great questions and comments this year from you, our audience. It's now an annual tradition for us to turn the tables on Nilay for our final episode of the year, so we pulled together all the feedback we've received on topics like CarPlay, Monday episode guest suggestions, and - of course - AI. We also received a lot of great questions over the last few weeks asking about how Decoder is put together,

It combines the "active-loop suction" of Displace's TVs, with a rechargeable battery that can power whatever screen you mount on it and a built-in PC that runs Displace's "ambient computing platform." The Hub uses an Intel N-150 4-core CPU with an integrated GPU, 16GB RAM and 128GB of storage to run Displace's operating system, and includes a 15,000mAh battery to keep everything powered.

GaN technology makes this charger 51% smaller than Apple's original 67W MacBook adapter which means it fits in your pocket or bag without making a bulge. Silicon-based chargers make more heat and need bigger parts to safely handle high wattage. Gallium nitride, on the other hand, runs cooler and more efficiently in a smaller space. The foldable prongs make it even easier to carry around because they don't get caught on things like fixed-prong adapters do.

The new H7 soundbar - which runs on the same Alpha 11 Gen 3 chip as LG's OLEDs and new Micro RGB LED - is a part of the LG Sound Suite, a modular home audio system the company will debut at CES 2026. In addition to the soundbar, the Sound Suite will include the M5 and M7 surround speakers and the W7 subwoofer.

It made the experience very realistic to my needs: start slow, work my way up, then, if I'm feeling it, go for turbo. Admittedly, when you have the Spinel on turbo, you're likely to have flashbacks to when Carrie Bradshaw was subjected to such aggressive jack rabbit sex that she couldn't stand up straight at Charlotte's wedding. However, because the vaginal muscles create resistance when it's inside, turbo mode was quite pleasurable, especially because I used a lot of lube.

Steam's annual winter sale kicked off today, and will run through Monday, January 5th at 1PM ET. Now's a great time to stock up on some of the best games of 2025 at a solid discount, or add some classics to your backlog if you've got a hole in your library. Thousands of games are on sale, but we've picked out some highlights to help you get started.

Air purifiers and humidifiers usually look like they belong in a hospital supply closet rather than a bedroom. Most are boxy white appliances with visible mist plumes, blinking lights, and a general vibe that says "I am here to solve a problem" rather than "I belong in this space." Meanwhile, people who care about sleep quality and skin health are starting to realize that the air itself might be part of the routine.

But let's get to the specifics so you know what you're getting. This laptop has a AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD to hold all the games you want to install and more. It's a fairly powerful machine for the money that brings serious gaming and productivity to your fingertips without the bulk of a desktop. Because most importantly, it's portable, and you'll want to be able to take it with you wherever you go.

If you like watching your favorite shows and movies wherever you go, a streaming stick is a veritable must-have. You can use it on just about any TV, and cue up all the streaming services you have in one place, all with one device. It brings popular streaming apps together in one place and turns almost any TV into a smart TV without taking up space or adding clutter.

The best grip we've tried for Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale at Best Buy as a last-minute holiday deal. Dbrand's Killswitch Grip Case Travel Bundle is discounted to $72 (was $80). Though it's pricier than many Switch 2 grips available on Amazon, the Killswitch has superb ergonomics, a clever dock adapter that works seamlessly, and a three-piece design that lets you use the grips for mouse mode and single Joy-Con 2 motion controls.

The Beats Studio Pro headphones support active noise cancellation, so you can filter out distracting background noises when you really want to focus in on whatever it is you're listening to. This is great for when flying to overcome the loud noise of the plane engine as well as when just trying to ignore nearby conversations in a chatty office. Then when you do want to engage with the world once more, you can switch over to transparency mode to let outside noises come through.

Microsoft cut the price of its 2025 Xbox wireless controller on Amazon to $38, which is the lowest price ever for hardware that just came out. That's a $26 discount off the $64 list price, and here's the best part: it's a lot cheaper than Sony's DualSense (currently selling for $54, down from $74). Yes, these controllers were made for different consoles, but if you play games on your PC or on more than one device, this price makes the Xbox controller the clear choice.

But China has now raced far beyond the flirtation stage. It's rolling out fleets of autonomous delivery trucks, experimenting with flying cars and installing parking lot robots that can swap out your E.V.'s dying battery in just minutes. There are drones that deliver lunch by lowering it from the sky on a cable. If all that sounds futuristic and perhaps bizarre, it also shows China's ambition to dominate clean energy technologies of all kinds,

Someone finally built a life-sized Pokéball you can actually climb inside, and honestly, it's about damn time. For nearly three decades, we've been throwing these things at Pidgeys and Rattatas without ever really knowing what happens when that button clicks and the whole thing seals shut. The anime gave us vague red-light-energy-conversion-something explanations, the games treated it like a loading screen, and the trading cards just showed them closed. The mystery has persisted through 1,000+ Pokémon species, countless regional variants,

I could immediately tell Nobl's 20-Inch Carry-On Trunk Suitcase would transform my packing experience. It has clever details like a built-in beverage holder and four hands-free bag hooks, but that's not the only thing that makes it noteworthy. Measuring 15 by 10 by 23 inches, Nobl's trunk design means it's slightly taller than a standard carry-on, yet it's still compact enough to fit comfortably inside most airline overhead bins.

The Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Astro Boy Limited Edition brings together two worlds that seem miles apart: the technical precision of luxury Swiss watchmaking and the retro-futuristic charm of one of manga's most iconic characters. Created by the legendary Osamu Tezuka in 1952, Astro Boy embodies optimism about technology and the future, which makes this partnership with Breitling's pilot-focused Avenger line oddly perfect.

From their thick, ultra-sturdy outsoles to their fuzzy, well-constructed uppers, these slippers are seriously durable and likely to last through years of frequent wear. And despite their high quality materials, they're incredibly lightweight. I assumed they'd weigh about as much as my Bearpaw Retro Super Shorty booties, but the slippers are significantly lighter (so I can pack them for winter vacations).

As is usually the case with Winterfest, there will be lots of new collaboration cosmetics in the item shop. Three entirely new collaborations have already been revealed: Harry Potter, SpongeBob Squarepants, and Bleach. Harry Potter is getting a set of generic Fortnite people wearing Hogwarts uniforms, whereas Bleach appears to include four skins based on characters from the series. We're also getting a car based on the SpongeBob Squarepants Patty Wagon, and that collab will reportedly also feature SpongeBob and Patrick as sidekicks.

However, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 remains compact enough to accompany you to work, school, or travel, without weighing down your backpack or shoulder bag like a laptop would. As an entertainment tablet, the Pad Go 2 performs exceptionally well, particularly when compared to other Android tablets in its price range. It can be an all-day device with a long battery life, allowing it to transition smoothly from work to streaming or gaming.
