OnePlus has finally shared an early look at its upcoming compact flagship, the OnePlus 15T. The company just shared official images on its Chinese social media, showcasing a palm-friendly design that is gaining popularity in the smartphone market. But if the design feels a little familiar, that’s because it is. The OnePlus 15T sticks to the company’s recent design language, which was first seen in its predecessor (OnePlus 13T). Familiar looks, small footprint The OnePlus 15T is a compact flagship phone that will reportedly feature a display around 6.3 inches tall. This is likely a flat AMOLED panel, making it…

The Chinese e-commerce juggernaut has been one of the most aggressive spenders in digital advertising, blitzing Facebook and Instagram with a volume and velocity of ads few could match. But that spending spree is now showing signs of strain – thanks to a familiar force: President Donald Trump.  The president’s renewed push for steep tariffs on Chinese imports has started to rattle the retailer – and much of the social ad business. According to market research firm Sensor Tower, Temu’s U.S. ad spending on Meta fell 10% year on year in first quarter 2025. The platform represented 68% of its…

Rumors about Apple’s first foldable iPhone have been circulating for well over a year, with reports repeatedly indicating that the company is preparing to enter the foldable phone market later this year. A new leak may now offer the clearest look yet at the device’s possible design. Alleged 3D CAD-based renders of the iPhone Fold have surfaced online, offering an early look at its design. The images, shared by Sonny Dickson on X, reveal a squat, book-style foldable with a camera island that resembles the one seen on the iPhone Air. It spans the entire width of the device but,…

While Samsung may have deprioritized stylus support across its lineup, dropping key S Pen features from last year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra and removing stylus support altogether from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, another brand is heading in the opposite direction. Oppo has started teasing its upcoming foldable phone, the Find N6, and its latest teaser confirms stylus support despite the device’s ultra-thin design. Shortly after releasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last year, Samsung revealed that it dropped stylus support due to two key factors: low usage and design constraints. The company noted that not enough people were using the…

U.S. Judge Leonie Brinkema just called it: Google broke the law to cement its monopoly over online advertising. Four weeks in September laid bare exactly how it did it. But if you missed the courtroom drama or need a refresher, here’s the unfiltered story of how Google boxed out rivals and took over online advertising — straight from the people who were caught in the crossfire.But for those who were there from the beginning, the story of Google’s rise in ad tech was already written in the margins — long before any courtroom showdown.  Matt Wasserlauf, now the CEO of…

At the recent CES 2026 tech show in Las Vegas, Boston Dynamics showed off the latest version of its advanced Atlas humanoid robot, a machine that it’s been working on for more than a decade. The robot strolled onto the stage with such a natural gait that it must have had many audience members wondering if the team behind the robot had somehow managed to squeeze a human inside. But it was, in fact, 100% humanoid robot.  At what appeared to be a side event at last week’s tech show, Boston Dynamics took some time out to entertain a small…

Motorola hasn’t said a word officially, but China’s TENAA certification database (via Gadgets360) has done the talking anyway. The Motorola Razr 70 has appeared on TENAA under model number XT2657-2, and the listing is packed with enough detail to paint a fairly clear picture of what’s coming — assuming you enjoy reading certification databases at breakfast. Razr 70’s ultrawide camera could get a resolution bump Cameras are where the Razr 70 makes its clearest argument for an upgrade. The Razr 60 got by with a 50MP main lens and a 13MP ultrawide that, frankly, belonged in a different price bracket.…

For years, Apple has played the role of the bystander in advertising — wealthy, capable and largely disinterested. It had the reach, the hardware, the data, the closed loop ecosystem, it had everything but the need. Apple’s quiet rebrand of its search ads business to the more assertive “Apple Ads” may seem like a modest semantic update but in the context of platform power plays, language rarely shifts without intention. The move suggests that Apple is no longer content to just collect rent from the ad tech ecosystem it reshaped through privacy policies. It wants a larger piece of the action. …

For Android app developers relying on AI to code, picking the right model can be tricky. Not all models are built the same, and many are not specifically trained for Android development workflows. To address this, Google has introduced a new benchmark to help developers understand how well different AI models perform on real-world Android coding tasks. Dubbed Android Bench, the new benchmark is designed to evaluate how well large language models (LLMs) handle typical Android development tasks. Google explains that the benchmark evaluates models using real-world tasks from public projects on GitHub and asks models to recreate actual pull…

The hottest new trend in the world of e-commerce is AI or agentic shopping. ChatGPT got a shopping experience all the way back in April last year, and followed it up with a shopping research tool in November. A few weeks later, Amazon also introduced conversational shopping features powered by its new Alexa+ assistant, building atop the foundations laid by the Rufus chatbot.  Just a few days ago, Microsoft also integrated a dedicated shopping and checkout system within Copilot. Google is now stepping into the arena with an expansive set of partners to enable shopping with Gemini and in the…
