The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is, by almost every measure, a phone that shouldn’t exist in the first place, and yet here we are: a massive 10-inch screen, two hinges, and a price tag that might make your wallet cry.  Samsung knew it was a first-generation device, which is why it kept production intentionally limited, a controlled showcase of engineering ambition rather than a full market rollout.  However, “more hits than misses” is not the bar you set for a device that costs almost as much as two or three conventional smartphones. For now, the TriFold is gone, but its…

ChatGPT. Every student uses it to write their papers. So goes the pervading fear, that is. If you’re a teacher today who assigns any type of writing, good luck. You’re in for a long, arduous road of making a series of impossible decisions over the validity of your students’ work. So goes the argument, and it’s got a lot of credit. When ChatGPT hit the scene in 2022, composition teachers (and teachers in general) across the country began to jointly rub their foreheads in despair. And yes, over three years later, universities are still trying to deal with how to…

Old jeans and old sneakers get a pass because fashion is cyclical. One year something looks dead, a few years later it’s back with a better markup and a straight-faced explanation about authenticity. I’m starting to see consumer tech the same way. The revival isn’t limited to one corner of the junk drawer, either. It’s showing up in phones, cameras, audio gear, movies, and games. A tiny camera dangling from a wrist has more personality than another glass slab taking overprocessed night-mode shots. Then there’s the quieter appeal. These gadgets don’t need to become platforms. They mostly do the thing,…

Gaming phones have a heating problem, but Infinix thinks it has cracked the solution. Meet the Infinix GT 50 Pro, a gaming phone with an industry-first micro-pump liquid cooling system that works more like a gaming PC than a smartphone. And yes, you can literally watch the coolant flow through a transparent Pipeline Window Display on the back. How does the Infinix GT 50 Pro’s liquid cooling system actually work? The HydroFlow Liquid Cooling Architecture uses a piezoelectric-driven ceramic heat pump. It circulates specially formulated coolant at 6.5ml per minute through precision channels etched with micron-level laser accuracy. The system…

Google is making it very easy to feel like a music producer, whether you have the skills or not. The company has announced that ProducerAI, an AI-powered music-making platform, is joining Google Labs, bringing together sound generation, visuals, and video into one experimental creative tool. ProducerAI is powered by a preview version of Lyria 3, Google’s newest music-generation model. You can describe what you want, and the AI helps you build it, whether that means crafting beats, shaping melodies, or experimenting with entirely new sounds. ProducerAI first launched in July 2025 to let users collaborate with an AI agent to…

What stayed with me after using the OnePlus Nord 6 was not only the number attached to its battery. It was how weirdly normal the whole phone still felt. A 9,000mAh cell sounds like something that should belong inside a chunky gaming monster or a rugged brick with zero finesse. So despite its powerbank-like capacity, the Nord 6 is a fairly normal-looking mid-range phone with the kind of battery life that makes a lot of premium flagships look timid. The absurd part is how normal it still feels The Nord 6 is not some one-note battery gimmick. It would have…

For the longest time, I’ve thought of foldable phones as a solution in search of a problem. They’re expensive, fragile, and often feel like they’re trying too hard to justify their existence. While I’ve appreciated the engineering behind them, I never quite saw how they would improve my actual day-to-day life. To me, a regular slab phone just made more sense. Simpler, cheaper, and good enough for almost everything. I was never too psyched about foldables Part of that skepticism came from experience. I had tried flip-style foldables before, and they didn’t leave a great impression. The battery life on…

If you have ever stared at a chaotic wall of Spotify playlists on your phone and wished you could just organize them into folders, we have good news. Spotify is finally rolling out playlist folders to its iOS and Android apps. Playlist folders have existed on Spotify’s desktop app since 2010, making this a 16-year wait for mobile users. A Redditor was the first to flag the feature going live on iOS, with different users on the same thread confirming it had shown up on Android too. How do Spotify playlist folders work on mobile? To get started, tap the…
