The next palm-friendly premium phone from OnePlus has been surfacing in teasers and leaks for weeks. But now, the company has finally revealed the launch date for its upcoming OnePlus 15T. The device will debut later this month in China, arriving as the next compact powerhouse. In a recent teaser poster, OnePlus confirmed that the 15T’s launch event is set for March 24, 2026. What’s all the buzz about? For fans of smaller phones, this is a big moment. Compact Android flagships aren’t too common, and OnePlus seems to be ready to double down on the segment again. And the…

Quick delivery has always been one of Amazon’s core tenets and a significant reason behind the company’s success. It started with Amazon offering 1-day and 2-day deliveries to its Prime members, which later expanded to same-day delivery for eligible products.  The company is now aiming to speed up deliveries further and has introduced two new options: 1-hour and 3-hour delivery, available across hundreds of cities in the United States. The new options cover over 90,000 products, ranging from pantry staples and cleaning supplies to over-the-counter medications, electronics, toys, and clothing. How does it work and how much will it cost…

Two and a half years ago, Oren Schauble realized he didn’t understand content creation. At the time, Schauble was the svp of marketing for a toy company, Gel Blaster, and recognized that the traditional advertising toolkit wouldn’t cut it when organic social was “the future.” He decided to dedicate an hour a night — the time he’d typically spend watching Netflix — to making content on TikTok and, eventually, Instagram. “As soon as I got it, it changed everything about what I was capable of at my job,” said Schauble. “I was able to rapidly deploy campaigns, know how to make…

Grammarly’s parent company, Superhuman, has pulled the plug on its Expert Review feature after writers discovered that the AI was generating suggestions supposedly “inspired by” their published work, without their knowledge or consent. The feature, which launched back in August, used third-party LLMs to surface writing suggestions styled after influential writers and experts. The problem? Those experts had no idea their work was being used this way. Did Grammarly actually ask anyone? No, Grammarly did not obtain permission from the people whose likenesses were used as expert references. While other AI companies also scrape data from online libraries and websites…

OnePlus could soon launch a budget phone that could seriously endanger the so-called feature-packed mid-ranger from other brands. The company has already kicked off the handset’s teaser campaign in India, dropping cryptic visuals of a silhouette smartphone, alongside a tagline that reads “Entering the Nord era soon.” The handset, purported to be Nord 6, could put other mid-rangers to shame, or at least that is what the leaked specifications suggest. Before we talk about the hardware upgrades, it’s important to note that the Nord 6 is believed to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Turbo 6, which is available…

Meta’s Facebook and Instagram platforms, TikTok, and YouTube are an integral part of marketers’ strategies this year (again), but how exactly will they know whether they’re successful on those platforms? Engagement, impressions and sales will be the top performance metrics marketers will be looking at in 2025. That’s according to a Digiday+ Research survey of 150 marketer professionals conducted in Q1 of this year. Digiday’s survey found that the top three social platforms among marketers this year are Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok (yes, I know that’s four — stay with me). Instagram is the No. 1 social platform for…

Before Samsung could send out the official press release, the internet seems to have ripped open the Galaxy A57 5G’s box, revealing the colors and design of the handset ahead of its official launch (via SamMobile).  Unboxing videos for the Galaxy A57 5G, along with those for the Galaxy A37 5G, have been uploaded to TikTok (by Sawitri Kulwarissaranan). The first thing shown in the videos is the minimalist retail boxes for the smartphones, each with the phone’s name. The Galaxy A57 could be a cool phone, quite literally This could be a key upgrade for dispersing heat, especially during…

For emerging brands, launching in big-box retail is often the ultimate distribution goal. But launching in thousands of Walmart or Target doors at once also comes with expensive operational challenges. In fact, some brands are saying no when these retailers come knocking, choosing to focus on growing more sustainably, and at their own pace, given the current economic and fundraising environment. Not only do these big launches come with additional manufacturing and marketing costs, but they can also impact a small brand’s entire supply chain. For many brands, preparing to launch into Target and Walmart is a years-long process. They…

Samsung has a straightforward message if you are worried about the Galaxy S26 Ultra screen looking a little dim. It’s the price you pay for privacy. The company confirmed that its new Privacy Display technology can cause some variation in brightness when you view the phone from certain angles. But it also insists that in normal use, you’ll probably never notice the difference. The statement arrived after tests from multiple outlets including Tech Radar showed the S26 Ultra display slightly underperforming the Galaxy S25 Ultra in both brightness and color density when tilted. Samsung now explicitly links that dip to…

We’ve all been there — thumbs mid-air, staring at a suggested word that somehow nailed what we were trying to say. So we tap it. Obviously. But a new study suggests those little taps might be doing more than saving us a few seconds. Research out of Cornell Tech, published this week in Science Advances, found that AI-powered autocomplete suggestions don’t just change how you write — they nudge how you actually think. And you won’t even notice it happening. What did the research actually find? Researchers ran two large-scale experiments with over 2,500 participants, asking them to write short…
