Samsung is reportedly planning to add a fourth variant to its flagship Galaxy S line of smartphones, with a Galaxy S27 Pro being added to next year’s series. The word comes from Korean publication ETNews, which reckons the device – that’ll join a standard, Plus and Ultra version of the phone – will have a 6.47-inch display (likely billed as 6.5-inch), but will not have room for the S Pen stylus. It seems Samsung desires a more premium version of the phone but in a smaller package – a little like Apple with its standard, Plus, iPhone Pro and Pro…

“There’s an app for that” was the promise of the App Store from the very beginning. The app that will get your phone to do the thing you want it to? It’s just a few taps away. The tagline wasn’t strictly true — I’m still waiting for that one perfect grocery list app. Still, apps shaped the modern smartphone into what it is today. We spend all day, every day inside of apps — scrolling, listening, and tapping until we find what we want. But your next favorite app might just be one that you made yourself.If you weren’t familiar…

Whether you’re rocking one of the best gaming laptops or a full-fat tower PC, it’s all too easy to neglect the desk they sit on. Enter Herman Miller’s new gaming desk – a gorgeous, if not eye-wateringly expensive upgrade that will elevate any home setup. The company’s new Coyl standing desk is its first gaming desk designed fully in-house from the ground up, and its premium, pared-back Scandi aesthetic is a welcome change from the usual RGB strips and carbon-fibre stickers. Visually, the standout feature is a bright red coiled cable running from the desk to the power outlet. It’s…

Google announced a new YouTube Shorts Remix feature that lets users restyle clips or even insert themselves into other people’s videos using Gemini Omni. Now, at the bottom of a YouTube Short, when you click the remix icon, you’ll see an option to “reimagine” it. Here, you can prompt Gemini to turn a video into pixel art, an anime, or a found-footage horror film. But, beyond that, you can also alter the contents by, say, inflating heads, inserting background actors, dressing people in pirate costumes, or even putting yourself in the clip.Creators can enable or disable the ability to reimagine…

The selfie stick is a pretty simple invention, but the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P takes the same basic concept and throws everything but the kitchen sink at it. With a telescopic handle that also has a built-in tripod, you’ll never have to hand your phone over to a tourist and hope for the best again, while the detachable remote has its own 1.4in touchscreen and allows you to tilt and rotate the three-axis gimbal from afar. DJI’s drone know-how also comes in handy, with various stability modes for when you’re shooting handheld videos, while the Mimo app makes it possible…

Google’s AI-powered Search era apparently also extends to its ads. Now, when you search for a product, Google’s Gemini AI chatbot will surface relevant items and generate a “custom explainer” about why you should purchase a specific one.The update comes just one day after Google revealed a new Search box for larger, more conversational queries, along with a focus on AI-generated results. In an example shared by Google, someone searching for a “compact espresso pod machine” might see a Nespresso Vertuo Up under a “Sponsored Product” label, alongside an AI-generated description saying:For a quality machine, look for capsule compatibility and…

Hamilton is adding to its impressive list of Hollywood cameos and it doesn’t get much bigger than this – Steven Spielberg’s new sci-thriller Disclosure Day. If Hamilton had a IMDB page listing all the films its watches had appeared in, it would rival the biggest movie stars around – you’ve got Interstellar, Tenet, Dune, Men in Black, Oceans Eleven, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Oppenheimer, James Bond: Live and Let Die… The list goes on and on. In fact, Hamilton has appeared in over 500 movies and TV shows now, and this one adds serious weight to that number. Disclosure Day…

We’re about to find out if the systems designed to make deepfakes and AI-generated content easy to spot are actually up to snuff. SynthID and C2PA Content Credentials, two distinct technologies for invisibly tagging image, video, and audio files with information about their origins, are getting their biggest expansion to date, and with it, the opportunity to turn the tide against unlabeled AI fakery that’s deceiving people online.Yesterday during its I/O conference, Google announced that the ability to verify whether images carry SynthID markers — the invisible watermarking system that’s applied to content generated by Google AI models — is…

The iPad Pro is hardly a porker, but hold one up alongside the new Huawei MatePad Pro Max and Apple’s fanciest tablet starts to look a little podgy. At 4.7mm thick (not including the camera bump) and weighing just 499g the MatePad Pro Max is thinner and lighter than Apple’s M5-powered rectangle but still comes with a slightly larger OLED screen (albeit only by 0.2in). That display is squeezed between skinny 3.5mm bezels and Huawei hasn’t scrimped on the pixels, with a resolution of 3000×2000 and 1600 nits of brightness, so outdoor use shouldn’t be a problem, particularly if you…

Samsung’s next folding phone – the Galaxy Z Fold 8 – could finally be getting a few major upgrades where it counts. According to Greek publication TechManiacs, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 could pack a 5000mAh battery, up from the 4400mAh capacity Samsung’s recent Fold models have largely stuck with. The same leak also claims Samsung is finally bumping charging speeds up from 25W to 45W – a rumour we’ve heard before. The report also claims that the Fold 8 will slim down to around 4.1mm when unfolded, while weighing roughly 210g. That’d make it slightly thinner and lighter…

Apple TV is best known for its lineup of science fiction shows and feel-good sitcoms, but of late the streaming service has veered in a different direction. A pair of its current buzziest shows explore the world of OnlyFans creators and cam models, and they’re timed up near perfectly; just as one ends (Margo’s Got Money Troubles) another is set to begin (Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed). According to Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed creator and showrunner David J. Rosen, the timing is something of a coincidence, but also indicative of the current moment. “I think it’s in the air,” he says. “There’s just…

Not content with smartphones, Google is officially getting back into smart glasses – and this time it’s bringing Samsung, Gemini AI, and iPhone support along for the ride. At Google I/O 2026, the tech giant confirmed that the first Android XR intelligent eyewear products will launch later this year. Unlike the ill-fated Google Glass from more than a decade ago, these are far closer in concept to Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses – meaning cameras, microphones, speakers, and AI features built into frames you might actually want to wear in public. The first models are audio-focused smart glasses without built-in displays,…
