According to a new report from the always-in-the-know regarding Apple products Mark Gurman, Apple has canceled development of a pair of AR glasses. These would have paired to Macs, and not worked standalone like the Vision Pro headset. The company allegedly shuttered the project this week. The device would have looked like normal glasses but with built-in projectors that would display information, images, and video in the field of view for each eye. Interestingly, Apple worked on including lenses that changed their tint depending on what the user is doing, basically like a status...
Smaller (not small, but smaller) flagships seem to be undergoing some sort of resurgence in China these days, with vivo leading the fray with its X200 Pro mini, which was unveiled alongside the X200 and X200 Pro back in October. While the other two have since made it to international markets, the mini has stayed in China - but not for long, if a new rumor is to be believed. The vivo X200 Pro mini is now allegedly headed to India, where it should arrive "by" the second quarter, whatever that means. The second quarter is April to June, by the way. The vivo X200 Pro mini has a...
WhatsApp is trying to compete with Google Calendar and the likes, by working on supporting events in one-on-one chats. This is now live for some beta testers using the latest WhatsApp beta version from the Google Play Store.

So, it allows you to plan meetings, set reminders for events, and coordinate personal commitments without the need for another...
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is easily the go-to compact Android phone to get. Yes, you can find small phones with better camera systems - Xiaomi's 15 and vivo's X200 Pro mini come to mind - but those aren't as readily available and we'd argue that they won't be to everyone's liking. After years of dominating the smartphone market, Samsung feels comfortable to users, an advantage it shares only with the iPhone, which will make the Galaxy S25 an easy choice for the person looking for a new compact Android flagship. There are no surprises in the retail package. The Galaxy S25 ships with a...

With the Samsung Galaxy S25 series out and about without any trace of Exynos 2500, some were quick to assume that we won't be getting an Exynos-powered Samsung flagship this year.

In an earnings call aimed at investors, the Samsung System LSI department shared some info regarding the Exynos 2500. The report says the Korean tech giant is working on refining the flagship SoC and wants to "secure design wins for mobile models scheduled for release in H2...
