Ahead of CES, today Samsung has unveiled the Freestyle+ projector, which is portable. It comes with a peak brightness of 430 ISO lumens, which isn't much - basically fine for a dark room but won't let you see a lot if there's ambient lighting around. That said, it is almost twice as bright as Samsung's previous generation, so there's that. The Freestyle+ has a 180-degree rotating design which supports projection at virtually any angle, including onto walls, ceilings, and even floors, without any additional accessories being required. It boasts a built-in 360-degree speaker, "tuned...

Motorola is launching two high-end smartphones in the near future: the X70 Air Pro in China, and the Signature globally. They are both powered by the recently announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, so forgive us for assuming they might actually end up being the same device sold under two different names in different markets (just like the X70 Air is the Edge 70). Today the X70 Air Pro has been certified for sale in China by TENAA, and the listing has confirmed the use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. The phone obviously supports 5G, and measures 162.1 x 76.4 x 7 mm, weighing 187g. Motorola...

After reviewing the latest and greatest in the industry for many years, it's somewhat difficult to get excited or be truly impressed by a smartphone. However, there are always those phones that just work for me for one reason or another. Xiaomi 15 Ultra Perhaps it's no surprise for my colleagues that I'm picking the current Xiaomi Ultra for yet another year. I chose this phone for my daily driver mainly due to its versatile camera hardware. It has all the focal lengths I need, and the 4.2x telephoto camera uses a large 200MP sensor that allows for further cropping without sacrificing...

Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra won't have many upgrades compared to its predecessor, but one of the rumored ones is the ability to make its screen invisible to anyone but you, the owner. And now this feature has actually been confirmed by One UI 8.5, the build that the S26 Ultra will be running when it launches. It's called Privacy Display and when you enable it, people around you won't be able to see what's on your screen. This will obviously be massively useful in public settings, especially on public transit. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's Privacy Display feature According to the...

The OnePlus Nord 5 was released in July, so you wouldn't necessarily expect its successor to show up anytime soon, but you might be wrong in making that assumption. That's because the Nord 6 has already been certified for sale by SIRIM in Malaysia, the GCF, and TDRA in the UAE. These certifications are a normal step in the development process, but usually occur within a few weeks, or a couple or so months, before a phone is actually unveiled. That makes us think the Nord 6 might arrive earlier in the year than its predecessor. Unfortunately, no specs for the Nord 6 have been leaked...
