Samsung is cooking – according to @Jukanlosreve, who is closely following the semiconductor industry, the Exynos 2600 will deliver massive GPU and NPU performance improvements. It will be enough to beat Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Apple’s A19 Pro by pretty solid margins, apparently. And if that is true, then the Exynos 2600 could feature on all Galaxy S26 models, not just the base S26 as initially rumored. At least that is what leakster Ice Universe is hearing from his sources. However, that doesn’t mean the Snapdragon is out – there will be regional...

The Powerbeats Fit are the successor to 2021’s Beats Fit Pro. They are the latest true wireless earbuds from the Apple-owned Beats by Dr. Dre brand, and part of the company's Powerbeats lineup, which also features the Powerbeats Pro 2 that we looked at earlier this year. Much like the Powerbeats Pro 2, the Powerbeats Fit are focused entirely on providing optimal fit and peace of mind when used during workouts. While they lack the overt loop design of the Pros, they do have integrated wingtips to keep them securely tucked in your ears. The Powerbeats Fit are built on Apple’s older H1...
If you are looking to buy one of the new iPhones (or you already got one), you can’t have missed reports that the two Pro models are prone to scratching – apparently, it has something to do with how their aluminum chassis was anodized. And while the vanilla iPhone 17 is harder to scratch, it’s not immune either. The iPhone Air turned out to be pretty tough (it’s the only new model to use titanium), you still may want to protect your investment. That means picking out a case for your new iPhone – we picked out some of the highest rated options and listed them below. Note that most of these...
