Rollable smartphone concepts have come and gone in the past few years, but we've yet to see an actual product using a rollable display (there are, however, rollable-screen laptops already). While the rollable smartphone concepts we've seen thus far have all rolled the screen out of the side, vivo has patented something else entirely - a rollable screen that becomes longer, not wider. The vivo rollable device pictured in the patent application becomes taller as you roll out the screen, which is definitely interesting to see, yet we can't help but wonder what the actual use cases for...
The brand-new MacBook Neo is projected to be a hit in terms of sales and could turn out to be one of Apple’s most important laptops in recent memory. While its main claim to fame is the relatively affordable $599 base price ($499 for students), the Neo is also Apple’s most repairable laptop in a long time. YouTuber Phone Repair Guru performed a teardown of the Neo, and the results are fascinating. Apple opted for an easily repairable design with key components like the battery, speakers, trackpad, USB ports and display held in place only with screws and connectors. Virtually...

Yesterday we saw the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra subjected to a teardown on video, and today the same JerryRigEverything channel is back with its now-traditional 'durability test'. This shows how scratchy the glass is, what happens to the screen if direct fire is applied to it, and, of course, whether a phone bends. [#InlinePriceWidget,14320,1#] So if you're interested in finding out how the Galaxy S26 Ultra fares in all those areas, and some bonus ones, grab something to eat and/or drink, take a seat in a comfortable chair, and hit Play below. In case you couldn't watch the video...

Rates for the qualifying Apple In-App Purchase transactions under the App Store Small Business Program and Mini Apps Partner Program will also be lowered from 15% to 12%. Cupertino confirmed that the move was done following “discussions with the Chinese regulator”, which we assume is the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), which had previously considered a full-scale antitrust...
With the Galaxy S26 series launch behind its back, Samsung is turning its attention to the next generation of foldables. While work on those proceeds, details on the two battery cells for the Galaxy Z Flip8 have surfaced and they bring bad news for anyone hoping for an upgrade.
