Another Galaxy S26 Ultra leak pours cold water on a battery upgrade

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Another leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have a 5,000mAh battery. This comes after a reliable outlet made the same claim earlier this month. That means Samsung’s Ultra phone will have the same battery capacity for the seventh time. We’ve seen many flagship Android phones with huge batteries this year, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra retains a 5,000mAh battery.

Americans Are Obsessed With Watching Short Video Dramas From China

wired.com Zeyi Yang 2026-01-10 21:00:00

My partner recently confessed something to me about his screen-time habits: When he’s giggling at his phone, he’s often watching short English-language soap operas that have begun showing up on his social feeds. The plots are basic, the acting is exaggerated, and the performers are stereotypically good-looking, but the constant twists and turns keep him spellbound and wanting more.

Electric cars produce far less brake dust pollution than combustion-engine cars

For decades, exhaust emissions have been the focus of city-air cleaning initiatives, but a new wave of research indicates that the real story goes far beyond the muffler.
