The Ulefone Armor 34 Pro has a projector, night vision, and a 25,500mAh battery

Ulefone If you thought rugged phones were all the same, Ulefone’s new Armor 34 Pro is out to prove otherwise. Launching with an Amazon Prime Day deal of $100 off, this device packs not just durability but an industry-first feature: a built-in autofocus projector. Imagine camping under the stars and projecting a 100-inch image directly from your phone. With 150 lumens of brightness, 480P resolution, and autofocus for easy setup, the Armor 34 Pro’s projector works anywhere, whether you’re a fire

iPhone 17e said to launch next spring, with identical display to 16e

A new supply-chain report suggests that the iPhone 17e will launch next spring, which is in line with previous reporting. It doesn’t sound like the upcoming model will be a major update, with today’s report indicating that it will use the exact same display as the iPhone 16e … This display was itself repurposed from the iPhone 14. One big question when Apple replaced the iPhone SE with the iPhone 16e was whether the new naming scheme pointed to an annual update. The SE had been updated at ran

What to expect from Samsung Unpacked tomorrow: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Watch 8 Series, more

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Three things are certain when July comes along: backyard barbecues, late-night fireworks, and Samsung Unpacked. Just last month, Samsung confirmed that the next Unpacked event will take place on Wednesday, July 9, in Brooklyn, New York. This follows the host cities of Paris, France, and Seoul, South Korea, over the past two years -- with the company suggesting that it's chosen Brooklyn for its "bold ideas, creativity, and culture."

Why I recommend the $450 Google Pixel 9a over flagship phones that cost twice the price

ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 9a is the latest midrange phone from the company and retails for $499. It features a new Tensor G4 chip, helpful AI tools, an improved main camera, and the largest battery of any Pixel. You'll have to settle for some budget trade-offs, including the lack of a telephoto lens and slower charging speeds.

Why I recommend this OnePlus flagship phone over the S25 Ultra - especially at $120 off

ZDNET's key takeaways The OnePlus 13 is a snappy, nearly no-compromise phone that typically starts at $899. A Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with a 6,000mAh battery and 80W fast charging, is a recipe for endurance success. IP69 is almost excessive, but you'll appreciate it when least expected.

I'm Testing the Nothing Phone 3 and There's One Surprise Feature I Love So Far

I've been testing the Nothing Phone 3 since it was unveiled at an event in London last week. I still like the quirky design, with its transparent back and the Glyph Matrix rear display. It's too early for a full verdict on its processor performance or battery life, but there is one stand-out feature I've noticed that I particularly wanted to highlight. The camera's macro mode. Putting the Nothing Phone 3's macro mode to work. Andrew Lanxon/CNET It's a niche feature to focus on, especially as N

Best Noise-Canceling Headphones for Music and More in 2025

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2: Bowers & Wilkins released the PX7 S2 headphones in 2022 with some significant improvements over the first-generation version.That was followed by a slightly upgraded version, the PX7 S2e ($400), with the "e" standing for evolved. The audio quality has been slightly upgraded thanks to improved digital processing (the headphones have been retuned), which we assume involves an upgraded chip. You may see this model nicely discounted because Bowers & Wilkins has released the

Nothing Phone (3) Review: The Designer Phone

I like staring at the Nothing Phone (3). It isn't inherently better than comparably priced smartphones, but it's visually distinct, and let's be honest, a little weird. But weird is good. Phones are fantastic these days, whether you spend $300 or $1,300. When they can all generally do what we expect, aesthetics come to the forefront. From the red recording light on the back of this $799 Android phone to the quirky pedometer widget that tracks your steps via a stick figure, the Phone (3) feels f

Nothing Phone (3) review

Carl Pei led electronics manufacturer OnePlus from being a scrappy brand for tech enthusiasts offering affordable phones to one that produces multiple lines of devices, including flagship phones that challenge Samsung and Apple. He is running a similar playbook with Nothing, a five-year-old, venture-backed hardware startup that just launched its most ambitious device, the Phone (3), earlier this month. The phone, priced at $799, is intended to compete with devices from Samsung and Apple. While

My Android Auto was having trouble connecting until I did this one thing

Google / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A few months ago, I bought into the Jeep cult. One bit of fanciness with this vehicle is its ability to connect to Android Auto. I was excited because I'd never owned a car that could connect to my Android phone and actually make use of it. Of course, the biggest reason I wanted to use Android Auto was for the Spotify connection. My previous auto would allow me to connect my phone, but I had to control the music from the phone itself, which I wouldn't do w

Bose QuietComfort Headphones Drop Nearly 50% Off With Limited Edition Color for Amazon Prime Day Deal

Whether you’re working out or out to work, music and podcasts really help things along nicely. Being able to zone out or focus up is the best way to make sure you get whatever you need done, done. You don’t want to have to deal with the rest of the world, you want to lose yourself in the music and just enjoy what you’re doing, and the best way to do that is with a pair of really good headphones. See at Amazon While there are a lot of options out there, some of the best around come from Bose. J

Amazon Is Going All In, The Galaxy S25 Ultra Is Nearly Twice as Cheap as on Samsung’s Official Site

Apple may be the go-to brand on Prime Day with Amazon discounting everything (except the iPhone 16) but in smartphones, there’s yet another giant worth noting—Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Released back in January, the S25 Ultra is the definition of Android top-shelf and until today, it’s hung tough at its MSRP on Samsung’s home page. But on Prime Day, Amazon is coming huge for Prime members, offering a massive $350 instant discount on this premium device: That brings the price down to just $949 fo

I’ve reviewed smartphones for 10 years. These are the 5 Android phones I would buy on Prime Day

Joe Maring / Android Authority Amazon Prime Day is officially upon us, and just like every year, that means there’s a mountain of deals to sift through, including seemingly endless discounts on Android phones. Some of them are great, others are just fine, and there are some you should avoid altogether. As you might imagine, this can make finding the best Android phone deals a pain in the butt.

iPhone 17 Air to get a ‘barely blue’ color option, suggests leaker

A leaker with a mixed track record has suggested that the “main” color option for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air will be a “very light” blue. They go on to say that the color will be so faint that it will simply appear to be white in some lights. This seems reminiscent of “barely blue” colors we’ve seen from Apple before … Fixed focus digital posted on Weibo: Blue is probably the main color of iPhone 17 Air this time. It is different from all the blue colors released by Apple in the past. The blu

Don't Buy a New iPhone Right Now. Here's Why You Should Wait

If you're ready to upgrade your iPhone, you might want to wait just a bit longer. Apple tends to unveil its new phones in September, as it did last year with the iPhone 16 lineup. It's expected to release the iPhone 17 series at the same time this year. So, if you can wait a couple more months, you'll either score the latest device or get a discount on previous models.

The OnePlus Nord 5's Marble Design Is My Favorite Thing About This Phone

It's a little shallow that my favorite thing about the OnePlus Nord 5 -- and its cheaper sibling the Nord CE5 -- is the design on the back of the phone. But in a world where most budget-focused phones are identical gray slabs, it's refreshing to see something a bit different. The back of the Nord 5 has an unusual design that looks like marble. I don't know how OnePlus has done it, but the way that the material catches the light makes it look deeply three dimensional. Running your finger across

A Samsung Tri-Fold Phone Could Be Coming, According to a Leak

While Samsung has been showing off mobile display concepts with three screens at trade events like CES for several years, it might finally be bringing one to market if a leaked UI animation is any indicator. An animated image from a software build of One UI 8 appears to show what some are dubbing a "Galaxy G Fold" device with three display panels, as reported by Android Authority last week. The screens would be capable of displaying different information or working in unison as one large displa

Charles Babbage and deciphering codes (1864)

Charles Babbage wrote an autobiography Passages from the Life of a Philosopher which was published in London in 1864 . In our biography of Babbage we have quoted several passages from the book which tell us about his life and the analytical engine. Here we quote from Chapter XVIII of the book where Babbage writes about deciphering. What we present here is only an extract. In fact we omit a more technical part which describes the considerable effort that he had put in constructing dictionaries wi

New iPhone 17 Pro renders highlight aluminum design, repositioned Apple logo

A new image from Apple leaker Majin Bu provides a new look at the repositioned Apple logo on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. Last week we got our first look at what the new Apple logo placement would look like, though this new image provides a much clearer picture. One of the less talked about design elements of the new iPhone 17 Pro design is the fact that Apple will be shifting to a two-tone design of sorts, with an all aluminum frame and camera bump. However, for wireless charging, MagSafe, and
