Samsung says the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable

TL;DR Samsung has claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be “the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet.” It’s worth noting that the OPPO Find N5 and vivo X Fold 3 are the current thin and light champions, respectively. Samsung teased the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last week, hinting at an Ultra-level experience. Now, the company has made some bold claims about its upcoming foldable phone. Samsung claimed in a blog post that its latest Galaxy Z series devices could outdo other foldables: The

It’s time for OnePlus tablets to copy the iPad

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I like the OnePlus Pad 3 — in fact, it might be my favorite Android tablet right now. It’s big and powerful, yet light enough and slim enough for life on the go. There’s just one problem: It costs $700. The series didn’t always cost that much, but it does now, and there’s no good way around that. There’s also no good way to recommend another OnePlus tablet to someone who can’t afford the Pad 3, because OnePlus has a habit of retiring its older slates as soon as a

Android 16 now lets you customize keyboard shortcuts — Here’s how it works

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 adds the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts. This feature first went live in Android 16 Beta 2. While you can’t assign custom key combinations to every available shortcut, you can customize many of them. Update, June 10, 2025 (2:24 PM ET): Google announced today that it is launching custom keyboard shortcuts in Android so you can “create your own combination of hotkeys.” This feature is already available in Android 16 for the Pixel Tab

Foldables are going to miss out on this major Android 16 multitasking feature

TL;DR Foldables like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold won’t support on-device windowing in Android 16. Only tablets will have the option of floating app windows, while phones with Desktop Mode will need an external display. Desktop Mode support is optional for OEMs building phones and foldables. If you were still hoping that Android 16 might finally let you run apps in floating windows on your foldable, you might want to temper those expectations. Despite the larger screens on foldables like the Pixel 9

Google experiments with ditching the Favorites tab in the Phone app for a simpler layout

TL;DR Google is testing the removal of the Favorites tab in the Phone app. Favorite contacts appear as a horizontal row at the top of the Recents tab in the new layout. The frequent contacts section no longer has a place in this redesign. Google is testing a significant change to its dialer app, and it could mark the end of a familiar tab. On at least some Pixel 8 Pro devices running version 178.0.765584175-publicbeta of the Google Phone app, the standalone Favorites tab has been removed. Ins

iOS 26’s Photos app re-adds the tab bar, a major design reversal

Apple’s Photos app underwent major changes last year in iOS 18. But this year in iOS 26, Photos has reversed course on the single biggest aspect of that overhaul: the tab bar is back. iOS 18 removed Photos’ tab bar, but iOS 26 brings it back iOS 26 brings redesigns to many Apple apps, such as the new, simplified Camera interface. For some users, major iPhone design changes are more scary than exciting. And the most recent evidence they might use is iOS 18’s Photos overhaul. Apple’s Photos ap

Apple reveals new iOS 26 features and its Liquid Glass redesign at WWDC 2025

Every year, iOS is one of the star attractions of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote. It's our first official look at new features and other changes that are coming to iPhones in the fall. The 2025 WWDC keynote was no exception, and the most immediate change is to the iOS naming system.

Can Scale AI and Alexandr Wang reignite Meta’s AI efforts?

Meta is reportedly investing nearly $15 billion in the data-labeling firm Scale AI and taking a 49% stake in the startup, while also bringing on CEO Alexandr Wang to help lead a new “superintelligence” lab within the company. The deal is reminiscent of Meta’s previous large and risky bets, such as its $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp and its $1 billion Instagram purchase. At the time those mergers closed, many people suggested Meta had grossly overpaid for the platforms — and today’s discour

Best Tested Portable Air Conditioners for 2025

Having central air is nice, but not every living space comes with that luxury. Sure, you could install something like a window air unit, but that can be a hassle, and you need to make sure your windows are suited for the job. Thankfully, there are also portable air conditioner units. With one of these, you can get your desired temperature without having to install a permanent unit, and they can be much more affordable than central air. You can move them around the house if needed, too. Along wit

The CRPG Renaissance, Part 3: TSR Is Dead

“How do you make a small fortune in tabletop gaming?” runs an old joke. The punchline, of course, is that you come to that market with a large one. The tabletop truly is a brutally challenging place to try to earn money, one which you have to be either wildly deluded or unbelievably passionate to even contemplate entering. Nevertheless, people have been making a go of it there for quite some decades by now. We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that love rather than mental illnes

20 years working on the same software product

I released version 1 of my table seating planning software, PerfectTablePlan, in February 2005. 20 years ago this month. It was a different world. A world of Windows, shareware and CDs. A lot has changed since then, but PerfectTablePlan is now at version 7 and still going strong.

MLB is testing robotic umpires in Spring Training, eyes 2026 implementation

Forward-looking: Major League Baseball is testing a computerized system for calling balls and strikes during spring training exhibition games. This Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS), which has been in development for four years in the minor leagues, could aid MLB home plate umpires as early as 2026. The ABS uses a network of cameras installed in stadiums to track each pitch and determine whether it crosses home plate within the strike zone. The current iteration uses Hawk-Eye pose-tracking cam

New leak suggests the iPhone Fold could take inspiration from the Pixel Fold

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR Apple’s upcoming book-style foldable phone will apparently have an outer screen that’s “shorter and fatter” than the OPPO Find N. It’s also believed that the inner screen “unfolds like an iPad.” There could be a big difference in size between the inner and outer screens compared to other foldables. Apple has been working on foldable phones for several years now, but we recently heard purported details about a book-style Apple foldable. Now, it looks lik

Oppo's new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I've seen - and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suit

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

Finally, a Windows 11 tablet I'd recommend to both business and professional users

ZDNET's key takeaways The DT Research tablet is built as rugged as it gets, with IP65, MIL-STD-810H, and MIL-STD-461G certifications. The choice of Intel Core i5 and i7 processors offers flexibility when buying the system. The tablet is big and rather chunky, far larger than a traditional iPad. View now at CDW Let's face it: Your average laptop or tablet is a pretty fragile piece of technology. One accidental drop, and more often than not, something critical -- usually the display -- decides

Running Pong in 240 Browser Tabs Finally a use for my unclosed tabs Feb 20, 2025 What do you do with your unclosed browser tabs? I find that they take up a lot of screen space.

Sweden Investigates New Cable Break Under Baltic Sea

The European Union vowed on Friday to increase security in the Baltic Sea as the Swedish authorities said they were investigating a new cable break, the latest example of damage to underwater infrastructure in the region. The European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, said it would take new steps to prevent and detect threats to submarine cables, which carry internet traffic and transmit electricity. The severing of several undersea cables in the Baltic Sea in recent months has raised conc
