Why does this massive Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak not mention the S Pen at all?

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Z Fold phones have supported its S Pen stylus in the past, even though the foldables could not internally store the pen. With the upcoming Fold 7, we’ve been hearing rumors of a new approach to the S Pen in general, though sources have disagreed on specifics. A last-minute leak of Fold 7 launch materials appears to make no mention of the S Pen, raising doubts about support. We’ve got less than a day to go before Samsung executives take the

‘The Institute’ Is a Solid Stephen King Adaptation

Stephen King is easily the most-adapted horror author; his books are so popular, many of the biggest ones have been adapted multiple times. Right now, there’s both a Carrie series and a feature take on The Stand in the works, and Edgar Wright’s The Running Man just dropped its first trailer. With the same titles seemingly caught in Hollywood’s revolving door, it can be tempting to forget King is still regularly publishing new stories. That’s one reason The Institute is such an intriguing new ar

Hate how big the OnePlus Watch 3 is? I tried the smaller 43mm version, and it’s almost perfect

Joe Maring / Android Authority Since its launch earlier this year, the OnePlus Watch 3 has only been available in a single (and large) 46mm case size. While I love the big, bulky design, that’s not true for everyone, and understandably so. Seemingly in direct response to that, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus Watch (43mm). The OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) is exactly what the name suggests: a repackaging of the OnePlus Watch 3, but in a smaller 43mm-sized case. If you like the specs and features of t

Jack Dorsey’s New Private Messenger App Doesn’t Need an Internet Connection

What has Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter (now X) been up to lately? Among other things, creating experimental little projects, like a new private messenger that doesn’t need the internet to function.

The service sounds vaguely like Amazon’s Sidewalk project (which similarly used mesh networks to power IoT devices),
