I tested Oppo's Find N5 for a week - here's why it's a near-perfect foldable phone

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.

I torture-tested this Windows 11 tablet that's built to thrive where others fail

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

10 key reasons AI went mainstream overnight - and what happens next

Your next iPhone may get a significant price increase - this analyst thinks it's inevitable

Jason Hiner/ZDNET The latest US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have put Apple at a bit of a crossroads. With multiple tariffs impacting countries worldwide, including a 10% charge on all imports from China, electronics makers like Apple will soon have to decide if they'll take the brunt of the damage or redirect it to end consumers by increasing the price of goods.

AI killed the tech interview. Now what?

How can we do better interviews in the age of AI Absolutely nobody likes the hiring process. Not the managers hiring, not the recruitment people, and certainly not the candidates. Tech interviews are one of the worst parts of the process and are pretty much universally hated by the people taking them. We’ve all heard stories of people being asked comp sci questions about O(n) efficiency, only to connect APIs with basic middleware in their day job. I think the image below pretty much sums it up

Metal Detectorist Discovers Potential 2,000-Year-Old Divination Spoon

If you had to imagine an object that could tell the future, you’d probably envision a crystal ball or a deck of Tarot cards—not a utensil. Nevertheless, experts on the Isle of Man have revealed an artifact that might be exactly that: a divination spoon. A metal detectorist has unearthed an ancient bronze spoon that Iron Age people may have used to forecast the future approximately 2,000 years ago. While this is the 28th potential “divination spoon” known to scholars worldwide, it’s the first to

10 Years Later, The Order: 1886 Is Still Stupid, Compelling, and Kinda Fun

Since 2006, PlayStation has prided itself on big, cinematic first-party titles that justify your console purchase, and when they hit, they hit. Over the years, several internal studios have delivered blockbuster franchises like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and The Last of Us. But spare a thought for the ones that didn’t make the cut: for whatever reason, they just didn’t resonate or hit desired benchmarks, and now remain as odd one-offs with a niche fanbase that loves it for what it was and

Apple's Lower-Priced iPhone 16E Could Be Its Biggest Opportunity of 2025

Apple's $599 iPhone 16E is the biggest refresh ever for the company's lower-cost phone, formerly called the iPhone SE, and it couldn't arrive at a better time. With generative AI requiring beefier specs, and US tariffs on imports from China possibly bringing an increase in costs, Apple's entry-level iPhone might provide enough new features to be worth the upgrade from an earlier iPhone SE. But those prior iPhone SE owners will be facing a substantial price hike, with the iPhone 16E costing $170

I’m Not Convinced Ethical Generative AI Currently Exists

Are there generative AI tools I can use that are perhaps slightly more ethical than others? —Better Choices No, I don't think any one generative AI tool from the major players is more ethical than any other. Here’s why. For me, the ethics of generative AI use can be broken down to issues with how the models are developed—specifically, how the data used to train them was accessed—as well as ongoing concerns about their environmental impact.
