How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter. I thought it would be a good idea to compare this lens to the Galaxy S23 Ultr

Marvel Just Added a *Fourth* Movie to Its 2028 Plans

Marvel’s been having a pretty quiet time at the box office as of late, as it prepares to head into a new Avengers duology to cap off its latest, up-and-down era in a pretty subdued manner. 2025 may have 3 MCU movies to its name (and a host of TV projects), but after Fantastic Four: First Steps, just four movies will release across 2026 and 2027. But once the dust settles on Secret Wars? Marvel Studios is cranking things back up. Variety reports that Disney has now dated a fourth untitled Marvel

Elon Musk responds to report that xAI is burning through $1 billion a month

In brief: Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is burning through cash at an astounding rate. According to a new report, the company expects to spend at least $13 billion throughout all of 2025, equivalent to just over $1 billion every month. Musk, of course, has called the report "nonsense." Citing the usual anonymous people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg writes that the $500 million that xAI will earn this year looks positively tiny next to the $13 billion it plans to spend.

The Mac Mini blew away the computing world when it debuted in 2005 — a Mac desktop computer with all of the processing power and cool features of its larger siblings, but at a fraction of the size. In a time when huge desktop towers were still common, the Mac Mini showed that bigger most definitely does not always mean better. See at Amazon Fast forward 20 years, and the Mac Mini is doing it all over again. The most recent redesign of the Mini dropped last year, and it’s somehow smaller and ev

The Moto G Stylus (2025) is finally a budget Motorola phone for power users

Moto G Stylus (2025) The Moto G Stylus (2025) feels like Motorola pulled together almost everything that's worked about its best budget phones and put it into one device. It charges quickly, performs well, and comes with a built-in stylus that's way easier than drawing with a fingertip. I'm begging for longer update support, but otherwise, this is a great cheap Android phone. Motorola’s budget lineup has been through some tricky evolutions over the years.
