C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is reportedly developing affordable smart glasses inspired by Ray-Ban Meta. The glasses may include a camera, speakers, and a microphone, but no display. Set for a late 2026 debut, these smart glasses are separate from Samsung’s XR headset plans. Smart glasses remain a particularly niche genre of wearable technology, even in mid-2025, but they are steadily growing in popularity.

Philips Hue ‘Bridge Pro’ leaks with ‘more capacity,’ turns lights into motion sensors

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-11-21 00:56:54

Philips Hue appears to be preparing a new “Bridge Pro” setup that turns your smart lights into motion sensors, while also supporting more devices. The existing Philips Hue bridge is a core part of any Hue setup. The bridge connects to your network and communicates with each product, and is part of the reason Hue tends to be more stable than hub-less smart home offerings. But the hardware hasn’t been updated in a while, and a common complaint is that it can only support 50 devices at a time. Th

Weigh yourself at the same time: To get a consistent reading when using any scale, it's important to weigh yourself first thing in the morning before you've drunk or eaten anything. "You should weigh yourself without clothes, or minimal clothing, and if you do so, try to wear the same clothing each time you weigh yourself," said Stella Lucia Volpe, professor and head of the Department of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise at Virginia Tech.

Sony built a loyal niche of fans who buy its Xperia phones, but the market beyond them doesn’t pick up on the phones with as much enthusiasm.
