Phones with both a cooling fan and water resistance don’t exist, until now

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-17 05:27:10

OPPO TL;DR OPPO has announced the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China. These new phones have cooling fans and are water-resistant. The OPPO K13 Turbo series starts at ~$251 in China. We’ve seen a few gaming phones over the years with built-in cooling fans. Unfortunately, the need for a cooling fan vent means these phones aren’t water-resistant. Thankfully, OPPO’s latest phones buck this trend. OPPO announced the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China today, and both of these budget gaming ph

This will include new features specifically for the iPhone Fold as well as ensuring that iOS as we know it today is optimized for the new form factor. In the latest edition

Skygazers have a lot to look forward to over the next month. A couple of dueling meteor showers are gracing the skies later this month, and they will be joined by perhaps the most popular meteor shower of the year: the Perseids meteor shower. Perseids are known for their bright fireballs and plentiful meteors. The show started on July 17, and will run through Aug. 23. The reason the Perseids meteor shower is so popular is twofold. First, it takes place in the summer, so going outside and watch

Is your house power-starved? Why the extra juice might be worth the squeeze

zdnet.com Mike Lock 2026-01-17 16:00:15

BlackJack3D/Getty The hair dryer routinely trips the breaker and kills power to the second floor. The kitchen lights dim when you run the microwave. The air conditioner can only cool one room at a time on a sweltering night. You don't have adequate power in your house to support your daily needs; we've all been there. These examples might be nostalgic for some, but if you can relate in your current living situation, you might be stuck at a CORE level 1 power-constrained state. Beyond the inco

The Gear You Need to Keep Fit, Rested, and Balanced

Morpheus was big on the dire warnings about life as a human battery, but if he’d seen the benefits of juicing his Nokia 8110 with just 15 minutes of people power, he might have seen things from the machine’s point of view. This iF 2025 Gold Award–winning design is a brilliantly versatile 2,000-watt-hour battery—but with pedals. It can be configured as a pedal desk, recumbent rider, or classic exercise bike, and a one-hour spin session generates enough energy to fully charge your laptop. If you a

Life Without Screens: This Camp Is a Teen’s Worst Nightmare

Summer. For teens not at work, it’s hot, it’s boring, and it’s an ideal time to close the door and spend about every waking moment watching, playing, texting, streaming—anything but talking—on the phone. With almost half of teenagers in the US saying they’re online almost constantly, the adults in their lives are growing more desperate to drag them off. Families are establishing screen-free zones in their homes, states are banning phones in schools, and a new kind of summer camp has emerged: dig

Foldable phones are thin and light in 2025, so why are these brands bending the truth?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-17 18:00:19

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Twitter user has shown that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner than the HONOR Magic V5. It turns out both HONOR and OPPO measure their foldables without the protective inner screen film. A closer look at product pages also reveals that some brands don’t include these layers when weighing their foldables. HONOR launched the Magic V5 in China earlier this month, and the company claimed that the white version was the world’s thinnest foldable phone at 8.8mm. H

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Last year, I was emphatic that my time with Pixel phones was over because Google had announced it was planning to inject even more AI "goodness" into Android. I saw that as an opportunity to jump ship. My goal was to buy the Nothing Phone 3. Then, as fate would have it, Nothing CEO Carl Pei announced that his company was going all-in on AI, and the next Nothing Phone would leverage the technology in ways no other device had.

Andy Walker / Android Authority Features like split-screen mode, Quick Share, and various battery optimizations are more or less common knowledge amongst Android users. But Google’s OS has so many features, it’s easy for some to fly under the radar — especially since they can be buried deep within the settings. A lot of the features I use regularly aren’t talked about as much as they should be, partly due to the fact not everyone is aware that they even exist. I want to change that by sharing

If you can get 5G on your phone while at home, you should be able to get 5G internet at your house, right? Not exactly. 5G is no longer the shiny new thing, thanks to efforts from major carriers AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, but 5G home internet service isn't strictly available at the same addresses as 5G cellular service.

Make Your Own Backup System – Part 1: Strategy Before Scripts

Backup: Beyond the Simple Copy For as long as I can remember, backup is something that has been underestimated by far too many people. Between flawed techniques, "Schrödinger's backups" (i.e., never tested, thus both valid and invalid at the same time), and conceptual errors about what they are and how they work (RAID is not a backup!), too much data has been lost due to deficiencies in this area. Nowadays, backup is often an afterthought. Many rely entirely on "the cloud" without ever asking

I’ve been using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for a week, and I’ve run out of ways to say “It’s so nice.” It’s not essential, or life-changing; it’s nice. It’s an understatement, though. Samsung joins the likes of Honor and Oppo in making a folding phone that’s almost as thin as a regular phone, and it’s a trend with real benefits.
