Samsung includes a built-in feature called Edge Panel on all Galaxy devices, offering a customizable shortcut bar accessible by swiping from the screen's edge. It provides seven panel types—Apps, People, Tasks, Weather, Tools, Clipboard, and Reminder—that users can enable and arrange from the Display settings menu. Despite being standard on every Galaxy phone, many owners are unaware of it or have stopped using it.
Sony's DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5 typically lasts only 6 to 12 hours on a single charge, with the exact duration depending on how heavily a game uses features like the light bar, speaker, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. The premium DualSense Edge fares even worse, lasting just 5 to 10 hours because its 1,050mAh battery is smaller than the standard pad's 1,560mAh cell to make room for extra hardware like rear paddles and swappable stick modules.
Segway has unveiled the Navimow H5 Pro, a robotic lawn mower featuring a trapdoor mechanism designed to trim grass evenly right up to the edges of a lawn. The design aims to solve a common weakness of robomowers, which often leave uneven strips of grass near borders and obstacles.
New robotic lawn mowers featuring dedicated arms for trimming edges have launched, but restrictions on Chinese robotics imports mean American consumers likely won't get access anytime soon. These next-generation mowers solve a longstanding gap in robotic lawn care by handling edges and borders that current robomowers typically miss.
A CNET reviewer says the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has become their favorite phone to use daily, citing its slim 4.5mm unfolded profile, 9.7mm folded thickness, and light 201-gram weight. The device lacks a telephoto camera and has an average 4,800-mAh battery, but its compact form factor and versatile display have made it stand out compared to past innovative designs like the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air.
Motorola showed off a limited-edition Razr foldable at IFA Berlin featuring 35 hand-set Swarovski crystals, a 32-facet crystal hinge, and a black meteorite finish, priced at 1,000 euros (about $1,159) versus $800 for the standard model. The company also launched the Edge 70 Plus and Edge 70 Plus Neo, thicker but longer-lasting siblings to the ultra-thin Edge 70, with 6,500-mAh and 7,000-mAh batteries respectively and differing camera setups.
An Android Authority writer describes switching from Samsung's built-in Edge Panels to a free third-party app called Panels, which adds a customizable sidebar launcher accessible via a swipe from the screen's edge. The sidebar includes three swipeable sections for apps, shortcuts like contacts and quick settings, and interactive widgets, with the option to add more pages as needed.
Microsoft has updated its Edge documentation to formally list which Linux distributions are officially supported, including Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, openSUSE 15.5+, and Fedora Linux 39+ on 64-bit systems. Edge has run on Linux for years unofficially, but this marks the first formal support list, arriving roughly seven years after Google published a similar list for Chrome.
Narwal debuted the Freo 20 Edge at IFA 2026, a $799.99 robot vacuum that keeps the 31,000Pa suction and FlowWash track-mopping system from its pricier $1,099.99 Freo 20 sibling. To hit the lower price, Narwal swapped the flagship's dual RGB cameras and 300-plus object recognition for hidden dToF LiDAR and structured-light sensing that still identifies over 150 object types. Narwal also introduced the lightweight V50 Cube and new flagship wet-and-dry vacuum models at the same event.
A security-conscious writer outlines a personal 'threat modeling' approach to web browsing, contrasting unmodified browsers like Chrome and Edge—which allow ads, trackers, and GenAI features by default—with a hardened Firefox configuration used as their daily driver. The setup blocks intrusive scripts, cookies, and third-party content on most sites while carving out exceptions for work tools like Google Workspace.
Security firm Socket Inc. identified 19 malicious browser extensions for Chrome and Edge that operated for years before being caught. The most popular, a right-click/OCR utility, was installed by 80,000 combined users and secretly harvested cryptocurrency wallet data after receiving malicious updates roughly six months ago.
An analysis of application security infrastructure finds that CDNs, WAFs, bot management, and identity systems each examine only isolated aspects of a session, leaving gaps that attackers exploit. By routing traffic through residential IPs or commercial VPNs and pairing valid credentials with convincing device fingerprints, malicious actors can pass through multiple defensive layers undetected.
