      You receive a sharp 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and brightness of up to 2,600 nits.

      The S25 Ultra is driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, one of the fastest Android chipsets available.

      I wish Chrome and Safari could multitask like Opera’s enhanced split-screen mode

      One window, four tabs, and smarter layouts come to Opera

      What’s happened? Whenever I attempt to compare items, write while researching, or keep a video open while browsing, I find myself switching between windows in Chrome or Safari. Opera has just addressed this with a revamped built-in split-screen feature, truly transforming it into a multitasking tool in a single browser window. Opera’s split-screen mode can now handle up to four tabs at the same time.

      You might be seeing fewer "Air-style" phones shortly, thanks to the iPhone Air disappointment

      It appears that “thin and light” isn’t always a crowd favorite.

      What’s happened? The super-slim iPhone Air was launched in 2025 amid much excitement, but demand turned out to be low. Now competing brands are quietly pulling back from their own thin-phone initiatives. Reports from Asia indicate that major Chinese manufacturers have halted or canceled their planned "Air-style" models following Apple’s results. Simultaneously, Samsung is reportedly scrapping the ultra-slim S26 Edge variant, concluding that the thin-phone trend is no longer profitable. Several Chinese companies, including major names like Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo, have abandoned ultra-slim phone projects due to disappointing Air sales.

      I discovered how to turn an iPhone camera annoyance into a lifesaver for your photos

      Not a fan of Live Photos? That's understandable. How about using it as a backup method for perfect shots?

      A decade ago, Apple introduced Live Photos on the iPhone, which includes a short clip capturing 1.5 seconds before and after clicking the shutter. You can even apply looping, bouncing, and long exposure effects to these live photos. While that sounds impressive, it has also become a hassle for many photographers. For instance, it’s enabled by default and reactivates once you restart the camera app, regardless of whether you disabled it in the viewfinder. The only way to permanently deactivate it is through the settings menu.
