What they found was that the real-world carbon dioxide emissions of PHEVs were 4.9 times higher than what they’re supposed to emit on paper, mostly because of manufacturers’ and testers’ flawed assumption on the share of the vehicles’ electric driving…

It’s added new Photographic Styles to the mix, reworked the camera app to give it a more straightforward interface, and finally upgraded its camera hardware with a significantly improved 4x telephoto sensor.Unsurprisingly, it has me reaching for the iPhone camera more than ever before, and it’s making me wonder whether the Pixel 10…

Foxconn has established a joint venture with SZS or Shin Zu Shing, a hinge maker in Taiwan, to…

However, poor sales have reportedly led to Samsung halting production of the Galaxy S25 Edge and even its successor.Samsung released the Galaxy S25 Edge back in May 2025 as a new, thinner smartphone. While Samsung denied any claims that the phone was developed in response to the rumored iPhone Air, it was still one of the first phones to offer an ultra thin design. However, a new report has…
