The latest leaked renders of Samsung's Galaxy S26 Edge tell a neat little engineering story. Android Authority highlights measurements that show the tightrope walk of modern phone design. The S26 Edge is slimmer at its thinnest point, measuring 158.4 x 75.7 x 5.5mm compared to the S25 Edge's 158.2 x 75.6 x 5.8mm. Here is the kicker: the camera bump grows. Total thickness hits 10.8mm including the bump, up from the S25 Edge's 10mm.

When Google dropped its latest AI image editing feature, something unexpected happened. Millions of people suddenly started caring about AI image generation.

The tech industry is facing unprecedented antitrust scrutiny, with regulators worldwide launching investigations, imposing massive fines, and even floating breakups of major technology companies. Yet in Silicon Valley, the chatter says we might already be past the crest. That shift lines up with political developments that point to a more balanced regulatory environment in 2025. At the same time, the rapid rise of generative AI has pushed agencies to zero in on new M&A and alliances in the AI...

We're talking comprehensive marketing materials, detailed specs, and even pricing information for the entire Galaxy Tab S11 lineup. It's one of those leaks that's so thorough, you almost wonder if Samsung's marketing team accidentally hit "publish" on their press materials a week early.

The foldable phone market just got a lot more interesting. Samsung has unleashed what can only be described as an unprecedented pricing strategy, slashing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to directly challenge Google's newly announced Pixel 10 Pro Fold. This isn't just about cutting prices—it's Samsung making a bold statement that they won't let Google gain a foothold in their territory without a fight.

When I first picked up the tenth generation Google Pixel phone, I'll be honest—it felt a bit underwhelming. The Pixel 10 series looks so much like the Pixel 9 series that you might wonder if Google just phoned it in this year. But here's what's fascinating: after spending weeks with the Pixel 10 Pro, I've realized that this apparent lack of revolutionary change is actually Google's smartest strategic move yet. While the Pixel 10 Pro appeals to me less on a personal level, that's exactly what...
