Samsung Galaxy Watch8 to have a bigger battery than the Watch7

OnePlus posts an April 1 joke video with an actual 13T teaser

OnePlus posted a video introducing its new product, the OnePlus Hammer. The device can transform objects through quantum rearrangement and create new products.

OnePlus initially claimed there would be no more T products, as they were “diluting the flagship portfolio,” and we haven't seen one since August 2022. Apparently, this...

Apple's satellite connectivity expansion plans interrupted by Elon Musk

Apple has been offering Emergency SOS via Satellite and Roadside Assistance via Satellite in the United States, but the expansion of those services faces a challenge from Elon Musk. The Wall Street Journal reports that the SpaceX owner is not happy with the iPhone maker's investment in Globalstar, a competitor to his Starlink.

Asus teases second generation ROG Ally with improved performance and battery life

Asus has taken to Twitter once again to tease its next generation ROG Ally handheld gaming device. The 34 seconds video doesn't show the actual product but does hint at what one might expect. The video shows the ROG mascot working on the next generation Ally. The items on the screen read 'marathon stamina', 'more capacity', 'faster speeds', and 'fresh look!'.
