The latest publicity stunt by Nothing involves its founder and CEO, Carl Pei, releasing a video on his Instagram profile. In the video, he addresses Apple, warning the Cupertino company that Nothing is going to steal its customers, "one bored iPhone user at a time". And that's it.

After they viewed them once, the messages will disappear.

WhatsApp initially started testing this feature on Android earlier this month, and now the same is happening on iOS. The view once option is already available for photos, videos, and voice...

Sony just announced its first LOFIC image sensor, the Lytia 910. “LOFIC” stands for “Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor”. In other words, it solves the issue of photodiodes becoming saturated by too much light by placing a capacitor next to each diode – this significantly increases the full well capacity of each pixel. According to Sony, the Lytia 910 will have 100dB of dynamic range – with a single exposure! For comparison, a sensor like the Lytia 901 needs multi-frame exposure to get to 100dB. The Sony Lytia 910 supports Triple Conversion Gain (TCG) HDR. This means that each pixel...

We finally got our hands on the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra (aka Razr Ultra 2026 in North America), and it's looking quite familiar. Here it is next to its predecessor - physically, aside from the different back panel on these specific two models, there's not much of a difference. You've got mostly the same displays - 7.0-inch 165Hz on the inside, 4.0-inch cover screen; the same SoC - a now-aging Snapdragon 8 Elite; even the camera system is unchanged. The screen on the new Razr Ultra has a few more nits at the high end, and the battery has grown to 5,000mAh (up from...

Quinn Nelson of Snazzy Labs is one of the first people to receive the Trump Mobile T1 Phone – and one of the funniest to review it. The video below is quite long, but it goes into great detail in examining the hardware and software of the phone. That said, the video actually starts with a 2-minute explanation of how email spam works because the Trump Mobile team had great difficulties in sending emails that don’t immediately get flagged by Gmail. And if you’re wondering whether you should get one, then we’ll just point out that the next 4 minutes of the video deal with all the difficulties...

There's been a lot of talk recently about RAM prices going through the roof because of AI data centers gobbling up the entire supply, yet OnePlus doesn't seem to have gotten the memo. The company has just started offering the 15R with more memory than before, in India only for now. [#InlinePriceWidget,14358,1#] The phone launched last year with 12GB of RAM, and you can still get it with that amount of memory with either 256GB or 512GB of storage. But now there's a third option too, which pairs 16GB of RAM with 512GB of storage for INR 61,999 (approximately $657 at the current exchange...

Xreal unveiled its new Aura glasses – these are spatial computing glasses that run Android XR, giving them support for a wide range of applications out of the gate. The glasses feature an Optical See-Through (OST) display that covers 70° field of view. This virtual display is created by two Sony Micro-OLED displays with 1,920 x 1,200px resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

However, there is also electrochromic dimming for when you want to concentrate on what’s “on...
