According to a new rumor out of its home market of Korea, Samsung is considering releasing a cheaper version of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6. This isn't to say the Fold6 itself will be cheaper - but it might be joined by a cheaper option. This is the first time Samsung has ever considered developing a lower-cost foldable, the source of this rumor says.

I’m a sucker for a 2-in-1, and doubly so if it’s featuring the two operating systems I rely on daily. Lenovo has announced its laptop lineup for the year in tandem with CES 2024. The upcoming refreshes include updates to its gaming and work laptops and the ThinkBook series, including the ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, which boasts Android and Windows. There’s also a new affordable Android tablet on the horizon, plus colorful accessories that give me hope Lenovo is finally adopting color into its products.Meet Microsoft's…

"In this day and age you have to think about things in a five-year timespan, so I do think about who I can pass things on to, in case…

Apple's iPhone has long since surpassed its Mac lineup as the company's big moneymaker, and as a result, it feels like iOS has evolved more quickly than its siblings ever could.The App Store, Siri, multitasking, and much more have all been added since the platform began life as iPhone OS in 2008, and while iOS 18 is reported to feature a big AI push, there's still plenty more we want to see from this upcoming release.From taking inspiration from Google to things we've wanted to see for years, here are a few features we'd…

I know that I'm thinking back on all the fond memories of the season, as well as the weirder moments I'm still thinking about. For example, Sylvester Stallone recently shared holiday greetings on social media and decided to center his Christmas message around Rocky. Yes, Rocky. I wouldn't list any of the Rocky movies in my best Christmas movies list, as I tend to associate the boxing franchise more with the Fourth of July or…

From Missouri, USRecommended if you like Scissor Sisters, Shania Twain, Carly Rae JepsenUp next Supporting Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts tour in North AmericaIn a decidedly risk-averse, self-consciously tasteful pop landscape, Chappell Roan stands out.
