Ahead of the rumoured launch, key details about the smartphone have been revealed by a tipster. According to him, we can expect an upgraded processor and a significant battery boost. The Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro is tipped to feature a mid-sized curved OLED display with minimal bezels. It is likely to be a 1.5K resolution panel with high-refresh-rate support. A previous leak suggested that the smartphone will be 7mm thick.

      • "description": "Samsung has unveiled its thinnest smartphone model ever, with a device measuring just 5.",
      • "content": "Samsung has unveiled its thinnest smartphone model ever, with a device measuring just 5.8 millimetres thick. After months of waiting, the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was finally launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event yesterday afternoon, said a report. Weighing just 163 grams, this flagship model is 32 per cent lighter and 34 per cent thinner than the already skinny iPhone 16 Pro Max. The Dailymail said with Samsung claiming the battery can offer 24 hours of video playback. Measuring 6.7 inches diagonally, this sits between the 6.9-inch top-of-the-line S25 Ultra and the 6.2-inch regular S25 model, it said adding that getting less phone doesn't mean a slimmer price tag, with the S25 Edge costing £1099 ($1,099.99 US price) with 256 GB of storage, or £1199 ($1,219.99 US price) for 512 GB. The new smartphone is available in three colours: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is essentially a redesigned version of the current Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus model. The S25 Edge features the same OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and AI features, but includes several trade-offs to fit the new form factor. The S25 Edge only has two rear cameras, although the main camera has 200 megapixels. That is the same camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra in a slimmer package, and a sizeable boost compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max's 48-megapixel main camera. However, the S25 Edge has no telephoto zoom, which will make the camera set up less versatile than other models. The bigger concern is that a smaller, lighter phone means a slimmer battery and a shorter battery life. Samsung says the S25 Edge will have a 3,900 mAh battery, compared with the 5,000 mAh battery in the S25 Ultra. The company claims this can still deliver a full day of video use, so they may have offered improvements via other optimisations. However, the battery's performance won't be clear until the actual release. To ensure the phone doesn't snap in your pocket, Samsung says it has been made with a premium titanium frame and the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for better crack resistance. In terms of software, the phone will feature the same One UI 7 version of Android available on current Samsung models. But the Galaxy S25 Edge will get access to the latest AI features from Galaxy AI, including access to features from Google's Gemini AI. This includes the ability to clean up objects from the background of photos and videos, automatically transcribe calls, and enhanced writing tools. While the Galaxy S25 Edge certainly features a groundbreaking design, not everyone is convinced that slimmer is necessarily better.",

While it hasn’t been long since the Find X8 Ultra, Find X8s, and Find X8s+ arrived, leaks about the upcoming Find X9 series have begun to emerge. A fresh leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed some key details about the rumored Oppo Find X9 lineup.

The tipster states that the Find X9 will sport a 6.3-inch screen, the Find X9 Plus may get a 6.59-inch panel, while the X9 Pro and X9 Ultra are likely to feature 6.78-inch displays.

The Oppo Find X9 series phones are likely to feature flat panels with minimal bezels. As for the cameras, we can expect triple rear cameras on the Find X9, Find X9 Plus, and Find X9 Pro.

April's drop in buying across global manufacturers was the sharpest of 2025 to date—specifically in North America and to a lesser extent Asia—as manufacturers scale back in anticipation of weakening future demand as a direct result of tariffs. \"The first blows of the tariff war have landed on global manufacturers. Stockpiling is accelerating at a concerning rate and the first signs of manufacturers anticipating slower demand and supply shortages have emerged.\" said John Piatek , vice president, consulting GEP. REGIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN VOLATILITY: NORTH AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS RAISE SAFETY STOCK TO BLUNT TARIFFS NEAR-TERM IMPACT North American manufacturers sharply increased inventory buffers in April, warehousing front-loaded Q1 purchases in response to rising tariff concerns and a renewed focus on supply chain resilience. SPARE CAPACITY RISES ACROSS ASIA Spare capacity across Asian supply chains increased significantly in April as factory slowdowns were evident in many of the region's major markets, led by China , Taiwan and South Korea . In Europe , there were further signs that the continent's industrial downturn was cooling. Supply chain capacity went underutilized to the smallest degree in ten months, reflecting growth in Germany and France , though risks remain if global trade conditions worsen. The U.K. once again recorded significant manufacturing weakness, with supplier activity down at a rate which has rarely been surpassed in 20 years of data availability. Interpreting the data: Index > 0, supply chain capacity is being stretched. The further above 0, the more stretched supply chains are. Index < 0, supply chain capacity is being underutilized. The further below 0, the more underutilized supply chains are. For more information, visit www.gep.com/volatility .

The next release of the GEP Global Supply Chain Volatility Index will be 8 a.m. ET , Jun. 11, 2025 . About the GEP Global Supply Chain Volatility Index The GEP Global Supply Chain Volatility Index is produced by S&P Global and GEP. It is derived from S&P Global's PMI® surveys, sent to companies in over 40 countries, totaling around 27,000 companies. The headline figure is a weighted sum of six sub-indices derived from PMI data, PMI Comments Trackers and PMI Commodity Price & Supply Indicators compiled by S&P Global. A value above 0 indicates that supply chain capacity is being stretched and supply chain volatility is increasing. The further above 0, the greater the extent to which capacity is being stretched. A value below 0 indicates that supply chain capacity is being underutilized, reducing supply chain volatility. The further below 0, the greater the extent to which capacity is being underutilized. A Supply Chain Volatility Index is also published at a regional level for Europe , Asia , North America and the U.K. For more information about the methodology, click here .

      • "content": "TAIPEI , May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) Chairman and CEO Sherman Lin led a delegation to the United Arab Emirates from May 4 to 10 to expand engagement with Middle Eastern markets and showcase Taiwan's capital market strengths. The delegation met with local exchanges, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, and custodian banks, culminating in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Dubai Financial Market. The MoU focuses on cross-border product listings, joint market promotion, and information exchange. Discussions also covered potential dual-listed ETFs and co-developed financial products. \"The Middle East is strategically important to Taiwan's capital market internationalization,\" said Lin. \"We aim to foster deeper cooperation and broader investor engagement.\" The TWSE also held follow-up meetings with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), building on a cooperation MoU signed in 2007. A visit to ADX last October extended dialogue on cross-border ETF listings and other collaborative opportunities. Capital Market Summit and strategic dialogue During the visit, Lin spoke at the Capital Market Summit 2025, hosted by the Dubai Exchange. He joined a panel titled \"Bridging Borders: Cross-Border Capital Flows\" alongside representatives from the Dubai Financial Market, Bahrain Bourse, and Nasdaq, where he addressed the regulatory challenges surrounding cross-border capital movement, its potential benefits, and the TWSE's ongoing efforts to facilitate cross-market initiatives. Lin underscored how Taiwan and Middle Eastern markets are highly complementary. \"Cross-border financial products and capital engagement offer long-term, mutually beneficial opportunities for both sides,\" Lin emphasized. He added that ETF cross-listings have emerged as an effective model, with a Taiwan - Japan product collaboration expected to launch later this year. This marked Lin's second visit to the region, following an outreach in October 2024 , and reflects the TWSE's continued commitment to expanding international investor engagement. Highlighting Taiwan's market strengths In addition to meeting the region's two major stock exchanges, the delegation met with over a dozen local financial institutions and sovereign wealth funds to promote Taiwan's market. Chairman Lin highlighted Taiwan's central role in the global AI supply chain, with its semiconductor sector driving a surge in market cap and trading volume in 2024. He also noted Taiwan's resilience during global equity selloffs in April 2025 . While most markets declined due to renewed tariff concerns, Taiwan's benchmark index was among the first to rebound—demonstrating market resilience and investor confidence. Lin also welcomed input from foreign investors on improving Taiwan's market mechanisms. Foreign investment momentum Foreign investors hold over 40% of outstanding shares and contribute more than 30% of daily trading. Despite global volatility in 2025, the TWSE index has gained 20% since early April, with average daily turnover exceeding TWD 300 billion ( $9.8 billion ). Through this outreach, the TWSE aims to strengthen market connectivity, attract capital and product flows, and enhance Taiwan's global capital market presence.

      • "content": "A former Rockstar veteran has responded to recent rumors that a GTA 4 re-release on the latest generation of consoles could be in the works to say the game should be remastered. However, it’s worth stressing that Rockstar has made no indication it plans to re-release GTA 4, and in truth such a game would come as a huge surprise, given the studio's ongoing focus on GTA 6. Obbe Vermeij, former Rockstar Games technical director who worked at the company from 1995 to 2009, was asked about the GTA 4 rumors on social media. While he hadn’t heard about them, he did say GTA 4, which he worked on, “should be remastered.” “It's a great game and there have been a number of successful remasters recently,” he added, perhaps referring to the hugely popular The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. “I would like to see it updated,” Vermeij continued in another social media post . “Niko is still the best protagonist in any GTA game I think.” As for how this potential remaster might work, Vermeij suggested Rockstar would perhaps port GTA 4 to the latest version of the Rage engine, which it uses to build its games. Again, it’s worth pointing out that Rockstar has provided fans with no indication it plans to remaster GTA 4. We should remember the enormous undertaking that is GTA 6, and to take on a GTA 4 remaster or remake amid all that would perhaps be beyond the scope of Rockstar, even with its seemingly endless resources. Rockstar could have an external studio handle the port, as it did with the port of Red Dead Redemption , but the timing of a GTA 4 re-release in 2025 makes little sense when you think about GTA 6’s initial fall 2025 release window. If GTA 6 were not delayed, it’s doubtful Rockstar would sell a GTA 4 remaster and GTA 6 in the same window, diverting the audience's attention away from the main event. Sticking with Liberty City, some GTA fans think the location may end up in GTA 6 either at launch or as post-launch DLC . Liberty City is the GTA series’ take on New York City, and was the setting for 2008’s GTA 4 as well as 2009 spin-off GTA: Chinatown Wars. GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida (Florida), which includes Vice City, GTA’s take on Miami. While we wait to find out, we’ve got plenty more on GTA 6, including all the details we’ve discovered so far , a roundup of 70 brand new screenshots , and the expert opinion on how GTA 6 will look on PS5 Pro .

      • "content": "The universe is poised to die much faster than previously thought, according to new research by Dutch scientists. But there's no great need to panic. We still have 10 to the power of 78 years before it happens -- that's a one with 78 zeroes. However, that is a major revision from the previous estimate of 10 to the power of 1,100 years, notes the research paper from Radboud University, published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. \"The final end of the universe is coming much sooner than expected but fortunately it still takes a very long time,\" said lead author Heino Falcke. A trio of scientists at Radboud set out to calculate when the most \"durable\" celestial bodies -- white dwarf stars -- would eventually die out. They based their calculations on Hawking radiation, named after celebrated British physicist Stephen Hawking. Hawking postulated in the mid-1970s that black holes leak radiation, slowly dissolving like aspirin in a glass of water -- giving them a finite lifetime. The Radboud scientists extended this to other objects in the universe, calculating that the \"evaporation time\" depends on density. This enabled them to calculate the theoretical dissolution of the longest-lasting body, the white dwarf. \"By asking these kinds of questions and looking at extreme cases, we want to better understand the theory, and perhaps one day, we can unravel the mystery of Hawking radiation,\" said co-author Walter van Suijlekom. Humankind needn't worry too much about the end of the universe. Unless we escape planet Earth, we'll be long gone. Scientists think that our Sun will be too hot for life in about a billion years, boiling our oceans. In about eight billion years, our star will eventually expand towards the Earth, finally gobbling up our by-then barren and lifeless planet and condemning it to a fiery death.",

      • "content": "Honor reportedly has a foldable phone in its launch pipeline, the Honor Magic V5. The smartphone is expected to succeed the Honor Magic V3, which was launched in July last year. Rumours about the upcoming phone have been surfacing for a while now. A recent leak shows the phone listed on multiple Chinese certification websites. The listing reveals information about the battery capacity and charging speed of the device. Gizmochina reported that a phone with the model number MBH-AN10 has been spotted on China’s MIIT and 3C certification websites. The device is believed to be the Honor Magic V5. According to the listing, the foldable phone will pack a 2070mAh and a 3880mAh dual-cell battery, which adds to 5950mAh. The same report indicates that Honor may market the device with a 6100mAh battery. The MIIT listing suggests that the Honor Magic V5 will support Beidou-3 connectivity for short messaging services. Additionally, the 3C certification confirms support for 66W charging. The Honor Magic V5 is rumored to feature an 8-inch 2K resolution OLED inner display and a 6.45-inch cover screen. Both panels are expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate. The foldable smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s high-end Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The smartphone is tipped to feature a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary sensor, a 200MP telephoto periscope lens, and an ultra-wide lens. Information about the front camera is not currently available. Besides this, we can expect IPX8 dust and water resistance, satellite connectivity, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and support for wireless charging. The Honor Magic V5 is expected to be extremely slim and lightweight, especially considering that the current Honor Magic V3 measures 9.2mm when folded and just 4.44mm when unfolded. The Oppo Find N5 is currently the world’s slimmest foldable, but it is likely that Honor aims to dethrone it with its upcoming foldable.

      • "content": "Peering through a microscope, food scientist Raquel Gomez studies microorganisms that add nutrients and preserve tortillas for several weeks without refrigerators -- a luxury in impoverished Mexican communities. The humble tortilla is a Mexican staple, consumed in tacos and other dishes by millions every day, from the Latin American nation's arid northern deserts to its tropical southern jungle. Most Mexicans buy fresh corn tortillas from small neighborhood shops. The wheat flour version developed by Gomez and her team contains probiotics -- live microorganisms found in yogurt and other fermented foods. As well as the nutritional benefits, the fermented ingredients mean the tortilla can be kept for up to a month without refrigeration, much longer than a homemade one, according to its creators. It was developed \"with the most vulnerable people in mind,\" Gomez, a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), told AFP in her laboratory. Nearly 14 percent of children under five suffer from chronic malnutrition in Mexico, according to official figures. In Indigenous communities, the figure is around 27 percent. The tortilla developed by Gomez is not yet commercially available, but it could benefit people like Teresa Sanchez. The 46-year-old housewife smokes meat using a wood-burning stove in her house with wooden walls and a metal roof. Like most of her neighbors in the town of Oxchuc, in the southern state of Chiapas, Sanchez has no refrigerator, so she uses the methods handed down by her Indigenous Tzeltal ancestors. \"My mother taught me and grandparents always do it this way,\" she told AFP. \"Where are you going to get a refrigerator if there's no money?\" Less than two-thirds of people in Chiapas, a poverty-plagued region with a large Indigenous population, have a refrigerator -- the lowest among Mexico's 32 states. The average maximum temperature in Chiapas rose from 30.1 to 32 degrees Celsius between 2014 and 2024, according to official estimates. Half of its territory is considered vulnerable to climate change. While Oxchuc is located in a mountainous, temperate area, the lack of refrigerators forces its inhabitants to rely on traditional food preservation methods. \"We think about what we're going to eat and how many of us there are. We boil it, and if there's some left over, we boil it again,\" Sanchez said. Sometimes meat is salted and left to dry under the sun. Tortillas are stored in containers made from tree bark. For that reason, Sanchez only shops for the bare necessities, although her budget is limited anyway. \"I don't have that much money to buy things,\" she said. Gomez and her team use prebiotics -- which are mainly found in high-fiber foods -- to feed probiotic cultures and produce compounds beneficial to health, she said. Thanks to the fermented ingredients, no artificial preservatives are needed in the laboratory developed tortilla, Gomez said. That is another benefit because such additives have potentially toxic effects, said Guillermo Arteaga, a researcher at the University of Sonora. One of the most commonly used additives in processed wheat flour tortillas is calcium propionate, which is considered harmful to the colon's microbiota, Arteaga said. Although her tortilla is made from wheat flour -- a type eaten mainly in northern Mexico -- Gomez does not rule out using the same method for corn tortillas, which are preferred by many Mexicans but can go bad quickly in high temperatures. The researchers patented their tortilla in 2023. UNAM signed a contract with a company to market the food, but the agreement fell through. Gomez, who won an award in December from the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property, still hopes to find partners to distribute her tortillas. She is confident that even though they were developed in a laboratory, consumers will still want to eat them.",

      • "content": "The Acer Predator Helios 16 comes equipped with internals that’ll keep you sailing smoothly through heavy gaming pressure and everyday tasks. Add its plethora of ports, stellar thermals, and beautiful, matte display with a high refresh rate into the mix, and this laptop proves it’s worthy of its price. That said, this laptop’s gamer-forward design may not suit everyone’s tastes. With a flashy light bar at the back and a backlit logo on the top lid, no one’s going to second-guess that this is a gaming laptop . You can change the default RGB wave light scheme to something more low-key, but its prominent gamer aesthetic may not go unnoticed in the office. With its 14th Gen Intel processor, an RTX 4080 GPU, and a top-notch thermal design, this laptop is definitely a serious contender as one of the best gaming laptops Mashable has tested. Sure, there are a few minor features I wish I could improve, but I think the laptop’s positives greatly outweigh its negatives. Without further ado, let’s dive into the good, the bad, and everything else about the Predator Helios 16. Acer Predator Helios 16 price and specs The Acer Predator Helios 16 is a pricey laptop, but it’s equipped with all the necessary internals to run AAA games at high settings. Our review unit costs $2,299 and comes with the following specs: If you like the look of this gaming laptop, but would rather trade slightly lower specs for a more affordable price, take a look at this Predator Helios 16 configuration at Best Buy for $1,699. It comes with the same Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU and 2560 x 1600-pixel display, but comes with only 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and an RTX 4070 GPU. This won’t easily double as a work laptop in appearance Constructed with an aluminum lid and keyboard deck and a plastic bottom, the Predator Helios 16 is quite sturdy. I’d love to see an all-aluminum build for durability and even better thermals, but that would definitely raise the laptop’s price. Decking this laptop out in an all-aluminum chassis would also increase the weight, and it’s already quite hefty. This laptop weighs 5.7 pounds and measures 14.1 x 10.9 x 1 inches, so it's not a very travel-friendly companion. Then, in true gaming laptop fashion, there are multiple customizable RGB elements. Compared to its predecessor, this model gains RGB logos on the lid and below the keyboard’s right side. Personally, I’m not a fan because they feel like flashy, battery-draining details that most gamers probably don’t care about. When you pair these backlit logos with the seven-zone RGB Infinity Mirror bar that sticks out at the back, the Acer Predator Helios 16 simply screams, “I’m a gaming laptop.” For some, that may not be a bad thing. But for those who want to use a single laptop for both gaming and work, this laptop’s design isn’t nearly inconspicuous enough, even after switching off all the lights. A large, bright, and matte display that’s not super vibrant The Acer Predator Helios 16 comes with a 16-inch, 2560 x 1600-pixel IPS LCD display with a 240Hz max refresh rate and a three-millisecond response time. I wish the colors were more vibrant on this laptop's display. I love the amount of screen real estate this gaming laptop offers, especially with its 16:10 aspect ratio. The max 240Hz refresh rate made watching content and playing games a stutter-free experience. And for a gaming laptop, its bezels are relatively small. To scrutinize this laptop’s display, I fired up a YouTube trailer for Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning . With the display’s high resolution, I had no issues spotting minute details, like wrinkles and fine lines on the actors' faces and hair strands. However, the colors don’t pop off the screen as much as I’d like. There’s a plane at the beginning of the trailer that I imagine is bright red and grass that should be vibrant green, but these colors come across muted on the Predator Helios 16’s display. Despite not being colorful, this matte display is quite bright. Officially, it has 500 nits max brightness, which is kind of unheard of for gaming laptops — they tend to hover around 300 or 400 nits max. I found the display easy to see, even in direct sunlight. The ports of a gamer’s dreams For a gaming laptop, I’d expect nothing less than a plethora of ports, and the Acer Predator Helios 16 absolutely delivers. The left side of the Acer Predator Helios 16. On the left: The right side of the Acer Predator Helios 16. On the right: The back side of the Acer Predator Helios 16. On the back: The charging cable is pretty bulky, but it’s extra long, and the DC-in power port is conveniently located at the center of the back edge. There’s an HDMI port to connect a bigger monitor, an audio jack to hook up wired headphones, and plenty of USB ports to choose from for your peripherals . The speakers are passable, but not for listening to music The Predator Helios 16 has a lot of good things going for it, but its audio quality isn’t one of them. This laptop’s two built-in stereo speakers deliver sharp in-game dialogue at a volume that’s more than plenty to hear characters over the powerful fans. When streaming media on the laptop, I got the same result. Character voices come through well, but these aren’t speakers you’ll want to listen to music out of. I listened to \"Real\" by Unprocessed (feat. Polyphia's Tim Henson & Clay Gober) and Bo Burnham's \"All Eyes on Me (Song Only),\" and both songs utterly lacked that full-bodied, atmospheric depth that comes from bass notes rounding out the soundstage. Pairing some of the best headphones with this laptop is a must if you’re a music lover. A fairly punchy keyboard and a smooth trackpad You can control the brightness and color of each individual key on the Acer Predator Helios 16. This laptop’s keyboard may not satisfy the biggest keyboard snobs (it’s me, I’m the keyboard snob) because the typing experience isn’t as satisfyingly clicky as on other laptop keyboards. That said, I found typing to be relatively snappy overall, and having a laptop with a full-size keyboard with well-sized and well-spaced keys is always a win in my book. In true gaming laptop fashion, the keyboard offers RGB backlighting. More specifically, the Predator Helios 16 offers per-key RGB mini-LED backlit keys, so you can control the brightness and color of each individual key if you’d like. Or, if you prefer to save battery life, you can turn the lights off completely. I have no complaints about the trackpad. It’s large, responsive, and feels velvety smooth. Some may care about the trackpad being slightly off-center, but it didn’t hinder performance or bug me at all. Acer Predator Helios 16 benchmarks and performance To jog your memory, here are the internals this Acer Predator Helios 16 configuration is working with: an Intel Core i914900HX CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPU with 12GB of VRAM, and 32GB of RAM. Those specs work together beautifully to create a smooth overall experience, whether you’re playing a Triple-A title at high presets or hoarding tabs while completing a project for school or work. On our traditional laptop stress test, which involves opening 20 Chrome tabs with a mix of static and video content and a few background apps, this laptop passed with flying colors. Because it has a discrete GPU, I even doubled the number of Chrome tabs, and it still refused to stutter. With all that open, I was able to type in Google Docs and load a new page with no issues. To stress test this gaming laptop’s internals, I played Cyberpunk 2077 for an hour at high presets and native resolution (2560 x 1600) with DLSS turned off. Shooting and moving around in the game felt silky smooth, and I averaged around 80 frames per second. While looping a video to run down the battery, going about my regular workday tasks, or playing Cyberpunk 2077 , the laptop’s top-notch thermal design kept everything cool. After an hour of gaming, the laptop’s hottest points were barely warm. Of course, with excellent thermal design comes fan noise, but the only time the fans were noticeably noisy was during gameplay — and even then, I could easily hear the in-game audio over the fans. This laptop has a very \"gamer\" look. Real-world performance tests show how a laptop functions in the day-to-day, but if you’re comparing laptops before buying, standardized performance benchmarks reign supreme. On 3DMark’s TimeSpy benchmark, which assesses graphical prowess, the Predator Helios 16 delivered a staggering score of 16,837 , far surpassing many of the other gaming laptops we’ve tested. The HP Omen 17 and Alienware m16 R2 delivered scores of 12,105 and 12,224 with an RTX 4070 GPU, respectively. To test CPU performance, I ran Geekbench 6. In Performance mode, the Predator Helios 16 earned a multi-core score of 17,462 . Switching over to Balanced mode, the laptop earned a slightly lower score of 16,817 . For comparison, the 2024 HP Omen 17 received a multi-core score of 12,781. Lastly, our Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark tests the laptop’s in-game performance with DLSS off, the presets notched at high, and typically, the resolution set to 1080p. Then, we switch DLSS on and report the recorded frame rates. However, this laptop consistently delivered puzzling results when set to 1080p, which could have something to do with recent DLSS upgrades and the new model. With the resolution set to 1080p, our Cyberpunk 2077 delivered 111.8 frames per second with DLSS off and 109.7 frames per second with DLSS on. The only way I was able to up the frames per second at 1080p resolution was by enabling AI-powered frame generation, which then churned out over 200 frames per second. Turning DLSS on traditionally gets you more frames per second, not less, which was reflected in running the same benchmark at native resolution (2560 x 1600). At native resolution, our Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark scored an average of 79.4 frames per second with DLSS switched off. Turning DLSS on notched an impressive 109.3 frames per second . Acer Predator Helios 16 battery life If you’re looking for one of the best laptops for battery life , the Acer Predator Helios 16 isn’t the one for you. In our battery test, which involves looping a 1080p version of Tears of Steel at 50 percent brightness, the Predator Helios 16 only lasted 5 hours and 34 minutes . And believe it or not, that’s with all of its RGB LEDs turned off. With the RGB light bar on and blue, static lights under the keyboard, the laptop eked out a mere 3 hours and 42 minutes . Considering the HP Omen 17 (with slightly lower specs) lasted 8 hours and 13 minutes on the same video rundown test, these results aren’t great. Granted, for gaming purposes, you’ll be using the Predator Helios 16 plugged in. But don’t expect to use this laptop at a library or coffee shop cord-free — at least, not for very long. No one’s surprised by this grainy, dull webcam The Predator Helios 16 is a gaming laptop, and as such, the webcam is far from impressive. The webcam is nothing special. Looking at myself through this laptop’s 1080p webcam, I wasn’t surprised a bit to see dull colors amidst a grainy reflection. I even gave the webcam the best chance possible and positioned myself in front of natural sunlight that wasn’t too bright. The webcam is relatively sharp, proven by the individual strands of hair I could pick out in my selfie, but overall, it’s quite mediocre. Plus, there’s no privacy shutter. Is the Acer Predator Helios 16 worth it? The Acer Predator Helios 16 is an amazing gaming laptop, packed with a 14th Gen Intel CPU and an RTX 4080 GPU that are quite capable of playing AAA titles at high settings with remarkable ease and not a lot of heat, thanks to an adept thermal design. I even think that this laptop’s prominent gamer aesthetic is easy to ignore if you’re simply looking for the best internals you can get at the best price. If you want a more subtle gaming laptop that could double as a work laptop, check out the HP Omen 17 instead. The biggest potential flaw with this laptop, depending on what your needs are, is its lackluster battery life. You won’t be able to stray far from an outlet for long, even around your own home. Granted, if you don’t plan to ever play unplugged because it often means sacrificing higher frame rates, then this probably isn’t an issue worth considering for you. If your top priority in a gaming laptop is overall performance at a great price (and you don’t mind the “gamer” look), I believe the Acer Predator Helios 16 is definitely worth it.",

      • "content": "Samsung announced a new phone on Monday, so you know what that means: It's time to do some comparing and contrasting. This time, we'll be looking at how the ultra-thin Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge matches up against old reliable, the iPhone 16 from Apple . One of them is the meat-and-potatoes base model for an entire lineup, while the other is the flashy new member of the family with a specific selling point. Let's hash them out. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs. iPhone 16 Besides the obvious (iOS vs. Android), here is how the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone 16 compare to one another. And if you're looking for the tl;dr version: the iPhone 16 is the standard iPhone of the moment, while the S25 Edge is a thinner version of the flagship S25 Ultra. The S25 Edge doesn't sacrifice many flagship features, but it's smaller, thinner, and more affordable. Love the pink iPhone. There's one thing we need to get out of the way immediately: The $1,099 Galaxy S25 Edge is a substantially more expensive phone than the $799 iPhone 16. As such, the expectations for specs and features are a little different for these two phones. Here is what Samsung is working with: And here is what you get from the iPhone 16: If we were declaring winners and losers here, obviously the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge would win in the specs department because it's a more premium phone. You get a much bigger display with a significantly better refresh rate, more RAM, and more starting storage. Super thin. The big selling point of the Galaxy S25 Edge lies here, but first, we need to talk about colors. The iPhone 16's color palette is a lot more interesting than the Galaxy S25 Edge's. You can choose from black, white, pink, teal, and blue. Samsung, on the other hand, is offering three looks for the S25 Edge: Black, silver, and blue. Boring . But color isn't the big reason to pay attention to the S25 Edge. The entire gimmick with Samsung's new phone is that you get premium specs in an unbelievably thin body. At 5.8mm of thickness, it's a good deal thinner than the 7.8 mm-thick iPhone 16. Samsung's phone is also lighter, clocking in at just 163g compared to the iPhone 16's 170g. Aside from that, the two phones actually look fairly similar at a glance. Both of them have two rear camera lenses situated at the top left corner of the phone's backside, for example. Neither company is really pushing the envelope here, outside of Samsung making a flagship phone that's really, really skinny. It should be noted that Apple is reportedly working on the same thing . This is one category that's impossible to really evaluate right now because we don't have both phones in hand yet. That said, the iPhone 16's A18 chip is a really solid performer, rarely slowing down or introducing any kind of noteworthy issues in day-to-day life, which I can confirm as an iPhone 16 owner. And the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset in the S25 Edge was similarly brilliant in the other S25 phones, which launched earlier this year. There may be differences that emerge in testing, but there's no reason to believe either of these phones has severe performance problems. The one big knock against the Galaxy S25 Edge is that its 3,900mAh battery is smaller than any of the other Galaxy S25 phones, even the cheaper base model. That's a compromise Samsung had to make in order to achieve that level of thinness. Still, impressively, it's bigger than the 3,561mAh cell in the iPhone 16. That doesn't necessarily mean the Galaxy S25 Edge will outpace the iPhone 16 in practical battery testing, which we haven't done yet. It could be poorly optimized or inefficient, for all we know. Speaking from personal experience, you can get about 24 hours out of one charge of the iPhone 16, so the S25 Edge needs to match that number to stay competitive. Can't wait to test these out. Lastly, the cameras. One more time for those who just got here: We haven't done any head-to-head testing yet, so a final evaluation will have to wait. We can compare specs, though, and Samsung's phone will win every time if that's the fight. The Galaxy S25 Edge comes with a staggering 200MP wide lens on the back, to go along with a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The iPhone 16 also has a 12MP ultra-wide lens on the rear, but you only get a 48MP wide lens to go along with it. Samsung packed the same premium lens from the Galaxy S25 Ultra into the Edge, which could certainly be a selling point. We can't wait to find out how the photos actually look, in practice.",

      • "content": "AI's inner workings remain a mystery, even to its makers \"Grasping the entirety of a large language model is an incredibly ambitious task,\" says research scientist NEW YORK: Even the top minds behind generative artificial intelligence, technology expected to reshape the world, acknowledge that they do not fully grasp how these digital systems think. “People outside the field are often surprised and alarmed to learn that we do not understand how our own AI creations work,” wrote Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei in an online essay published in April. “This lack of understanding is essentially unprecedented in the history of technology,” he added. In contrast to traditional software programmes that follow clearly defined logical instructions set by programmers, generative AI (gen AI) models learn to navigate their own path to deliver results once prompted. In a recent podcast Chris Olah, who was part of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI before joining Anthropic, described gen AI as \"scaffolding\" on which circuits grow. Olah is considered an authority in so-called mechanistic interpretability, a method of reverse engineering AI models to figure out how they work. This science, born about a decade ago, seeks to determine exactly how AI gets from a query to an answer. \"Grasping the entirety of a large language model is an incredibly ambitious task,\" said Neel Nanda, a senior research scientist at the Google DeepMind AI lab. It was \"somewhat analogous to trying to fully understand the human brain,\" Nanda added to AFP , noting neuroscientists have yet to succeed on that front. Delving into digital minds to understand their inner workings has gone from a little-known field just a few years ago to being a hot area of academic study. \"Students are very much attracted to it because they perceive the impact that it can have,\" said Boston University computer science professor Mark Crovella. The area of study is also gaining traction due to its potential to make gen AI even more powerful, and because peering into digital brains can be intellectually exciting, the professor added. Mechanistic interpretability involves studying not just results served up by gen AI but scrutinising calculations performed while the technology mulls queries, according to Crovella. \"You could look into the model...observe the computations that are being performed and try to understand those,\" the professor explained. Startup Goodfire uses AI software capable of representing data in the form of reasoning steps to better understand gen AI processing and correct errors. The tool is also intended to prevent gen AI models from being used maliciously or from deciding on their own to deceive humans about what they are up to. \"It does feel like a race against time to get there before we implement extremely intelligent AI models into the world with no understanding of how they work,\" said Goodfire chief executive Eric Ho. In his essay, Amodei said recent progress has made him optimistic that the key to fully deciphering AI will be found within two years. \"I agree that by 2027, we could have interpretability that reliably detects model biases and harmful intentions,\" said Auburn University associate professor Anh Nguyen. According to Boston University's Crovella, researchers can already access representations of every digital neuron in AI brains. \"Unlike the human brain, we actually have the equivalent of every neuron instrumented inside these models\", the academic said. \"Everything that happens inside the model is fully known to us. It's a question of discovering the right way to interrogate that.\" Harnessing the inner workings of gen AI minds could clear the way for its adoption in areas where tiny errors can have dramatic consequences, like national security, Amodei said. For Nanda, better understanding what gen AI is doing could also catapult human discoveries, much like DeepMind's chess-playing AI, AlphaZero, revealed entirely new chess moves that none of the grand masters had ever thought about. Properly understood, a gen AI model with a stamp of reliability would grab competitive advantage in the market. Such a breakthrough by a US company would also be a win for the nation in its technology rivalry with China. \"Powerful AI will shape humanity's destiny,\" Amodei wrote. \"We deserve to understand our own creations before they radically transform our economy, our lives, and our future.\" China turns to AI humanoid robots to revolutionise manufacturing OpenAI and Microsoft renegotiate billion-dollar deal Apple challenges Google with new AI search option in Safari Cybersecurity warning issued to Pakistanis amid rising cross-border tensions",

      • "content": "GIBRALTAR , May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bullish , one of the fastest-growing regulated virtual asset exchanges, today announced its partnership with the Gibraltar Government and the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) to develop the world's first regulation for the clearing and settlement of derivative contracts settled in virtual assets. This innovation will enable virtual asset derivative contracts to be cleared and settled in virtual assets by a recognized clearing house for the first time. This groundbreaking initiative moves beyond the limitations of traditional fiat-based clearing and settlement infrastructure and marks a significant milestone in the evolution of virtual asset regulation. Over the past six months, Bullish and the GFSC have collaborated and agreed to create a regulatory framework that seamlessly adapts traditional finance clearing regulations with the unique requirements and capabilities of the virtual asset market. For example, under the proposed clearing framework, select virtual assets may be eligible as collateral and settlement currency. The selection criteria will follow the principles underpinning existing traditional clearing regulations. Additionally, the framework will expand the range of institutions authorized to hold collateral, enhancing market integrity and participation while mitigating key risks. Setting the standard for a crypto clearing solution Major virtual asset exchanges have been performing the clearing function without appropriate regulatory oversight, leading to failures impacting customers. The proposed regime introduces a regulated clearing house entity, separate and independent from the exchange and its participants, with improved transparency and capitalization to strengthen market infrastructure protection. In a separate announcement, His Majesty's Government of Gibraltar expressed its enthusiasm for the framework, which fosters trust, resilience, and integrity in virtual asset markets. Bullish warmly welcomes their announcement and is excited to work alongside the government and GFSC to bring this groundbreaking regulatory framework to fruition. \"There is currently no regulation that specifically addresses the clearing needs of the crypto industry. We aim to change that by introducing a framework that manages risk for virtual asset trading and is aligned with traditional market infrastructure standards,\" said Tom Farley , Bullish Group CEO. \"While Central Counterparties have become more robust in other asset classes, this initiative will bring that same robust risk management and regulatory oversight to the crypto clearing space that EMIR & Dodd-Frank brought to traditional derivatives markets. We welcome the announcement from the government of Gibraltar and look forward to introducing our joint proposal to the market.\" The Hon Nigel Feetham KC MP , Minister for Financial Services adds, \" Gibraltar is renowned for pioneering clear regulation and embracing forward-looking technology, being the first jurisdiction globally to introduce legislation for firms using Distributed Ledger Technology. We are excited to deepen our relationship with Bullish and to introduce this unprecedented virtual asset clearing solution to the market.\" Bullish exchange poised to become first regulated virtual asset clearing house globally In anticipation of the new framework, Bullish plans to introduce its Clearing Services offering alongside Options trading later this year. This initial launch will integrate a variety of clearing benefits into the market as Bullish moves toward establishing a standalone clearing house under the new regulatory framework. With licenses from the GFSC, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) , and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) , Bullish is well-positioned to set the standard for virtual asset clearing solutions. \"Our long-term goal is to establish a robust regulatory framework that not only meets the current needs of the virtual asset ecosystem but also anticipates future developments. This initiative underscores our commitment to operating a regulated, compliant exchange that supports institutional participation with an end-to-end clearing solution,\" said Randi Abernethy , Head of Clearing and Group Risk at Bullish. \"Several market participants have already voiced strong support for our business model because they recognize the value of regulated central clearing. We look forward to Bullish becoming the first operational regulated digital assets clearing house in the world.\" In advance of this, Bullish will form a clearing member working group to bring industry leaders together to share their expertise, establish the initial clearing network, and enhance the robustness of Bullish's clearing ecosystem.

      • "content": "The British government suffered a setback to its plans to make it easier for AI companies to access data as the House of Lords backed more protection for content creators on Monday. The Labour government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer wants to introduce a copyright exception for commercial generative AI training with its Data (Use and Access) Bill. Under the proposed law, companies developing AI models would not need permission from creatives to access certain content -- a plan that has provoked a fierce backlash in the cultural sector. More than 400 artists and other creatives have signed an open letter calling for the plans to be scrapped, including Paul McCartney, Elton John and Dua Lipa. Beeban Kidron, a member of the House of Lords, Britain's upper house of parliament, on Monday tabled an amendment to the bill that was passed by 272 votes to 125. Under the amendment, authors must give permission for their work to be used and must also be able to see what has been taken, by whom and when. Artificial intelligence companies \"are stealing some of the UK's most valuable cultural and economic assets\", said Kidron, who directed one of the Bridget Jones films. \"Creators do not deny the creative and economic value of AI. But we do deny the assertion that we should have to build AI for free, with our work, and then rent it back from those who stole it,\" Kidron said. \"It's Harry Potter, it's the entire back catalogue of every single music publisher in the UK. It's the voice of Hugh Grant, the design of an iconic handbag, the IP of our universities, great museums and library collections,\" she said. Labour digital minister Maggie Jones said there was a \"real risk\" that too many \"obligations\" would lead to \"AI innovators, including many home-grown British companies, thinking twice about whether they wish to develop and provide their services in the UK\". Starmer in January unveiled an \"action plan\" to make the UK \"the world leader\" in artificial intelligence and spark Britain's flagging economy, promising flexible regulations. The bill will now be sent back to the House of Commons, the lower house of parliament, for further debate.",

      • "content": "China turns to AI humanoid robots to revolutionise manufacturing \"Just imagine that one day in our own robot factory, our robots are assembling themselves,\" says partner at AgiBot AgiBot, a pioneering humanoid robot startup, operates a sprawling warehouse in a Shanghai suburb, where robots perform repetitive tasks like folding T-shirts and making sandwiches for 17 hours a day. The goal is to amass data to train robots for future integration into daily life. This initiative has gained significant attention from the Chinese government, particularly as the nation grapples with trade tensions with the United States, an ageing population, and an economic slowdown. \"Just imagine that one day in our own robot factory, our robots are assembling themselves,\" said Yao Maoqing, a partner at AgiBot. Last month, President Xi Jinping visited AgiBot, playfully suggesting that these humanoid machines could even form a football team. The visit underscores the country's commitment to advancing humanoid robotics as a potential solution to its economic challenges. Additionally, another key player in the field, Unitree, was also present in a meeting Xi hosted for private firms earlier this year, where he urged them to help China's economy. As the US negotiates with China over tariffs that President Donald Trump had imposed to help bring back US manufacturing jobs, Beijing is aiming for a new industrial revolution where many factory tasks would be performed by humanoid robots. In recent years, Chinese humanoid robots have demonstrated increasing feats of agility, including performing somersaults, running a half-marathon, and even playing football, as Xi mused. But Reuters is reporting for the first time details about how China's advances in artificial intelligence, partly driven by the success of homegrown firms like DeepSeek as well as abundant government support, are allowing humanoid developers to pair the robots' already impressive hardware with the software needed to make them economically valuable. Reuters spoke to more than a dozen people, including Chinese humanoid manufacturers, investors, customers and analysts, who described how breakthroughs in developing robot \"brains\" will allow these metallic machines to go from mere spectacles to productive and autodidact workers that could revolutionise the world's pre-eminent manufacturing power. China aims to build its edge by focusing on data training and the sophistication of its AI models, the people said, with some saying the prowess of DeepSeek was a big aid. DeepSeek and the Chinese government didn't respond to requests for comment about their roles in the development of humanoid robots. A successful and widespread deployment of these robots in factory floors would enable China to keep driving economic growth and maintain its manufacturing superiority, making the field an area of competition with the US. Less clear is how Beijing would manage the spectre of layoffs of factory workers. State media has suggested that, as with previous industrial revolutions, long-term job creation would outweigh short-term pain. Chinese authorities are handing out generous subsidies for humanoid firms. More than $20 billion has been allocated to the sector over the past year, and Beijing is establishing a one trillion yuan ($137 billion) fund to support startups in areas such as AI and robotics, official announcements show.

      • "description": "The Honor 400 Pro is here to go head-on with the likes of the Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16.",
      • "content": "Honor has finally unveiled its highly anticipated Honor 400 Pro . The smartphone is a high-end offering with top of the line specs and a truly remarkable camera system. At the heart of its imaging system is a 200MP primary camera, enhanced by AI-powered features like AI Superzoom, AI Portrait Mode, and more. Beyond photography, the device brings advanced AI capabilities, including Erase Passers-by, AI Upscaling, and Image to Video, making content creation more seamless than ever. Moreover, the big 6000mAh battery on the Honor 400 Pro, with 100W fast charging support, ensures that your battery anxiety is kept at bay. The Honor 400 Pro flaunts a unique camera module on the rear that holds the 200MP AI-powered triple camera system. It has a flat front panel with minimal bezels and a pill-shaped cutout for the front camera. The corners and side rails are curved as well for a better overall grip. Besides this, you get a powerful stereo speaker system and IP68+IP69 dust and water resistance for enhanced protection. The Honor 400 Pro will be available in three beautiful colours: Lunar Grey, Midnight Black, and Tidal Blue. The smartphone sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It supports the DCI-P3 colour gamut and 3840Hz PWM dimming to ensure colour accuracy and no flickering at low brightness. The phone has a regular brightness of 1600 nits, which maxes out at 5000 nits – pretty good even for sunny outdoor conditions. Additionally, it gets an under-display fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, and support for NFC. The phone comes with a host of AI features, the most exciting of which is the AI Creative Editor . This tool allows you to erase passers-by from your pictures, upscale images to higher quality, and even convert still images into videos. These features are built directly into the gallery app, so you don’t need to open a separate application to use them. For instance, you can remove unwanted objects, passers-by, or photobombs using the AI Eraser . You can either manually erase elements with the brush tool or choose the \"Erase Passers-By\" option for automatic removal. AI Upscale is another impressive feature that revitalizes old, pixelated, and blurry images by significantly enhancing their quality. The AI algorithm intelligently fills in missing details, making older photos look sharp and vibrant. Then there’s the AI Face Tune feature, which allows you to fix a subject’s closed eyes in a picture – saving you from multiple retakes. A standout addition is the Image-to-Video feature, which transforms still images into small videos, letting you relive special moments. Even more impressive is the AI’s ability to generate hidden parts of a face in the video that were not visible in the original picture. The Honor 400 Pro also comes with AI superzoom which allows you to capture super clear pictures even at 50x zoom. This is made capable by Honor’s Telephoto Enhancement Large model which identifies objects, scenes and enhances every detail in the picture. Even at high zoom levels, images maintain exceptional sharpness and clarity. Beyond these, the phone also offers features such as AI Outpainting, AI Cutout, Remove Reflection, and more. AI Outpainting expands images by adding additional background details, while AI Cutout enables you to remove backgrounds, resize subjects, and make further edits effortlessly. These advanced tools empower users to create professional-grade edits with minimal effort. Now let us focus on the biggest highlight of the Honor 400 Pro, its camera system. On this device, Honor has deployed sophisticated AI-powered triple rear cameras, including a 200MP primary sensor with OIS and EIS, a 12MP ultrawide lens that doubles up as a macro, and a 50MP Sony IMX856 AI telephoto camera with OIS + EIS capability. At the front, there is a 50MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture to capture highly detailed portrait selfies. The 200MP camera system leverages the industry’s first edge-cloud AI-powered computational photography system, which improves edge detection, background blur, detail, texture, and colour accuracy in pictures. The 50MP telephoto sensor allows for 3x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom, while the ultra-wide sensor covers a 112-degree range for super-wide landscape shots. The camera app is also very versatile and lets you snap pictures at varying focal lengths. You can take portraits from 1x to 6x zoom. Other AI portrait features include Film Simulation, Harcourt Portrait Studio, and AI Enhanced Portrait. Powering the Honor 400 Pro is Qualcomm's high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The chipset is based on a 4nm manufacturing process with a max clock speed of 3.3GHz. For enhanced graphic performance, the Honor 400 Pro uses Honor’s proprietary GPU Turbo technology, which accelerates the graphics processing capability while optimising battery consumption. Meanwhile, Honor OS Turbo X, which is a system-level AI engine, optimises performance, gaming, while ensuring smooth functioning of all the AI features. Moreover, the phone also comes with a dedicated gaming engine to cater to gaming enthusiasts. The solid hardware on the Honor 400 Pro is backed by MagicOS 9.0, based on Android 15. It packs a huge 6000mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Showcasing an elegant design inspired by nature, the Honor 400 will be available in Midnight Black, Meteor Silver, Desert Gold and Tidal Blue, while the HONOR 400 Pro will be available in three colorways: Midnight Black, Lunar Grey and Tidal Blue. HONOR 400 Series will be available soon for pre-order at an exciting price and amazing gifts . READ MORE: HONOR and Google Cloud Strengthen Partnership to Revolutionize Intelligent Devices",

      • "content": "Apple Inc. is set to introduce an AI-powered battery management feature in iOS 19, aimed at extending iPhone battery life by learning and adapting to user behaviour, according to sources familiar with the matter. The new system, part of the broader Apple Intelligence platform, will dynamically adjust energy consumption based on how users interact with their devices. It will also feature a lock-screen indicator showing estimated charging time. The update is expected to roll out across all iPhones compatible with iOS 19 this September. This development forms part of Apple’s strategy to embed artificial intelligence more deeply into its core operating systems. The upcoming iPhone 17, which will reportedly feature a thinner design and smaller battery, is said to be the primary motivation behind the innovation. The AI enhancements aim to compensate for reduced physical battery capacity in the slimmer model. Apple is leveraging user data and predictive algorithms to fine-tune power usage across apps and system functions. While the company declined to comment, sources indicate this move underscores Apple’s goal to remain competitive in the fast-evolving AI space, amid challenges catching up with rivals like OpenAI and Google. The update also follows the delayed rollout of several Apple Intelligence features, including the next-generation Siri, which is still pending release. In addition to battery improvements, iOS 19 will introduce a new user interface internally dubbed “Solarium,” and tighter integration between iPad and Mac devices. Apple is expected to unveil the update at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on 9 June, with a public release in the autumn. The company is also developing an AI-powered Health app, code-named Mulberry, though it’s not slated for release until 2026.

      • "content": "Collaboration aims to revolutionize video production of advertisements in Japan TOKYO , May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent Cloud , the cloud business of global technology company Tencent , and Offshore Company , a subsidiary of PR firm Vector Group, which ranks sixth globally and first in Asia [1] , today proudly announced the launch of \" AvaMo ,\" Japan's first AI-powered avatar video generation service specifically designed for the Japanese market [2] . Powered by Tencent Cloud's advanced digital human creation technology, AvaMo enables the quick creation of professional-quality videos, dramatically reducing both production time and costs by up to 98% [3] —a true game changer for producing video advertisements. \"AvaMo\" is an AI video generation service developed by Offshore Company with technology provided by Tencent Cloud. The name \"AvaMo\" combines the words \"Avatar\" and \"Motion/Movie,\" representing its ability to create high-quality videos featuring AI avatars with natural movements. The service is versatile, catering to a wide range of use cases, including advertising, customer support, and educational content. Addressing the Needs of a Rapidly Growing Market The global AI video generation market has been rapidly expanding, with projections estimating its value at $4.1 billion (approx. ¥582.2 billion) in 2024 and $62.8 billion (approx. ¥8.93 trillion) by 2034, growing at a compound annual rate of 31.38% [4] . However, in Japan , AI-generated video and voice technologies are still in their infancy, with most applications focused on text and image generation. Comprehensive commercial use of AI in video production remains limited. While global services like \"Synthesia\" and \"HeyGen\" have gained traction, Japan lacks services optimized for the domestic market, particularly in terms of Japanese-language support, avatar designs tailored for Japanese audiences, and user-friendly interfaces. AvaMo fills this gap, offering a solution tailored for Japanese users—with Japanese avatars, voiceovers, and an intuitive UI—while also supporting multilingual and global business needs. Revolutionizing Video Production with AvaMo Conventional video production involves multiple steps: planning, scripting, storyboarding, filming, and editing—often taking weeks to months and incurring significant costs. AvaMo simplifies this process by integrating templates, AI avatars, and natural text-to-speech (TTS) technology, allowing users to create professional-quality videos with just a few clicks. Powered by Tencent Cloud's AI-driven digital human creation technology and Offshore Company's intuitive interface, AvaMo makes video production more accessible to enterprises in Japan . Key Features of AvaMo: UI/UX Design Optimized for Japanese Market Templates, audio, and avatar expressions are fine-tuned for Japanese users. AI voice technology reproduces authentic Japanese intonation. Avatar models reflect Japanese corporate culture and lifestyle nuances. Beginner-Friendly, Automated Workflow AI handles scenario creation, casting, filming support, and audio recording. Simple, click-based interface allows users with no prior experience to create compelling videos. Realistic Digital Human (Avatar) Generation Advanced AI generates lifelike avatars with nuanced facial expressions, lip-sync, and gestures. Avatars are created from short video samples (1–3 minutes), ensuring high-fidelity and real-time responsiveness. Versatile Templates and Custom Avatars Wide range of templates for advertising, branding, product demos, manuals, and more. Supports vertical video formats for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Over 120 avatar types available, with options for custom avatars [5] using personal face and voice data. Multilingual Support TTS supports English, Chinese, Korean, and more than ten other languages, facilitating cross-border campaigns. Prevention of AI misuse and Privacy Protection Strict adherence to ethical and legal standards, including user consent and dual-layer content moderation (AI + human review). Proactive measures against misuse, including account suspension and reporting to authorities for serious violations. Industry-Leading Security Offshore Company is certified for ISMS (ISO27001), ensuring robust data privacy and information security for all clients.

      • "content": "On Monday night, Samsung finally lifted the veil off the Galaxy S25 Edge. Just a few hours prior to that, I got to put my grubby little fingers all over it. At an event for media on Monday, I went hands-on with Samsung's latest flagship phone, part of a new wave of ultra-thin phones . The $1,099 Galaxy S25 Edge is honestly one of the easier new devices to explain to a layperson because its entire reason for being is that it's pretty much the same as the other Galaxy S25 phones , but a whole lot thinner. You get the same chipset, the same software features, similar enough camera specs, and a comparable battery, depending on which Galaxy S25 model you compare it to . The S25 Edge is available for preorder now from Samsung , Amazon , and Best Buy , though Samsung is offering a $50 discount and 256GB of bonus storage. The phone will be available starting May 30. Let's dig in. Samsung Galaxy S25 hands-on preview All three colors. The event I went to didn't include unlimited access to the phone, so I couldn't get benchmark scores, perform detailed camera tests, or anything like that. However, that's actually fine in this case because there isn't much new on the internal side for the Galaxy S25 Edge (again, that's kind of the point). Specs-wise, here's what you get: Compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung's top-of-the-line flagship that starts at $1,299, the Edge's specs are actually pretty similar. It's a bit smaller (the Ultra's display is 6.9 inches), but you get the same chipset, the same amount of RAM, and the same storage options, minus a 1TB option on the Ultra. Crucially, the same 200MP main rear lens from the Ultra is here too. However, you only get a 12MP ultra-wide lens (this was 50MP on the Ultra), and you don't get a telephoto lens at all on the Edge. So, no super-zoom. Look at how tiny that thing is. While detailed battery testing will have to wait, the size of the battery is an early concern. At 3,900mAh, it's a tiny bit smaller than the 4,000mAh cell in the base S25, and a lot smaller than the 5,000mAh cell in the S25 Ultra. Let's stop kidding around, though. The S25 Edge's specs are nice and important, but the selling point of this phone is what it looks and feels like, not what's inside. With just 5.8mm of thickness, it's a good deal thinner than the 7.2mm base S25. Its 163g weight is comparable to the S25's weight of 162g, though it should be noted that the S25 Edge is much taller and wider than that phone. What's it like IRL? There isn't much to say other than it's remarkably thin when you actually see and feel it. The height and width are just about at the upper end of what I consider acceptable, in the sense that I could feasibly use the phone full-time with just one hand if I needed to. But it's just so thin and light, especially considering the state-of-the-art chipset inside of it and the high-powered camera lens on the back. Needless to say, it feels good, but there isn't much to it beyond that. To be fair, Samsung leaked the hell out of this phone , so we've more or less known what to expect for weeks. Again, it's very small. While more thorough testing will have to come later, I should note that Samsung told me this phone has software parity with the other S25 phones. That means all of Samsung's recent AI features are included, too. It can't be said enough: The only thing separating the Edge from the other S25 phones is how thin it is. But that might be enough for some people. I welcome it after years of phones getting way too big and bulky. So, if you miss the smaller phones of years gone by, this one's for you.",

      • "description": "Galaxy S25 Edge features enhanced AI capabilities priced at $1099, aims to roll out across 30 countries",
      • "content": "Samsung Electronics has launched its slimmest flagship smartphone to date, the Galaxy S25 Edge, as part of a strategic effort to outpace rival Apple in the high-end smartphone market. The new model features enhanced AI capabilities and a sleek, ultra-thin design aimed at younger consumers seeking more portable devices. The S25 Edge, which will launch in South Korea on 23 May and in the United States on 30 May, is just 5.8mm thick and comes with a 6.7-inch display. Priced from $1,099, the device will be rolled out across 30 countries, including China and several European markets. “The feedback was clear – users wanted something slimmer and easier to carry without sacrificing performance,” said Samsung. The company reduced internal component thickness, including the printed circuit board and thermal systems, to achieve the slim profile. Samsung's Executive Vice President Moon Sung-hoon addressed concerns over performance and heat management, assuring users that the device includes a thinner, optimised vapour chamber to prevent overheating. The S25 Edge also introduces Samsung’s latest artificial intelligence features, including multimodal AI, allowing users to interact with their phone through both voice and vision in real time. Analysts say the launch was tactically timed ahead of Apple’s expected release of a thinner iPhone later this year. “By releasing the product a few months ahead, Samsung could inflict some impact on Apple and attract consumers looking for thinner smartphones,” said Ryu Young-ho, senior analyst at NH Investment & Securities. Samsung led the global smartphone market in Q1 2025 with a 20% share, narrowly ahead of Apple’s 19%, according to Counterpoint Research. However, the firm warned of potential shipment risks in Q2 due to global tariff uncertainties. COMMENTS Comments are moderated and generally will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive.

      • "content": "There’s a new contender in the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup , and it’s aimed squarely at the phone obsessives who want just a little bit less. With the ultra-thin S25 Edge, Samsung is officially celebrating the age of the thinner smartphone . The new Galaxy S25 Edge offers similar features to even the flagship S25 Ultra, only with a slimmer body. The Galaxy S25 Edge debuts as the fourth model in the series, lining up alongside the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra . Let’s not waste time: we're focusing on how the Edge compares to the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra in terms of price, specs, and overall performance. On paper, the quartet might look like close cousins. But dig a little deeper, and you'll find distinct differences that matter — especially if you're the type who geeks out over camera systems or counts every dollar. (You can also read up on our first-hand impressions of the new S25 Edge .) Here's how it shakes out: Meet the S25 Edge, the new ultra-thin Galaxy phone from Samsung. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra: Price Samsung is leaning into premium with the S25 Edge, which launches at a starting price of $1,099. That puts it above both the standard S25 and the Plus, but still shy of the Ultra’s $1,299 price tag. For the money, you’re getting 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM right out of the gate. S25 Edge: S25 Ultra: S25+: S25: If you're watching your wallet, the S25 is the obvious pick. It skimps on storage compared to the Edge and Plus, but still packs the same 12GB of RAM. And since all three models run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, performance is nearly identical across the board — unless you’re the kind of person who insists on squeezing every frame out of AAA mobile games. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs S25 line: Design Design-wise, the Edge — well, takes the edge. With curved sides, a sleek titanium frame, and a profile that’s both slimmer and just as light as the S25 and Plus, it’s clearly the more refined piece of hardware. That said, you’ll have to settle for fewer looks: the Edge launches in just three color options, while the S25 and Plus come in a rainbow of seven. The Edge also features a 6.7-inch display with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits — bigger than the base S25 and matching the Plus. All three have AMOLED panels, but the Edge gets an upgrade with new ceramic glass out front, adding a bit more durability (and flair) to its face. S25 Edge: S25 Ultra: S25+: S25: Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs S25 Ultra, S25+, S25: Camera For the mobile photographers — or just the friend in the group who always nails the shot (shoutout to you) — Samsung’s camera game is still strong across the board. But here’s the twist: to keep the S25 Edge slim and slick, Samsung made one major cut. Literally. The Edge drops one camera compared to its siblings. However, on balance, the average user won't miss much. The S25 Edge has the same 200MP main rear camera and all of the same AI photo editing features as the S25. So, while you do lose out on the ultra-wide and ultra-zoom lenses, it doesn’t exactly feel like a huge downgrade. Plus, that 200MP main sensor blows past the 50MP shooters on the S25 and Plus. Here's the quick breakdown: S25 Edge S25 Ultra S25+ S25 Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs S25: Battery and Performance The rear camera wasn’t the only casualty in the Edge’s quest for sleekness. Battery capacity took a hit, too. While the S25+ leads the pack with a hefty 4,900mAh cell, the Edge trims things down to 3,900mAh. The base S25 splits the difference at 4,000mAh. On paper, that might sound like a loss for the Edge, but battery life is more than just numbers. Early reviews peg the S25 and S25+ at around 14 hours of runtime. The Edge doesn’t have official estimates yet, but given its smaller cell, expect slightly less — unless Samsung’s software optimization pulls off something impressive. As for raw performance, all three phones are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, tuned for serious multitasking, mobile gaming, and AI-enhanced everything. You’re also getting top-tier memory and storage across the board: LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0, just like the S24 line. In other words, no one's getting left behind in the speed department. S25 Edge S25 Ultra S25+ S25 Which should you buy? The new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launches in three colors. If you’re all about value, the base S25 is hard to beat. It delivers flagship-tier performance, the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a solid camera setup at the lowest price point. The S25+ is the sweet spot for battery life and versatility, offering the best endurance and a more complete camera system thanks to that telephoto lens. And if you want true flagship performance, the S25 Ultra is for you. But if design, display, and pure camera power matter more to you than an extra lens or a few hundred milliamps, the S25 Edge earns its name. It’s sleeker, bolder, and packs that beastly 200MP sensor — though you’ll give up a telephoto and a bit of battery to get it. This is the model for people who want premium, but not Ultra-premium. Most importantly, the S25 Edge manages to offer a much slimmer body without sacrificing too many flagship features. So, if you had your eyes on the S25 Ultra but the price or size put you off, then the S25 gives you the best of all worlds.",

      • "content": "Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge, and just as the leaks foretold , it is one extremely slim device. Featuring a 6.7-inch QHD+ display, the Galaxy S25 Edge's ultra thin form factor measures just 5.8mm thick and weighs in at 163g (5.7oz). This slight, lightweight build means the Galaxy S25 Edge feels practically dainty in hand, especially if you’re accustomed to more hefty devices such as the 227g (7.99oz), 8.25mm-thick iPhone 16 Pro Max . Mashable briefly held the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, and even compared the phone's thickness to that of a leather belt. The phone was still around twice as thick, but the fact that there's even a reasonable comparison to be made was notable. Top: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Bottom: A leather belt. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's slim form even enables it to remain fairly thin if you add bulk in the form of a case. Using a case helps the S25 Edge lie flat when placed on its back, as without one its cardboard-thin design and dual protruding rear cameras enable the phone to seesaw considerably. This may not bother some, however it did have me uneasily envisaging the potential impact to its structural integrity if a reasonable weight were applied. Fortunately for those who prefer their phone naked, Samsung claims that the Edge is more resilient than its slight form may indicate. This includes curved edges, a titanium frame, and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 covering its back. Samsung focused heavily on the Galaxy S25 Edge's design, with its thin form factor the phone's main drawcard. Even so, the S25 Edge also aims to deliver comparable power to its non-Edge Galaxy S siblings, sporting the same Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The S25 Edge boasts a 200MP wide-lens camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP selfie camera. It also has an IP68 water resistance rating, allowing it to withstand being immersed in up to 1.5m (5ft) of freshwater for up to half an hour. The Galaxy S25 Edge's 3,900mAh battery isn't quite as big as the S25 Ultra 's 5,000mAh one, however Samsung states that its latest device should still have enough juice to last all day depending on your usage. It can also charge from zero to 55 percent in approximately 30 minutes. The phone has 12GB of RAM, with 256GB and 512GB storage options to choose from. Both sizes are available in all three colourways: Titanium Silver, Titanium Icyblue, and Titanium Jetblack. Top: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Bottom: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will start from $1099.99 and is available from May 30, with preorders open now.",

      • "content": "Even if you've never fallen victim to a tech support scam , you've likely been targeted. Have you ever gotten a pop-up, or a cascading series of pop-ups that crowd your entire screen, warning you that your device has been compromised and urging you to call tech support ASAP? If the unlucky victims who fall for these tricks give the scammers access to their computer, the perpetrators can plant malware, steal personal information, or even wipe out victims' bank accounts. Now, Google wants to use AI to stop these scams in real time for Google Chrome users. \"Chrome has always worked with Google Safe Browsing to help keep you safe online. Now, with this week's launch of Chrome 137, Chrome will offer an additional layer of protection using the on-device Gemini Nano large language model,\" Google said in a blog post . \"This new feature will leverage the LLM to generate signals that will be used by Safe Browsing in order to deliver higher confidence verdicts about potentially dangerous sites like tech support scams.\" According to Google's blog post, research shows that LLMs are particularly capable of detecting, understanding, and fighting tech support scams — before you even have to face them. By using LLMs on-device, Google doesn’t have to wait for users to report the scams and can instead \"see threats when users see them.\" \"We’ve found that the average malicious site exists for less than 10 minutes, so on-device protection allows us to detect and block attacks that haven't been crawled before,\" the Google blog post reads. \"The on-device approach also empowers us to see threats the way users see them.\" Basically, Chrome will evaluate pages using Gemini Nano LLM to see if the page has \"triggers that are characteristic of tech support scams\" like, for instance, \"the use of the keyboard lock API.\" Then, Chrome sends information about the page to Safe Browsing , which will determine if the page is a scam or not. If it is a scam, Chrome will show a warning. Cybercriminals are getting more and more creative every day, thanks in part to new AI tools. Now, tech companies are using their own AI systems to combat the onslaught of scams. Have a story to share about a scam or security breach that impacted you? Tell us about it.

      • "content": "Big Tech, Wall Street, small businesses, and consumers threatened by Trump's tariffs can now breathe a sigh of relief...at least for the time being. In the early morning hours on Monday, President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the U.S. and China had come to a temporary trade agreement while meeting in Geneva over the weekend. Most notably, this temporary deal will see both countries slash their tariffs for a period of 90-days while negotiations continue. According to the announced deal, the U.S. will lower Trump's reciprocal tariffs on goods coming in from China from 145 percent to 30 percent. China will also lower its tariff on U.S. exports to the country from 125 percent to 10 percent. Each side has basically knocked their tariffs down by 115 percent. The stock market surged on Monday morning based on this news. Tech stocks were especially on the move after the temporary trade deal announcement. Tesla and Amazon rose by more than 7 percent in the early hours. Apple stock also saw a 6 percent rise, followed by Meta and Nvidia stock at 5 percent. Electronics retailer Best Buy saw its stock surge by 10 percent as well. The original 145 percent reciprocal tariffs levied on China by Trump sent the stock market in a tailspin during a 4-day stretch in early April and created supply chain issues for tech companies looking to avoid paying the new reciprocal tariff for as long as possible – before inevitably passing on the additional costs to consumers. Trump's 145 percent tariff looked to be especially devastating for businesses in the electronics and technology space as many of those products are manufactured in China. Just earlier this month, for example, the security camera company Wyze shared that it had just paid $255,000 in tariffs for a $167,000 purchase due to Trump's trade war with China. While the 30 percent tariff is a huge drop from 145 percent, it should be noted that it's still higher than the flat 10 percent tariff from before Trump took office. And, of course, this is only a temporary, 90-day agreement between the U.S. and China. If negotiations fail going forward, businesses and consumers might be looking at more tariff woes in the months ahead.",
