We first heard rumors that Samsung had a new battery technology in the works in late September and early October 2024. Now, a report from one of Samsung’s subsidiaries says that not only are those batteries on the way, but mass production will begin as early as 2026. These new oxide-based batteries have a density of 200 watt-hours per liter and are much closer to larger lithium-ion batteries, according to a report in the Korea Herald. Samsung hopes these batteries will replace lithium batteries, as the solid-state oxide batteries are safer, more efficient, and more flexible than existing technology. The…
Matt Murdock is ready for the MCU spotlight in the first trailer for the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again. Well, I will admit. It’s not entirely unpleasant seeing you again,” Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, says to Charlie Cox’s Murdock in a scene that mirrors the diner confrontation in Heat. Fisk is running for mayor of New York City, while Murdock, who is blind, prefers fighting crime as lawyer in the courts instead of being the vigilante Daredevil.

It’s a new year, and Motorola is kicking it off with two new Moto G phones. Both the new Moto G Power 2025 and Moto G 2025 are budget-friendly phones that look solid on paper, but the Moto G Power stands out with a unique feature.

The display has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for durability. It’s pretty standard stuff, but it’s also nice to have it on…
The OnePlus 13 has started receiving its first major software update post launch, and this is one quite heavy on changes. The most notable among them is the arrival of on-device AI chops courtesy of Google’s Gemini Nano model. Unlike Google’s Pixel 9 series phones, Gemini Nano is taking a rather modest approach with what it can pull off on the OnePlus flagship. The official changelog only mentions support for “AI features” in the Google Messages app. In reality, the AI trick we are talking about is Magic Compose, which drafts responses based on the context it has pulled from…
