Mobile gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry. Most of the revenue comes from the freemium model (in-game purchases).

These devices offer top-of-the-line performance and the latest tech. But are they worth spending $1000 or more? | Samsung has launched its 2025 flagship lineup: the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. As expected, the company discussed its latest innovation in AI, collaboration with Google for Gemini, and its integration in One UI 7 throughout the majority of the event. There are some minor hardware improvements and upgrades as well, which we will also discuss in this article. But let us take a look at what’s unique to the new phones first. |
China is making significant strides in artificial intelligence and robotics, with the introduction of ‘Xiaotie’, the country’s first humanoid passenger service AI robot in the railway system. This innovative robot, developed by the China Railway Xi’an Bureau Group Co., Ltd., has officially taken office at the Xi’an Railway Station, marking a new era in travel services. Xiaotie’s debut coincided with the Spring Festival travel rush, providing much-needed assistance. | Samsung launched its Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro back in July last year with a major redesign. Instead of the rounded design of the first two generations, now it contains a stem. The Pro model also has a light strip, which gives it a unique look and differentiates it from the AirPods and other competitors. But as it turns out, Samsung isn’t stopping here. They have some pretty ambitious goals for the wearable. |
