Read on for all the details!

Huawei’s latest foldable, the Pura X, is officially on sale in China starting today. Unlike the book-style or clamshell foldable that dominate the market today, the Pura X introduces a sideways folding design, creating a wider aspect ratio when unfolded.

Here’s what you need to know about its pricing, availability, and standout features.

OpenAI recently upgraded ChatGPT’s image-generation feature with the 4o image-generation model, where it not only generates an image from a text description but can also modify an existing one based on a text description.

A special feature introduced as part of this development is the ability to generate Ghibli-style pictures based on a photo the user uploads.

But users have been facing problems lately.

Corning, the company behind the screen protection found on most smartphones, has introduced its latest innovation, the Gorilla Glass Ceramic. The new glass is designed to improve drop resistance and reduce cracked screens without compromising clarity.

As the name suggests, Gorilla Glass Ceramic incorporates ceramic materials, which Corning claims make it more impact-resistant than traditional aluminosilicate glass.

Nothing has just shared an interesting new teaser that hints at four new devices. The company shared a tweet that hinted at the codenames of these upcoming gadgets, which might include a smartphone, smartwatch, hearables, and more.

The company shared a tweet with an image on its official community forums. Here, Nothing shared images of four Pokemons, which included Bulbasaur, Girafarig, Hoothoot, and Gligar.

Recent leaks suggest a major camera upgrade for the Sony Xperia 1 VII, along with an unexpected nod to the Walkman brand.

A trusted insider from the Xperia community has now dropped some interesting information, suggesting Sony’s 2025 flagship—possibly launching in May or June—could pack a much-improved telephoto. Unfortunately, the US availability remains uncertain.
