One of Samsung’s Galaxy Ring has just caused a big safety risk for a user.
The brand’s tiny smart wearable gadget is under the spotlight after a Ring owner was rushed to a hospital due to a swollen battery issue. What’s worrying is that this might not be just an isolated incident.
Over the last couple of months, the Samsung Galaxy Ring users have reported on battery related issues they’ve been facing.
Read on to find out more.
 OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus 15 will be unveiled in October in China. The brand will also unveil the OnePlus Ace 6 sub-flagship phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The brand has now officially confirmed that the OnePlus 15’s global launch is also nearing. OnePlus’ global wing has confirmed that the OnePlus 15 will be available in a “Sand Storm” colour variant, inspired by desert landscapes. |  This year’s 17 Pro Max has arrived with full force. Not only does it feature the most powerful mobile processor, but its bezels have gotten narrower, charging speed has increased, and the camera module has been reshaped into a massive, rounded rectangle. You think I’m talking about the iPhone? Nope—I’m talking about Xiaomi’s 17 Pro Max. As a former Xiaomi fan, I remember the last time a model looked this similar to an iPhone in both name and appearance—it was the Mi 8. |
 The first renders of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra have surfaced, courtesy of Android Headlines in partnership with OnLeaks. From the front, the Galaxy S26 Ultra looks familiar. It keeps the flat display introduced with its predecessor, along with slim, uniform bezels and a centered punch-hole camera. The corners appear slightly softened, which should make the device feel less sharp in the hand. It’s not a dramatic change, but it’s noticeable nonetheless. |  Nothing’s smartphone lineup may be expanding once again. The brand announced the flagship Nothing Phone (3) model a couple of months ago, and now, it appears that new mid range models are also in the works. A new smartphone from Nothing was just spotted on the IMEI database carrying the A069P model number. While the official moniker of this device wasn’t revealed, this is likely the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro. Unfortunately, the listing did not reveal any finer details. |
