Daily Tech News & Insights, Every Weekday.

Good morning, tech folks! ☀️ I hope you had a good weekend.

This weekend, we got our first real look at Samsung's ultra-slim Edge, while Oppo is trying to crack the foldable mainstream code.

Meanwhile, Casio's going green with bio-based G-Shocks, Samsung's struggling with updates, and we're diving deep into iPhone 16e's compromises.

Here's what you'll find in today's tech roundup:

Read on for all the details!

A leaked video has given the first real look at Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, which was showcased at the Galaxy S25 series launch event held last month.

The hands-on footage, originally posted by YouTuber Alexis Garza, compared the device to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and revealed its slim profile. The video, which has since been taken down, highlighted its ultra-thin design and key hardware details.

Foldable phones have come a long way from their clunky, first-gen iterations. But let’s be real—most still come with trade-offs. They’re either too bulky, too fragile, or just not practical enough for everyday use.

Oppo’s Find N5, however, feels like a major leap forward. With an ultra-slim design, a significantly improved hinge, a battery that actually lasts, and AI-driven multitasking, Oppo’s latest foldable might just be the one that makes foldables mainstream.

Casio has released two new G-Shock models in the UK—the GW-5000HS-7ER (white) and GW-5000HS-1ER (black)—combining the brand’s iconic durability with eco-friendly upgrades.

Priced at £279 (~$353), the watches retain the square design of the 1983 original but integrate modern sustainability efforts, including bio-based resin components. The bezel and band of both models now use bio-based resin, derived partly from renewable resources.

We are just a week away from entering March 2025, yet Samsung hasn’t updated a single Galaxy device to stable One UI 7. The brand hasn’t even announced a rollout timeline as to when Galaxy owners can expect to receive the update.

This is really disappointing from a company that has raised the bar high for software updates in recent years.

After months of rumors, Apple finally released the iPhone 16e as its latest budget iPhone model. It arrives as the most affordable option in the iPhone 16 lineup and is a spiritual successor to the iPhone SE series as well. But for a slightly more affordable price tag, Apple had to cut corners on this new device.

So here’s a list of all the missing features and whether it is worth buying.
