    I’m Enamored With the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max’s Rear Second Screen - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is officially the first phone-maker to use Qualcomm’s freshly unveiled premium chipsets in its new flagship phones. The Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max were announced on Wednesday in Beijing and are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, respectively, making them two of the most powerful smartphones on the market right now. But that market is initially limited to China, although a global launch for the phones will take place before the end of 20

    Traveling to China? Here Are the Apps You'll Need to Survive - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    So, you’re going to China and you need to get your phone in order, but you don’t know where to start. That was me, a month ago. Now I’ve been there, for a week of work and another week of personal travel in and around Shenzhen. In that time, I got a good grasp on the ecosystem of apps and mini-apps. Enough, at least, to get you started if you’re venturing to China anytime soon. Most people will be aware – but I’ll say it here just in case you’re not – that many US-based apps and services aren’t

    Apple Might Be Late to the Party, but the iPhone Duo Is Still a Breakthrough Moment for Foldables - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Did you hear that Apple just invented the foldable phone? I kid, I kid — most other phone-makers have been making foldables for years, and just to be clear, I’m well aware of that. Apple does have a tendency to present existing technology to us as though we’ve never seen it before, but in the case of the iPhone Duo, which the company announced during its September iPhone event on Wednesday, it didn’t lean too heavily into this strategy. Instead, it focused on how the familiar iPhone experience w

    From Wearables to Robots to Tabletop Trinkets, the AI Hardware Scene Is Booming - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Stand-alone AI devices didn’t get off to the best of starts. Just to recap, I’m referring to the Humane AI Pin, which crashed and burned before it ever really took off, and the Rabbit R1 minicomputer, which arrived a little underbaked. Both devices were products of 2024, and when they failed to live up to the initial hype, it seemed like dedicated AI devices had hit an early dead end. But perhaps we were too quick to write them off. Two years on from their rise and demise, the AI hardware scene

    Welcome to Your Keyboard-Free Future. This Jazzy AI Microphone Is All You Need Now - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For years, tech companies have been telling us that voice will eventually supersede touchscreens as the primary way we interact with our technology, but it’s never quite happened — and I’d come to doubt whether it ever actually will. At IFA in Berlin, I saw something that made me think again. A team of folks who left design-forward British tech startup Nothing have created an AI microphone that takes us at least one step closer to our voice-controlled future. About the size of a small lighter, t
