JLab is once again seemingly proving that “premium” doesn’t have to mean “overpriced.” At CES 2026, the brand revealed a fresh slate of gear that focuses on extreme portability and office-ready features.

Between January 5 and 9, the new lineup is being showcased at JLab’s suite in Caesars Palace, Julius Tower, giving attendees a first look at the smallest noise-canceling buds on the market. The JBuds Mini ANC is the clear star of the launch…
The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has launched two new smartphones in its native market — the OnePlus Turbo 6 and the Turbo 6V — both of which feature a gargantuan 9,000 mAh battery. In a market where phones over $1,000 feature 5,000 mAh batteries, the OnePlus smartphones set new endurance benchmarks. Let me give you some context. Samsung’s $1,049.99 Galaxy S25 Ultra features a 5,000 mAh battery (and the Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t expected to have any significant improvements in that area). The $1,199 iPhone 17 Pro Max (eSIM variant) sports a 5,088 mAh cell. When midrange phones outlast premium flagships…

Fresh leaks from Android 17’s Canary build suggest that Google is actively working on how notifications behave for locked apps. According to a new Android Authority report, notifications from apps protected by the operating system’s native app lock feature will still appear, but without the key information. For instance, if someone has locked WhatsApp, and there’s a new message while your phone is sleeping, a new notification from the app should still show up on the device (either on the lock screen or as a bubble at the top of the screen), but the message and the chat shouldn’t be…

The memory shortage crisis has already hit smartphones, and soon you’ll see the domino effect reach other consumer electronic products, including televisions (and possibly other home appliances). At CES 2026, Samsung’s co-CEO, TM Roh, told Reuters that “no company is immune” to the global shortage of memory chips. Given that Samsung’s smart TVs, especially the high-end models, use a fair amount of memory, the rise in component cost might soon show up in the price tag. LCD panel production cuts are adding new cost pressure Meanwhile, LCD panel manufacturers are also seeing constrained output (compared to the demand). According to…
