A Galaxy S26 Ultra camera leak is making a very specific pitch: people photos that look more like the person in front of you, not a warmer, yellow-leaning version. The claim comes from a post by tipster Ice Universe, and it suggests Samsung is tweaking both its color tuning and the camera’s optics. The same leak says Samsung has cut lens flare with an updated lens and revised coating. That’s not the kind of change you brag about in a keynote, but it can decide whether a portrait looks crisp or slightly hazy when a bright window, streetlight, or neon…

The year 2025 was pretty wholesome, if you ask my tech-obsessed heart.

The iPhone 17 emerged as the sleeper hit, while the iPhone 17 Pro saw Apple back to its swashbuckling ways. It gave us phones such as the Vivo X300, which truly redefined what a palm-friendly phone can accomplish. Samsung, not one to sit on the bench, wowed us with the Galaxy Z TriFold that truly embraced the hybrid phone-tablet vision.…

A fair few phones fell into hands of tech YouTuber Zack Nelson this year, with each and every one of them subjected to his rather brutal durability test. The multi-faceted though somewhat unscientific test that Nelson performs for his JerryRigEverything channel involves taking various hard-edged tools to the surfaces of each phone, as well as covering them in grit, and holding a naked flame to the displays. Finally, Nelson uses his bare hands and brute force to bend the phones to test their structural integrity. Some stay intact. Some crack. Some break apart. Just recently, Nelson tested Samsung’s first-ever TriFold…
