The 'flagship-level' new OnePlus Buds 4 are already on sale at a virtually unbeatable price
$30 off (23%) True Wireless Earbuds with Real-Time Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, Flagship-Level Sound Quality, 11mm Woofer, 6mm Tweeter, 3-Mic AI Call Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth 5.4 with Steady Connect, Hi-Res Audio, LHDC 5.0, IP55 Water and Dust Resistance, Up to 11 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 45 Hours of Battery Life with Charging Case, Google Fast Pair, Dual Connection, Storm Gray and Zen Green Color Options, ONEPLUSBUDS4 Promo Code Required Buy at OnePlus At their newly reduced price, the non-Pro OnePlus Buds 4 are an objectively smarter buy today than the only slightly more impressive OnePlus Buds Pro 3, which are currently on sale for $149.99 after a decent $30 markdown of their own. It's difficult to recommend the likes of Samsung's Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, Apple's AirPods Pro 2, or Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 as well at their current prices when the OnePlus Buds 4 offer similarly premium sound, similarly powerful active noise cancellation, and excellent battery life of up to 11 hours between charges (with ANC switched off) or as much as 45 hours (!!!) with the bundled charging case factored in.
Fairly stylish and almost surprisingly comfortable during the lengthiest music listening sessions, the OnePlus Buds 4 come with solid IP55 water and dust resistance too, essentially ticking all the right boxes to feel like one of the greatest (wireless audio) bargains of the summer.
There are no words on how long this launch deal will last, by the way, but if I were to guess, I'd say you probably don't have more than a few days to save 30 bucks on your favorite of two decidedly eye-catching colorways. The "Zen Green" flavor is my personal choice, but I can totally understand if you find the "Storm Gray" option more visually appealing. Either way, it's what's on the inside that counts the most.

Samsung boasts impressive durability of Galaxy Z Fold 7's OLED panel with rigorous fold test
Samsung Display is putting durability front and center in its latest foldable OLED panel, claiming the technology can now handle 500,000 folds without failing. That's a significant leap from the previous benchmark of 200,000 folds, and Samsung is using this milestone to showcase the long-term reliability of the display featured in the Galaxy Z Fold panel's durability was verified by Bureau Veritas, a global testing and certification company. According to the results, the OLED panel withstood half a million folds during a test period of 13 days at room temperature (25°C or 77°F) and remained fully functional. For context, 500,000 folds would translate to more than 10 years of use for typical users and over six years for those who fold their device more than 200 times a Display says this improvement comes from a new internal shock-resistant structure inspired by the way bulletproof glass is designed. Bulletproof materials typically use multiple layers of reinforced glass and plastic films to disperse energy. Samsung applied a similar principle by increasing the thickness of the Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) on the panel by 50 percent and introducing a new high-elastic adhesive between each layer. The adhesive reportedly offers four times the recovery performance of the previous material. Samsung shows off the durability accomplishment achieved on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . | Images credit — Samsung Additionally, a new structural design helps distribute shock evenly, while a titanium support plate has been added behind the panel. Titanium is stronger and lighter than conventional materials, allowing for improved protection without increasing bulk. Samsung states the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the first Samsung foldable to feature this upgraded panel, and it marks the seventh year since Samsung launched its first foldable OLED devices. Hojung Lee, EVP and Head of Mobile Display Product Planning at Samsung Display, said the company sees this as a key step in building consumer trust in foldable durability. We have covered previous generations of Samsung foldables, including fold tests conducted by third parties and user-reported concerns about crease visibility and long-term wear. This latest test, if reflective of real-world use, may help ease some of those concerns for buyers holding out for improved the Z Fold7's panel appears more durable than ever, real-world use will ultimately show whether Samsung's lab claims hold up. Still, this is a meaningful step toward making foldable smartphones a more practical choice for long-term daily use.

OnePlus and Oppo's next move may be a premium and compact Android tablet
Referential image of the OnePlus Pad. | Image credit — OnePlus OnePlus and Oppo may be planning a new chapter in their tablet strategy, with both companies rumored to be working on compact Android tablets powered by a next-gen flagship chipset. According to a leak posted on Chinese social media by the reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the tablet will feature Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is expected to be formally announced in September under the name Snapdragon 8 Elite OnePlus version of this device is reportedly slated to launch sometime in the first half of 2026, alongside the OnePlus 15T. That phone is expected to succeed the OnePlus 13T and could feature a 6.3-inch display. If this timeline holds, it would be one of the first Android tablets to use Qualcomm's next-generation high-end chip. Image credit — Digital Chat Station on Weibo Both versions of the tablet — from OnePlus and Oppo — are said to include an 8.8-inch display, making them smaller than the companies' previous tablets, such as the OnePlus Pad (11.6 inches) and the Oppo Pad 2 (also 11.6 inches). While no other specs have been confirmed yet, this new form factor suggests the two brands may be targeting the compact premium tablet segment, potentially in competition with Apple's iPad mini or Lenovo's high-performance Tab Extreme the close relationship between Oppo and OnePlus, it is not surprising to hear that the two might be developing similar hardware under different brand names. The two companies have previously released nearly identical devices with minor software or design differences, such as the Oppo Pad 2 and OnePlus Pad, which were both released in 2023 and featured the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 we still don't have pricing or a detailed spec sheet, the timing of the launch — well after Qualcomm's chipset announcement — suggests both tablets may arrive in early 2026. That could give OnePlus and Oppo a chance to position these models against competitors' next-gen tablets, including Samsung's expected Galaxy Tab S11 lineup and whatever follow-up Apple has planned for the iPad mini. As always, we'll be keeping an eye on this development and will share more once specifications, design, and regional availability become clearer. For now, the idea of an 8.8-inch Android tablet with top-tier internals is something that will likely appeal to users who want a compact yet powerful slate without having to jump to the more expensive or larger tablet options.

Apple iPad 11-inch A16 (2025) review
It's the most popular tablet in the whole world. It's the OG tablet reimagined. It's the 11th Gen iPad. We were unsure of the best way to refer to this model, as it goes by several names - the iPad 11-inch, the iPad (A16), or the iPad (2025) - so we ultimately opted to use all of these terms collectively and interchangeably. But regardless of the name you use, the new Apple iPad (2025) looks just like the previous one, only faster and with more storage. And that about sums this review. Thank you for your attention. Feel free to skip to other areas of our website. Okay, we're joking (clearly!), but this old joke still hasn't lost its appeal. The mainstream iPad models have never been about cutting-edge hardware, but about offering a nice overall experience at a lower price point (which is not that low in universal terms). But since we are dealing with an Apple device here, we'd say the new iPad is getting the best from Apple's iPad OS capabilities at a very reasonable price. There is support for Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, Center Stage calling, and just enough oomph for a good gaming experience on the go. The only differences between the new iPad and the previous 2022 iPad model are the chip and the memory – it's now the Apple A16 Bionic with 6GB RAM, up from the A14 Bionic with 4GB RAM. The base storage has now been doubled to 128 GB. Okay, technically, the screen has grown from 10.9 to 11 inches (hence one of the monikers) - it's still an IPS LCD screen with 1640 x 2360 pixels and 60Hz refresh rate. The rest of the hardware package hasn't budged this year – a 12MP rear camera, 12MP front camera, a large battery (about 29Wh) with charging that's supposed to be fast on paper. The slate ships with iPadOS 18 with multi-tasking and pencil support.

Misc: Fingerprint reader (top-mounted); stereo speakers, DisplayPort output over USB‑C. And since we're living in Apple Intelligence times, we'll point out it's odd to see a brand new device release without any support for their AI system. Oh well, it is what it is. That has to be the only notable omission from the iPad's specs sheet. We don't suggest this tablet is perfect, but everything else is par for the course, so to speak. We admit we may be a bit late with this review, but better late than never, as they say. Unboxing the iPad Air 11 (2025) The iPad ships inside a thin white box that contains the tablet itself and a braided USB cable. That's it. There is no charger inside, at least not in Europe. Page 2
