This Cooling Neck Fan Is Like Having My Own Personal Air Conditioner Everywhere I Go

This Cooling Neck Fan Is Like Having My Own Personal Air Conditioner Everywhere I Go

CNET4 days ago
At CES 2024, I went hands-on with the then-yet-to-launch Torras Coolify Cyber, and I could only imagine how useful it could be in the Delhi summers. Fast-forward to more than a year later, and I've used the wearable air conditioner more times than I can count. It has become one of my favorite gadgets to beat the heat.
This wearable neck fan normally goes for $300, but right now it's available for $222 on Amazon -- a 26% discount.
The Torras Coolify Cyber is a portable air conditioner worn on the neck. When I first used it, I was impressed by the comfort and air pressure but had doubts about how it would do in the long run and if it would overheat from prolonged use. I'm happy to report that I've been positively surprised and would carry it when traveling to hot, humid places.
It features an ergonomic design with a ceramic cooling plate on the part that touches your neck. It's immensely useful alongside the fan vents on hot days. The device didn't feel uncomfortable to wear. I could have it on for at least an hour at a stretch. You can also press and hold a button on the collar to switch to warm air for cold-weather conditions. You can choose from three fan settings for airflow and three temperature modes -- heat, fan and cool -- for the kind of air you need. It's an all-year gadget.
Portable, comfortable and easy to use
I live in Delhi, where the temperature can cross 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). In that heat, when you're indoors, your only relief is an air conditioner, but when I'm outside, the Torras Coolify Cyber is my go-to gadget. I could forget my phone but not this portable air conditioner. It can get sweaty and uncomfortable when you're active under the sun, but the constant cold airflow makes it manageable.
The Torras wearable AC is a must-have for anyone who gets uncomfortable with the weather outside and needs some relief from the ambient air. And with this limited-time deal bringing the price down to $222, now's a good time to give it a try.

Samsung Acknowledges Its 'Upcoming' Tri-Fold Phone on Earnings Call

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 may have just come out, but it appears the company is already teasing its next foldable phone that takes things to a whole other level. In an earnings call last week, which was shared by Seeking Alpha, Samsung noted it's pushing forward with its triple-screen foldable that's been rumored for months. It also acknowledge the imminent arrival of its Project Moohan mixed reality headset that it's developing with Google. Samsung reportedly said it's "preparing to introduce" the products this year. "We will drive sales of our premium mobile AI devices, including our newly launched foldables and aim to lead the market by expanding our ecosystem through innovative form factors like the upcoming Tri-Fold device and our first XR headset," the company reportedly said on the call. A representative for Samsung didn't immediately respond to CNET's request for comment. Now Playing: Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Samsung Finally Nailed the Foldable 07:14 Last month, Android Authority reported that a Samsung executive said the new foldable is "ready to go." That person reportedly told the publication: "We've had a tri-fold for some time, designed and everything. So it's not a new concept to us. What we're debating is the viability. When I say the viability, is there really a demand for this form factor?" It's an interesting consideration, as there arguably hasn't been overwhelming demand for thinner phones, and yet Samsung still debuted the slim Galaxy S25 Edge in May -- and then carried over that sleek design to the Z Fold 7. But it's possible that, as Samsung said when it debuted its latest book-style foldable, "feeling is believing," and people might be keen to get their hands on a phone that feels more innovative than many other devices currently on the market. Android Authority cites a South Korean publication that says the rumored tri-fold will have a 10-inch OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a triple camera system with a 200-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera -- just like the Z Fold 7. It could also have a 10-megapixel selfie camera. Rumors suggest it could cost around $3,000. It could first launch in China and South Korea before the company determines whether to extend availability elsewhere. Like thin phones, tri-folds are having a moment. Last month, Chinese company Tecno showed off its tri-fold concept, the Phantom Ultimate G Fold. There's also the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, which is available now outside the US. In a press conference during Samsung Unpacked in July, Roh Tae-moon, the acting head of Samsung Electronics' Device Experience Division, reportedly confirmed plans for the company to launch a tri-fold phone by the end of this year. The device has been dubbed the "Galaxy G Fold," though Samsung seemingly hasn't confirmed anything about that naming. "We are now focusing on perfecting the product and its usability, but we have not decided its name," The Korea Times quoted Roh. "As the product nears completion, we are planning to make a final decision soon." We'll see if Samsung ends up dropping more teasers in the coming months, like it did in the lead-up to the Z Fold 7.

TPG to acquire Australian automotive software firm Infomedia for over $420 million

(Reuters) -Australia's Infomedia said on Wednesday it has agreed to be acquired by the Asia-focused private equity arm of asset manager TPG for an equity value of A$651 million ($421.33 million). Under the deal, shareholders in the ASX-listed firm would receive A$1.72 per share, reflecting an over 30% premium as compared to the stock's close on Tuesday. Infomedia provides software as a service (SaaS) solutions for the global automotive and motor service sector, offering clients data-driven solutions. It counts global carmakers BMW, Audi and Cadillac among its customers, according to its website. The A$1.72 per-share offer sits close to what was offered for the firm back in 2022 by potential suitors from the United States. The cash consideration reflects an enterprise value of A$579 million, the company said. Infomedia is also allowed to pay its shareholders a fully franked dividend of up to 2 Australian cents per share for fiscal 2025 and a further special dividend of up to 2.9 Australian cents apiece.
