Yesterday we heard that Samsung might be revamping its flagship naming next year, with the 'vanilla' Galaxy S26 model not launching, replaced instead with a Galaxy S26 Pro (on top of the rumors claiming the S26 Edge would replace the S26+).

It has the model number SM-S942U1, and SM-S942 has so far been associated with the Galaxy S26. Only now it seems that will be no more, as Samsung has in the meantime...

Meizu 22 teased with world's slimmest display bezels

Today, Meizu has started teasing the upcoming 22, a new smartphone that's going to have the world's thinnest screen bezels, according to the brand itself. The bezels will be identical in size on all four sides of the phone's screen, and each will measure just 1.2mm. We can't independently verify this claim as we don't go and measure every screen bezel out there, please keep in mind.

Expanding Mac mini M4 storage with the Beelink Mate Mini Dock (Thunderbolt 5): A hands-on test

The Mac mini is the go-to desktop for macOS users, and there's good reason for that. It's powerful, thanks to the M4 processor (and the M1 and M2 before it), it's also quiet and efficient because of that same silicon and its clever software optimization. But most of all, it's because it's Apple's most affordable computer, starting from just €699/£599/INR 59,900. That base price, however, comes with a huge caveat - on-board storage is a measly 256GB. And unlike other computers, you can't just upgrade that yourself. Purchasing the 512GB version from Apple would cost you $200/€250 more, which...
