The Honor Robot Phone is officially out of the teaser phase and on full display at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, and what a show it put on. A functioning prototype was on display, demonstrating a smartphone with a camera attached on a small robotic arm, rather than just an afterthought to make the phone look flashier.
Alibaba has just taken a significant step forward by introducing a line of small AI models that will fit perfectly into your existing smartphone. Qwen 3.5’s smaller cousins pack a punch that used to take a full server configuration to deliver, and even the smallest of them will work flawlessly on your iPhone 17.
Liquid oxygen is used in rockets and treated with care in laboratories, but it’s not something that people think about in everyday life. Except for one maker who was interested as to why this was the case, so he decided to make some at home and examine what makes people so cautious about it.
Donut Lab, a Finnish company, recently released some impressive test data demonstrating how their solid-state battery handles extreme temperatures that conventional lithium-ion cells would struggle to deal with. The test results come from a series of measurements conducted by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, a respected, government-backed research organization. They needed to figure out precisely how high the heat could reach before this Donut Lab cell, rated at 3.6 volts and 26 amp-hours, blew up in smoke (or some other way), so they decided to put it through its paces.
In terms of fit and feel, Apple’s earbuds have always been a source of contention. Some swear by the sealed tips on the Pro models for keeping everything out, while others prefer the normal versions to prevent the uncomfortable plugged-up feeling.

Pokémon turns 30 this year, and the Pokémon Company wants to give its followers a little something to celebrate. They created the Game Boy Jukebox, which is a modest tribute to the original Game Boy. It’s a device that pulls music directly from Pokémon Red and Blue. We’re talking 45 tiny mini cartridges buried in the box, each with a single track or sound effect from the original 1996 games.

Matthew Perks has truly outdone himself with his new invention, a highly portable powerhouse surrounded by one of the world’s brightest LEDs. The device, known as the LED supernova, takes 1.5 kilowatts of power and converts it into a dangerously eye-searing 120,000 lumens, all in a compact box weighing only 25 kg and remaining (amazingly) portable.
