Samsung has recently unveiled a special Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition, just in time for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. This limited handset is being distributed to almost 3800 athletes and Paralympians from 90 countries and will not be available in regular stores. They’ll begin handing out the phones on January 30th at Olympic Villages in six host towns, with Samsung staff on hand to set them up, transfer data, and answer any questions.
Arin Sarkisian came upon a pair of PineBuds Pro wireless earbuds and was drawn to them not just for their audio quality, but also because they are an open-source device from Pine64. These earbuds now have a BES 2300YP chip, which contains two dual-core Cortex-M4F chips, 992k of RAM (after some tinkering), and 4MB of flash memory.
Nissan engineers thought it would be a good idea to explore a concept that combined electric mobility with renewable energy. They chose the Ariya, an all-electric crossover noted for its silky smooth performance and ample interior capacity, and added some solar panels to it. This concept vehicle stands out because it has solar cells all over the hood, top, and rear, and you can’t tell they’re there because they don’t interfere with the elegant lines that make the Ariya so sleek.
Analog phones have a certain weight to them because they feel good in your hand, with a satisfying mechanical click of the dial or buttons and the distinctive ringing sound that can be heard across a room. In a world dominated by screens and applications, these noises can be almost nostalgic. But there’s a clever approach that brings them back to life without using an external service or an internet connection.
The Bigme B10 proudly claims to be the world’s most powerful 10-inch color E-ink phone-tablet, and it has every right to do so. It packs a MediaTek Dimensity 1020 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage into a frame that remains very compact. It ships with Android 14 out of the box, allowing you to access all of those millions of apps while still providing all of the benefits of E-ink, such as a reading experience as near to paper as possible.
For many old-school platformer fans, the wait for a good remake of the legendary Nintendo 64 title from 1998, “Banjo-Kazooie,” has been an interminably long time, and yet, even after thirty years, the game still holds a special place in the hearts of many. It has kind of languished away on old hardware or within the Nintendo 64 emulation scene, and this has all come to an end with the release of a PC port, titled “Banjo: Recompiled,” courtesy of several dedicated modders.
This Intel prototype from 2006 is an early engineering sample for the Ultra-Mobile PC category. Believe it or not, the device was found at a flea market for $20. This unique piece bears markings indicating that it is Intel proprietary property and is not for sale or leasing. It serves as a software development platform designed to assist developers in building programs for the forthcoming UMPC standard.
The DJI Mini 4K Fly More Combo, priced at $289 (was $389), remains the best option for anyone starting out in 2026 or seeking for a little drone that gets the job done without being overly difficult. People continue to rave about it as the go-to solution regardless of skill level, and with good reason: it truly stands out.
A bicycle wheel with ropes instead of spokes seems like a prescription for catastrophe, but someone has managed to design one that rolls, retains tension, and can support the weight of a rider touring over rugged terrain. The end effect is stunning, halfway between the DIY inventiveness of a backyard shed and a genuinely innovative rethinking of how wheels work.
