According to a new report by the The Elec, Samsung has started testing the new teardrop hinge for its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold5 smartphone, expected to launch in the second half of this year, presumably August, as usual.

The teardrop hinge is a commonly used design that lets the axis roll on itself inside the hinge and has several advantages. It reduces the gap between the two halves of the phone as well as minimize the wrinkles on the screen.

During this year’s CES 2023, Samsung demonstrated a new hinge design that’s 14mm thin as opposed to the current implementation measuring 15.8mm…

As charging speeds continue to grow each passing month, more makers are looking to get past the 200W threshold and now Infinix is gearing up to launch a phone with 260W wired charging.

We received an image of the upcoming Infinix 260W Thunder Charge charger. The charger is placed next to a phone that resembles the Infinix Zero Ultra which launched with 180W charging capabilities. The new 260W charging system will reportedly bring a four-way 100W charge pump and an AHB (Advanced High-Performance Bus) circuit design with safe charging control.

Our source also mentions that Infinix is…

The team consulted the current academic research…

Microsoft is a big proponent of OpenAI’s ChatGPT product and has already embedded it in Bing and Edge as well as Skype. The most recent update to Windows 11 brings ChatGPT to the search box in the OS’ task bar too. This is only the beginning – OpenAI just announced that ChatGPT and Whisper are available to developers through its APIs.

After some extensive optimizations, using ChatGPT costs 90% less than it did in December. This means that the gtp-3.5-turbo model (which powers the ChatGPT you may have used) now costs $0.002 per 1,000 tokens. To put it another way, you can get 500K tokens…

Both the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy A34 have been rumored, leaked, and speculated upon for months at this point, and yet neither device is official. That might finally change later this month.

According to prominent (and prolific) leakster @OnLeaks, a “quite reliable source” says the two devices will be unveiled on March 15. It’s unclear at this point if Samsung will hold an event for the occasion or simply issue a press release and be done with it. The former might be more appropriate, however, since the A5x series is Samsung’s best selling.

OK… I won’t vouch this one by 100% but I…
