It’s a Sunday morning, and I’m sitting here staring at something that shouldn’t, by the laws of physics or common sense, actually exist. It’s the Honor MagicPad 4. Now, if you’ve been following my ramblings on Coolsmartphone for a while, you’ll know I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with tablets. Mostly because they usually end up being expensive trays for my morning tea or glorified Netflix machines for the kids. But Honor has been on a bit of a tear lately, and after the MagicPad 3—which was “alright” but swapped out a lovely OLED for an LCD (a…

Honor launched its new foldable, the Honor Magic V6, with a massive 6,600 mAh battery and a new sturdy hinge ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. The Chinese company has been obsessed with proving that it makes the thinnest foldables. This year’s version is 4mm thick when unfolded and 8.75 mm thick when folded. Compared to last year’s Magic V5, which was 4.1 mm thick when unfolded and 8.8 mm thick when folded. We are talking very thin shavings here, but that helps the company make those claims. The battery is possibly one of the most impressive…

PerplexityWhat is Perplexity Computer? As a working mom who writes and experiments with AI tools daily, I can’t ignore the irony: the more powerful these systems get, the more time I spend comparing models, refining prompts, and fact-checking outputs. AI doesn’t automatically save time if it adds layers of choice — and it definitely doesn’t save time if I’m bouncing between models and manually reviewing everything for accuracy.And that’s where Perplexity Computer comes in. Announced late last night, the internet is already buzzing about this new platform that Perplexity describes as a “general-purpose digital worker.” Instead of a single model…

Introduction and specs For yet another year, Xiaomi is bringing the smaller vanilla Xiaomi 17 flagship alongside the Ultra model globally. The 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max remain China-exclusive for now. But for anyone out there looking for a compact, yet powerful smartphone, that’s good news.

Once again, the compact Xiaomi flagship is equipped with the latest top-tier Qualcomm chipset, which in this case is the…

By CEO Sam Altman’s own admission, OpenAI’s deal with the Department of Defense was “definitely rushed,” and “the optics don’t look good.” After negotiations between Anthropic and the Pentagon fell through on Friday, President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s technology after a six-month transition period, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said he was designating the AI company as a supply-chain risk. Then, OpenAI quickly announced that it had reached a deal of its own for models to be deployed in classified environments. With Anthropic saying it was drawing red lines around the use of its…
