We only recently finished reviewing the Galaxy A27. It had a pretty delayed launch compared to the rest of its Galaxy A family siblings, like the Galaxy A37, which came out all the way back in April. That’s just one of the explanations for the pricing faux pas the Galaxy A27 finds itself in. In the US, Samsung technically launched the A27 at $350, while running a promo for the A37 at $330 at the same time. That was quickly corrected with the A37 getting back its old price – $450, which coincidentally is exactly how much the Galaxy A57…

Meta has axed a controversial feature that allowed users to modify photos from public Instagram accounts using AI. The feature, which was rolled out earlier this week along with a batch of other AI tools, “missed the mark” and is no longer available, according to the company. Earlier this week, Meta announced Muse Image, a new AI image generator built by Meta Superintelligence Labs, its dedicated AI unit. Meta promoted one feature that allowed individuals to generate images by @-mentioning public Instagram accounts that they wanted to reference. The feature, which wasn’t designed to alert a user if their photos…

If you’re a gamer, Nvidia would like you to know that it still cares about you despite the fact that it’s been a bit busy with AI stuff these past few years. To that effect, the company has now announced the GeForce Trading Cards Series 1, which feature “some of GeForce PC gaming’s great moments”. See? It hasn’t forgotten about gaming, even though it’s probably only going to launch new GPUs for gamers next year. While you wait, you can grab the GeForce Trading Cards, which are free and have 14 possible designs, featuring the likes of the NV1, GeForce…

Phia, the shopping startup co-founded by Bill Gates’ daughter, Phoebe Gates, and Sophia Kianni, has been accused of a practice known as “cookie stuffing,” which may have helped the product receive commissions and credit for sales it did not actually generate, according to a Bloomberg investigation.  The report has sparked controversy and led to Phia’s suspension from Impact.com, a leading affiliate and influencer platform. Other startups have been sued over “cookie stuffing,” notably Honey, which is owned by PayPal and remains the subject of an ongoing class action lawsuit.  Founded in 2025, Phia has raised more than $40 million in…

Image Credits: OverchatI was always content with the type of balance I maintained with my AI-research-based writing: ChatGPT for writing, Claude for research, and Gemini for whatever Google’s app happened to be decent at that particular week. Three logins, three invoices, and I still ended up copy-pasting between all three more often than I’d like to admit, because none of them covered everything I actually needed.However, when I found Overchat AI Image Combiner, I was kind of stumped (and relieved). That’s because this app puts all of that behind one login. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now,…

Nothing unveiled the Nothing Phone (4b) earlier this week – this is the first (b) series phone, but it’s a mid-ranger not unlike the (a) series models. In fact, the (4a) is the better phone. The Nothing Phone (4b) has a 6.77” 1080p+ OLED display, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset and a 5,200mAh battery with 33W charging (for Europe, India is getting a version with a larger 6,000mAh battery). The 50MP main camera has a tiny sensor (1/2.76”) and is joined only by an 8MP ultra-wide camera – even the CMF Phone 2 Pro had a telephoto lens (but…
