As we inch closer to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26, we move just as close to the launch of the company’s next pair of earbuds: the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4. We’ll get a look at the buds and their Pro companions at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, pencilled in for tomorrow night at 20h00. If you can’t wait that long, SammyGuru has spoiled some of the surprise by offering an in-depth look at what’s coming. Can we be best buds? @antonioig002 discovered several of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro’s features by digging through the latest Galaxy Buds app via an APK…

It’s been a busy weekend at WABetaInfo. Not only did it point out that spoiler tags were coming to Meta’s WhatsApp Messenger, but it also stated that the company would finally deliver message scheduling to the app. It’s about time. Telegram users have flaunted the feature for quite some time. Now, it’s WhatsApp’s turn. Arriving in…. The feature, labelled ‘Scheduled Messages’, was unearthed inside the WhatsApp beta for iOS 26.7.10.72 update. Users can type up a reply like normal, but only send it hours or even days later to the lucky correspondent. The feature is intended to function with individual chats…

It’s a pen! It’s an earbud! No, it’s… AI-powered speakers? We’ll take just about any excuse to dredge up the above image of OpenAI head Sam Altman and Apple’s former chief design officer, Jony Ive. That might be different if there were any other image — like of the supposed hardware the pair are developing — but so far, that hasn’t happened yet. Rumours have flown for months about what that product will eventually look like, ranging from a pen to some earbuds. Now, the story is changing again. According to The Information, it seems that the 200-strong team dedicated to bringing…

It won’t be long now before the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) is ready to adjust the country’s petrol and diesel prices for March. The latest data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF), captured on 19 February, reckons that motorists — particularly guzzling diesel — have a lot to fear in the coming weeks. Fuel prices stumble Of course, the CEF’s figures (found below) are not final and are subject to change. The energy company, in conjunction with the DMRE, tracks those economic factors that influence the price of fuel locally, providing Saffas with accurate, valuable insights into…

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 family is the talk of the town at the moment, so much so that fresh leaks revolving around the company’s budget and mid-range devices almost slipped under the radar. The Galaxy A37, joined by the Galaxy A57, initially targeted a mid-February release. Now, a new leak suggests it’s been pushed back into March. Samsung’s take on budget may be a winner this year It’s easy to see why. Samsung usually likes to get its flagship line-up out from under its feet in January. After January came and went with no Galaxy S26 reveal, it forced the South…

There’s nothing fun about joining a WhatsApp group chat right in the middle of a conversation. You can’t join in, and asking for a quick catch-up is arguably more embarrassing. Today, Meta announced that ‘Group Chat History’ is coming to the messenger, starting today, allowing newcomers to catch up quickly. Please do cite the deep magic to me, witch Meta reckons the feature is one of its most requested. “Group Message History remains end-to-end encrypted like all other personal messages, giving you a quicker, more private way to keep conversations flowing, with no more screenshots, and no more unnecessary message…

You likely can’t remember the last time DStv didn’t raid your bank account for a few extra bucks every April, all for the promise of Friends reruns. Many might think the hike is a foregone conclusion, but this year, MultiChoice is switching things up. For the first time in many years, it’s skipping the yearly price hike. Big win for DStv subscribers That’s down to MultiChoice’s new Groupe Canal+ leadership, which feels the move is necessary to correct course after the previous management frittered away money and bled subscribers. MultiChoice Group CEO, David Mignot, confirmed that DStv prices would not go…

On the surface, a WABetaInfo report concerning a possible UI redesign coming to WhatsApp Messenger may look harmless, but it may be an opportunity for Meta to be a little nefarious. More so than usual, we mean. It became clear a while back that the Facebook company intended to bring advertisements to WhatsApp, notably squished between your friends and family’s Status updates, just like Instagram. Three guesses where the Status tab is headed? What’s the App with all those ads? As spotted in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.26.6.9 update, WABetaInfo learned that Meta was looking to make status updates in the app…

The Nitro Deck 2 has some competition. Abxylute today unveiled two new Switch 2 controllers: the N6 and N9C — both of which can be picked up on Kickstarter now. While both look like stellar ways to play Mario Kart World on the go, it’s the N9c that interests us most with its nostalgic GameCube-like shape. It’s even purple. Abxylute unit That’s the one in the image above, by the way. It’s currently asking $120 (∼R1,930) on the company’s Kickstarter (though early birds can still nab a discount) before it’ll go home with you. It shares a lot of similarities with its N6 sibling,…

Now that folks have caught on to the whole ‘AI’ buzzword oversaturation thing, tech companies are shifting direction. AI wearables are the ‘new’ vision — literally, in the case of Meta, Google, and even Apple — whether they are a pair of smart glasses, a pendant, or earbuds. Meta’s the biggest proponent of the first, having sold more than seven million pairs of smart specs in 2025 alone. Now, it wants to slap some of that tech onto your wrist. It’s a bit Meta, isn’t it? That’s according to a report from The Information (via CNET), which claims that the company formerly known as Facebook had revived its…
