Samsung’s foldables are going far and wide That right there is your first ‘look’ at Samsung’s first crack at expanding its range of Galaxy Z foldables, thanks to the folks at Android Authority. The device, rumours of which have floated around for several months now, will reportedly take the shape of the South Korean outfit’s Galaxy Z Fold, though with a far wider screen than before. The render was captured in some of the recent OneUI 9 builds, the next big update after OneUI 8.5 dropped. The animations depicted on Android Authority correlate to some of the first mentions of the ‘Wide’…

With the first half of February officially behind us, it’s time we started taking the Central Energy Fund’s (CEF) latest daily petrol price snapshots a little more seriously. Unfortunately, South Africa’s source for any upcoming fuel price adjustments hasn’t come bearing good news. In fact, it’s what we’d call bad news, if you can believe it. Take your time, March… We know the diesel drivers can. During the first batch of CEF predictions, which came about last week, the energy company teased a price increase for diesel drivers in March 2026. Petrol drivers, on the other hand, were led to believe…

If you actually use the Kindle Scribe range the way it’s meant to be used — as an overly large note-taker that happens to double as an ereader — then you’ll probably be keen to try out the new features Amazon has. Even if you somehow skipped the headline, anybody with half a brain could guess what’s being chucked in here. The Scribe gets smart(er) If you said AI, then well done. If you said something else, then you need to get with the times. Amazon is just one of many companies heaping more and more AI services onto its…

If you were already tucked in at midnight instead of tuning into PlayStation’s State of Play, we don’t blame you. If it weren’t for Sony promising more than 60 minutes of footage (and Nintendo’s own Direct leaving us a little starved), we’d have been right there alongside you. In the end, it was worth the (really long) wait. We’ve amassed all the biggest reveals, announcements, and trailers from the night. We realise we may have missed a couple of things from the full list, and that’s okay. We’ve skipped over some of those titles we’ve already seen at other such…

Not long after Nintendo teased what it’s got on the cards for 2026, PlayStation has followed suit. Yesterday, the Japanese gaming conglomerate announced its first State of Play of the year, promising more than 60 (?!) minutes of footage featuring “news, gameplay updates, and announcements from game studios across the globe.” A fool’s State of Play… Oh, and it’s taking place on Thursday, 12 February. This is the part when you add it to your calendar if you’re at all interested in checking out what’s in store for the year ahead. Daring Saffas will technically want to mark down 00h00…

Apple’s AirPod family has done just about everything it could without needlessly stuffing overpriced tech where it doesn’t belong. It was only a matter of time before the Fruit Company retroactively morphed these premium earbuds into AI-toting wearables, and now it seems like that time has finally come. A little early, for our liking. Ambitious AirPods That’s because Apple’s still having trouble getting its artificial intelligence ambitions off the ground without Google stepping in to help. If it can get that side under control, though, we’d be on board for what’s coming to the next generation of AirPods Pro –…

We wouldn’t say we’ve eagerly anticipated the arrival of voice and video calling powers on WhatsApp Web, but it’s certainly been on our radar for a good while. After WABetaInfo reported that the feature was being “refined” a couple of weeks back, it seems it is gradually rolling out to WhatsApp Web beta users. WhatsApp entangles the Web For years, WhatsApp’s web-based client has been a handy tool for users looking to access the messenger directly in a browser, no smartphone required. The only trouble was that it was for messages only, with voice and video calls requiring a phone or…

Right on schedule, the Central Energy Fund (CEF) has offered the country its first glimpse at the coming petrol price adjustments that are coming for motorists in March 2026. While everybody made off with a price decrease in February, that won’t be the case in the next few weeks, with the predictions teasing a diesel price hike on the way. The March of Progress (for some) Petrol drivers, on the other hand, may have a (minor) price decrease on the cards. If you’re unfamiliar with the CEF’s daily fuel price projections, it isn’t worth getting too excited just yet. The…

Keep your eyes peeled for the ‘new’ iPhone 17e It won’t be long until Apple unleashes its first wave of products for the year, which include a swathe of new iPads, Macs, and the iPhone 17e — replacing the Fruit Company’s budget-centric blower that emerged last year. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reckons the latter deviceis “due imminently” with the A19 chipset stuffed inside. That, along with MagSafe charging and Apple’s latest cellular and wireless chips, are the only upgrades buyers can expect to see for the new phone this year. There’s still no telling exactly when it’ll land on shelves, but Gurman…

It’s not often that Will Arnett gets a starring role in a movie (period) that isn’t aiming to leave you belly-laughing on the floor. Is This Thing On? takes that image of Will Arnett in your head that looks suspiciously like Gob Bluth and twists it, leaving behind Alex, a broken family man working through his depression using stand-up comedy as a crutch. Seeing as that was the whole point of Bradley Cooper’s comedy-drama, we’d say that’s pretty good. Perhaps a more obvious choice to star longside Will Arnett as the other half of the duo stuck in this loveless marriage…
