Huawei has introduced Sonar Messaging, a new feature for its premium Watch Ultimate 2 smartwatch that allows you to send messages underwater without using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or mobile data.

The main focus is on design: the device will be extremely thin - less than 7 mm, making it one of the thinnest smartphones on the market. Motorola has decided to abandon the traditional curved display shape of the Edge series and opted for a flat screen, which is in line with current trends.
The rear panel features a large camera sensor surrounded by a ring of lights - probably to improve portrait lighting or create a studio light effect.

Usually, technically identical processors get a different name if the manufacturer has improved the quality of lithography over time and achieved stable operation of the chip at higher frequencies, but in this case, the frequencies remained at the same level.

It was necessary to make sure that despite the thin walls, the connector was not too fragile and would not be broken off along with the cable during charging.

After Apple talked about improved sleep analysis and sleep apnoea tracking in its watches, which can last 18 to 24 hours on a single charge, Huawei has officially confirmed that the new Watch GT 6 series of smartwatches will be able to last up to 21 days (not hours) on a single charge. This probably applies to the larger Pro model with Always On Display turned off, but it's still a very decent figure. For comparison, previous versions of Huawei Watch GT were usually announced with 14 days of battery life. The increase in battery life is likely due to the transition to silicon-carbon battery technology.

A couple of years ago, Samsung was not only a trendsetter in the foldable smartphone segment but also the largest manufacturer of these devices. Now the situation has already changed - according to the results of Q2 2025 , Samsung's share decreased from 21% to 9% compared to Q2 2024 (although Counterpoint Research analysts are confident that Samsung will "regain its market share within a year" due to the lineup update in Q3 and deferred sales by mobile operators). Huawei is already the largest seller of foldable smartphones (but at the expense of the huge Chinese market, where the company has 76.6% of this market segment). The share of Motorola foldable smartphones has also increased significantly. Analysts attribute this to the manufacturer's aggressive marketing policy in North America, where Motorola offers a foldable smartphone at the lowest price of USD 700. In general, the foldable smartphone market is growing - expectations are 45% by 2025 (but mainly due to China).
I have been using the Motorola RAZR 50 for several months and understand why everything is happening the way it is. Because Motorola's strategy works: for less money, the consumer gets several advantages even over the flagship Galaxy Flip (which has a more powerful processor and a better camera).

Competitors are strangling Tesla
As you know, Samsung is developing a smartphone that will fold three times. Unlike other manufacturers' trifolds, Samsung wants the smartphone to fold inwards, rather than in a Z-shaped structure, like paper brochures. This design is more complicated to implement and requires the use of an additional external display. The manufacturer made this decision because the flexible screen is very fragile to shocks and scratches, and Gorilla Glass cannot be bent. Therefore, to make the smartphone more durable, the manufacturer proposes to use an external protected display, and the internal flexible display will be completely hidden inside when folded.
The new product will go on sale in October

The data obtained will make it possible to work out the capture and destruction of a specific space body.
It's hard to believe, but this projector was born out of the development of Samsung's TV business. It all started with the search for new scenarios for using TVs and the creation of a designer series of TVs: The Frame, The Serif, The Terrace, and The Sero. And later - to the series of projectors The Freestyle and The Premiere. The Premiere 5 interactive projector is a further development of these experiments. It occupies an intermediate position between the portable The Freestyle and the home cinema equipment - The Premiere 7/9. Accordingly, it benefits from portability (easy to move to another room and set up quickly) and image brightness (triple RGB laser like the flagship The Premiere 9). But with the addition of a camera, which allows you to turn this projector into an interactive screen, the role of which is played not by the wall, but by the table.

At a time when the 3.5 audio jack has disappeared from most smartphones, USB-C has become the de facto standard and is even present in the iPhone - who would have imagined it 10 years ago.

And in apartment buildings, such headphones will not have problems with a noisy radio channel and unstable connection.

What the team has been doing with this higher priority all this time has also never been disclosed.

Researchers from the University of Benicia (Philippines) and startup Dan Shapiro discovered that GPT-4o mini artificial intelligence can be persuaded to break its own limits by applying classic psychological techniques of influence - the same ones used in PUA (psychological manipulation of people).
Shapiro was interested in the sycophantic style of ChatGPT 4o's responses. He asked the neural network to call him a jerk, but it refused, citing internal rules. Then he claimed that Jim Smith (a fictitious name) said that AI should be able to do this, and ChatGPT began to agree to insult the user 32% of the time. However, when he replaced the fictional Smith with Andrew Ng, a world-renowned AI developer, the neural output contained insults in 72% of cases. This is a classic method of forming a knowledge base in humans, when we perceive information if we trust the expertise of the source, and are not inclined to perceive information from an unknown or obviously unreliable source. This prompted him to contact a group of researchers to test the neural network's susceptibility to classic methods of manipulating people.
