Lazy loading is not a new concept by far. The idea is simple – defer loading some of the heavier elements of a page until the lighter ones are loaded. That way, the user can start interacting with the content sooner rather than later. Since 2019, Chrome and Chromium-based browsers have had lazy loading for images and iframes. Both types of elements will only start loading once the user scrolls close to them on the page. Google has announced that it is currently testing expanded lazy loading that also includes video and audio elements. That is to say, multimedia content...

A new report from China is confident that the upcoming iPhone Fold will feature a 3D printed hinge to help bring the crease on its folding display to a minimum. This is the first time that we’re seeing specific details about 3D printing used on the iPhone Fold’s hinge, which has so far been rumored to also feature liquid metal as well as dual-layer glass. Oppo Find N6 features a Titanium Flexion Hinge created using 3D Liquid Printing technology It wouldn’t exactly be a breakthrough as Oppo’s Find N6 already pioneered this approach on its second-generation Titanium Flexion hinge.

This Sunday marks the 5-year anniversary of LG officially exiting the smartphone business. That wasn’t quite the end of the story – the company wouldn’t stop making phones until the end of May 2021. However, on April 5, 2021, the company officially confirmed that its board of directors had approved the decision to shift focus away from phones. LG sold off its remaining phone inventory with a promise to put out software updates for its final models. And it did – the LG Wing received Android 13 in April 2023 (it originally launched with Android 10). At the same time, the company announced a...

It has been just a couple of weeks since the first discounts for the Galaxy S26 series and now we’re seeing even bigger price cuts. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A57 and A37 launched earlier this week, but the Poco series is offering some stiff competition to both A and S phones. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with 512GB storage is now €1,185, which is €45 less than it was two weeks ago. Since then, we have published a comparison with the S25 Ultra and an S26 Ultra vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max article. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra ...

The Samsung Galaxy A37 shares a lot of its core specs with the A57, but is €100/$100 cheaper, which isn't insignificant. Like its more expensive peer, the Galaxy A37 ships with a USB-C cable and SIM tool - no case, and no charger. What the Galaxy A37 is giving up to be cheaper than the Galaxy A57 may not matter all that much to you. The Galaxy A57 has a faster Exynos 1680 SoC, 8/12GB of RAM vs 6/8/12GB of RAM, and a nicer 12MP selfie shooter. And while the A57 gets you a metal frame and a slightly thinner and lighter body, the Galaxy A37 makes do with plastic. Samsung...

This week, Amazon UK is offering vouchers to reduce the prices of the 512GB variants of the three Galaxy S26 phones. But first, here’s an interesting situation – the Google Pixel 10 costs the same as the Galaxy S25. Look closely, though – this is for a 256GB Pixel and only a 128GB Galaxy. Of course, the Galaxy S25 is last year’s model and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. That still handily beats Google’s Tensor G5, though. Google Pixel 10 £150 off Read our review ...

Xiaomi launched the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max with their unique rear screens last September, and today a new rumor purports to bring us some fresh information about their successors. According to a tipster on Weibo, both the Xiaomi 18 Pro and the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will keep the rear display. Not just that, but an "AI-powered smart window" (machine translated from Chinese) will be available for it. We can't tell you what it will do, but it does mean Xiaomi is still investing in equipping the rear screen with more functionality, which is a good sign that it's not a one-off gimmick as some may...
