ZTE has unveiled a bunch of new Nubia smartphones at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, which is being held in Barcelona, Spain. These devices are intended to be distributed in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Each smartphone is designed to cater to a different type of consumer, including ZTE’s first flip smartphone.

Although we may not see these devices in the U.S. any time soon, it is an interesting look at what other companies across the water are doing in the Android landscape — and potentially a sign of what other manufacturers may be up to in the future. Let’s dig in.

If you've been nursing an old iPhone, iOS 27 is the rare update that actually rewards you for it.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Every time Apple released a new iOS update, people swore their iPhones suddenly felt slower. This rumor has followed Apple for years and while the company always denied it, the suspicion never really went away. With its latest iOS 27 update, I believe Apple has finally put this rumor to rest. 

I installed the beta on my iPhone Air, but the bigger story is what's happening on the older models. Reports from people running iOS 27 on even older iPhones say their phones feel faster, not slower.

Apple made Liquid Glass adjustable, which says plenty about Liquid Glass
The new slider is useful, welcome, and mildly hilarious after a year of Apple acting like transparent everything was the obvious future.
Text, Document, Business Card

Apple’s big glassy software future now comes with a way to make it less glassy. In iOS 27, users can adjust the translucency of the Liquid Glass effect, while macOS Golden Gate adds its own Liquid Glass controls under System Settings.

Liquid Glass is still alive across Apple’s platforms, still shimmering through menus and panels, still doing the elegant UI trick Apple clearly likes. The big visual bet has already earned a dimmer switch. After a year of treating translucency like the obvious next step, WWDC’s most revealing design update may be the one that lets people dial it back.

Galaxy S25 users are finally getting some missing One UI 8.5 AI features
Prioritize Notifications, Summarize Notifications and File Summaries arrive on Galaxy S25, but Now Nudge is still missing

Last month, Samsung rolled out the One UI 8.5 update to the Galaxy S25 series, but users quickly noticed that several AI features available on the Galaxy S26 series were missing. The omissions sparked confusion and frustration, with many Galaxy S25 owners questioning what Samsung’s long-term software support actually covers.

Now, Samsung seems to be fixing part of the issue with the June 2026 update, which reportedly adds three of the missing Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S25 series. The update has started rolling out in South Korea and includes the June 2026 Android security patch. The firmware has the build number S938NKSUACZF1.
