We say this every week, but what a week has been in technology: we have seen a lot of new products launches, informed about a seismic change in one of the largest films franchises in history, and we spend some time with the phone Folding thinner. On the planet.
It is a lot to keep up, so there is our weekly rounding ‘in case you have lost it.’ Sit a drink, set a comfortable place and go through everything that happened in the last seven days.
Once completely trapped, we are all ready for next week in technology, and you can trust Techradar to provide all the technological news that matter, as is the case.
8. You told us how you are using AI
The Techradar team has been surveying the general public in a new special report that takes the temperature of how the AI tools continue to change our lives: there is no exaggeration of the industry here, only real data taken from hundreds of users in the United States and the United Kingdom.
We made some interesting discoveries about what tools of AI are the most popular, how educated we are with our classmates, why AI is really useful and why the search for AI is a genuine threat to Google: it is worth reading. Through all this in its entirety. Or simply get your favorite AI tool to summarize them, at least.
7. James Bond got a new boss
MGM Studios, owned by Amazon, bought the bond franchise in 2022, but now the company has a total creative control over the property: the administrators for a long time of the creation of Ian Fleming, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, they are moving away .
It is a great change, and the world of James Bond will never be the same again. Hopefully MGM Studios executives maintain everything that is great about soft spy and resist the need to produce 12 spin-off television programs that we will never see to see.
6. Amazon sacrificed a useful characteristic of Kindle
When he is not drawing the future of James Bond, Amazon does Ereaders: and the owners of Kindles are losing the ability to download their electronic books bought from a computer. In the future, these files will be transferred wirelessly and blocked to a Kindle.
This was a useful way to support the electronic books that I had bought directly from Amazon, but it was also a characteristic that people were exploiting for pirate files and distributing them on the web. Once again, normal users lose due to the shady actions of a minority.
5. We met the new oneplus watch 3
Just out of the excellent OnePlus 13, OnePlus has now expelled the OnePlus Watch 3 to accompany it, and we have spent some practical time with the large and beautiful laptop. It is an iterative update, but it is still impressive.
Our complete review of OnePlus Watch 3 is still pending, but the most immediate outstanding aspects are the long battery life, the classic aspect of the clock, the new health features and the broad support for Google third parties. This could be one of the best smart watches for Android so far.
4. Canon joked with a small promising video camera
The Vloggers in the market for a compact and capable camera would do well to consider the newly mocked Canon Powershot V1. Added silently on the Canon Japan website, it presents a completely new sensor of 22.3mp and some quite useful features for video creators.
We are still waiting for all the details of the camera and global prices, but we like what we have seen so far. While there are already many vlogging cameras to this type of price, Canon may have presented the perfect combination of price and performance here.
3. Amazon revealed two powerful Wi-Fi 7 routers
When he is not drawing the future of James Bond, or doing Ereaders, Amazon also manufactured routers. The Eero series has long been a great option for an affordable and reliable domestic networks kit, and now there are two new Wi-Fi 7 models available.
The Eero 7 and Eero Pro 7 arrive at cheaper prices than the Eero Max 7 Premium, but they still seem to do a fantastic job when covering their entire house in fast wi-fi, ideal for busy homes and electrical users. The devices begin to be sent on February 26.
2. We review the thinnest folding phone in the world
Complete brands for OPPO engineers, who have managed to build a folding phone that measures only 4.21 mm from front to back when they deploy. That is incredibly thin, and we have been putting said phone, the Oppo Find N5, to the test in a complete review of its capabilities.
In summary: Samsung should be worried, because the OPPO finds that N5 accumulates very well against the galaxy z fold 6. Not only is the phone very thin and light, but also has a couple of excellent screens and offers an impressive level of level of battery life for a folding phone.
1. The 16e 16e landed and replaced the series
There is no doubt of the most important news of the week: with the iPhone 16E, Apple renewed its most affordable iPhone series, abandoning the start button, the tactile identification support and the iPhone name se at the same time. And there is a new modem chip just in case.
Discover everything you need to know about the iPhone 16E in Techradar below, including internal specifications (which are very favorably compared to iPhone 16), and how much it will cost you. It could well be the best value for iPhone in the market at this time.
