The Elec reports that Samsung Display secured a three-year exclusivity deal for folding iPhone screens, with the maybe-delayed, maybe-not-delayed Apple foldable due later this year. The question is whether Apple is getting the nearly creaseless panels Samsung showed off at CES, which it will need to match the Oppo Find N6.

As expected from the trademark filing late last year, Sony’s RGB LED technology will be called “True RGB” and is coming this spring. The new TV (Bravia 10, or better yet, Bravia X?) has been impressive in demos. We’ll see soon how it compares to competitors’ RGB TVs this year.

We’re into what we’ve seen so far of Pragmata, Capcom’s upcoming title launching April 17th. Newegg is the place to go if you want to save big on a digital preorder on Steam or Xbox. The $59.99 game is just $47.99 when you use the code 2XPM on either version.

The Verge’s Allison Johnson called the original 2 x 3-inch version of the Polaroid Hi-Print the best instant photo printer in 2022. It’s still available for $99.99, but Polaroid has announced a new $119.99 version that churns out larger 3 x 3-inch square photos and doubles as a self-standing frame for your favorite print.

Aqara announced its Thermostat Hub W200 at CES 2026 with support for Apple’s Adaptive Temperature and Clean Energy Guidance features in iOS 26 and Matter controller functionality. The W200 is now available through Aqara’s online store, Amazon, and other retailers for $159.99, while an optional C-wire power adapter is $29.99.

Google’s latest affordable phone launched in Japan today, more than a month after its release elsewhere. The wait might have been worth it though, since Japanese buyers can get the phone in an exclusive isai blue finish, designed in partnership with Heralbony, a creative company that works with artists with disabilities.

The Galaxy Z Trifold was not long for this world, but Samsung’s other recent foldable, the Z Fold 7, is available on Amazon starting at $1,599.99 ($400 off), matching its second-best price to date. The luxe foldable features a spacious inner display, all-day battery life, and one of the sleekest designs around, making it a great option for those willing to pay the premium price.

Did hell freeze over? Not quite: the driver belongs to Tiny Corp, not Nvidia, you’ll have to compile it with Docker rather than plug-and-play, and it’s designed for LLMs. But you no longer need to disable Apple’s System Integrity Protection (SIP), because Apple is letting that driver get signed, Tiny says.

After scoring $575 million in funding earlier this week, Whoop is suing Bevel — a startup that has marketed itself as “Whoop, but for the Apple Watch.” The complaint centers on whether Bevel copied Whoop’s app, a claim the former denies. Can’t lie… I feel like I’ve seen 10,000 versions of this app design over the last decade.

The latest addition to My Play Watch’s collection of gaming wearables is a $79.99 Mega Man version, available for preorder soon, with themed watch faces, sounds, and matching straps. Instead of distracting you with notifications it includes a custom version of the NES’ Mega Man 2 playable on the watch’s small touchscreen.

Today only, you can grab a refurbished last-gen Kindle with ads and 16GB of storage for $44.99 ($65 off) from Woot with a 90-day warranty when you use code 25OFF. That’s a great deal since it’s very similar to its successor, my favorite cheap e-reader, with the same sharp 300ppi display, USB-C support, and long battery life in a pocketable design.

The company has given the all-aluminum NES 40th edition of its Retro 68 Keyboard an Apple II-inspired makeover. The new AP50th Limited Edition features a shell, keycaps, and buttons all made from aluminum alloy, and for $499.99 it will ship in June 2026 with a pair of matching wireless programmable buttons.
