German luxury compact SUVs are often associated with high price tags, but one particular model has quietly proven that premium doesn’t always mean pricey. This SUV delivers the refinement, comfort, and technology buyers expect from a German brand, yet it does so with a value proposition that surprises many shoppers who assume higher costs come with the badge. For those balancing luxury and sensible spending, it’s becoming one of the most attractive options in its segment.

We’ve all played mobile games that rely on tapping, swiping, and tilting, but what about plugging and unplugging your charging cable? As strange as it sounds, that’s exactly what a clever web developer created, and you can play it on your Android phone without downloading anything.

The graphics card market is a fickle beast. One year, it'll be teeming with options for every price range; the next, it'll be barren during a shortage. The ongoing RAM-pocalypse is definitely pushing us toward that latter state, but there are still GPUs left to buy—for now.

Google is stepping up its security game for educational institutions by adding automated ransomware detection directly into Google Drive. This gives administrators and users a better defense against data loss and the threat of ransom payments. It also provides a safety net if an attack has already happened.

There are many reasons why Samsung Galaxy XR is the first VR headset I’ve actually wanted, but the best thing about it is something that neither Samsung nor Google felt the need to highlight. This is the most open, unrestricted headset on the market today—a device I can truly make my own.

Home Assistant is free, open-source smart home software that allows you to connect and control a huge number of smart home devices, regardless of their brand or ecosystem. It's a technological marvel, but my favorite thing about Home Assistant has nothing to do with the tech at all.

SAVE $30: Amazon has the Dreame Gleam Hair Dryer on sale for just $69.99 as of Jan. 21. That's 30% off its $99.99 sticker price, which is its biggest discount to date.

The Dyson Supersonic is a fast and effective hair dryer, but like most Dyson beauty tech, it suffers from the affliction of Being Way Too Expensive. Fortunately, my colleague Bethany Allard has made it part of her life's work to find the best Dyson Supersonic dupes that replicate its results for $300 or less. Her top budget pick, the Dreame Gleam, manages to do it for just $100 — but if you hustle, you'll pay a fraction of that.

As of Jan. 21, Amazon has the Gleam on sale for just $69.99, or 30% off its usual $99.99 MSRP. (You could buy six of them for the price of one Supersonic.) Data on the price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel shows that this is a match of its record-low price from last September, which hasn't reemerged until now.

The Gleam dethroned the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium as Allard's top Supersonic dupe under $100 several months ago because its short-nozzle design is a closer match, and because it's easier to find. It has two settings for speeds and three for heat, and it comes with one concentrator attachment. It's available in one shade of pastel pink — very apt for Valentine's Day, I might add.

Allard was impressed by the Gleam's lightweight feel and its effectiveness in taking her long hair from wet to dry in about 15 minutes on the warm setting. "My hair looked shiny and like it hadn't been overblasted with heat," she said. Less impressive: Its highest heat setting feels too hot to use for more than a few seconds, and it produces more frizz compared to some of the other Supersonic dupes Allard tried. Still, "these are minor complaints for a hair dryer under $100," she added.

Winter is the perfect time for home renovations. With no house guests lined up to arrive soon, you're free to make improvements to rooms that have been begging for upgrades.

As of Jan. 21, the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 portable power station is on sale at Amazon for $1,999, down from the usual price of $3,699. That's a 46% discount that shaves a major $1,700 off the price. It's also the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

Unlike smaller models that are perfect for keeping your phone charged during a power outage, the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 is a hefty model that comes with 4,096Wh of battery capacity. That will be incredible for both home renovations and keeping large appliances powered up during outages. EcoFlow says this model can keep a refrigerator cooling for three days.

SEE ALSO: The Jackery HomePower 3000 portable power station is nearly half off at Amazon — save over $1,000

Since this much battery power comes with significant weight, EcoFlow designed the Delta Pro 3 with durable wheels and a telescoping handle, so you'll be able to roll the power station around the house. It's also quiet, giving off as little as 30 decibels, so you'll be in good shape for using it in the kids room at night or for those who need to sleep with a CPAP.

Before you take on another home project or face a storm that knocks out power, upgrade to the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 portable power station while it's on sale at Amazon for under $2,000. It's ideal to use for home projects, during power outages, and for rolling into the backyard on summer nights for outdoor movies.

The best streaming subscription for movie buffs, a Criterion Channel annual plan gives you access to the films in the Criterion Collection and Janus Films' library of more than 1,500 films. Rather than a fixed library with algorithmic programming, it hosts constantly rotating thematic programming, which ranges from mass-market to niche indie films. Current collections featured include "Hotels on Film," "Nordic Noir," "The '90s Do the '70s," and "Family Reunions." You'll also get access to over 500 shorts and 5,000 supplementary features, like trailers, introductions, behind-the-scenes documentaries, interviews, commentary, and rare archival footage.

To be frank, it's a cinephile's paradise. If you want to expand your cinematic palate this year, we highly recommend securing this deal before Feb. 2.

Volvo EX60 is probably the most important car for Volvo this decade, and the specifications show it.

Officially unveiled on Wednesday, the Volvo EX60 is a mid-sized electric SUV, positioned in between the smaller EX30 and the big family hauler, the EX90, both of which are already available for purchase.

Volvo says the EX60 is extremely efficient thanks to its aerodynamics, as well as thermal and propulsion efficiency. Credit: Volvo

But the EX60 mimics the company's all-time best-selling model, the petrol-powered Volvo XC60. And while that car has been electrified in the form of the plug-in hybrid, the XC60 Recharge, the Volvo EX60 is the company's first, true mid-size electric SUV.

Given the intense competition in that space, Volvo had to pull out the big guns to stay competitive, and that it did, at least on paper. The Volvo EX60, which is built on Volvo's new SPA3 EV architecture, has a massive 400 miles of range. It also has super-fast charging, ideally taking the battery from 10 to 80 percent in just 19 minutes on a 400kW charger.

You won't mistake the EX60 for a non-Volvo, that's for sure. Credit: Volvo

These figures are for the most powerful variant, the Volvo EX60 P12 AWD, which comes with a 117kWh battery and dual motors for a combined 670hp, propelling the car from 0 to 60mph in 3.8 seconds.

You can also get the EX60 in a slightly weaker, P10 AWD configuration, which has a 95kWh battery and up to 320 miles of range, while the P6 only has a rear motor and up to 310 miles of range.

It's worth comparing that range figure with some competitors, as Volvo claims it's best-in-class. For example, Tesla's Model Y has up to 330 of EPA range, while BMW's recently unveiled iX3 equals the EX60 with up to 400 miles of range.

The infotainment system is powered by Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Google Gemini AI. Note the central screen which is horizontal instead of vertical, as it is on other Volvo models. Credit: Volvo

Volvo also addressed another pain point in many of today's cars: Infotainment. The EX60 is based on HuginCore, Volvo's name for a hardware/software combination of Nvidia and Qualcomm chips, and Google's Gemini AI smarts.

Some amenities you can get in an EX60 include a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, with Apple Music pre-installed with Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio support. The Gemini AI bit means you can have a natural conversation with your car, and the AI isn't just for answering geography and history questions; instead, it should be able to perform a variety of commands without you having to remember specific queries.

We hoped for a 7-seat variant, but Volvo doesn't mention it anywhere. Credit: Volvo

Volvo also says that all this hardware power brings a "no-lag" infotainment experience, in which "screens respond quickly, maps load instantly, voice assistants understand passengers better, and everything feels smooth." It sounds great, but we'll believe it when we see it.

Other highlights include tons of safety tech, as is customary for Volvo, which includes a boron steel-strengthened safety cage. The minimalistic exterior and interior design gently whispers "Scandinavian quality" into your ear. Looking at Volvo's promotional pictures, the most important detail we've noticed is the horizontally oriented central display, which used to be vertical in previous Volvos.

The Volvo EX60 CC is a bit more nature-friendly, but it's not that different from the regular EX60. Credit: Volvo

The company also launched the Volvo EX60 Cross Country, a slightly more rugged variant that shares very similar specs, though it's only available in the P10 AWD and P12 AWD configurations. Differences from the regular EX60 include higher clearance and seating position, air suspension, rugged wheel arches, stainless steel skid plates, and badges that remind you that this is a CC model.

Volvo says that the production of EX60 P6 and P10 variants will begin in April 2026, while the P12 will enter production later this year. As for price, the company says that a "really well-equipped" Volvo EX60 P10 AWD should cost around $60,000.

The Champions League always delivers interesting matchups, but there's something special about Marseille vs. Liverpool. We're not exactly sure why, but this is a fascinating prospect.

Maybe it's because both teams still harbor ambitions of making the top eight and avoiding the playoff round. Marseille are three points off eighth place, so they need a bit of luck over the last two rounds of group stage games, but anything is possible. And Liverpool are not exactly flying right now, so Marseille will fancy their chances of taking three points at home.

OpenAI and its popular AI chatbot ChatGPT may have started the current AI craze, but they've recently been losing some ground to Google Gemini in the AI arms race. However, it seems all is not lost for OpenAI and ChatGPT.

A new survey from subscription bundling platform Bango claims that 72 percent of ChatGPT subscribers say they have set the chatbot as their new browser homepage on both desktop and mobile (as reported by Tom's Guide). If true, that would be a big blow to Google's long-time dominance in the search space. Google hasn't faced a true competitor in the search world in decades, and a U.S. federal judged ruled in 2024 that the company illegally maintained a monopoly in online search. (Google is appealing that antitrust ruling.)

Since ChatGPT exploded onto the scene in 2022, Google and OpenAI have become fierce rivals.

Last month, a report found that ChatGPT had lost six percent of its user base after Google launched an upgraded Gemini 3 model. Then, just weeks ago, Google announced alongside Apple that its Gemini AI model would power Apple Intelligence across all of Apple's devices, which in turn would likely further dilute ChatGPT's market share. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly declared a "code red" at the company in response to increased competition.

ChatGPT is still causing problems for Google in one key area

Bango's survey found that a majority of ChatGPT subscribers now use the AI chatbot as their default homepage, according to Tom's Guide. That's potentially hundreds of millions of people who no longer start their online experience with Google.

One of the ways Google has dominated the search engine space for so long has been by becoming the default search engine when users open their web browsers. For example, Google had been paying Apple a whopping $20 billion per year for the privilege of being the default search engine for iPhone users, until the company was barred from doing so as a result of an antitrust lawsuit.

If this survey data is accurate, OpenAI has been able to convince users to switch from Google to ChatGPT, and without paying billions of dollars a year to do so.

Bango reportedly polled 1,400 U.S. ChatGPT subscribers for this survey, so we should note that these are the opinions of a small group of users who regularly utilize ChatGPT. 

ChatGPT subscribers love ChatGPT

The main takeaway from Bango's survey is that while Google has been making gains when it comes to AI, the search giant may have to defend its own turf from ChatGPT.

However, there are other interesting results from this survey that point to another trend: many hardcore ChatGPT users want to do everything within ChatGPT.

The survey also found that 78 percent of ChatGPT subscribers have added the ChatGPT widget to their mobile device's home screen, per Tom's Guide. This means they don't even have to access a web browser to use it. They just want to go directly to ChatGPT.

Once those users are in ChatGPT, they don't want to go anywhere else. The survey found that 74 percent of ChatGPT subscribers want to shop for products within ChatGPT, and 72 percent say they'll use standalone third-party apps like Spotify and Maps less if they can access them within ChatGPT.

In addition, three-quarters of ChatGPT subscribers said they want to perform all their daily digital tasks within ChatGPT without using any other apps or websites.

Microsoft has confirmed that its latest Windows updates, released on January 13, 2026, are causing several applications to freeze when accessing files stored on cloud services like OneDrive and Dropbox. This is just one in a series of critical bugs discovered in the recent patch.

Lots of people are saying OnePlus is on the verge of shutting down, but OnePlus executives beg to differ.

So, what's going on with OnePlus?

The Chinese smartphone maker is the subject of credible reports alleging that parent company Oppo is planning to end the mobile brand's operations in the near future. It all started with an investigation from Android Headlines, which cited dismal sales numbers and multiple unnamed sources claiming that the company is on its last legs. Android Headlines described the evidence it collected as "damning."

"OnePlus, as you know it, is over," wrote Android Headlines publisher and owner Chris Yackulic. "The brand is being dismantled — wound down and put on life support until it honors its remaining commitments, and by then, no one will remember to ask what happened. That’s not speculation. That’s the playbook, and we’ve watched it run before."

Android Headlines reported that some corporate headquarters have already been closed, and that products like OnePlus's next foldable have been canceled.

However, OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu has strongly denied these claims in a statement on X. He echoed this denial in statements to various mobile outlets.

"Recent unverified reports claiming OnePlus is shutting down are false. OnePlus India’s business operations continue as normal. We urge all stakeholders to verify information from official sources before sharing unsubstantiated claims.”

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

In addition, OnePlus's North American branch provided a similar comment to Android Headlines.

“OnePlus North America continues to operate, with full guarantee of users’ after-sales support, software updates, and rights commitments," the company told Android Headlines.

Of course, many struggling companies deny reports like this right up to the moment they shut down in an attempt to stave off a death spiral.

Mashable has reviewed OnePlus phones for years, and if the company does shut down, it would leave a hole in a mobile market that's already dominated by several tech giants (Apple, Google, and Samsung). The calculus is different in Asia, where there are lots of alternative smartphone options, but here in the West, OnePlus is one of the only ways to get out of the Apple-Google-Samsung ecosystem.

The OnePlus 15, released just a few months ago, was one of the very best phones of 2025, with high-end specs at a competitive price.

The greatest TV show of all time is a subject that's hotly debated. Several shows are regularly cited as being the best, but you're all wrong. The greatest TV show of all time is actually something else.

Both teams are in contention to move into the knockout rounds. Newcastle won't have given up on a top eight spot, but they'll need two wins from their final fixtures. Next week Newcastle travel to play defending champions PSG, which is obviously going to be tough. That just puts more pressure on this fixture.

This do-it-all power station is a Mashable Choice Award winner, thanks to its portability, versatility, and impressive performance. It weighs less than 30 pounds, which is kind of like carrying around a stocked cooler — not exactly lightweight, but maneuverable. Its up to 2,400W output and 11 versatile ports (two USB-C, two USB-A, and six three-pronged AC outlets) can keep plenty of your essential gadgets up and running during tailgates, camping trips, or even if you lose power at home. It's not going to power up your entire home, but it'll deliver power to a space heater, coffee maker, and even a refrigerator. It recharges in less than an hour via wall power, but you can also connect it to the included solar panel if you're off the grid.

Even at full price, our reviewer thinks the Solix C1000 is worth it — at less than half price, it's a helluva deal.
