Foldable phones are having a moment, but alongside the release of new book-style foldables and flip-style phones, some are experimenting with new concepts. We've seen a few foldables with two hinges instead of one, but the latest concept unveiled at MWC 2025 could be the most polished yet. In fact, the Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 is one of the thinnest foldable phones yet.

To be clear, the Phantom Ultimate 2 is just a concept for now. Tecno hasn’t said anything about releasing the phone to the public. But, the concept does at least show that work on foldable phones is progressing pretty nicely.

So, why would you want a foldable phone with two hinges instead of one? It all comes down to more screen real estate. The Phantom Ultimate 2 concept essentially involves one-third of the display on the front when the phone is completely folded up — and that's what you'll use in phone mode. Then, you can unfold the device to get a wide aspect ratio, like the phone on the laptop or tablet you already use. That's instead of the near-square aspect ratios we've seen from most foldables so far.

The device's thickness is particularly impressive. In fact, the phone is only 11mm thick when it's completely folded up. That’s thinner than the 12.1mm Galaxy Z Fold 6, which has two sides instead of three. 

According to Tecno, the device achieves that ultra-thin design thanks to a thin battery cover, which is only 0.25mm thick. The display in phone mode measures 6.48 inches, but when you unfold the phone, you’ll get a huge 10-inch 3K OLED display.

Tecno says that the software has been optimized for the huge display, including the different modes that the device can be used in with the two hinges. You can use the device as a kind of big-screen laptop, with one-third of the display lying flat on the table with a keyboard. You can also use the device for things like dual-screen translation. 

As mentioned, this is still a concept, and we don’t know what kind of processor the phone has or the camera specifications. We also don’t know how big the battery is under that ultra-thin cover. And keep in mind that the device would likely be expensive if it ever were to be released.

Regardless, I hope we see a phone like this available to the public sometime soon — especially for those who want a little more productivity from their phone when they’re on the go.

UPDATE: Mar. 3, 2025, 1:25 p.m. EST This article has been updated with details on the Oscar wins for "Anora," as well as the latest pricing for digital on demand.

The best streaming deals to watch 'Anora' at a glance: BEST NON-STREAMING OPTION Buy or rent 'Anora' on Prime Video $14.99 to buy with Prime, $5.99 to rent Get Deal BEST FOR MOST PEOPLE Hulu annual subscription $99.99 per year (save 16%) Get Deal BEST BUNDLE DEAL Hulu and Disney+ (with ads) $10.99/month (save $8.99/month) Get Deal BEST FOR STUDENTS Hulu Student $1.99/month (save $8/month) Get Deal BEST FOR T-MOBILE CUSTOMERS Hulu (with ads) Free for select T-Mobile customers (save $9.99/month) Learn More

Anora, winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, flooded award nomination lists this season. And we couldn't be more thrilled. A Cinderella story that doesn't quite go the way you'd expect, Anora was our favorite film of 2024. Its lead, Mikey Madison, is now a certified star. She secured the BAFTA award for Best Leading Actress in February then went on to take home the Academy Award for Best Actress.

As of March 17, it's gracing the streaming world for all to see. Here's everything you need to know to watch Anora at home.

What is Anora about?

Mikey Madison stars as sex worker Anora — call her Ani — whose professional relationship with her young Russian client Ivan (Mark Eydelshtyen), the son of an oligarch, quickly turns into a wedding in Vegas. Ivan's wealthy parents aren't thrilled with the news and they make a visit to Brooklyn, alongside their cronies, to try to put an end to the marriage. It's up to Ani to fight for what she wants. "To borrow from another 2024 cinematic sex worker — she will not accept a life she does not deserve," Mashable film editor Kristy Puchko summarizes.

Check out the official trailer for a sneak peek:

Is Anora worth watching?

Not only do we think Anora is one of indie writer/director Sean Baker's best films yet, but we also think it's the best movie of 2024. "Anora is magnificently alive. Madison is its shining star, her charisma absolute as she wields a Brooklyn accent like a whip to dazzle with or wreak havoc as she sees fit," Mashable's Kristy Puchko writes in her review, adding that it's "as bold as it is brilliant." Other critics largely agree, with the film earning a glowing 93 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 89 percent audience rating.

Anora was nominated for six Oscars at the 97th Academy Awards and took home five of them — including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Lead Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. See what the hype is about when it hits streaming — we can't recommend it enough.

Check out our full review of Anora.

If you skipped the big screen, you're in luck. Anora became available to watch at home as of Dec. 17. You can purchase it for your digital collection through on demand retailers like Prime Video and Apple TV or rent it for 30 days. If you choose to rent, just be aware that once you start watching, you'll only have 48 hours to finish. For streaming information, keep scrolling.

Here are some of the platforms where you can purchase the film online:

• Prime Video — buy for $14.99, rent for $5.99

• Apple TV — buy for $14.99, rent for $5.99

• Fandango at Home (Vudu) — buy for $14.99, rent for $5.99

• YouTube — buy for $14.99, rent for $5.99

• Google Play — buy for $14.99, rent for $5.99

When and where is Anora streaming?

Since the indie film distributor Neon has a deal with Hulu, we predicted Anora would make its streaming debut on the service in March 2025. We're happy to announce that this was an accurate prediction. Anora is set to make its streaming debut on Hulu on March 17, 2025.

Hulu is surprisingly one of the most generous streamers for newbies, as it offers a free 30-day trial. Subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but we've also rounded up a few different ways you can save on your subscription below.

The best Hulu streaming dealsBest Hulu deal for most people: Hulu annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu (with ads) annual subscription $99.99 per year (save 16%) Get Deal

Instead of paying $9.99 per month for Hulu (with ads), which adds up to $119.88 in a year, you can opt for an annual subscription and save 16%. A yearly subscription, paid up front, costs just $99.99, which drops the monthly fee down to just $8.33 per month. It's the best way to keep more money in your pocket in the long run.

Best bundle deal: Get Hulu and Disney+ for 37% off Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu / Disney+ Duo Basic bundle: Hulu and Disney+ with ads $10.99 per month (save 45%) Get Deal

Want the most bang for your buck? Opt for a bundle plan. You can sign up for the Disney Duo Basic bundle and get both Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) for $10.99 per month. That's just $1 more than paying for Hulu alone, or a savings of 45%. If you're a sports fan, you can also throw ESPN+ into the mix for only $16.99 per month total. That's 47% in savings on all three services.

Best for students: Hulu Student Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu Student $1.99 per month (save 80%) Get Deal

Students looking to stream Anora and other Neon hits can sign up for Hulu for only $1.99 per month. That's 80% off the usual cost of a Hulu with ads plan. The only requirement is that you can verify your college email address using SheerID.

Best for T-Mobile users: Hulu (with ads) included for one year for Go5G Next customers Opens in a new window Credit: T-Mobile / Hulu Hulu (with ads) Free for select T-Mobile customers Get Deal

One of the best ways to get free streaming services, including Hulu, is to switch your phone plan to T-Mobile's Go5G Next plan. Customers on this plan can enjoy Hulu with ads for free (as well as Netflix and Apple TV+). If you're already on the Go5G Next plan, just head over to the T-Mobile promo page and choose "redeem now" to claim your offer. You'll have to enter your T-Mobile number and account details in order to sign up for Hulu.

Note: After your initial 12-month promotional period, you'll also have to take action in order to keep your subscription alive.

ZTE's Nubia brand is back at MWC with some big releases for 2025. Alongside the flip-style foldable phone it unveiled last week, the company introduced the Nubia Neo 3 series — designed with gamers in mind. These phones feature RGB lighting and hidden shoulder triggers in the phone’s frame.

There are other gaming-focused features beyond the shoulder triggers for gaming. Notably, the device has interesting RGB lighting and offers a variety of different designs. It also has a powerful cooling system that should help keep your phone running smoother for longer, which is helpful for those who game for extended periods of time. 

SEE ALSO: What to expect at MWC 2025 from Samsung, TCL, and more

As you might expect, the Nubia Neo 3 is largely designed for gamers. The Neo 3 GT is the top-tier model in the lineup and offers an impressive 12GB of RAM (plus 12GB of so-called virtual RAM that the operating system can use from the storage). Perhaps more impressive is the fact that it has a UNISOC T9100 5G processor — an uncommon choice in a sea of Qualcomm and MediaTek-powered phones. It has an OLED display with a 1080p resolution and a massive 6,000mAh battery. 

The slightly lower-performing Neo 3 is powered by a UNISOC T8300 processor and has 8GB of hardware RAM. It also features gaming shoulder triggers and a linear haptic feedback motor.

Both phones also feature the new AI Game Space 3.0, which lets you customize game modes, and tweak performance to match your preferences.

Perhaps cooler than those phones, of course, is the new foldable device, which was also on show at MWC 2025. The new device, called the Nubia Flip 2, will go up against phones like the Motorola Razr series and has a rectangular display on the front with a larger screen inside. It has a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor, along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. I was able to see the phone in person at MWC 2025, and it felt relatively premium and well-built —though no more so than the other flip-style phones on the market right now.

ZTE Nubia phones aren’t necessarily the most well-known, but they prove to be great choices for those who want to buy a solid, powerful phone on a budget. All three of these devices will become available over the next few months.

The Nubia Flip 2 is perhaps the most notable in price — it comes at only 62,080 yen, which equates to around $410. For now, it’ll only be available in Japan.

The truly overhauled Siri that Apple has promised reportedly might not be ready until 2027.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is running way behind on meaningful upgrades for its voice assistant and "conversational version of Siri won’t reach consumers until iOS 20 at best." The slow, staggered, and sometimes delayed rollout of Apple Intelligence features has already indicated that Apple is struggling to deliver a more advanced Siri, akin to OpenAI's ChatGPT.

SEE ALSO: Apple Intelligence will summarise your breakup texts

But now, Apple is in a full-blown "AI crisis" and facing "make-or-break" moment to meet sky-high expectations or risk losing its competitive edge altogether, said Gurman.

Tweet may have been deleted

To be clear, Siri is getting smarter in some areas. The upcoming iOS 18.5 will reportedly enable Siri to tap into users' personal data to elicit more customized responses and "take action" across apps.

But at the center of the crisis is Siri's functionality, which currently relies on a patchwork combination of the legacy system for simpler commands and a more advanced version that handles Apple Intelligence queries. The plan was to merge the two systems into one system dubbed internally "LLM Siri," in time for the iOS 18 launch, but that didn't happen in time.

Apple was planning to bring LLM Siri to the iOS 19 release at WWDC this coming June, but that plan is reportedly delayed now too. That means the iOS 19 update might not come with any significant Apple Intelligence updates, and LLM Siri might be pushed back to the next product cycle, iOS 20.

This heaps onto an already disappointing rollout of Apple Intelligence, which Gurman reports has "extremely low" usage according to internal data. Currently, Apple Intelligence consists of AI features like writing tools, voicemail and audio transcriptions, custom emojis called Genmoji, and Image Playground for AI-generated cartoon images. Such features are mildly helpful or fun novelties, but hardly the vital use cases Apple is looking for.

Apple Intelligence also provides AI-generated summaries of notifications, messages, and emails, but some users have found these summaries to be annoying at best, and scarily inaccurate at worst, like when it falsely claimed suspected Healthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione shot himself. Apple subsequently suspended AI news summaries for the time being.

Meanwhile, Amazon just debuted an updated version of its voice assistant, Alexa+ which has the conversational capabilities, third-party app integration, and agentic AI features Apple is probably aiming for with Siri. All eyes are on Apple now to see if it can close the gap.

Well known for its reliable and high quality air purifiers, Coway designed the Airmega 100 to protect in spaces as large as 810 square feet. With a HEPA filter, you'll be better off when it comes to pollen, wildfire smoke, viruses, and pet dander. Coway mentions the purifier can capture 99.99% of micron particles as small as 0.01. It can also capture 99% of all VOC (volatile organic compounds) and odors that frequently come with new furniture and paints.

Before particles meet the HEPA filter, they go through the pre-filter which you can vacuum off to clean. It'll capture pet hair, dust mites, and hair before it reaches the HEPA filter, which gives it a longer lifespan.

The Coway Airmega 100 comes with some great touch-control functions including a timer, airflow speed settings, and a sleep mode. In sleep mode, the Airmega operates at about 20 decibels which is about the same measurement as a whisper so you won't be disrupted at night.

Instead of suffering through spring allergy season, clean your indoor air with the Coway Airmega 100. Since it's on sale for just $80 today, this is a great opportunity to safeguard your home before pollen comes knocking.

A new name has joined in the efforts to buy TikTok and keep it running in the U.S.

According to Reuters, venture capitalist Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, is joining businessman Frank McCourt in his bid to buy TikTok in the U.S.

"He has that broad portfolio of experience … of where social media was and, I think, a keen understanding of where it’s evolving," McCourt told Reuters.

In a post on his Instagram Stories, Ohanian screenshot the Reuters story and wrote "Ready to buy TikTok US and bring on chain 🗽"

SEE ALSO: Every potential TikTok buyer we know about

"Where he can help mostly is validating but also socializing what we're doing," McCourt told Reuters. "On the one hand, this is a project which has very sophisticated technology at the core, and so you're dealing with a very specific audience when it comes to demonstrating the validity of that technology and in how it works, and why it's necessary."

McCourt is the founder of Project Liberty, which offered ByteDance $20 billion in cash for what the group calls "The People’s Bid for TikTok." Canadian investor and Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary is also in on the bid.

This comes at a time in which investors are fighting to get a piece of TikTok before the ban goes into effect. Of course, the Supreme Court decided to uphold then-president Joe Biden's TikTok ban in a unanimous decision. Since then, President Donald Trump extended the period of time before the law goes into effect. Now, the app is running and back on app stores — at least, until Trump's extension runs out on April 5. TikTok says it doesn't want to sell, but the most likely way to stop a U.S. ban is for another company to step up and buy it.

In a quiet move that has largely gone unnoticed, all of Insomniac Games' high-budget PC VR titles have been removed from the Oculus store. This was the only digital marketplace where they were available for purchase.

The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is investigating TikTok, Reddit, and Imgur over how they handle children's personal data, the agency announced on Monday.

The probe comes amid rising concerns over how social media and video-sharing platforms collect and process data from younger users. The ICO says it will examine how TikTok uses the personal information of 13–17-year-olds to fuel its recommendation algorithms.

SEE ALSO: TikTok Creator Marketplace is shutting down and being replaced by AI-packed TikTok One

Meanwhile, Reddit and Imgur are under scrutiny for how their platforms "use UK children’s personal information and their use of age assurance measures."

"If social media and video sharing platforms want to benefit from operating in the UK they must comply with data protection law," said UK Information Commissioner John Edwards. "The responsibility to keep children safe online lies firmly at the door of the companies offering these services and my office is steadfast in its commitment to hold them to account."

TikTok, the ByteDance-owned video sharing platform, has faced increasing scrutiny in recent years over its ties to the Chinese government. In 2023, the ICO fined TikTok over $16 million for allowing children under 13 to access the app in 2020. Additionally, TikTok is at risk of being banned in the U.S. if it fails to sell its American assets by April 2025 — a move first pushed during President Trump’s administration.

I love a good house plant. That is, until they start dying. It's not that I don't care about my pot plants, I just have a terrible memory and struggle to remember when each needs watering. That's why I decided to create a way to track when I water each plant and remind me when it's time to water them again.

Working from home has its perks, but it also means that every meeting is a virtual one, and having a reliable webcam is pretty much non-negotiable if you want to keep your job. Most laptops and desktops come with a built-in webcam, but if you’re taking client calls or discussing sensitive topics, you’re going to need something that’s a little more robust than a factory standard camera.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a mid-to-high-level camera — the Logitech Brio 101 webcam is on sale at Amazon for just $24.99 (down from $39.99), which is the lowest price we've seen for this model.

Got a Roku TV? Boost the sound by pairing it with the Roku Wireless Soundbar, which is on sale for 33% off. While it's not overly packed with fancy features, it can "drastically improve the sound your Roku TV can put out," as our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) put it. It requires zero cables and can seamlessly slip into any entertainment space. And it won't cost you a fortune. As of March 3, it's down to just $99.99 at Amazon.

"The Bose SoundLink Micro isn't exactly the cheapest Bluetooth speaker, but its portability, good sound, and durability almost justify the price tag," Mashable's reviewer writes. The SoundLink Micro is usually $119, but as of March 3, you can save 17% and pay just under $100. It's pretty tiny — micro, if you will — and can fit in the palm of your hand, making it a good pick for attaching to your bike or backpack. It's unfazed by water immersion and will pump out heavy bass no problem. We wish the battery life was better for the price, but overall, the SoundLink Micro still packs a pretty good punch.

At the 2025 Oscars, no one had more fun than Colman Domingo, who took every opportunity to get up from his seat and dance. During a commercial break, he even took to the stage to encourage fellow attendees to join in on the fun, all while sipping champagne. Although the Best Actor nominee didn't leave the Dolby Theatre with an Academy Award in hand, he did have his husband, Raúl Domingo, by his side.

The couple turned heads on the red carpet, with Colman celebrating his nomination for Sing Sing. Their appearance sparked renewed interest in their love story — one they’ve shared publicly once before.

In February 2024, during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Colman revealed that he and Raúl first met in 2005 through a Craigslist "missed connections" post. While visiting Northern California, Colman noticed a "beautiful" man outside a Walgreens in Berkeley but missed the chance to approach him. A few days later, while browsing Craigslist, he came across a post titled "Saw you outside of Walgreens — Berkeley," written by Raúl just hours earlier.

They met three days later, and Colman felt an immediate connection. "At 4 o'clock in the morning, I couldn’t sleep. I said, 'I think I love you, and you’re about to change my life.'" Nearly 20 years later, their love continues to thrive.

Despite their long-term relationship and shared production company, the couple keeps the rest of their private life under wraps. Colman explained to The Times, "We knew people would ask about my husband, so we thought, 'We'll give you one simple story. But only one.'"

No best-of list of robot vacuums is complete without an iRobot Roomba on it. We gave the Roomba J7 a spot on our list of the best, but the Q011 is a good pick too. Budget priced, it's a smart robot vacuum that many homes can afford — especially given this deal.

With three levels of suction, the Q011 adjusts its cleaning power to adapt to carpets and hardwood floors. The vacuum cleans in tight rows, then returns to its charging station to top off its power reserve for the next pass.

With the app, you'll be able to pair your Roomba to an assistant like Alexa to give your robot vacuum voice commands. You can also set the app to begin cleaning when you leave the home. You'll be able to check in on what your iRobot has accomplished with a home cleaning map that shows where the robot has been.
