Tecno's 'Bezelless' Concept Phone Pushes Edge-to-Edge Display to the Limit

Tecno, a budget smartphone brand related to Itel and Infinix, has unveiled a concept phone called the Bezelless, designed to push screen borders closer to true edge-to-edge than any current production device. The concept arrives roughly a decade after the industry's initial race to shrink bezels, a trend that largely stalled with most phones settling at around one millimeter on each side. Tecno's device is strictly a concept and is not intended for commercial release. The phone represents an attempt to explore how far bezel reduction can realistically go in modern smartphone design.

Motorola Moto Watch Ultra launches with Wear OS and Snapdragon W5 Plus chip

Motorola has introduced the Moto Watch Ultra, its first premium smartwatch, just months after re-entering the smartwatch market. Unlike its predecessor, which ran a custom operating system, the Ultra adopts Google's Wear OS platform powered by a Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chip. The switch to Wear OS gives users access to a broader app ecosystem and better integration with Android devices. The watch is available in one size and two color options, offering notable upgrades over the standard Moto Watch. However, it falls short of matching the rugged, outdoor-focused features found in Samsung's and Apple's Ultra-tier smartwatches.

Lenovo AeroBlade concept laptop ditches fans for silent solid-state cooling

Lenovo has unveiled the Project AeroBlade, a concept laptop set to be showcased at IFA 2026. The 14-inch device measures under 10mm thick and weighs less than 830g, making it significantly slimmer and lighter than recent ThinkPad X1 Carbon models. Instead of traditional fans, it uses Frore's AirJet technology, which relies on piezoelectric membranes to move air through the chassis with no moving parts. This solid-state cooling approach makes the laptop nearly silent during operation. The AeroBlade is based on Lenovo's ThinkBook line and represents a push toward fanless, ultra-thin notebook design.

Courts Tread Lightly on Antitrust Penalties Against Meta and Google

Federal courts in the United States have been reluctant to impose severe penalties on major tech companies like Meta and Google, even after finding them guilty of antitrust violations. Judges appear cautious about intervening too aggressively in fast-moving technology markets. The concern is that heavy-handed remedies could disrupt industries where innovation is rapidly evolving. This hesitancy raises questions about the effectiveness of antitrust enforcement in the modern tech sector.

Sonos CEO Tom Conrad on fixing the app crisis and launching platform Sonos 27

Tom Conrad, who joined Sonos's board before stepping in as interim CEO during the company's troubled 2024 app redesign, became permanent CEO roughly a year ago. In a recent interview, Conrad reflected on how the botched app overhaul nearly derailed the brand and the structural changes he made to stabilise the company. He reframed Sonos as both a hardware and software business, emphasising that all its products must work together as a unified system. To that end, Sonos is launching a new platform called Sonos 27, which Conrad describes as a fresh foundation designed to improve how every device in the ecosystem functions together. The platform also explores AI assistant integration, though a strained relationship with Google means Gemini is currently unavailable on Sonos devices.
