Samsung Galaxy A18 4G: Exynos 1610 CPU, 5,000mAh battery, 6.7″ 90Hz AMOLED display

Samsung has subtly released a new 4G-only smartphone in select European markets. Meet the Samsung Galaxy A18. The Samsung Galaxy A18 4G is powered by a new and unfamiliar Exynos 1610 processor, with 4GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage. Samsung is insisting on using 5,000mAh batteries on its budget phones, which already lags behind most of its competition. Samsung says it can retain at least 80% of its battery health after 1,200 charge cycles. The device itself charges at 25W. A big 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen is on the front, which has a 90Hz refresh rate for extra smoothness. The camera department consists of the 50-megapixel main shooter, 5-megapixel ultra-wide, 2-megapixel macro, and 13-megapixel for selfies. It may not have the best hardware, but Samsung offers the most compelling software support. It will already receive Android 17-based One UI 9, on top of 6 years of OS updates it will receive in the future. The Samsung Galaxy A...

Sei Crypto Wallet to come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi and The Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit that promotes the Sei network, have entered a global partnership that aims to promote mainstream blockchain adoption. From 2026, Xiaomi phones available outside mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a wallet and crypto discovery app developed by Sei Labs. This would definitely help increase the adoption of the network as Xiaomi is one of the biggest smartphone vendors in the world, just behind Samsung and Apple. Participating phones will be able to conduct peer-to-peer payments, explore Web3 products, and access decentralized applications without the need to download third-party apps. What’s more, Sei plans to implement stablecoin payments in over 20,000 Xiaomi stores, starting in Hong Kong and the European Union. Sei Labs aims to “build a decentralized NASDAQ” and targets to accommodate 200,000 transactions per second as it aims to shift the financial ecosystem on-chain. To make it possible, th...

Following a long break from solo adventures, two major new games in the Tomb Raider series were revealed at The Game Awards 2025. The last time players controlled Lara in a core series game was 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Now, publisher Amazon Games and longtime developer Crystal Dynamics are bringing her back with a pair of distinct projects. The first is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis , a full remake of the original 1996 game that started it all. It is being built with Unreal Engine 5 by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog.
