TECNO claims it has built a phone with no bezel at all

TECNO is turning heads again with another bold concept. At next month’s IFA show in Berlin, the company will show off what it calls the first smartphone with a completely borderless display. Most high-end phones today have very thin edges, but they still have some visible frame. Apple and Samsung models usually sit at around 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi and Honor have pushed that to 95 percent by hiding cameras and trimming down the sides. Tecno says its new design goes all the way to 100 percent. The company says it achieved this by reworking the internal layout and using new methods to seal the screen. These changes remove the last bit of space needed for wiring and safety margins. TECNO measures the border at 0 microns, which is effectively zero. For now, this is only a prototype. We will not see a working version until IFA 2026. TECNO believes the design will make watching videos and playing games feel more immersive because there are no black bars ...

Record companies want AI songs be removed from music charts

Some of the biggest names in the music business are teaming up to stop AI-generated songs from appearing on official charts. Sony, Universal, and Warner are leading the charge, with support from many smaller independent labels. The reason is simple: there is just too much AI music out there right now. Every single day, people upload tens of thousands of computer-made tracks to streaming services. Some of these songs have already become huge hits, landing high on Billboard and Spotify lists. And that does not sit well with the record labels. So, what are they asking for? They want chart companies to bring in stricter rules. Their main demand is that only tracks made mostly by humans should be allowed in the rankings. If a song uses AI, the labels say that use must be completely legal and above board. The coalition is also worried about cheating. They believe some AI tracks could be part of streaming fraud schemes, where people use bots to fake millions of plays. They do ...

BSP launches One QR PH to simplify digital payments

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) officially introduced One QR PH . The system replaces the old setup where stores had to display different QR codes for GCash, Maya, and other digital wallets. Now, one code works for all. Before this change, customers often scanned the wrong code or got confused by mismatched formats. That slowed down lines and frustrated both buyers and sellers. With One QR PH, people can open any participating bank or e-wallet app, scan the same QR, and complete the payment in seconds. The system runs on InstaPay, the central bank’s 24/7 transfer network, so transactions go through even on weekends and holidays. Customers do not pay any fees when using One QR PH to pay merchants. Sellers absorb the charges instead, which makes the system a strong alternative to cash for everyday purchases. Person-to-person transfers still have separate rules and may include fees depending on the app or bank used. The numbers show that Filipinos are embr...

If you think the populated HONOR X series is not confusing enough, wait until you hear that they announced a new one, the HONOR X6e. The HONOR X6e is powered by a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor, paired with 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of expandable storage. It then has a low-resolution 6.61-inch HD+ IPS display, with a high 120Hz refresh rate, and a 1,010-nit peak brightness.
