OnePlus 15 Global Launch Today: 7,300mAh ‘Marathon’ Battery, No Magnets, and a New Direction for the Brand

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra may debut ‘Polar ID’ polarized‑light face unlock without IR hardware

Early test firmware references suggest Samsung is exploring a new facial authentication system called Polar ID for the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

No More Buttons?! iPhone 20 Leak Teases Radical 2027 Redesign & Camera Shake-Up

Apple appears poised to fundamentally change how we interact with the iPhone by the time its 20th anniversary rolls around in 2027.

Instead of clickable mechanical keys for power, volume, and other functions, the phone’s aluminum frame itself would serve as the input surface – with pressure-sensitive areas and haptic feedback mimicking the feel of clicks. In other words, no moving parts: you’d press on a solid piece of the iPhone’s side, and built-in sensors plus vibration motors would register the command and “fake” a click feeling under your finger macrumors.com appleinsider.com.
