SEE ALSO: The content creators with the most TikTok followers - see the top 10.The mic features three studio-quality condensers and a 96kHz/24BIT resolution to ensure your voice comes through clearly. You can also choose from four directional pattern modes: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Stereo, and Bidirectional. This makes it easy to adjust your recording style for a solo podcast, a music session, or a game stream.
With the plug-and-play setup, you just connect the included USB cable to your device and start recording. You don't need to download any extra drivers. Most microphones in the $25 price bracket are pretty bare-bones, so getting on-device gain and volume control, along with four recording modes for this price is a solid value.

"Hey, you know what would be cool," a Nothing marketing person probably said at a recent meeting. "If we just posted a photo of our upcoming Nothing 4a online."
"Great idea," Nothing's head of marketing probably answered. "That will give our fans something to chew on as they wait for the official reveal on March 5. And it totally won't spoil the surprise."
We have no proof that the conversation above actually happened, but we do imagine something of the sort did take place, as Nothing decided to post a photo of its upcoming Nothing 4a smartphone, scheduled for a March 5 launch, more than a week ahead of time. Here it is.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed."Built different," the company tweeted, without revealing any additional details.
The image shows the phone from the rear, displaying Nothing's trademark industrial/semi-naked design. It also reveals a new type of Glyph Bar, next to the camera bump, with nine mini-LEDs, likely offering even more customization options.
SEE ALSO: MWC 2026: What to expect at the world's largest phone showOn March 5, the company will likely reveal the rest of the phone, alongside a more powerful option, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro.

Usually, by this time of year, everyone who wants the newest Samsung Galaxy flagship phone already has one. However, we're still waiting for the official announcement of the upcoming Galaxy S26.
There's good news on that front, though: You don't have to wait long. Samsung has confirmed a Galaxy Unpacked event for Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 1 p.m. ET. Since the Galaxy TriFold already went on sale (and immediately sold out) in the West, it's time for Samsung to fully focus on the Galaxy S26. Of course, if you're here, you want to know what the deal is with these phones right now.
Luckily, we've seen numerous leaks and reports before the big unveiling on Wednesday, from the colors and camera specs to cool-sounding display tech called Privacy Display. Catch up on everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy S26 specs, price, and release date.
SEE ALSO: See Samsung Galaxy S26's rumored Privacy Display feature in action What will the Galaxy S26 phones look like?Recently, leaker @onleaks posted a gallery and video on X that claims to show dummy units of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. We can't verify the authenticity of the video, but it looks plausible, at least.
Overall, it looks very similar to the S25 Ultra, as expected, with one notable change — it has a camera bump similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. As 9to5Google points out, because this bump is on the left side of the phone, it will make the phone wobble when placed down on a table or desk. (The TriFold has the same problem.) In comparison, the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max has a more symmetrical shape and thus no wobble.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.However, we would be a little skeptical of this leak. Android Police recently posted its own alleged S26 Ultra leaks, only without the camera bump.
As for colors, leaker Evan Blass posted what could be the full list of color options on X. The colors are:
Black
White
Silver Shadow
Sky Blue
Cobalt Violet
Pink Gold
Those all sound pretty standard for a Samsung phone, so it doesn't seem like the company is doing anything wildly bold this year in terms of colors. That's either a relief or a disappointment to you, depending on how you felt about the controversial cosmic orange iPhone last year.
What models will be included in the S26 lineup?We're expecting three phones at the next Galaxy Unpacked event:
Samsung Galaxy S26
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Less than a year ago, rumors and leaks pointed to a significant shakeup in the Galaxy S26 line. It was said that Samsung would rename the base model to S26 Pro, drop the Plus model that sat in the middle of the annual lineup for years, and replace that with a new Edge phone modeled after last year's S25 Edge (which was something of a flop). However, that's apparently no longer happening, and you can thank Apple for that, per Korean outlet NewsPim (via 9to5google).
How will the S26 differ from the S25? Credit: James Martin / MashableDue to Apple's success in offering significant year-over-year upgrades to the base iPhone 17 (such as a 120Hz display) without raising the price, Samsung has reportedly dropped the Pro branding for the base model and reverted it back to just the Galaxy S26, which was corroborated by a separate report from SamMobile. According to that report, you can expect a retread of the usual S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra lineup in 2026. That may be disappointing to anyone who was expecting a big shakeup based on previous reporting, but if nothing else, it makes it easier to keep track of what's going on.
As for the previously rumored S26 Edge, it's unclear what's going to happen with that. It might be dead, or it might come out later in the year as a separate release like the S25 Edge did. Given that phone's relative lack of success, it might be smart to assume there won't be an S26 Edge at this point.
Galaxy S26 rumored specsFor specs, the rumors aren't particularly surprising. The Galaxy S26 series is currently rumored to have the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, which Qualcomm rebranded to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. There is also a rumor that Samsung will equip some S26 models with an Exynos chip, which Samsung fans hope is the Exynos 2600, which has also been making some noise in the rumor mill lately.
In terms of the small stuff, like storage and RAM, there have been some small rumblings. One rumor says that the Galaxy S26 (all models) will feature 16GB of RAM, a 4GB increase from the last few years, and the most a Galaxy phone has had since the Galaxy S21 Ultra. In terms of storage capacity, there are no rumors that anything will change, so the 128GB base (256GB on the Ultra) is likely to remain in place for now, with upgraded storage available as an option.
Galaxy S26: Is a price hike coming?We're in the midst of a major global memory shortage, and this has been very bad news for smartphone and laptop shoppers (you can blame the AI industry for hogging all the RAM). And according to leaker @kro_roe, this could not only lead to an S26 price hike, but also the end of a popular launch offer.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Typically, when Samsung launches a new phone, customers who pre-order or purchase at launch can claim double the storage at no extra cost. But with RAM in short supply, that may no longer be the case. The most recent rumors suggest that Samsung hasn't landed on a final price for the S26 phones, however.
That last part is important because it's very possible that the prices won't change after all. At least one new report suggests Samsung is trying to make sure the prices don't increase from last year, even if that means the company has to eat some of the cost of each unit sold.
Battery and chargingBased on early rumors, this may be one of the most interesting changes coming to the S26 lineup. Samsung has been working on a stacked battery design that would allow for more dense batteries in the same physical space. This could bring a long-awaited bump to battery size. According to early rumors, the S26 Ultra is slated to come with a 5,500 mAh stacked battery, a 10 percent increase from the S25 Ultra.
Samsung reportedly experimented with removing a camera to add even more battery capacity, but that doesn't mean it's certain to happen in the mass-produced model. While the S26 Pro was rumored to have a bigger 4,900mAh battery compared to previous base model Galaxy phones, NewsPim's report claimed that the base S26 (now that it's no longer a Pro device) has been adjusted down to a more modest 4,300mAh cell.
For charging, it’s unlikely that the Galaxy S26 series will get a serious upgrade. Samsung is definitely working on 60W wired charging, but so far, it seems that Samsung will wait for the Galaxy S27 series (or later) to implement it. This could change as we get closer to launch for the S26 series, but for now, it seems that 45W will be around for at least one more year. There are also rumors that wireless charging may see a bump to the Qi2 standard
Galaxy S26: What about the cameras?The camera system in the Galaxy S26 series may change quite a bit, and there are a few different rumors that say different things. Jumping right in, one older rumor says that the S26 series will have the same megapixel count but will feature a new, as-of-yet unannounced sensor from the same ISOCELL GN series as prior Samsung models. On the Galaxy S26 Ultra, a 200MP camera is rumored, as is a 324MP lens with a 50MP, 3x telephoto lens. It’s more likely that Samsung will do the 200MP with a new sensor, but all leaks are being considered right now.
S25 Ultra with its five cameras. Credit: James Martin / MashableIn addition, there are rumors that Samsung will bring back its variable aperture on the main shooter, which Samsung hasn’t included on its camera system since the Galaxy S10 series back in 2019. As previously mentioned, Samsung may be considering dropping the number of cameras to three instead of four, like on prior models, to make space for a larger battery. Other rumors about the camera include a dual periscope design that’ll magnify to 8x, but that is just speculation at this time.
However, many of these rumors come from the time when we thought Samsung was significantly altering the S26 lineup. Newer reports indicate that, at least for the base S26 and S26 Plus, things won't change that much from previous years. According to Korean outlet The Elec, those two phones will have the exact same megapixel count on the triple-lens rear array as previous Galaxy models: a 50MP wide lens, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. Those have been the specs going all the way back to the Galaxy S22. If you were hoping for big changes in the cheaper S26 models this year, you have our condolences.
As we have gotten closer to the Unpacked event, Samsung has given us a little tease about photography that's worth discussing briefly. The company announced in a very vague press release that AI editing tools for photos and videos will live in one unified app experience, rather than asking users to switch from one app to another for their AI editing needs. Whether this means all of that stuff will live in the basic camera app remains to be seen, but for frequent photo editors, this is worth keeping an eye on.
Other features and hardwareAndroid Police recently alerted us to a very interesting feature that could make its debut with the S26: A new mode called Privacy Display. This rumored feature would make the display resemble a frosted screen protector, except it would be built into the UI. This leak comes from Samsung itself, so it's all but confirmed.
Other details on the Galaxy S26 lineup are pretty predictable. It’ll come with the latest One UI out of the gate with the latest version of Android. That is no surprise, and we don’t need rumors to predict that one. The S26 series will likely get One UI 8.5, which is slated for a rather large redesign along with a host of new features, including the aforementioned privacy screen feature. According to rumor, the redesign emulates Apple’s Liquid Glass in some ways with transparent UI elements.
The only other piece of hardware we haven’t talked about is the S-Pen. Samsung appears to be set to do something big with the S-Pen. The rumors speculate that the S-Pen is sticking around and will come with some upgrades. The new functionality may have something to do with how magnetic accessories work, and this seems to be linked to the aforementioned Qi2 wireless charging upgrade.
We'll find out how much (if any) of this is true in just a matter of weeks, going by previous Samsung announcement timelines.
John Oliver has given his opinion on the current state of X (formerly Twitter) — and as you can probably imagine, he doesn't pull any punches.
In the Last Week Tonight episode above, the host summarises the many issues the platform has faced since Elon Musk took over — from changes to the verification system to users being fed right-wing content and misinformation.
"The fact is, a massive media platform has been shaped in the image of its poisonous owner, and it doesn't seem like Elon's gonna see the error of his ways anytime soon — seeing his brain seems to be thoroughly cooked by the garbage he consumes on his own site," Oliver says.
The host's conclusion? Stop posting on the platform altogether.
"There are certain areas, like news in particular, where Twitter is now worse than useless," Oliver says. "In fact, for breaking news, it is an active liability, as people routinely push out false information in the wake of tragedies and crises, often for money, and there don't seem to be many guardrails to stop them.
"All of which is really a long way of saying that the Twitter that we may have once relied on and the Twitter that was fun and occasionally useful is just well and truly gone. And collectively, while it might be sad, it might be past time for all of us to, if I may borrow a truly poisoned phrase, let that sink in."

We knew that Honor is about to bring its oddball Robot Phone to this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
What we didn't know, however, that the company is also bringing its first-ever AI-powered humanoid robot to the show.
SEE ALSO: MWC 2026: What to expect at the world's largest phone showHonor announced the news on Monday via a teaser video on X, featuring both the Robot Phone and its robotic camera, and the unnamed humanoid robot.
"Something revolutionary is about to step out of the shadows. We’ve combined cutting-edge robotics with the ultimate mobile experience. The result? Something you have to see to believe," the company wrote in a tweet.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The video actually gives us a decent glimpse of the robot, which looks just like you'd expect: a humanoid clad in matte black with a glass face, and a light bar where its eyes should be (the robot also appears to have a single camera on its forehead). In another image (below), sent to Mashable by Honor, the robot is seen from the side.
Slightly odd head shape on this one, but we'll let it slide for now. Credit: HonorHonor shared some details about the upcoming robot with Bloomberg. Apparently, the robot will be a "service robot" which should be able to help you out with shopping, among other tasks.
Other details are scarce, except that the robot will somehow be connected with Honor's Robot Phone, which will also be shown in Barcelona.

The explicit tube site Pornhub is now blocked in 23 U.S. states.
This is due to age-verification laws. These laws vary state by state, but typically require visitors of a site with over a third of explicit content to submit a government ID or other form of age authentication. Louisiana was the first state to enact such a bill a couple of years ago, and now others have followed suit. In June, the Supreme Court deemed Texas's age-verification law constitutional, setting a precedent for such bills that come before and after.
SEE ALSO: Porn censorship is going to destroy the entire internetAccording to one preliminary study, age verification won't work to keep minors off porn sites. This is because of software like VPNs that allow someone to appear to be in a different location, and because of non-compliant websites. (The Florida attorney general is suing foreign-based porn sites for not instituting age verification.) Yet, these laws keep getting passed — and are encroaching on non-explicit websites as well, experts told Mashable.
While Pornhub is not blocked in Louisiana, it is blocked in these states, a Pornhub representative confirmed to Mashable:
Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
Georgia
Idaho
Kansas
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Virginia
Wyoming
Pornhub isn't blocked in Ohio despite the state's age-verification law, due to a clause stating that establishing age verification methods doesn't apply to a provider of an interactive computer service (Aylo considers itself one).
In Louisiana, where users must submit ID to view Pornhub, the site has seen traffic decline by around 80 percent, Aylo (Pornhub's parent company) told Mashable.
"These people did not stop looking for porn. They just migrated to darker corners of the internet that don't ask users to verify age, that don't follow the law, that don't take user safety seriously, and that often don't even moderate content. In practice, the laws have just made the internet more dangerous for adults and children," Aylo stated when asked for comment by Mashable back in January.
In a statement to Mashable, Aylo continued:
First, to be clear, Aylo has publicly supported age verification of users for years, but we believe that any law to this effect must preserve user safety and privacy, and must effectively protect children from accessing content intended for adults.
Unfortunately, the way many jurisdictions worldwide have chosen to implement age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous. Any regulations that require hundreds of thousands of adult sites to collect significant amounts of highly sensitive personal information is putting user safety in jeopardy. Moreover, as experience has demonstrated, unless properly enforced, users will simply access non-compliant sites or find other methods of evading these laws.
Industry experts say that, in addition to not working for their intended purpose, age verification laws also raise concerns about privacy protection and safety since websites now have to host (even more of) people's personal information. It will be harder to be anonymous online, which experts warn is dangerous to free speech. Adult industry experts Mashable spoke to in an explainer on age-verification laws advocated for device-level filters, as did Aylo in its statement.
SEE ALSO: YouTube will begin using AI for age verification next weekSome in the adult industry worry about what Trump's second presidential term will bring due to the conservative policy outline Project 2025 and its measures to ban porn. One of Project 2025's authors, Russell Vought, was caught on a secret recording stating that age-verification laws are the "back door" to a broader porn ban.

Thanks for signing up!The Saros Z70 boasts powerful cleaning performance: 22,000Pa suction power for vacuuming and 200RPM pad spinning speed alongside 30 adjustable water flow levels for mopping. It also features the StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 for smart navigation and obstacle avoidance. It's most unusual feature is the OmniGrip mechanical arm, which can move things like socks and tissues out of the way. In our review from Mashable's Leah Stodart, she said "the arm has been so hit or miss for me that I'd probably just turn the feature off completely."
However, she does note that mopping is where the Saros Z70 really shines, saying she's "so glad that Roborock opted to give the Z70 dual spinning mopping pads like the Saros 10R has." She continued on to say that, "they provide better angles and floor agitation to scrub drier stains."
Since it's listed as a limited-time deal, it may not stay on sale for very long. Now is the time to make a move on the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop.
Awards season is into the very thick of it now, with the 2026 BAFTA winners announced on Sunday.

Whatever mad scientist is responsible for bringing together Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, you have my sincerest thanks.
The two star in NBC's The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, a sports mockumentary from 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Robert Carlock and Sam Means. At first glance, Morgan and Radcliffe may seem like an unexpected pair: one a boisterous comedy legend, the other the lead of one of the most successful fantasy franchises of all time. Yet their odd-couple dynamic turns Reggie Dinkins into pure gold.
SEE ALSO: Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez dish on bringing 'Merrily We Roll Along' from stage to screen What's The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins about? Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, and Tracy Morgan in "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins." Credit: Scott Gries / NBCMorgan plays Reggie Dinkins, a former running back for the New York Jets whose career imploded after a gambling scandal. Years later, he's ready for an image rehabilitation, so he enlists Academy Award–winning director Arthur Tobin (Radcliffe) to make a documentary about his life.
Of course, what Reggie wants and what Arthur wants are two very different things. Reggie wants to look perfect, scripting out his every on-camera move. Arthur wants the truth, hoping to paint a picture of the man behind the public disgrace. That contrast — as well as their clashing worlds of pro sports and documentary filmmaking — fuels Morgan and Radcliffe's irresistible chemistry.
SEE ALSO: 'Paradise' Season 2 review: Great things lie beyond the bunker Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe lead an incredible cast. Credit: Scott Gries / NBCFrom SNL to 30 Rock, there's no denying Morgan's hilarity. Radcliffe, too, has shown off his comedic chops in projects like Miracle Workers and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend. While their Reggie Dinkins characters gel like rubber and glue at first, Morgan and Radcliffe are the comedy equivalent of peanut butter and jelly: perfectly complementary, and a joy to savor.
Morgan brings a lot of his heightened 30 Rock zaniness to Reggie, dropping outrageous line reads that will burn in your brain. Radcliffe often plays more of the straight man to Morgan's documentary-staging hijinks, but Reggie Dinkins quickly reveals that Arthur isn't as buttoned-up as he appears. Whether he's crashing out on a Marvel movie set or joyfully jazz scatting, there's a high-energy dork beneath Arthur's auteur surface, and Radcliffe brings that to life with gusto.
SEE ALSO: 'House of the Dragon' Season 3 teaser gives fiery glimpse of the Battle of the GulletMorgan and Radcliffe are joined by a cast of comedy heavy hitters, including Bobby Moynihan as Reggie's best friend Rusty and Erika Alexander as Reggie's ex-wife and manager Monica. Moynihan is perfect as a lovably daffy wild card, and Alexander works wonders as a savvy businesswoman whose competitiveness is ready to jump out at any moment. Rounding out the main cast are Precious Way as Reggie's fiancée Brina and Jalyn Hall as Reggie and Monica's son Carmelo. The two younger actors fit right at home in this cast of more established names, and the result is an ensemble that blends brilliantly right off the bat.
The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins is catnip for 30 Rock fans. Credit: Scott Gries / NBCBetween Morgan, Carlock, and Means' involvement, Reggie Dinkins spoke to my 30 Rock-loving soul. The show keeps up 30 Rock's same lightning-fast clip, peppered with unexpected, biting pop culture references and cutaway gags that will have you gasping for air. Clips from Reggie's spokesperson days recall Jenna Maroney's strangest advertisement work, while a glimpse of Reggie's music career has me hoping for a "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"-level banger down the line. (Brina's ultra-catchy Reggie jingle, used as the song's theme, is already an earworm.)
Reggie Dinkins being a mockumentary does switch up the 30 Rock formula a bit, adding in confessionals and some The Office-style Jim looks to camera. Carlock and Means have already proven they can nail the mockumentary style thanks to episodes like 30 Rock's reality show parody "Queen of Jordan" or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's true crime riff "Party Monster." Their familiarity with the genre gets a bigger chance to shine across a full season, especially as they bring behind-the-scenes characters like Arthur in front of the camera. Watching Arthur embrace being on-camera adds a new dimension to the show's mockumentary approach, setting it apart from the strong crop of current mockumentary sitcoms like Abbott Elementary, St. Denis Medical, and The Paper. As a result, and with the inspired combination of Morgan and Radcliffe, Reggie Dinkins is a winning sitcom that feels both familiar and fresh.
