Sirius XM has a new radio receiver coming soon called the Lynx SXi1, a touchscreen-powered device that runs a modified version of the Android operating system. We know this because a now-removed Best Buy product page revealed the device to the Internet’s teeming masses before the retailer could pull the listing down.

The product page included an image (above) as well as a full set of details about the receiver (via Music Sink). It sports a micro SDHC slot, so you can bring along some of your own music as well as listening to Sirius XM content. There’s also a built-in wireless chip and multitouch support for the touchscreen display. The rechargeable battery delivers 30 hours of operation on a single charge, according to the product documentation.

Unfortunately, the one thing that was missing from the Best Buy page was a release date. Though with the product shot looking so final, “soon” is probably a safe bet. It looks like the Lynx will retail (at Best Buy at least) for $249.99.

Researchers have unveiled a new AI video generation technique called TurboDiffusion that can create synthetic videos at near-instant speed. It can generate AI video up to 200 times faster than with existing methods, without sacrificing visual quality.

The work is a joint effort between ShengShu Technology, Tsinghua University, and researchers affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley. According to its developers, the system is designed to dramatically cut the time it takes to generate video, a process that has traditionally been slow and computationally expensive.

Whether you're snapping photos on the best camera phone or using a proper camera, getting everything from the foreground to the background in focus is almost always out of the question. A new breakthrough, however, may soon make that a very real possibility.

Researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University have successfully developed a new kind of camera lens that offers spatially selective focusing, which can allow cameras to focus on an entire scene at once. A blog post about the development details that this tech can capture photos "where every detail, near and far, is perfectly sharp—from the flower petal right in front of you to the distant trees on the horizon."

Samsung OLED concept for robot

Every year, Samsung’s display division gives us a taste of concept devices with cutting-edge screens, some of which eventually appear on mass-market hardware down the road. Remember the dual folding concept from 2021, which only became a proper product in late 2025 as the Galaxy Z TriFold? Well, at CES 2026, Samsung is giving another glimpse into the future.
