Earlier this week, we posted impressions of the newly unveiled Sony Xperia P (learn about its WhiteMagic screen here) and Sony Xperia U, but we couldn’t grab any pictures of the new lineup as a whole. Sony is calling these devices its ‘NXT’ (pronounced Next) series. Above are some shots of the two devices, along with the larger Xperia S, which was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show last month. The phones each come in different colors and all feature an aluminum shell and that funny looking strip of clear plastic. 

For kicks, I’ve included a couple pictures of Sony’s Xperia media dock. It’s compatible with the Xperia S, I believe.

New video teases the Samsung Galaxy S25’s big AI upgrades
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra's screen.

Samsung has hinted at an AI-powered phone for ages now, and we always expected the Galaxy S25 series to focus largely on Galaxy AI.

In the video, a woman tells the AI, "Hey, I'm off to my next meeting, but I need to find an Italian restaurant. Outdoor seating, pet friendly, of course. Can you send that to Luca? Oh, and can you put that in my calendar?" That's a complex series of requests, spoken with a natural, meandering cadence, and the AI appears to take it all in without missing a beat. Her request for a restaurant also implies the AI knows her preferences well enough to suggest a location she would like.

The OnePlus 13 has started receiving its first major software update post launch, and this one is quite heavy on changes. The most notable among them is the arrival of on-device AI chops courtesy of Google’s Gemini Nano model.

Unlike Google’s Pixel 9 series phones, Gemini Nano is taking a rather modest approach with what it can pull off on the OnePlus flagship. The official changelog only mentions support for “AI features” in the Google Messages app.

When Samsung first announced its Galaxy Unpacked event, fans speculated that four devices would be announced — one for each of the four lines on the event invite. On the other hand, other leaks have all but confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim wouldn't make an appearance until Q2 or later.

The most recent news gives us a more narrow window: sometime in May. It also suggests the Slim might show up at Unpacked, after all — just with a much later delivery.
