The tri-fold Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 is thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6

Foldable phones are having a moment, but alongside the release of new book-style foldables and flip-style phones, some are experimenting with new concepts. We've seen a few foldables with two hinges instead of one, but the latest concept unveiled at MWC 2025 could be the most polished yet.

This was predicted by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman who expected a March launch. Given that today is the first business day in March, that prediction is right on track.

SEC Tournament seeding for South Carolina and Texas was decided by a coin flip. Yes, really.

Adrien Brody’s record-breaking Oscar speech was a case study in entitlement

By demanding preferential treatment, taking up valuable time, and misreading the room, Brody put on a master class in how not to behave at work.

There’s more to winning than just winning. The way someone handles their tremendous success, after all, can transform a winner back into a loser—something Adrien Brody proved last night with a rambling, rule-defiant acceptance speech that managed to snatch reputational defeat from the jaws of career victory. With many of his peers gathered...
