The camera bump problem has quietly become one of those things smartphone designers just accept these days. Every generation, the sensors get bigger, the modules get thicker, and the back of your phone starts looking like a small mountain range. Infinix decided to do something about that with the NOTE 60 Ultra, working with Pininfarina […]

LEGO has a way of taking things you already love and making you love them in a completely new format. Formula 1 has been getting a lot of that treatment lately, and the brand’s latest direction is hard to argue with: brick-built driver helmets, sized for your shelf and detailed enough to stop anyone mid-step.

Physical controls are having a moment. Volkswagen and Subaru are bringing back buttons and dials after years of touchscreen regret. Ferrari’s first EV was designed with Jony Ive’s studio around toggle switches and analog-style gauges. Across the design world, the message is clear: tactile isn’t nostalgia, it’s better design. The Astell&Kern PD20 arrives right in

Overhead lighting was never built for you specifically. It floods an entire room without discrimination, casting flat light across everything and solving nothing in particular. A well-chosen desk lamp operates differently — it targets exactly where concentration happens, reduces strain during long sessions, and brings something intentional to a space that a ceiling fixture simply

Some design objects earn their place on your table through sheer visual presence. The Dollight series from dolop does exactly that: a collection of sculptural table lamps that somehow manage to be playful, sophisticated, and deeply personal all at once. They’re the kind of lighting that makes you rethink what a lamp can be. Designed

Audio setups for creators have long followed a predictable pattern: buy a microphone, download some software, spend an afternoon reading forums about signal chains, and still end up with a slightly imperfect result. Elgato spent five years watching that process play out across hundreds of thousands of real setups. Wave Next is what they built

There’s a particular kind of friction that comes with using AI during moments that actually matter. You’re in a meeting or a keynote, and consulting your phone means breaking focus, fumbling with a screen, and silently signaling to everyone around you that you’d rather be somewhere else. Motorola’s 312 Labs team identified this as a

The iPad has a funny relationship with its own potential. Apple builds these devices with silicon that outpaces many laptops, pairs them with displays that creative professionals genuinely covet, sandwiches everything into one impossibly sleek slab of glass and aluminum… and then just announces them without obsessively planning the broader ecosystem. The Magic Keyboard, while

Solar charging on a laptop lid has been a niche curiosity since Samsung tried it with the NC215S netbook in 2011, a machine that needed two full hours of midday sun to buy you a single hour of runtime. Rough trade. The idea largely disappeared after that, surfacing occasionally in concept form, most recently with

The trifold idea has been tested to death on phones. Samsung, Huawei, and a handful of Chinese manufacturers have each taken their shot at folding a smartphone screen into thirds, with varying results. The Huawei Mate XT made headlines in 2024 as the world’s first mass-produced trifold phone, and then Huawei went further and stuffed
