In yet another teaser ahead of its official unveiling later this week, Nothing brought all four colors of the Nothing Phone 4a to MWC in Barcelona. The choice of colors isn't surprising, given Nothing's previous color choices: black, white, and blue. However, for the 4a, the British brand is also introducing pink, a completely new color for the brand. The phones were set behind glass, so I couldn't touch them, but I was still able to get a really good look at all four colors on offer. Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?

Credit: Stan Schroeder/Mashable White is Nothing's bread and butter, and it looks awesome as ever, and blue is pretty nice option if you want something a bit more colorful. Finally, there's black which is...well, black. For those who want that dark cyberpunk aesth...

The potential of modular laptops has never fully translated to the real world. While companies like Framework have made major strides in recent years, there's still quite a bit of room for improvement. At MWC, Lenovo is looking to address that with its Modular AI PC concept. It features not one but two displays and a detachable keyboard to create something that strains the definition of a laptop, thanks to an innovative and very adaptable design. Compared to Framework's gadgets, which primarily use modularity to make upgrading the system and extending its lifespan easier, Lenovo's concept is based around a 14-inch chassis with hot swappable components. This allows you to move its keyboard and secondary display around at will, so the system can better adjust to its environment or workload. By default, its bonus screen is mounted on its lid, allowing you to do easy face-to-face sharing with someone sitting opposite you. However, without even needing to turn the system off, ...

A product briefly posted on the Canadian Best Buy website this weekend suggests Sonos may soon announce a new portable speaker called the Sonos Play. The speaker offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, AirPlay 2 support, Trueplay to tune the sound based on wherever you've placed it and voice controls, according to a page that's since been removed. Best Buy Canada had it listed for $399.99 CAD (or a little under 300 US dollars), and put the release date at March 31. The listing may have been taken down, but not before it was spotted and reposted on Reddit . The product page for the Sonos Play also showed that it comes in two colors, White and Black, and it has a little carrying strap for added convenience. It's IP67 rated dust- and waterproof. Sonos hasn't officially made any announcements about it yet, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one soon.

Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery are officially merging . The studio paid Netflix the $2.8 billion termination fee it was owed for breaking its original deal to buy Warner Bros. earlier today, and the historic film studio has now formally accepted Paramount’s offer. Along with the deal, which values Warner Bros. Discovery at $31 per share, Paramount is making several commitments to assuage the fears of regulators and the entertainment community. Those include a guarantee that the new company will produce 30 theatrical films annually, that theatrical releases will have a minimum 45-day window in theaters before they’re brought to video on demand (something Netflix ultimately also agreed to ) and that deal itself will close by Q3 2026. This turnaround in Paramount's fortunes has happened quickly. Warner Bros. Discovery announced that Paramount's offer was superior to Netflix's on Thursday , and not long after the streaming service said that it wouldn't pr...

RedOctane Games, a relaunched version of one of the studios behind the very first Guitar Hero , has shared a first trailer for its new music game, Stage Tour . The original RedOctane was shut down by Activision in 2010 , and only recently reformed under Embracer Freemode to create a new music game franchise in August 2025. Stage Tour is playable solo or with other players in a band, according to RedOctane , and supports inputs from a keyboard and mouse on top of the expected guitar, drums and microphone accessories. The studio plans to primarily offer the game digitally, but hopes to also sell a bundle with a guitar controller and a download code because "that just feels right." As far as ongoing support goes, whereas games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band included a set tracklist and support for song DLC, it sounds like RedOctane could be taking an approach more inspired by Epic's regular updates to Fortnite . "The plan is regular special events that are more ...

Looking for a ride in a robotaxi? If you live in Chicago, Illinois and Charlotte, North Carolina, you may be able to ride around your city in an autonomous vehicle in the not so distant future. According to a report in TechCrunch , apparently confirmed by locals who spotted the vehicles in their area, Waymo is currently conducting test drives in both cities. Waymo's testing phase deploys Waymo vehicles with human drivers to cities where the Google-owned company is looking to roll out its ride-hailing service. During this phase, Waymo effectively gleans knowledge from the human drivers to best understand the lay of the land. Local road conditions, traffic patterns, and edge cases are all analyzed and mapped out so that the autonomous vehicles are prepared for the location. After months of testing, Waymo will start testing the driverless version of the service. If all goes well, this will be followed by launching the full Waymo experience — where you hail a driverless car on the...

Ubisoft's shakeups continue unabated. The creative director of the next Assassin's Creed game, codenamed Hexe , has left the company. The departure of Clint Hocking, a 20-year veteran of the company over two stints, was reportedly announced in a staff meeting this week. Hocking's resume at Ubisoft included serving as creative director on Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory , Far Cry 2 and Watch Dogs: Legion . The details of why he's leaving the company haven't been reported. Ubisoft told VGC , which first reported on Hocking's exit, that development on Hexe will continue. Jean Guedson, one of three new leaders of the Assassin's Creed franchise, will take over as the upcoming title's new creative director. Guedson had the same role for Assassin's Creed Origins and Black Flag , two of the franchise's most well-received entries. To say sailing hasn't been smooth of late at Ubisoft would be an understatement. Last year, the company reorganized its...
