    Look, a slim phone we can actually touch.

    Samsung has the Galaxy S25 Edge on display here at MWC, but as was the case at Unpacked, it’s strictly hands-off. Tecno, on the other hand, its Spark Slim concept phone powered on and available to handle. It’s 5.75mm thick and includes a 5,200mAh battery. And it sure is slim! So is the company’s tri-fold concept phone, which I caught sight of outside its glass case. Pretty slick, and it even has a name: the Phantom Ultimate 2.

    I want to tell my computer to do things on my computer.

    Motorola’s Smart Connect lets you wirelessly connect a Moto phone to a Lenovo PC, and it’s getting an AI update. And it actually looks useful: you can search for documents with natural language across devices, or tell your phone to cast Instagram on your PC screen. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but abstracting away the part where you tap a bunch of icons to do a thing is supposedly what AI will do for us. I’m ready for it.
