Reports claim that Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra may feature self-healing glass co-developed with Corning; minor scratches can be automatically filled
Source: Global Times 【Global Times Science and Technology Comprehensive Report】On August 25, a latest report from Androidauthority indicated that Samsung’s next-generation flagship Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to introduce a highly practical new feature. The new device will come with special glass with self-healing capabilities that can automatically complete repair filling for minor scratches on the device’s surface. This weekend, industry observer Schr?dinger disclosed on a social platform that Samsung is jointly developing a brand-new self-healing surface coating with Corning. This technology will be applied to the next-generation Gorilla Armor gorilla armor glass. Based on current technical specifications, the glass with a self-healing coating is temporarily not as good as conventional tempered glass in terms of initial scratch resistance. However, thanks to its ability to automatically fill in tiny scratches, the improvement in long-term user experience is enough to offset the impact of that performance trade-off.

Say Goodbye to 66 Steps! This Baoshan Bridge Now Has a Vertical Elevator!
(Source: The Paper) In Baoshan, the Kangning Road Bridge has been completed for more than 10 years. However, because there were no elevators, residents have long suffered when walking across the bridge—struggling to go up and down. Climbing 66 steps up and then walking down is by no means easy for middle-aged and elderly residents. Now, vertical elevators have been built on both the south and north sides of the bridge. After the equipment is commissioned and debugged, residents will be able to move up and down the bridge with ease. Kangning Road is a major north-south thoroughfare that connects Baoshan District and the urban center. The Kangning Road Bridge over the Huizao River is an important node. In mid-August this year, some residents noticed that elevators had been built at both the north and south ends of the Kangning Road Bridge. They spread the news far and wide; some even came to the site to watch and try them out, hoping the elevators will be put into use as soon as possible.

Editor’s note The old houses with blue brick walls bear the marks of wear and the passage of time, engraving the bustling years of generations; they preserve warm memories of neighbors standing by one another. With new buildings rising from the ground, they place people’s hopes for a better, more livable life and carry a brand-new promise for the city’s iterative upgrades. As urban renewal efforts in Shanghe County move deeper, the reconstruction and renovation work for old residential areas across the jurisdiction has been fully launched. A series of housing projects that take into account cultural preservation, people’s well-being, and urban quality are being implemented in an orderly and solid manner on this fertile land. Before the relocation of the Dongjiu Distillery area, Guo Peizhi and his old neighbors left a group photograph in front of the bungalow homes in the staff quarters. In their smiles were both anticipation and reluctance to say goodbye; today, the old neighbors gather again in the newly built Koningli community. As light and shadow shift, they witness a transformation and upgrade of urban renewal in Shanghe County, and they also tell a heartfelt story of how warmth and care between neighbors endure.

[City Updates] Waterlogging on Kanning Road During the Morning Rush Hour — Traffic Police Quickly Handle the Situation to Keep Roads Open
(Source: The Paper) On the morning of August 10, 2026, heavy short-duration rainfall caused waterlogging on parts of Kanning Road.

Exclusive: Position Adjustment for Kang Ning, Section Chief in China Telecom’s Government and Enterprise Department—Appointed Deputy General Manager of a Newly Established Company
?Operation and Finance Network Wu BIhui/By Around when China Telecom Group’s government and enterprise unit’s Internet industry division’s second department chief was promoted and transferred, he was appointed as deputy general manager of a newly established AIDC company, but his rank remained unchanged—still a third-level senior officer. Kang Ning had actually been working in the group’s government and enterprise department quite early. In the past, when that department was still called the “Government and Enterprise Customers Business Department,” he served as deputy director of the IDC operation center. That likely explains why he was chosen to take on the role of deputy general manager of the newly established AIDC branch company—he already had a solid track record. Later, around 2021, Kang Ning received a promotion and was appointed CEO of the second department of the Internet industry business division under the government and enterprise information services business group. His main responsibilities included internet enterprises such as social, media, games, and portals, as well as new infrastructure services like IDC and CDN.
