Not to be outdone, Samsung seems to have their own two-hinged folding device in the works as well. According the patents and other leaks, their Galaxy G Fold could feature a design that sees both hinges fold inward to fully protect the fragile folding glass. Users will have an independent cover display to use when it’s closed. While this should be the phone more durable, it will also remove the three-form-factor capability of the Mate XT.

Similar to Huawei's Mate XT, it appears Samsung's forthcoming foldable device, internally designated as Q7M and bearing the model number SM-F968, is poised for a potentially restricted initial release. Confirming this suspicion, Phandroid uncovered database entries within the GSMA repository, revealing specific regional variants: SM-F968N earmarked for the South Korean market and SM-F9680 intended for the Chinese market.

This focused regional strategy bears a striking resemblance to the limited release of last year's Samsung Z Fold Special Edition. The fact that only two model numbers have been spotted is a bummer that while not definitively ruling out a global launch, significantly diminishes its likelihood.

If Samsung does the same thing they did with that Special Edition phone, chances are, this new foldable will only launch in South Korea and China at first. Then, if it does well there, they might decide to sell it in more regions the following year. Keep in mind, the Z Fold7 appears to be an upgraded Z Fold Special Edition. We could see a similar approach here.

Just yesterday, I posted a video and article discussing the escalating impact of tariffs on electronics, noting how they were beginning to affect both pricing and availability. We saw OnePlus increase the price of their Watch 3 in the U.S. from $329 to $499, and hardware OEMs like Framework and Razer halting sales of certain items. Framework explicitly cited tariffs as the reason.

OnePlus just raised the price of the Watch 3 by a huge amount and we all know why. The impact of these tariffs could be widespread and the dents are already beginning to accumulate.

There are few things I love more than when a tech company takes something that seems obvious, a standard that no one else is bothering to play with and takes things in a new direction just to see what would happen. With the Pura X, Huawei has done just that with the flip phone concept.

Google has officially announced the planned phase-out of the classic Google Assistant, confirming the shift towards its generative AI-powered successor, Gemini.

When you picture a multi-fold phone, you probably imagine a big screen, right? That's definitely the trend, with the Huawei Mate XT boasting a 10.2-inch display and the rumored Samsung’s Multi-Fold expected to be in that range as well. It's easy to see the appeal – a phone that can fit in your pocket and also turn into a full-sized tablet makes a lot of sense.

My first ever smartphone was the Palm Pre and a big reason for that was the physical keyboard. At the time, I was skeptical that typing on a touchscreen would be an enjoyable experience. All these years later, I can confirm that my intuition still rings true - I simply do not enjoy typing on glass. Anytime I can I fall back to voice to text to avoid allowing my clumsy digits to mangle my messages with typos. Thank god for Pixel’s Proofread function..

When word broke back in September of 2024 that Huawei was launching this insane piece of tech, the internet basically melted down. My reaction video hit nearly 100K views which is particularly impressive given how little I cover Huawei. It was clear from the buzz alone that this would be an important device - even Samsung appears set to respond.

As someone who has used Mint Mobile for years now, the only real downside that I’ve come across is the fact that like many carriers, their unlimited data wasn’t truly unlimited. Once you hit 40GB of data, which if we’re being honest is a ton, your speeds would be limited to a degree that might make your phone hard to use.

After owning the title of World’s Thinnest Foldable for quite a while, the Honor Magic V3 is set to be surpassed by the Oppo Find N5 which launches this Thursday. Still, coming in at 4.35mm, Honor’s foldable remains an engineering wonder.

One of the earliest pioneers of smartwatches is apparently making a surprising Eric Migicovsky, one of the founders of the original Pebble smartwatch, recently announced plans to revive the brand as well the news that PebbleOS was going Open Source.

As part of my job as a full-time tech YouTuber I spend a lot of time reading comments. Probably too much time, if I’m honest. Generally speaking, when I read my comments I end up learning something about other people’s perspectives and seeing how people react to my work helps me be better at my job. That being said, I have to admit that sometimes reading the comments can be a bit annoying. As hard as I try to keep in mind that most things I’m reading are highly subjective and therefore no one is wrong there is still that human part of me that thinks “Oh my god, you are just so wrong about this.” Most recently, this has been with AI.
