We have reached a strange point in the timeline of smartphone history. Every year like clockwork, the giants of the industry take the stage to unveil their latest glass rectangles. The numbers go up. The graphs point up. The cameras have more megapixels and the processors have higher clock speeds.

Yet for the average user, the reason to be excited about these these specific numbers has all but vanished

I was recently browsing Amazon for smartwatch deals when I stumbled across the CMF Watch Pro 3 for just $79. I admit that I didn't know much about this watch going in. The more I looked into it, the more I realized it might be exactly what I needed.

With rumored measurements for the Apple iPhone Fold screens in hand, I used some quick math and a 3D printer to make a scale mock-up to compare the screen size and aspect ratio of the unannounced device to other popular foldables.

Apple has long been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone, often referred to as the iPhone Fold. The question has never been whether Apple would enter the foldable market, but when. Recent leaks and analyst reports suggest the company may be closer than ever, though details remain speculative. Here’s a look at the most notable rumors so far.

A few years ago, the rising costs pushed me to explore the world of over-the-air (OTA) television). I even posted a video about a device called Air TV, which grabbed an antenna signal and streamed it to other devices via Sling TV. It was okay, but I have since found something much better that completely future-proofs my setup: the HDHomeRun Flex 4K.

Sometimes, a series of events is so painfully obvious beforehand that you can't even brag about predicting it—everyone should have seen it coming. The trend of ultra-slim slab phones, like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and the iPhone Air, is exactly one of those scenarios. In a very short time, reports suggest this trend is dying a rapid, expected death.

We phone enthusiasts love new gadgets. The release of a new phone often brings with it a flurry of excitement around the latest processors, camera sensors and display technologies. It's easy to get caught up in the numbers the megapixels, the gigahertz, the refresh rates. These are the theoretical capabilities of a device, and while they offer a glimpse into what a phone could do, they rarely tell the whole story of what it's actually like to use.

The world of foldable smartphones continues to evolve rapidly, with manufacturers constantly pushing the boundaries of design and functionality. Today, Tecno has unveiled their new Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept, a tri-fold device that looks quite similar to what Samsung’s much rumored tri-fold could look like.

The foldable smartphone market continues to develop, and Honor has now officially introduced its new Magic V5. At first glance, the Magic V5 maintains a familiar aesthetic, closely resembling its predecessor. Digging a bit closer reveals a host of improvements like as insane reduction in thickness, down to 4.1mm when opened. This allows Honor to once again claim the throne of thinnest foldable away from Oppo’s Find N5.

In a new post on Chinese Social Media platform Weibo, one of the most consistently accurate tech tipsters has revealed what Apple’s first folding phone might look like as well as some specs.

When it comes to the form factor of a phone, everyone is going to have their own preferences for things like height, width, thickness, and weight. We're all going to have our own preferences, and each of these things are going to be weighted differently depending on what it is you actually do prefer. For me, when it comes to these folding phones, all I really wanted was to get to the point where we are about as thick as a standard phone when closed, and maybe just as importantly, where we weigh what a normal phone weighs.

I don’t know what it is about Chinese Android OEMs and multitasking features, but we’ve got another new way of jumping between two apps that I absolutely am going to need to see get copied. In a post on Weibo teasing the impossibly thin Vivo X Fold5, we got a glimpse of a new multitasking interface that looks totally different than anything we’ve seen on Android before.
