Vivo invests a lot in the camera performance of its smartphones, but the iQOO flagships have been missing a proper telephoto camera with a periscope lens in front. According to Digital Chat Station, this will change in the iQOO 12 Pro, and there will be one with a 64 MP sensor behind.

Digital Chat Station shared the image of a prototype nubia flagship sitting next to the current nubia Z50S Pro. It puts into perspective just how much bigger the lens and resulting camera module have to be in order to accommodate a 1-inch sensor over the current 1/1.49-inch unit in the Z50S Pro. The tipster goes on to say that the phone in the...
Foldables get a bad rep for being too fragile, which is understandable given the new form factor, soft inner screens and the moving parts in the hinge. However, they've come a long way and the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 can withstand a serious beating. In the latest JerryRigEverything video, the vertical foldable undergoes a brutal torture test. Aside from the usual scratching and burning, the Z Flip5 had to go through sand and backward bending. Not only did the hinge survive all the dust that was sprinkled on it, but the inner screen was still fully functional even after spreading some...
The Samsung Galaxy Z fold series has turned into an echelon in the foldable smartphone segment, and thanks to Samsung's production capacity, the company can compete in pretty much all markets across the globe.
