This is the vivo X Fold5 and it's coming to a few global markets! The phone is the successor to the vivo X Fold3 and X Fold3 Pro. There is not going to be an X Fold4, and it's likely that this X Fold5 will be the vanilla and Pro in one. The vivo X Fold5 ships with a USB-A to USB-C cable, a 90W charger, and a case. Vivo pushed the envelope with the design of the X Fold5. It's thinner than its predecessor - 9.2mm vs 11.2mm when folded, 4.3mm vs 5.2mm when open. That's a big difference. The new phone is also lighter at 224 grams compared to the old phone's 236 grams. The X Fold5...
They are here – Samsung launched its next-gen foldables this week. This includes a new Fold and a new Flip model and, for the first time, a cheaper Flip FE. Do you have your eyes set on a particular model – and if yes, which one? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is significantly thinner than its predecessor – it went from 12.1mm/5.6mm to 8.9mm/4.2mm when folded/unfolded. It’s lighter too, 215g vs. 239g. That’s 3g less than the S25 Ultra! However, Samsung had to make some sacrifices: the battery capacity stayed the same (4,400mAh) as did charging (25W/15W) and S Pen support has been...
Some people hate the looks, others hate the price – there was very little love shown for the Nothing Phone (3) in last week’s poll. The design is certainly divisive and is a major misstep from a company that is so laser-focused on innovative design. Nothing also got overly ambitious with the pricing – the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and non-LTPO display on an $800/£800/€800/₹80,000 phone attracted a lot of criticism in the comments. And those aren’t the only non-flagship features either. Plus, the small 5,150mAh battery feels like a waste of Si/C tech. It’s not so bad in the US market where...
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic is the new middle ground in the Galaxy smartwatch series. It sits above the baseline Watch8 and borrows some features from the Galaxy Watch Ultra while still keeping its signature rotating bezel. There’s nothing surprising inside the box, Samsung is giving you a magnetic wireless charging pad attached to a USB-C cable. Our review unit comes in Black, which has some contrasting stainless-steel elements, giving off a sharp and elegant look. It comes with the faux leather watch band, which is sadly proprietary, so you can’t just swap out any old 20mm band...

Luxury device maker Caviar is back with new custom smartphones that cost thousands of dollars, and this time, we are talking about the freshly announced Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7's Cabubu Edition. Caviar's Cabubu collection draws inspiration from Labubu - a brand of collectible plush toy monster elves created by Hong Kong-Belgian designer Kasing Lung and sold exclusively by Chinese retailer Pop Mart. While these elves, designed by Lung, are called Labubu, Caviar is referring to their version as Cabubu. The Cabubu Edition of both the Galaxy Z Fold7 and...
