The tri-fold market is officially off to a hot start as Huawei has announced the now globally available Mate XT. Huawei is happy to brag about a few broken records, considering the phone is the first tri-fold commercially available.

One UI 7 did a lot to bring Samsung’s phones up to a new standard, and some cool little features that usually fly under the radar are included in that. One UI 7 lets you change your power button shortcut to much more than a launcher for a handful of Samsung apps, like changing Modes in an instant. Here’s how it works.

The Galaxy S25+ looks almost exactly like the phone that came before it, and everything on the inside is almost exactly the same, too, minus a couple of small improvements. But for some reason, the Galaxy S25+ feels dramatically different and finds itself in my favorites list with relative ease.

The Google Wallet app can now be opened with a new shortcut in Android 16 Beta 2. The new method means the Quick Settings button is no longer the fastest way, though it might come as an unnatural change to ditch the camera shortcut.

Samsung is shaking things up in its plans for future releases, even coming off the heels of a somewhat redundant launch event. New reports echo the sentiment that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 might not house a traditional S Pen digitizer in order to save space. The leak also suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will have a bigger screen and come in much thinner.

Samsung’s Galaxy A56 is getting closer to release. New leaks show off the Galaxy A56’s good-looing design along with a rather significant camera array change.

The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 is an iterative move to bring mid-range devices closer to flagship-level performance with an emphasis on gaming. Whether Qualcomm is able to accomplish that or not, the on-paper power it brings is impressive.

By default, your Quick Settings and notifications are available on separate pages in One UI 7’s dropdown menu. If you’re not a fan of that design, you can change it to a one-page setup where notifications and Quick Settings are on the same page. This quick guide will explain how to do so.

Samsung is seemingly looking to make a big battery change going into development for the Galaxy S26, switching to a silicon carbon material more OEMs are using to expand battery efficiency. The new battery type has proven to make a huge difference in overall performance, which is something most are hoping to see in Samsung’s next flagship.

The Galaxy S24 and S23 have been in line for One UI 7 well before the new S25 series hit shelves. A new update is being rolled out to Galaxy S24 and S23 users, but it isn’t as big as One UI 7.

The Oppo Find N5 is looking like a stunning foldable in new leaks, which only means the OnePlus Open 2 will look just as good when it comes out. These new leaks showcase every side of the Find N5 in every color.

It was expected that Samsung would release the full One UI 7 update to Galaxy S24 users immediately after the Gaalxy S25 officially hit shelves, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to be the case. Samsung is releasing yet another beta update to One UI 7, which pushes the full release even further.

Tri-folds are seemingly the next big thing in terms of hype, and Huawei is trying to get in front of the trend by releasing the Mate XT Ultimate. The tri-fold Mate XT Ultimate now has a launch date.

Asus has announced the Zenfone 12 Ultra, a somewhat tame version of the ROG Phone lineup. The new phone packs QWualcomm’s latest SoC and NPU, positioning it to handle a healthy amount of AI processing.

As a basic streaming service, YouTube TV still knocks many options out of the park, even if it costs $82/month. What makes it easy to use is the amount of flexibility given to users, with over 50 add-on options. They vary in price, but there’s literally something for everyone.

Verizon is going to start offering access to Gemini Advanced with Google One AI Premium as part of it’s monthly bundles. Google’s AI suite will come as an add-on to home and internet plans for just $10/month.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra shipped without an S Pen with Bluetooth capabilities, meaning it has no need for batteries and, therefore, no need to be charged. Still, Samsung packed an S Pen charger into the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which raises some questions.

Samsung has been heavily pushing Galaxy AI and refined hardware on the Galaxy S25 series. Apparently, the company is doing enough to set new records in South Korea for Galaxy S25 pre-orders, totaling 1.3 million units so far.

Asus is gearing up to introduce the Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra, which takes on a lot of what its flagship ROG Phone series has to offer in a package that doesn’t scream “I game!”
