Foldable

Samsung's rumored 'Ultra' Galaxy Z Fold 6 isn't just a pipe dream. New firmware developments suggest the special variant is alive and kicking, but with a twist. Which markets might get their hands on this exclusive foldable, and what could set it apart from the standard model?

Google confirmed an Indian launch for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold via their X account, with the date being August 14th - one day after the overseas launch. Previous leaks have revealed the pricing and configurations for the Pixel 9, Pro, and Pro XL, with a new teaser video from earlier today shedding more light on the foldable device.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold has been officially revealed for the first time in a teaser video, which showcases a brand new design with thinner screen edges and a rectangular camera module. The video also hints at some of the AI features that the folding flagship will support.

The Razr Plus 2024 might be the best foldable Android smartphone Motorola has ever released to the US market - however, it might not be the easiest to take apart and put back together, according to a prominent teardown vlogger. Its teardown reveals an internal design comprised of a potentially daunting amount of fiddly parts and fastenings.

Samsung is said to be working on the world's thinnest foldable smartphone. It will measure 7 mm when folded, making it thinner than the Galaxy S24.

Google appears set to join Honor, Samsung and Xiaomi in releasing a new foldable smartphone this summer. Despite not confirming as much yet, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has already been pictured in full with a radically different design. Unfortunately, it seems that the shift in design has forced Google to make hardware compromises in a few areas.

One UI 7, which is based on Android 15, will probably be a pretty big update for Samsung phones and tablets, which also promises design improvements, among other things, as a leaker has indicated. Meanwhile, some of the new features added in One UI 6.1.1 on Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 (Galaxy AI) are also being rolled out to older phones, as Samsung has officially confirmed.

The Xiaomi Mix Flip, which is the company's first vertical folding smartphone, has a launch date. It will be launching alongside the Redmi K70 Ultra and Mix Fold 4 on July 19. Besides that, the company has confirmed a couple of core specs, confirming that it will be a flagship phone.

Xiaomi has announced that its latest foldable smartphone will make its debut before the end of July 2024. The Mix Fold 4 is now touted as the thinnest and most up-to-date device of its line with potentially upgraded rear cameras and cutting-edge satellite communications technology. It will launch alongside a second hotly-awaited, albeit conventional candybar-type, smartphone.

Infinix is about to enter the foldable Android smartphone arena with its own Flip, according to a new leak. It appears to have 5G, NFC and fast charging in a chassis most reminiscent of the Motorola Razr 2024; however, whether it can pose a challenge to the high-end new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 or not remains to be seen.

The Honor Magic V3 is one of the slimmest foldables on the market, at just 9.2 mm for the Velvet Black model. In fact, it shaved about 0.7 mm of thickness compared to its predecessor, all while increasing the battery size to 5,150 mAh and adding an IPX8 water resistance rating.

Pre-orders for Motorola's latest foldable clamshell smartphone, have been declared open in the US. Like the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, the Razr Plus 2024 (or Razr+ 2024) has an OS based on Android 14, yet may have the superior display technology, not to mention dual 50MP main rear cameras and a vegan leather back in several new colors.

Samsung failed to live up to all the leaks pointing to an inaugural Ultra variant for the Galaxy Z Fold series today (July 10, 2024), thereby giving weight to a new rumor that the OEM has in fact decided that the time for an even more premium foldable smartphone has not yet arrived. Apparently, the arrival of actual competition in that space have put those plans on hold.

Qualcomm has announced that the freshly-launched Galaxy Z Fold6 flagship Android smartphone has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy SoC regardless of where it is sold, as does its clamshell counterpart the Galaxy Z Flip6. The devices are also the world's first foldable devices with Galaxy AI out of the box, which confers features such as Google Circle to Search and Photo Assist on the handsets.

Samsung has now officially released the Galaxy Z Flip6, which is available to order from today globally. While the new Galaxy Z Flip looks an awful lot like last year's model, Samsung has made numerous hardware changes to make the Galaxy Z Flip6 competitive with the likes of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra.

Samsung has now replaced the Galaxy Z Fold5, a foldable that faced stiff competition throughout late 2023 and 2024 from various competitors. Now, Samsung has attempted to regain market share lost to the Honor Magic V2 and OnePlus Open with the Galaxy Z Fold6, which contains various changes from the Galaxy Z Fold5, including a lighter, thinner and officially dust-resistant housing.

A heretofore-unknown Honor model number that has materialized on Geekbench is thought to be evidence of the more affordable version of the brand's upcoming Magic V3 Android foldable flagship smartphone. Should that be the case, the "Vs3" will use an older chipset than its top-end counterpart.

A certification provides the first images of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 alternative Xiaomi Mix Flip, which will at least be launched in China in July. The NCC not only provides real images of the exciting flip phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and presumably a telephoto camera - there is also concrete evidence of the battery and fast-charging specs. One well-known leaker has already named the Mix Flip as the "best flagship flip phone on the market".

Samsung is slated to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold6 as its latest foldable flagship Android smartphone in just a few days from today (July 7, 2024). However, a new leak purports to spoil the differences in form-factor between it and its Fold5 predecessor - or lack thereof, that is. The extent of the rumored S24 Ultra influence on the new model's design may also have been proven thanks to this new tip.

A leak also has its good side, as manufacturers are confronted with errors that have potentially crept into marketing materials. This appears to have been the case with the Galaxy Z Flip6 data sheet, which landed on the internet a few days too early and apparently contained incorrect information.

Next week will be exciting for foldable fans, as two manufacturers will unveil their foldable flagships at the same time. Honor is stepping up against Samsung with a foldable that is said to be both uncompromising and super-thin, which will be launched in China in four stylish colors with a leather back, according to official render images.

A renowned leaker has shared what they claim to be final pricing for both of Samsung's next foldable smartphones. Surprisingly, the new information represents an about-turn compared to recent related leaks, although price rises could still be headed to the Galaxy Z Fold series this year.

Xiaomi has not released any foldables globally yet, such as last year's MIX Fold 2 or MIX Fold 3. However, a reliable leaker now claims that not only will the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 challenge the Honor Magic V3 with a sub-10 mm housing, but that the device will also challenge Honor's new foldable with a global release.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is under a week away from becoming official. Evan Blass has got his hands on a complete spec sheet for the device though, which confirms that the Galaxy Z Flip will miss out on Samsung DeX support for at least another generation.

A new leak has shown off everything the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has in store. You get the same cover/primary display along with upgraded cameras and a 4,000 mAh battery.

A new leak has revealed some new Galaxy Z Fold 6 features. Samsung Notes gets a new transcription/summary feature. Then there's real-time translation feature that leverages both halves of the foldable.

The launch of new Honor Magic devices remains just over a week away. Regardless, the company has decided to reveal yet more details about the Magic V3, as well as about the MagicPad 2 and MagicBook Art 14.

A reliable leaker has detailed Samsung's pre-order plans for the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6. Allegedly, Samsung will bundle its latest high-end wireless earbuds with early orders of both smartphones for free, which will debut itself as the Galaxy Buds3 Pro on July 10 too.

A renowned leaker has shared new images of the Galaxy Z Flip6, Samsung's new clamshell foldable and Motorola Razr 50 Ultra rival. Once again, Samsung will seek to advertise the Galaxy Z Flip on the capabilities of its cover display, which is not expected to grow between the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Flip6.

Samsung is set to present a range of new Galaxy products on July 10 at its next Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold6 will not be the latest book-style foldable for long though, as Honor has now confirmed an equivalent launch event for less than 48 hours later where it will unveil not just its Magic V3 foldable but also the Vs3 foldable, MagicPad 2 tablet and the MagicBook Art 14 laptop.

The arrival of new book-style foldables is fast approaching. With Honor and Samsung having already announced their intentions to unveil new devices, it seems that Xiaomi will not be far behind them with the MIX Fold 4.

OnePlus has announced that it has a new sneak peek of its next major software upgrade for users of its current Hasselblad-branded flagship smartphones. Then again, those tempted to test Android 15 out on their device are advised not to do so without a lot of prior experience with beta versions.

Fresh leaks relating to the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6 have been delivered by an infallible source. Arriving in droves, the new leak highlights the pair from various angles before their official introduction early next month.

A new leak from shows off what the Google Pixel Fold would have looked like had it launched in 2022. On top of obvious design changes, there were also some remarkable differences under the hood.

Samsung is not yet ready to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip6 officially. While the Galaxy Z Flip6 is not due to debut until July 10, it has now been pictured in over a dozen leaked press shots that show the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra from multiple angles and in four colour options.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is not official yet. Nonetheless, a pair of leakers have revealed Samsung's next Galaxy Z Fold through over a dozen official images.

Samsung is roughly two weeks away from revealing the Galaxy Z Flip6 and other new Galaxy devices. In the meantime, a reliable leaker has confirmed what the Galaxy Z Flip6 looks like in a new set of official-looking images.

A recently discovered patent has showcased what Microsoft's canceled Surface Duo 3 would've been like. Unlike the first two devices, the patent shows that it would've been a proper competitor to the Galaxy Z Fold series, coming with a folding screen instead of two screens attached. There's also an external cover display on the diagrams.

Motorola's latest online sale for the US lists the first-gen Razr+, the OEM's highest-end foldable smartphone of yesteryear, at $350 off its original price - which makes it cheaper than the new non-flagship Razr 2024. Meanwhile, a selection of other 2023 smartphones now start at just $99 as part of Motorola's new Star Spangled event.

Huawei touts the latest version of its MateBook X Pro as the ultimate ultrabook as it weighs just 34.6 ounces (or 980 grams (g)) - however, it is about to be dethroned by an upcoming, possibly very similarly-named, rival from Honor. The allegedly outed addition to the MagicBook line might also debut as an "AI PC" and come packed with "exclusive" tech.

Honor has unveiled a Magic V2 successor in its first round of teasers about the device. Launching soon as the Magic V3, the device is said to 'raise the bar once again' for foldable smartphones. According to a typically reliable leaker, Honor has managed to pack various hardware upgrades inside of an even thinner and lighter housing than the current Magic V2.

Motorola has now released the Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra globally. Arriving as the Razr 2024 and Razr 2024 Plus in North America, the pair take on Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip5, as well as the forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip6.

Motorola has now released a new flagship foldable smartphone, shortly before the expected introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6. As expected, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is the first foldable to feature a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, as well as a pair of 165 Hz displays and a pair of 50 MP cameras.

Motorola's latest affordable foldable smartphone is now official after a spate of leaks. Arriving as the Razr 50, the handset not only contains an overhauled design, but also a more powerful chipset, along other hardware changes.

A leak from a Dutch carrier has supposedly confirmed that Samsung's latest Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on the 10th of July. Consumers can expect to see a bunch of very high-end devices — the Galaxy Z Flip6, Z Fold6, Watch7, Buds3, and the new Galaxy Ring. Adding some color to an otherwise fairly ordinary event is the fact that Samsung will unleash its innovative new products in Paris shortly before the start of the Summer Olympics.

Motorola has started to hint at the launch of an apparently unmissable, iconic announcement with the potential to "Flip the Script" of its typical mobile device line-up. The brand's new teasers suggest that the Razr 2024 series of clamshell Android smartphones is indeed on the way.

Samsung is allegedly announcing the Galaxy Z Flip6 next month with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, a bigger 4,000 mAh battery, and a dual-camera setup with the main 50 MP sensor of the Galaxy S24/S24 Plus. However, these upgrades may not be free as the Galaxy Z Flip6 allegedly costs much more than the Galaxy Z Flip5.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is apparently also getting some exciting upgrades apart from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the 50 MP dual camera and the larger battery, as a leaked teaser video points to a fully waterproof case and AI features.

A noted leaker says One UI 6.1.1 will automatically create photorealistic images from user-generated doodles. It will be joined by many other AI-powered features, and that's why One UI 7.0 might arrive later than its predecessor.
