Fresh information about the Razr 40 Ultra has surfaced, only a few days before the foldable's official release. According to new reports, Motorola will sell the Razr 40 Ultra under a different name in the US, where it may also be available at a comparatively lower list price than in other countries.

Honor has brought the Magic Vs to the UK, where it starts at £1,399. However, Honor is offering a £200 discount on early orders, among other bonuses.

A new rumor about a potential Sony Xperia foldable smartphone has emerged with a little twist on the usual whispers that mention an Xperia F or Xperia Fold device. It wouldn’t be particularly surprising if Sony eventually produced a foldable Xperia phone, but it would be a welcome surprise if it arrived in a compact form.

OnePlus and Oppo are likely a few months away from introducing their OnePlus Fold and Oppo Find N3 foldable smartphones. Nonetheless, 91mobiles claims to have received numerous details about both smartphones, with one being the global version of the other.

Motorola has now confirmed the global launch date for its next-generation foldable smartphones. Rumoured to be the Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra, the pair have now been seen in more leaked official images showcasing the utility of the latter's huge cover display.

A South Korean media outlet says Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked will be held on July 26 in Seoul. Products announced at the event will be available for purchase on August 11.

Motorola will soon release the Razr 40 Ultra, getting the jump on Samsung with its upcoming Galaxy Z Flip5. Motorola is only a few weeks away from releasing the Razr 40 Ultra, ahead of which a high-profile leaker has published numerous press shots online showcasing the device in all its expected launch colours.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 is already touted as the most potentially practical of its Android clamshell foldable smartphone series yet ahead of its release. Now, it is believed to become more productivity-friendly still by acquiring support for Samsung DeX at last. The feature, currently found on flagships such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, allows a mobile device to act more like a PC when connected to a monitor.

Nubia is expected to break into the foldable smartphone market by the end of 2023. The device is thought to launch as a successor to the current Z50 Ultra Android flagship, albeit with a much larger main display and - naturally - a completely different build. However, there are already hints that the brand has no intention of following the biggest flexible-display trends with its first-gen offering.

Tecno is now said to take Samsung on with a "Phantom V Fold Yoga" to match the Galaxy Z Flip4 in the near future. Hands-on images of the device suggest that the two do indeed have a very similar build, although the "V Yoga" may stand out with a larger and more distinctive cover display. Then again, the Android smartphone may also launch with mid-range specs compared to the 2022 class-leader.

OtterBox and CASETiFY have confirmed that they are among the first of the popular accessory brands to support the newly-announced Google Pixel Fold with protective accessories. Both companies assert that the new cases can protect the first-gen flexible-display device with no hindrance to its unique new function. OtterBox also backs its versions to keep any added bulk to a minimum, whereas CASETiFY offers certified military-standard protection.

The "Razr 40" is thought to launch as one of Motorola's latest foldable smartphones. According to a new leak, it might do so with internals comparable to those of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, yet start for less. Should that be the case, it might prove the most popular Razr yet in 2023 - despite its rumored compromises.

Google has showcased the Pixel Fold, the first foldable smartphone for the company. Built around a 7.6-inch foldable display, the Pixel Fold also has a 5.8-inch cover display, a Google Tensor G2 chipset and a 48 MP triple rear-facing camera set up, among other features.

Huawei has confirmed European pricing for the Mate X3, the company's flagship foldable. Arguably more advanced than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, the Mate X3 has a high price to match.

Motorola will soon release the Razr 40 Ultra, its likely alternative to this year's Galaxy Z Flip5. However, leaked promotional images have confirmed Motorola's intention to offer a cheaper foldable by way of the Razr 40. Mimicking the design of the Galaxy Z Flip4, the Razr 40 will be available in at least three colours with textured finishes.

Case designs for the Galaxy Z Flip5 have started appearing online, roughly two months before Samsung is anticipated to announce its fifth-generation foldable. As expected, the Galaxy Z FLip5 has an unusual cover display, with a tabbed look that does not cover all the space available.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is likely to sport a 3.4-inch cover display with a 720p resolution. The larger screen estate could mean added functionality and more capable widgets than what is currently possible with the Galaxy Z Flip4.

Honor is now said to have a second-gen foldable flagship Android smartphone in the works. The successor to the Magic V is tipped to launch with a high-quality "custom" main display and, furthermore, to blow its competition away with a battery of an unusually large size for its form-factor. Then again, its closest rival might have the edge on it in other ways.

Google has lifted the lid on the Pixel Fold, its first foldable and a device that will likely rival Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series. Not only has Google provided a peek at the Pixel Fold's design, but it has also hinted at when it intends to announce the device.

Full specifications for the Razr 40 Ultra have leaked online. While the device is Motorola's next-generation foldable, it will contain several hardware downgrades from last year's Razr.

Google's first foldable smartphone is expected to land later this week, with an I/O 2023 presentation due alongside the Pixel 7a and the Pixel Tablet. In the meantime, the FCC has certified the Pixel Fold for release in the US, confirming the presence of a UWB chip and two models.

It appears that Samsung is finally ready to move on from tiny cover displays in its clamshell foldables. Based on various Galaxy Z Flip5 renders, Samsung will adopt a generously-sized cover display as it looks to see of competition from the likes off Oppo, Vivo and Motorola.

Samsung is preparing to release the Galaxy Z Fold5 later this year, likely alongside the Galaxy Z Flip5. In the meantime, a renowned leaker has shared high-resolution renders, a 360-degree video of the Galaxy Z Fold5, and dimensions comparing the upcoming foldable against the current Galaxy Z Fold4.

The Mate X3 is now one of the world's most premium foldable smartphones, yet still falls behind the older Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 with a visible punch-hole in its main flexible OLED display. Things might be different for its successor, though, thanks to the alleged discovery of a new Huawei prototype with the latest under-display camera (UDC) panel from BOE and ZTE.

Update: Leaker has now shared the first photo of the Pixel Fold's internal display.
Official photos of the Pixel Fold have leaked online, courtesy of Evan Blass. Sporting a wider cover display than the Galaxy Z Fold4, the Pixel Fold also lacks the full-width camera bar of the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro.

Samsung may be banking on the success of the latest Galaxy Z Flip-series smartphone in 2023, with alleged plans to increase its production by approximately 100% compared to that of the previous generation. This is the latest in a series of leaks hinting that the Z Flip5 will see an upgrade in its fortunes in a number of ways this year.

Numerous details about the Razr 40 Ultra have surfaced online ahead of its release later this year. Billed as Motorola's flagship clamshell foldable, the Razr 40 Ultra may cost nearly €1,200 at launch. Various official images have leaked too, showcasing the Razr 40 Ultra from almost every angle.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 are thought to launch soon as new premium flexible-display Android flagship smartphones. Their latest leaks purport to spill their dimensions, comparing them to those of their respective predecessors. Should the measurements prove true, one will launch the more compact of the two.

Motorola continues to tease the release of a next-generation Razr on social media. Now, the company has confirmed the device's cover display size, which should lead all other clamshell foldables, such as the Oppo Find N2 Flip, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Vivo X Flip.

Google continues to tease the Pixel Tablet ahead of its I/O 2023 release, with the company now showcasing units during Milan Design Week. Meanwhile, a hands-on video showing the Pixel Fold has appeared online.

At a starting price of well over US$1,000, the Vivo X Fold2 is probably the world's most expensive new foldable smartphone. It is also the first of its kind that packs 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging into its thin and light form-factor. Then again, according to a new online tear-down, it should be relatively easy to fix, at least.

The third-gen Xiaomi Mix Fold is now said to launch as a foldable smartphone with the updated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. More alleged specs have emerged for the supposedly upcoming super-flagship Android smartphone, which may indicate both advantages and disadvantages over the new Vivo X Fold 2 with the same SoC.

The best evidence yet that OPPO's supposed third-gen foldable flagship smartphone will re-brand globally as the "OnePlus V Fold" in 2023 has turned up in a new leak. It consists of a diagram that contains what might be a brand signature feature; then again, there are some issues with the tip in question.

According to a leaker, Samsung will start mass producing its next-generation foldables a few weeks earlier than last year. While mass production is still expected to begin in June, the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 could launch sooner than expected as a result.

Motorola has started teasing the release of its next Razr-branded smartphone. While the company has not revealed a specific release date yet, it has hinted at significant cover display improvements, including a faster refresh rate. Meanwhile, various sources have seemingly confirmed the device's global model name as the Razr 40 Ultra.

Vivo has launched the X Fold2, its second-generation foldable. The Vivo X Fold2 will be a foil to the likes of the Mate X3 and the Galaxy Z Fold4, as well as this year's Galaxy Z Fold5. The Vivo X Fold2 comes packed full of flagship hardware, including a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a hinge that leaves no visible gap when closed.

Vivo has introduced the X Flip, the smaller answer to the X Fold2. The X Flip features a 3-inch cover display, a 50 MP primary camera and a 4,400 mAh battery, as Vivo looks to compete with the likes of Huawei, Oppo and Samsung.

According to a new report, the Pixel Fold may be slightly cheaper than its expected US$1,799 launch price. Reputedly, Google will also offer a healthy pre-order bonus with initial Pixel Fold orders. The same leak has revealed some new details about Google's first foldable too.

According to a reliable leaker, Motorola has set a European launch date for both its next-generation foldable smartphones. Allegedly, the company's next flagship will launch as the Razr Pro, not the Razr 2023 or the Razr Plus.

OPPO's 'global' foldable smartphone, the Find N2 Flip, is now eligible for a new software update, rated to upgrade the experience of using its secondary (or "cover") screen somewhat. It involves the addition of a feature that converts speech into messages on apps such as WhatsApp, as well as the ability to control Spotify (to a certain extent).

Google is set to unveil the Pixel Fold next month at I/O as its first attempt at a tablet to rival Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold lineup. Ahead of its debut, however, a new leak has now provided insight into Google's launch and availability schedule for the foldable, as well as for the mid-range Pixel 7a.

Recent rumors indicated the existence and imminent launch of a foldable tablet from Samsung, reportedly branded as the Galaxy Z Tab. Those rumors may have been premature, or even entirely bogus, it seems, with word from typically reliable quarters writing them off.

Motorola is projected to launch a new Razr with a bigger cover display than ever before in 2023. Now, the foldable Android smartphone is tipped to launch alongside a second version for the first time in the same year. This allegedly inaugural Lite version will drop its flagship counterpart's upgraded feature to debut as a more "affordable" option.

Apparently, Samsung remains on schedule for an August launch of its fifth-generation foldable smartphones. Billed as the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5, the pair are expected to enter mass production in two months' time. The same analyst has also revealed new details about the state of the Galaxy Z Flip5's cover display.

Samsung will supposedly launch its first-ever foldable tablet called the Galaxy Z Tab alongside the Galaxy Tab S9 series. Whether or not it is the tri-folding tablet Samsung showed off earlier remains to be seen.

Vivo has confirmed that its folding mobile device tech is going clamshell for the first time, in the form of the inaugural X Flip. The presumably ultra-portable Android smartphone is now officially tipped to launch with Zeiss-tuned rear cameras, a larger-than-average cover display with useful second-screen functions and three different colorways. Its processor and TUV Rheinland-certified hinge integrity are also now official ahead of its impending launch.

Vivo is preparing to release a powerful competitor to the Huawei Mate X3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. Arriving later this month as the Vivo X Fold2, leaked presentation slides have confirmed numerous specifications, including its reliance on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

Meizu is an Android smartphone brand now said to get into the foldable game in a big way soon. Not only that, the inaugural device in question is also believed to launch with the top-end main camera beyond even Samsung's 2023 Galaxy Z Fold-series flagship. The shooter is projected to support 8K recording, high-end pixel-binning and fast auto-focus.
