Foldable

According to a new report, Google will be bringing several upgrades to its foldable platform with the release of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Not only will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold be the first IP68-certified foldable, but it could also depart from its predecessor in a few other crucial areas, too.

Vivo has now started selling the X Fold5 in India after debuting the device last month in China. Marking the foldable's first international launch, the new release also sees the Vivo X Fold7 undercutting the Galaxy Z Fold7 by a wide margin despite surpassing Samsung's latest foldable in several areas.

Some of the highest-end mobile devices to launch later in 2025 are thought to rock new Real RGB panels from TCL. The display technology is made using a cutting-edge Inkjet Printing (IJP) technique touted to boost color accuracy while potentially cutting manufacturing costs. Now, the process is thought to churn out on-trend tandem OLED screens.

Motorola is expected to launch a foldable smartphone with a striking Swarovski design in just a few weeks, as the device has now appeared in multiple leaked images. These pictures suggest that the handset will be comparatively affordable.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 still falls behind its foldable rivals in a crucial area, battery life. Nonetheless, Samsung's latest foldable is said to have the edge over its silicon-carbon rivals via a battery health rating that easily surpasses what Apple, Google and Motorola offer with their flagships.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 is the first in the series to feature an Exynos chipset. Surprisingly, the device is also the first to offer Samsung DeX connectivity, with the popular desktop mode available after a prolonged wait. Sadly, the long-awaited feature is not without restrictions.

Tecno's latest prototype smartphone apparently has the same name as the most cutting-edge smartphone that Samsung intends to launch in 2025. The new addition to the Phantom Ultimate series can also be made to form a triangle, and has an innovative way of protecting its cover display when not in use.

Following its debut a few days ago, the first hands-on CPU benchmarks for the Exynos 2500-powered Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 have now emerged. The chipset disappoints, unfortunately, showcasing performance only on par with last-gen chipsets like the Dimensity 9300 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Caviar has just unveiled a luxury model variant of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, which have just been announced yesterday. These exclusive phones sport a striking design with a Labubu illustration on the back, alongside premium materials including fragments of a real meteorite.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is already a year old, but it offers better value than the just-announced Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Now, with an Amazon Prime Day discount, Samsung's 2024 clamshell foldable is a no-brainer.

Samsung has not finished releasing new foldables this year just yet. Arriving hot on the heels of today's Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 series launch event, early evidence suggests that the company is working on an even more premium foldable that may only receive a limited release.

Samsung has reportedly confirmed that it is ready with the tri-fold and can put it into production. However, the demand for it is being currently studied and it may be a while before we see the production model.

Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold7, its most advanced foldable smartphone yet. Featuring a slimmer, lighter design, an upgraded 200MP camera, a high-performance chipset, and powerful Galaxy AI tools, the new device is designed to boost productivity and creativity on the go.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has officially been shown off at Galaxy Unpacked. It offers a few upgrades over its last-gen counterpart, such as larger primary and cover displays.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE has been announced as an affordable alternative to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It has a smaller screen and a last-gen Exynos processor.

The launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is nigh. In the meantime, an enormously reliable leaker has delivered the final pieces of the puzzle about all three foldables and how Samsung intends to market them.

The X Fold5 is set to receive its first international launch later this month. Arriving in the wake of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, the Vivo X Fold5 is tipped to launch for significantly less than the X Fold3 Pro did outside China. Pricing for the Vivo X200 FE in India has leaked online too.

Is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 compatible with the S Pen or not? Even a day before the big Galaxy Unpacked event, there are doubts. There's a lack of evidence for the existence of S Pen cases, even though a wealth of new official marketing material surfaced online just hours after another promo image leak.

A leaked spec sheet suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip FE might not launch with the Exynos 2400 SoC, as initially rumoured. Unfortunately, it won't be a Snapdragon chip. That will remain exclusive to the Fold 7.

Samsung has been spotted outlining early launch offers for its next Galaxy Z devices ahead of schedule. While the company will discount the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE in various ways, at least the next Galaxy Z Fold is now expected to be a fair bit more expensive than previous leaks anticipated.

Samsung's upcoming "affordable" foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip FE, has now visited Geekbench ahead of its debut. Under the hood is an Exynos 2400, the same chipset on the European Galaxy S24—and performance is mostly unchanged from that device

Various leakers have revealed new details about Samsung's next crop of devices that will be arriving later this week. Not only do the leaks highlight the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Watch8, but they also showcase the advantages of Samsung's new smartwatches and foldables compared with their predecessors.

The supposedly upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is tipped to get only one more new rival in 2025, and it will be unleashed by Honor, according to the latest leak. The "Magic V Flip 2" might not be quite as powerful as the Z Flip7 or the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 - but it could be able to charge faster than either clamshell foldable Android smartphone.

Before Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7 grabs all the attention very soon, we take a closer hands-on look at what's arguably this year's fiercest competitor, the Honor Magic V5. The first global testers have already tried out the foldable phone, which is billed as the world's thinnest foldable phone. We also have pictures and information on its performance and a hands-on comparison with the Oppo Find N5.

A well-known leaker has commented on the pre-order phase following the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9. Apparently, there will be a surprisingly long wait for the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) and all three foldables of the seventh Galaxy Z generation.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 has now made several trips to Geekbench ahead of its official debut at Unpacked. The foldable impresses in the OpenCL test but only performs as well as the last-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on the CPU side.

After a first real-world image of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 emerged online, the same source has now provided a hands-on video that’s about a minute long. This clip shows Samsung’s new foldable phone from all angles, including the boot sequence and the device powered on. It was deleted shortly after, but we have a copy.

The Honor Magic V5 was launched in China just a few days ago. Other countries are set to follow soon, and even more quickly than in the past. A first launch date outside of mainland China has already been set, with teasers suggesting that it shouldn't be long before it arrives in Europe.

Someone was so happy about their new Galaxy flip phone that they documented it with their phone. Unfortunately for Samsung, the photo ended up on social media. For the first time, we see the larger and seemingly borderless cover display of the Galaxy Z Flip7 in a hands-on image.

The next generation of foldables is almost here but it seems to be bringing only minor upgrades. The Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE will follow in the footsteps of the Fold7 and skip on the IP rating upgrade as well.

The global version of the Honor Magic V5 has now turned up across several early benchmark listings. While the foldable misses out on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version that Honor was rumoured to have installed in its Chinese counterpart, the Magic V5 already outpaces the Oppo Find N5 in single-core and multi-core work.

Honor has now listed the Magic V5 on some of its regional websites outside of China. Also spotted across several regional regulatory bodies on its way to an international release, it looks like the MagicPad 3 could be on its way too.

Samsung is preparing to launch two clamshell foldables next week to catch the Motorola Razr 60 series and the recent Xiaomi Mix Flip 2. According to a new report, Honor is not far behind with a successor to the Magic V Flip, either.

The launch of Samsung's first tri-fold has been rumoured for months. Recently, leakers have coalesced around the idea that the device will arrive as the Galaxy G Fold. A new report now suggests otherwise.

Samsung itself has once again published something that was likely not supposed to be revealed until July 9. A promotional campaign from a country in Europe and Asia explicitly lists all storage options for the new Samsung foldables, meaning both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Users who need a lot of memory will apparently have to pay up.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will officially debut in a few days. A leak has now revealed which official cases Samsung will offer for the foldable phone. The lineup will apparently include a Qi2 case, which can is compatible with magnetic MagSafe and Qi2 accessories.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is touted to launch as Samsung's most advanced foldable Android smartphone to date soon. Despite that, it is thought to lag behind other upcoming rivals such as the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold in terms of official ingress-protection ratings. The Fold7 might be more than robust enough in other ways, though.

Samsung's inaugural multi-folding smartphone, the Galaxy G Fold, might be available in limited quantities at launch. Its folding mechanism differs from that of the Mate XT Ultimate.

Vivo is gearing to bring two of its latest flagships to more markets. Beating Honor to the punch, Vivo has now confirmed that its X Fold5 foldable will land in India later this month in a simultaneous release with the smaller X200 FE.

A new leak has confirmed that Samsung is preparing a slew of new cases for its Honor Magic V5, Oppo Find N5 and Vivo X Fold5 rival. Set to retail for up to €89 (~$105), the cases add features like built-in kickstands, Qi2 charging support and a handy grip holder.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been shown off in real life ahead of its July 9 launch. As stated in my multiple leaks, it is remarkably thin, but its exact dimensions cannot be determined at this time.

Updated: Giztop and Wonda Mobile also reveal Magic V5 import prices. The Magic V5 matches the new Vivo X Fold5 as the world's lightest foldable at just 217 g. Also slimmed down to 8.8 mm for its latest release, the new Magic V features a larger battery, upgraded cameras, brighter displays and Qualcomm's full 8-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The Magic V5 is now available to import in one of four colour options configured with up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage too ahead of its anticipated global rollout later this year.

Honor has just announced the Magic V5. Early impressions show the company's latest foldable in a poor light though, particularly when it comes to the thickness of its new camera housing and its noticeable foldable display crease.

Honor made the world's thinnest foldable phone official, and the new Magic V5 barely beats the Oppo Find N5's 8.9mm thickness, and only in the white color version at that. It does, however, come with a robust set of specs at last year's pricing.

Apple's journey into foldable devices seems to have hit a snag. Reports suggest the tech giant has halted foldable iPad development, facing manufacturing difficulties. This pause also stems from concerns over tablet demand and potentially high production costs, putting the future of a folding iPad on hold.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 should become official in just over a week's time. Surprisingly, Samsung is now slated to drop behind Google and Vivo when it comes to dust and water resistance.

Flipkart has started teasing the arrival of the Vivo X Fold5 in India following the device's release in China last week. Supposedly arriving by the middle of July in India, a new regulatory body filing indicates that Vivo has plans to offer its new foldable across Southeast Asia, too.

The Honor Magic V5 should offer a substantially better periscope zoom camera than the 50 MP and f/3.0 sensor found in the Magic V3. Also surpassing the Oppo Find N5 and Vivo X Fold5 with an f/2.5 aperture, the new 64 MP periscope zoom will also deliver native 3x optical zoom in another change from the Magic V3.

Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will reportedly be much thinner than their predecessors. A leaker has now added weight to rumours about key upgrades to the flagship foldables and revealed the alleged final thickness of each device.
