The design of the Samsung Galaxy S27 series is starting to come into focus through various leaks, and two of the four will take a leak out of Apple’s Pro book. We’ve seen some fairly crude renders of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra already, hinting at a new design that looks suspiciously like the iPhone […]
Despite not launching until next year, there’s already plenty of rumours and leaks about the Galaxy S27 series of phones and the latest suggests there will be a fifth model.

Xiaomi has confirmed a launch date for its first-ever wide foldable. And let’s just say, I don’t think the date is a coincidence. The company’s mobile president, Lu Weibing, has taken to Weibo to confirm the new Xiaomi 18 Fold’s launch date: 7 September. Yes, that’s next Monday, and a mere two days before Apple […]
In 2026, I’ve become very picky when it comes to smartphone displays. Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel – my favourite Android phone brands – undoubtedly offer gorgeous, vibrant and incredibly detailed screens.

Concerns began to arise when the device actually launched, complete with a hefty price rise and […]
In a nightmare year for new smartphones, this might be the worst one yet. Phones have been among the most affected by the ongoing global RAM shortage (‘RAMageddon’), with price rises on almost every 2026 model. But no-one has taken things as far as Samsung might. Its upcoming budget phone, the Galaxy A18, has leaked […]

Thankfully, with the […]
Although what is arguably the biggest phone launch of the year is happening this week, Xiaomi is trying to steal some of the limelight. Barring some kind of huge turnaround, Apple will unveil its first foldable smartphone on Wednesday. It’s obviously a huge deal as, although the firm is years behind Android rivals, when the […]
The first snippet of information is concerning Motorola’s wide foldable plans, and there’s one element that leaves me a little disappointed.
