Deals: Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 go on pre-order, CMF Phone 1 shakes up the mid-range segment

The new Samsung Galaxy Z foldables were unveiled this Wednesday and will spend a couple of weeks on pre-order. But you may want to pick up one before July 24 arrives as Amazon is offering a €100 discount at checkout. Amazon also has some bundles to consider. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold6 plus Galaxy Buds3 Pro can be had for €100 more than just the phone – a solid deal, considering that the Buds3 Pro are €250 if bought separately. There is a similar bundle for the Galaxy Z Flip6. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 (pre-order) ...

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL stars in hands-on video compared to Pixel 9 and Galaxy S24 Ultra

Last week the 'vanilla' Google Pixel 9 leaked in not one, but two hands-on videos, and now it's time for the Pixel 9 Pro XL to get the exact same treatment. It was spotted on TikTok today in two quick videos. The first one is comparing it to the Pixel 9, which will be smaller than the Pro XL. The second video shows us the Pixel 9 Pro XL alongside Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra, in order to get a good feel for the upcoming Pixel's size and how it compares to Samsung's biggest flagship. Google is unveiling the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and...

Nothing sells 100,000 CMF Phone 1 units in three hours

Nothing unveiled the CMF Phone 1 this past Monday, and the phone went on sale earlier today. The company is now happily reporting that it managed to sell over 100,000 units in the first three hours of availability. For context, the Nothing Phone (2a), which launched back in March, needed 24 hours to reach the same sales figure, so one could say that the CMF Phone 1 is selling eight times faster. To celebrate the occasion, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis said: Following the incredible success of Phone (2a) in March, CMF Phone 1 is a breath of fresh air in a stagnating value...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 in for review

Fresh off its announcement this week, we have the Galaxy Z Fold6 in for review. At this point it will hardly surprise anybody that the phone ships with nothing more than a SIM tool and a USB cable. Perhaps it is more unexpected that it still ships with anything at all. The biggest visual change to the Galaxy Z Fold6 is its more squared-off, flatter profile. It's smart-looking and easy to tell apart. We like the new bigger camera rings, even if the cameras inside are unchanged (and frankly unimpressive). While on the topic of unchanged - the battery is the same 4,400mAh unit and...

Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold prices leak

Google is holding a hardware launch event on August 13, two months ahead of its usual schedule, and it's expected to reveal the Pixel 9 family on that occasion. This will be the biggest Pixel series ever, with the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold giving you way more high-end options than ever before. Today the pricing for all of these devices in France has been leaked, so let's get into it. The Pixel 9 is said to arrive in Obsidian (black), Porcelain (white), Cosmo, and Mojito - since Mojito is most likely green-ish, we assume Cosmo is the leaked pink-ish hue from...

OnePlus Nord 4 gets four major Android updates, six years of security patches

Back in February, OnePlus responded to Google and Samsung offering seven years of software support for their flagships by saying anything over five years doesn't make any sense financially. Five months later, the Chinese company seems to have changed its tune. OnePlus COO Kinder Liu just told Digital Trends that the upcoming Nord 4 will get six years of security patches from its launch. Sure, one extra year isn't overly that much on top, but still - what ever happened to "no one needs more than five"? Additionally, we're wondering what's going to happen to OnePlus' flagships like...
