Weekly poll results: the Motorola Razr Fold is pricey, but may have a future despite its flaws

Like with other book-style foldables, Motorola Razr Fold’s biggest flaw is its price – indeed, in last week’s poll, the biggest group of voters was the one that gave the price tag a thumbs down. To put it in concrete terms, the Fold has an MSRP of EUR 2,000 / GBP 1,800 / INR 150,000 / USD 1,900 / CAD 2,700. That’s not the only problem, but the high cost of the device amplifies its other issues. For one, Motorola promises 7 years of OS updates and security patches. That’s on par with what other manufacturers promise and better than most other Motorolas. However, Moto just doesn’t have the...

Deals: Galaxy S26+ gets a deeper discount on its 512GB model, Galaxy S26 Ultra also on sale

This week saw the annual WWDC from Apple. The week before, it was Google I/O – both are software-focused events, so there wasn’t any new hardware. So, we turn to older models instead. The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is not going to win any popularity contests, but it’s a solid middle-of-the-road smartphone that offers a good balance of features, support and price. Right now, the 512GB model is down to $900 – that’s the same price as the 256GB version, but note that only the Black units have such a deep cut. The Cobalt Violet is the second best at $1,020, which is a rather large gap. If you don’t...

Honor X7e Plus 5G is coming to join the X7e

Honor launched the X7e 4G earlier this month, and if you've been wondering whether this phone would get a 5G option, the answer seems to be "yes, kind of". The Honor X7e Plus 5G has now been certified for sale in the UAE by TDRA and it's also been spotted in the SGS database. We're not sure exactly what makes this a "Plus" aside from the 5G connectivity, so we can't be sure how similar it is to the already launched X7e 4G. But based on the SGS certification, we can assume the X7e Plus 5G will be offered in the EU and Saudi Arabia too. Honor X7e Plus 5G...

DJI sues Insta360 for how similar the Luna Ultra is to the Osmo Pocket 4P

A couple of days ago, Insta360 made its DJI Osmo Pocket 4P competitor official in the Luna Ultra, and now DJI is launching not one but two lawsuits against Insta360 alleging patent violations. The lawsuits were filed in the US, presumably because DJI feels like it has a better chance of winning over there. In its first lawsuit, DJI accuses Insta360 of infringing its design patents by producing and selling the Luna series, which DJI says closely copies its own designs for the Osmo Pocket line. The resemblance is obvious from a mile away, but whether it's enough to get DJI its coveted...
