The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is at its best when there’s friction

What do you want from a flip phone when it’s closed? A simple interface, perhaps notifications and a widget or two, for handling the basics? Or a fully fledged Android experience shrunk down for the Flip form factor? For years, Samsung has insisted on the former, even as some fans – and Razr rival Motorola […]

Samsung’s Z Fold 8 Ultra is more of the same, but better than ever

What makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra so Ultra? Samsung’s first foldable with the Ultra name isn’t a souped-up version of the regular Fold 8, as you might expect. Where the Z Fold 8 is squat and wide, the Fold 8 Ultra retains the thin outer screen and square inner panel of the […]

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 feels like the future

Is this the future of foldable phones? Samsung clearly thinks so. The company has given its new wide foldable the “Z Fold 8” name, positioning the phone not as a widescreen oddity, but as the new normal, the default design for foldables going forward. Rumor has it that Apple feels the same way, with a […]

Sony’s Xperia 1 VIII is still a phone for the fans

The Xperia 1 VIII marks an attempt at a step change for Sony’s flagship phone line. Not only has it had an aesthetic overhaul, but Sony has also revamped the camera system, dropping the continuous optical zoom telephoto that’s defined the last four generations of Xperia phone. It’s not all different. Sony staples like a […]

Honor’s Magic V6 sets three foldable firsts

On paper, the Honor Magic V6 sounds like a tremendous leap forward for foldable phones: It’s the thinnest one yet, with the biggest battery, and the best water-resistance ever. In practice, only the bigger battery feels like a meaningful improvement. The other upgrades are only fractionally superior to what came before. This isn’t entirely Honor’s […]

The new Razr Ultra isn’t your average phone — for better and worse

I had one ask for friends, colleagues, the lady checking me in for a meeting at a large software company’s headquarters, and everyone else who stopped to admire the phone I’ve been carrying around. “Pet it.” The Razr Ultra is not your average phone. I got the orient blue color option to test, which has […]

The Razr Fold is stuck in the middle

For a phone that gets a lot right, the Motorola Razr Fold is frustratingly hard to recommend. The Razr Fold is the company’s first book-style foldable, and it enters the US market with something not currently available on the competition: truly excellent battery life that rivals the best slab-style phones. No need to worry if […]

Vivo’s X300 Ultra has the best cameras in any phone

A few months ago, I wrote that the telephoto camera is the only lens that matters any more, at least when it comes to Ultra-class flagships. As phones got better, cameras became where manufacturers tried to stand out. As cameras got better, telephoto lenses became the next point of focus. The most recent Ultra phones […]

Oppo’s new phone has one camera too many

Oppo’s Find X9 Ultra offers something that no other new phone has for three long years: a 10x telephoto lens. In an attempt to win the photography front of the war between the various Ultra flagships, Oppo has turned to a trick last employed by Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra. It’s a better 10x lens than […]
