Folding

the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 (from left) Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 Andy Boxall / Digital Trends It increasingly seems likely that Samsung’s foldable phone strategy is aiming for a lower price bracket. Right now, a taste of Galaxy foldables will cost you a minimum of $1,000. However, an upcoming entry-level foldable phone might bring that barrier down to just $800. According to a report from Korea’s Sisa Journal, Samsung is in talks with supply chain partners to sort out the logistics for making an…

Engwe has recently updated its popular 20-inch e-bike, now launching as the Engwe L20 2.0. While it lacks some of the fancier features seen in many of today’s leading e-bikes, it still appears to pack in some solid performance at an incredibly low price. The L20 2.0 expands upon what we saw in the original L20 launch, adding a folding mechanism and other features to make the bike more convenient and more comfortable to use. Engwe tells us that the L20 2.0 includes a 750W continuous-rated rear motor…

Apple fans have been clamoring for a folding iPhone for years, but it looks like there’s only one foldable device in the company’s development schedule at the moment — a 20-inch MacBook.According to top insider Ming-Chi-Kuo, “currently, Apple's only foldable product with a clear development schedule is the 20.3-inch MacBook, expected to enter mass production in 2027.”The foldable MacBook has been a long-standing rumor, with previous reports claiming that the 20.3-inch foldable displays would be sourced from Samsung and…

Joe Maring / Digital Trends I just used Motorola’s newest folding phones, and it may be one of the most impressive (and confusing) I’ve ever laid my hands on. Last October, Motorola teased its “adaptive display concept” device, releasing photos of a truly wild phone that bends into a variety of positions, including the ability to wrap around your wrist to transform into a giant smartwatch. Seeing the images online, I was blown away — but also a little skeptical. It looked unlike any other folding phone I’ve ever…

Prakhar Khanna / Digital Trends Last summer, the Honor Magic V2 surprised me with its thin and light design. It’s the closest a foldable phone has been to a slab phone. Now, at MWC 2024, Honor has one-upped itself with the Porsche Edition of the device. The 2,699 euro Honor Magic V2 RSR might feature the same specifications, but it’s even lighter than the regular V2 – at 234 grams. I’ve had it for around three weeks now, and while I’ve enjoyed the experience of having a big screen folded in my pocket, a few things…

A new report, citing "supply chain sources" claims that Apple's foldable project is now converging on the design. That means that multiple design elements of the folding device are coming together, suggesting that that phase of the folding project is nearing completion and that Apple is beginning to think about mass production. The report seemingly suggests that Apple's folding device won't be ready this year or in 2025. Rumors have strongly suggested that Apple is working on at least two flip-style folding devices…

The long-awaited foldable iPhone may be further away than otherwise thought, but there’s a silver lining that may come in the form of a tablet. As reported by Digitimes, Taiwan-based sources say “Apple has been developing foldables for the past five years, and its first foldable product will not be a smartphone. It will instead be a larger device.” Digitimes cites a report stating that while Apple has been unhappy with screen quality up until this point for its foldable iPhone project, a larger foldable iPad or MacBook…

Tushar Mehta / Digital Trends The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a technological marvel. Not content with creating some of the world’s most powerful smartphones, Samsung decided they had to bend in the middle as well, and the original Z Fold sprang from that seemingly insane decision. Several years later, the culmination of that process is the Galaxy Z Fold 5 — a folding phone with an enormous inner display, flagship hardware, and the most advanced hinge technology we’ve ever seen. I’ve just bought one, and I should be…

Apple’s folding iPhone prototype: iPhone Flip? As we mentioned above, Apple has been testing the waters since 2016. We have come across multiple patents showcasing the various ways Apple could take for its folding iPhone. According to The Information finding, the most plausible design seems to be like a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. The publication has learned this from someone with direct knowledge of the project. However, these two prototypes are in the early stages of development and are not in Apple’s mass-production…
