We’re talking a vastly upgraded processor and significantly more RAM — and those are both really big deals. According to a recent report from Android Authority, citing an unnamed source, “Google has been testing the Pixel Fold 2 internally for the last couple of months.” That shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. The more…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Smartphones tend to improve yearly, but their usefulness decreases if they break because of a fall.

The most recent Allstate Protection Plans drop tests have revealed concerning results for the newly released Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones. Spoiler:…

@OnLeaks / SmartPrix More rumors have emerged of a new Nothing smartphone, and unlike its predecessors, it’s missing a big part of what made Nothing notable. According to leaks released by Steve McFly (with SmartPrix), the new Nothing Phone 2a will not use the company’s innovative Glyph lighting system, eschewing it in favor of … well, a plain back panel. The claimed official renders show the back panel of Nothing’s upcoming midrange smartphone. It’s clad in white, with two vertically arranged camera lenses in the…

Tushar Mehta / Digital Trends “Do I need all that?” That’s the question on the mind of shoppers before they splurge a now-standard $1,000 asking price for a top-tier phone in 2024. Ideally, that dilemma should be there. The likes of Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max have won laurels for a handful of standout features they offer. But you might not need those standout features at all. I’ve been on that road, and more frequently than I have the temerity to admit. For some reason, regret comes as…

Prakhar Khanna / Digital Trends Honor took its sweet time to bring the Magic V2 out of China – six months, to be precise. Given the amazing hardware, it’s been a long wait. I’ve had a test unit since July 2023, which didn’t have the software and cameras ready until earlier this month. After using it as my primary device for a few weeks, I can confidently say that the Honor Magic V2 is the most comfortable foldable phone I’ve used to date. Perfectly bridging the gap between a regular and foldable phone Galaxy S24…
