Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends I’ve long been a fan of leather. It’s probably the metalhead in me. Judas Priest. Metallica. Or maybe it was the smell of the baseball glove when I was younger. And it hasn’t gone away as I’ve aged. Leather belts. Leather wallets. And, of course, leather phone cases over the years. A ridiculous number of phones and cases, given my profession for the past 15 years. And that means when I saw the Nomad Magnetic Leather Back make an appearance, I knew I had to have one. It’s a pretty…

iPhone has a bunch of cool features, but few are as useful as contact groups. As of iOS 16, Apple lets you pool contacts together into groups, making it easy to spam out messages to family, friends, or colleagues without needing to tinker with a bunch of clunky settings. You don't even need any extra software or apps – as long as you're running iOS 16 or later, you can quickly make a contact group on your iPhone. In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to create a contact group on your iPhone, how to send…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends As Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 continues in Barcelona, Spain, there are whispers that Samsung could be releasing not one, but two Galaxy Z Fold 6 models. More specifically, one of them could be a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, at least according to a report from WinFuture. If this is the case, it will be the first time that Samsung releases two Z Fold variants at the same time — and the first time we’ve seen an Ultra model in the Z Fold family. For some time now, there has been a rumor…

Samsung recently released the Samsung Galaxy S24, and one of the best times to get yourself some savings on outgoing models is right after a new product release. That makes the Samsung Galaxy S22 a hot commodity when it comes to landing a deal right now, as it’s the new “old” device and there are a lot of Samsung Galaxy S22 deals available to pounce on. It’s been a popular phone for quite some time and still can compete with the hardware we’re seeing in many of the best phones. You’ll be able to find Galaxy S22 deals…

OnLeaks / SmartPrix Samsung has already had a very busy 2024, from launching three new Galaxy S phones to teasing its upcoming Galaxy Ring. Now, we reportedly have our first look at the company’s upcoming foldable — the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. Early in the morning on February 28, leaker @OnLeaks teamed up with SmartPrix to share design renders of the Fold 6. At first glance, the Fold 6 looks a lot like last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 5. There’s a narrow 6.2-inch cover screen on the outside, and when the Fold 6 is opened,…

HMD Global HMD Global is best known for making phones with the Nokia name on them, but that’s changing in 2024, and at MWC 2024, it has revealed its bold plan for the future. Not only is it making a Barbie phone with Mattel, but it’s also improving repairability. In turn, it’s tackling one of the industry’s biggest missed opportunities — modular phones — by taking on the concept in a new way. Digital Trends spoke to HMD Global’s head of product marketing, Adam Ferguson, over Zoom during the Barcelona trade show to…

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…

ZTE ZTE has unveiled a bunch of new Nubia smartphones at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, which is being held in Barcelona, Spain. These devices are intended to be distributed in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Each smartphone is designed to cater to a different type of consumer, including ZTE’s first flip smartphone. Although we may not see these devices in the U.S. any time soon, it is an interesting look at what other companies across the water are doing in the Android…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Rumors of the Nokia phone name’s latest demise are not true, and more phones will be released by HMD Global, which owns the license to make them under the Nokia name. It’s news sure to please all fans of one of the most established, familiar names in mobile tech. Digital Trends clarified the situation during a conversation with HMD Global’s head of product marketing, Adam Ferguson, at MWC 2024, amid the announcement of the company’s efforts outside the Nokia name. An important part of…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends The Tecno Pova 6 Pro has a mad name, comes in a mad green color, and has an equally unhinged design. It’s undoubtedly the craziest-looking smartphone announced at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, and we haven’t even started to get into the crazy features yet. I spent a long weekend with the Tecno Pova 6 Pro, a phone you probably won’t ever get to buy, but one you should definitely know about. It has managed to capture my heart in a way I didn’t really expect. Tecno’s crazy and mad…
