Samsung Galaxy Fold's iFixit teardown shows what changed with new design

Posted: 08 Oct 2019 07:20 AM PDT

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Fold back in February but later decided to cancel the release as the smartphone had its fair share of durability issues. The company reintroduced the Galaxy Fold earlier last month with an improved design, and a teardown by the folks over at iFixit gives us a closer look at what exactly Samsung changed with the new Fold. For starters, Samsung closed the gaps on either side of the display with a protective cover to prevent dust and other particles from getting inside. The company also covered the hinges on the inside with tape to keep dirt away from the...

Caviar introduces new iPhone 11 Pro design, gets rid of the square camera setup

Posted: 08 Oct 2019 06:30 AM PDT

The Russian company Caviar, mostly known for its impressively expensive smartphone designs, has just launched its iPhone 11 Pro version. It is called Victory and implements the letter V on the back, splitting the back panel in two while omitting the square setup that many compared with a stove or an electric razor. The limited collection is a "symbol of superiority of beauty over the routine". The different hand-crafted designs are available both for the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, but the camera shooters are surrounded by a different design element. Caviar added a...

Motorola is getting ready to unveil its first-ever phone with a pop-up camera. The phone boasts a 32MP cam installed in a pop-up module with a curious arrangement - the camera is lined up with the dual camera hump on the back. That hump is home to another high-resolution sensor - the main camera has 64MP resolution. That's an upgrade over the 48MP sensor found in the Motorola One Zoom and Vision. There's no telephoto or even ultra wide camera here, though, just an 8MP depth sensor. The main camera tops out at 4K/30 video recording and also offers 120fps slow-mo at 1080p or 240fps at...

Posted: 07 Oct 2019 09:00 PM PDT

Samsung has added three more devices to its public list of phones that are supposed to get monthly security updates. These are the Galaxy A50, Galaxy Fold, and Galaxy Xcover 4s. The Fold being there is no surprise at all, seeing as how it's a flagship in its own right, while the A50's presence on the list makes official what was already going on. The company's best selling mid-ranger of the year has received a lot of attention, software update-wise, so far, and the cadence was pretty much monthly for these, but now owners know to expect something similar in the future too. This move is...

Posted: 07 Oct 2019 07:30 PM PDT

HTC hasn't given up on its smartphone business, plans a comeback

Posted: 07 Oct 2019 08:20 AM PDT

HTC hasn't been relevant for quite some time now. Sure, there are a couple of handsets released in the last couple of years almost all of which are either mid-range or high-end smartphones. But this year, the company is absent and didn't release any phone. We did see the entry-level Wildfire X, but that was a different company that just licensed the name. The company's new CEO, Yves Maitres, however, says HTC is not giving up on the smartphone business. He shared his vision of a return to the high-end smartphone market when the time is right. HTC will focus on markets with high GDP...
