I said in my full Galaxy Fold review that Samsung’s new foldable phone lives and dies by its screen. Nothing could be truer. On your typical phone, screen quality is more a given than anything else. If it’s large enough, bright enough outdoors and pin-sharp, then you’re probably not going to think about it as much as …

Update, Sept. 5: We’ve gone hands-on with Samsung’s revamped Galaxy Fold ahead of its revised release later this month. We’ll soon update this review, which was last updated in April. Even before the raft of screen malfunctions, it was clear how important the Galaxy Fold‘s $1,980 screen is. Unlike other phones, which might stand out because of a multitude of …

After five reports of broken Galaxy Fold review units and an official delay of Samsung’s $2,000 foldable phone, Samsung is in trouble. But for rivals like Huawei’s foldable Mate X, the rumored Razr flip phone and all the rest, Samsung’s pains  with the Galaxy Fold could spell opportunity.  Samsung’s rivals are watching the company’s every move, taking notes and assuredly devising their own plans to …

Samsung hit the pause button on its beleaguered Galaxy Fold after several incidents with screens last week left early-production review units unusable. Although the phone-maker said that it will announce a new release date for its first foldable phone “in the coming weeks,” AT&T on Tuesday sent an email to preorder customers with a new shipping date: June 13. CNET has fully reviewed the …

What if the Galaxy Note 10 or next year’s Galaxy S11 had a slide-out camera with lenses that take your selfies before swiveling around to snap a portrait of your dog? Thanks to Samsung’s launch this week of the Galaxy A80, which has just that camera setup, the possibility is no longer the stuff of pure fancy. After all, if Samsung …

The Galaxy S10, S10E and S10 Plus are three of a kind in the best possible way. They’re all fast, powerful phones with great cameras and long battery life. They’re water resistant, have jacks for your wired headphones and can charge wirelessly. There’s a lot to love with all three. No phone’s perfect, of course, and this trio has a …

Samsung has revealed a few more details about the Galaxy S10 5G, its first 5G phone. Namely, that it’ll come to the US in May, with preorders starting “soon”. We found out a few months ago that it will sell first with Verizon. I had seen the most advanced member of the Galaxy S10 lineup about a week before Samsung’s big reveal, but the …

Update, Sept. 18: We now have a retail model of the Galaxy Fold and have begun to review it. The Galaxy Fold, Samsung’s first foldable phone, blew the top off the mobile industry when we first heard of it in February. Since then, this foldable device, which we’ve never seen in person (this YouTube video might be it), has been beset …

 A week ago, I trudged through a cold drizzle, coffee clutched desperately in hand, to test Verizon’s new 5G network the day after it launched in parts of downtown Chicago and Minneapolis. After using it for six solid hours on the Moto Z3 and its 5G Moto Mod in Chicago, I walked away with a clearer understanding of the biggest issues facing Verizon and other …

Motorola can boast about making the first commercial phone running on a live 5G network, but I’d bet money that its rumored foldable update to the iconic Razr phone will leave the most lasting mark. Both are key devices in 2019’s mobile story, a landscape that’s in the midst of tremendous evolution.  5G is the next-generation data network poised to …
