Two days before Samsung’s Unpacked event is set to kick off on Feb. 11, the company teased its upcoming foldable flip phone in an ad that ran during the Oscars. The Z Flip, as the device is known to be called, marks the company doubling down on foldable phones. We’ve known since October that a foldable clamshell design …

Samsung Unpacked is here. On Tuesday in San Francisco at 11am PT (watch live here), the world’s largest phone-maker will take the wraps off its newest phones for 2020, expected to be the Galaxy S20, S20 Pro or Plus and S20 Ultra 5G phones and the Galaxy Z Flip, a foldable phone that bends vertically and rivals the Motorola Razr. Samsung …

Today’s the day. You can now buy a Motorola Razr foldable phone in person from Verizon and select Walmart stores starting today, its official sale date. Those who preordered might have to wait until mid-February to receive their phones, but they’re in stock at brick-and-mortar stores starting today, Feb. 6. Keep reading for sale information, and catch up on what the Motorola Razr …

After an uneven start in 2019, foldable phones have another chance in 2020 to prove that they should exist — not just as a fad, but as a viable design for future phones. The Samsung Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X and new Motorola Razr all suffered from an inconvenient delay or worse. I can forgive them, at least in retrospect. In 2020, we …

This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon. In exactly two weeks, Samsung is set to reveal the Galaxy S20 series of flagship phones and the Galaxy Z Flip, a foldable clamshell device whose screen folds from top to bottom down the middle. Rumors are pouring in that the …

Samsung’s fully embraced the “Go big or go home” mentality with its tabletlike Galaxy Fold last year. But its second foldable phone — rumored to be called the Galaxy Z Flip (internal code name Galaxy Bloom) — is almost guaranteed to be smaller. It’s also likely going to be cheaper, bend vertically instead of horizontally and be outfitted with only half the cameras its folding …

Samsung can credit the Galaxy S line with securing its place as the world’s top smartphone brand. But after more than a decade, rumors say the company is shaking up the way it names its Galaxy S devices. The Galaxy S11 could become the Galaxy S20, with next year’s phone going by the name Galaxy S21 and so on, to match …

Signs suggest that Samsung’s upcoming flagship phone, rumored to be called the Galaxy S20 and not the Galaxy S11, could be the first in 2020 to run its photography, gaming features, 5G-ready data connection and live maps navigation off the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chip. What does that mean? Up to 35% more power efficiency and up to 25% more powerful speeds overall. I got a chance …

If the rumors are right, the Galaxy S20 — formerly known as the Galaxy S11 — could be a beast of a phone, with a bold design on the back and a suite of powerful features within. Leaks and reports predict that the unannounced phone, which we’re expecting to see Feb. 11 at Samsung’s Unpacked event, will have up to …

Foldable phones like the Galaxy Fold have a big problem — the screen. Today’s phones use plastic cover materials, but bendable glass is the Holy Grail of foldable phone design because of its ability to repel the damage from casual scrapes sustained by polymer.
