Can you imagine a phone with a 200-megapixel camera? The iPhone 11’s cameras boast only 12 megapixels, for context. But those massive-megapixel high-end phone photos could become a reality, Qualcomm said on Tuesday at its third annual Snapdragon Tech Summit in Maui, Hawaii. The Snapdragon 865 chipset will support a number of high-end phones in …

Motorola may be charging back into the premium phone game with 5G connectivity and foldable phones in 2020, but here at the end of 2019, it’s got one more midrange deal waiting in the wings. The Motorola One Hyper is a stylish new phone with a 32-megapixel pop-up selfie camera, a 64-megapixel main camera and night mode — and it’ll only …

Motorola publicly announced a return to premium phones on Tuesday, at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Tech Summit in Maui, Hawaii. Advances in 5G and camera prowess, supported by the just-unveiled Snapdragon 865 and 765 chips, will help give the struggling brand an way to put its foot in the door for 2020 among intense competition. With the foldable Razr launch in November, Motorola’s …

The 2004 Motorola Razr is back for 2019, this time with a sexy foldable 6.2-inch screen that bends in half and a 16-megapixel camera for all your shots. After playing with it at Motorola’s Chicago headquarters, I called it, “Streamlined. Utterly pocketable. Nostalgic, with a sharp futuristic edge.” You might call it a flip phone for the modern age — …

Earlier this week I suggested that the Motorola Razr could be a foldable phone for the rest of us. At $1,500 it certainly isn’t cheap, and I’m not suggesting everyone run out and buy one on Dec. 26 when preorders start. But compared to the $1,980 Samsung Galaxy Fold, the Razr is a much easier device to wield, and it …

Motorola’s new $1,500 foldable Razr phone is winking at you. With the right combination of keys and swipes, you can make the newfangled device for 2019 look, sound and act like the Razr flip phone from 2004. Or at least the phone dialer. We went hands-on with the fun throwback screen at Motorola’s headquarters in Chicago before the company launched …

I’ve opened and closed foldable phones hundreds of times by now. But even after reviewing the Galaxy Fold (twice), playing with Huawei’s Mate X and bending slim concept designs, nothing has prepared me for TCL’s prototype dual-hinged phone, which folds in three parts and opens into a huge, 10-inch tablet.  The most remarkable thing about TCL’s phone is that the hinges …

With the blink of an eye, Google’s Pixel 4 (and Pixel 4 XL) accomplished something that no other significant Android phone-maker has. It finally caught up to iPhone’s Face ID — a biometric unlocking feature that Apple popularized two years ago — to unlock the phone and buy things with a scan of your face. Now that a secure version exists …

Google’s new Pixel 4 picks up some fascinating new camera features, motion-sensing radar and live transcription, but secure face unlock is the feature you’ll come to know most intimately. With the Pixel 4, Google follows in Apple’s footsteps, doing away with biometric fingerprint scanning and relying on your face to unlock the device. In fact, Google hints that its approach …

A few weeks ago, I gave the Galaxy Note 10 a CNET Editors’ Choice award, calling it out as one of the best phones for most people. It’s sleek, powerful, has excellent battery life and — while it’s missing a headphone jack and a microSD card slot — the benefits far outweigh the trade-offs, especially for the $950 price. But …
