Two years ago, Apple pushed the price of its mobile phones to a thousand bucks with the iPhone X. In September, it made the case for its pricier phones by adding a wide-angle camera, night mode and better battery life. Apple even gave us the slow-motion selfie, which it calls a slofie. Apple likes the …

Attaching a game controller to your phone while on the go can be a clunky, annoying production, and many mobile games can feel nonresponsive, awkward or just impossible when you’re chronically fatfingered. Razer hopes to solve that problem with its new Junglecat, which provides Nintendo Switch Joy-Con-like controllers for Android phones. Initially, the $100 (£100, AU$168) gamepad will only work via …

Which Android has the best camera? Google’s new Pixel 4 phones are certainly contenders, but for a large chunk of 2019 the answer was Huawei’s P30 Pro. Upon its launch, CNET’s Andrew Hoyle said that the P30 Pro took better photos than any other phone. Apple’s phones captured better videos, but between the P30 Pro’s quad-camera setup and features that …

The Federal Communications Commission plans to cut off funding to wireless carriers that use equipment the agency says may pose a national security risk.  The FCC said Monday it’ll vote next month to bar operators that receive Universal Service Fund money from purchasing gear from companies such as Chinese telecom gear makers Huawei and ZTE, which national security agencies in …

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 …

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 …

Honor is a sub-brand of Chinese firm Huawei, meaning it’s banned from using Google services (including Android) just like its parent company. Why, then, has the new Honor 9X arrived in Europe running Android 9? Honor hasn’t found a cheeky loophole, it’s actually that the phone was in development (and indeed on sale in China) before the ban was fully …

Huawei is keen to remind the world that the US ban isn’t holding it back. The controversial company shipped 200 million phones two months earlier than it did in 2018, it said Wednesday, the same day its Mate X foldable phone launched in China. Its release puts this success down to the launch of “stand-out devices” like the P30 and …

If you buy next year’s flagship Samsung Galaxy phone, it might come with a performance boost from a new processor the Korean electronics giant announced Wednesday. The Exynos 990 is 20% faster at executing ordinary processing tasks, 20% faster handling graphics and double the speed at software tuned for the chip’s AI acceleration circuitry. Oh, and it should do that …

After facing delays, Huawei’s foldable Mate X phone is finally ready to go on sale. The bad news for anyone eager to be among its early adopters is that it won’t be available outside of China. At least, for now.  Read more: A new dual-hinged foldable phone prototype from TCL bends into thirds like an accordion — we went hands-on Huawei initially showed …
