Oppo has revealed that the display on its upcoming flagship phone, the Oppo Find X2, will have a 120Hz refresh rate, the same as Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series, and a 3K screen.

You know the feeling: You get a new phone, appliance or other device, take a quick peek at the owner’s manual and then throw it in a drawer — until something breaks, and those instructions seem to have disappeared.

And while Google may be done naming each Android release after sweets and desserts, the search giant is still keeping to its schedule of shipping major updates to its mobile OS each year. Early prerelease versions of Android — as with any operating system — are interesting because they can …

Samsung’s new folding Z Flip has impressed us in our full review process. CNET editor Jessica Dolcourt even went so far as to call it “the best foldable phone I’ve ever used.” Big words, when the competition is heating up with the likes of the Motorola Razr, Huawei Mate X and Samsung’s own Galaxy Fold.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 comes in three different permutations. There’s the 6.2-inch Galaxy S20, the 6.7-inch S20 Plus and the huge 6.9-inch S20 Ultra. All three phones are now available for preorder.
