I began this ongoing review of the Galaxy S20 Ultra knowing that Samsung’s redesigned camera system and its massive 5,000-mAh battery would make or break the phone. I’ve spent the past few days testing its 108-megapixel main sensor and up-to-100x AI-assisted camera zoom, looking for reasons to use these over-the-top features in real life. I finally found …

Sprint and T-Mobile said Thursday they’ve reached an agreement on new terms for their megamerger. This should pave the way for the companies to complete the $26.5 billion deal, following a ruling last week by a federal court that rejected claims that the merger would be bad for consumers.  The companies say the deal could close as early as April 1. …

Motorola’s original Razr V3 is one of the most iconic phones of all time. When it was released in 2004, it looked like it belonged to the future, thanks to its sleek design and anodized aluminum finish. The blue backlit keyboard, etched from a single piece of metal, only added to the appeal. And people lined up around the block …

Lately it’s all been about Samsung: The new Galaxy S20 and Z Flip, price cuts on the Galaxy S10, great deals on the Galaxy S9. But if you favor the iPhone, and you’ve been wringing every last ounce out of your old model, this might be the dirt-cheap upgrade you’ve been looking for. For a limited time, and while supplies …

Qualcomm has a new modem for next year’s 5G phones that aims to boost the average speed on devices by aggregating different types of wireless signals.   The company on Tuesday unveiled its Snapdragon X60 5G modem, which is made using process technology of 5 nanometers, or 5 billionths of a meter. That results in lower power consumption and a …

After a lengthy legal battle, one of the states that led the charge to block T-Mobile’s $26.5 billion merger with Sprint is laying down its arms. In a statement Sunday, New York Attorney General Letitia James — who spearheaded the case against the merger alongside California AG Xavier Becerra — said she will not be appealing a US District judge’s …

When Samsung announced the Galaxy S20 lineup earlier this week, I made the case for considering the Galaxy S10 instead. That previous-generation model is about to get a price cut, and you can already get it pretty cheap if you’re game for a refurb. OK, but let’s go back another generation. Way back in 2018, the Galaxy S9 was the …

Last year, 5G phones were just getting started. This year, it will be hard to avoid them — and you’re going to pay more for the superfast technology, whether you actually want it or not. At least, that was the message from Samsung at its latest Unpacked event, held Tuesday in San Francisco. If you want one of the company’s …

T-Mobile’s deal with Sprint is almost across the finish line after a New York court decision that the pending $26.5 billion transaction could go ahead. US District Judge Victor Marrero formally ruled on Tuesday in favor of the deal, which will combine the third- and fourth-largest US wireless carriers.   Fourteen state attorneys general, led by New York and California, had …

Amazon said Thursday that it’s planning to rapidly expand its hiring in Bellevue, Washington, just east of its Seattle headquarters, in a sign of the company’s continued interest in bringing on tens of thousands more employees.
