TCL’s tri-fold prototype phone folds in thirds like an accordion

[ad_1] As CNET points out, it ends up looking something like a Z or a taco holder. You can also fold all of the screens together so you have a form factor that looks more like the phones we’re used to, only it’s a thick stack of screens. While it’s great to see companies experimenting […]

Supreme’s burner phone is a hypebeast’s dream

[ad_1] The phone sold out in seconds on Supreme’s site, and even though I had an early morning slot to get into the store, the red model was already gone. So I bought the black one you see here. Before we go any further, I know you’re probably wondering who asked for this? And the […]

Apple’s new iPhones can better manage your battery as it ages

[ad_1] This new framework, which Apple specifically says is different from the feature in older phones, uses a combination of hardware and software to avoid performance hits as iPhone batteries age. “While performance impacts are reduced as much as possible, battery aging might still eventually lead to noticeable, possibly temporary, effects,” says the support document.

Microsoft’s ‘Your Phone’ screen mirroring app is down

[ad_1] This is bad timing for an outage. As The Verge explains, the Galaxy Note 10 has its own version of Your Phone, called “Link to PC.” That phone just went on sale last week, and Link to PC is reportedly unavailable as part of this outage. Typically, the app lets you reply to texts, […]

ASUS’ camera-flipping ZenFone 6 goes on sale in the US

[ad_1] Perhaps the ZenFone 6’s most notable feature is its flippable camera. There’s no native front-facing lens (or notch). Instead, you can flip up the rear dual lenses to put your phone in selfie mode. The handset includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, up to 8GB of RAM and a maximum 256GB of built-in storage. […]

Oppo eliminates side bezels with its ‘waterfall screen’

[ad_1] Oppo stopped short of sharing further details — no specs, no dates and, most importantly, no word on whether this would make phones more prone to drop damage. Also, perhaps to no surprise, a leaked glass piece suggests that Vivo is also working on a similar tech, possibly for its upcoming NEX 3 flagship. […]

ASUS’ ROG Phone II combines high-spec power with accessory spectacle

[ad_1] The most interesting part here is the accessories. The ROG Phone II still comes bundled with a clip-on fan (this still uses the phone’s side port), but this new and improved AeroActive Cooler II is apparently four times quieter, and it can reduce the surface temperature by up to 5 degrees Celsius lower. Another […]

RED finally ships the $1,600 titanium Hydrogen One

[ad_1] At long last, RED is shipping the titanium version of its Hydrogen One phone. It promised the variant when it announced the handset in 2017, and took pre-orders for that version at the full $1,595 cost. When RED delayed the titanium model last September, it sent those who pre-ordered it the aluminum version, and […]

Avis makes it easier to find a parking spot for your car rental

[ad_1] Driving in an unfamiliar city can be stressful, and finding parking is even worse. Eventually, we’ll have autonomous vehicles to deal with that for us, but until then, companies are looking at ways to ease the strain. That’s why car rental brand Avis has partnered with mobility solutions company Arrive to add a space-finding […]

Samsung imagines full-screen phone with a camera hidden under the display

[ad_1] The Galaxy S10 was the company’s first phone to include a “hole-punch” cut-out in the display, but Yang says that eventually, the selfie camera will be placed underneath the display itself. While the company hasn’t revealed any timescales for such a device, Yang did say that it “wouldn’t be possible” within the next one […]
