For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been asking — repeatedly — where the promised Trump phone is, whether it exists, and what happened to all the money people have already paid for deposits. And I’m going to keep doing that every week for the foreseeable future. Not everyone thinks I should. I’ve been told […]
Google is now widely rolling out Call Recording to Pixel 6 and newer devices that don’t support the Gemini Nano-powered Call Notes feature found in the Pixel 9 and 10’s Phone app, as spotted by 9to5Google. Google first announced the expansion of the Call Recording feature in September. It should be available after you update […]
Just two months ago, accepted wisdom was that there would be no Galaxy S26 Plus, Samsung’s mid-sized flagship canned in favor of a slim Edge phone. Now things have flipped, with the Edge supposedly cancelled and the Plus not only on track to release early next year, but revealed in new renders based on the […]
Last week I asked where the Trump phone was. The answer? Nowhere. There’s no update, no response, no sign of it. And since it’s still not here, I am — again — asking the same question. And I’m afraid I’m going to keep being here, week in, week out, until I have a T1 Phone in […]
Huawei is the latest phone manufacturer to release a thin phone: the Mate 70 Air. That’s our third Air for the year — after the iPhone and ZTE’s Nubia Air — to only two Edges, suggesting Apple’s influence still reigns supreme over Samsung’s. At 6.6mm thick, the Mate 70 Air isn’t quite as slim as […]
I’ve been as much of a thin phone skeptic as anyone. Why would I give up on camera specs and battery life just to shave a couple of millimeters off a phone’s waistline? I asked pretty much exactly that when I first saw Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year. But the Motorola Edge 70 […]
The Redmagic 11 Pro is the first phone (outside of a OnePlus concept design, at least) to feature true liquid cooling, and it’s launching worldwide later this month — including the US, though you won’t be able to buy it direct from any carriers. We’ve seen plenty of phones launch with vapor chambers and call it […]
Whenever I review a phone, one of the first things I do after setting it up is charge it to full and then just… let it run, using it as my only phone for as long as I can, resisting every urge to charge it along the way. The Oppo Find X9 Pro lasted for […]
Almost exactly a month ago, I wrote an article for theverge.com pointing out that the T1 Phone 8002 (gold version) — a.k.a. the Trump phone — had missed its promised release date. Now here I am again, because the phone still hasn’t come out. In case you’ve forgotten, the T1 is a very gold mid-range Android […]
Vivo’s flagship X300 and X300 Pro only launched in China two weeks ago, but they’re getting an international release faster than we’re used to from Vivo. Today, the company announced that both phones are going on sale outside China, including a handful of European countries, and bringing with them OriginOS — Vivo’s previously China-only Android-based operating […]
