The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is the latest addition to the foldable smartphone market, receiving widespread praise for its new shape, size, design, thinner profile, and improved internal components. In addition to this, Google has been touting that the new hinge on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is more durable than the previous generation. However, it seems the Pixel 9 Pro Fold might not be as sturdy as the company would have hoped for — as the foldable snaps in half in JerryRigEverything's bend test.

A new leak shows the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a new design that moves away from the S24 Ultra’s style with a revamped frame and lighter build. It might feature flatter, angular edges and rounder corners, offering a more compact look while staying close in size to the S24 Ultra.

The quality of phone cameras has advanced so much over recent years that you can rely solely on your phone to take videos and photos if you so wish. Even if you do still prefer a proper camera when you can use one, sometimes an opportunity for a breathtaking photo comes along and all you have is your phone with you, or the need to track a bunch of heavy equipment along with you might be too much to handle.

Quick answer: Yes, the IP48-rated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is functionally waterproof, but shouldn't be used for underwater photography. Foldables have come a long way since the original Z Fold's inauspicious debut. Improved performance, streamlined form factors, and increasingly useful software come alongside arguably their most important upgrade: significantly improved durability.

I've often wondered about the origin of the phrase "splitting hairs." As it turns out, the phrase is from the 17th century and means what you'd expect: the hairs are so fine that attempting to split them is futile. I wouldn't say that comparing the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is pointless. Still, any decision between the two will be made on the margins. I found that 95% of daily tasks were handled easily on both devices, with little difference in performance.

Quick answer: No, the Google Pixel Watch 3 won't work with standard watch bands. You must buy proprietary watch bands instead.

Despite the size difference, the two watches share the same type of proprietary connectors to attach bands; there's a wide range of options to choose from, some of which are super affordable and others as high as $180.

It's been a big week for Google — but not the good kind. Way back in 2017, the European Union fined Google a record $2.7 billion for favoritism, asserting that the company abused its dominance of online search to push people to use its shopping tools. After a series of unsuccessful appeals, it looks like Google's actually going to have to pay its tab. Court proceedings also began this week for a separate antitrust suit in the US, one initially brought in 2017 over Google's dominance of the online ad business. This all comes just weeks after the revelation that the US Department of Justice may seek to break Google up following another antitrust suit in which the company was ruled as monopolizing online search.

Arguably the best Windows gaming handheld on the market, the Asus ROG Ally X packs several helpful upgrades over the original ROG Ally, giving it the extra headroom many gamers hoped for. However, it’s also more expensive, representing a significant investment. So, with no carrying case or cover included in the box, you will need one to keep it safe while storing it or traveling.

Google kicked off its AI smartphone push with the Pixel 8 series a year ago. Now, the mobile industry is following in Google's footsteps. Samsung's recent Galaxy Z Fold 6 is marketed as an "AI Cell Phone" in its official Amazon listing, and Apple says the new iPhone 16 is "built for Apple Intelligence." The Google Pixel 9 series takes this to the next level with features like Add me, Pixel Studio, and Reimagine.
