The best flip phones of 2025: Where does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 stand?

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-11-20 12:15:16

Flip phones have come a long way in the last decade. After their resurgence with the 2019 Motorola Razr refresh, they have only improved over the years. The best flip phones not only have a big cover display and a strong hinge but also an intuitive software to utilize their unique designs. The 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra, for instance, packs an AMOLED foldable display, a feature-rich user interface and a comfortable in-hand feel, alongside a bunch of AI features.

Samsung phones could finally offer a vivid photo profile, but there’s bad news

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-20 15:15:25

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker claims Samsung could offer a ‘vivid’ photo style in ‘the next version’ of One UI 8. This would allow you to take photos with more saturated colors compared to the default profile. Unfortunately, this vivid style seems to be tied to Samsung’s new photo watermarks. Samsung offers some of the best camera phones around, and these devices recently gained a custom filter option so you can personalize your image output. However, Galaxy phones still lac

Your Motorola phone has a secret way to make your PIN more secure. Here’s how to use it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-20 00:00:24

Joe Maring / Android Authority A secure Android phone is a healthy Android phone. If you’re like me, the primary line of defense for your phone is a PIN. Sure, you may also use your phone’s fingerprint sensor or face unlock, but it’s your PIN or password that’s ultimately keeping your data secure. PINs work the same on all Android phones: you enter the correct PIN to unlock your phone, and if you enter the wrong one multiple times, you’re temporarily locked out. And as we all know, the longer

How to Block Spam Calls and Turn On Call Screening in the iOS 26 Beta

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-20 02:00:03

Apple released the third public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 14. The update brought a handful of new features, like a new Liquid Glass design and the ability to change your alarm's snooze length, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers.
