The Galaxy A16 5G isn’t exciting, but there’s one big reason why I think it’s the best budget phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-06-18 02:30:57

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Samsung's Galaxy A16 5G doesn't revolutionize what it means to be a budget phone with new materials, an upgraded camera, or AI-powered features, but it delivers tons of value, backed by a flagship-grade update commitment that will see it supported for up to six years. It might not leap off the page, but this cheap Android phone is more than worth the money as a first phone or a long-term option for an older loved one.

Visual Intelligence feature coming to iPhone 15 Pro with a future iOS update

Apple Intelligence is available for iPhone 15 Pro and later, but there’s an exclusive feature for iPhone 16 models, which is Visual Intelligence. Some believed this was because the iPhone 15 Pro lacks Camera Control, but that all changed with the iPhone 16e – which supports Visual Intelligence.

I tested Oppo's super-thin foldable for a week, and it made my iPhone 16 Pro feel ordinary

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-06-18 02:00:17

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

I Tested the Oppo Find N5, and This Is What a Foldable Should Feel Like

cnet.com Abrar Al-Heeti 2025-06-18 02:00:00

The Oppo Find N5 appears to have achieved what foldables have long strived for, at least from a design perspective: It's ridiculously thin and feels like a normal phone when closed, with the added perk of a spacious, (almost) crease-less internal screen that's easy to navigate. Oppo's latest foldable, unveiled Thursday, is being marketed as "the world's thinnest book-style foldable when closed." And indeed, it measures only 8.93mm thick when closed – which, for reference, is just slightly thick

Apple's iPhone 16E Brings Apple Intelligence Features With a Cheaper Price Tag

cnet.com Abrar Al-Heeti 2025-06-18 03:00:11

Until now, Apple Intelligence has been reserved for the cool kids – aka, the people with the latest, most powerful iPhones. Now, the $599 (£599, AU$999) iPhone 16E is here to shake that up. Apple's latest version of its budget phone line invariably cuts corners when it comes to design and camera specs, but it doesn't hold back with AI.

The world’s thinnest foldable phone doesn’t come cheap

Oppo has launched the Find N5, the thinnest foldable phone in the world. It’s launching in markets worldwide, including across Europe and Asia, at $2,499 SGD (about $1,867 USD). That’s more expensive than either the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold in Singapore, though comparable once you adjust for storage. There won’t be any US release at all though, as sister brand OnePlus has already confirmed that it has no plans to launch a foldable phone this year. The Find N5 is slimme

Oppo Find N5 review: the final evolution of foldables

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-06-18 02:16:23

Oppo’s Find N5 feels like the end game for foldable phones. Not because it’s make or break for a segment of the phone market that never quite took off like manufacturers hoped it would, but because I simply don’t know where we go from here. There’s scarcely room to make the phone thinner without ditching USB-C entirely; battery life, performance, and even cameras are now on par with other flagship phones; and this time, Oppo even managed to fit wireless charging and water resistance in, too.

Oppo’s new foldable can remote control a Mac

Today Oppo launched the Find N5, the thinnest book-style foldable phone yet, but there’s more to the phone than a slim design: it’s capable of connecting to a Mac for file transfers and even remote control. It’s not quite the first Android phone to do so, but it is the only one you can buy outside of China.

The iPhone is done with home buttons — here’s why I’ll miss it

For the first time since the iPhone’s debut in 2007, Apple no longer sells a smartphone with a home button. The iPhone 16E announced yesterday removes it. The removal was long overdue, having been surpassed by all touchscreen controls many years ago. But while the home button’s time is over, it leaves behind an important legacy. The home button was crucial to the first iPhone, but it was also jarring; no other phone at that time had basically no buttons. It was both a gamble and a necessary inn

The new iPhone 16e, which was announced by Apple earlier today, features the A18 chip. In theory, this is the same chip that powers the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. However, as already reported by 9to5Mac, there is a slight difference in the chip inside the iPhone 16e, which suggests that Apple is using a binned chip in the less expensive model.

But one glaring omission in its spec sheet makes no sense: Why doesn't this $599 phone have MagSafe?
