Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest foldable yet, but that’s not why it matters

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest book-style foldable in the world, but you probably couldn’t tell. It’s just 0.1mm thinner — that’s four-thousandths of an inch — than the Oppo Find N5 or Samsung’s recent Galaxy Z Fold 7. If that’s a difference you claim to perceive, then I’m afraid I simply don’t believe you. I’ve put the V5 side by side with the Find N5 and I can barely feel the difference, let alone see i

Honor’s slim Magic V5 foldable is fun to use, minus the huge camera bump

There is a spec war going on among companies to claim the crown of thinnest foldable. Phone manufacturers are playing with fractions of millimeters to boast about their phone’s thickness. Honor is winning this race on a theoretical basis with its 8.8mm (when folded) thick Magic V5 foldable. I’m saying theoretical because there is a huge, camera-bump-sized caveat to this. Image Credits: Ivan Mehta The thin frame of the device looks and feels great as long as you hold it in a way that your fi

I edited my first Pixel 10 Pro pictures with Ask Photos, here’s how it went

I love the camera on my Pixel 10 Pro. I’ve trusted Google’s extremely natural approach to image processing for years, reaching for its lifelike tones over Samsung’s punchy reds and greens ever since I switched from the Galaxy S10 to the Pixel 5. However, I’ve always had one little problem with Google’s realistic approach: Sometimes I feel like my images are missing some character. So, when Google announced Ask Photos as a brand-new way to edit my entire camera roll of thoroughly average snaps,

iOS 26 fixed the Photos App & it’s more powerful than ever

Last year, with iOS 18, Apple tried to shake up the Photos App by making it more streamlined. They put everything under one view, and for most people, it was a flop. Instead of making it simpler to navigate, it was actually even more tedious to use. It felt like nothing really had its own place, and everything was just on one never-ending page. Apple seemed to have heard us and changed up the look and feel of the Photos App with iOS 26 and I think they nailed it. They took the best parts of the

iPhone 17 pricing: Here’s the rumored cost for each new model

Apple’s big September event is coming up fast, with the company expected to unveil four new iPhones: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Here are the rumored prices for each new iPhone 17 model, most of which could see a higher cost. iPhone 17 prices expected to increase for most models Despite the cost of nearly everything going up in recent years, Apple has been remarkably consistent with iPhone pricing. Though rumors regularly hint at Apple raising its iPhone pr

9 iPhone 17 Air rumors I'm tracking - and why Apple's ultra-thin model is set to kill the Plus

MacRumors / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways iPhone 17 Air may debut as Apple's thinnest phone ever. Single rear camera shows Apple's thinness trade-offs. Expected to debut on Sept. 9, 2025, priced around $900. Apple is rumored to be spicing things for this year's iPhone event. It could introduce an ultra-thin model for the 2025 iPhone lineup called the iPhone 17 Air. It's thought to be much slimmer than any iPhone so

The Pixel 10 fixes my biggest hardware pet peeve, but many of you won’t see it

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Much ink has been spilled around the Pixel 10’s SIM situation. In the US, the three main phones — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — ship without a physical SIM slot. You can use two eSIMs at the same time, and some of us think that’s fine. While I do love my eSIMs, I’m not ready to adopt them full time just yet, so you can’t imagine my relief when we learned that the rest of the world gets to keep the slot. My biggest relief, though, came when I discovered wh

Pixel 10's US Launch Might Be the Moment That eSIM Finally Becomes Easy

Google's choice to go eSIM-only in the US for the Pixel 10 might actually be a well-timed move by the company. While I was initially concerned that an eSIM-only phone might be a frustrating roadblock for the Pixel 10, several advances in how the US carriers support eSIM, along with a new iOS 26 feature, might actually make it easier than ever to switch your phone. And it's a good thing too, as despite being available for years and being required for the iPhone in the US since 2022's iPhone 14 l

Porsche adds digital keys, in-car gaming to 2026 Macan Electric

Although it feels like Porsche only just introduced the electric Macan, the sporty EV SUV is starting to become a more common sight on the road. And as the automaker transitions into model year 2026, it's giving the Macan some new digital toys. Now, both Android and iPhone users will be able to create a digital key for the car (iPhone users can also add a key to their Apple Watch). This works via near-field communication as well as Bluetooth low energy and ultra-wideband, and you can share keys

DJI’s Mic 3 crams more features into a smaller package

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. DJI is making its latest wireless lavalier microphone system even smaller without scrimping on features or battery life. The DJI Mic 3 is half the size and weight of its Mic 2 predecessor and introduces new capabilities, including two adaptive gain control modes, three voice tone presets, and a sizable increase in storage capacity for internal recordings.

Lost Android phones will soon greet finders with a new warning screen (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR A redesigned warning screen for Google’s Find Hub is being tested. This new screen now clearly indicates the phone is lost or stolen and has been locked with Find Hub. As part of the redesign, we also see bigger buttons to call the owner or contact emergency services. Back in May this year, Google renamed Find My Device, the app that lets you track and locate your phone, smart tags, or audio accessories if you can’t find them, to Find Hub. Over the fo

Poll: Just how round do you like the corners on your smartphone?

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Shopping for a new smartphone can be an intensely personal experience, and with dozens of fantastic phones to choose from across the landscape, not everyone’s going to have the same feelings about them all. While we absolutely prioritize things like performance, features, and pricing when evaluating which phone we want to buy next, we don’t talk nearly as much about another still-very-important consideration: how the phone feels in your hand. Even if you like

Google says it’s easier to switch from iPhone to Pixel 10, but is it really? We tried it out

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Apple iPhone owners can now use the Pixel Head Start Tool to prepare their data for a switch to a Pixel 10 series phone. The feature lets you prepare your iPhone’s passwords and photos for transfer before the Pixel 10 device arrives. However, this doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade over previous transfer solutions. Google launched the Pixel 10 series last week, and the company says it’s streamlined the process of switching from an iPhone to a Pixel 10 s

Here’s exactly what went wrong with the Sony Xperia 1 VII

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Sony has shared more details about what was causing the Xperia 1 VII to shut down, restart, or fail to power on. Some Xperia 1 VII units experienced motherboard defects due to exposure to temperature and humidity. Sony has now resumed sales of its latest smartphone in the European and Japanese markets. Sony launched its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 VII, back in May. Unfortunately, the initial feedback on the smartphone was not what Sony had

I did not expect these Sony headphones to set such a high bar for immersive audio

Sony InZone H9 II ZDNET's key takeaways Sony's InZone H9 II headset is available now for $349. Their 360-degree spatial sound allows for immersive audio (especially for FPS games) while the detachable mic turns them into a great pair of everyday headphones.

A foldable iPhone in 2025? Probably not, but these 5 rumors bring the hype

When unfolded, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures at just 4.2mm thick. Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The iPhone Fold could come close to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 in terms of thickness. Apple's first foldable iPhone might bring Touch ID back to iPhones. It is rumored to sport a smaller display than the iPhone 16. Apple is reportedly set to launch its first-ever foldable iPhone in 2026. Ahead of the big iPhone 17 launch, more d

I compared a standard Wi-Fi router with a mesh setup - here's which one I recommend

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. With the adoption of remote and hybrid working, having a reliable internet connection at home is imperative -- not just for one device, but for several. If you have a family, maybe even dozens. So what's better, one single access point, or a mesh network spread about the home? The answer depends on how your home and office are set up and what kind of connection you need. Wi-Fi routers are so good these days that a single a

Apple's iPhone 17 Air Might Give Us Hints About Its Rumored Foldable

Anticipation is high for the launch of the next iPhone -- which could be unveiled during Apple's Sept. 9 event -- and so are expectations. Rumors have been swirling for months about the upcoming lineup, which most notably may include a thinner model dubbed the iPhone 17 Air. But speculation isn't stopping there; what Apple reveals this fall could hint at what it has in store for next year, too. Thin phones are undoubtedly having a moment, with companies like Samsung, Huawei, Honor and Oppo deb

iPhone Gaming Is Challenging. Here's What the iPhone 17 Needs to Make It Easier

I've been trying to use my iPhone as a portable gaming machine for years, but I often hit the same roadblocks when trying to have it replace my Nintendo Switch when I travel. And it's not for lack of Apple and other companies putting in the effort, as there are tons of games available for the iPhone, between titles that run directly from the device to more-intensive games that I can stream over a strong internet connection. Gaming on the iPhone is more convoluted than it should be, and it's fra

I installed the Pixel 10’s Daily Hub on a Samsung phone, and here’s the proof

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 family’s Daily Hub feature can be sideloaded on phones from other manufacturers. We sideloaded the app on Samsung and vivo phones, and it generally worked as expected. Daily Hub is effectively Google’s take on Samsung’s Now Brief. The Pixel 10 phones have a Daily Hub feature, which is basically Google’s attempt at the Samsung Now Brief feature. This dedicated screen displays calendar info, suggested videos, and a few other recommend

Huge Number of Authors Stand to Get Paid After Anthropic Agrees to Settle Potentially $1 Trillion Lawsuit

As OpenAI's ChatGPT and its imitators exploded onto the world stage over the past few years, they kicked off a series of legal showdowns that are still working their way through the courts. The New York Times is suing OpenAI. Disney is suing Midjourney. And in a class action case representing potentially millions of writers, book authors are suing Anthropic. All these cases are orbiting around a central question: what do the creators of modern AI systems — which are trained by ingesting vast a

Nothing used stock photography in Phone 3 on-device ad (Updated: Explanation)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Nothing Phone 3 retail demo was spotted making misleading claims about photo samples. Android Authority has spoken to two of the photographers who shot the pics, who confirm they did not use the Phone 3 at all.
