Amazon Prime Day sale: Marshall's Major V headphones are worth it even at full price, but right now they're at an all-time low price of $100 -- or around 38% off -- during Prime Day.

Samsung Plans to Launch a Trifold Phone This Year, Says Executive

While Samsung has been showing off mobile display concepts with three screens at trade events like CES for several years, it looks like it's finally bringing one to market.

Android Auto not connecting? Try this one setting tweak - it worked for me

Google / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A few months ago, I bought into the Jeep cult. One bit of fanciness with this vehicle is its ability to connect to Android Auto. I was excited because I'd never owned a car that could connect to my Android phone and actually make use of it. Of course, the biggest reason I wanted to use Android Auto was for the Spotify connection. My previous auto would allow me to connect my phone, but I had to control the music from the phone itself, which I wouldn't do w

Apple trade-in values cut for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch

Apple trade-in values have been cut for most models of iPhone, all Macs, several Apple Watches, and one iPad. Additionally, there are two older Apple products the company will no longer accept as trade-in against a new one, making them officially worthless … While Apple trade-ins represent very poor value compared to selling privately or using third-party resellers, some people prefer the ease and convenience of just taking their old device into an Apple Store when buying a new one.

Sony Xperia 1 VII units in more regions are dying, but there’s a temporary solution

Sony TL;DR Sony has acknowledged that the random reboot and shutdown issues with its flagship Xperia 1 VII smartphone also impacts users in Europe and the UK. It is currently investigating the issue but has yet to identify the root cause. It recommends that the owners of these handsets update their phones to the latest firmware and keep their data backed up. Unless you’re a millennial or someone older, you probably don’t associate Sony with the business of making phones. Despite its negligib

Samsung plans to launch its trifold smartphone by the end of 2025

In January Samsung teased an all new Galaxy Z trifold device, but no mention of it was made during its Unpacked event yesterday. However, the company now says that does indeed plan to release a smartphone with three displays by the end of 2025, acting head of device experience TM Roh told The Korea Times. "We are working hard on a trifold smartphone with the goal of launching it at the end of this year," said Roh. "We are now focusing on perfecting the product and its usability, but we have not

I changed 10 Samsung phone settings to significantly improve the user experience

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin right now. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box. You need to personalize your smartphone to make it more appealing. I change almost a dozen settings on every Samsung Galaxy phone to best suit my needs, and I believe these will elevate your user experience, too.

Samsung’s Z Flip Won’t Be Perfect Until It’s as Thin as the Z Fold 7

Samsung's flip-style foldable phone is so close to perfection. Despite the new look, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a far-too-similar foldable to the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The new clamshell phone has a larger exterior screen that integrates (with a heavy sigh) Google Gemini, but compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Z Flip 7 is still thick enough that it will protrude like a bony crag from any user’s thin pockets. I understand why Samsung places so much emphasis on its expensive flagships, but the fact is th

Google Phone app has more Material 3 Expressive changes in the works (APK teardown)

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google has already rolled out many Material 3 Expressive changes to the Google Phone app, but more changes are in the pipeline. Within the app, the Keypad will likely get its own permanent tab replacing Contacts, while Recents will be renamed Home. There will be a new sidebar that replaces the three-dot menu.

How to clear your iPhone cache (and why it greatly improves the performance)

What is cache? Cache -- or browser cache -- is the temporary storage of website files. So, things like images, scripts, and cookies that your browser saves on your phone to make pages load faster the next time you visit. Also: Every iPhone model that can be updated to iOS 26 (and which ones don't support it) Over time, though, those files can add up, taking a large bite out of your device storage and slowing things down. That's why it's smart to clear your browser cache regularly. In this art

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Z Fold 6: I tried both phones, and the difference is dramatic

Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is arguably the biggest upgrade to its foldable phone lineup in years. In fact, it is the lightest book-style foldable available on the market right now. I went hands-on with the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, and this is the Samsung upgrade I've waited years for. The device is thin, light, and has a wider coverscreen, one that's closer to a slab phone's aspect ratio. Also: Everything announced at Samsung Unpacked: Galaxy
