is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor. Honor has announced the Magic V5, which it says is the thinnest foldable phone in the world right now — though only if you ignore the raised camera module, and only for its white version. The phone launches today in China, but Honor says an international release is coming “soon.” At 8.8mm thick when folded shut, the V5 is indeed impressively thin, and beats the 8.9mm Oppo Fi

Why the most exciting Android phone this year isn't made by Samsung or Google

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2026-02-17 12:00:24

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Nothing's new flagship phone is its most expensive and risky product yet. At $799, the Nothing Phone 3 no longer undercuts its midrange competitors. Instead, the handset takes on the likes of the iPhone Pro, Pixel Pro, and Galaxy S phones of the world with a striking design, functional AI features, and fine software tuning.

My biggest Z Fold 6 regrets after a year - and what Samsung must fix for the Fold 7

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2026-02-17 14:00:18

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one. While the cover screen has grown over time, the overall candy bar-style form factor has remained mostly untouched. While brands like Honor, Vivo, and Google have released slimmer foldables, Samsung has stuck to steady, incremental upgrades, resulting in a sturdy hinge that holds at almost any angle and polished software for productivity.

The company bills its new Nothing Phone 3 as a "true flagship" device, but it doesn't have the absolute best hardware you can get in a mobile device. Neither does it have the highest price, clocking in at a mere $799. That's shaping up to be a good value, but it's also the highest price yet for a Nothing phone.
