5 things I’ll miss the most when I ditch my Google Pixel phone

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority I first dabbled with Pixel phones when I received 2019’s Pixel 4, but I fully committed to the brand when I bought my Pixel 7 Pro in 2022. Unfortunately, I’ve already decided that I won’t be buying another Pixel phone for a multitude of reasons. Despite my refusal to get another Pixel phone anytime soon, there are definitely some Pixel-exclusive features I’ll miss when I switch to my next smartphone. Call Screening and other call features don’t make my list, a

I ditched my phone for this E Ink handset for two weeks - here's my buying advice now

ZDNET's key takeaways The Mudita Kompakt is available now for $439. The E Ink display is easy on the eyes, the battery lasts for days, and it satisfies the minimalist intention with far fewer distractions. The camera is unnecessary, there is no voice-to-text, and the display is too small to be an effective eBook reader. View now at Mudita Since I started covering mobile phones 20 years ago, I've watched them transform from simple devices to having an all-encompassing impact on our lives. It's

Trump Mobile Math Doesn't Add Up: We Found Better Phone Plan Deals

When the Trump Organization announced its upcoming gold-hued T1 phone, it threw up a number of red flags for us. There was the poorly Photoshopped image along with technical claims that didn’t add up -- including the boast that the phone would be “designed and built in the United States.” (That claim has since been walked back, without explanation.) The phone was originally expected to launch in September 2025, but there’s currently no confirmed release date. To run the T1 phone, the organizati

JPMorgan cuts Apple stock price target on soft iPhone 17 outlook and delayed AI payoff

Apple’s stock took a minor confidence hit today, as JPMorgan lowered its price target, though the firm kept its overall rating intact. The adjustment comes as analyst Samik Chatterjee and his team dial back expectations for Apple’s medium-term revenue and earnings, citing weakening demand drivers tied to the upcoming iPhone 17 cycle. Here are the details. A 4.17% reduction, but with no change in rating Chatterjee cut his 12-month price target for AAPL from $240 to $230, citing weaker iPhone 1

Nothing's First Stab at Over-Ear Headphones Leak and They Look Appropriately Odd

Nothing's first pair of headphones has apparently leaked, and it's nearly impossible to assume they could have been designed by any other company. The over-ear headphones look to have more personality than most popular options on the market, and, well, that's very on-brand for Nothing. The company is good at making statement pieces, and has done so with its phones since the beginning. Whether you like the retro-futuristic styling of its products or not is largely a personal preference, but no o

Delta’s creator built a full-featured Game Boy Camera app for the iPhone

Developer Riley Testut, best known for the Delta emulator, is back with another nostalgia-powered app for iOS: Delta Camera, which turns your iPhone into the classic Game Boy Camera.

The best phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

If the phone launches during the first half of 2025 are anything to go by, we're in for a wild ride to end the year. The OnePlus 13 set the tone early, followed by the Galaxy S25 series and, more recently, the Motorola Razr foldable phone lineup.

This BlackBerry Ripoff Is My Only Hope at Feeling Young Again

I love my phone. Guys, no… I love my phone so much. I hate that I love my phone, but I love it nonetheless. I love my phone so much that I spend all day typing stupid little words into its stupid little screen and waiting for stupid little responses. I love my phone, but it does not love me, especially when it comes to typing. I’m so bad at typing. If there were a contest to try and fail to type the least amount of words in the most amount of attempts, I’d win the triple crown platinum all-time

New fear unlocked: Your brand-new phone could turn into this moldy mess

TL;DR Porous materials, including some leather substitutes, are susceptible to getting damp and harboring the growth of mold. The new POCO X7 PRO features one colorway that includes just such an eco-leather panel on the handset’s rear. Over on Reddit, one new X7 PRO owner has shared a pic that appears to show mold taking over the leather. You don’t need to be a Last of Us fan to have a healthy fear of fungus, and anyone who’s ever lived in a home infested with black mold can attest to how tra

The Website for Trump’s All-American Smartphone No Longer Promises It’s ‘MADE IN THE USA’

Earlier this month, the Trump Organization revealed its latest profit-making scheme: the T1, a golden iPhone knockoff that has aptly been dubbed the “Trump phone.” Alongside the new device, the Trumps launched a wireless mobile network called T1 Mobile, which purports to offer unlimited talk, text, and data. Given that Trump is the “America First” president, it was very on-brand for the company to promise that the devices would be manufactured domestically. Given that manufacturing a functioning

What Makes a Phone Ethical? I Talked With Someone Who Builds One to Find Out

Fairphone is a David among Goliaths in the phone world. We're talking about a tiny Dutch social enterprise that shipped just over 100,000 phones in 2023, versus tech giants such as Apple and Samsung, which routinely ship hundreds of millions of phones annually. On Wednesday, Fairphone CEO Raymond van Eck unveiled the latest device, the sixth generation, in its family of phones. Intended to be known simply as the Fairphone (but in reality more likely to be referred to as the Fairphone 6), this m

Due to a Price Agreement with Samsung, Amazon Can’t Publicly Show the Huge Galaxy S25+ Discount

Amazon typically has deals with major brands such that they do not destroy the luxury brand image by offering massive discounts. That means technically, you can have a “hidden price” on the product page and you will only see the real discount if you add the product to your cart. This is exactly the situation with the Galaxy S25+, the clear best-seller among the S25 series. The Galaxy S25+ has come out earlier this year and is now at a record-low price, way below that on Samsung’s own website. C

Trump Phone website trades ‘Made in the USA’ claim for patriotic vibes

TL;DR Trump Mobile has removed its “Made in the USA” claim from the T1 Phone product page.

As The Verge spotted, the banner that

After a week, Trump Mobile drops claim that Trump phone is “made in the USA”

The Trump phone was announced last week with a claim that the device would be made entirely in America, and people were rightly skeptical.
