Why Buy Flagship Phones if 'Budget' Phones Are Just as Good Now?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-04 00:00:09

The concept of a budget-friendly phone lost its meaning this week when Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE costs an eye-watering $900. It's similar in looks and ability to its premium-model sister phone, and it even has the same cameras. Earlier this year, Apple released its more budget-friendly iPhone 16E, which also got jeers for an higher-than-expected price of $600. It carries the same processor as the main iPhone 16, but lacks one rear camera. The cost of phones is expected to co

Welcome to Edition 8.02 of the Rocket Report! It's worth taking a moment to recognize an important anniversary in the history of human spaceflight next week.

Microsoft and OpenAI's AGI Fight Is Bigger Than a Contract

I first learned about The Clause from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During an interview with him in May 2023, I asked about the deal between Microsoft and OpenAI that granted his company exclusive access to the startup’s groundbreaking AI technology. I knew the contract had set a cap on how much profit Microsoft could make from the arrangement, and I asked him what would happen if and when that point was reached. The answer was a bit puzzling. “Fundamentally, their long-term idea is we get to su

All eyes on Samsung’s thin new foldable

It’s always felt to me like there’s a threshold foldables need to hit before they can truly become mainstream: they need to be no bigger than a regular old phone. And now Samsung has finally gotten its flagship there with the Z Fold 7, which is just barely thicker than an iPhone 16 Pro. I got to see one in the office this week, and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. It really does feel different.
