Cameras lead the list of features people look for when choosing a new smartphone. Every pro-level phone distinguishes itself with more cameras, more resolution and more zoom. But when the goal is to create one of the thinnest phones on the market, bulky cameras are easy targets for chucking aside. And yet the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge includes a surprising 200 megapixel (MP) f/1.7 wide camera that shares the same specs as the one in Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra. In fact, you could argue that th

A hot potato: As if we didn't already know how much CEOs love the job-cutting, cost-slashing, investor-pleasing benefits of AI, chief executives are now using the technology to create avatars of themselves in earnings calls. Klarna's CEO recently did it, and now Zoom CEO Eric Yuan has followed suit. Yuan used an AI avatar of himself via Zoom Clips, the company's asynchronous video creation tool.

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is testing a 200MP camera sensor, according to a veteran leaker. This will likely be used for the main camera rather than as a zoom camera sensor. Apple would be following in Android OEMs’ footsteps by adopting this tech. Samsung was among the first smartphone makers to adopt a 200MP camera, marking the next step in the megapixel war. We’ve since seen more brands adopting this high-resolution sensor for their main and telephoto sensors. Now, it soun

There are oh, so many strange things about the new Galaxy S25 Edge. Yes, it’s thin, and yes, it’s made from a durable mix of titanium and top-tier Gorilla Glass, but once you get past that, I am simply confused. It has a small battery that’s not silicon-carbon, slow charging with no magnetic ring for Qi2 accessories (shocker), and, wait for it, only two cameras. That’s one fewer camera than the standard Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus carry, and half the number of the top-tier Galaxy S25 Ultra. The last

In Brief CEOs are now so immersed in AI, they’re sending their avatars to address quarterly earnings calls instead of themselves, at least partially. After the Klarna CEO’s AI avatar appeared on an investor call earlier this week, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan followed suit, also using his avatar for initial comments. Yuan deployed his custom avatar via Zoom Clips, the company’s asynchronous video creation tool. “I am proud to be among the first CEOs to use an avatar in an earnings call,” he — or rather

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Google and Samsung frequently top our lists of the best camera phones on the market, and I can understand why. A big reason for this is that they both have great camera apps, offering distinctive designs, mostly consistent image quality, and a variety of modes. However, after using recent vivo phones like the X200 Ultra and X200 Pro, I realized there’s one very useful UI choice that I’d love to see on my Pixel and Galaxy phones, and that would be more powerful

I have never wanted to slap a case on a phone more, but that would defeat the whole purpose. I'm holding the $1,100 Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge as I stand outside my apartment, waiting for an Uber. It's the first time I've taken the super-slim phone beyond the confines of my home and into a world of rough pavement. I tighten my grip.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has suggested that a next-generation OPPO phone could adopt a 200MP periscope camera and a 50MP 10x camera. If confirmed, this would make for the most impressive zoom camera hardware on a smartphone. The last phone with a 10x periscope camera was 2023’s Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung made a splash with 2021’s Galaxy S21 Ultra, being among the first phone makers to offer a 10x periscope camera. We haven’t seen a phone with a 10x camera in a few years,

I spent at least two or three years begging Motorola to bring a telephoto sensor to its revamped Razr series. I felt like I spent long enough complaining about the zoom capabilities (or lack thereof) on flip phones that a dedicated sensor was the only way forward. Then, Motorola listened. It loaded the Razr Plus (2024) with a 2x optical sensor for Super Zoom up to 30x. For a second, I had everything I wanted. Then, I realized that the grass wasn’t greener.
