Deals: Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 go on pre-order, CMF Phone 1 tackles Android mid-rangers

Samsung’s new foldables are on pre-order now and will be released on July 19. Amazon has interesting bundles, for example, you can get the Galaxy Z Fold6 (256GB) paired with the Galaxy Watch Ultra for £2,160. Considering the phone’s usual price is £1,800, this gets you the flagship watch for £360 – and not its usual £600 price.

Another interesting pairing is the Z Fold6 with the Galaxy Buds3 – somehow, this costs £1,763, which is less than the price of just the phone. If you prefer the Galaxy Buds3 Pro instead, that bundle is £1,817.

Nothing sells 100,000 CMF Phone 1 units in three hours

Nothing unveiled the CMF Phone 1 this past Monday, and the phone went on sale earlier today. The company is now happily reporting that it managed to sell over 100,000 units in the first three hours of availability.

For context, the Nothing Phone (2a), which launched back in March, needed 24 hours to reach the same sales figure, so one could say that the CMF Phone 1 is selling eight times faster.

To celebrate the occasion, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis said:

Following the incredible success of Phone (2a) in March, CMF Phone 1 is a breath of fresh air in a stagnating value...

Today Chase Xu, Realme's VP and President of Global Marketing for the brand has taken to X to unbox the Realme 13 Pro+ on video. This is undoubtedly the world's very first unboxing of the phone.

Xu highlights the design, saying it really does look like a piece of art, which makes sense when you consider that it's been inspired by works by the French painter Oscar-Claude Monet. In fact, two of the three colorways are even named after him: Monet...

Bixby will get a generative AI infusion this year, Samsung confirms

Bixby still exists. In other news, Samsung Mobile Division President TM Roh has confirmed that Bixby will be getting a generative AI infusion later this year. The Korean company's assistant will use its own large language models, so this won't be achieved through a partnership with Google or OpenAI, at least not initially.

Roh also confirmed that Samsung will continue to allow multiple voice assistants on its devices, so presumably you will be able to have both the AI-ified Bixby as well as the Google Gemini replacement for the Google Assistant. Of course you can also download the ChatGPT...
