Galaxy Z Fold6 will have the same cameras as the Fold5, an Ultra could bring upgrades

Ice Universe' latest report paints an underwhelming Galaxy Z Fold6 picture. According to the insider, the Galaxy Z Fold6 will retain the exact same cameras as the Galaxy Z Fold5.

That means a 50 MP 1/1.56" ISOCELL GN3 wide angle camera will be joined by 10 MP 1/3.94" 3x zoom and 12 MP 1/3.06" ultrawide shooters. A 10 MP 1/3" punch hole selfie, and a 16MP 1/3" under-display selfie camera complete the list.

However, he shares that a Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra may bring an upgrade, a subtle hint that the more premium version of the foldable is indeed coming alongside the Z Fold6.

Apple thinks 128GB is "lots of storage"

Apple's iPhone 15 starts at 128GB of built-in storage, a chunk of which is of course taken up by iOS and the preinstalled apps. In 2024, you may think that's not really sufficient, or at least not a lot. But Apple begs to differ.

The company says the iPhone 15, which, again, starts at 128GB, has "lots of storage for lots of photos" in the description for its newest video ad. Let's watch the ad together below.

It's definitely got a catchy soundtrack, and the idea is pretty cool, and it's definitely well executed - we can't fault the ad for any of those things. It's just the premise...

The cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6 version might cost way less than you were expecting

For a while now Samsung has been rumored to shake up the foldable smartphone market this year by launching a cheaper version of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6 alongside that device - most likely in early to mid July.

This cheaper version of the foldable now has a rumored price tag, and it's shockingly good: under $800. That's less than half what the Fold5 started at. You should probably read that as $799, and don't forget that $799 could translate into €919 or something like that across the pond, but still - for a book-like foldable, this is incredibly impressive and could indeed catapult the...

Motorola Edge 50 Pro to come with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, launch date leaks

Motorola is preparing to launch its next flagship, Edge 50 Pro, which will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. The announcement comes from the company's Chiense branch, which confirmed the chipset for the X50 Ultra, which is going to be the local name for the Pro.

The phone also appeared in multiple video leaks and teasers, revealing an April 3 launch in India, a date which we told you about before.

Top 10 trending phones of week 11

After the Galaxy S24 Ultra dominated our trending chart in the first two months of 2024, March has seen new leaders every week. This time around it's the newly announced Galaxy A series members' turn to stand at the top.

Redmi Note 13 Pro ended up fourth, ahead of the Galaxy A54, which retained its fifth position from last week.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. Samsung Galaxy S24+

There is no uncertainty in our minds that the S24 Ultra is the ultimate Galaxy - that is, if we exclude the Fold from the conversation so as not to complicate things. But does everyone need the ultimate Galaxy? Perhaps the more ordinary Plus is all the Galaxy you'd ever have any use for, and spending the premium for an Ultra isn't entirely warranted. With that in mind, we set off to find out how the two stack up, hopefully saving you some money in the process - or, alternatively, convincing you to go Ultra.

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (2a) shows great promise, but good reviews are vital

Last week’s poll shows that people are excited for and dubious of Nothing’s first mid-ranger in equal measure – half of voters are interested in the Nothing Phone (2a), but there is an even split between them. Half like what they see and are ready to press the “buy” button, the other half need proof that this phone is as good as it looks.

The phone was strong out of the gate, selling 60K units in 60 minutes immediately after it launched, a number that grew to 100K by the end of the first day. But Nothing knows how to generate buzz, the real question is whether the selling frenzy will...
