Deals: Pixel 9 series get discounts, Galaxy Z foldables still on pre-order

The Samsung Galaxy Z foldables went on pre-order last week and are now heading into their second week. Open sales will begin soon, but in the meantime, you can have a free storage upgrade.

Weekly poll: who wants a OnePlus Nord 5 or a Nord CE5?

OnePlus refreshed the Nord series with two interesting models – one brings the first Snapdragon 8-series chip to the Nord family, the other has the biggest battery of any OnePlus phone yet... kind of.

Weekly poll results: Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are great but pricey, Z Flip7 FE is a miss

Last week’s poll pinpointed price as the primary concern when people consider the new Galaxy Z foldables. They may have gotten slimmer, they may have gotten lighter, but they did not become cheaper. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 proved to be quite popular, though the people who are interested are split into two camps – those who can justify its price tag and those who can’t. And the latter is a slightly bigger group. Some are not happy with the hardware – the complaints mainly focused on the battery capacity and to an extent the charging speed – but that was a relatively small...

Some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 units are reportedly not opening completely flat

It seems Samsung might be in some hot water over a growing potential issue with the hinge on its Z Fold7. We've been keeping an eye out for developments and still can't quite decide whether the issue is a real cause for concern or not. Still, it is worth reporting. The facts we have so far are at least a couple of photos published on Reddit of what seem to be store demo units. Indeed, these appear not to be opening fully. That said, the poster does mention that they could "help it a bit", so it's more a case of the hinge not snapping properly than not opening. This might be due to a...
