The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra represents a new standard of flagship with its introduction of the "Flex Magic Pixel" privacy display, which prevents side-angle viewing for secure working on the go. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and featuring a significantly brighter f/1.4 main aperture, it remains the ultimate tool for power users and mobile photographers.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the thinnest foldable in Galaxy history, measuring just 8.9mm when closed. It finally bridges the gap between foldables and ultras by incorporating the 200MP ProVisual camera and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, all while adopting a more natural 21:9 aspect ratio on the cover display.
The Google Pixel Fold introduces a unique "passport" form factor to the foldable market, which feels like a throwback to the Microsoft Surface Duo. Google's first foldable features a wide 5.8-inch cover display for a natural smartphone experience and unfolding to a 7.6-inch workspace, it combines Google's signature Tensor G2 processing with a pro-grade triple camera system.
The Microsoft Surface Duo is a dual-screen productivity powerhouse that challenged the foldable status quo. Eschewing flexible glass for two independent 5.6-inch PixelSense displays joined by a revolutionary 360-degree hinge, it offers a "book-like" experience optimized for multitasking and Microsoft 360 integration.
Samsung recently released the Galaxy S10e alongside the other Galaxy S10 lineup, as a direct competitor to the Apple iPhone XR. Just like Apple did with the iPhone XR, Samsung has given its "cheaper" variant some of the best features of its higher-end flagships, while reserving some premium features for its higher price point devices. Both handsets are priced equally at launch. So which one is better?

SIZE & HANDS-ON
The larger 6.1-inch display on the iPhone XR makes it slightly bigger than the Galaxy S10e with its 5.8-inch display. Samsung's budget flagship is also thinner and lighter. While some may prefer the larger display size, others may lean toward the smaller dimensions of the Galaxy S10e for easier one-handed use.
NOTCH VS. INFINITY-O
Samsung has introduces a screen cutout called "Infinity-O," essentially a hole punched into the display for the front camera. This allowed both Apple and Samsung to offer larger screen real-estate with slim bezels. Ideally, we hope that both the notch and the punch are interim steps on the path to actual full-display phones.
SCREEN RESOLUTION
The iPhone XR was criticized for its lower-resolution LCD display. Pure quality goes to Samsung, who outfitted the Galaxy S10e with a Full HD+ AMOLED panel and support for HDR10+ for superior picture quality.
STORAGE & EXPANSION
Samsung gives customers 128GB of storage on the base Galaxy S10e, compared to Apple's 64GB. Crucially, the Galaxy S10e also includes microSD storage expansion, which Apple's iPhones continue to lack.

After pushing out the latest version of Android for the original Nokia 6, HMD Global has announced that they are now releasing Android 9.0 Pie for the Nokia 2.1. As usual, the news comes from Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global via his Twitter page.
The Nokia 2.1 was announced back in 2018 running Android 8.1 Oreo Go edition. With the new Android 9 Pie (Go Edition), the Nokia 2.1 becomes one of the first Android Go Edition phones to get Pie update.
Android Go is a lightweight edition of Googles original Android OS designed for entry-level smartphones. It first launched under the Oreo OS, but Google has since released the Pie version of the Go OS, touting it as a more efficient version bringing additional storage, faster boot times, better security, among other things.
The Nokia 2.1 features a 5.5-inch display with a 720 by 1280 pixel resolution, 8GB of internal storage which can be expanded through microSD, an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, a 4000mAh battery and is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 425 processor with 1GB of RAM.
This leaves the Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 3.1, and Nokia 1 as the final few handsets in HMD's lineup to be updated to Android Pie. HMD is ambitiously hoping to have their entire lineup running Android Pie by the end of Q2 2019.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold is a pioneering foldable Android smartphone featuring a dual-display ecosystem.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is an Android smartphone featuring a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, up to 512GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, and a versatile triple-camera array. Powered by the Snapdragon 855 with 8GB of RAM, it remains a hallmark of Samsung's flagship evolution.

The Motorola Moto G6 Play is already the most affordable of the Moto G6 lineup, but Best Buy is sweetening the deal further by offering the handset for only $80. That's a massive $120 off its usual retail price.
While the handset itself is unlocked, you will have to activate it on Sprint immediately at Best Buy in order to get the low price. Customers could also opt to activate it with AT&T and Verizon, but doing so would bring the price up to $130.
If you don't want to activate the Moto G6 Play, and want to do so at a later time you would have to pay $180 for the handset at Best Buy, which is still a $20 discount.
The Motorola Moto G6 Play features a 5.7-inch display, 32GB of internal storage with microSD, a 13MP rear camera, an 8-megapixel front camera, a fingerprint scanner and a Snapdragon 427 chipset with 3GB of RAM. It comes with Android 8.0 Oreo onboard, but you will be able to update it to Android 9 Pie very soon.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold was officially unveiled today during the Samsung's Unpacked event today as the company's first smartphone with a foldable display. Customers will be able to use the Galaxy Fold in a traditional smartphone form factor and open it up to reveal the larger folded display. Design
In its traditional form, the Galaxy Fold features a 4.6-inch display on with an 840 x 1950 pixel resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio. This makes it rather compact and easy to use with a single hand. But you would notice it is slightly thicker than modern smartphones.
When you need more real-estate you can open the phone like a book to reveal its larger 7.3-inch display, which has a 1536 x 2152 pixel resolution and 4.2:3 aspect ratio. Samsung achieved this by developing a new polymer, which allows the inner display to be 50% thinner than any other screen out there. The usual front and rear of the phone are held together by the display and a powerful hinge.
Samsung claims that this hinge has been specially designed to withstand thousands of folds and unfolds and is made of multiple gears, which Samsung promises will close with a satisfying click.
A fingerprint scanner can be found on the right frame on the device.
The Galaxy Fold will launch in four different colors — Space Silver, Cosmos Black, Martian Green, and Astro Blue. Samsung is even giving customers the option to customize the Galaxy Fold in a combination of pre-set color and side accents to your liking.
Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy Fold is powered by Qualcomm's 7nm Snapdragon 855 chipset. There is 512GB of internal storage for your media and 12GB of RAM ensuring that this device will breeze through the most intense tasks.
The handset has been outfitted with two separate batteries on either side of the clamshell design. These batteries give the device a total capacity is 4,380 mAh. The Galaxy Fold is also capable of giving off charge via wireless PowerShare, which lets you place another device on top of it when you are charging it for quick dual charging action.
Camera
Samsung has outfitted the Galaxy Fold with a total of six cameras. On its rear, you have a triple camera setup, made up of a standard 12 MP camera with a variable aperture (F1.5 - F2.4), a 12 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and an F2.4 aperture, and a 16 MP ultra-wide-angle camera.
On the front of the device (in its closed form) you have a 10 MP selfie camera with an F2.2 aperture.
When you open the device you have another dual camera setup, which combines a 10MP, F2.2 sensor with an 8MP depth camera for portrait selfies.
Software
The Samsung Galaxy Fold will feature Samsung's One UI running on top of Android 9.0 Pie.
Samsung has customized One UI specifically for the Galaxy Fold with features like app continuity, which will allow apps to pick up on one display where you left off on the other. For example, when you want to browse Google Maps on a larger display, simply open up the Galaxy Fold and the app will seamlessly transition to the 7.3-inch display.
Samsung also allows for a total of three apps to be opened on the larger display. A main app on the left side and up to two apps in small windows on the right side.
Release and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Fold will be available for purchase on April 26th and will cost you $1920.
Customers in the US will be able to purchase the handset on AT&T and T-Mobile. It's currently unknown if Samsung will offer the Galaxy Fold on CDMA networks like Verizon or Sprint.
