https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/02/samsung-galaxy-z-fold6-first-renders/-184x111/gsmarena_001.jpg Earlier today, sources close to SamMobile stated that Samsung may hold its annual Unpacked event to unveil its foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6, in early July. Now, a separate source coming straight from South Korea also believes the event will be held in early to mid July.Alleged Galaxy Z Fold6 renderThe report says the Unpacked event will take place about two weeks earlier than last year, when it was held on July 26. That would give us a target around July 12. This new report also names Paris as the purported location. The company wants to time its launch before the...

It feels great in the hand with a nice brushed aluminum frame that folds completely flat. It’s a bit heavier than its key competitors at 214 grams but we don’t mind the extra heft as the...

Good thing that the Ultra flagship is launching globally, unlike the Pro.Looking at the results, a third of voters are ready to buy it right now and (if they are in Europe) they can do so as the phone is available on Xiaomi’s online stores.However, some need more convincing and are holding off until the reviews come out.

The company claimed it is the fastest phone in its $100 segment thanks to its chipset, which is Unisoc T616 with an octa-core CPU.

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/24/03/weekly-deals-29/-184x111/gsmarena_us.jpg Last week we looked at offers on unlocked Galaxy S24 flagships – the S24+ started at $850 and the S24 Ultra was $1,150. Those offers are still available, by the way, but they lacked the vanilla Galaxy S24. If you have your heart set on the smallest Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S24 starts at $750. Note that this is with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage (not 12/256GB like the other two). There’s no option for 12GB of RAM, but you could get 256GB storage for $810. But that’s just $50 less than a 12/256GB S24+. We found the same offer on Amazon and Best Buy, so pick the retailer you...
