It won’t be a limited-edition phone but a prototype Smart Outfit case that adds an electromagnetic liquid ferrofluid on the back as a nod to the Venom symbiote from the Marvel franchise. Once attached to the HMD Fusion, the Venom Smart Outfit will apply a custom theme, wallpapers which you can download from HMD’s press release here, and Venom alert sounds.

They are mostly identical to the Z-series, except with some design mods that make them more attractive to local buyers, a fancy retail box to account for the high price and, usually, more RAM and storage than the Z-models. The upcoming Samsung W25 will be a little more special – it will be based on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition that is currently available only in South Korea. This means larger cover and internal displays (6.5” and 8.0” vs. 6.3” and 7.6” on the regular Z Fold6), but without S Pen...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The Indonesian government has effectively banned the sale and use of iPhone 16 series and Apple Watch 10 series devices in the country. The ban is a direct result of Apple's unmet investment commitments in the country, as Cupertino had previously pledged to invest upwards of IDR 1.71 trillion ($109 million) in local R&D facilities. If there is an iPhone 16 that can operate in Indonesia, that means that I can say the device is illegal. Do report it to us." - Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, Indonesia Industry Minister As per the latest figures, Apple has invested IDR 1.48 trillion ($95...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung finally unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. It alleviates several pain points from the Z Fold6 with larger displays, a slimmer profile, and a 200MP main cam. It also has larger displays - a 6.5-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X cover screen and an 8-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X folding one.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Things are heating up in the flagship space as Oppo unveiled the Find X8 series. These are flagships with a special focus on the camera (with help from Hasselblad). This year there is even a camera shutter key and the Alert slider is back (both on the Pro model only). The Oppo Find X8 Pro is not a direct sequel to the Find X7 Ultra (an X8 Ultra might arrive later on). So, instead of a curved display, it has an almost flat micro-quad-curved 6.78” LTPO panel (1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit colors). It is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset and an enormous 5,910mAh battery (with 80W wired and 50W...

The phone received an overwhelmingly positive response that could become even more positive, if the mini passes reviews with flying colors.
