Last week a sketchy rumor - and, for what it's worth, we did warn you about its sketchiness right from the get-go - claimed Oppo and vivo would be completely giving up on the foldable market, due to significantly lower sales in 2023. It seemed like an odd move, especially after pouring so much money into investing in foldable tech, but - stranger things have happened in the mobile world.This, however, isn't. Happening, that is. At least when it comes to Oppo. The company reached out to us to deny the aforementioned rumor, and assure us that its commitment to the development of future...

It even boasts a 5,160mAh battery with super fast 120W charging (1-50% in 111 minutes). Looking a bit closer, you see that is indeed a mid-ranger.

A second report has surfaced, pointing to a thinner Galaxy Z Fold6. According to Chun Bhai on X, citing sources, the Galaxy Z Fold6 will be much thinner and lighter, and exactly 11mm when folded.

The report continues by saying that the Galaxy Z Fold6 won't have an S Pen slot, it will be wider and have Galaxy S24 Ultra-styled edges. There will be three cameras, which Yogesh Brar suggests are the same-sounding 50MP wide, 10MP zoom,...
