Earlier this year, we ran a poll on the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, the first commercially available tri-fold smartphone. The key takeaways from that were: 1) 26.4% said "I want a tri-foldable, but cheaper", 2) 22.1% said "I want a Mate XT Ultimate" and 3) 16.7% said "I want a tri-fold, but not from Huawei". This week Samsung may have delivered the answers to 1) and 3).

The 41mm version of the outstanding Google Pixel Watch 4 is 22% off at Amazon, bringing it to an all-time low price of just $350. The best-in-class display jumps out at you immediately, being 50% brighter than the previous model of the Pixel Watch, and its Gemini AI integration comes into play early and often to enhance the user experience.

A cheaper version of the Lucid Gravity electric SUV is finally available in the United States. The Gravity Touring starts from $79,900, which is $15,000 less than the Gravity Grand Touring that went on sale first. That's great news for everyone who is looking for a spacious and comfortable electric family SUV, but can't afford to spend $100,000 on a new car.

Following its launch in China, the OnePlus 15 is finally ready to hit the global stage. The keynote kicks off tomorrow at 8:30 EST/2:30 CET/7PM IST time and it will be livestreamed on YouTube. For those wondering if the global version of the OnePlus 15 will have any changes, don't! OnePlus confirmed it will be identical to the model launched in China, with the same 7,300 mAh Silicon NanoStack battery and 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.

We've been hearing a lot lately about the upcoming iQOO 15, the vivo sub-brand's next flagship device which is due to be fully unveiled later this month. But iQOO is also working on the Neo11 series, and today the brand has officially revealed what the 'vanilla' Neo11 looks like in the image you can see below. It comes with a very interesting backside as you can see, which is sort of reminiscent of the iQOO 15's color-changing back version, but not quite the same either.

The GT 8 Pro's battery will be upgraded from 6,500 mAh in the GT 7 Pro to 7,000 mAh, while retaining the super-fast 120W wired charging. This time around, the GT 8 Pro also features fast wireless charging, rated at 50W, and 10W reverse wireless charging. Bypass charging is also on the list of features. Realme also reminds us that the GT 8 Pro can play well with other non-proprietary charging standards.

The vehicle is based on the MD9 Electricity platform (tested over more than five million kilometers in diverse conditions from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, Temsa says). Powered by a TM4 265 kW electric motor and up to 384 kWh of liquid-cooled batteries, it can carry up to 75 passengers and achieve up to 600 kilometers of range depending on configuration.

The 6.3" 1-120Hz LTPO display on the front is similar enough to the previous model - it is brighter at 3,500 nits peak and has slimmer 1.18mm bezels, but the major upgrade this generation is the improved power efficiency. And then there is 2.7" display on the back (904 x 572px) with the same 3,500 nits peak brightness (it even has DC dimming and up to 120Hz refresh rate).

In addition to keeping my ears open to stay aware of my surroundings, the headset's behind-the-neck design keeps them securely attached, even if I'm performing an exercise or activity with extreme movements. The form factor also lends itself to long battery life, with the Suunto Wing 2 lasting up to 12 hours, and the included battery power bank providing another 24 hours. 10 minutes of charging provides up to three hours of listening.
