The fix, he told me, was temporary - he didn't have the right part and couldn't get it. This experience revealed a broader shift in how modern products are designed, sold, and owned - one that increasingly treats repair as optional and replacement as inevitable.

Samsung Galaxy S26 cases are essential for protection, with options ranging from rugged and durable cases to razor-thin minimalist options that cater to different user preferences.

The Galaxy A37 shares a lot of its core specs with the A57, but is €100/$100 cheaper, which isn't insignificant.

Ken Pillonel, a freelance hardware prototyping consultant, designed a case that adds a Lightning port to the iPhone 17 Pro, allowing users to charge with existing Lightning cables.

Approximately 10 out of the 100 employees under his leadership had reportedly sought extended leaves of absence for mental health concerns since 2022.

The source hints at a 7.6-inch internal display, probably in a 4:3 aspect ratio that will resemble a tablet when unfolded and facilitate easier multitasking, document work and the like. The obvious drawback is an extra-wide form factor while folded, making it potentially difficult to handle with one hand.

2025 was a big year for Samsung in foldable phones. It redesigned the to become the lightest book-style folding phone of the year, and unveiled the then-new, two-hinged Galaxy Z TriFold. It appears that the Korean electronics maker is returning to its era of hardware innovation and won't stop anytime soon. A new report by ET News claims that Samsung is developing a million units of a wide-screen Galaxy Fold, which will differ from all existing Galaxy foldable phones.

According to a report by DealSite, Samsung will be incorporating new display technology into its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold8 foldable this summer. This will allow it to decrease the visible crease by around 20%, although we are not sure how one can measure crease visibility reliably enough. The company will reportedly use UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) not only for the display's top layer, but also for the bottom end.

Just as previous rumors have suggested, the iPhone Fold will bring a similar design to Google's first-gen Pixel Fold with a wide cover screen. The front panel is rumored to come in at 5.5 inches, and it features a single punch hole cutout up top for the selfie camera. Based on speculation, it will go for a 4:3 aspect ratio, making it more usable than the square-ish aspects of most current book foldables.

Samsung Display showcased a new foldable OLED panel at CES that doesn't have a visible crease - something that currently blights every foldable phone on the market. This could be our first look at the panel used in the next generation of Samsung's Galaxy foldables and even the folding iPhone, given that Samsung Display is a long-time provider for Apple.

When folded, it's roughly the size of the Mini, maybe even smaller depending on how thick the hinge is. When unfolded, you get a full 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch display, same as the regular iPhone or Pro Max. The people who loved the Mini weren't asking for a smaller screen, they were asking for a phone that didn't dominate their pocket or require two hands for basic tasks. A clamshell gives them that portability without forcing them to squint at a 5.4-inch display.
