The Ergo Sleeve is a laptop sleeve that unfolds into a portable ergonomic workstation, combining a laptop stand, wrist support and workspace organization into one slim design.

The CMF Phone 3 concept introduces a side-mounted accessory point that looks like a strap or handle attachment, signaling an interesting direction: expanding modularity beyond the back plate and into the frame itself.

Phone cases should be fun and protective, with a range of options from ultra-thin to rugged, but most users prefer something in between.

The vivo X300 FE will include a telephoto extender kit in India, featuring a 200mm teleconverter lens that offers 2.35x extended optical zoom, similar to the vivo X300 Pro's kit.

Once you attach your MagSafe- or Pixelsnap-ready phone to the top plate, pressing a button along its top edge satisfyingly pops your phone up to reveal a full suite of controls, including TMR sticks made by GameSir.

Introduced yesterday, Photoshoot uses Google's powerful generative AI tools, including Nano Banana, to create "professional" images of a product. Users simply click on 'Create a Product Photoshoot' and upload a photo of their product. It can be any photo, no matter how bad. "Don't worry about polish - we'll take care of it," Google says facetiously. From that user-generated image, Photoshoot will create various shot templates, including 'Studio', 'Floating', 'Ingredient', and 'In use'.

Ulefone's RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro tries to close that split by putting a detachable magnetic action camera directly on the back of the phone, so both jobs start from one object. The module snaps onto the rear chassis magnetically, drawing obvious design inspiration from the Insta360 GO series, and peels off into a fully independent wearable.

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.

The OnePlus 15R shows up as "coming soon" on Amazon, though it should switch to "available" soon. This year's R-model brings a massive battery - 7,400mAh vs. 6,000mAh on the 13R - along with improved water resistance (IP68/IP69K vs. IP65). It also features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (non-Elite), up from the two-year-old Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. There have been some downgrades, however. First, the telephoto camera is gone, while the main camera (50MP 1/1.56", OIS) and ultra-wide camera (8MP) are the same.

In recent years, smartphone photography has become increasingly dominated by software. Computational imaging, AI processing, and post-capture optimisation now play a central role in how images are produced. Yet as these techniques become more widespread, camera hardware is once again emerging as a key differentiator. The REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G Series reflects this shift clearly, placing renewed emphasis on sensor capability and optical fundamentals rather than relying solely on software to define image quality.

Previous leaks have hinted at a dual-lens design with a secondary zoom camera, akin to a recent Insta360 leak and more crucially, the dual camera systems on some of DJI's drones. However, this latest leaked short hands-on video shows a very familiar design with a single lens, but still some notable changes here and there. That dual-lens design might still become a reality as a Pocket 4 Pro.

The Snapseed camera defaults to an automatic mode, but also includes optional controls for ISO, shutter speed, and focus, along with flash and zoom. It allows you to shoot using saved looks and edit stacks from the app, which can be altered after the shot is taken, along with a range of preset film effects inspired by specific films from Kodak, Fujifilm, and more. There's even a handful of UI color themes to pick from too.

Confession time: I'm not much of a moviemaker. I try. I strap action cameras to my bike handlebars all the time. And I have hours of GoPro footage I shot living in a vintage RV for years. All these clips sit, unused, collecting dust on external hard drives. I just haven't figured out how to tell stories with video, so the footage sits, waiting for me to learn.

Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra wasn't the first phone to feature a periscopic telephoto lens - both Huawei and Oppo beat the Korean company to it - but it was the first in the US to make such a big deal about it. Almost all of Samsung's marketing for the S20 Ultra centered on its so-called Space Zoom, its 5x optical folded periscope lens, capable of digitally zooming much further.
