Just days before Galaxy Unpacked, a fresh leak appears to reveal Samsung's next generation of foldable phones and smartwatches in official promotional images.

Rumors suggest Apple will unveil its first foldable iPhone in 2026, but the iPhone 18 Pro Max may still be the company's most important premium smartphone.

A new survey suggests most Samsung users would pay extra for a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra if it supports the S Pen, highlighting continued demand for the stylus on foldable devices.

Samsung regained its position as the world's leading smartphone maker in the second quarter of 2026, while Apple achieved its highest-ever market share despite a sharp global market downturn.

Apple's plan to diversify memory suppliers has reportedly hit a roadblock, increasing the likelihood that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will launch with a higher price amid rising component costs.

Apple may have little choice but to raise iPhone 18 Pro Max prices as production costs are expected to jump sharply, while an even more expensive foldable iPhone Ultra could test consumers' willingness to spend.

New leaks suggest Apple may give the iPhone 18 Pro Max its largest battery ever, even if it means making the flagship slightly thicker and heavier.

Motorola's upcoming Edge 70 Max packs flagship-level hardware and an enormous battery, but questions over its chipset and limited launch strategy could undermine its challenge to Apple's and Samsung's top smartphones.

Apple-authorized retailers across Vietnam have significantly reduced prices on several models in the iPhone 17 lineup, with the iPhone Air posting the steepest discount at nearly US$345.

Apple may have little choice but to raise the price of the iPhone 18 Pro Max as component costs surge, although the company could still earn less profit on each device than its predecessor.

Apple is reportedly stepping up preparations for its first foldable iPhone, widely referred to by industry observers as the iPhone Ultra, as the company races to meet an increasingly tight production schedule.

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to arrive in four colors, with leaked images and an online poll suggesting that a new purple finish could become the lineup's most popular option.

Samsung's rumored Galaxy S27 Pro could fill a gap in its flagship lineup, but using different processors across markets may undermine the "Pro" branding before the phone even launches.

Samsung's next flagship could feature a slightly larger battery, but rumors suggest it may still struggle to close the battery-life gap with Apple's latest iPhone.

Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max will rely on software optimization and a more efficient chip instead of dramatically increasing battery capacity.

The iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature a larger battery, upgraded camera and new 2nm chip, even if that means a noticeably thicker design.

Samsung is reportedly testing a much larger battery for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, even as the company delays adopting silicon-carbon battery technology.

Apple may be preparing one of the biggest battery upgrades in iPhone history with the rumored iPhone 18 Pro Max, but instead of joining the race toward 7,000mAh batteries, the company appears to be betting on efficiency over capacity.

Rumored price increases for the iPhone 18 Pro series are drawing skepticism, with many consumers questioning whether incremental upgrades warrant paying more.

Apple is rumored to be preparing its most ambitious iPhone lineup yet, with as many as six new models expected to debut during the iPhone's 20th anniversary year in 2027.
