Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is a unique foldable phone that offers a large AMOLED screen tucked inside its compact design. The device boasts a flagship chipset, great stereo speakers, and a solid set of cameras. Since last year's model, there have been significant improvements to durability, water resistance, and screen brightness. The phone's dual screens feature fast refresh rates, making for seamless transitions between them. Stylus support is also a welcome addition, allowing users to interact with the device in new ways. The hidden selfie camera is an interesting innovation that adds a touch of elegance to the design. In terms of performance, the Z Fold3 is powered by a flagship chipset, but thermals can be a concern during intense use. Battery life is nothing special, and charging speed is relatively slow compared to other flagships. Camera-wise, the Z Fold3's main camera produces excellent shots in good lighting conditions, with great detail and color accuracy. The telephoto lens also performs well, especially when using night mode. However, the ultra-wide camera can be soft at times, and low-light performance is a mixed bag. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is the most advanced foldable phone on the market today. While it has some drawbacks compared to other flagships, its unique design, feature set, and solid cameras make it worth considering for those who value innovation and exclusivity.

Honor Magic7 Lite

Take it down to -30°C or heat it up to +50°C? This phone has been designed to withstand the toughest conditions. In this review, we'll dive into the Magic7 Lite's capabilities and see if it lives up to its promises.
