Seven generations down, it is thinner and lighter than ever, at just 8.9 mm when folded and 4.2 mm when open, with a very manageable 215 g weight. Where the Fold 7 excels is refinement: better and brighter displays (up to 2,600 nits), Gorilla Glass Armor on the cover, improved durability and 7 years of software support with One UI 8 atop Android 16. It's the device meant for real-world use, and right now, it's the best foldable Samsung sells in India. Comparing a tri-folding phone with a traditional book-style foldable is not straightforward, simply because they're designed for very different use…...

Most parents have faced the tough moment when their child asks for a smartphone, and it feels like the only options are making them feel left out or giving them access to the whole internet. It's a lose-lose scenario that HMD Global and Norwegian smartwatch brand Xplora are finally trying to fix. Instead of cramming another budget Android device with TikTok-baiting features, the company has teamed up with Xplora to build a phone that tries the opposite approach. The new XploraOne drops social media entirely. If the name sounds familiar, that's because Xplora has spent years making kid-focused wearables. But this is its first step into feature phone territory. The XploraOne offers core functions, supporting messaging, calling, location tracking, and a simple camera, without added games…...

12+ min ago (528+ words) SEOUL (Reuters) : Samsung Electronics unveiled on Tuesday its first multi-folding smartphone, in a bid to strengthen its position in a sector of the phone market where competition is expected to intensify. The launch of the Galaxy Z TriFold marks Samsung's bid to reinforce its footing in a segment where Chinese rivals have been "gaining ground, even as analysts say the high price and production challenges mean foldable devices are likely to remain a niche category for now. The model, priced at about 3."59 million won ($2,440.17), unfolds into a 253.1 millimetre (10-inch) display, using three panels and it is nearly 25% larger than Samsung's latest foldable Galaxy Z Fold 7 model. "I believe the foldable market will continue to grow, and the TriFold in particular could act as a catalyst that drives more explosive growth in key parts of the segment," said Alex Lim, Samsung…...

Date: Dec. 2, 1964 Where: San Francisco Bay Area At a low-key talk for a local professional society in 1964, computer scientist and chemist Gordon Moore laid out a prediction that would define the world of technology for more than 50 years. In the presentation for The Electrochemical Society, titled, "The Evolving Technology of the Semiconductor Integrated Circuits," Moore predicted that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year. The final version of this prediction would become known as "Moore's law," and it would drive progress in the semiconductor industry for decades. Although it's called a law, it was a prediction based more on economic dictates and…...

36+ min ago (272+ words) Currently, there is no way to access or check the IMEI numbers of your phone from the lock screen. This is because IMEI numbers are generally treated as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and there's a possibility that they could be misused by hackers or even law enforcement agencies in many cases. Code within the new app suggests that Google is adding a Device info option to this screen, which can be accessed by tapping the three-dot menu on the top right. This will then reveal the IMEI numbers of the phone. We managed to activate this screen, as visible in the second screenshot below: Google will also display this text alongside the IMEI: As the user noted: Ironically, Google closed the feature request as "Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)." The rationale given was that IMEI is a sensitive PII, and malicious…...
