The fairly reliable leaker OnLeaks has shared his first CAD renders for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, via MyMobiles, and it looks… pretty much identical to the Z Flip 7, actually. It’s apparently slimmer though, with 0.5mm shaved off when closed, which should make it fractionally more pocketable.

The Pura 90 series will launch in China on April 20th, and the phones will be decked out in a series of colorful gradient finishes. GizmoChina has images of the full line of Pura 90 Pro and Pro Max colors, but I’m a fan of this sunset Pro Max Huawei has teased on Weibo.

After being announced at CES 2026, TCL has confirmed its NXTPaper 70 Pro, featuring the company’s matte finish screen tech that’s meant to compete with E Ink, is now available through T-Mobile and Metro by T‑Mobile for $199.99 with a phone plan. The 70 Pro is also listed as “Coming Soon” on TCL’s US site for $299.99.

The Elec reports that Samsung Display secured a three-year exclusivity deal for folding iPhone screens, with the maybe-delayed, maybe-not-delayed Apple foldable due later this year. The question is whether Apple is getting the nearly creaseless panels Samsung showed off at CES, which it will need to match the Oppo Find N6.

Google’s latest affordable phone launched in Japan today, more than a month after its release elsewhere. The wait might have been worth it though, since Japanese buyers can get the phone in an exclusive isai blue finish, designed in partnership with Heralbony, a creative company that works with artists with disabilities.

Oppo is gearing up for April’s release of the Find X9 Ultra, and just confirmed it’ll have a 10x periscope lens — I think the first in any phone since Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra in 2023. Oppo’s Zhuo Shijie says the company pioneered a new five-reflection prism periscope to make it possible without a loss of quality.

The company has confirmed its Find X9 Ultra is getting its global launch in April, though the exact date remains unknown. The teaser poster shows what appears to be the returning haptic camera button from the Find X8 Ultra, only now more eye-catching in Hasselblad / iPhone orange.

The flagship launches in China on March 30th, though we don’t know if the promised international launch will be at the same time. We’ve also gotten our first good look at the phone, which includes a snazzy two-tone body. It’ll launch alongside the more affordable X300S, and both phones will support Vivo’s telephoto converter lenses.

Samsung has discontinued its TriFold phone after just a few months on sale, amid speculation that it only ever manufactured a few thousand devices. So long, TriFold, we barely knew ye.

Bloomberg reports Apple manufactured 55 million iPhones in India in 2025, up from 36 million a year before, following a concerted effort to move production after Trump’s tariffs. Its aim is reportedly to build the 60 million annual US iPhone sales to India by the end of this year.

Oppo says its latest flagship foldable will be getting a “global launch” on March 17th. A promo for the Find N6 was also posted by Oppo’s official X account, though specific regional availability hasn’t been confirmed. The Find N5’s “global” release never went beyond Asia, will this make it further afield?

The Infinix Note 60 Ultra, launching today in Malaysia, was codesigned with Italian auto designer Pininfarina. I’m not sure I see much of its influence in the phone’s dot matrix rear display or odd inspirational lockscreen quotes, but the sports car-shaped SIM tool and wireless charger do give off a very specific energy.

It’s just a concept, but it’s fully functional at the big MWC show. Even the mix-and-match magnetic accessories seem to all work on the prototype we tested.
