Read on for all the details!

Samsung appears to be shifting gears in its foldable phone strategy, and the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip FE is a significant part of this change.

The “FE” series has always been about offering a more budget-friendly alternative to flagship models, and the Galaxy Z Flip FE will reportedly follow the same principle.

Read on to find out more details.

Vivo‘s next flagship phone, the Vivo X200 Ultra, is already making headlines months ahead of its expected debut in March or April 2025.

The latest leak reveals an alleged render and key specifications of the device, giving a glimpse of what could be one of Vivo’s most premium offerings.

Poco will launch the Poco X7 Pro Iron Man Edition on January 9, 2025, alongside the global rollout of the Poco X7 Series. This edition offers an Iron Man-inspired design and themed customizations.

The Iron Man Edition features a golden Poco logo on the top-right of the rear panel, the Iron Man logo in the center, and the Marvel Avengers logo at the bottom.

As 2025 approaches, smartphone enthusiasts are already looking ahead to what’s shaping up to be another competitive year in the high-end flagship market.

If you’re someone who only upgrades when the biggest and most powerful models hit the shelves, the “Ultra” segment is where you’ll want to focus your attention. In 2025, four major players are lining up their most ambitious releases yet: Samsung, Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi.

The world of mobile technology continues to advance at an incredible pace, with smartphones becoming increasingly sophisticated. Yet, amidst this technological revolution, feature phones have carved out a niche market that still generates significant revenue.

Globally, the feature phone market is projected to reach $10.6 billion in revenue by 2024, despite an anticipated 24.48% decrease in volume between 2024 and 2029.
