Even if the phones are tall and feel unusual in hand, they are reasonably easy to handle. The Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus are thin and relatively...

Samsung to offer an official leather case for the Galaxy Fold

Foldable phones raise a lot of questions, chief among them being how do you protect one. You obviously can't install a tempered glass protector on a foldable phone but you might be able to put it in a case. When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Fold we've seen early renders of Spigen cases and now we learn Samsung will make its own leather case for the Galaxy Fold. It's not clear what a Samsung-made leather case for the Galaxy Fold will look like (image below is just our mockup) but it makes sense to use a flexible material such as leather. The case likely won't come cheap either...

The company also plans to lay off around 530 workers in Germany (where it employs 3,500) and 460 in France (out of 4,000). A glimpse inside Nokia's production facility at Oulu Among all that downsizing, the Oulu facility will be spared. The city was hit hard back in 2013 after...

vivo Y91i launched in India with 6.22" display and 4,030 mAh battery

If for some reason the vivo Y91 seemed expensive, the newly released Y91i offers mostly the same specs but at a slightly lower price.

Yet this new Y91i is different from the vivo Y91i sold in markets such as Malaysia and Thailand. The phone features the same 6.22" HD+ display with a waterdrop notch like the Y91. Inside is the 12nm Helio P22 with 2GB of RAM. The base model comes with just 16GB of storage, but thankfully there's a microSD card slot for expansion. The vivo...
