Samsung is the king of foldable devices. Between the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6, as well as the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, Samsung has quite the lineup. It’s missing just one key addition to the lineup: a trifold phone like the Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2. According to known tipster Jukanlosreve, however, there might be one in the works.

The leaker shared a link to ZDNet Korea that covered a lot of business-focused discussion, but it also held hints at what Samsung might be up to. Bear in mind that we’re working through a translation, so some information may not be perfectly spot-on.

The article starts off discussing how Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 sales have performed below expectations, but goes on to say the foldable market is still growing. It’s an interesting story, but a little on the dry side. The real nuggets of information come near the end.

According to the story, Samsung is “discussing” the release of another addition to its lineup in the form of a trifold phone. Apparently the display for the trifold has already been completed, but is awaiting further development from Samsung, so whether it will come to market or not remains to be seen.

In addition, Samsung is also discussing a budget-focused flip phone, but this contradicts earlier rumors from Jukanlosreve. According to the leaker, the upcoming phone is an enhanced version rather than a budget model. It would make sense; with the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition on the way, it follows that there would be a market for a Galaxy Z Flip Special Edition (or something similar).

The back of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus.

Technology company Nothing will launch its first Community Edition smartphone at the end of October, and rather than being a collaboration with another brand, it's the result of a collaboration with its fans. The device is the culmination of a project that started in March 2024 and involves members of the Nothing fan base suggesting and designing certain aspects of a new phone. The resulting device will be called the Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition, and it’s set to be fully revealed on October 30.

If you haven’t heard of the Nothing Community Project before, here’s a quick overview. When it was announced in March, the company explained that there would be four different stages,where members of the Nothing fan base could contribute ideas and designs to shape a future version of the Nothing Phone 2a. The first stage focused on hardware design, the second involved wallpapers, the third concentrated on the packaging for the new phone, and finally the last stage was all about the marketing.

iPhone SE

It seems like more information about the iPhone SE 4 is released every week, and that's saying something when we already know quite a bit about this gadget. An image of an iPhone SE 4 case has hit the web, courtesy of known leaker Sonny Dickson, and it matches what we've come to expect with one big difference: there's no cutout for the Action button.

We know the iPhone SE 4 will likely resemble the iPhone 14, but some rumors have mentioned an Action button similar to what the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 offer. If you take a look at the image below, you'll see the cutout where the Action button should usually go. It looks more like it's designed for a silent/mute toggle switch.

Leaked images of what appears to be a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 have surfaced, offering a few glimpses of the upcoming foldable phone. While the images don't reveal the complete picture, they confirm some key design elements and hint at potential color options. These images were posted on X by Evan Blass and later mentioned by Android Headlines.

One image showcased shows a prominent rear camera bump housing three lenses. While this confirms a triple-camera setup, it seems that a periscope telephoto lens won't be included, potentially disappointing those hoping for enhanced zoom capabilities.
