You might think getting a second phone number is difficult and would require swapping out SIM cards or getting a new phone or something similar.
But you couldn’t be more wrong! All you need to
The real reason Samsung wants you to buy a folding phone this year
“Not everyone upgrades [their phone] every year. Relatively. I mean; but we’d love that to be more!” Nick Porter, vice president of product management and commercial operations at Samsung U.K. and Ireland, laughed as we talked about the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 just ahead of the official launch over a Microsoft Teams call.
His throwaway quip is
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 vs. S9 Plus vs. S9 Ultra
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked July 2023 event was huge and jam-packed with a whole slate of new products. It brought us the next generation of foldables and wearables, as well as some new Galaxy Tab S9 tablets for everyone.
Like the previous iteration, the Galaxy Tab S9 series comes with three variations: the Galaxy Tab S9, S9 Plus, and S9 Ultra. So how do you know which one to
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs. Galaxy Z Flip 4: should you upgrade?
Your boring old rigid smartphone is no longer the future. The future is foldable, and while folding and flipping phones are still very much in their infancy as far as market share goes, they’re definitely a growing part of the smartphone sector. Samsung is now on its fifth generation of foldable phones, and if any company can be said to have cracked the code on folding, it’s Samsung.
Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 have a headphone jack?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been revealed, and it’s flippin’ marvelous. So far, it’s largely just Samsung that has defined the nascent flip smartphone market, and while flipping and folding phones haven’t quite broken into the mainstream yet, the Z Flip 5 is sure to tempt more and more people into buying into the future of smartphone design.

ChatGPT app arrives for Android, but there’s a catch
OpenAI’s ChatGPT app is now available for Android, but not everyone can get it right away.
At launch, those in the U.S., India, Brazil, and Bangladesh can download the app from the Google Play Store, with “additional countries” being added “over the next week,” OpenAI said.
The rollout mirrors the one for the iPhone two months ago, which launched first in the U.S. first before being made available more widely a few days later.

I used YouTubers’ favorite camera phone and wasn’t impressed
If you’ve been watching tech sites on YouTube recently or following tech pundits on Twitter, you’ve likely seen some raving about the Oppo Find X6 Pro — a smartphone several people claim to have the best camera ever. That’s a seriously bold statement, as well as a bit of a tease. Despite Oppo releasing its top-range Find series internationally before, the Find X6 Pro seems like it’s staying in China. It certainly sounds like we’re really missing out.
Luckily, I’ve
Honor Magic Vs review: a load of old hocus pocus
Honor Magic Vs
MSRP $1,695.00
“The Honor Magic Vs has a pretty design and glorious open-screen visuals, but the buggy, disappointing software, poor quality camera, and concerns over durability mean it can’t be recommended.”

Pixel Fold vs. Galaxy Z Fold 4: choose your foldable wisely
