» The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been out on Thai markets for about 2 months and has remained as one of the thinnest and most premium folding phones at the present. But competition has been fierce, with many Chinese phone companies releasing their top-of-the-line folding phones just lately, how is it holding up compared other folding phones in 2025?

» In 2021, the best versatile phone for photography and video was the Samsung S21 Ultra.

» If you think the Galaxy Flip 3 -- which I reviewed previously -- was cool, the Galaxy Fold 3 will blow you away and turn heads with what seems to be a 7.6-inch rectangle-ish glass screen that can vertically fold in half to save space and comes with no camera notch. But it's not for everyone.

» Last year, I reviewed the XCover Pro (bit.ly/3C16RAu) which was summed as being "rubberised all around, waterproof, drop-proof, and having swappable batteries". This year's iteration of the XCover, the XCover 5, has been tweaked to be smaller, lighter and cheaper but still as tough as its predecessor.

The 'fan edition' phone for non-Samsung fans

» This review hurts me personally because I paid a lot of money and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S20+ around mid-year. Now, the newly-released S20 FE 5G is cheaper, faster and has all the same Samsung features with a set of slightly inferior cameras at around half the price.
