Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung’s tri-fold Galaxy just showed up in a list of phones set to get free premium Gemini. Google’s app refers to this as the “2025” Samsung Trifold. An appearance here suggests Samsung could be nearly ready to release the hardware. Smartphone fans can be a fickle bunch. Foldable phones? Been there, done that. If you want to keep shoppers impressed, you’ve got to stay one step ahead of everyone else, and right now, that means building a (confoundingly labeled) “tri-fold” handset (that actually only folds twice). Multiple companies have been working on these concepts, and…

Oppo’s latest flagship phone, like the sleek (but hard to buy) Find N5 foldable, goes hard on the tech specifications. In fact, the Find X9 Pro’s specs read like a wishlist of what many want to see in their phones, with a huge 7,500mAh battery, a 200-megapixel telephoto camera and a bright 6.78-inch screen with tiny, almost one-millimeter bezels, all while still measuring in at 8.25mm in thickness. Oh, and an optional telephoto lens add-on that boosts camera zoom to 10x.The Find X9 Pro will be priced at £1,099 (roughly $1,459). The biggest drawback may be that, despite the Find…

Amazon just dropped the JBL Go 3 to $29, down from $39, hitting an all-time low price that puts this rugged Bluetooth speaker cheaper than most wired alarm clocks. At this price, you’re paying less than a dollar per hour of battery life…
