Honor launched its first clamshell style foldable today, the Honor V Flip, with a Haute Couture Edition designed by the fashion legend himself. Apparently he’s taking advantage of the big 4.0-inch cover screen and embracing the whole phone-on-your-shirt concept I’ve been experimenting with. I think he wore it better.
The V Flip is up for pre-order today — but only in China. It starts at 4,999 yuan.
Samsung is releasing six limited-edition pairs of the Shortcut Sneaker in collaboration with Dutch designer Roel van Hoff. The Galaxy-themed sneakers come with built-in motion sensors that trigger certain actions on your phone, such as dancing to make a phone call or play music.
That’s according to Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark, after making the world’s first phone call that utilized a codec for Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) from the upcoming 5G Advanced standard to improve call quality with three-dimensional sound.
Nokia says the technology is “now becoming standardized” and that most phones with at least two microphones are capable of supporting it, but widespread availability may take a few years.

Google claims it never actually kept people’s phones.
HTC still makes smartphones, and it looks like a new one is on the way. HTC’s UK account on X is teasing an announcement for June 12th. I still fondly remember the early days of HTC smartphones, so I’m personally hoping for a return of the legendary HD2 Windows Mobile device that opened the door to custom ROMs and mobile mods.
