Smartphones with flexible screens are already a reality. And we all know this very well. But somehow it turns out that in fact only two companies managed to create such devices – Samsung, which was very successful in this, and Motorola, whose smartphones with flexible screens are not needed by anyone. The rest of the companies seem to be trying to do something, but somehow everything does not reach the release. We will not say anything about Huawei at all, because it seemed to be a clamshell, but Huawei is now in such a situation that we will just remember …
So, the Oppo company also decided to try themselves in this field. But I still haven’t shown a live working smartphone with a flexible screen. But the prototype of a more interesting device has already been rolled out. And on paper and pictures it looks downright great. A new concept was presented today, which was developed with the Japanese company Nendo. The smartphone has been called a slide-phone, if you like. And this thing is really unique. I would like to see this in life, in fact.
There are two hinges on board the smartphone that can allow the user to choose the screen diagonal that he wants to see in front of him right now. You can open the smartphone, then it will be 1.5 inches to check notifications or access the music player. Then you can slide the smartphone apart and get 3.15 inches, which will be quite convenient if you need to take a quick photo or respond to an urgent message. And if you unfold the smartphone completely, it will be 7 inches with practically no frames. But here it turns out that the device will be excessively elongated. But it will work well if you work with several applications at once.
To all this, stylus support was added to the smartphone. The stylus itself can even be hidden in a specially thought out place in the body of the smartphone. There will also be 3 cameras on board, a flash and that’s it. They did not want to provide any more information. The whole emphasis is on flexible screen, design and functionality. Therefore, no one began to talk about the technical characteristics. Apparently, there are no technical characteristics in principle. And the release date was not reported. And most likely such a device will be too expensive to buy. And it is possible that it will not even be produced. But it is not exactly.

Samsung will remember how to make smartphones with removable batteries. This feature is confirmed for the “indestructible” Galaxy XCover6 Pro
The Samsung Galaxy XCover6 Pro smartphone will offer not only a very well-protected case, but also an ultra-rare feature in the form of a removable battery.
Earlier renders that appeared on the Web hinted at a removable back cover, but now the instruction manual has become available, where this is confirmed.
Slots for SIM cards will be located in the old fashioned way under a removable cover. To install or remove cards, you will need to remove the battery.
The smartphone will also receive a headphone jack, which is located on the top edge.
Recall, according to available data, the device will be based on SoC Snapdragon 778G. He will also receive 6 GB of RAM, a 6.5-inch screen and a dual main camera.

Apple will bring back the Plus prefix in iPhone names after five years of absence. The new model of the upcoming line will be called the iPhone 14 Plus
Apple will return to the old principle of naming their smartphones. The source claims that the new model of the iPhone 14 line will not be called the iPhone 14 Max, as previously thought, but the iPhone 14 Plus.
Thus, Apple will return to the Plus prefix in the name five years after abandoning it. The last such smartphone, recall, was the iPhone 8 Plus, which was released in 2017.
The name iPhone 14 Plus should be more understandable for users, as many have been accustomed to such a scheme since those times. But the name iPhone 14 Max could confuse inexperienced users, since this set-top box has been side by side with Pro in recent years and was inherent only to older models.
Recall that the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are credited with the current Apple A15 Bionic SoC, while older models will receive the new A16 Bionic. It is believed that Apple will take such a step due to a shortage of chips.

Samsung Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra users will soon be able to try out Android 13 and One UI 5.0. The public beta version of the firmware will be released in mid-July
Rumors attributed the release of the public beta version of the One UI 5.0 interface based on Android 13 in July this year, and now the source has given a little more detail on this matter. The “window” for the release of the beta version of One UI 5.0 has been clarified – this will happen in the third week of July, from the 11th to the 17th.
The flagship smartphones of the Galaxy S22 series will be the first to receive One UI 5.0, which is logical. But the source writes that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 will join the beta testing program pretty quickly. Well, the final version of One UI 5.0 will appear only in October. However, this is still earlier than the release of One UI 4.0 took place at one time.
