If you're after a quality Android tablet, then Samsung can usually offer what you need – but its new Galaxy Tab Active3 is something a little out of the ordinary, with extra ruggedness and features for computing on the go.

As if the 2020 lineup of Galaxy phones wasn’t crowded enough, Samsung has now revealed the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE). Packing a big screen and a beefy battery, the idea seems to be to bring a few flagship features into a less expensive phone.

It might not have attracted the same number of headlines as the Samsung Galaxy Fold or the Huawei Mate X, but the Royole FlexPai was the first foldable phone to hit the market towards the end of 2018. Now the Chinese company is back with a sequel.

Sony's latest flagship phone is here, the Sony Xperia 5 II. As is usual for Sony, the screen and the camera are the stars of this particular show, though it also comes with plenty of power under the hood and will have a certain appeal for gamers.

We would ordinarily have seen a new iPhone by this point in September, but Apple is behind schedule this year. It has, however, used a special online event dubbed Time Flies to launch new Apple Watches, iPads, and subscription services.

Sometimes, one touch display on a smartphone just doesn't seem enough. LG has recognized this and announced the Wing, where the main screen swivels on a hinge to reveal a half-size second one.

Nvidia has confirmed that it's acquiring UK chip designer Arm from Japanese owner SoftBank in a US$40-billion deal made up of a combination of shares and cash, though the move is yet to undergo regulatory scrutiny.

We saw the first rebooted, foldable Razr in November last year, and now Motorola is back with a successor to that smartphone. Still simply called the Razr, the 2020 version adds 5G, more power, better cameras, and some other welcome refinements.

Seven months after the first developer preview, Android 11 is officially rolling out now for selected phones (including the newer Pixels). Among the new features are upgrades to notifications, messaging, security and media playback controls.

Which Samsung Galaxy phone is best for you? The flagship S20 line, the budget A51 or the premium Note20 devices? To help you decide, New Atlas compares the specs and features of the Samsung Galaxy Note20, Note20 Ultra, A51, S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra.

It could soon be time to say goodbye to the notch for good. ZTE has announced the Axon 20 5G smartphone, set to be the first to market with an in-screen camera that's able to snap photos from underneath the phone's display.

Samsung gave us a glimpse of the Galaxy Z Fold2 last month, but now we've got the full picture. The foldable follow-up to the original Galaxy Fold is going on sale from September 18, with pricing starting at US$1,999.
