Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is not happening this year, meaning phone makers are being forced to make announcements online only. China's Vivo is the latest to do so with the curvy Apex 2020 concept, featuring a next level camera system.

As expected, given that Mobile World Congress has been canceled this year, LG has today announced the latest member of its V Series smartphones. The V60 ThinQ 5G features an improved dual screen, better audio and a bigger battery.

A year after entering the foldable phone arena with the Mate X, Huawei has announced the next flavor. The Mate Xs looks pretty much the same as before but gains a faster processor and new hinge.

In September last year, Sony announced a new flagship phone called the Xperia 5, a compact follow up to the tall and slim Xperia 1. Well, now the company has gone super-tall again for the Mark II version of that phone.

New versions of Android and iOS don't suddenly appear any more – instead, they roll out slowly over the course of several months. Today, Google introduced us to Android 11 for the first time, through a developer preview.

Now more than ever you don't have to pay top dollar to get a decent phone, and LG has crowded the mid-range market even further with the launch of three new phones that sport quad-lens cameras on the rear, as well as some respectable specs inside.

Xiaomi has been battling the big flagship phone makers with its own high-spec, medium-price handsets for several years now, and the Chinese manufacturer isn't letting up in 2020. It just unveiled the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.

At a special Unpacked 2020 event, Samsung has unveiled its first flagship phones of the year: the Galaxy S20, the Galaxy S20 Plus, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra. As last year, we've got three different handsets at three different price points.

Samsung has tried its hand at foldable phones before, but its new Galaxy Z Flip folds from top to bottom rather than from side to side. It's a compact clamshell foldable, in the same vein as the recently-launched Motorola Razr.

The latest low-budget, high-value Android phones from Motorola have arrived, with the Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus set to be two of the best reasons why you don't have to buy a flagship phone in 2020.

Not everyone is able to use their gadgets via the usual taps and swipes, which is why extra accessibility add-ons are so important – such as a new eye-tracking system called Skyle, which works with the 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro.

Phone makers continue to cram better lenses and more cameras into their phones, and now app developers are catching up: a new app called DoubleTake from Filmic lets you record from multiple cameras at once on the latest iPhone handsets.
