Your decision between the forthcoming OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro just a little bit easier to make, thanks to fresh specs confirmed by the company's CEO today.

The OnePlus 7 Pro will feature a new display that 'stunned' CEO Peter Lau, who has described it as "super-smooth and very crisp," according to an interview with The Verge.

• We're already asking: when will get Android Q?
• This is a direct threat to the Samsung Galaxy S10
• Will is be among the best gaming phones?

Update: The Alcatel Avalon V price has changed to $99 from $120, so we've updated our story.

The Alcatel Avalon V is basically the polar opposite of the new Galaxy Fold. It doesn't bend, it doesn't have basic features like a fingerprint sensor and it doesn't have specs that will blow you away. 

Oh, and it's 1/20th the price of Samsung's foldable phone and has less front bezel.

At just $99, this is one of the cheapest 4G LTE phones we've gone hands-on with in 2019.… Read the full article

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is an ambitious foldable phone, but one with mounting durability problems, according to a handful of press who got early access to it.

We've seen a total of five broken Fold screens – four in which it isn't working at all and one instance in which half of the 7.3-inch tablet-like display is flickering.

Reviewers and analysts from CNBC, Bloomberg, The Verge, Android Central and YouTube tweeted about their experience after one and two days with the phone.… Read the full article

We've been checking for the Apple AirPower release date every day, but there's no need to do that anymore, as Apple has officially canceled the project altogether.

AirPower, the wireless charging mat Apple revealed a year and a half ago, first showed up at the iPhone X launch event. That was September 12, 2017, or 563 days ago.

It promised to Qi-charge three devices at once anywhere you laid them down on the mat. So you could simply drop your iPhone XS Max, AirPods 2019 and Apple Watch 4 onto the mat and juice them up without having to plug in any cables.… Read the full article

The Samsung Galaxy Fold release date is less than a month from today, and there's an official video demoing the South Korean company's folding torture test.

The 30-second YouTube video shows the first true foldable smartphone being folded and unfolded by machines, and no creases are in sight on the Infinity Flex Display.

The Galaxy Fold can outlast 200,000 folds and unfolds, according to Samsung, which is enough for five years of heavy use – if folded 100 times a day.… Read the full article

Update: The Apple News Plus magazine list is below, and we found 271 newspapers and magazine in the new app, meaning you can expect more publications soon to meet that 'more than 300' promise.

Apple News Plus is bringing magazines into the fold, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook during today's Apple TV Plus keynote, giving you access to over 300 high-quality digital magazines and premium newspapers in the Apple News app.

It launched on Monday, March 25 in the US and Canada, and while Apple's fancy, curated RSS news reader will remain free, the digital magazines and newspapers will cost money – luckily just one flat fee for access to all of the premium content.… Read the full article

Apple says it's rethinking credit cards with its forthcoming Apple Card, and it touts a bunch of consumer-friendly features I don't get from my current bank.

That's enough to get me to rethink my credit card allegiances. The promise of privacy and empowerment over our finances sounds like a fresh take on banking. I'm ready for a smart credit card in 2019.

Yes, there's a bit of vertical domination to it. Apple would be part of my transactions, from start to finish, from my building credit to buy the iPhone 11, to storing all of my data via iCloud, to trading the phone in for store credit toward the 2020 iPhone.… Read the full article

Motorola's 5G add-on costs $350 (about £265, AU$495) – which is as much as the the Moto Z3 itself at some online retailers.… Read the full article
