Yet another phone has been released in the growing ZTE Axon 7 series. We already have the ZTE Axon 7 and the Axon 7 Mini, and now we have a new addition — the ZTE Axon 7 Max.

The new device is a pretty sweet deal, especially for those looking for a phone with a larger-than-average display. That’s thanks to its somewhat hefty 6.0-inch 3D-capable screen, and while it does have a resolution of 1080p, most won’t care too much about the under-par resolution.

On top of the huge screen is a pretty awesome design. While the device’s appearance isn’t too different from the other Axon 7 phones in the series, that’s not a bad thing — the super thin bezels and premium look carry over to the Axon 7 Max. In fact, 84 percent of the front of the device accounts for the screen, which is a pretty good figure and should help keep the overall size of the device down despite the fact that it has a 6.0-inch display.

Apart from the display, you’ll find a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, which should help increase the security of the phone. And to really take security to the next level, the device also detects things like finger skin color and heart rate, which helps prevent the cloning of your fingerprint. You know, in case you keep government secrets on your phone, or have secrets you’d like to keep yourself.

Also on the back of the phone, you’ll find a dual camera setup, which houses a 13MP primary camera and a 13MP depth-of-field camera, which only takes black and white photos and is used to give extra details to your photos.

Under the hood, the phone features a 4,100mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support, as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and 4GB of RAM. You’ll get 64GB of storage, which can be brought up to 200GB with a microSD card. The phone costs 2,999 Yuan, which equates to $442, and it will go on sale starting November 3.

This year’s iPhone lineup is about the iPhone 17 Air, expected to arrive this fall. Next year, however, Apple’s first foldable iPhone could debut. Today, we’ve heard more information about this new handset. Whether it’s good or bad will depend on your expectations.

According to Android Headlines, Digital Chat Station has revealed that the upcoming "iPhone Fold" will have a 5.49-inch cover display and a 7.74-inch inner display. If correct, this would make it Apple's smallest non-iPhone SE since the iPhone 8 Plus in 2017.

Instagram users may soon dislike comments secretly

If you saw a new button next to the like button in the comments section of Instagram for a short while, your eyes didn't deceive you. Instagram is testing the dislike button, which will allow users to dislike certain comments without anyone knowing you did so.

Threads user @crystalotv shared a screenshot on the platform Thursday evening showing the down arrow button sitting next to the like button in the comments section of her recent post. Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, announced the test in a Threads post on Friday, saying it's being done in an effort to make the comments section of the multimedia-sharing platform more . He said the dislike button won't keep track of how many people disliked a comment, as no one will know you disliked it in the first place, whether it's the user who made that comment or the users reading and replying to said comment. However, disliked comments may eventually be downranked.

In a recent earnings call with Reddit CEO Steve Huffman (u/spez), he announced plans to introduce a new type of paid subreddit that members would need a subscription to access. This follows shortly after Reddit's first profit earnings of $29.9 million in Q3 2024, and the idea is nothing new.

After being asked the progress on the "the development of paid subreddits," Huffman said, "It's a work in progress right now, so that one's coming. We're working on it as we speak." He went on to say that "new key features" planned for Reddit include Reddit Answers and paid subreddits.
