ZTE's next Nubia smartphone could boast a dual-camera setup on the back

It looks like we could be getting a new ZTE smartphone in the near future. ZTE began teasing a March 21 event on its Weibo account, where the company is expected to unveil a new Nubia smartphone with a dual camera on the back. It’s not known exactly what device in the Nubia series the phone will end up being but if it does have a dual camera, it will mark ZTE’s first attempt at bringing that feature to its Nubia range.

How do we know that there will be a dual camera phone at the event? Well, we don’t know for sure but accompanying the teaser is a graphic that shows two circles that look suspiciously like camera lenses.

There don’t seem to be any rumors about a Nubia device with a dual camera just yet and we may just have to wait until the event to get any details about it. According to a user on Chinese social media network Weibo, however, the phone may boast a borderless display and it could be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. If that is true, it will only be the second smartphone with a Snapdragon 835 — coming after the Sony Xperia XZ, which was the first Snapdragon 835-powered phone.

This will mark the second Nubia phone to be released in a month — the company launched the Nubia N1 Lite at MWC at the end of last month. The phone boasts a 5.5-inch HD display with a 1,280 x 720-pixel display and a MediaTek 64-bit processor with 2GB of RAM. It also had 16GB of storage and a microSD card slot and a single-lens 8MP camera. It’s powered by a 3,000mAh battery and 4G connectivity and has a fingerprint scanner on the back of the device.

We’ve waited several years for Samsung to join the party, but it’s finally here: Samsung has followed rivals like Oppo, OnePlus, and Honor in building a thinner, lighter, and sleeker Galaxy Z Fold 7. It’s an impressive feat of engineering and a major upgrade over previous years.

It’s easy to consider the Fold 7 nothing more than an update to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but in many ways, it feels like a huge step forward, not just for Samsung but for all folding phones. I spent a few hours with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in an exclusive preview, and here’s why I absolutely love what Samsung has done this year.

I tried the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series – they’re sleek, but with a lot to prove
Watch 8 on a wrist

Trying out the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic is a tough gig - not in terms of it being a hardship to try out two high-end models, but that it's impossible to assess them with only 30 minutes’ use.

I can easily talk about the improved design and the fit of the straps etc, but the real changes are within the health ecosystem, and they'll need sustained testing to really understand if they're any good.
