The Lenovo Legion Go Fold concept looks amazing
I got to try out a prototype of the Lenovo Legion Go Fold being shown at Mobile World Congress 2026 and it’s a pretty gorgeous device.

Why Circular Camera Hump Arrays Are The Best
Most smartphones these days have an array of camera lenses and sensors on the back of the phone. It’s rare to see just one camera since we love having the flexibility of multiple focal lengths. However, there’s a lot of diversity in the layout of those camera lenses and sensors. Some companies put them all in a raised rectangular hump like the iPhones do. Some have each lens raised up individually like the Samsung Galaxy …
