An upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 rival could have the biggest battery in a Flip phone
This would mean it has the largest battery out of all Flip foldable phones.
HONOR's rumored Flip phone will apparently launch later this month.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a 4,300mAh battery, which is a small but welcome bump over last year's model. However, rivals like the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 go even larger. It now looks like HONOR could also up the ante.
Leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that the rumored HONOR Magic V Flip 2 will have a 5,500mAh battery. If confirmed, that would be the largest battery in a Flip foldable phone to date.
A 5,500mAh battery would mean the Magic V Flip 2 has a bigger battery than the Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, it would also be bigger than the batteries in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and global Xiaomi 15 Ultra. So you should definitely keep an eye on this model if you want a Flip phone with long battery life.
You won't have long to wait for charging, as the leaker says the phone will have an 80W charger. Otherwise, the phone will apparently launch later this month in Moon Shadow White, Titanium Sky Gray, Dawn Purple, and Dream Blue color schemes.
The one potential downside is that the original phone didn't launch outside China. That means we don't have high hopes for a global Magic V Flip 2 launch down the line.

Forget the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Foldables Should Look Like the Microsoft Surface Duo
Google almost got it right with the first Pixel Fold. As Google unveils its latest foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, at this year's Made by Google event, I keep thinking about the original Pixel Fold. Released in 2023, it was far from a perfect phone. It was underpowered, had a thick inner bezel and couldn't open completely flat. Even then, it was a beautiful device with a shiny stainless steel chassis that felt substantial in the hand. Not only that, it was wide. The passport-like form factor made it squat in comparison to slab-style iPhones and Galaxys, but when opened up, it had an almost TV-like 17:9 aspect ratio. Then, with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold the following year, Google threw out the Moleskine for Galaxy Z Fold-style safety. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold axed its predecessor's passport-like form factor for a slab that happened to fold open. Literally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold had the same outer screen aspect ratio as the Pixel 9 Pro. Here, Google was folding (no pun intended) to industry trends, following similar form factors of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, OnePlus Open, Xiaomi's MIX Fold 4 and others. Apart from the first Pixel Fold, the only other phone to go squat and wide was the first Oppo Find N from 2021. YouTuber Marques Brownlee went so far as to call it the best folding phone, in terms of form factor. Since then, Oppo dropped the passport for a folding slab, as can be seen with the Oppo Find N5. Why all foldables look the same A major reason all foldable phone makers have adopted a similar form factor is app support. The outer display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a more typical slab phone aspect ratio, meaning apps better conform to its standard smartphone-like screen. And when opened, loading up two apps side-by-side fits well on what's essentially a long rectangle. "That's what led us to say, 'Hey, we need to make this a phone first in terms of design,'" Claude Zellweger, Google's director of industrial design, said in a 2024 blog post about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The other issue is Android's limited app support for tablets. The iPad, which has strong support from Apple, sells well and gets plenty of app updates to support its wider form factor. The same can't be said for Android tablets. Many Android apps aren't optimized for wider tablet aspect ratios. It's a recurring complaint from fans and tech columnists. It doesn't help that Google hasn't put in a strong effort in the tablet space either, with the company axing its Pixel Tablet line after just one attempt. So, when you tried to run Reddit or some other popular third-party apps on the Pixel Fold's wide screen, the app would have black bars on both sides, essentially running in the same aspect ratio as a typical phone. This problem persists on taller foldables as well; it just isn't as prominent. Who'll make a foldable that gets it right? Despite the anemic support for tablet apps, I'd love to see a foldable phone with the measurements of the Microsoft Surface Duo. Released in 2020, it was a half-step toward what foldable phones are today. Instead of having a foldable inner display, it was two screens bisected by a hinge. It really felt like holding a metal and glass Moleskine notebook. The inner two displays on the Surface Duo had a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is also square-like. This is largely due to its chunky inner bezels. Foldable screen tech has come a long way since. Assuming Microsoft were to make a true foldable in 2025 with minimal bezels, the inner display could have a wide 24:9 aspect ratio. It would be a beastly device for watching YouTube, Netflix or playing games. And rotating it would feed my eyes an endless scroll of Instagram Reels brainrot. The likelihood of any foldable phone-maker bisecting a 16:9 or 21:9 screen is slim. Honestly, if any phone-maker could do something so daring, it'd be Apple. Rumors have been floating for some time that Apple is working on a clamshell-like foldable for 2027. If Apple does decide to jump into the world of book-style foldables, thanks to the iPad, a wide foldable iPhone would be ready to go without the need for developers to massively overhaul their apps. Assuming Apple does do a squat and wide foldable, that move would likely prompt the rest of the smartphone market to (again, I apologize for the pun), fold.

2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview The performance version of Hyundai's Ioniq 5 EV feels like a mad scientist's project gone very right. This car is full of internal contradictions, able to both maximize the output from its pair of electric motors—up to 641 horsepower in N Grin Boost mode—and faithfully impersonate the sound and feel of an internal-combustion machine, right down to simulated transmission shifts. Sure, it sounds gimmicky, but it works. We're big fans of the 5 N because it's able to scratch multiple itches at once. It's a performance car, a fresh take on EV performance, and a throwback all wrapped into one everyday-useful package. Electric range is 190 miles in our testing, which is toward the low end, but at least the 5 N can recharge quickly and, as of this year, has native access to the Tesla Supercharger network. Expert Tip: Want something a little more adult-looking? The Kia EV6 GT shares its platform and powertrain with the 5 N but dials back the track focus in favor of simplicity. What's New for 2026? For its second model year, the Ioniq 5 N sees a handful of updates. Chief among them is a switch to the Tesla-style NACS charging port; adapters for Level 2 and fast-charging come with it, and the included charge cable can now handle Level 2 in addition to Level 1 juicing. The N Drift Optimizer now offers 10 selectable stages instead of the original single mode. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is expected to start around $68,000. Ioniq 5 N $68,000 (est) 0 $25k $50k $75k $100k $125k The Ioniq 5 N is offered in a single trim and with few options. Really, the only choice to make here is a color. Might we suggest Hyundai's Performance Blue? EV Motor, Power, and Performance EV Motors: 641-hp dual motor 641-hp dual motor Drivetrain: all-wheel-drive The Ioniq 5 N comes with a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration that makes 601 horsepower—most of the time. When the N Grin Boost feature is used, the powertrain can temporarily spin up to a maximum of 641 horsepower. Its all-wheel-drive system gives drivers the ability to distribute the bulk of that power to the front or rear wheels as desired. There's even a dedicated drift mode that inspires enough confidence to let you hang the tail out in lurid slides. Four different modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, and N) adjust the steering weight, damping, and throttle sensitivity. There are also Endurance and Sprint modes to either preserve the Ioniq 5 N's battery range or unlock maximum power for tasks such as qualifying or drag racing. To make the N feel more like a high-performance gas-powered car with a multi-speed automatic, Hyundai has programmed in a simulated gearshift feature that replicates the feel of a shift when you pull the steering-wheel-mounted paddles. (The system can be turned on and off.) During our initial test drive, which was conducted solely on a racing circuit in South Korea, we found that the 5 N does a commendable job of tracking straight during all-out launches and under hard ABS engagement on mixed-traction surfaces. Handling is balanced and controllable when you want it to be, but the drift mode allows you to hang the tail out when it's time for more fun. On the road, the Ioniq 5 N can be as comfortable as a standard Ioniq 5 or, dialed up to its sportiest settings, transformed into a corner-conquering hero. 0–60-MPH Times C/D 60-mph Test: 3.0 seconds In Comparison: The related Kia EV6 GT needs 3.2 seconds to complete the same acceleration run, even though it now boasts the same output as its Hyundai cousin. View Photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Range, Charging, and Battery Life C/D Range Test: 190 miles The Ioniq 5 N comes with an 84.0-kWh battery pack that can charge on a DC connection at up to 238 kW. The EPA estimates the Ioniq 5 N's range at 221 miles of mixed driving per charge. On our highway fuel-economy test route, we managed a decent 190 miles before the battery depleted. Hyundai says the Ioniq 5 N can complete two laps of the Nürburgring Nordschleife before losing any of its performance. The company also claims that in Endurance mode, it can complete twenty minutes of track time, recharge in another 20 minutes on a DC connection, and then complete another 20 minutes of track time. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe EPA City Rating: 84 MPGe 84 MPGe EPA Highway Rating: 72 MPGe The EPA hasn't released any fuel-economy information for the 2026 Ioniq 5 N yet, but the 2025 model earned ratings of 84 MPGe city, 72 MPGe highway, and 78 MPGe combined. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency. In our testing, a 2025 5 N averaged just 69 MPGe, but that's not a huge surprise in an EV that begs to be driven all out. For more information about the Ioniq 5 N's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo First Row: Those who've been inside the regular Ioniq 5 will find the N's interior familiar, but Hyundai has added several performance-oriented features to heighten the experience. A set of aggressively bolstered front seats helps hold you in place during high-speed cornering, and a unique steering wheel features buttons to access the SUV's drive modes, regenerative braking levels, and the N Grin Boost feature. Second Row: The N's rear seats are mostly standard-issue Ioniq 5, but with faux-suede inserts to match the fronts. A flat floor provides an open feeling, and legroom is pretty good for something this size. Cargo Capacity: We expect to see an identical amount of passenger and cargo space as the standard Ioniq 5, which held a maximum of 20 carry-on suitcases inside with the rear seats folded during our testing.

There are five USB-C ports available, three in front and two in the rear. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features The Ioniq 5 N comes with a wide array of driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and a surround-view camera system. Everything offered is included; there are no optional safety systems. Standard Safety Features: adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist For information about the Ioniq 5 N's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.

Why Taiwan Semiconductor Stock Tumbled Today
Key Points The U.S. government wants to take a 10% stake in Intel. It also wants to convert the free grant money that it already promised Intel into payment for Intel shares. The government may do the same thing to TSMC. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › Contract semiconductor manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) stock slid 2.2% through 12:22 p.m. ET Wednesday. Why? As you may have heard by now, President Trump is planning to take an equity stake in Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). All the cool kids are doing it Following passage of the Biden administration's CHIPS Act supporting the U.S. semiconductor industry, Intel was awarded $10.9 billion in grants. But as Bloomberg reports, the Trump White House is now negotiating with Intel to convert those grants into a 10% stake in Intel stock. But Intel wasn't alone in winning CHIPS Act grants. As CNBC points out, Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) was awarded $6.6 billion in U.S. government semiconductor subsidies. And now it seems U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick may want to convert that grant into an equity stake as well. What does this mean for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing stock? That's the question investors are pondering today: What does this mean for TSMC? If Commerce converts its $6.6 billion grant into a $6.6 billion investment in TSMC stock, it will effectively remove $6.6 billion in "free money" from TSMC's balance sheet. But TSMC would still get to keep the $6.6 billion -- in exchange for handing shares over to the government. It might also be better positioned to win further government subsidies. But what if the rumors prove false? What if the government invests only in Intel, and not in TSMC? That would seem to give the government a big incentive to make sure Intel "wins" the semiconductor market, perhaps at TSMC's expense. This is bad news for TSMC.
