Motorola unveiled the Moto G Stylus (2026) at the beginning of April, and the phone went on sale earlier this week.

Weekly deals: Galaxy A37 and A57 launch, but Galaxy S25 FE and Pixel 10a present a challenge

It was a pretty uneventful week for the US smartphone market – the biggest (and worst) thing that happened is that Samsung hiked up the prices of several of its smartphone and tablet models.

Samsung to retire old LPDDR4 RAM and move production to LPDDR5

Reports from people familiar with the DRAM market say that Samsung is accepting last orders for the LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X memory chips. Production will likely continue throughout 2026 in order to fulfill all orders. Once LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X modules are phased out, Samsung will convert the existing production lines to LPDDR5 manufacturing in the first quarter of 2027. It's no surprise that Samsung is shifting its efforts toward the newer DRAM generation, given the memory semiconductor supercycle that's upon us. This will secure Samsung higher revenue in the coming year as DRAM prices...
