The reason is straightforward: We are ingesting the equivalent of a credit card's worth of plastic every week... And there's a real way out of it!

Stop obsessing over your smartphone's specs, that's an order! On a more serious note, the strict value for money of a smartphone is a vision of tech that I find increasingly toxic. Your phone doesn't have the latest Snapdragon SoC or five 200-megapixel photo sensors? What's the big deal? Who cares?

As a former Huawei subsidiary, Honor presented us with another foldable at the Berlin IFA last week alongside the Honor Magic V2, which was teased as a "future concept phone". Read why the Honor V Purse 5G, as a smartphone that folds outwards, is straight from the past in my opinion, and why it is even misogynistic from certain points of view.

Sony used Gamescom to introduce the highly anticipated PlayStation Portal Remote Player, which was previously known as "Project Q" unofficially. The device was supposed to be available before the end of the year, and I have had this question park in my head ever since the announcement: "Why are you launching this device, Sony?" I simply do not understand the product and that's what I want to talk to you about here.

Why is there still no affordable foldable smartphone in the market? Perhaps we can phrase the question another way: why do foldable smartphones cost more than $1,000 at the bare minimum? The trickle-down effect, in technology as in real life, doesn't apply here and that's no coincidence.

Do you like wearing fitness trackers? If you answered in the affirmative, then that's simply too bad because sooner or later, you will have to bid goodbye to the simple smart bands that you wear on your wrist. Fitness trackers tend to cannibalize themselves over time. At the end of the day, only smartwatches will remain, forming an entire product category by itself. You can find out what I am ranting about and how I came up with this in my opinion piece.

To everyone's surprise, Motorola, the former Google subsidiary, unveiled two clamshell foldable handsets this year. I would like to make a rather bold claim here: these are efforts to poach a few potential Galaxy Z Flip 5 customers from the market leader Samsung. Is this the dawn of another foldable superpower, or does the attack of the foldable clone fizzle out in the vast market? This is my opinion: In the end, Samsung always wins!

Samsung did an outstanding job developing the foldable smartphone market and is by far the leader in the segment.
