Welcome to the eye of the storm. Last week was full of launches, next week will be full of launches. This week is a (perhaps welcome) lull.
We’re taking advantage of the breather to talk about the Samsung Galaxy A53, a mid-ranger that looks on paper to be an impressive entry in the space – and to wipe the floor with the iPhone SE. But is it all it’s hyped up to be?

This week has seen a spate of new rumours surrounding not only that phone but also the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4, a new Oppo clamshell foldable, the next Xiaomi foldable, and more.
