Fun Tech to Watch in 2026
Foldables, Wide‑Folds, Tri‑Folds & a BlackBerry‑Style Comeback
2026 might just be the year our phones stop looking like… phones. Between wider folds, triple folds, and a surprise comeback from physical keyboards, mobile tech is getting fun again.
Let’s take a tour of the coolest devices expected this year — and what they might mean for how we work, message, scroll, and get distracted (or not).
📘 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide
— The “Tablet-in-Your-Pocket” Fold
📗 Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold
— The Phone That Unfolds… Twice
Already rolling out in places like Korea and the U.S., the TriFold is the wildest form‑factor so far. It folds out into a 10-inch tablet, has 16GB RAM, and is basically a productivity monster disguised as a phone.
Australia hasn’t been confirmed yet — but if/when it lands, prepare for every meeting to become a “let me just unfold my screen real quick” moment.
🍎 Apple’s First iPhone Fold
— Expected Late 2026
Nothing is official, but the rumour mill is louder than ever:
- A book-style fold
- ~7.7–7.8-inch inner display
- ~5.5-inch outer screen
- Apple working hard on a minimal-crease hinge
If Apple nails durability and software smoothness, this could be the moment fold-ables go fully mainstream.
⌨️ Clicks Communicator
— A Modern BlackBerry Vibe
2026’s most unexpected vibe shift: physical keyboards are back. Clicks has launched the Clicks Communicator, a cute, compact, BlackBerry‑esque phone with:
- A physical QWERTY keyboard
- 4-inch OLED
- Hardware‑level encryption
- Android 16
It’s built as a second phone — something to help you message with focus, minus endless feeds and distractions.
Because apparently some of us miss typing fwack-fwack-fwack on real keys.
