Welcome to the October 2026 Edition of NXT. In this issue, we explore how foldable phones are opening up new possibilities for work, travel and entertainment.
From pocketable designs that unfold into immersive viewing screens to spacious displays built for seamless multitasking, the appeal goes well beyond a clever hinge. It’s about making everyday tasks feel easier, with versatile cameras, intuitive software and room to do more. We examine what matters when choosing a foldable that truly fits the way you live.
Our NXT Clarissa has tested out the new Polaroid Go Generation 3. Photography does not always have to be about getting the technically perfect shot.
Under the Gear section, we have featured the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo, Acer Swift Air 16 (2026), Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max and M5b Ultra), Apple Mac Mini (M6 and M5 Pro), Dell 14s, and Dyson Camerajet.
Under the Luxury section, we have featured Moto Guzzi 105th Anniversary Edition, Breguet’s Tradition Tourbillon 7047, Zenith DEFY Extreme Limited Edition, Hublot Big Bang Reloaded UEFA Champions League Titanium Ceramic.
Over in Test, from page 79, we move from mobile productivity to basketball action. First up is the HP OmniBook Ultra 14, as we explore what it brings to everyday work and life on the move.
Then there’s the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 7, a lightweight business companion that joins us on a working trip through Sydney and Melbourne. Rounding things out is our review of NBA 2K27, where we hit the hardwood to see how this year’s game plays.
Lastly, for NXT Big Thing, we jump to the year 3000, where foldable phones disappear into jewellery and clothing.
Messages glow across palms, calls become halos of light, and interfaces form around intention. It’s a vision of technology that appears only when needed, transforming the phone from something we carry into a personal digital space that opens around us.
NXT is available at all major newsstands, and the digital version is available to download at magzter.com
