Samsung Fold 7 and Flip 7 replacement screen pricing makes a strong case for getting Care Plus

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-18 18:15:24

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 screen replacements will reportedly cost as much as $885 for the inner panel. While the Flip 7’s inner screen is much more affordable, even that will run nearly $400. Despite not even folding, the Fold 7’s exterior screen could cost a staggering $610 to repace. Smartphones today are at their most expensive, and while you can find plenty of very affordable options out there when it comes to traditional handsets, it’s the foldabl

My apologies, Samsung, I was unfamiliar with your Fold game

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 07:30:01

I spent a long time dismissing the Galaxy Z Fold as a ho-hum foldable that didn’t seem like it was interested in innovation. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been more of a fan of flip phones, but I never really felt like I wanted to give Samsung’s original foldable the time of day. And then, I got pushed out of my comfort zone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 arrived on my doorstep, ready for review, and I decided to make the most of my adventure. I can’t believe I waited this long.

Samsung DeX turns the Galaxy Z Flip 7 into a pocket-sized PC, but it’s missing one key feature

TL;DR The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first in Samsung’s clamshell foldable lineup to support Samsung DeX, turning it into a compact, portable PC. DeX provides a full desktop experience on an external monitor and works with a wired connection, even when the phone is closed. While a powerful addition, it lacks the ability to use the cover screen as a touchpad, a feature found on competing Razr phones.

The foldable is rumored to launch in October, but with availability limited to China and South Korea.

Samsung chairman cleared of fraud by South Korea's top court

South Korea's top court has upheld an appeals court ruling to dismiss all charges in a long-running fraud case against Samsung chairman Jay Y. Lee. The accounting fraud and stock manipulation charges stemmed from a merger of two Samsung subsidiaries in 2015. Prosecutors had accused Lee of manipulating share prices to help clear the way for the merger in an attempt to consolidate his power. In 2024, a court ruled that the prosecutors failed to prove their claims. The case has worked through the

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: Foldable phone nirvana (for a price)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-22 07:30:04

After several generations of iterative updates, it feels like Samsung tossed the Galaxy Z Fold 7 into a Hyperbolic Time Chamber to create a stunning device that's leaner, stronger and more powerful than before. The best part though is the phone looks and functions just like a regular handset now that there’s less bulk to lug around. But at a moment's notice, it can go Super Saiyan by opening up to reveal an even larger 8-inch display to become a true multimedia Raidboss. Unfortunately, it's stil

For as long as I can remember, I used whatever clock came with my phone. But over the past few years, I’ve become accustomed to Samsung Clock’s features.

This comes a week after Samsung’s mobile head said the company wants to launch the device before the end of 2025.

Back in January, when Samsung launched the three main phones in the Galaxy S25 series, I wasn’t shy with my criticism. I openly wondered why the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus even exist, and pointed out how the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a nominal upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra that it’s a wonder Samsung didn’t drop the price. Surprisingly, at the time, Samsung teased that a significant part of the Galaxy S25 family was yet to come: an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight phone called the Galaxy S25
