These smashing Galaxy Z Flip 7 cover screen wallpapers make clever use of the cameras

Reddit user whassupbun TL;DR Some people have created exciting cover screen wallpapers for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. These wallpapers incorporate the dual cameras on the Galaxy Z Flip 7. You can download these wallpapers and apply them to your Galaxy Z Flip 7 for free. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 marks a huge upgrade over the last generation. Its new design makes it slimmer, while also increasing the real estate for both the inner and the outer screens, the latter of which now occupies almost the

I wanted to love Sony’s Xperia 1 VII, but its outdated priorities made that impossible

Sony Xperia 1 VII The Sony Xperia 1 VII packs some of the most powerful photo and video features on the market into a robust build that finally sees a long-term update pledge to match. Sadly, the camera quality doesn't always live up to the promise, and it struggles to stand out on any other merits. It'll delight a niche audience, but it's far too average for such a high asking price for everyone else. It’s been a little while since a Sony phone passed my desk, so I was chomping at the bit to g

Thank You Apple for Fixing the Camera Navigation in the Latest iOS 26 Beta

Apple released the third public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 14. It brought new features, including Liquid Glass design and call screening, to developers' and beta testers' iPhones. Thankfully, it also reverted the way you switch between photo modes in your Camera app. With Apple's redesign of the Camera app in the iOS 26 beta, the company had initially inverted the way you navigate between camera modes. So, after years of swiping in one direction to get to a photo mode, imagine my surprise when I sw

I'm Eyeing These 7 iPhone 17 Pro Max Rumors to Decide Whether to Upgrade

Every time new iPhone models roll around, I ask myself two questions: Should I upgrade this year? And, should this be the year I finally make the jump to the larger iPhone Pro Max? Some years it's a more difficult choice, such as when the iPhone 15 Pro Max was the only model with a 5x telephoto camera. But as we get closer to the iPhone 17 announcements, I just might make the leap. Here's a rundown of some of the features rumored for the iPhone 17 Pro Max that I'm most curious about. Don't mis

REI Co-op Base Camp 6 Review: All-Weather, All-Season Family Tent

When my wife and I had kids, one of the first things we did was get a bigger tent. Fifteen years ago, the nicest car camping tent I could find was REI's Kingdom 6. All these years later, that tent is still going strong (a friend is off camping in it right now), but it turned out that we never really needed all that room. I'd happily trade that room for little more strength in stormy weather, which always seem to find me when I'm camping, and a smaller footprint that will fit in more spots. That

I tried this tiny 360° camera drone, and it could be a game-changer for creators

Antigravity ZDNET's key takeaways Action cam manufacturer Insta360 has launched a new sub-brand called Antigravity, focusing entirely on drones. Its first model, the Antigravity A1, is unique in that it can record 360-degree video at up to 8K resolution. Launch date is slated for January 2026, but exact pricing is still unknown. Insta360 just announced its venturing into a new frontier: drones. Its new sub-brand Antigravity will focus entirely on camera-equipped drones, and today, it reveal

I flew Insta360’s Antigravity — it could change how drones are made

I know my way around a pair of joysticks — but I’d prefer to soar. I don’t want to think about filming while I’m flying. I’d rather explore. Now, camera maker Insta360 is launching its first drone, under a new drone company, to serve that exact demand. It’s called Antigravity, and in January 2026, it’ll ship a flying 360-degree camera whic

Now even Flip phones will get 200MP cameras

TL;DR The HONOR Magic V Flip 2 will apparently have a 200MP main camera. This would make it the first Flip phone with a 200MP camera. HONOR has also confirmed that it will have the biggest battery in a Flip phone. The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition and Galaxy Z Fold 7 were the first foldable phones to offer a 200MP main camera. However, it looks like the first Flip foldable with a 200MP camera could launch next week. HONOR has confirmed that it will launch the Magic V Flip 2 foldable phone on

I’ve always been more of a Flip fan, but the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has won me over

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be headed the wrong way on price, but it's going in the right direction for everything else. It's both slimmer and more powerful than any Fold before it, fitting the same battery and a new chipset into a body that's barely over four millimeters when open. I'd love to see one or two S Ultra-tier improvements, but there's no denying this is the foldable Samsung has wanted to make for years. I’ve been on board with foldable phones since the s

Apple, I'm Begging You: Don't Let AI Ruin the iPhone 17's Camera

AI has become an expected part of every new phone launching in 2025 and not just in the form of Gemini Live or Circle to Search. The cameras on many phones have AI baked deep into the heart of the experience too. I was taken aback by the Honor 400 Pro's image-to-video AI tool when it brought my dad back to life, while the Pixel 9 Pro focused more on generative AI to add new elements to your Images or even create new scenes out of nowhere. But the iPhones have always focused first and foremost o

Say Cheese! Here's How to Use Your AirPods to Take an iPhone Picture in iOS 26

Taking photos can be a fun way to save and share memories, but sometimes getting a good picture can be difficult. For example, if you're taking a selfie, you might find it hard to hold your phone at the right angle to get everyone in the shot while keeping your hand out of frame and still being able to press the capture button. But when Apple releases iOS 26 this fall, it will let you use your AirPods to take photos so you can just worry about getting everyone's best angle. Apple released the s

Kodak says it might have to cease operations

Investing Visual arts See all topics Follow New York — Eastman Kodak, the 133-year-old photography company, is warning investors thats it might not survive much longer. In its earnings report Monday, the company warned that it doesn’t have “committed financing or available liquidity” to pay its roughly $500 million in upcoming debt obligations. “These conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern,” Kodak said in a filing.

OCaml as my primary language

Miss the microSD slot on your phone? T-Mobile’s latest phone might be for you.

TL;DR T-Mobile has launched the Revvl 8 smartphone, the latest model in the brand’s Revvl portfolio. The new phone stands out from the previous model thanks to an upgraded chip, improved camera hardware, and faster charging. Expect to pay $199.99 when the phone goes on sale tomorrow (August 14). T-Mobile has offered its Revvl phones for a while now, and these are decent if unspectacular budget Android phones. Now, the carrier has announced the Revvl 8. So, what does it bring to the table?

The Fairphone (Gen. 6) Review: Better Than Ever

I have always loved the idea of the Fairphone. A fair-trade, repairable smartphone designed to be used for a long time, shedding the notion of upgrading every year or two. The idea makes it more environmentally friendly than every other phone. The goal is admirable, but the company's hardware always fell short in a few ways. The Fairphone 5, for example, had a mediocre camera and so-so performance. I've now been using The Fairphone (Gen. 6) for two weeks, and I don't feel like the phone is seve

Wyze's New Duo Cam Pan Eliminates Security Camera Blind Spots

Most smart cameras give you a virtual window into your yard, letting you keep an eye on your house while you're away. Yet these setups are often limited by a single camera, which can create blind spots in your security system. Now, Wyze's new smart security system includes two cameras that can cover the entire field of view of your chosen coverage area. The new camera system cancels out dead zones by combining static and motion-detecting cameras and providing the widest field of view of any Wyz

Best Home Security Cameras With Floodlights in 2025: Illuminate Your Yard

Does the camera have night vision? Does it have extra features like color night vision? Does the floodlight camera have adjustable motion detection? Does it have motion zones or sensitivity options? Does it include objection recognition for people? Are there extra costs for these features? Do you prefer a wired or wireless camera? Do you have a junction box where you want to install a wired camera or are you willing to have one installed? Can you control the brightness of the camera's floodli

James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat

As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who’s going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won’t-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages

Cloud vs. Local: What’s the Best for Security Camera Footage? (2025)

Whether you want to keep tabs on your kids, package deliveries, or pets when you’re away from home, security cameras and video doorbells are an affordable and easy way to do so. But there’s one important question to settle before deciding on your ideal home security setup: Where will you store those videos? Cloud convenience can be perfect for some, while others may prefer to keep things local and subscription-free. I’ve been testing security cameras and video doorbells for many years now, and

I fell in love with a $2,000 mirrorless camera that puts design and simplicity over everything else

This USB-C accessory unlocked thermal imaging powers on my Android and iPhone

Thermal Master USB-C Camera ZDNET's key takeaways It's the perfect thermal camera for professional and consumer use. From my testing, the camera has great accuracy and temperature resolution. While it works with Android and iOS, it's still fairly pricey at $300. $349 at Amazon I make no bones about being a huge fan of thermal cameras for smartphones. Initially, I dismissed them as a gimmick, but within minutes, I was sold on their practicality. I think they are a must-have for both engineers

The iPhone 17 Needs Amazing Cameras. Here's What I Think Apple Should Do

The iPhone 16 Pro already packs one of the best camera setups found on any phone, but the iPhone 17 needs to take things even further when it launches in just a few weeks. Sure, Apple's phones are capable of taking stunning photos, thanks to its awesome software, ProRaw format and its wealth of video skills, but Apple's rivals have been doing big things, too. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Pixel 9 Pro and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra all pack amazing camera setups that have given the iPhone 16 Pro a run for i

Even with three cameras, the Pixel 10 isn’t the Pixel phone I want

Thanks to Google’s nonchalance about early announcements, we’ve already seen how the new Pixel 10 series is going to look. The biggest upgrade by far is coming to the base model, which is, for the first time, getting a third camera lens on the back. It’s such a big upgrade that it makes the Pixel 10 the perfect phone for most people — you won’t be missing out on the usual differentiator between the Pro and non-Pro models. But here’s the thing: the Pro and non-Pro Pixels remain two different ent

OnePlus 15’s SuperBlack could be the blackest black color we’ve seen on a phone

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming OnePlus 15 may feature a brand new design, including a “black hole”-inspired aesthetic featuring the SuperBlack color and a new camera island design. The phone is rumored to come with a 6.78-inch flat LIPO display with a 1.5K resolution and symmetrically thin bezels. Other leaks suggest the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, a 50MP triple camera, and a 7,000mAh battery. Once the Pixel 10 series launches, we’re

Google Home app kills phantom offline camera alerts in latest update

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The latest Google Home app update promises smoother live streaming and more reliable camera performance by preventing phantom offline messages and reducing latency. Google has also shared release notes for the app’s previous update to version 3.37, which introduced camera tile previews and fixed multiple bugs, including one that caused the app to crash at startup.
