9 best apps for the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s large display

While foldable smartphones may have seemed like gimmicks in the early days, the technology has advanced enough to make the format genuinely useful. Samsung has just announced the Galaxy Z Fold 7, its most refined book-style foldable to date — a slim device that unfolds to give you access to a large display. It’s this large display that has attracted many Android fans, giving you a tablet-like experience in a small form factor. And while many apps have adapted to take the foldable format into ac

Confirmed: Samsung’s tri-fold device is ready to go, so why can’t you buy it yet?

TL;DR A Samsung executive has told Android Authority that Samsung’s triple-screen or ‘tri-fold’ foldable is ready to go into production. The executive says Samsung was investigating whether there was consumer demand for the form factor. This comes after a report that Samsung could launch the device in just two markets in Q4 2025.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino is stepping down after two years

Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of X, apparently effective immediately. She posted the news, naturally, on X, saying "I’m immensely grateful to [Elon Musk] for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App." She went on to say that "the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable." Reasonable minds can differ on if any of those things have happene

Google is spicing up Gemini’s home screen with a visual revamp (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new tweak to the Gemini home screen. The change expands the input box and adds a shadow. Corners now only appear on top of the input box. A few weeks ago, we told you about a change that could be coming to the Gemini home screen. That tweak would make the home screen a little more like ChatGPT’s by adding suggestion chips. But it looks like that may not be the only alteration in store for the page. Authority Insights story on Andr

Tree Borrows

The Rust programming language is well known for its ownership-based type system, which offers strong guarantees like memory safety and data race freedom. However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically and must instead be manually upheld by the programmer. This creates a tension. On the one hand, compilers would like to exploit the strong guarantees of the type system—particularly those pertaining to aliasing of pointers—in order to unlock powe

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Hands-On: The Cover Screen Is No Longer Made for Ants

Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung’s Z Flip 7 feels less like a major leap forward. Announced at Unpacked, the fllp-style smartphone has the largest cover screen that Samsung’s ever put on phone that folds in half like an old cellphone, and certain specs are improved, but the dimensions still feel like the Z Flip 6. I really wish Samsung trimmed down the Z Flip 7 the same way it did the Z Fold 7. See Galaxy Z Flip7 at Samsung.com See Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Samsung.com Starting at $1,100, the Z F

The device is the thinnest and lightest book-style foldable that Samsung has ever made and finally delivers on the idea of a smartphone that can unfold into a larger tablet without the tradeoff of carrying a brick in your pants. See Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Samsung.com You really need to hold the Z Fold 7 in your hand to believe it.

Everything Samsung Announced at Its Summer Galaxy Unpacked Event

The Fold7 measures 8.9 millimeters when folded, a drastic reduction from the 12.1-mm Galaxy Z Fold6. Unfold it, and you're looking at a minuscule 4.2 mm of thickness, down from 5.6 mm last year. Honor's Magic V5 folding phone, announced last week, beats Samsung on thinness at 8.8 mm folded and 4.1 mm unfolded, but Samsung's specs are still impressive. The Fold7 is also lighter at 215 grams, a 24-gram drop from the Fold6. It weighs less than an iPhone 16 Pro Max. What's even crazier is that the

Samsung just announced its seventh-generation folding phones, and it finally retired the long and narrow Z Fold design that it had stuck with for far too long. The Z Flip is also getting an overdue upgrade to a full-size cover screen rather than the file folder shape of the past couple generations. After years of incremental upg

The best gadgets for students under $50

There are rarely enough power outlets to charge all of the things a student needs when they need it most. If the student in your life likes to work from the library or a coffee shop often, there’s a good chance they’ve had to do the charging dance, choosing which device is most crucial to them at the moment and giving it the prime spot on the wall. A surge protector power strip like this one from Anker can eliminate that problem by giving them eight AC outlets to use simultaneously, along with t

If You’re a Mac Mini Owner, This UGREEN Dock Is a Must-Have Prime Day Deal, and It’s Going for Peanuts

Apple’s accessory game is usually pretty strong, but sometimes you find a third-party device that’s custom made for an Apple computer that works so seamlessly that it makes you wonder how Apple didn’t design it themselves.

Orb Is the Internet Speed Test Your Wi-Fi Has Been Waiting For

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet connection. When my friends or parents are experiencing an inevitable home internet slowdown, my first recommendation is always to start with a speed test. In fact, I’ve tested and used dozens of internet speed tests -- the market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test is one that diagnoses your bandwidth blues as simply as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can’t make sense of, and no

Critical CitrixBleed 2 vulnerability has been under active exploit for weeks

A critical vulnerability allowing hackers to bypass multifactor authentication in network management devices made by Citrix has been actively exploited for more than a month, researchers said. The finding is at odds with advisories from the vendor saying there is no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation. Tracked as CVE-2025-5777, the vulnerability shares similarities with CVE-2023-4966, a security flaw nicknamed CitrixBleed, which led to the compromise of 20,000 Citrix devices two years ago. The

Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web

After migrating several projects from WordPress to Astro, I've become a massive fan of this framework. What is Astro? Astro is a web framework that came out in 2021 and immediately felt different. While most JavaScript frameworks started with building complex applications and then tried to adapt to simpler sites, Astro went the opposite direction. It was built from day one for content-focused websites. The philosophy is refreshingly simple. Astro believes in being content-driven and server-fi

How to get free Windows 10 security updates through October 2026: Two ways

MicroStockHub/Getty Images With just a few months remaining until the Windows 10 end-of-support date, Microsoft seems to have belatedly realized that owners of tens of millions of consumer PCs running Windows 10 aren't ready to replace their old computers, and they're also not about to fork over $30 for a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription. So, at the end of June, just days before the end of its fiscal year, the company waved the white flag and announced new "free enrollment
