If you're concerned about how durable Samsung's foldable phones are, I'm here to tell you not to worry. And that's especially true when it comes to the new Galaxy Z Flip 7, which holds its own among today's best smartphones. After less than six hours with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I accidentally performed my own informal drop test. At a catered affair in Brooklyn, I walked outside to get a view of the waterfront, and when I pulled the Z Flip 7 out of my pocket, I fumbled it. I watched helplessly as

Samsung Galaxy S26 series leak hints at an Edge future (again)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-05 12:27:05

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly gain a 200MP main camera and a 50MP tele camera. Samsung’s middle Galaxy S26 model apparently has a 50MP ultrawide camera, much like the Galaxy S25 Edge. This ultrawide camera potentially hints at the Galaxy S26 Plus being swapped out for an S26 Edge. We already know that Samsung is hard at work on the Galaxy S26 series, and we’ve seen a few leaks already. Now, a trusted outlet has revealed some more details

This Galaxy S26 leak is bad news for small-phone lovers

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A Korean outlet reports that Samsung is working on the Galaxy S26 Edge instead of the S26 Plus. The outlet also revealed screen sizes for all three models, and the base model might get a small size bump. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is still roughly six months away from launch, but that hasn’t stopped the steady stream of leaks. It now looks like we’ve got screen-related details for all three phones. The Elec reports (h/t: Jukanlosreve on Twitter) th

The space agency released a timelapse of observations made using Parker's Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) while it passed through the sun's corona (the outer atmosphere) on December 25, 2024, revealing up close how solar wind acts soon after it's released.

Black hole merger challenges our understanding of black hole formation

Gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmic events—travel at the speed of light in every direction, eventually fading out like ripples in water. But some events are so destructive and extreme that they create disturbances in spacetime more like powerful waves than small ripples, with enough energy to reach our own detectors here on Earth.

Tesla Makes a Desperate Move in Canada As Sales Collapse

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-05 08:57:41

Tesla is making a desperate move to stay alive in Canada as its sales suffer from the fallout of Donald Trump’s trade war. In a quiet but shocking update to its website, the electric vehicle maker has drastically lowered the price of its best-selling Model Y SUV by a staggering $20,000. The move is a direct response to a brutal trade dispute that has crippled Tesla’s Canadian operations. In retaliation for tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, Ottawa slapped a 25% surtax on all cars impo

LG Gram Pro 16 (2025) Review: Thin Is Still In

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-08-05 05:00:00

Last year’s LG Gram Pro 17 was a classic study in laptop compromise. Incredibly thin and light, it was a veritable marvel of engineering that weighed in at half the heft of a typical 17-inch notebook. On the other hand, it was an unstable performance dud that ran so hot it nearly burnt the hair off my legs. The compromise scales ultimately tipped against the Gram Pro in 2024, but I’ll give credit to LG for staying the course and continuing to iterate on this design, and fixing many of the flaws

Why GM’s CEO is still betting on electric vehicles (and racing)

theverge.com Abigail Bassett 2025-08-05 04:00:00

GM was the first major US automaker to make the promise to go all-electric by 2035, just four years ago. Those promises have since turned into rough estimates under the second Donald Trump presidency, with the company softening language about its electrification goals. But GM is riding high on EV sales, and as CEO Mary Barra puts it, EVs are still the future — just on a delayed (and very flexible) timeline. “We still believe in an all-electric future,” Barra told The Verge in an exclusive inter
