Samsung fixes the Secure Folder flaw that let anyone see what apps you’re hiding

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-25 10:30:35

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has patched a Secure Folder flaw that previously allowed anyone with physical access to see your hidden apps and photos. The vulnerability existed because Secure Folder was implemented as a “work profile,” which key system components didn’t recognize as a highly secure space. One UI 8 reclassifies Secure Folder as a “private” profile, ensuring system apps now correctly hide its sensitive files and app information from view. Samsung’s Secure Fo

New Law Would Force Aging Members of Congress to Take Cognitive Tests

The United States is changing fast. Lawmakers are being forced to grapple not just with timeless questions of governance, but often with novel and rapidly-changing policy issues ranging from cryptocurrency regulation to tech monopolies to app-based labor. That quickly shifting landscape has some doubting whether the country's aging lawmakers are up for the increasingly complicated task. The issue is stark, with a larger percentage of Congress over the age of 70 than ever before, and a long stri

Could the Galaxy Z Fold 7 really be the world’s thinnest foldable after all?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-26 09:12:51

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A side-by-side comparison shows that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may actually be thinner than the Magic V5. HONOR claims the Magic V5 measures 8.8mm, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm. The unique way the company measured the Magic V5 may explain the discrepancy. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it impressed with a thickness of just 8.9mm. This measurement was enough to have it tie with the OPPO Find N5 for the world’s thinnest book-style folda

Can Apple Actually Make a Foldable iPhone With a ‘Crease-Free’ Display?

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-07-26 21:21:22

Samsung has set the bar high for foldables with its latest Galaxy Z Fold 7. The book-style foldable really is jaw-dropping. Apple’s answer to it with a foldable iPhone needs to be even better. But how? Apple supply chain snoop Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone could come with a “crease-free display”… made by Samsung. Yes, really. You see, as thin, light, and sleek as the Z Fold 7 is, the crease running down the 8-inch folding screen is still visible. Samsung says the display

iPhone Fold could be cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or 8

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-27 15:19:36

TL;DR Apple could achieve a lower iPhone Fold manufacturing cost, allowing for a price under $2,000. The iPhone Fold could cost about 4% less to manufacture than the China-exclusive Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition from last year. This is likely possible with Apple opting for smaller screens and emphasizing less on sleekness than Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an exquisite foldable phone, but its $2,000 price likely makes it unreachable for many. While Apple is expected to enter the seg

Samsung says S Pen could return to foldables after Galaxy Z Fold 7 snub

The statement comes from the executive director of Samsung’s mobile division. The company says it may bring back S Pen support for foldable phones once its new technology is fully ready, and if there’s enough consumer demand for the feature.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Z Fold 6: Slimmer Body, Bigger Screens and Slightly Higher Price

At Samsung Unpacked in July, the phonemaker introduced its most advanced foldable yet: the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It supersedes last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6 with upgrades big and small (or rather, big and thin), but how exactly do they compare? Here's the Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy Z Fold 6 specs comparison.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold may not be skinny, but it might have a larger battery

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to have a slightly larger cover display. Google may have also increased the Fold’s battery capacity.

My First Day With the Galaxy Z Fold 7: This Foldable Finally Feels Just Right to Me

There's something slightly ironic about the superslim Galaxy Z Fold 7. Because the generous 6.5-inch cover screen feels much more normal than those found on previous versions of Samsung's foldable, I've hardly bothered opening the phone to use the sprawling inside display -- despite that kind of being the whole point. That's not a bad thing. Rather, it's a testament to how Samsung has managed to make both displays practical and useful. The cover screen no longer feels like an awkward compromise
