Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung showed its latest crop of foldable devices earlier this month, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 showing its worth at the top of the heap. It gets some notable improvements with a re-engineered hinge, a stronger interior display with ultra-thin glass and titanium reinforcement, and it's the lightest Fold yet. Also: I spent a week in New York City with the Samsung Z Fold 7 - and it spoiled me big time It's also the most expensive Z Fold in Samsung's catalog, and the company remo

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung appears to be disabling bootloader unlocking in One UI 8 on more devices than before. Previously, only US models lacked the OEM Unlock toggle, but the restriction now seems to be spreading to global models as well.

The append-and-review note 19 Mar, 2025 A few words on an approach to note taking that I stumbled on and has worked for me quite well for many years. I call it the "append-and-review note".
