Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Foldable Perfection That’s Tempting Me to Leave My iPhone

2025 Disregard the fact that there’s a whole world of Chinese-made book-style foldables as thin and light as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 that Americans can’t buy, and Samsung’s latest phone-to-tablet foldable is what we’ve been waiting for. It only took Samsung six years to make its flagship foldable as svelte as a regular bar smartphone, but the Z Fold 7 delivers in all aspects. The only thing that holds it back is the $2,000 price tag, a $100 increase over last year’s Z Fold 6. See Galaxy Z Fold 7 a

More Qi2.2 chargers are here, but here’s why you should wait before buying one

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority TL;DR More products have been launched with Qi2.2 certification, promising wireless charging speeds at up to 25W with compatible devices. However, very few current smartphones officially support Qi2.2, but more are coming soon. More Qi2.2-certified accessories are also expected in the run-up to the iPhone 17 series launch, which will help widen product choice and stabilize prices for this bleeding-edge tech. UGREEN recently launched the new MagFlow Magnetic

Peter Thiel just bought a big stake in Tom Lee's ether company and the shares are surging

Peter Thiel, president and founder of Clarium Capital Management LLC, holds hundred dollars bills as he speaks during the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, Florida, U.S., on Thursday, April 7, 2022. Shares of the ether treasury company Bitmine Immersion Technologies surged Wednesday after tech billionaire Peter Thiel disclosed a 9% stake in the firm through his venture capital firm Founders Fund. The stock was last higher by 12% but rallied as much as 20% at one point. Companies with a similar

ITC ban on BOE displays understood not to affect iPhones [U]

There’s been speculation that a legal ruling could see Apple banned from selling iPhones made with Chinese displays within the US, but it is our understanding that this is not the case. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has upheld a complaint by Samsung that China’s BOE had stolen trade secrets relating to OLED screens, and banned the import of products containing these … The ITC ruling The ITC has the power to ban companies from both importing products into the US, and selling th

I’m Rewatching All of the ‘What You Did Last Summer’ Films Before the Reboot. Here’s How You Can Stream Them

I was just an elementary school kid when I Know What You Did Last Summer first fell on my radar, and I was hooked (pun fully intended), even though it wasn’t until several years later that I actually watched the entire film. The 1997 movie plays out a bit like Scream without the self-aware humor, which makes sense considering that Kevin Williamson penned the screenplays for both movies. Despite its more straightforward slasher approach, the movie’s summer setting makes it a fun, warm-weather wat

The Galaxy Watch 8 Pissed Me Off, but I'd Still Recommend It

CNET’s expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. The Running Coach on the Galaxy Watch 8 needs to be kicked to the curb. I'm not expecting an Olympic endorsement deal anytime soon, but after 20 years of running (four half marathons, multiple 10K and 5Ks), I'd hope to graduate beyond "beginner." Not according to Samsung's latest watch. Either it's using a rigid set of criteria to assign training plans, or

Google Drive could get seamlessly smarter about your PDF documents (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on bringing automatic PDF summaries to Google Drive’s PDF viewer on Android. The summary will appear at the top of the document pane without user interaction. Users can provide feedback on summaries and interact with Gemini for more answers. We’ve previously spotted that Google Drive on Android could soon serve PDF summaries through the PDF viewer. While the control given to users is excellent, there was potential to streamline the

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

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

Apple likely to be banned from selling iPhones made with Chinese displays

A legal ruling could see Apple banned from selling iPhones made with Chinese displays within the US. The ruling is not yet final, but looks very likely to take effect later this year. Apple would be banned from the US sale of any iPhone whose display was made by China’s BOE, after the company was found to have stolen manufacturing techniques from Samsung … Apple sources iPhone displays from three companies: Samsung, LG, and BOE. Samsung accused BOE of infringing on its trade secrets, and filed

Don't Make the Job Hunt Harder. 9 Strategies to Stay Sane and Get Hired

From ghosting to burnout, experts share how you can land a job in a brutal market. Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNET Stephanie Wandell applied to hundreds of jobs since getting laid off from a tech marketing role last November. When I spoke to her this summer, she'd been ghosted by recruiters and hadn't received any offers. "I was a little bit naive going into it, thinking I could do what I always do and depend on applying to as many places as I can," said Wandell. "It became pretty clear that this time

Bedsure's Bamboo Cooling Sheets Are Silky Soft, Durable, and Cheap

I’ve met many supposedly “cooling” sheets in my time as a mattress and bedding tester, and I have been disappointed more often than not. A cooling mattress can’t do all the heavy lifting with temperature regulation, and I’ll forever emphasize that your choice of bedding matters just as much—which is why I'm an unapologetic sheet snob. Which brings me to Bedsure, a brand I stumbled across on Amazon in a last-ditch effort to find some decent sheets when mine bit the dust (rather, my dogs bit holes

Google’s Discover page now summarizes news with AI

Google is rolling out AI-generated summaries directly within Discover, its personalized news feed nestled within the Google Search app. TechCrunch reports that some users in the US are seeing Discover cards on iOS and Android that provide the new summaries in place of a headline and logo from a single publisher, similar to how AI Overviews appear at the top of results in Search. It acts to further obscure news sources at a time when search traffic to publishers is disappearing. The AI summaries

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Is Back: How to Watch Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah's Final Season

It's not summer without you. Jenny Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty is back this week for its third and final season. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the final installment for more than a year now, and from what we've seen in the official season trailer, this is bound to be another drama-filled summer -- there might even be a wedding? The show is based off the book trilogy of the same name by Jenny Han, who has been executive producing the TV series. Isabelle "Belly" Conklin (Lola Tung) kicks o

What the Post-Credit Scenes for 'Superman' Mean for the Future of DC's Cinematic Universe

It's official -- James Gunn's new Superman movie is officially a blockbuster hit, earning $125 million in the US during its first weekend. If you're a fan of other Gunn movies like Suicide Squad or Guardians of the Galaxy, you'd best grab your tickets for this relaunch of this new DC Universe before they're all sold out. Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie isn't an origin story; it picks up when Superman i

'Click to Cancel' Is Dead. Here Are 3 Other Ways to Find and Cancel Unwanted Subscriptions

The Click to Cancel rule is supposed to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up for one. Viva Tung/Getty Images It's easy to rack up streaming subscriptions and other monthly services with just a few taps or clicks. Cancelling them, however, can be a bit trickier. The Federal Trade Commission's "click to cancel" rule would have made it easy to cancel unwanted subscriptions. However, this rule, was blocked by the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on July 8, a week before i

Whoop says FDA is 'overstepping its authority' with warning about blood pressure feature

The logo for the Food and Drug Administration is seen ahead of a news conference on removing synthetic dyes from America's food supply, at the Health and Human Services Headquarters in Washington, DC on April 22, 2025. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday published a warning letter addressed to the wrist wearable company Whoop, alleging it is marketing a new blood pressure feature without proper approvals. The letter centers around Whoop's Blood Pressure Insights (BPI) feature, whi

In Disney Plus’ Ironheart series, a young genius with an uncanny knack for building armored suits finds herself plunged into a shady, criminal underworld that gives her a chance to really show off her talents. Riri Williams is not Tony Stark, and while the Iron Man films clearly informed many of Ironheart’s fantastical visuals, there’

Underwriting Superintelligence

Insurance Unlocks Secure AI Progress We’re navigating a tightrope as Superintelligence nears. If the West slows down unilaterally, China could dominate the 21st century. If we accelerate recklessly, accidents will halt progress, as with nuclear power. Insurance, standards, and audits together create skin in the game for quantifying, communicating, and reducing AI risks so we can balance this tightrope. We call this the “Incentive Flywheel.” Benjamin Franklin first discovered the Incentive Fly

Webb spots 'Infinity Galaxy' that sheds light on black hole formation

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how some supermassive black holes form. Although "Infinity Galaxy" sounds like a place Thanos would hang out, it merely describes its appearance. Two compact, red nuclei, each surrounded by a ring, give the cluster the shape of an infinity symbol. What's inside is more interesting. (After all, this is a

A quick look at unprivileged sandboxing

It's a complicated topic, there are tons of options, and this only covers a tiny fraction of this topic anyway. If you spot mistakes, please tell me.

Xbox's second batch of Game Pass additions for July includes Grounded 2 and Wheel World

Xbox has confirmed the second batch of Game Pass additions for July . There's no obvious headliner here, but there are a bunch of great additions to the catalog. These include indie hits like Wheel World and blockbusters like Robocop: Rogue City. Let's get into it. Robocop: Rogue City came as a huge surprise back in 2023. A game based on a decades-old sci-fi franchise by a relatively unknown developer? It should have been a train wreck. Instead, it's a solid 3D action title that perfectly captu

I replaced my Galaxy S25 Plus with the S25 Edge (and Samsung may do the same)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Galaxy S25 Edge was my unexpected favorite phone in Samsung's S-series lineup this year. I previously wrote about how it had one major fault, but is the compact phone for content consumption in 2025. It just might not make sense to exist alongside the Plus model with the adoption of silicon-carbon batteries -- and Samsung might agree. Also: Samsung's ultra-thin Galaxy phone is a greatly misunderstood device - and I shamelessly love it According to a new report from The Ele

Subscriptions Could Be Killing Your Budget. Here's How I Saved $400 in 15 Minutes

Rocket Money saved me $400 on unwanted subscriptions. It even canceled them for me. Getty Images/Rocket Money/Amy Kim/CNET The last thing anyone wants to do in this economy is lose money. But you may be bleeding cash without even realizing it. A recent CNET study found that the average US consumer spends around $200 a year on subscriptions they aren't using. I've done it myself. It's all too easy to sign up for a free trial or service and forget about it. Subscription companies are happy to ta

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

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
