Everything Samsung Announced at Its Summer Galaxy Unpacked Event

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-10-15 07:00:00

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 brings back the Classic version for the Watch8 series

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-15 07:00:00

Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch8 smartwatch today at its Unpacked July 2025 event, along with the Galaxy Watch8 Classic version with a rotating bezel, which made a comeback after a year’s gap. Both watches have undergone a design overhaul and now resemble the Galaxy Watch Ultra, launched last year, which had a squarish case around a circular bezel. The Galaxy Watch8 gets a screen upgrade with a brighter display that can have a peak brightness of 3,000 nits as compared to 2,000 nits on the Wat

Samsung launches Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, adds a cheaper Z Flip7 FE to its foldable lineup

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-15 07:00:00

For the past few years, Samsung has released two foldable phones at its Unpacked event. This year, however, the company has added a cheaper model, the Z Flip7 FE, to the lineup, which sees the new Z Fold7 and the Z Flip7 taking up the foldable flag for the Korean hardware giant. Samsung has once again sought to make its phones thinner, though the new models are thinner than last year’s iterations. The company has also updated the pricing: the new Z Fold7 is $100 costlier than the Z Fold6, reta

Federal ‘click to cancel subscriptions’ rule struck down in court [U]

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-15 15:54:53

A “click to cancel” law was last month passed in California, and now the FTC has ratified a federal rule designed to achieve the same goal. The idea of both is to force companies to make it as easy to cancel an online or app subscription as it is to sign up in the first place. Update: Following a court challenge, the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the rule.

Phrase origin: Why do we "call" functions?

news.ycombinator.com Arthur O Dwyer 2025-10-15 07:04:45

On StackExchange, someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind: Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back. Calling a function is like calling for a servant — a summoning to perform a task. Calling a function is like making a phone call — we ask a question and get an answer from outside ourselves. The true answer seems to be the middle one — “calling” as in “calling up, summoning” — but indi

4.6B Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment

All this suggests that there is a chance for a deep reordering of the earth’s power systems, in every sense of the word “power,” offering a plausible check to not only the climate crisis but to autocracy. Instead of relying on scattered deposits of fossil fuel—the control of which has largely defined geopolitics for more than a century—we are moving rapidly toward a reliance on diffuse but ubiquitous sources of supply.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Smartwatches have been around in some form for a little over a decade, and while Wi-Fi-only models remain the most common, there is growing interest in cellular watches as well.

These images show the same design as last year’s S24 FE, but upgraded wireless charging with Qi2 without the magnetic accessory support.
