engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-02 08:25:39

Given its buggy launch on PC and Xbox, the wait may be a good thing. Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PS5. On Wednesday, developer GSC Game World said the shooter will launch on Sony's console later this year. To say Stalker 2 had a long development process would be an understatement. We're talking 14 years here. After navigating funding issues, the studio nearly being shut down and a transition to Unreal Engine 5, it was delayed again and again... and again.

While foldable smartphones may have seemed like gimmicks in the early days, the technology has advanced enough to make the format genuinely useful. Samsung has just announced the Galaxy Z Fold 7, its most refined book-style foldable to date — a slim device that unfolds to give you access to a large display. It’s this large display that has attracted many Android fans, giving you a tablet-like experience in a small form factor. And while many apps have adapted to take the foldable format into ac

TL;DR A Samsung executive has told Android Authority that Samsung’s triple-screen or ‘tri-fold’ foldable is ready to go into production. The executive says Samsung was investigating whether there was consumer demand for the form factor. This comes after a report that Samsung could launch the device in just two markets in Q4 2025. Samsung has been working on a triple-screen foldable phone (or tri-fold, to use the misleading but popular moniker) for a while now. It teased the device at the Gala

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Hands-On: The Cover Screen Is No Longer Made for Ants

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2026-02-02 17:00:37

Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung’s Z Flip 7 feels less like a major leap forward. Announced at Unpacked, the fllp-style smartphone has the largest cover screen that Samsung’s ever put on phone that folds in half like an old cellphone, and certain specs are improved, but the dimensions still feel like the Z Flip 6. I really wish Samsung trimmed down the Z Flip 7 the same way it did the Z Fold 7. See Galaxy Z Flip7 at Samsung.com See Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Samsung.com Starting at $1,100, the Z F

Everything Samsung Announced at Its Summer Galaxy Unpacked Event

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.
