Apple accidentally helps promote Samsung’s new foldable

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Apple support account accidentally posted a Galaxy Z Flip 7 promo video on Weibo. The post was quickly deleted, but not before it was spotted and shared by others. You don’t expect to see Apple promoting Samsung’s latest phone from its official accounts, but that’s apparently what happened on Chinese social media.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 review: more of a good thing

is a reviewer with over a decade of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview. It’s the flip phone paradox: if you want to be more mindful about your mobile device usage, you need more screen, not less. I know. But I swear it’s true: with a bigger cover screen, you get more than just a new way to check notifications. You can actually get shit done. Things that are annoying or even impossible to do on

5 phones you should buy instead of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Samsung’s new folding phones are all officially on sale, meaning you can now readily get your hands on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. The Fold 7 and Flip 7 are both shaping up to be excellent upgrades, but the Flip 7 FE is quite strange. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is Samsung’s first attempt at a “budget” foldable, and while the intent behind the phone is good, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The Flip 7 FE is essentially a

Considering Samsung's new Z Flip 7? Why I recommend waiting for next year's model

zdnet.com Jason Howell 2025-12-29 12:15:18

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Having spent a few days with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I can easily say that it's Samsung's most polished clamshell foldable to date. The expanded cover screen finally feels complete, DeX support is an incredible bonus on such a tiny footprint, and its battery life got a solid bump up. But while the Z Flip 7 closes the gap with rivals like the Moto Razr Ultra, it's worth looking ahead to what next year's Z Flip 8 might bring. Apple reportedly has plans to bring its flavor of fol

A ‘Grand Unified Theory’ of Math Just Got a Little Bit Closer

“We mostly believe that all the conjectures are true, but it’s so exciting to see it actually realized,” said Ana Caraiani, a mathematician at Imperial College London. “And in a case that you really thought was going to be out of reach.” It’s just the beginning of a hunt that will take years—mathematicians ultimately want to show modularity for every abelian surface.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 review: More screen, more battery but something's missing

Samsung’s annual foldable refresh includes a trio of devices this year. While the Z Fold 7 comes with a top-tier processor and cameras, the Z Flip 7 carries over many technical details from its predecessor. In fact, the most significant upgrade this year is a more expansive front display, or Flex Window, as the company prefers to call it. Samsung has also, somehow, added an even bigger battery to a slimmer foldable, which is technically impressive. However, the company made minimal software add

UWB is a wireless technology that enables highly precise location tracking for features like digital car keys and Google’s Find Hub.
