Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE vs Motorola Razr (2025): I know which one I’d buy

If there’s one thing I like, it’s a flip phone. If there are two things I like, they’re flip phones and good values. For a long time, only one device checked both boxes, and it was Motorola’s base-level Razr. Now, though, there’s a new competitor in town: Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. At a glance, it looks like everything that a Samsung fan on a slightly tighter budget might want, yet I can’t see it pulling me away from the Razr that I already like so much. Here’s why in a battle of the Samsung

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks amazing, but I’m not buying it for one simple reason

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is official, and I have to admit: it looks phenomenal. I’ve dabbled with Samsung’s folding phones here and there as part of my job, but for one reason or another, I’ve never been compelled to buy one myself, either because of unwieldy designs, underwhelming cameras, or something else. Looking at the Z Fold 7, however, Samsung has checked just about every box for what I want in a folding phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is dramatically th

Samsung drops Snapdragon for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — here’s why it makes sense

After months of speculation about the status of Samsung’s custom Exynos chip program, we finally have an answer — it’s alive and kicking inside the new Galaxy Z Flip 7. This includes customers in the US, who had previously only been treated to a modern Exynos chip in the Galaxy S24 FE. However, this choice leaves Samsung with two different chips inside its latest flagship foldable portfolio. The Exynos 2500 is in the Z Flip 7, but Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite powers the Galaxy Z Fold 7. But wh

Wireless Emergency Alerts system was used for the Texas floods – but several problems

Authorities came under fire when it was suggested there were no warnings of the flash floods in Texas, which resulted in at least 120 lives being lost, with many more people still missing.

Samsung plans to launch its trifold smartphone by the end of 2025

Subnautica 2's early access release delayed to 2026 amid developer drama

Subnautica 2 is one of the most highly anticipated games around. It's the second-most wishlisted game on Steam behind (you guessed it) Hollow Knight: Silksong. However, you'll need to wait longer than anticipated to try Subnautica 2 in four-player co-op, as the survival game's early access release has been delayed until early 2026. Developer Unknown Worlds said that community members who took part in playtests provided positive feedback about the story, creatures, environment and general direct

EU regulators are once again investigating TikTok over data transfers to China

TikTok is in more regulatory hot water. Only a couple of months after it slapped TikTok with a hefty fine over data transfers to China, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) is opening a fresh investigation into the platform. During the previous probe, TikTok claimed that European Economic Area (EEA) user data was stored on servers outside China. It said that TikTok staff in China accessed such data remotely. The DPC concluded the investigation on April 30 and fined TikTok 530 million euro

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs. Z Flip 6: I used both models, and there's a clear winner

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung this week introduced its newest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Fold 7. These devices feature updated specifications, resulting in a thinner, lighter, and more powerful design. You might be wondering if these updates justify an upgrade, especially if you own a previous model like the Galaxy Z Flip 6, or if you're considering a flip phone for the first time.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin right now. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box.

TikToker Launches Fake ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Tour Website That Redirects to Photos of Trump With Epstein

The Trump administration recently launched “Alligator Alcatraz,” a migrant detention center based in Florida whose name references the region’s native population of scaly reptilians. Americans have been left with little to do about the situation other than react with horror and amazement or, in the case of one TikToker, a desire to spin the dystopian situation into comedy gold. Lisandra Vazquez, a TikTok comedian with nearly a million followers, recently decided to troll the president’s support

Samsung’s Z Flip Won’t Be Perfect Until It’s as Thin as the Z Fold 7

Samsung's flip-style foldable phone is so close to perfection. Despite the new look, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a far-too-similar foldable to the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The new clamshell phone has a larger exterior screen that integrates (with a heavy sigh) Google Gemini, but compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Z Flip 7 is still thick enough that it will protrude like a bony crag from any user’s thin pockets. I understand why Samsung places so much emphasis on its expensive flagships, but the fact is th

The best Prime Day deals on Verge-favorite 4K Blu-rays

One thing to note — and you may already be aware of this — is that you need a 4K Blu-ray player to play 4K Blu-rays. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X can both serve as a basic option, but we thought you’d like to know that Panasonic’s solid UB420-K 4k Blu-ray player is also down to $229.72 (normally $250) at Amazon. If you’d like to take a gamble on a returned “like new” model through Amazon Resale (formerly Amazon Warehouse), Prime members can get one for just $148.79 before tax.

Cameo’s birthday reminder app, Candl, is a weak attempt at a comeback

Around this time last year, Cameo hit a significant low point. Its valuation dropped by at least 90%, and the company’s dire financial situation meant it was unable to pay a $600,000 fine from the FTC. Now, the company behind the celebrity greeting app is exploring a new, albeit somewhat dull, avenue for growth. On Thursday, Cameo announced the launch of Candl, a birthday planning app designed for forgetful users who want to celebrate their friends’ birthdays without being late to the party. I

This tool strips away anti-AI protections from digital art

To be clear, the researchers behind LightShed aren’t trying to steal artists’ work. They just don’t want people to get a false sense of security. “You will not be sure if companies have methods to delete these poisons but will never tell you,” says Hanna Foerster, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and the lead author of a paper on the work. And if they do, it may be too late to fix the problem. AI models work, in part, by implicitly creating boundaries between what they perceive as d

China’s energy dominance in three charts

So while we all try to get our heads around what’s next for climate tech in the US and beyond, let’s look at just how dominant China is when it comes to clean energy, as documented in three charts. China is on an absolute tear installing wind and solar power. The country reached nearly 900 gigawatts of installed capacity for solar at the end of 2024, and the rapid pace of building has continued into this year. An additional 198 GW was installed between January and May, with 93 GW coming in May
