Samsung may have accidentally revealed its tri-fold’s name, and it’s not very exciting

TL;DR Samsung has filed a trademark for its upcoming triple-screen foldable. The filing reveals the name “Galaxy Z TriFold,” but we’re skeptical of this being final. The foldable is rumored to launch in October, but with availability limited to China and South Korea. Samsung’s progress on a new style of foldable with three inner screen faces instead of two is no longer a secret. It has repeatedly teased the new shape and even showcased a working prototype at Mobile World Congress 2025 of what

Slack is getting a host of new AI tools

The company is introducing a series of tools aimed at improving productivity and improving team communication.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: Foldable phone nirvana (for a price)

After several generations of iterative updates, it feels like Samsung tossed the Galaxy Z Fold 7 into a Hyperbolic Time Chamber to create a stunning device that's leaner, stronger and more powerful than before. The best part though is the phone looks and functions just like a regular handset now that there’s less bulk to lug around. But at a moment's notice, it can go Super Saiyan by opening up to reveal an even larger 8-inch display to become a true multimedia Raidboss. Unfortunately, it's stil

An Engineer’s Diary Reveals the Human Cost of Building OpenAI’s Next Big Thing

Behind the seemingly magical abilities of OpenAI’s technology lies a story of intense human effort and immense personal sacrifice. In a candid reflection posted on July 15, former top engineer Calvin French-Owen peeled back the curtain on the company’s high stakes culture. He detailed a product launch that was “unquestionably one of the highlights of my career” but also the “hardest I’ve worked in nearly a decade.” French-Owen is a seasoned tech leader who cofounded the successful data company

Best T-Mobile Plans: How to Choose and Which Ones to Pick in 2025

The T-Mobile Essentials Saver plan offers unlimited data usage and includes 50GB of "Premium" data, which is the fastest-capable 5G rate available in your area. After 50GB, speeds are reduced to 3G levels for the remainder of the month. However, that Premium may not always be so premium: T-Mobile notes in the fine print that "Essentials customers may notice speeds lower than other customers and further reduction if using >50GB/month, due to data prioritization." You can use your phone as a mobi

Slack says its AI can make sense of your company’s jargon

Slack is using AI to help business users quickly understand confusing company language and concentrate on their most important tasks. The communication platform announced that it will “soon” be adding a feature that explains workplace jargon, and an AI writing assistant for Slack canvases that automates repetitive writing tasks like summarizing conversations and note-taking. The AI message context feature will instantly explain messages that contain an acronym or unfamiliar phrase when the user

Slack bolsters search with AI, adds transcriptions and summaries for huddles

As the race to bake in AI features into productivity apps intensifies, Slack is bolstering search on its app with AI features, adding transcription and summaries for huddles, and a way to see recaps of channels and threads. Using AI, Slack now lets you search across channels as well as connected apps (like Google Drive, Salesforce and Teams) to surface relevant files and conversations.

Crypto accumulator DeFi Development to expand globally by franchising its Solana treasury model

DeFi Development , a company vying to be the MicroStrategy of Solana, is expanding internationally through a franchise model. The company plans to partner with others looking to operate their own Solana treasuries with DeFi's support. In return, DeFi Development will retain an equity stake in each regional vehicle. The initiative will be branded DFDV Treasury Accelerator. "Most crypto treasury vehicles today are following the MicroStrategy model. What excites us about DFDV is that they're not

How to make Android look like iOS 26, for better or for worse

Apple debuted its new design language for iOS 26, dubbed Liquid Glass, to a mixed reception in June. While some people enjoyed the new transparent icons and light refraction effects, others — including Android Authority‘s Robert Triggs — criticized it as an “accessibility nightmare.” But that hasn’t stopped many Android users from trying to emulate the new design on their own smartphones. And thanks to the customization features of Android and the ability to choose a different launcher, getting

Don’t be duped: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile’s cheapest plans aren’t worth it

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Recently, my cousin asked me whether Verizon’s myPlan Unlimited Welcome was better than his legacy plan, prompted by a promotional email he received. At first glance, the new plan looked cheaper and similar in features. But upon closer examination, his legacy plan had notable advantages, especially higher-priority data and a few other perks. Truthfully, none of the entry-level postpaid plans from Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T offer great value in 2025. There ar

The New Intern on Wall Street Is an AI, and It’s Already Taking Jobs

The transformation underway in finance should give pause to anyone who still thinks artificial intelligence is a distant threat. On July 15, Wall Street met its most overqualified and tireless intern. AI safety and research company Anthropic, a chief rival to OpenAI, unveiled its new “Financial Analysis Solution,” an enhanced version of its Claude AI assistant designed to take over the research, modeling, and compliance grunt work that finance teams typically rely on junior analysts to perform.

Everything we learned from a week with Apple CarPlay Ultra

For the 2025 model year, Aston Martin's user interface took a major step forward across the lineup, with improvements to the physical controls and digital infotainment, as well as updated gauge cluster layouts. However, the big news dropped in the spring, when Aston and Apple announced the launch of CarPlay Ultra, the next generation of Apple's nearly ubiquitous automotive operating system. Ultra extends beyond the strictly “phone” functions of traditional CarPlay to now encompass more robust v

Jack Dorsey pumps $10 million into a nonprofit focused on open-source social media

Twitter co-founder and Block CEO Jack Dorsey isn’t just vibe-coding new social apps, like Bitchat and Sun Day, he has invested $10 million in an effort to fund experimental open source projects and other tools that could ultimately transform the social media landscape.

I Finally Held a Foldable That Doesn't Feel Like Two Stacked Phones: The Galaxy Z Fold 7

Holding the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I have to remind myself this is not just any ordinary phone. The wildly thin design and wider cover screen makes this generation of Samsung's foldable feel incredibly normal, at least when it's closed. When it's unfolded, it's a whole different story. I got to check out the Z Fold 7 at Samsung's Unpacked event in New York last week, along with the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE. I've used many foldable phones, but the feel of the Z Fold 7 struck me as being the future of

Call of Duty cheaters complain after Activision launches new wave of mass-bans

Several players of the popular first-person shooter Call of Duty complained last week that they were permanently banned from the game for using a well-known cheat. Video game streamer ItsHapa wrote on X last week that Call of Duty players using ArtificialAiming, a cheat provider of more than 19 years, were the targets of a “massive wave of permabans,” referring to bans that cannot be reversed, which prevents cheaters from creating new accounts. The streamer also posted a series of screenshots f

After 6 months, I’m still not over Samsung’s lazy Galaxy S25 launch

Back in January, when Samsung launched the three main phones in the Galaxy S25 series, I wasn’t shy with my criticism. I openly wondered why the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus even exist, and pointed out how the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a nominal upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra that it’s a wonder Samsung didn’t drop the price. Surprisingly, at the time, Samsung teased that a significant part of the Galaxy S25 family was yet to come: an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight phone called the Galaxy S25

2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA feels like a real car, not a science experiment

Mercedes provided flights from Detroit to Copenhagen, Denmark, and accommodation so Ars could drive the CLA with EQ Technology. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a marked departure from Mercedes' EV efforts. Instead of a dedicated line of EQ vehicles—like the EQB, EQC, and EQS—we're getting vehicles "with EQ Technology." It started with the electric G Wagon, but the CLA is the first mainstream product to make the change. The thing is that the change is signifi

Subnautica 2’s creators sue their publisher for ‘severely’ damaging the game’s release

Top Execs Fleeing Tesla as Dark Clouds Grow

Another top executive has quit Tesla as the automaker continues a dicey and high-stakes spiral. The Wall Street Journal reports that Troy Jones, Tesla's vice president of sales, service and delivery in North America — its largest market — suddenly packed his bags after 15 years at the company. It's unclear at this point if the decision was his; at Tesla, heads can roll depending on the whims of CEO Elon Musk. Jones' exit comes during a particularly tumultuous time for the EV brand, which is su

Nothing Phone 3 teardown reveals the guts of the year’s oddest-looking smartphone

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The latest JerryRigEverything teardown looks into the durability and reparability of the Nothing Phone 3. Scratch resistance is nothing to write home about, but the phone withstands bending quite well. Getting the rear glass off looks a little challenging, but past that, disassembly goes quite smoothly. For all the complaints we tend to hear about modern phones not offering nearly enough variety, so far this year has brought us some pleasantly anomalo
