New Galaxy Z Fold 7 leaks may give first real look at Samsung’s slimmer foldable

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been given the thinner, sleeker glow-up we expected, if leaked hands-on photos are any indication. The trio of images posted by leaker @Jukanlosreve seemingly show what the next-gen Galaxy foldable will look like in the real world from a few different angles. The new photographs mostly line up with what we’ve seen in previous renders, including the larger, slimmer chassis that’s reported to be around 4.5mm thick when open. That’s slimmer than its 5.6mm Gal

The US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history

The US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history and may not be done falling yet. The greenback is down more than 7% this year and Morgan Stanley predicts it could fall another 10%. A weaker dollar could make US exports more competitive, boosting Trump’s plan to rebalance US trade, but makes imports more expensive, adding to the sting of tariffs. The question ahead is whether the dollar doesn’t just lose its value, but its role at the center of the global financial system. So far,

One UI 8 gives you more control over where your Secure Folder apps pop up

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Secure Folder lets you lock files and even entire apps behind an extra layer of protection. One UI 8 has already started improving how Secure Folder is accessed, with a quick lockdown shortcut. Now we’re seeing Samsung add new settings for Secure Folder apps in your share sheet. Samsung likes to present its Galaxy smartphones as particularly secure devices, and has long leaned on its Knox security framework to highlight those features. That incl

Samsung tri-fold’s eye-watering price tag may not be the only thing stopping you from buying it

AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s tri-fold phone, rumored to be called the Galaxy G Fold, is said to begin production in September and be launched in Q4 2025, according to a new report. It is also said to feature a 10-inch OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, and a 200MP primary camera, but may have a smaller battery than the competing HUAWEI Mate XT.

As Samsung tests the tri-fold waters, a major rival is readying a second-gen model

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR HUAWEI is reportedly planning to launch its next-generation tri-fold phone later this year. This successor to the Mate XT Ultimate Design could arrive before Samsung’s first tri-fold even hits the shelves. The new HUAWEI foldable is expected to improve on the Mate XT’s durability and performance. Today’s leaks may have given us clues that Samsung’s first tri-fold foldable is edging closer to release, but it seems like one of its top competitors may alread

Samsung’s official Galaxy Z Fold 7 cases leak, and there’s a carbon fiber surprise

TL;DR A new leak has revealed all the official cases Samsung could offer for the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 shows up in real-life images for the first time

Evan Blass TL;DR The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has appeared online in real-life hands-on images. The image shows Z Fold 7 in a blue shade, which is much lighter than the blue of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While the displays remain hidden, Samsung appears to have moved the SIM tray to a different location. The Galaxy Z Fold 7’s launch is just around the corner, which means we are seeing an increasing number of leaks. Earlier today, we witnessed the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 leak with cases, adding to the ar

What to expect at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked next week

Samsung has announced that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will be taking place on July 9 at 10AM ET. This is the third major Unpacked event of the year, following launches of the Galaxy S25 series in January and, more recently, a virtual unveiling of the Galaxy S25 Edge. This time, if previous years are any indication, the company should be showing off new foldables and wearables. A lot of it may be business as usual, but the company has hinted that some possibly exciting new additions are in t

This crazy thin foldable embarrasses the Galaxy Z Fold 7 even before its launch

Honor TL;DR HONOR has launched the Magic V5 and claims it to be the “world’s thinnest foldable.” The Magic V5 beats the OPPO Find N5, which previously held the thinnest foldable’s title, and will also beat the Galaxy Z Fold 7, given the latter’s rumored thickness is true. The biggest drawback of the HONOR Magic V5 is its limited availability and the low probability of its coming to the US. In merely half a decade since the first foldable phones started hitting the market, the segment has got

The Bands of ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Are Having a Charts Battle in Real Life Too

Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation’s K-Pop Demon Hunters is currently topping the streamer’s most-watched rankings, and in a funny life-imitating-art moment, the soundtrack’s leading singles from the film’s songwriter EJAE are now battling it out on the Billboard 100. In the film, the heroic Huntrix, who fight demons by stage light, are fan-favorite K-pop performers who find themselves facing a big threat when a new boy band goes viral. Unfortunately, the handsome and debonair Saja Boys also h

A Foldable iPhone Needs to Be At Least This Thin or It’s DOA

Feels like just yesterday that folding phones weren’t even a thing, and now we’re somehow drowning in a sea of crease-filled screens. If, like me, you’ve been wondering what else phone makers can offer the folding phone market that hasn’t already been done, then Chinese phone maker, Honor, may have an answer for you: thinness. The Honor Magic V5, which was just unveiled, has retaken the title for the thinnest foldable on the market, which sets a new bar, not just for Samsung—the most iconic fol

Tesla Q2 2025 sales dropped more than 13% year over year

Tesla sold 384,122 electric vehicles during the months of April, May, and June of this year. That's a double-digit decline compared to the same three months of last year—itself no peach of a quarter for a car company with a stratospheric valuation based on the supposition of eternal sales growth. The automaker faces a number of problems that are getting in the way of that perpetual growth. In some regions, CEO Elon Musk's right-wing politics have driven away customers in droves.

China's Honor launches new challenge to Samsung with thin foldable smartphone and a big battery

My biggest Z Fold 6 regrets after a year - and what Samsung must fix for the Fold 7

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one. While the cover screen has grown over time, the overall candy bar-style form factor has remained mostly untouched. While brands like Honor, Vivo, and Google have released slimmer foldables, Samsung has stuck to steady, incremental upgrades, resulting in a sturdy hinge that holds at almost any angle and polished software for productivity. Also: Samsung offers $1,000

‘The Old Guard 2’ Is a Tender Sophomore Stretched Thin by Sequel Syndrome

After years of production delays, Netflix and Skydance are finally poised to release The Old Guard 2, the Charlize Theron-led sequel to the 2020 adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández’s Image Comics series. Directed by Victoria Mahoney, the sequel reunites its immortal mercenary found family for another globe-trotting mission. Unfortunately, this time around, their greatest threat isn’t its new immortal big bad and its long-awaited grudge match. It’s the sequel’s narrative inertia that’s

The U.S. Space Force Wants Industry Ideas for Space-Based Missile Interceptors

In May, President Donald Trump selected a design for the Golden Dome—a space-based defense system designed to protect the U.S. from foreign missiles. Though some experts consider it a pipe dream, Trump claims he can build it in three years. The United States Space Force is already getting the ball rolling. According to a June 27 request for information (RFI), the Space Force is conducting market research on space-based interceptor capabilities for missile defense. The RFI aims to gather informa

Ford EV sales fall 31% while hybrids rise

Ford saw a 31% drop in U.S. sales of electric vehicles in the second quarter of 2025, led by a collapse of E-Transit vans and declining popularity of the F-150 Lightning. At the same time, hybrid sales jumped more than 23% compared to last year. Halfway through the year, and the company has sold just 38,988 electric vehicles — down nearly 12% from where Ford’s EV sales stood at the same point in 2024. That’s despite overall sales being up, thanks in part to the company’s aggressive employee pri

I Found the Best Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Rumors for the Fold 7, Flip 7 and Watch 8

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is a week away and I expect to see new foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 as well as new Galaxy Watches. Remember when July was a quiet month for tech? Not anymore. Samsung was one of the first companies to launch a foldable phone, but over the past few years, competitors including Motorola and Google (as well as Chinese brands such as Honor, Oppo and Xiaomi) have released their own flips and folds that improve or solve many of the shortcomi

The best foldable phone you can buy

is a reviewer with 10 years of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview. A foldable phone isn’t for the faint of heart. They’re generally heavier, pricier, and have less capable cameras than a standard slab-style phone. And while they’re far less fragile than when they first debuted, foldables are still susceptible to the kind of damage a regular smartphone can shrug off. You really don’t want any du

How and Where to Recycle Your Old Computers and Printers

Everyone's got old, unused devices sitting around their homes. It can be weirdly difficult to get rid of your old laptop, desktop or printer -- even when it's been over a decade since you last switched it on. But recycling old tech can free up a lot of space in your home. A recent CNET survey found that 31% of US adults are still holding onto unused old devices, including laptops, because they're unsure of what to do with them. The survey also found that 19% of respondents just toss old devices

Breville Luxe Brewer Review (2025): Good Drip, Real Cold Brew

The new Breville Luxe Brewer is designed for hot coffee. It makes excellent, subtle, hot drip coffee. But it also does something that almost no other fancy coffee maker on the market achieves. It makes real cold brew coffee—the sweet and gentle stuff, the cool elixir of smooth summers and milky heaven. The Luxe is part of a new generation of drip coffee makers that has helped transform drip coffee from bitter office fuel into a subject for connoisseurship. The Luxe's predecessor, the Precision
