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

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-04 22:00:22

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

Intel May be Prepping a Massive Apology to Gamers

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-01-04 22:50:02

If the rumors are to be believed, Intel may be gearing up for a major apology to gamers in the form of a suite of gaming-specific CPUs. Intel has suffered through multiple crises, a CEO ouster, sweeping layoffs, and a dour outlook on the future of the once-massive chipmaker. To make its case to consumers, Intel needs goodwill, and who better to get it from than the outspoken gamer crowd? Multiple semi-reliable leakers have come out of the woodwork to talk about Intel’s plans to copy what makes

Taste testing battery-flavored tortilla chips

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2026-01-04 22:49:21

I get a lot of odd pitches in my inbox, but “9V battery-flavored corn chips” still stopped me in my tracks. My mind was ringing with questions (What? Who? Why!?!), but most importantly: What are they going to taste like? This limited edition flavor comes from Rewind, a new brand launching in Europe, starting with the Netherlands, promising to blend “nostalgia with exciting flavors.” Most of these sound pretty normal — cheese and onion, sriracha, paprika — but their nod to the “weird universal m

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s early release schedule has shaken up platform update plans across OEMs. For Samsung, a new leak clarifies that the company will launch major One UI version bumps alongside the Android platform bump, coinciding them with the launch of the Galaxy Z series flagships.
