Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE shows us what Samsung thinks an ‘affordable’ foldable looks like

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-06 22:00:48

While foldable phones have been around for years now, relatively high prices compared to their stiff-screened brethren have meant that they’ve been an unapproachable option for many smartphone shoppers. And for the longest time, we’ve been wondering when a major player in the foldable space might finally tackle the challenge of creating a foldable phone with not just mass-market appeal, but a price tag to match. For this year’s refresh to its folding lineup, Samsung is bringing us not just its

It’s summer, and that means it’s time for Samsung’s newest foldables — the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. And the good news is that this year, the new phones don’t just offer small refinements over last year’s models. The devices have fewer compromises, feel less awkward in the hand, and the cameras are no longer playing catch-up with the mainline series. It’s clear Samsung’s folding phone lineup is finally maturing in the right direction. That said, I can’t help but feel a little cautious since t

Samsung’s Galaxy Watches have looked almost identical since the brand returned to Wear OS with the Galaxy Watch 4 in 2021, with the exception of last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra. Now the rest of the Galaxy Watch line-up is changing to match their Ultra cousin with a new shape and strap mechanism that makes the Watch 8 series the biggest redesign in Samsung’s wearable history.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series is the most widely available book-style foldable phone family. However, I’ve only begrudgingly recommended these devices to people wanting a large foldable. That’s mostly because Samsung has coasted on the design and hardware front while rivals have sprinted ahead with exciting designs and impressive hardware. After laying my hands on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though, I’d argue that in some ways, it’s the most cutting-edge foldable

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 hands-on: Bigger screens, bigger battery, better foldable?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-06 22:00:08

Once again, it’s time for Samsung’s mid-year Galaxy foldable showcase. Over the last 10 years, Samsung gave us curved edges, curved screens, and then screens that fold (both ways). While we’re still waiting for that rumored tri-fold Galaxy, Samsung has primed two new Flip foldables, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and (surprise!) the Z Flip 7 FE. First, there’s the Galaxy Z Flip 7. This year, the biggest change is a larger 4.1-inch second display with cutouts for the dual cameras. This occupies the entire

Still getting login codes via text or authenticator apps? You’re not alone—and that’s a big problem. What used to feel like a smart security layer is now one of the easiest ways for attackers to gain access to your accounts. First we were told to use SMS for MFA. Then we were told: “Don’t use SMS for MFA, use an authenticator app instead.” And while that may seem like a step forward, it’s still fundamentally flawed.
