TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE now let you add more Android widgets to the cover display. The new foldable phones allow you to add up to four widgets on one screen. We initially thought that this allows you to add any home screen widget to the cover screen, but this isn’t actually the case. Update: August 12, 2025 (3:16 AM ET): Contrary to our original article below, Samsung doesn’t actually let you add any Android widget to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE cover screens. Afte

OpenAI is testing 3,000-per-week limit for GPT-5 Thinking

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-30 04:49:32

OpenAI has responded to criticism that it shipped GPT-5 with token limits to minimize cost and maximize profit not with words, but rather with a new 3,000-per-week limit. In a series of posts on X, Sam Altman confirmed that OpenAI is working on a 3,000-per-week limit for GPT-5 Thinking messages for Plus users. This will increase the reasoning rate limits available today, but OpenAI does not plan to stop at just this. Sam Altman claims that OpenAI will soon raise all model-class rate limits "a

Just because I like Pixels doesn’t mean I hate Samsung

It’s one of the oldest rivalries in the consumer world: Coke vs Pepsi. If I told you I prefer Coke, would you then assume I hate Pepsi? Any sane person would answer “no” to that question. “It’s just a preference,” they’d say. For some reason, though, that same logic doesn’t always seem to apply in the tech world, especially when it comes to smartphones.

The relevant code was actually added back in December 2024 and hasn’t changed since. There’s no indication that active feature development is underway, so don’t get your hopes up for satellite messaging.

I’d given up on Samsung’s foldables, but the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 give me faith

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-02 09:00:34

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority I thought Samsung’s foldables were dead in the water. Leading up to Unpacked, I had almost nothing to be excited about with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Z Fold 7, because I assumed they’d be more of the same. After all, that’s mostly what Samsung has done in the last few years — make a few minor updates, add new AI features, and trust you to buy them anyway because there’s no other competition. And, if that stayed true, I was all too happy to stick with a Razr Ultra in

5 bloatware apps you should delete from your Samsung phone ASAP

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung phones are well known for One UI, one of the most functional and intuitive Android interfaces. While it's highly customizable, these phones often come with preinstalled bloatware. Some built-in Samsung apps, such as Wearable and Wallet, are useful within the Samsung ecosystem. However, there are at least five first-party apps that even dedicated Samsung users rarely touch. The preinstalled bloatware apps can vary by device, price, and lineup, but many are common across

Samsung, on the other hand, is focusing on accurate health measurement systems that are already being tested for the next two generations of the Galaxy Watch.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a good flip phone. It has Samsung's best-ever cover screen hardware, a larger and wider main display, and a surprisingly thin design. But with a disappointing choice in its chipset and truly annoying cover screen software, the Flip 7 isn't an amazing flip phone.
