This Galaxy Z Fold 7 model offers a much longer warranty

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Enterprise Edition in Europe. The phone comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty instead of the standard two-year warranty. The device is otherwise identical to the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, and it offers a more durable folding screen than previous models. What if you want peace of mind regarding any issues, though? Well, the company offers Samsung Care Plus,

A YouTuber Is Folding and Unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 Times

Folding phones are no longer a fad. But they have moving parts that regular smartphones lack, and the constant folding and unfolding could eventually lead to failure. For the last few days, the host of Korean YouTube channel Tech-it has been folding and unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 over and over and over, with the goal of doing 200,000 folds. The fold-a-thon is presumably meant to see how the redesigned hinge and flexible display hold up on Samsung's thinnest foldable yet. Tech-it's h

The Galaxy S26 Edge battery rumors just got even more promising

TL;DR A new leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Edge will have a 4,400mAh battery. That’s noticeably up from 3,900mAh in the S25 Edge and slightly more than a previous 4,200mAh claim. Both leaks point to Samsung addressing one of the biggest complaints about the S25 Edge. The Galaxy S25 Edge was one of Samsung’s most criticized flagships of recent years, and much of that frustration rightly centered on battery life. Now, we have a second clue that Samsung may address that with a beefier battery for

Samsung unveils the Odyssey G75F: a 37-inch 4K VA monitor for around $1,000

What just happened? There are so many similarly specced monitors these days that we rarely see "world firsts" anymore. However, Samsung is claiming that title with yet another new Odyssey, which it says is the first-ever 37-inch 4K display. The Odyssey G7 G75F joins Samsung's increasingly long list of Odyssey monitors, but it's the first monitor ever to combine a 37-inch panel with a 4K (3840x2160) resolution, according to the company. It's rare to see a 37-inch monitor – 32 inches tends to be

Galaxy S26 could get a hardware upgrade for much easier payments

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is apparently thinking about adding an additional NFC antenna to the top of the Galaxy S26 series. This should make it more convenient to use tap-to-pay, as you can do so via the rear or top of the phone. The Galaxy S26 rumors are trickling in at a steady pace, even though the expected launch window is roughly six months away. The latest leak has revealed that Samsung could significantly improve NFC payments like Samsung Pay or Google Wallet.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 survives JerryRigEverything’s bend test, but it’s not all good

TL;DR YouTube channel JerryRigEverything has put the Galaxy Z Flip 7 through its durability test. Samsung’s phone survived a bend test with the screen intact, and it also fared better than expected in sand and dust. Unfortunately, the Flip 7’s inner screen is easily scratched, which is in line with other foldable phones. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was recently put through YouTube channel JerryRigEverything’s durability test and fared better than expected. Now, it’s the Galaxy Z Flip 7‘s turn

Samsung could finally catch up to other Android OEMs with this navigation choice

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung could soon let you choose swipe navigation as the default while setting up a new phone. Samsung is testing a choice screen that will allow choosing between three-button navigation and swipe navigation gestures during setup. The feature is only being tested and could be introduced with One UI 8.5 on the Galaxy S26. Despite being a leading innovator in the mobile space, Samsung can sometimes resist change, especially when the mandate originates from

Someone is folding the Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times live on YouTube

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A YouTuber is currently folding and unfolding the Galaxy Z Fold 7 live on YouTube. The phone has already survived over 100,000 folds.

A truck carrying thousands of Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 units just got stolen

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A truck carrying 12,000 Galaxy phones, including 5,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 models, was stolen in London.

I bought Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 - here's why I have buyer's remorse

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is on sale for $650 in four color options. Its display is vibrant and large, the battery lasts through a couple of days, and LTE is provided at no extra cost. It comes in a single 47mm size, gesture support is limited, and external sensor connections are not supported. $649.99 at Amazon Last year's Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra was my favorite Google WearOS smartwatch, so when I saw the 2025 Watch Ultra with its new

I’ve used Pixel and Galaxy phones for a decade, and Google wins in one aspect every time

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’ve been using smartphones since 2011, and they’ve all been Samsung and Google devices (aside from a few other brands due to my job). Both companies have come a long way over the years, and while the S24 Ultra is my phone of choice for now, that may soon change for one reason. Pixels and Galaxy phones each have their strengths and weaknesses, but one thing I’ve always found Google is best at is customer support, while Samsung has more reliable devices. As I t

People interested in digital health tracking will appreciate the Galaxy Ring's minimalism, comfort, long battery life, and minimal notifications.

Samsung posts brutal financials as chip business profits plunge by 94%

What just happened? Samsung's chip division has been in trouble for months, but the latest quarterly results confirm the slump is even deeper than feared. The company now faces heavy losses in semiconductors even as other divisions struggle to keep its profits afloat. Samsung Electronics recently posted its second-quarter financial results, and they're worse than expected. According to CBNC, the Korean tech giant reported revenue of 74.6 trillion won ($53.7 billion US), slightly up from 74.07 t

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE is coming into focus, and here’s what to expect

TL;DR A new leak has revealed a more complete spec sheet for the Galaxy S25 FE. The phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, Exynos 2400 chip, and 45W charging. It looks like the selfie camera will be bumped to 12MP, and the device will weigh around 190g.

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry. And yet, I feel a sting of hesitation — a faster-

Own a Samsung phone? 10 settings I always change first for the best user experience

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've been fairly vocal recently that Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box. You need to personalize your smartphone to make it more appealing. I change almost a dozen settings on every Samsung Galaxy phone to best suit my needs, and I believe these will elevate your user experience, too.

Apple accidentally helps promote Samsung’s new foldable (Update: Apple vindicated)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Apple support account appeared to post a Galaxy Z Flip 7 promo video on Weibo. The post was quickly deleted, but not before it was spotted and shared by others. It has since become apparent that the error was caused by Weibo’s servers, rather than an Apple employee’s mistake. Update: July 31, 2025 (5:10 PM ET): It looks like Apple may not have hit the wrong upload button after all. A Chinese tech blogger says the incident was due to a Weibo client

Don’t worry, Samsung’s Android XR headset is still launching this year

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR During its most recent earnings call, Samsung has re-confirmed that its Project Moohan Android XR headset is launching “this year.” Samsung has previously hinted at a 2025 release date, and this is the latest confirmation that it’s still on track.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Breaks Record for Highest Number of Fold Preorders

Samsung's latest foldables are already making quite a statement, beyond their bold new designs -- or maybe because of them. The phone-maker said in a newsroom post Thursday that the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is its thinnest foldable yet, racked up more preorders "than any previous Z Fold device in US history." It added that both the Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7 saw a more than 25% hike in total preorders compared with last year's handsets. Carriers also saw an uptick in sales. Samsung says there was
