Samsung confirms Galaxy Buds Core, but U.S. fans may be left waiting
Samsung is said to be working on both Galaxy Buds Core and a Galaxy Buds 3 FE. Additionally, the Buds Core were spotted earlier on Samsung's official UAE website, which could indicate a global rollout, even though it appears the U.S. may be excluded from the release roadmap for now.

Galaxy Z Fold 7's S Pen story just got complicated
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 's official event is getting closer and closer. With the approaching timeframe, more details are leaking, completing a very-detailed-already picture of what we might expect that leaks started painting months ago. Now, a new rumor is giving us some slightly concerning information – reportedly, Samsung has run into production issues with an "unknown" S Pen. It's not clear whether this "unknown" S Pen is the one designed to work with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . However, we've heard from rumors that Samsung may have had to remove the S Pen digitizer from the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , aiming for a slimmer device (which is the latest fad). So, in order for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to still support the stylus, Samsung would've needed to go the Apple route. This "unknown" S Pen may be the new one that Samsung is working on for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . The rumor doesn't say specifically what production issues the company has run into though, but it indicates the company has stopped making the specific type of S Pen. The rumor comes from tipster @PandaFlashPro, who has a mixed track record when it comes to leaks. Nevertheless, if they are right, this could indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may launch without an S Pen available for it right away, and users who'd like to take advantage of a stylus may have to wait for some time after the Fold's release for the new S Pen. The tipster's post on X. | Screenshot By – PhoneArena Why a new S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 ? Well, as we already mentioned, Samsung may have had (according to rumors) to remove the digitizer on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for slimming purposes. That would mean a new way of registering stylus input on the display would have been needed. So a new S Pen would also need to be produced. Samsung's Fold phones have supported the S Pen for a couple of years already. Unlike the Galaxy S Ultra models, the S Pen doesn't have a dedicated slot in the foldable phone and it doesn't ship in the phone's box. People wanting to use the S Pen with the Fold need to purchase the stylus separately, and if they want to carry it around with the phone all the time, they need a special case for it. Fortunately, though, Samsung's next Unpacked event is now getting closer than ever, likely to happen on July 9 in New York City, according to prominent and reputable leaker Evan Blass. So, as you can see, we don't have to wait for too long to find out the Galaxy Z Fold 7 's S Pen situation. So far, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has leaked almost entirely ahead of its official unveiling. Recently, a dummy hands-on video showed what could very well be the Galaxy Z Fold 7 next to its predecessor. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 seems to be noticeably slimmer (just 9mm folded in comparison to 12mm on its predecessor) and looks way more modern, making the Fold 6 look, well, ancient. The phone also recently leaked in fresh renders and may ditch the under-display camera. Samsung's almighty flagship foldable may rock the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which is the chip currently in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely be introduced alongside its clamshell sibling, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and a couple of new Galaxy Watch models: the Galaxy Watch 8 series. All in all, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may come with plenty of little improvements here and there, but nothing exceptional is expected this year, apart from maybe the thin design that Samsung itself teased. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will battle the Oppo Find N5, the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and others for the title of the best foldable phone . Meanwhile, Apple is yet to release its first foldable iPhone, rumored for the end of 2026. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Exynos 2500 unveiled: 3nm GAA, Cortex-X925, bigger GPU and satellite messaging support
The Exynos 2500 was not ready in time for the Galaxy S25 series, but Samsung has put the finishing touches on it and made it official – just in time for the Galaxy Z Flip7, which will debut on July 9. The Exynos 2500 is fabbed on Samsung's latest 3nm Gate All Around (GAA) node for improved power efficiency and uses new packaging – Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging or FOWLP. This allows for a reduced chip thickness and improved heat dissipation. The CPU is a 10-core (deca-core) design with what Samsung calls a 1+7+2 arrangement. In reality, it is 1+2+5+2 as the mid-cores are split into two to reduce power consumption. Samsung is claiming a 15% higher 'big-core' performance. The CPU features one Cortex-X925 core running at 3.3GHz, two fast Cortex-A725 at 2.74GHz and five more A725 at 2.36GHz, plus a pair of Cortex-A520 cores at 1.8GHz. You can see a detailed breakdown in the table below, plus a comparison with the old Exynos 2400 and the Dimensity 9400 (non-plus). Exynos 2400 Exynos 2500 Dimensity 9400 Node Samsung 4nm 4LPP+ Samsung 3nm GAA TSMC 3nm N3E CPU Prime 1x Cortex-X4 @ 3.2GHz 1x Cortex-X925 @ 3.3GHz 1x Cortex-X925 @ 3.62GHz CPU Big 1 2x Cortex-A720 @ 2.9GHz 2x Cortex-A720 @ 2.74GHz 3x Cortex-X4 @ 3.3GHz CPU Big 2 5x Cortex-A720 @ 2.6GHz 5x Cortex-A720 @ 2.36GHz 4x Cortex-A620 @ 2.4GHz CPU Small 2x Cortex-A520 @ 1.95GHz 2x Cortex-A520 @ 1.8GHz - GPU Xclipse 940 (RDNA 3) Xclipse 950 (RDNA 3) Immortalis-G925 GPU spec 6 WGP, 4 RB 8 WGP, 8 RB MC12 NPU 17K MAC 24K MAC, 59 TOPS MT NPU 890 Storage UFS 4.0 UFS 4.0 UFS 4.0 5G Rel. 179.6Gbps FR1 12.1Gbps FR2 Rel. 179.6Gbps FR112.1Gbps FR2 NTN Rel. 17 Connectivity Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 Camera 320MP, 8K @ 30fps 320MP, 8K @ 30fps 320MP, 8K @ 30fps The GPU is an Xclipse 950, the fourth generation of AMD-based graphics. These are based on RDNA 3 (like on the previous chipset) and support hardware-accelerated ray tracing. While it's based on the same architecture, the Xclipse 950 is a bigger GPU with 8 work group processors (WGP) and 8 render backends (RB, these contain the ROPs). For comparison, the Exynos 2400 GPU had 6 work group processors and 4 render backends. This should deliver 28% higher FPS in ray tracing-enabled games. The latest chipset also brings a significant speedup to the NPU – AI tasks can leverage up to 59 TOPS, 39% more than the Exynos 2400 had to offer. This should enable more features to work on device. In terms of hardware, Samsung built a design with two 12K MAC clusters (for a total of 24K MAC), up from the 17K MAC of the old chip. Samsung beefed up the camera hardware as well – the Exynos 2500 supports AI-based image processing for sensors up to 320MP. Photos can be shot with multi-layer noise reduction and Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). The video block can record at 8K resolution at up to 30 fps. Video playback goes up to 8K 60fps and features AV1 decoding. A key upgrade to the built-in Exynos modem is support for non-terrestrial network (NTN) capabilities – this opens the door for satellite-based messaging. The 5G modem supports the latest 3GPP Rel. 17 and offers up to 9.6Gbps speeds for FR1 and up to 12.1Gbps for FR2. Local connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Samsung also says that it has improved the analog GNSS interface (for global positioning). The official Exynos 2500 page reads 'Product status: mass production'. Samsung should have enough units for the new Galaxy Z Flip7. The cheaper Z Flip7 FE might use the older Exynos 2400. Source
