Fresh renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 surface
The downside to a thinner Galaxy Z Fold 7 handset is that the three rear cameras on the back of the device are now protruding greatly. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be thinner, but it appears that Sammy is taking a page from rival foldable makers OnePlus and Google and will make the next iteration of its Galaxy Z Fold wider. That same leak telling us to expect the phone to weigh in at 3.9mm thin also mentioned that it could be more than 10mm wider compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Latest leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z 7 Fold. | Image credit-Android Headlines, 9to5Google Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 7 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Watch 8 series on July 9th in New York City. Just today we passed along some news that some might find disappointing. A tweet from @PandaFlashPro on Thursday said that his sources told him that the upcoming foldable will not have an under-display camera (UDC) like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 did. Most likely, the poor quality of the pictures taken with this setup had Samsung deciding to return to the punch hole camera for the internal display. The thin design of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 makes the rear cameras protrude. | Image credit-Android Headlines, 9to5Google We expect the internal Dynamic AMOLED screen to weigh in at 7 inches when open. It should feature an 1856 x 2160 resolution and sport a 120Hz refresh rate. The Dynamic AMOLED cover screen will reportedly measure 6.3 inches with a resolution of 968 x 2376, carry a 120Hz refresh rate, and feature scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Under the hood, the device is expected to be powered by the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy application processor. The camera array on the back should include a 50 MP primary camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, and a 10 MP telephoto camera. The rumor mill calls for the device to come with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM along with 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Android 15 will be pre-installed and keeping the lights on should be a 4400mAh battery with 25W Wired charging and 15W Wireless charging. The color options seen in the renders include "Blue Shadow" and a black hue. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Galaxy Z Flip 7 looks worse next to rivals – and its tiny battery isn't the worst part
A leaked render of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. | Image by AndroidHeadlines As a general rule of thumb, those who want a foldable, just go and get themselves a Galaxy Z phone: be it a clamshell (that's the Flip models) or a book style that opens into a mini-tablet (that's the Fold models).You, my dearest reader– yes, you, on the other hand, have a superior knowledge of phones. You know very well that numerous foldables available beyond the Samsung realm exist, phones that are extremely capable and Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the biggest clamshell on the horizon right now: and by "biggest" I mean "most popular" (since it's Samsung we're talking about here), certainly not "best" or "the most amazing". Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7 (and with it – the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and some cool smartwatches as well) on July 9, possibly at a New York City event, per the latest reports. But are Samsung's remarkable marketing skills and intergalactic popularity enough to grant the Galaxy Z Flip 7 the crown in the flip phones' kingdom? I don't think so: and here's why. Teaser for the Mix Flip 2. | Image by Xiaomi Meet the same-sized opponent, wearing orange shorts: the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2. I'm not saying this one will come with an orange-colored rear panel, it's just that orange is Xiaomi's brand color. The more you know. So, both the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 are rumored to feature 6.85-inch internal displays. That's a plus for the Flip model, since the Galaxy Z Flip 6 featured a 6.7-inch display. Plus, the Samsung clamshell could get extra thin bezels and a slightly bigger 4-inch outer screen (up from the 3.4-inch one on the predecessor) for easier phone operations while folded. The Mix Flip 2 will also offer a 4-inch top display, inheriting it from the original Mix Flip. For the Far East rival, we'll get things confirmed earlier: in late June, if recent rumors hold true. That means the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 could be officially presented a week (or two) before the Z Flip 7 – but that's an exclusive Chinese premiere we're talking about here. The Mix Flip 2 could see a global release at a later point in time. It's obvious why Xiaomi has decided to present its upcoming clamshell in late June – obviously, they want it to compete with the upcoming Flip model (a memory refresher: this one could materialize on July 9).And compete it does. Let's dive deeper, talking about three super important (for almost anybody out there_ features of any phone – the chipset, the battery and the camera. Image by AndroidHeadlines Currently, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 rumors swing both ways and claim different things when it comes to the chipset that Samsung will use: Snapdragon 8 Elite Exynos 2500 Or, you know, Samsung could go with… both. I mean, some markets could get the Z Flip 7 with Snapdragon 8 Elite inside (probably the US), while users in other countries (like in Europe) could get the same phone, but with the Exynos 2500 a move is not unlike Samsung at all, so don't act surprised come July 9. Early Geekbench 6 scores of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 were rather disappointing, with just 2,012 points in the single-core test and 7,563 in the multi-core benchmark. For reference, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 – a phone with the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 – scored 2,251 and 7,131 in the same tests. So the Exynos 2500 might not be the brightest star in the sky. The Snapdragon 8 Elite, on the other hand, is a superior chipset and a clear upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 . Image by AndroidHeadlines Here, we have a clear victory for the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2, unless Samsung's Z Flip 7 doesn't come up with a sorcery of some kind in the form of severe software optimizations and heat management: Mix Flip 2: large 5,100 mAh capacity battery, 67W wired charging speeds and 50W wireless large 5,100 mAh capacity battery, 67W wired charging speeds and 50W wireless Galaxy Z Flip 7 : uninspiring 4,200 mAh capacity battery, 25W wired charging speeds and 15W wireless That's almost a thousand mAh difference – and I'm sure this will be felt right away in real life usage. When you take into account the charging speeds supremacy of Xiaomi's phone, it doesn't look good for Samsung at all. Both phones are expected to feature a dual rear camera setup, consisting of a 50-megapixel main snapper and an ultra-wide. The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 apparently loses the dedicated telephoto camera from its predecessor, but at least the ultra-wide will use a 50MP sensor. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could use a 12MP sensor for the ultra-wide snapper. It's 2025, Samsung, what do you mean a "twelve megapixels" camera?! Not to mention that it's a premium device we're dealing with here, have some dignity! There's more to it: true, Samsung could drop some clever AI enhancements for the Z Flip 7 , but Xiaomi's Mix Flip 2 camera is apparently (once again) developed by Leica. And this matters. On a 2024 trip to Singapore, I took just an old Xiaomi 13 Ultra (well, "old" is not very flattering, but at the time, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra was already available) and I can't express how satisfied I am with those Leica colors. Samsung will have a really tough time trying to match or surpass this. The way rumors have been shaping up, it's clear that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 (and Z Fold 7 , for that matter) will not be the revolutionary foldables from Samsung – nope, not in 2025. Rather, their next-gen devices look like another minor touch-up, although cool and useful feats are expected here and best thing about the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is probably its popularity and availability. Certain Far East phones don't get to see a global release – and people across the US (and the West as a whole) are stuck with Samsung (or Apple).I guess many are afraid to get an expensive gadget from a bit more exotic brand – although Xiaomi is super popular across the world – and just stick with Samsung down the beaten path. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 doesn't look like a "bad" or "weak" phone. Nope, not at all. Just don't let it play with rivals on the playground, because it kind of loses its magic.

Trump Says He Will Set Unilateral Tariff Rates Within Two Weeks

'At a certain point, we're just going to send letters out. And I think you understand that, saying this is the deal, you can take it or leave it,' Trump told reporters Wednesday at the Kennedy Center in Washington where he was attending a performance.

Trump delays 50 percent tariff threat to European Union until July 9
President Donald Trump has delayed imposing 50 percent tariffs on the European Union, pushing the deadline from June 1 to July 9. On Friday, Trump said he was recommending a 'straight 50% tariff' on the EU starting June 1. Trump claimed leaders had been 'very difficult to deal with' and that discussions were 'going nowhere.' Now, the president says he moved the deadline after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen requested an extension. 'I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so. The Commission President said that talks will begin rapidly.' Von der Leyen said she had a 'good call' with Trump. 'The EU and the US share the world's most consequential and close trade relationship,' Von der Leyen wrote on X. 'Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively.' Trump told reporters the call was 'very nice' while taking questions on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews. 'I agreed to do that, and she said, 'We will rapidly get together and see if we could work something out,'' Trump said of Von der Leyen. The markets dropped sharply after Trump announced the 50 percent tariffs on Friday. The S&P 500 fell 1.1 percent in early trading, the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1.6 percent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average also fell 1 percent. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump hoped the new tariff threat would 'light a fire' under EU officials in trade talks with U.S. negotiators. Trump 'believes that the EU proposals have not been of the same quality that we've seen from our other important trading partners,' Bessent told Fox News on Friday. This is a breaking news story.
