I've reviewed phones for 10 years. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may be the first foldable I actually buy
Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority It's been just under six years since the first Galaxy Fold launched, and in the time since then, foldable phones have become among the most interesting in the Android world. I've personally tested and reviewed many of them, including models from Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and others. But as much as I appreciate what foldables offer, and as someone who's been reviewing phones for 10 years, I've yet to actually purchase one for myself. Why? One of the main things that's kept me away is the hardware. Foldable phones have gotten significantly thinner and lighter since the first Galaxy Fold, but many of them are still bulkier than what I'm comfortable carrying every day. However, that may soon change. The latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak showcases a Samsung foldable that seems unbelievably thin. If the leak is accurate, the Fold 7 may be the first folding phone I finally spend my money on. Based on the leaks so far, do you plan on buying the Galaxy Z Fold 7? 0 votes Yes NaN % No NaN % Why the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may push me over the edge Android Headlines Android Authority Multiple leaks have now suggested that Samsung is cooking up an ultra-thin design for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with Samsung itself even teasing the design in some recent press releases. But it wasn't until yesterday's leak from OnLeaks that we got our first good glimpse of what this thin design will look like — and it's nothing short of impressive. While the exact numbers are still up in the air, previous leaks have suggested that the Fold 7 could be as thin as 4.54mm or even 3.9mm when unfolded and approximately 9.0mm thick when folded shut. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 5.6mm when unfolded and 12.1mm when folded. Android Headlines Galaxy Z Fold 7 (top) and Galaxy Z Fold 6. Those numbers have been floating around for a while now, and while they certainly sound impressive, it's different to see with your eyes the difference those millimeters make. Looking at the Z Fold 7 next to the Z Fold 6, it's hard to believe this year's Samsung foldable may actually look like this. It looks like a phone I could carry every day without issue. One I could easily slip into my pocket, use one-handed, etc. I've not felt that way about any other US folding phone to date, and it's exciting to see Samsung might get there with the Fold 7. Of course, Samsung won't be the first company to release a super-thin folding phone. OPPO launched the Find N5 earlier this year with a shockingly thin body at just 4.21mm when unfolded. And last September, the HONOR Magic V3 debuted with an equally impressive 4.4mm unfolded design. Paul Jones / Android Authority OPPO Find N5 I admire what OPPO and HONOR have done with those phones, and I say that as someone who used (and fell in love with) the Magic V3 last year. But there's a big issue with both phones: they aren't suitable for the US market. Not only are the phones not sold here, but even if you go through the trouble of importing one, you'd still have to deal with lacking carrier bands, unoptimized software, no warranty support, and so on. OPPO and HONOR's hardware is exactly what I want out of a foldable, but neither one is a realistic purchase. The Z Fold 7 will be the first super-thin foldable that makes sense to buy if you live in the US. That's precisely why the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is so exciting. It won't be the first foldable phone with a ridiculously thin design, but it will be the first one that makes sense to buy if you live in the US. It'll work with your carrier's 5G network, it'll have software that's fully optimized for the North American market, and should something go wrong, you'll have warranty and insurance options to get it fixed. Those are all things that other US foldables (like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold) already have going for them, but again, I come back to the hardware issue. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is shaping up to deliver the benefits of an established US folding phone while also offering the thin design I've been waiting for — and it may be a combination that's too powerful to ignore. Will 2025 be the year I finally buy a foldable? Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority A powerful combination indeed, but will it be enough to push me to buy my first folding phone? It's certainly getting close, though I'm not 100% sold quite yet. While Samsung's design for the Z Fold 7 seems like a surefire winner, some of the rumored specs still leave me uncertain. The new 200MP primary camera appears to be all but guaranteed, but it seems equally likely we'll be stuck with the same (and aging) 12MP ultrawide and 10MP telephoto cameras. I'm also nervous about the battery, which is speculated to remain at just 4,400mAh. Even with the impressive hardware, will I be OK with middling secondary cameras and such a disappointing battery capacity? For a phone that's likely to cost $1,900? I'm not so sure. It's by no means a guarantee that I'll buy the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but this new look at its design does have me seriously thinking about it in a way I wasn't previously. I hope Samsung outfits the rest of the phone with the specs it deserves, because if so, 2025 may finally be the year I purchase my first foldable. Just don't tell my wallet.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's design revealed through CAD-based renders
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 next month, and their renders that leaked yesterday showed us the phones in different colors. However, Samsung's next high-end smartphone after these foldables won't come in 2026 but before the end of 2025. We are talking about the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, which has appeared in CAD-based renders shared by SammyGuru in collaboration with OnLeaks. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's design hasn't changed much from its predecessor - the Galaxy S24 FE. The smartphone has a metal build with flat frames, sports a punch-hole display on the front, and features a vertically aligned triple camera setup on the rear. On the right side of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE are the volume rocker and power button, and at the bottom is the USB-C port, flanked by a SIM card slot and a speaker grille, which could also be housing a microphone. Up top is another mic. While the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's design language remains identical to that of its predecessor, the dimensions are different. According to the source, the S25 FE measures 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4 mm, compared to the S24 FE, which measures 162 x 77.3 x 8 mm. This makes the S25 FE slightly shorter than the S24 FE, but despite that, the source says that the S25 FE packs a 6.7" display - the same as the S24 FE. That's courtesy of thinner bezels. The source didn't mention the screen resolution but said it's a Super AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,600 nits of peak brightness. The S25 FE is also thinner than the S24 FE, and we hope that the 0.6 mm difference doesn't translate to a reduction in battery capacity, as Samsung has been allergic to using Si/C batteries in its smartphones. There's no word from Samsung about the Galaxy S25 FE. However, rumors claim that the smartphone will be powered by either the Exynos 2400 or Dimensity 9400 SoC and have 12GB of RAM onboard. It will have 256GB and 512GB storage options and could run Android 16-based One UI 8 out of the box. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's front camera will use a 12MP sensor, while the triple camera setup on the rear will comprise 50MP primary (with OIS), 8MP telephoto (3x optical), and 12MP ultrawide units.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE tipped to feature slim design and even thinner bezels
Before Samsung could make it official, a new leak revealed a few details around the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE. The company brings the FE variant with every Galaxy S series, and the S25 is also expected to witness the same. While it is a toned-down version, the phone may cut the edge on a few specs as compared to the Galaxy S25 variant. However, the new leaks suggest that the design will go slim, and the bezels will be even slimmer. This latest sneak peek comes courtesy of leaker OnLeaks and the tech site SammyGuru. And although it's hardly surprising that someone's dug up these renders, what's really exciting is that this is the first proper look at the S25 FE's design so far. Let's take a Galaxy S25 FE design leakThat design, it seems, is an evolution rather than a full overhaul. The Galaxy S25 FE doesn't stray too far from the visual language of its predecessor, last year's Galaxy S24 FE, but there are some welcome tweaks. According to SammyGuru, the new model features noticeably slimmer bezels that will help it look more modern and refined. Another key change is its profile; at just 7.4mm thick, the Galaxy S25 FE is leaner than last year's 8mm version. When you put those numbers side by side — 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm — you can see Samsung is serious about slimming things down without shrinking the screen. advertisement Speaking of screens, the Galaxy S25 FE is tipped to pack a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That's par for the course for Samsung at this point — its Galaxy S24 FE and S25 flagship series already sport smooth 120Hz panels. The big question is whether this one will offer the adaptive refresh rate tech Samsung reserves for its priciest phones. Given that it's already present across much of the range, it would make sense for Samsung to continue this tradition in the S25 FE Galaxy S25 FE: What to expect Of course, the hardware under the surface is just as hotly anticipated. Prior leaks and rumours have hinted that the S25 FE will get an upgraded front camera and a refined main camera setup on the back, perfect for anyone who loves their social selfies or capturing crisp shots on the move. That said, we'll need to wait for more concrete details before knowing exactly what new tricks the cameras can of this 'Fan Edition' range will also be glad to see that Samsung appears to have carried over its trademark aesthetic — a clean, minimalist style with a neat arrangement of cameras. And while these renders don't give away every secret feature, they do include a 360-degree video that lets you explore the device from every angle. SammyGuru has uploaded this clip too, so tech-watchers can pore over every curve. Ultimately, the Galaxy S25 FE looks set to deliver exactly what its audience expects — a flagship-style phone with some premium perks, a refreshed look and an affordable price. Given Samsung's proven track record in the FE space, there's every reason to believe this will also be amongst the competitive mid-premium smartphones of the these renders reveal several details, we advise you to wait for an official notification. Until then, take these details with a pinch of salt.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak points to thinner bezels
TL;DR A new leak may give us our first look at the Galaxy S25 FE. The device is said to feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung may have upgraded the front camera to 12MP. In January, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra. The company then followed that up with the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge in May. Samsung could finish up the S25 series in the next few months by launching a Fan Edition, and we may have just gotten our first look at it. In collaboration with tipster OnLeaks, SamMobile has shared a few CAD renders of what's believed to be the Galaxy S25 FE. According to the outlet, the FE will come with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That display may offer a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, but that number hasn't been confirmed. We could also see the front camera upgraded from 10MP to 12MP. Additionally, the report mentions that we can expect the dimensions to be 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm. While there are no details about the price, the outlet speculates that the price could go up by $50. For reference, the Galaxy S24 FE launched with a price tag of $650. It's also unclear what chip will be sitting inside, but potential options could be an Exynos 2400 or a MediaTek Dimensity 9400. These renders also seem to suggest that the bezels will be thinner than last year. It's believed that Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 FE in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year. When the handset arrives, it should be running on One UI 8 out of the box. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Google just made an iPhone tease the Pixel 10 in its latest 'Best Phones Forever' ad
Android Headlines/OnLeaks TL;DR Google has teased the Pixel 10 for the first time in a new 'Best Phones Forever' ad, but an iPhone is actually doing the marketing. The ad pokes fun at Apple's recently announced Pixel-inspired iOS 26 features, including Live Translation for messages, Hold Assist, and Call Screening. The cheeky teaser for Google's next set of flagships comes right at the end. Google has released another 'Best Phones Forever' ad, and this time, it's not just a playful jab at Apple; it's also the first teaser for the upcoming Pixel 10 series. The new video shows the usual Pixel-iPhone duo chatting, with the iPhone excited about a bunch of new iOS 26 features Apple just announced. The Pixel makes the iPhone realize that Google already had these features years ago. From Live Translation for messages to Hold Assist and Call Screening, the iPhone sounds off its new features one by one, and each time, the Pixel reminds it that Google introduced these capabilities years earlier. The cheeky teaser for Google's next set of flagships comes right at the end, when the iPhone casually asks what Pixel is working on for the Pixel 10. Unfortunately, that's where the ad ends. The Pixel doesn't answer the question, and the video concludes with an image of the Pixel 9 Pro, but the message is clear: the Pixel 10 is coming, and Google is starting to lay the marketing groundwork for the launch. Speaking of Pixel 10 marketing, one of the new flagships was also recently spotted being filmed for an ad shoot at a beach in Canada. Leaked images from the shoot show what appears to be a Pixel 10 Pro or a 10 Pro XL, with the marketing tagline 'Ask more of your phone.' While Google hasn't shared any launch plans for the Pixel 10 series just yet, the company recently pushed a June 27 Pixel Superfans event for previewing 'pre-release Pixel devices' to September, indicating that the new flagships could arrive around that time. If this ad is any indication, Google might be prepping new software features that could once again take Apple years to catch up to. Got a tip? Talk to us!
