The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is super slim, but say goodbye to the S Pen

Samsung has revealed the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is even thinner and lighter than its predecessor at 4.2mm thick when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. It also has a larger 6.5-inch outer display and an 8-inch display on the inside (up from 6.3 inches and 7.6 …

Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on: Samsung finally made the foldables we’ve been asking for

2025-07-09T15:39:52-04:00

Just look at these beauts.

Samsung just announced its seventh-generation folding phones, and it finally retired the long and narrow Z Fold design that it had stuck with for far too long. The Z Flip is also getting an overdue upgrade to a full-size cover screen rather than the file folder shape of the past couple generations. After years of incremental upgrades and barely warmed-over designs, Samsung's foldables are finally taking a leap forward with some bold choices - just be prepared to pay up for them.

We knew the Fold 7 would be thinner. Rumors told us. Samsung told us. But like with the Galaxy S25 Edge, seeing is believing. Or, holding the phone in your hand is, …

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series hands-on: squircle squad

2025-07-09T14:35:16-04:00

Here’s the new Galaxy Watch 8 lineup. From left to right: 40mm Galaxy Watch 8, 44mm Watch 8, Classic, and the Ultra.

One thing is immediately noticeable as I try on the new Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic just ahead of Samsung Unpacked. The squircle has taken over.

The circle-face-in-a-square-case design was introduced last year with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and it has now made its way to the rest of the lineup. At a glance, it's the most noticeable change about this year's Galaxy watches. And I can't lie, I was resistant. The initial photos and renders that Samsung shared with the press had me bracing. The circular design was iconic! The Ultra was square and squat! But to my surprise, when I slipped on the regular 40mm and 44mm Galaxy Watch 8, t …

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is just one day away, but a new leak may have just revealed even more details and images of the company's upcoming devices.

Samsung is about to find out if Ultra is enough

2025-07-03T17:21:16-04:00

The Z Fold 6 brought us “improved flatness.”

I don't often get asked about the phones I'm testing when I'm out and about, unless it's a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: "Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here]." My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones. Samsung would very much like that to not be the case, and, by all indications, it's about to pull out all the stops at at its Unpacked event on July 9th. But is putting the Ultra name on a folding phone enough?

The weak sales are not for …
