With just days to go until Samsung’s big Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, fresh leaks are offering a closer look at what to expect from the company’s next-gen foldables—the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7. If the leaks are accurate, both phones are getting major design refinements, with the Fold7 in particular vying for the title of the world’s slimmest book-style foldable.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 CAD renders by OnLeaks and AndroidHeadlines
According to Weibo tipster Setsuna Digital, the Galaxy Z Fold7 measures just 8.9mm when folded and an impressively thin 4.2mm when opened, matching the thickness of the Oppo Find N5, the slimmest Android foldable to date. Honor’s upcoming book-style foldable, the Magic V5, isn’t any slimmer than the Z Fold7 either.
The Z Fold7 weighs 215g, down from the 239g predecessor. It also features Samsung’s updated Armor Aluminum frame and a new glass-ceramic back. It’s expected to include a 6.5-inch cover screen and an 8-inch foldable AMOLED inside, both with 120Hz refresh rates.
Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip (unlike the Flip7 and Flip7 FE that use Exynos chips) and offers a powerful camera setup: a 200MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto, and a 10MP front camera with a 100-degree field of view. It ships with Android 16 and One UI 8.0 and will reportedly get seven years of software support.
The Galaxy Z Flip7 is getting slimmer, too. It’s said to be 13.7mm when folded and 6.5mm unfolded—thinner than the 14.9 mm Flip6—despite packing a bigger 4,300mAh battery and a larger 4.1-inch cover display. The main 6.9-inch screen offers a 21:9 aspect ratio, slim 1.25mm bezels, and up to 2,600 nits of brightness.
Pre-orders are already live on Samsung’s website, with savings of up to $1,150 and a $50 store credit for early reservations.
Nothing is entering the over-ear headphone game—and it’s doing so in style. At its July 1 launch event in London, the company unveiled the Headphone (1), a transparent, feature-packed pair of wireless headphones priced at $299 (or ₹19,999 in India with early discounts). Launched alongside the Nothing Phone (3), this marks the company’s first foray into the full-sized audio space.
Co-developed with British audio specialist KEF, the Headphone (1) combines Nothing’s signature transparent design with a lightweight aluminum frame and squircle-shaped earcups that reveal some of the internals. At 329g, they’re a tad heavier than Sony’s WH-1000XM6, but the use of memory foam and oil-resistant PU leather should keep them comfortable—though early impressions suggest they might slide around a bit during movement.
On the audio front, the headphones are powered by 40mm dynamic drivers and support adaptive bass tuning, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, and strong active noise cancellation (ANC). According to early reviews, ANC and transparency mode perform reliably, while battery life stretches up to 80 hours (or around 35 hours with ANC on). A quick 5-minute charge gets you about 2.4 hours of playback with ANC on and 5 hours of playback with ANC off.
Controls are also a standout. A tactile roller on the earcup adjusts volume and playback, while a separate button gives quick access to AI assistants via the Nothing X app. There’s also an 8-band EQ for tuning the sound to your liking. Early impressions suggest the headphones are bass-forward.
Pre-orders open July 4, with full sales starting July 15 through Flipkart and select retail stores in India.
With bold aesthetics, KEF-tuned audio, and a long-lasting battery, the Headphone (1) is clearly aiming to take on the likes of the Sony WH-1000XM6 and AirPods Max. Whether it can truly compete will depend on real-world performance, but there’s no denying that Nothing’s first over-ear effort makes a strong first impression.
After months of leaks and speculation, the Nothing Phone (3) is finally here. And yes, those renders were real. The phone features a misaligned camera on top, which may take a minute to get used to. Then again, design is subjective, and Nothing has never been afraid to be polarizing.
Glyph Matrix is a playground on Phone (3)
The big new feature on the Phone (3) is the Glyph Matrix, a screen at the top left corner of the back. It is a 25-by-25 pixel dot matrix display composed of 489 individually lit LEDs. And Nothing is doing something genuinely different with it. They’ve introduced what they call Glyph Toys, a small, playful programs designed to run directly on this rear display.
You’ll find mini experiences like Spin the Bottle, Glyph Mirror, Rock Paper Scissors, and even a digital clock. According to the company, these are “mini-programs with constrained functionality and simple interaction models.” And of course, the Glyph Matrix will also show things like caller ID, app-specific messages, system status info, and more.
Developers will also get access to the Glyph SDK, which means third-party Glyph Toys could start showing up, assuming there’s interest. Interestingly, there’s also a dedicated Glyph Button on the back that lets you cycle through these toys without waking the main display. It’s the center left white round-thingy you see in the image below.
Another new physical control is the Essential Key, a customizable side button which was first introduced with the Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro. A single tap on it takes a screenshot, while a long press starts an audio recording.
Not to anyone’s surprise, Nothing’s semi-transparent aesthetic isn’t going anywhere as well. The Phone (3) once again offers a peek at its internals, though it’s mostly cosmetic. It’s more design language than functional transparency, but it remains one of the brand’s defining traits.
This time, though, the circular outline that used to indicate the wireless charging coil is missing. But be sure that it supports wireless charging.
A brighter screen, better cameras, and three 50MP lenses
On the front, you get a 6.67-inch LTPO AMOLED display with symmetrical bezels. It pushes a resolution of 1,280 × 2,800 pixels and supports a dynamic refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz (up to 1,000Hz for touch input).
Nothing claims a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, and there’s an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the screen and a 50MP front-facing camera tucked into the top center.
Flip it over, and you’ll see three standalone camera modules:
50MP main camera (24mm, f/1.7, OIS)
50MP ultra-wide (15mm, f/2.2)
50MP telephoto (70mm, f/2.7, OIS)
All three rear sensors can shoot 4K video at 60fps.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and a promise of longevity
Under the hood, the Phone (3) runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Nothing claims the chip delivers a 125% increase in processing speed over the Phone (2).
It ships with Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, with Android 16 and Nothing OS 4.0 arriving later in Q3. The company is promising five major Android updates and seven years of security patches for the device.
It is powered by a 5,150mAh battery and supports 65W wired charging, which Nothing says can get you from 1% to 50% in under 20 minutes. Wireless charging is supported up to 15W, and there’s also reverse wireless charging at 5W.
Pricing and availability
The Nothing Phone (3) will be available in White and Black, with two storage variants:
12GB RAM / 256GB storage: ₹79,999
16GB RAM / 512GB storage: ₹89,999
Pre-order starts on July 4 via Flipkart, and sales will start from July 15.
With the Nord CE 5 launching being right around the corner, OnePlus is betting big on a budget-friendly phone that delivers major specs. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new, improved, and worth considering.
OnePlus Nord CE 5: Design & Display
The OnePlus Nord CE 5 is basically a rebranded version of the China exclusive Ace 5 Racing Edition with some internal changes. So the overall design is practically identical. On the rear, you get a slight redesign from its predecessor. In our previous report, we also covered leaked renders of the Nord CE 5, which confirmed that it will be releasing in India in at least 2 color variants. This includes a white and black option (Marble Mist and Black Infinity).
OnePlus Nord CE 5
Meanwhile, the front sports a tall 6.77-inch AMOLED display. Based on the earlier Ace 5 Racing Edition release, the screen likely offerings FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Hardware
For a budget phone, OnePlus is packing some capable specifications under the hood. The Nord CE 5 makes a significant shift from Qualcomm to MediaTek.

The benchmark also confirmed that the budget Nord will run on the OxygenOS 15 based Android 15 OS out of the box.
While the specs overall makes the performance side punch above its weight class, the real standout feature is the battery. OnePlus is packing a mammoth 7,100mAh battery pack on its latest budget phone. You also get impressive fast charging rates of 80W. The brand claims that the device can hit 100 percent in 59 minutes, with a quick 10 minute charge offering up to 6 hours of video playback on YouTube. Nord CE 5 even supports bypass charging that is useful for gamers, who can preserve their battery health with this feature.
Camera

Xiaomi has officially launched a new employee housing initiative, introducing “Xiaomi Youth Apartments” in Beijing and Nanjing. The project aims to support fresh graduates by offering affordable housing near key Xiaomi campuses. The company has set the monthly rent at 1999 yuan ($280) after multiple rounds of internal discussion, according to Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing.
The Beijing complex is located on Dingsi Road in Changping District. It consists of seven buildings with a total of 2,658 units. Each unit is a 29-square-meter studio featuring a private bathroom and integrated Xiaomi smart home devices. The apartments are fully furnished and move-in ready. Residents will have access to shared kitchens, a gym, a media room, and landscaped green areas with lawns and trees.
Xiaomi has positioned these apartments about 10 kilometers from its main tech park and only 3 kilometers from the Xiaomi Smart Industrial Park. The company will provide shuttle buses between the apartment complex and its offices to support daily commuting. The apartments also feature 24/7 concierge service and mobile app access for reporting maintenance issues, moving services, and package handling.
Xiaomi will prioritize recent graduates for the Beijing units. Applications opened on June 29 for 2025 graduates. Graduates from 2024 can apply starting July 13, and 2023 graduates can apply from July 20. The company will offer remaining units to eligible recruits who graduated within the last three years, including those from 2022.

Realme is preparing to launch the Realme 15 5G and Realme 15 Pro 5G in India, as confirmed through new promotional material. While the company has yet to provide a concrete launch date, the devices are expected to arrive in July.
These new models will follow the Realme 14 Pro and 14 Pro+, which launched earlier this year. Notably, the standard Realme 14 5G never made it to the Indian market.
In its announcement, Realme referred to the upcoming 15 Pro as its “most advanced AI party phone.” The company hasn’t disclosed specific hardware details yet, but it hinted that the device will include features previously limited to its higher-end Pro+ models.

What can you expect?
Leaks around the Realme 15 Pro 5G suggest it may be offered in multiple configurations, including 8GB or 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. It could be released in flowing silver, silk purple, and velvet green finishes. Meanwhile, the standard Realme 15 5G might feature similar storage options and launch in shades like silk pink and velvet green.
As for other hardware, the Realme 15 5G is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, paired with a 6,300mAh battery supporting 45W fast charging. The phone may also feature a 50MP triple camera setup on the back and a 32MP selfie camera, along with a flat AMOLED display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
If early pricing predictions hold, the Realme 15 5G could land between ₹18,000 and ₹20,000 in India. While the Pro model’s pricing hasn’t been outlined, it’s likely to sit above this range.
We expect to get more concrete information, including the official launch date, in the coming weeks.
