Samsung’s latest foldable flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, has officially arrived, bringing notable upgrades. These improvements range from a sleeker, more durable design to improved cameras that could tempt existing Fold owners and newcomers alike. So here are the key reasons why the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be worth the upgrade.
One of the standout improvements on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is its redesigned chassis. Samsung has managed to shave off a few grams while making the device thinner as well. The flagship foldable now measures just 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when unfolded, which is noticeably thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that measures 12.1mm when folded (5.6mm unfolded).
But it’s not just a slimmer design, Samsung has also worked on improving the durability and hinge mechanism. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 features what the company calls the Armor Flexhinge, along with an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance. In other words, the brand is finally catching up with its Chinese competitors in the foldable phone in the design department.

2. Camera Enhancements
Previous iterations of the Galaxy Z Fold series had capable cameras, but these were still lacklustre compared to other ultra premium foldable and other flagships. However, the South Korean tech giant brings the S25 Ultra’s main 200MP camera to the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
While the ultra wide angle lens and telephoto shooter have yet to receive the same love, the updated primary camera makes the device a lot better for photography as a whole. With the Z Fold 7, Samsung finally ditches the under-display camera on the main foldable screen with the same 10MP punch hole selfie camera on both the external and main display.
3. Improved Performance & Efficiency
Unfortunately, only the Galaxy Z Flip 7 got a bump in battery capacity this year. So the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is still stuck with a 4,400mAh cell. But thanks to Qualcomm’s powerful and efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, Samsung is promising all-day use (official claims state 24 hours of video playback). This chip is also one of the most powerful processor that power Android flagships in the market, so you can expect top tier performance for regular use and intense tasks like mobile gaming.
4. Verdict
Samsung has built a robust ecosystem of its products and offers one of the best Android experiences with its One UI. The handy software features, Galaxy AI, customizability and a lot more have made the brand popular across the globe. So for those looking to remain in Samsung’s ecosystem, this is a great pick. There are plenty of Chinese competitors, but these aren’t as widely available either. With the Z Fold 7’s various improvements, it at least competes on a similar playing field now. I’d only suggest skipping the Z Fold 7 if you already have the Z Fold 6 or another recent foldable since the upgrades won’t feel substantial over a single generation.

Google released Android 16 in June, months ahead of its usual release timeline. This early treat shouldn’t be limited to Google Pixels, but devices from other brands, including Realme, should also receive Android 16 faster than usual.

Although it’s an unofficial list, it will closely match the official one. However, we still recommend checking out the official list for the final confirmation. Anyway, we’ll update the list here when it’s officially announced.
Realme is fairly quick with software updates, but the update promise falls short of what most Android brands offer. The brand has long offered just three Android upgrades to its high-end phones, the GT series. Only recently, it started offering four of them with the GT 7 series release.
While it’s a nice move, Realme is still a step behind Oppo and Nothing, which offer up to five OS updates, and much behind Samsung and Google, promising up to seven Android updates.
The mid-range and cheaper models from Realme max out at just two OS upgrades, while its rivals offer up to four. Samsung is in a different league, offering up to six OS updates to its newer mid-range models. So, longer software updates are no longer exclusive to flagship devices, and Realme needs to learn that. The brand should offer extended major upgrades on non-flagship phones, too.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 may be cutting-edge tech — but Russian luxury brand Caviar wants to elevate them to collectible status. Their new “Cosmic Cabubu” collection, limited to just eight units of each phone, reimagines these foldables as art objects fitted with gold, diamonds… and meteorite.
Taking its inspiration from “Labubu” — a plush monster toy from China — Caviar’s whimsical “Cabubu on Mars” and “Cabubu on Venus” editions showcase playful yet lavish designs:
Galaxy Z Fold7 “Cabubu on Mars” — A black titanium frame with 24-karat gold accents, red enamel jewelwork evoking Martian terrain, and genuine Muonionalusta meteorite fragments. Starts at $10,340 for the 256GB version. The 512GB and 1TB versions cost $10,700 and $11,060, respectively.
Galaxy Z Flip7 “Cabubu on Venus” — A Venus-themed design with blue jewels, thirteen natural diamonds, and meteorite inlays. Priced at $8,910 for 256 GB. Its 512GB version costs $9,270.
Each device is unique due to the natural composition of the meteorites, no two phones are exactly alike.
Under the extravagance lies the original hardware:
Z Fold7: 8″ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite, 200 MP main camera, and Galaxy AI
Z Flip7: 6.9″ AMOLED screen, Exynos 2500 chip, 50 MP main camera and Galaxy AI
Both phones include a specially designed futuristic case with gold accents, tied together by Caviar’s famed craftsmanship.
If you’re in the ultra-luxury market and want a foldable that doubles as a conversation piece (and an investment), Caviar’s “Cosmic Cabubu” collection delivers — but at prices that rival fine art. Only eight units per model mean exclusivity comes at a premium.
Xiaomi is teasing a high-performance version of its YU7 electric SUV, recently spotted undercover on the streets of China. Coming on the heels of the SU7 Ultra sedan’s success, the alleged “YU7 Ultra” looks set to bring supercar-level performance to the SUV market.
Spotted under wraps
On July 10, ChinaEVHome shared photos of a camouflaged YU7 Ultra prototype. While it retains the sleek silhouette of the standard YU7, it adds sportier touches: bigger air intakes, flared wheel arches, and a more aggressive stance.
Reports indicate the YU7 Ultra will use the same dual-motor setup as the SU7 Ultra, packing a staggering 1,548 horsepower and 1,770 Nm of torque. Early estimates suggest a 0–100 km/h time of around 2.5 seconds, even with a slightly smaller 93.7 kWh NMC battery (versus the standard YU7’s 96.3 kWh pack).
If true, the YU7 Ultra would position itself as one of the fastest electric SUVs on the market. Considering Xiaomi’s standard YU7 is already in high demand—with 300,000 orders and wait-lists stretching over a year—interest in its ultra version is likely to be intense.
When and where?
The YU7 Ultra could debut in early 2026 in China, priced above the top-tier YU7 Max, though international availability remains unclear. There’s even talk of a larger sibling, the “YU9,” joining the lineup.
Bottom line: The camouflaged YU7 Ultra hints at a bold move by Xiaomi—bringing near-supercar acceleration to the SUV segment. Stick around; this could be one of the most exciting EV launches of 2026.
Realme’s next budget phone is going to be the Note 70T, as the device has been spotted on an Italian retailer’s website. The premature listing reveals everything from the design to the specs of the phone, except the pricing.
The Note 70T sports a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch at the top, although the screen’s refresh rate is unspecified. In terms of design and dimensions, the phone measures 161.7 x 74.7 x 7.6mm and weighs 185 grams. The color option includes Gold and Black.
Powered by a fairly basic chipset
The device is built around the Unisoc T7250 chipset, a budget-tier processor not typically known for performance. It’s backed by 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, with no mention of microSD expansion. The listing confirms an IP64 rating for basic protection against dust and water splashes.
The phone is fitted with a 6,000mAh battery to power everything up. As for charging, the FCC documentation reveals the phone supports 15W charging. On the software side, the Note 70T is expected to run Realme UI based on Android 15 out of the box.
Since the Note 70T is a budget phone, the phone will have a fairly basic camera setup. It could have a 50MP main sensor on the back with an LED flash, and a 16MP front-facing camera.
Other specs of the device include dual SIM card support, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, it does not support 5G networks. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Realme hasn’t officially announced a launch date for the Note 70T yet. However, now that the device has surfaced on a retailer’s website with full specifications and renders, its debut likely isn’t far off.

Infinix’s global wing has shared a teaser video via its official Facebook page, offering a sneak peek into its upcoming smartphone—the Hot 60 Pro+. While the teaser avoids revealing everything upfront, it hints at an exceptionally slim design, upgraded hardware, and intelligent features. Here’s a deeper look into what’s coming.
Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ key specifications confirmed
The Hot 60 Pro+ is being promoted as the world’s slimmest phone with a 3D curved screen, measuring just 5.95mm thick. It features a 6.78-inch nearly bezel-less display with 3D curved glass and narrow edges, creating a premium visual experience. While the refresh rate hasn’t been confirmed, Infinix’s past models in this range have supported up to 120Hz.

For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge reportedly features a smaller 3,900mAh battery. Infinix claims its battery can hold up to 5 years of daily use and supports 45W fast charging, offering a balance of slimness and practicality.
The device is powered by the MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, making it suitable for regular multitasking and AI-driven tasks.

The Redmi 15C might be closer to launch than expected. Last month, it surfaced in the IMEI database, and now a fresh leak reveals almost everything else—design, specifications, and pricing for the European market.
The information comes from a report by YTechb, which claims the upcoming budget phone will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 chip. That’s the same processor used in last year’s model, so performance gains likely won’t be a headline feature. Instead, Xiaomi seems to be focusing on making the phone physically bigger this time around.
Redmi 15C will feature a bigger screen, battery
According to the leak, the Redmi 15C will come with a 6.9-inch IPS LCD panel, a slight increase in size (from 6.88 inches), featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and a waterdrop-style notch. The notch will house a 13MP front-facing camera, while the rear setup includes a 50MP main sensor paired with a secondary lens.
Renders included in the leak show the Redmi 15C in four color options: Moonlight Blue, Black, Pink, and Green.
As for the internals, the phone will ship with 4GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. Powering it all is a 6000mAh battery, with support for 33W fast charging. The predecessor has a 5160mAh cell and 18W charging.
Xiaomi claims the battery can last up to 77 hours on a single charge and retain 80 percent of its capacity after 1,000 charging cycles, according to EPREL certification.
In terms of dimensions, the device will reportedly measure 173 x 81 x 8.2 mm and weigh around 205 grams.
As for the pricing, the report claims it will start at €129 for the base variant with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The 256GB model will go for €149 in the Eurozone.

Oppo Find X8 is an impressive flagship smartphone, featuring great hardware, premium design, and feature-rich software — all at a starting price of INR 69,999. It’s a compelling choice for sure, but not the only showstopper in this price range. We’ve found five great alternatives to the Oppo Find X8 that outshines the device in one or more ways.
The OnePlus 13 (long-term review) has a slightly bigger screen at 6.82 inches (versus 6.59 inches). It also boasts a higher resolution and features LTPO 4.1 technology that enables dynamic refresh rate for better battery efficiency. Additionally, it features Ceramic Guard glass for display protection.
The smartphone rocks a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, offering slightly better gaming performance than the Dimensity 9400 on the Find X8. Software-wise, the Find X8 Pro is a step ahead with an extra Android upgrade. Both phones ship with Android 16 out of the box.
OnePlus 13 features a triple camera setup, all with 50MP sensors: a primary sensor with OIS, a periscope telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens with a 120˚ field of view. The front gets a 32MP snapper. While both phones support 4K recording from the front, the OnePlus 13 can record up to 8K from the rear. It also excels in battery capacity and charging speed.
This is another excellent alternative to the Oppo Find X8, featuring a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It’s a compact flagship phone with LTPO support and a much stronger Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The peak brightness doesn’t quite match Find X8’s, but at 2600nits, outdoor visibility is still great.
The camera system includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultrawide shooter. The selfie camera is 12MP with 4K video support, and the rear setup can record up to 8K. The battery and charging speed are underwhelming, but there’s a reason for it (read here).
The Galaxy S25 features an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is more secure, faster, and reliable than the optical fingerprint method commonly used by most smartphones, including the Oppo Find X8. The device also offers longer software support.
Realme GT 7 Pro (full review) is also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, ensuring top-tier performance. The screen is slightly bigger. It features a slightly larger display with LTPO and an even higher peak brightness than the Find X8.
It comes with a triple camera system: two 50MP sensors for primary and telephoto duties, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. The rear supports up to 8K recording, but the selfie video is limited to 1080p. Overall, it delivers excellent performance, great display, and superb charging speeds, although the camera setup — especially the ultrawide and selfie video — might disappoint some.

4. Xiaomi 15
Xiaomi 15 (full review) is a compact flagship phone, featuring a slightly smaller 6.36-inch AMOLED screen with LTPO support for a more efficient power consumption. It uses Xiaomi’s own Shield Glass for protection and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for all the heavy lifting.
The camera system includes three 50MP sensors (primary, telephoto, and ultrawide) with 8K video capability. The 32MP front camera supports up to 4K video. Other aspects of the phone, such as connectivity features, battery capacity and charging speeds are flagship-grade, too.

5. Google Pixel 9
Google Pixel 9
The Pixel 9 also secures a place on this list, not because of its hardware but for a great Android experience and software optimizations. When compared to the Oppo Find X8, the Pixel 9’s screen is a little shorter and features lower peak brightness, but has a stronger Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on both sides.
The Tensor G4 chipset may not match the raw performance of the Dimensity 9400 or Snapdragon 8 Elite, but it’s more than capable for daily use. You also get seven years of Android updates. Plus, the fact that Pixels are usually the first phones to get the latest OS makes it sweeter.
Unlike others, it lacks a telephoto camera but still manages to deliver excellent image quality. The device has an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and a decent battery with decent fast charging support.
Google Pixel 9 specs:
Display: 6.3″ OLED, 1080 x 2424 pixels resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 2700nits brightness (peak), Gorilla Glass Victus 2
Processor: Google Tensor G4 (4nm)
Software: Android 14, up to seven major Android upgrades
Rear camera: dual cameras, up to 4K video recording
50MP (primary) – f/1.7, dual pixel PDAF, OIS
48MP (telephoto) – f/1.7, dual pixel PDAF, 123˚ field of view
Selfie camera: single camera, up to 4K video recording

Humbl is powered by the Qualcomm AR1 processor and is built around a screenless, voice-first interface. The glasses feature a contextual camera, gesture support, and open-ear audio. Designed to serve as an always-on assistant, Humbl can respond to voice commands such as “Hey Humbl” to carry out tasks like recording point-of-view videos, providing directions, playing music, summarizing conversations, setting reminders, and offering real-time translations.
The AI can interpret both audio and visual input, allowing it to identify objects and landmarks to enhance user navigation. QWR says the glasses are tuned to understand multiple Indian languages and dialects, which makes them particularly relevant to the local market. It also highlights that Humbl is designed to be discreet and practical for everyday wear. The appearance is similar to that of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, though specific hardware details like battery life haven’t been disclosed yet.
Launch timeline
The official launch is scheduled for later this month, but buyers will have to wait until the final quarter of 2025 for shipping. QWR, led by founder Suraj Aiar, also hinted at larger ambitions, including building advanced XR manufacturing infrastructure for global exports. While their website currently doesn’t mention Humbl, the company’s social media is teasing its arrival.
QWR already offers smart glasses under the Aurl brand, which are audio-only, and two different VR headsets.

6. Verdict: Should you still go for the Nothing Phone (3)?
There’s no doubt the Nothing Phone (3) brings a unique identity to the Android space. The new Glyph Matrix is fun, the Essential Key introduces useful AI-powered features, and its 5500mAh battery with 65W charging is solid. But when your rivals are offering better displays, stronger cameras, faster processors, and equally long software support, being “different” may not be enough.
If you want the most complete phone experience today, the OnePlus 13 and Pixel 9 Pro XL stand out. If AI productivity and long-term support matter most, the Galaxy S25 is the smarter pick. Xiaomi 15 is for compact power users, and the iPhone 16 remains a no-nonsense benchmark of stability and ecosystem lock-in.
The Nothing Phone (3) isn’t a bad phone by any means. But in 2025, competition is fierce, and “Nothing” has never had to prove itself more.

Samsung has officially launched its next generation of wearables, the Galaxy Watch 8 series, at the recent Unpacked event. The new smartwatches build on what Samsung already does well: solid fitness tracking, seamless Android integration, and consistent design.
But with the Galaxy Watch 8 series, Samsung has decided to make a few bolder changes, both visually and under the hood. The company is also bringing back the Classic model this year, complete with everyone’s favorite rotating bezel.
Here are the new features that make the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic what they are.
The most immediately noticeable change in the Galaxy Watch 8 series is the design. The watches are now squircle in shape compared to the round casing of the Watch 7 line.
Essentially, this means both the Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic have a square case with a round display. It’s a bold visual shift that brings the Galaxy Watch 8 and 8 Classic closer in form to the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
This design might take some getting used to. Traditional round watches have a timeless aesthetic, and some may prefer that classic look. But on the wrist, the wearables still look modern and refined.
Also, the Watch 8 is nearly a millimeter thinner than its predecessor at 8.6mm. The new shape also helps the device sit more securely on the wrist, which Samsung claims improves sensor accuracy.
Samsung has also improved how the straps attach. There’s now a quick-release mechanism similar to what we’ve seen on the Watch Ultra. It makes swapping out bands easier. However, you wouldn’t be able to use earlier Galaxy Watch bands on the new models.
2. A Brighter, Still OLED Display
Both Watch 8 models retain OLED displays, but brightness now reaches up to 3,000 nits, according to Samsung. This level of brightness matches what Apple offers with the Watch Ultra 2.
While the Watch 7 was already easy to see in direct sunlight, the bump in brightness ensures better visibility in harsh lighting conditions. That said, the difference might be difficult to detect under normal circumstances.
Samsung hasn’t changed the display resolution or size in any significant way, so the brightness bump is the headline improvement here. It’s a modest but useful upgrade, especially for users who spend a lot of time outdoors.
3. Expanded Health Tracking with Sleep and Vascular Features
Samsung continues to treat health tracking as a major priority in its smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch 8 series brings new and updated health features, though most of them lean toward lifestyle advice rather than medical-grade diagnostics.
New in One UI 8 Watch is a “Bedtime Guidance” system that recommends sleep times based on personal habits. It requires at least three nights of sleep data to begin offering insights.
The sleep apnea detection feature has also received EU medical certification, lending more credibility to its measurements.
Another addition is vascular strain measurement, designed to monitor the condition of blood vessels during sleep. While useful, this feature is not medically certified.
There’s also a new Antioxidant Index feature that estimates levels of free radicals in the body. However, it requires users to remove the watch and place a thumb on the sensor. Like other new tools, it serves more as a general wellness guide than a diagnostic tool.
Beyond these, the Watch 8 continues to offer the usual health tracking features, including body composition analysis, heart rate monitoring, blood pressure tracking, and ECG readings (when paired with a Samsung smartphone and the Health Monitor app).
4. Google Gemini Replaces (Some of) Bixby
Perhaps one of the most interesting additions to the Galaxy Watch 8 is Google Gemini integration. For years, Bixby has handled voice assistance on Samsung watches, though to lukewarm reception. Now, users can choose Gemini as an alternative.
Gemini is available via LTE and Wi-Fi and supports a range of voice commands; everything from sending messages to creating reminders or generating basic routes.
It doesn’t yet support full conversational AI or work with all apps (WhatsApp replies, for example, are not available). But it’s an improvement over Bixby in terms of functionality and cloud-connected features.
That doesn’t mean Bixby is gone. It still handles all offline tasks and can be set as the default assistant. Users can configure which assistant is triggered via the top button, now dubbed the “AI Button.”
Wear OS continues to be the foundation of the Watch 8 software experience. The Play Store offers access to standalone apps like WhatsApp and Spotify, as well as many other Android-compatible services.
5. Running Coach and Upgraded Sports Features
The Galaxy Watch 8 introduces a new running coach feature designed to help runners of all levels train more effectively. It uses the 12-minute Cooper test as a starting point to assess a user’s fitness level and build a customized running plan from there.
During workouts, the watch offers real-time coaching feedback, like maintaining the correct pace or adjusting intensity. The watches also include dual-frequency GPS to improve location accuracy during outdoor exercise.
These fitness improvements aren’t exclusive to professional athletes. They’re designed for anyone who wants to monitor or improve their daily activity without diving into complex metrics. It’s a subtle but useful evolution for Samsung’s fitness platform.
