Samsung‘s 7th-generation foldables are just around the corner—expected to arrive sometime in mid-July—and this year, the book-style model finally seems to be getting meaningful hardware upgrades. It’s reportedly going to be much thinner than its predecessor and may feature a slightly larger display. But that’s not all—the camera system also appears to be getting a major overhaul.
A previously leaked prototype image showed a repositioned flash, hinting at a larger main sensor. This supports ongoing rumors of a 200MP primary camera. However, one detail we didn’t explore in our previous report is the protrusion of the camera module itself. A recently leaked render of a Thinborne case for the Z Fold7 offers a first visual hint at that.
While the render doesn’t mention exact dimensions, the protrusion appears reasonable when you consider the rumored specs. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, which also uses a 200MP 1/1.3″ ISOCELL HP2 sensor, is 8.2mm thick. In contrast, the Z Fold7 is said to measure just 4.54mm when unfolded—making it Samsung’s slimmest foldable yet. If Samsung reuses the HP2 sensor and a similar lens setup, the protrusion on the Z Fold7 would likely exceed that of the S25 Ultra by over 3mm—lining up with the render.
And let’s not forget what we saw with the Galaxy S25 Edge. That “razor-thin” bar phone (5.8mm) is still thicker than the Z Fold7 (unfolded), which suggests the protrusion on the foldable could be even more pronounced—assuming Samsung’s ALOP lens tech doesn’t make the leap from patents and blog posts to actual production hardware.
We’re inching closer to the big reveal, and Samsung has already started spilling the beans—one detail at a time. Stick around for more updates.

The built-in 70cm USB-C cable can withstand more than 20,000 pulls and 20,000 swings, according to Anker’s durability tests. The cable supports up to 45W fast charging and retracts automatically when not in use.
In addition to the retractable cable, the S1 includes one USB-C port and one USB-A port. Both USB-C outputs support 45W power delivery, while the USB-A port supports up to 22.5W. When multiple ports are used at the same time, the total output is limited to 24W. The USB-C port also supports 30W fast input for recharging the power bank.
The front of the device hides a TFT display beneath the surface. The screen activates during charging to show real-time output power, remaining battery percentage, and internal temperature. The display adds functionality while keeping the design clean and minimal.
Anker has implemented a three-layer thermal management system in the S1. The system uses low-resistance MOSFETs, graphene thermal sheets, and aerogel insulation materials. This setup helps manage heat during high-speed charging and protects the battery’s health.
The power bank supports a wide range of devices, including iPhones, iPads, Android smartphones, laptops, Nintendo Switch, wireless earbuds, and smartwatches. Anker claims the S1 can charge an iPhone 16 Pro to 50% in just 27 minutes. For older Apple models or Lightning-based devices, a separate Lightning cable version is available.

Anker just launched a new pair of truly wireless earbuds, but these aren’t your average noise-canceling buds. The Soundcore Sleep A30 brings a new feature, which allows it to detect when you snore. This model has just been announced, so here’s its specs, pricing, and more. The latest announcement also arrives after the company launched the new Nano Power Bank 10K and Nano Power Bank 5K.
Anker Soundcore Sleep A30: What Does it Offer?
The Soundcore Sleep A30’s predecessor, which is the Sleep A20, came with features that helped users keep track of their sleep and even receive analytics. Thanks to its unique design, the Sleep A20 could even be worn by side sleepers. This makes it great for replacing the typical earplugs that people wear when sleeping. The new Sleep A30 model keeps this unique design to reduce pressure when sleeping on your side, but takes this sleep centric feature a step further.

It arrives with snore detection technology that can detect when you snore in your sleep. Anker claims that its latest earbuds can offer 93 percent snore detection accuracy. This is done in real-time, and the Soundcore Sleep A30 can even generate a masking sound tailored to the frequency, volume, and pattern of the snoring. Apart from this, the Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 arrives with features one would expect from modern TWS earbuds.
This includes Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) up to 30 decibels, with Anker claiming that the Sleep A30 is the “world’s first smart ANC sleep earbuds.” On a single full charge, the A30 can last for up to 9 hours with ANC enabled. The overall battery life can be bumped to 45 hours with the charging case. The known accessories maker has announced this model in Mist Green and Classic White with a 249.99 EUR/229 USD price tag. This model is currently listed for pre-orders with the full release set for September via Amazon and Soundcore’s official website.
