The design of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 has been revealed through unofficial CAD renders, which appear to be strikingly similar to its predecessors, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Flip 5. The leaked images show the Z Flip 7 in a light blue color and suggest that Samsung is sticking to a familiar design language for its next-generation flip phone as well.
Leaked dimensions hint at a wider aspect ratio
According to the leak (via AndroidHeadlines), the Z Flip 7 will feature a 6.8-inch foldable main display and a 3.6-inch cover screen, up from the 6.7-inch and 3.4-inch panels on the Z Flip 6. The leaked dimensions offer more insights into the design: 166.6 x 75.2 x 6.9mm instead of 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9mm of the Z Flip 6.
So, the upcoming flip is going to be slightly taller and significantly wider than the predecessor while having the same thickness. And if this is true, the phone will pack an inner display with a slightly wider and much more practical aspect ratio—21:9 or 20:9 (like most other bar phones) down from 22:9.
Galaxy Z Flip 6
One potential upgrade that the renders may not fully capture is the possibility of a less visible crease on the foldable display. Samsung is rumored to be using a new hinge mechanism in the Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, which could make the crease less noticeable and improve the overall user experience.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7 this summer alongside the Z Fold 7. The price is rumored to remain unchanged, starting at $1,099, the same as the Z Flip 6. While the design may not bring groundbreaking changes, the Z Flip 7 could still offer subtle refinements that enhance its appeal to foldable phone enthusiasts.
As for the performance, both the book-style and the flip phone are expected to pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. While there’s no word on the battery capacity and the adoption of the high density Si/C battery tech, the more efficient chip should improve the battery life up to some extent over what we have seen with the predecessors. For reference, the Galaxy S25 series offers a decent improvement in battery life over its predecessors despite having the exact same battery capacity.
Apple has officially started shipping the iPhone 16e, the successor to the iPhone SE (3rd Gen) starting today. This time, the phone comes with a major design overhaul.
The new budget iPhone ditches the dated look of its predecessor in favor of flat sides, slimmer bezels, a notch, and even the Action Button. But while the 16e finally feels like it belongs in the modern iPhone lineup, it’s also missing a feature that makes absolutely no sense: MagSafe.
The iPhone 16e does support magnetic wireless charging, but only at 7.5W—and crucially, it lacks the MagSafe ring that lets accessories and chargers snap securely into place. According to Apple, though, this omission doesn’t really matter for the 16e’s target audience.
In a statement to Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, an unnamed Apple representative said that “most people in the 16e’s target audience exclusively charge their phones by plugging them into a charging cable.”
That might have been a reasonable argument a few years ago, but at this point, MagSafe is everywhere—not just for charging, but as a key part of Apple’s accessory ecosystem. Leaving it out on a 2025 iPhone feels like an unnecessary compromise.
For a phone that’s supposed to bring the iPhone experience to more people, Apple sure picked a weird feature to cut.
There’s a workaround—sort of
There is a workaround, though, if you still want the MagSafe experience. You can rather buy a Magsafe compatible case which surely won’t boost the charging speed, but at least it’ll let you use MagSafe accessories without a second thought.
The iPhone 16e starts at $599 in the US for the 128GB variant, going up to $899 for the 512GB model. In India, pricing starts at ₹59,999 and tops out at ₹89,900.

Amazon has launched Alexa+, a generative AI assistant that works with over 600 million existing Alexa devices. The system holds conversations naturally and completes tasks independently.
Alexa+ functions through “experts” – systems that perform specific operations. These enable Alexa+ to control smart home devices, make reservations, play music across services, order groceries, and monitor home security.
The assistant can navigate the internet autonomously to complete tasks. It can locate service providers, make arrangements, and report back without user intervention.
Alexa+ learns user preferences from past purchases and allows users to add information like dietary restrictions or recipes. It applies this knowledge when making suggestions.
The service works across Echo devices, a new mobile app, and Alexa.com. Conversations transfer between devices while maintaining context.
Users can upload documents, emails, photos, and messages for Alexa+ to summarize or use. Amazon built the system with privacy protections, with settings managed in the Alexa Privacy dashboard.
Alexa+ costs $19.99 monthly, but is free for Prime members alongside existing benefits like delivery and entertainment services. The US rollout begins with early access for Echo Show owners, followed by a phased expansion. Users can request early access at amazon.com/newalexa.
In other news, Amazon is shutting down its Appstore for Android devices on August 20, 2025, with new app submissions already halted. Users will lose access after the closure, leaving Google Play as the default marketplace. The Appstore will remain available on Fire TV and Fire Tablets, where Amazon sees the most engagement.
Samsung and Apple continue their annual face-off, and this time, the battle is between their more affordable flagship-tier phones: the Galaxy S24 FE and the iPhone 16e. Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 FE last year, bringing premium features at a more accessible price.
This year, Apple has revamped its budget-friendly SE lineup, renaming it the iPhone 16e and giving it some significant upgrades. However, despite the new name and improved display, it still remains a step below the base iPhone 16 in several aspects. But which one delivers the better overall experience? Let’s break it down.
Design and Display
The Galaxy S24 FE sports a larger 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a smoother scrolling experience and better responsiveness compared to the iPhone 16e’s 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel, which is still limited to 60Hz. The higher refresh rate on the S24 FE makes a noticeable difference in fluidity, particularly when gaming or scrolling through social media.
The Galaxy S24 FE outshines the iPhone 16e with a 1900-nit peak brightness, compared to the latter’s 1200 nits. While the iPhone 16e features a new notch design and an improved display over its SE predecessor, its lower brightness and lack of a high refresh rate make it less competitive. The S24 FE also features sleeker 1.9mm bezels, enhancing its premium look.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Galaxy S24 FE is powered by the Exynos 2400e SoC globally, paired with up to 8GB of RAM. Meanwhile, Apple’s iPhone 16e features the A18 chip with a 16-core Neural Engine, making it one of the most capable processors in a smartphone, particularly when it comes to AI-driven tasks. Apple also ensures longevity with optimized software and hardware integration, which often leads to better real-world performance over time.
Samsung offers Android 14 with One UI 6.1, bringing features like Generative Edit, Circle to Search, and enhanced AI capabilities. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16e debuts with iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence, its own suite of AI-driven features. Samsung has upped its game by promising 7 years of software updates, matching Apple’s industry-leading support cycle.
Cameras
Samsung completely outshines Apple in the camera department. The Galaxy S24 FE features a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. On the front, there’s a 10MP selfie camera.
Apple takes a more minimalistic approach with a single 48MP sensor, which can digitally crop to offer a 2x “optical-quality” zoom. The front houses a 12MP TrueDepth camera for selfies and Face ID. Despite having fewer cameras, Apple’s image processing tends to deliver more consistent results, particularly in video recording, which is an area where iPhones continue to dominate.
Battery and Charging
The Galaxy S24 FE houses a 4,700mAh battery, which supports 25W fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. The iPhone 16e, while having a smaller battery, is optimized with the A18 chip for better efficiency, promising up to 26 hours of video playback. Apple doesn’t specify battery capacity but often makes up for it with efficient software optimization.
However, Apple still lags behind in charging speeds. While the S24 FE offers 25W wired fast charging, the iPhone 16e sticks to Apple’s slower charging standards.
Pricing and Value
The Galaxy S24 FE starts at $649.99 for 8GB + 128GB, while the iPhone 16e is priced at $599 for the same storage. Currently available on Amazon for $499, the S24 FE offers an even better value for those seeking flagship features.
Which One Should You Buy?
If you’re thinking about upgrading, then obviously get the Galaxy S24 FE—it offers better hardware, a high-refresh-rate display, a versatile camera setup, and faster charging. It also has a more modern design with slimmer bezels and a hole-punch display.
However, if you’re considering getting the iPhone 16e, you might be better off opting for the standard iPhone 16 or even a refurbished iPhone Pro model. The 16e feels like a compromise, and spending a little extra could get you a better Apple experience with more premium features.
Ultimately, both phones deliver excellent value, but Samsung’s latest Fan Edition brings more flagship-grade features at a competitive price, making it the more well-rounded choice for most users.

I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about a software update, but One UI 7 has me counting down the days. Samsung has packed this update with impressive upgrades, fresh visuals, and powerful new features that are making me — and millions of other Galaxy users — impatient for the rollout.
From smarter navigation to deeper customization, One UI 7 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates yet. Here are the five best features that make this upgrade impossible to ignore.
Five features that make One UI 7 a game-changing update
1. Now Bar makes the lock screen smarter
One UI 7 introduces Now Bar, the biggest visual upgrade to the newest software. It’s a pill-shared UI element at the bottom of the lock screen, providing quick access to ongoing activities, such as music playback, timers, and navigation updates. Tapping on it expands with more details and additional controls.
This is an entirely different take on Apple’s Dynamic Island, while other brands have just copied Apple’s feature without many changes. This also shows why Samsung is ahead of other Android brands in terms of software. Now Bar not only looks visually stunning but also boosts productivity by letting users access important information without unlocking their device.
Samsung has finally introduced a vertical app drawer, a long-awaited feature that makes scrolling through apps much smoother and faster. Instead of swiping through multiple pages, you can now scroll in a single motion, with a sidebar that lets you jump directly to specific letters to find apps even faster.
If you prefer the old layout, don’t worry — you can switch back anytime. But with how intuitive and effortless this new system feels, I doubt many will want to.
To enable the vertical app drawer, open the app drawer, tap the three-dots icon sitting in the bottom right corner, tap Sort. Now, choose Alphabetical order to enable vertical scrolling.
3. Revamped Quick Settings panel for easier access
The Quick Settings panel is getting a major overhaul with One UI 7, making it more intuitive and visually refined. The Quick Settings and the notifications panels are separated, and how you access them depends on which side of the device you swipe from: swiping down from the left side opens the notification panel and swiping down from the right side opens Quick Settings. This is similar to what many Chinese brands such as Xiaomi and Realme are already offering, but there’s more to Quick Settings on One UI 7.
The new Quick Settings panel looks more visually appealing and is easier to navigate. The number of toggles has been reduced, though you can easily expand them by swiping downwards. There’s also a new volume slider and shortcuts for switching sound profile and enabling dark mode.
Overall, the new Quick Settings panel looks a lot more refined and makes accessing controls faster and more convenient.
Customization has always been a key pillar of One UI, and that’s getting a lot better with One UI 7. The Home Up module (previously part of the Good Lock app) is now built into One UI Home, so users no longer need a separate app to access advanced home screen customization options.
You can arrange apps freely, breaking away from grid layouts. You can also add stickers to the home screen for a more personalized look.
There are also several new widgets, with the ability to preview different formats before adding them to the home screen. One UI 7 also allows combining multiple widgets into a single widget space for better home screen organization and reduced clutter.
The lock screen is now more customizable than ever. One UI 7 adds newer clock styles with customizable fonts and colors. Users can also change the clock location and add more widgets. The two shortcut icons at the bottom can now be customized, thus making the lock screen more personalized and usable.
5. A super clean Camera app
The Camera app in One UI 7 looks less cluttered and provides easier access to controls. The top menu now has fewer options, while the remaining controls are hidden inside an expandable button.
The camera modes have moved below the shutter button, making it easier to switch between photo, video, and other modes. Another essential addition is a zoom slider in the Pro Video mode.
Samsung has also added an “Audio playback” feature that lets users record videos while playing music in the background. This could be particularly useful for creating dance or lip-sync videos.

Snapdragon X – The entry-level option
Kedar confirms, “We want consumers to easily understand the tiers. X Elite represents the best performance, followed by X+ and then X.”
Despite offering high-end AI capabilities, Snapdragon has ensured price accessibility. Kedar states, “With prices starting around $600 for the Snapdragon X, we ensure consumers can access high-performing laptops with excellent battery life and AI capabilities across the entire product stack.”
Snapdragon X Series’ GPU Performance is Good for Everyday Tasks
While Snapdragon GPUs are not designed for high-end gaming, they offer strong performance for everyday applications, including casual gaming and AI-driven tasks.
Kedar emphasizes, “Our GPUs are excellent for casual gaming, standard applications, and even AI generation.” However, he acknowledges that Snapdragon is not targeting professional gaming:“For high-end professional gaming, a dedicated gaming GPU would be more suitable.”
This makes Snapdragon-powered PCs ideal for professionals, students, and general users who prioritize battery life and AI capabilities over extreme graphics performance.“
Future Outlook and Market Expansion of X Series Chips
Snapdragon is making significant strides in expanding its X Series lineup, with growing adoption across manufacturers. Kedar highlights, “We’ve already announced over 70 or 80 devices, either launched or in development, featuring Snapdragon processors.”
As more manufacturers integrate Snapdragon X chips, prices are expected to become more competitive, making ARM-powered PCs a mainstream choice.
Snapdragon-powered laptops are gradually becoming more affordable, with Snapdragon X-powered models like the Acer Swift Go A14 and Asus VivoBook 16 priced at Rs 50,000 and Rs 65,900, respectively.
Additionally, Snapdragon is expanding beyond just laptops, with mini desktops and small form factor devices already announced at CES 2024. This signals potential entry into the desktop market in the near future.
Conclusion
Snapdragon’s X series processors strike a balance between performance, battery life, and AI capabilities. By leveraging efficient NPUs and a clear product positioning strategy, they cater to a wide range of users.
