It's either time for an upgrade or it's about time to try out the foldable life in general. Either way, this year's Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 looks like a promising next step, but the steep price tag might make you think twice and consider the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 instead. The new Z Fold7 is a few hundred bucks more expensive in some regions, which is a substantial amount. Yet, it's the biggest generational upgrade that the Z Fold lineup has had in recent years. It offers a more refined, lightweight and compact design, better performance, larger screens and an upgraded camera setup....
Samsung has already confirmed that it's launching the Galaxy S25 FE earlier in the year than its predecessor (which was unveiled on September 26). You may have been wondering exactly when to expect the S25 FE to make its debut, and a new report from Samsung's home of Korea claims to have the answer. It will allegedly be introduced on September 19. That's exactly one week earlier than the S24 FE, so it does count - then again, you may have been hoping for "earlier" to mean this month or in early September. The S24 FE actually became available on October 3, so if the September 19 date is...

After a few leaks, the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G made a surprise debut a couple of days ago. But it didn’t leak alone – there is a 4G version on the way too. A leak from Italy priced the 5G model (8/256GB) at €320 and the 4G model (same 8/256GB) at €290. When the A17 5G appeared in Spanish stores, the 8/256GB model was €310 – close enough. This suggests that the leaked 4G is accurate too (accounting for regional VAT differences). Leakster Evan Blass just posted images of the Samsung Galaxy A17 4G in black and light blue. The 5G model is available in black, a darker blue and gray. Here...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge will address one of the major complaints about the S25 Edge – the small 3,900mAh battery capacity – while pursuing the goal of ever-thinner designs. Ice Universe has shared several bits of information on the topic and now reports on the expected battery capacity and thickness of the 2026 model. “Galaxy S26 Edge 5.5mm 4200mAh”, simply writes The Cat. That is 0.3mm thinner than the current Edge with 300mAh more in the tank. However, a few days ago Ice reported that the S26 Edge will have a 4,400mAh battery instead. What’s going on? This might be the difference...

Apple unveiled iOS 26 in early June, along with the respective OS branches for its tablets, watches, computers and other gadgets. It’s a major visual overhaul that introduces Liquid Glass, but the company still isn’t done tweaking the looks. The update hasn’t reached the stable milestone yet, but work is progressing quickly and Apple is already on the fifth beta. After concerns that the effect was too strong, iOS 26 beta 2 toned down the Liquid Glass. However, that was an over-correction and beta 4 dialed it up a bit. Beta 5 doesn’t seem to have made any changes to Liquid...
