Samsung Teases Ultra-Grade Foldable Phone With a 'Powerful Camera,' AI Tools
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Fold seems to be joining forces with the top-of-the-line Galaxy Ultra.
The company on Wednesday shared a rather cryptic post teasing its next book-stye foldable, noting that it's bringing "an Ultra-experience" to "a smaller and more portable form factor." The phone is scheduled to launch this summer, Samsung says, and will include a "powerful camera" and "AI-powered tools" (of course).
Samsung didn't share much more than that, and hasn't noted anything else about what's in store for the successors to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. But the post does confirm that we can expect foldables in the summer.
This teaser raises many questions. Namely, just how powerful will the camera be on this new phone? Will it, like the skinny S25 Edge, match the 200-megapixel main camera on the S25 Ultra? And will the new foldable's cover display also match the size of the S25 Ultra?
Samsung appears to be on a "pushing the limits of engineering" kick, what with the recent launch of the super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge, and now this mystery Ultra foldable. We'll see what other details unfold with time.

76% of workers have seen senior colleagues resist new tech
This story was originally published on To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily newsletter. If you're looking for cues as to how your employees will adapt to new technology tools, consider the age profile of the organization's workforce. In a survey of 500 U.S. professionals across various industries conducted by Yooz, a provider of purchase-to-pay automation, more than three-quarters (76%) of all workers witnessed senior colleagues push back against new technology. Furthermore, 55% of millennials (those born 1981 to 1996) said they're 'excited and eager' to try new tools, while only 22% of baby boomers (those born 1946 and 1964) said the same. More than a third (35%) of the baby boomers said they feel cautious or annoyed, or prefer sticking to the old system, when new technology is plugged in. Not a single Gen Z survey participant (those born 1997 and 2012) selected that response. At the same time, about a quarter of Gen Z employees have refused to use a new workplace tool, more than any of the other generations, which Yooz characterized as Gen Z not being 'afraid to say no.' About AI specifically, 35% of Gen Z workers said they 'love' new tools, versus 13% of Boomers. Still, 40% of employees overall said they find AI helpful but unreliable. 'The takeaway: skepticism is still widespread, but younger employees see clear value,' Yooz wrote in its survey report. The report said organizations 'need to manage rollouts carefully: leverage the enthusiasm of younger adopters to build momentum, but also address the concerns of veteran staff who may need more reassurance to get on board.' The key to winning over anyone reluctant to embrace AI is building trust through real-world use cases and support, showcasing quick wins such as an AI tool that saves everyone time on a tedious task, Yooz wrote. Among employees, the most commonly cited need with regard to new technologies is better training on AI tools. More than half (52%) of those polled said their company takes a 'learn-as-you-go' approach, providing only some basic training or documentation. Relatively few employees said their employer provides 'a lot' of training on new tools. This embedded content is not available in your region. And, almost half (48%) of the employees said better training for all would be among the most effective ways to help a company adopt new technology more effectively. The research also delved into the question of who should drive decisions to implement new workplace technology. While younger employees are craving clear direction from the C-suite, at the same time, there is 'a call for more bottom-up input in tech decisions,' according to the survey report. More than a third (35%) of Gen Z respondents said new workplace tools should be chosen by leadership with input from younger employees. Additionally, more than a quarter of Millennial and Gen Z respondents said adoption would improve if leadership embraced change faster and more visibly. A sizable minority (28%) of Gen Z employees said they feel older employees are actively holding back innovation at their company. Yooz advised a collaborative approach to the issue, pairing 'tech-savvy younger employees with veteran staff to share knowledge and encourage cross-generational support during rollouts.' Yooz partnered on the research with Pollfish, a third-party survey platform, and it was conducted in February 2025.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says AI is ready for entry-level jobs—but unbothered Gen Z have made it their new work friend
Billionaire OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reveals that AI can already perform tasks of junior-level employees—and the ability for it to work days at a time is just around the corner. With fellow tech leaders like Nvidia's Jensen Huang saying those who fail to embrace the technology will be replaced, some Gen Zers are catching on. If you're in desperate need of an intern, there's good news: there may soon be an abundance of them. But they might not be able to fetch you a coffee. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted this week that AI agents—AI-powered systems that can complete job-related tasks with other software tools—can now effectively do the same work as entry-level employees. 'Today (AI) is like an intern that can work for a couple of hours but at some point it'll be like an experienced software engineer that can work for a couple of days,' Altman said on a panel with Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy. In the coming months, AI agents will only get exponentially better, Altman said—to the point where their skills are just as good as an experienced software engineer. They're anticipated to operate continuously for days on end, without pause. 'I would bet next year that in some limited cases, at least in some small ways, we start to see agents that can help us discover new knowledge, or can figure out solutions to business problems that are very non-trivial,' the 40-year-old AI CEO added. Fortune reached out to Altman for comment. While this may seem like a grim reality for some workers, the future of human employees' success may depend on following the advice of tech CEOs like Nvidia's Jensen Huang. He predicted those who fail to embrace AI might be the next employee to get the pink slip. 'You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI,' he said at the Milken Institute's Global Conference last month. Generative AI may be eclipsing the skills of entry-level workers—like conducting research or developing PowerPoints. Some Gen Z have already seen the writing on the wall, and begun embracing the technology more than other age groups. About 51% of Gen Z now view generative AI just like a co-worker or as a friend, according to a recent survey from That's compared to just over 40% of millennials and 35% of Gen X or baby boomers who feel the same way. Altman has gone even further to say that many young people (including millennials) are turning to AI for far more than just internet sleuthing: '(It's a) gross oversimplification, but like older people use ChatGPT as a Google replacement. Maybe people in their 20s and 30s use it as like a life advisor, and then, like people in college use it as an operating system,' Altman said at Sequoia Capital's AI Ascent event earlier this month. 'And there's this other thing where (young people) don't really make life decisions without asking ChatGPT what they should do,' he added. Not all tech leaders have been as upbeat about the future, and have instead used their public appearances to highlight fears of an AI-driven job market reckoning. According to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. Unemployment could skyrocket to 10% to 20%, he told Axios. To put that into context, it's currently at around 4%. Researchers at his company added that the next decade will be 'pretty terrible' for humans as desk jobs are automated, they told tech podcaster Dwarkesh Patel in an interview. This comes as the latest model of Claude—Anthropic's generative AI—can now reportedly code autonomously for nearly seven hours. This story was originally featured on
