Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE review
No longer satisfied with offering a clamshell and a book-style foldable, Samsung is diversifying things by having two clamshells in addition to the Fold. A two Flips approach does seem to make sense - Motorola has had two Razrs in most markets, and competing at more price points is probably good for the bottom line.
The Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, in true FE fashion, comes with certain hardware concessions, though it's seemingly not as dramatic a downgrade compared to the 'real' model, as is the case with the S-series and their FEs. Indeed, this FE is more of a reissue of last year's model.
The Z Flip7 FE reuses the Z Flip6's cameras, but then so does the Z Flip7. Unlike the Z Flip7, however, here we're looking at the same body as the 2024 model, same displays, same battery, same most things. Well, the chipset is different - an Exynos 2400, like some S24s had - and Samsung figured 12GB of RAM is too much for an FE, so it's 8GB instead. The Z Flip7 FE does start its life at Android 16, though, two more than the Z Flip6, so there's that. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE 5G specs at a glance: Body: 165.1x71.9x6.9mm, 187g; Plastic front (unfolded), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP48 dust and water resistant (dust > 1mm; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), Armor aluminum frame.

Little is different in the presentation on the Z Flip7 FE compared to the Z Flip7 or the Z Flip6. The phone comes in a slim-line graphite cardboard box, unfolded, face down.
No charger is provided, but there's still a USB-C cable included - Samsung's basic 3A one, which won't be a bottleneck given the 25W charging rating. There's also a SIM tool tucked in there somewhere.

Nintendo sold almost 6 million Switch 2 units in less than a month
The Switch 2 continues to be a very successful product for Nintendo. Following over 3.5 million units sold in the first week, Nintendo has now announced that it's sold 5.82 million units by the end of June. That's almost a full month of availability, and the number is more than double what the original Switch managed in its first month on the market - 2.7 million units sold. Nintendo says demand for the Switch 2 is still exceeding supply "in many countries", and regrets the inconvenience this is causing. It's promised to increase production to match demand everywhere. The Switch 2 has become the fastest-selling game console of all time. The Switch 2's success has driven a 132% rise in quarterly revenue for Nintendo in Q2 (April to June), up to $3.8 billion, compared to Q2 2024 (around $1.6 billion). The company is forecasting 15 million Switch 2 units sold by the end of March next year. It remains to be seen how US tariffs may or may not impact that, as the Trump administration has just announced a 20% tariff on imports from Vietnam, where the Switch 2 is manufactured (up from 10% before).

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE full specs leak
Vlad, 01 August 2025 Samsung's Galaxy S25 FE has been in the rumors a lot lately, and today a full list of its most important specs has been outed. Let's dive right in. The phone is powered by the Exynos 2400 SoC, a slight upgrade from the Exynos 2400e in its predecessor. This is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of storage. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE The S25 FE comes with a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus on top, a 50 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 12 MP f/2.2 ultrawide, an 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP f/2.2 selfie snapper, and a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. It measures 161.3 x 76.6 x 7.4mm and weighs 190g. It's IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. It will launch running Android 16 with One UI 8 on top. So, compared to its predecessor, the S25 FE has a better chipset, a higher-res selfie camera, faster wired charging, and a smaller battery - the S24 FE has a 4,700 mAh cell. That wasn't a great size to begin with, but cutting it even further... we can't say we necessarily understand Samsung's logic here. Anyway, according to Samsung itself, the S25 FE will launch earlier in the year than the S24 FE did - and that one was unveiled at the end of September.
