Galaxy Z Flip 7, Flip 7 FE renders leak, showing bold colors and a huge cover screen
Evan Blass TL;DR Leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 show a nearly full-screen external display and three color variants: Blue Shadow, Coral Red, and Jet Black. The more budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE appears almost identical to the Z Flip 6 with standard White and Black colors. Both devices are expected to launch at next month's rumored Galaxy Unpacked event, possibly powered by Exynos chips. Samsung is rumored to hold a Galaxy Unpacked next month, where it is expected to launch its next generation of foldables, wearables, and audio lineup. We've been hearing about these products for months now, and we've even seen renders of them before. Now, a prominent leaker has shared what appear to be finalized product renders for the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Flip FE, giving us our cleanest look yet at two of the upcoming foldables. Leaker Evan 'evleaks' Blass has shared these new Galaxy Z Flip 7 renders through their Leakmail substack: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 - Blue Shadow Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 - Coral Red Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 - Jet Black In the renders above, we see three colors for the Flip 7, namely Blue Shadow, Coral Red, and Jet Black. Curiously, this Jet Black hasn't been mentioned for the flip foldable in previous color leaks, so there's a chance it could be exclusive either to the US or to In these renders, we can see Samsung has finally moved on to an almost full-screen cover display with the Galaxy Z Flip 7. There don't appear to be other physical changes, though I love what Samsung is going for with the Blue Shadow color. Here are the renders shared for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE - White Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE - Black The Flip 7 FE looks much like the Galaxy Z Flip 6, especially in these simpler White and Black colors that were also present on the Flip 6. While foldable tech still feels futuristic, the cover display looks dated, especially since several competitors offer a larger cover display. Evan Blass has an excellent track record, but we still have to treat all leaks with skepticism until the company makes an official announcement. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to come with the Exynos 2500 SoC, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to come with the Exynos 2400e SoC. We hope to learn more about these phones in the coming weeks. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ . You can stay anonymous or get credit for the info, it's your choice.

Blockchain's Role In Fighting Food Fraud: Is Your Food Lying To You?
Frederik Gregaard, CEO, Cardano Foundation Navigating blockchain's impact on global finance & governance. Does the maple syrup you poured on your pancakes this morning actually contain just maple syrup? Or has an unscrupulous seller added in corn syrup, cane sugar or synthetic sweeteners that you would never choose to consume? What we eat has consequences for our health, well-being and finances, but even well-informed consumers can fall subject to food puffing or fraud. Food fraud (the act of misleading consumers to believe a product is something other than it is) is one of the most widespread global crimes affecting both companies and consumers today, with some recent estimates putting the cost of food fraud at $40 billion annually. The effects for both the businesses who engage unknowingly with unscrupulous providers and consumers are far-reaching, affecting both consumer trust and potentially business reputation. In some cases, food fraud can lead to serious health risks. It is not a problem we can afford to ignore. So, what can the average food or beverage provider do about this? Government regulation, though it catches some fraud, cannot combat all of it as much as government agencies might try. Notable examples in the past couple of decades of bad actors that agencies have caught and prosecuted include the melamine scandal in China, whereby kidney damaging chemicals were added to infant milk, or the widespread olive oil and horse meat frauds in Europe. For every notable case that gets uncovered, however, there are many more slipping under the radar. Food fraud isn't a new problem: For as long as there has been food, there has been food fraud. As far back as the Middle Ages, records highlight vendors adding chalk to flour, lead as a sweetener or shells, stones or dust to spices. What is new, however, is our capability to deal with it. Evolutions in technology can give us an answer to food fraud that we have never had before. That answer is blockchain. Why Blockchain Is Uniquely Suited To Combat Food Fraud For those unfamiliar with blockchain technology, a simple explanation is that it provides a shared ledger that stores records across a wide computer network, making it one of the most transparent, immutable and tamper-resistant technologies in the world. While traditional and smaller businesses have sometimes been slow to adopt new technologies, blockchain is one solution that has the ability to revolutionize supply chain traceability and authentication. Traditional supply chains, particularly for more traditional or long-established food and beverage suppliers, often rely on more outdated processes to conduct business: spreadsheets, email orders, manual intake forms, paper-based contracts and other difficult-to-trace processes. These processes make it hard to track products, ensure authenticity and understand transportation or storage conditions. In each of those processes, whereby information cannot be easily verified, the possibility of error or even outright fraud is introduced. This is where blockchain really comes into its own. An Ancient Product Meets The Most Modern Technology In 2021, the Cardano Foundation, in partnership with Scantrust, was given the opportunity to showcase blockchain technology and solve a problem for a unique enterprise: How could small and growing wine producers in Georgia, thought to be some of the oldest wine producers in the world, ensure the authenticity of their products while breathing new life into the knowledge and appreciation of Georgian wine on a global scale? We helped them leverage a bespoke supply chain traceability and anti-counterfeit solution that could allow artisan producers to meet digitally savvy consumers on a global scale. Initially rolled out in partnership with a family-owned vineyard, this solution highlighted how traditional enterprises can be enhanced rather than challenged by modern technology. Built on a connected goods and products platform that provides digitalization for brand protection, supply chain traceability, and consumer engagement, the solution allowed potential customers to scan a QR code on the back of a bottle of wine. From that scan, the consumer could see proof of the wine's authenticity, from grape to bottling and sale. This increased consumer trust and ensured consumers that they were indeed supporting a family-owned and artisan operation as intended. In return, these winemakers were able to connect metadata that might not otherwise have been collectible, meaning they could follow the wine along its journey and see exactly where it ended up. In this case, this included markets they had never sold in before, allowing the organization to extend sales and marketing reach in those areas if they so wished. Similar success stories have been seen with major global organizations. French supermarket conglomerate Carrefour first piloted this technology with chickens in 2018. Siemens, too, has implemented blockchain solutions to help with seafood traceability. Implementing Blockchain Successfully Food fraud may never be fully eliminated, and blockchain, while revolutionary, is not a silver bullet. If you are vetting a solution that promises immediate gains without a bit of trial, error and training, be wary. As an emerging technology, "out-of-the-box" blockchain solutions are not ubiquitous, so partnering with a resourced and knowledgeable provider is essential. As we experienced with our Georgian wine solution, with new practices, employee training and regular testing are essential to a smooth implementation process. This also demands buy-in from all stakeholders. If your entire team isn't on board—and up-to-date on how to use this new technology—you won't get very far. These initial start-up challenges are not insurmountable, though. With some due diligence, it's possible to get past those stumbling blocks and start reaping the benefits of blockchain technology, a solution that I believe poses a modern solution to an ancient problem.
