TL;DR Good Lock modules like Home Up, MultiStar, NavStar, and QuickStar have been updated with support for One UI 8.
Home Up's update also brings several new features and improvements to the DIY Home Screen feature.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE are out, and they are the first phones to get stable One UI 8 update. With their launch done and dusted, we expect Samsung to begin rolling out stable One UI 8 to the rest of its lineup very soon. In anticipation of an impending rollout, Samsung has updated its HomeUp and MultiStar Good Lock modules to support One UI 8, so power users feel right at home with the update.
We've spotted updates for MultiStar as well as for NavStar and QuickStar modules that makes them compatible with One UI 8:

As you can see, the MultiStar module has been updated to v10.0.32 with support for One UI 8. This update also brings an exclusive 'Launcher widget' feature for the Flip 7 and two new settings for all multi-window support devices. The App Screen Size Conversion setting provides an icon for easy switching between full, landscape, and portrait modes, whereas the Portrait Mode Screen Ration Adjustment setting lets you toggle between 16:9 and 21:9 ratios.
The NavStar and QuickStar modules have also been updated with support for One UI 8, but their changelog doesn't contain any other interesting tidbits.
Speaking of interesting, Home Up is one of the most prolific Good Lock modules you can install on your Samsung Galaxy phone. As spotted by Sammy Fans, it has received a healthy update that bumps up compatibility with One UI 8 and brings a ton of new features. Several of these features are for DIY Home Screen, like alignment guides, item grouping, edit lock, floating toolbar, and more.
Other changes include Page Indicator Hiding for a clean home screen, Horizontal Scrolling in 'Alphabetical Order' mode, HomeUp Quick Access pop-up, app launch animation tuning settings, and more.
Combined, these are substantial updates to some of the most prolific updates, and the newer features will be appreciated once more phones get their stable One UI 8 update.

The Fujifilm X-E5 proves familiar isn't always a bad thing

The X-E5 is Fujifilm's tiny powerhouse. It's part of a line of cameras that has often been described as similar to the X100, except with an interchangeable lens. But the X-E line has evolved this year and is taking on a new shape. It used to be seen as a budget option, but at $1,699, that can no longer be said. Despite the fact that I've used almost every Fuji out there, this was my first time playing around with any of the X-E line of cameras. The X-E5 is a gorgeous, petite, and classy-looking camera with sharp lines throughout the body, and with buttons and an occasional concave edge for some extra flair and a distinctive look. It is ever-so-slightly shorter and thicker than the X100VI, but weighs about the same when paired with one of Fujifilm's pancake lenses. It is hard to keep your eyes and hands off of it. Over the last few weeks using the camera, I've had a lot of people asking me about it. Two even assumed it might be a Leica. The camera build feels incredibly solid. The dials and the buttons are very clicky; even the side door just feels right. The hinges on the flip screen are sturdy, and it can flip all the way around for some vlogging, too. All those little details matter and make the camera feel premium, but unfortunately this camera is not weather sealed (something you'd also expect for this price). The big new feature for the X-E is the dedicated film simulation dial. We've seen other Fujis adding these, but this was my first time using it. I rarely shift between film simulations since I have a few of my own, which I stick to 99 percent of the time. But the dial does make saving these sims easier, and encouraged me to experiment with different looks a lot more than before. When it comes to video, you get 6.2k up to 30fps and 1080p up to 240fps. The X-E5 can also film in F-Log and F-Log 2 color spaces, so there is plenty of latitude for post-processing, which will match well with other Fujifilm cameras. And there's HLG HDR too. The rolling shutter isn't the greatest, although it's far from bad. But the X-E5 shouldn't be your primary video camera for two big reasons: the video mode takes a toll on this battery, and I've had it overheat after 13 minutes of continuous filming. As stated earlier, this Fuji is equipped with the same sensor we've seen for a few years now. It is a 40MP BSI CMOS 5 sensor and it is capable of making some great images. It has been my favorite Fuji sensor since the CMOS III. The photos are sharp, with plenty of detail, and the noise levels are well managed. Anything above 2000 ISO will slowly start to break down and look mushy and soft. This is where the 7-stop IBIS comes in and helps you to keep that shutter open for a bit longer, therefore lowering your ISO too. I brought this camera with me on a trip to Mexico along with a handful of lenses. The X-E5 proved to be a brilliant travel camera. I loved having the option to stick to my pancake 27mm for an ultra-compact setup or bring the all-rounder 16-55mm zoom lens for some versatility on a long day out. But despite how much I loved my time with the X-E5, all of the recent Fujifilm cameras are becoming too similar to each other when it comes to performance. Some of those cameras excel in some way, but the X-E5 doesn't have anything unique going for it. It is a classic jack of all trades. And that's not a bad thing. But once you start looking at the prices, you might have some second thoughts. When the X-E4 came out it was $850 and was seen as a hidden gem in the lineup. At $1,700, it starts to become a harder sell. However, if you do pick this one, be assured you're picking a brilliant and gorgeous camera. It might no longer be a hidden gem, but it's still a gem.

China proposes global cooperation body on AI

SHANGHAI, July 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from The Chinese government has proposed the establishment of a world AI cooperation organization as part of its efforts to bolster open, inclusive and equitable artificial intelligence development and governance globally. Premier Li Qiang announced the initiative when addressing the opening ceremony of the 2025 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai. Li emphasized the need for collaborative approaches to global AI governance to ensure that intelligent technologies are developed for the good of all. More than 1,000 high-level representatives from upwards of 40 countries and international organizations attended the opening ceremony of the three-day event, themed "Global Solidarity in the AI Era". Li said that the risks and challenges brought by AI development, such as machine hallucinations, deep fakes and AI proliferation, have aroused widespread attention. There is an urgent need to further consolidate a societal consensus on how to achieve a balance between development and security in the AI sector, he said. Li said greater emphasis should be placed on collective governance to ensure that AI ultimately benefits humanity. Given that global AI governance appears fragmented, it is essential to enhance coordination and alignment among countries around the world to establish a framework and rules for global AI governance with a broad consensus, he added. Noting that China places great importance on global AI governance and actively participates in promoting multilateral and bilateral cooperation in this regard, the premier said the nation is willing to offer more Chinese solutions to the international community and contribute more Chinese wisdom to global AI governance. In 2023, China proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative to promote an open, inclusive and fair approach to the development and governance of AI technologies. Last year, China proposed the AI Capacity-Building Action Plan for Good and for All to bridge the AI and digital divides, and to ensure the Global South benefits equitably from AI development. China actively promotes open source development, and is willing to collaborate with countries around the world to promote progress in software and hardware technologies, intensify open source initiatives, and collectively propel AI development to higher levels, Li said. Also on July 26, the conference adopted the Global AI Governance Action Plan, which calls on all parties to work in solidarity to advance AI development and governance.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is finally here, officially. That means preorder deals have ended, but you can still get a great offer.

Just tap the button below to get started with Verizon and get your pair of phones. Or, keep reading to learn more about the phone and the details of how to get the BOGO offer. In any event, this is the one of the most exciting smartphone deals of the moment. Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 We've been pretty obsessively cataloging everything we can about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7; everything from its hinge to its use as a cinematic screen has been uncovered, pondered, and considered. And now that it is officially out, we'll continue to update you on our thoughts, but it is pretty safe to say that this could very well be the upgrade we've been waiting for when it comes to flip phones. It has a wide display, a tough aluminum frame, and a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 display for something that'll have great longevity. Plus, there's an incredibly nice cover screen for quick text checking, song switching, and more. To get the phone, plus a bonus phone for free, tap the button below to begin your order. The requirements to get the BOGO offer are quite simple; you just need to buy the phones on a new line with either the Verizon Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan.
