I tested Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max in a 200-photo shootout — which camera phone wins?
Comparing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 against the iPhone 16 Pro Max puts Samsung's most expensive phone versus Apple's most expensive iPhone. And there is a huge quantity of differences. Although the iPhone 16 Pro Max is deservedly thought of as one of the best phones around, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with its folding design and even higher price tag, is on a different level. But users expect these phones to still cover the essentials, including taking great photos. To see how these two phones compare, I took them both out for a long snapping session. And below you can see my results, which will demonstrate that the major differences between these phones doesn't stop at just their shape or software. We begin with this parish boundary marker as the subject for our phones' main cameras. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's take on the scene has more color, while the iPhone's shot has more natural tones, in line with how I saw the scene on the day. A short distance away, looking up at a church through the phones' ultrawide cameras, we can see the iPhone's image is way brighter than the Samsung's, aside from the clouds, which are similarly bright and colored. This makes sense considering the size and resolution of the iPhone's 48MP ultrawide camera, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 uses a smaller 12MP one. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's weaker ultrawide camera also impacts its macro photography abilities. Its image of a yellow flower is much darker than the iPhone's, even if it's still detailed. Perhaps the lower light level will be preferable to some users, but it's not to my liking at least. Moving now to the telephoto cameras, we begin with the optical zoom level of the Galaxy Z Fold 7's telephoto camera. To hit this zoom, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has to use a cropped main camera image. You can tell from the softness of the iPhone image that it's not using a proper zoom lens, along with its weirdly dull coloration of this sign. The Samsung shot isn't particularly interesting, but it's definitely the better-looking one of the two with more contrast. Upping the magnification puts us into the native territory of the iPhone's telephoto camera. And its increased sharpness over the Z Fold's image is plain to see. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's flatter colors make for an interesting visual difference, too. Using the front-facing cameras on these two phones (the outer one in the Z Fold 7's case), we can see how the phones depicts a person and applies a portrait effect. The iPhone has given me exaggerated highlights in my hair and the brightest parts of my skin, and a warmer overall tone compared to the Z Fold 7, which has gone for a more natural coloration. The portrait effect in both photos is well applied, but interestingly the Samsung's blur is noticeably gentler. A Lego minifigure keyring posed on a dark shelf shows us how these phones deal with night mode/low light photography. The iPhone has turned in the brighter image, which isn't surprising given it took a seven-second exposure to the Galaxy's three-second one. But as a result, lighter parts of the shot look over sharpened with exaggerated highlights. As a result, I think I like the Z Fold 7's photo in this particular example. Looking across a park, we have a variety of colors for the two phones to depict. The brighter iPhone image brings elements like the purple flowers, the green lawn and the blue shopfronts in the distance to the fore, while the Z Fold 7 is using a flatter color tuning. It's especially noticeable in the sky, which comes across as a plain grey from the Galaxy Z Fold 7 but a more lively blue on the iPhone. The iPhone's pic is a brighter but a bit overexposed, while the Z Fold 7's shot is darker and a bit more evenly exposed. So it comes down to your preference. Putting the color difference aside, this coffee cup gives us a good demo of the two phones' ability to handle extreme light and dark in the same shot. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 gives us a shot that is not that different from the iPhone in terms of highlights, but there is a little more to see in the darker areas of the iPhone image, like the texture of the ceramics, or the chocolate powder spilling over the edge of the cup. Lastly, I took a shot with the phones' main cameras again, but set to their maximum resolutions - 48MP in the iPhone's case, and 200MP for the Galaxy. The iPhone image of this street scene is brighter, which helps make the dark-colored elements like the road, the trees or the buildings pop out more. But the Samsung, thanks to having over four times the pixels, gives you more detail when you zoom in, such as the clock near the center of the image. It's hard to make out in the small previous window above, but having more pixels to play with can be helpful for editing or reframing a shot after you've taken it. Personally, I think the iPhone 16 Pro Max comes out on top in this comparison. But much of what determines the winner of this comparison for anyone examining these images is going to be personal taste, due to the different ways these phones process images. Apple's focus on brightness and more intense colors is often a smart route to take, but Samsung's generally less exaggerated take on scenes can be the better one a lot of the time. There's not a huge amount splitting these phones apart in terms of image quality really. The iPhone is therefore the better value of the two, if you can call a $1,200 phone a "value" device. The Z Fold 7 still capturees excellent photos a lot of the time though, which some buyers may find tempts them to go for a foldable rather than a regular flagship.

Amazon: Capex Weighs on Profit Forecast
Key Points Amazon beat top- and bottom-line expectations, posting 13% revenue growth and 33% growth in earnings per share. Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue grew by 17%, but that falls short of the momentum rivals reported just a day ago. Amazon remains a powerful competitor with a lot of ways to win, but investors were closely scrutinizing profitability forecasts in light of continued spending on capital assets. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Here's our initial take on Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) financial report. Key Metrics Metric Q2 2024 Q2 2025 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $148.0 billion $167.7 billion 13% Beat Earnings per share $1.26 $1.68 33% Beat AWS revenue $26.3 billion $30.9 billion 17% Met Advertising revenue $12.8 billion $15.7 billion 23% n/a Amazon's Focus on AI Implementation and Payoff Investors had big expectations for Amazon, and in particular the company's AWS cloud unit, following strong results from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). Amazon revenue and earnings were up 13% and 33%, respectively, beating expectations, and AWS sales grew by 17% to $30.9 billion. Amazon's release boasted about its largest Prime Day to date and new partnerships including a Nike (NYSE: NKE) storefront. But the focus was clearly on AI. CEO Andy Jassy in a statement said that "our conviction that AI will change every customer experience is starting to play out," noting the company's moves not just at AWS but across Alexa, robotics, and other areas. Amazon sees more growth ahead, predicting net sales to come in between $174 billion and $179.5 billion in the current quarter. That would be up 10% to 13% from a year ago, and even at the low end is above the $173 billion consensus. But all of that growth is coming at a price. Operating expenses in the quarter were up 11% to $148.5 billion, and free cash flow decreased to $18.2 billion for the trailing 12 months, from $53 billion a year ago. AWS's operating margin for the quarter fell to 32.9%, from 35.5% a year ago. Operating income in the current quarter is expected to come in between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion. At the midpoint that suggests little growth over last year's $17.4 billion, and is slightly below analyst expectations. Immediate Market Reaction Investors were underwhelmed by the results. Amazon shares fell 3% in aftermarket trading following the release of the report but ahead of the company's call with investors. What to Watch The AWS growth, while impressive, on a percentage basis fell short of Microsoft's reported 34% growth at Azure. Microsoft surged post-earnings because the company successfully articulated the benefit of all of the AI spending. Investors will be eager to hear Jassy and other Amazon execs make the same case on the earnings call. Amazon is a lot more than AWS, posting 11% growth in product sales to $68 billion, while its advertising business was up 23% year over year. The company remains well positioned on many fronts, and is set up well to be a long-term winner. But in an environment where all eyes are on the investment -- and payoff -- of AI, investors have set a high bar on results and outlook.

Amazon earnings beat across the board, but shares fall as investors fret about trade headwinds
Amazon reported robust second-quarter 2025 financial results on July 31, surpassing Wall Street expectations with sharp revenue growth and notable gains in key business segments. Yet, investor enthusiasm was tempered as the company's shares dropped as much as 3% in after-hours trading, reflecting lingering concerns about retail headwinds and long-term spending plans. For the April-June period, Amazon posted revenue of $167.7 billion, climbing 13% year-over-year and outpacing analyst predictions of $162.1 billion. Earnings per share came in at $1.68, also topping the expected $1.33. Net income for the quarter reached an impressive $18.2 billion, more than a 10% increase from last year. Amazon's financial outperformance stems from strong execution across several areas. Though its sprawling retail operations remain the largest part of its business, the real engine of profit growth continues to be Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's cloud-computing arm. AWS and AI power profitability AWS generated $30.9 billion in revenue, marking a 17.5% increase year-over-year and landing squarely in line with industry forecasts. The unit contributed $10.2 billion in operating profit—more than half of Amazon's total $19.2 billion operating income for the quarter. This confirms AWS's role as Amazon's financial powerhouse, driven by surging demand for AI and cloud infrastructure as businesses accelerate technology investments. Chief executive Andy Jassy has spotlighted AI as a transformative force for Amazon, with the majority of 2025's planned $100 billion in capital expenditures dedicated to expanding AWS' capacity for generative AI and machine learning. As major clients move more workloads to the cloud and adopt AI-driven services, AWS remains positioned for long-term leadership, despite short-term margin pressures from its heavy investments. Retail and advertising show resilience Despite ongoing concerns about tariffs and consumer spending, Amazon's core online store sales grew 11% to $61.5 billion. The company's third-party seller services also expanded, with revenue rising 11% to $40.3 billion. Physical stores, including Whole Foods, delivered a 7% increase to $5.6 billion, while subscription revenue—such as Prime memberships—rose 12% to $12.2 billion. Amazon's advertising segment was a standout performer, raking in $15.6 billion in revenue, up 23% from the prior year. This ad business is becoming an increasingly critical pillar within Amazon's profit structure, as brands compete for consumer eyeballs on the platform's massive shopping interface. Challenges and outlook The company is navigating a complex macroeconomic climate that includes inflation, changing trade policies, and labor market constraints. Shipping expenses climbed 6% to $23.4 billion, reflecting both global cost pressures and heightened demand for fast delivery. Although Amazon's Q2 earnings don't reflect the impact of July's Prime Day—held after quarter's end—the company remains optimistic, projecting third-quarter revenue in the range of $174 billion to $179.5 billion, above analyst expectations. Operating income is forecast between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion. Meanwhile, Amazon's headcount inched up 1% year-over-year to 1.55 million, with CEO Andy Jassy signaling further workforce streamlining as automation and generative AI gain traction internally. 'Our AI progress across the board continues to improve our customer experiences, speed of innovation, operational efficiency, and business growth, and I'm excited for what lies ahead,' he said in the earnings press release. Investor response Despite the upbeat earnings report, Amazon stock fell in extended trading, illustrating Wall Street's wariness about continued retail volatility, capital-intensive growth, and competitive dynamics in cloud and AI. Still, analysts remain bullish on Amazon's strategic direction, citing leadership in cloud innovation, resilient retail fundamentals, and an aggressive expansion into the future of artificial intelligence.
