Check out these detailed renders of the Galaxy Watch8 series
We can now be almost entirely sure what the Galaxy Watch8 series will look like, thanks to this latest batch of press renders, courtesy of Evan Blass.
The renders show the Galaxy Watch8 in Black, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic in White, and the Galaxy Watch8 Ultra 2 in Blue. The big thing this year is the move to a squickle design across the series - you may love it, some might loathe it, but it's here to stay.
The vanilla Galaxy Watch8 has a flush glass top (most certainly sapphire), two separate buttons on the right and a loudspeaker on the left.
The new-look Galaxy Watch8 Classic features a rotating bezel around its 1.5-inch screen, and a new three-button layout on the right, which looks almost identical to the one on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, with a crown button in the middle and two buttons on its flanks. Whether the button will rotate or be just a pusher like on the Galaxy Watch Ultra is unclear.
Finally, the second-generation Galaxy Watch Ultra has a fixed blue-and-orange bezel, an orange middle button, and a grey titanium case.
Expect all three watches to feature Samsung's existing Exynos W1000, LTE connectivity, and Wear OS 6. The new wearables are expected alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 on July 9.

Samsung Foundry halts long-term ambition, receives much-needed orders from Tesla
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. | Video credit — Samsung translated source Receive the latest Samsung news By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy Do you care about 1.4 nm processors? Yes, smaller is better No, it will barely make a difference Yes, smaller is better 0% No, it will barely make a difference 0% 2 nm chips are here to stay Samsung manufacturing Tesla's Dojo chips Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Samsung is okay, for now Last year, it was revealed that Samsung planned on producing 1.4 nm chipsets by 2027. This was a very ambitious plan, as the foundry was struggling with 3 nm yields at the time. However, Samsung was able to stabilize that process, and has now made the 3 nm Exynos 2500 official . We will be seeing this processor in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , which will be unveiled next a report ) has revealed that the company is pausing its plans for 1.4 nm chips. What was once slated for 2027, now may not even begin until 2028. For now, Samsung Foundry is focusing on perfecting its 2 nm process, which it wants to use for the Exynos wants to perfect its 2 nm process because, according to the report, the foundry's 2 nm yield is currently at 20-30 percent. That is not feasible, and may even delay Samsung's plans to debut the Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26 also worth noting that Apple will be using 3 nm chips for the iPhone 17 series this year. Samsung's largest rival in the smartphone space — at least in the U.S. — doesn't plan on using 2 nm processors until the iPhone 18 series next year. As such, it's not like Samsung will fall behind immediately if it's unable to get its 2 nm yields sorted out of the reasons that Samsung Foundry has been facing trouble recently is the lack of clients. Many companies choose to opt for foundries with a proven track record, like TSMC (). However, Samsung's lower costs are, understandably, an attractive option as that end, Samsung Foundry has allegedly received orders from Tesla to manufacture the Dojo chips using its 2 nm processes. This was first reported by The Elec — a Korean news site — but the article has been taken down and is 'under review'. It wouldn't be the first time that Samsung has asked for specific information to be removed.A copy of the original news story can be read here , retrieved by renowned tipster and semiconductor analyst Jukanlosreve. The report claims that Samsung will resume work on its plant in Taylor, Texas, in hopes that it will be operational in time to fulfill Tesla's orders. It is absolutely crucial that Samsung's 2 nm yields should have improved by the time this plant goes I'm sure that postponing the plans for 1.4 nm chip production must have stung, it hardly jeopardizes Samsung's future. As mentioned earlier, Apple won't even start using 2 nm chips until late next year. Samsung has plenty of time, and the jump from 2 nm to 1.4 nm would have hardly been chip measurements are marketing more than anything. If Samsung is able to perfect its 2 nm yields and deliver Exynos chips that can hold their own against Snapdragon, then the company will make it out just as it was able to do for its 3 nm process, I think it shouldn't take long for Samsung to improve the yields of its 2 nm chip manufacturing. When that's done, I hope that we'll finally have an Apple silicon moment for Exynos.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 leaked prices are bad news for Samsung fans
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are just a few weeks away according to the latest report, which means it's time for those juicy details about these highly-anticipated foldables. Yep, we're talking about pricing options. As Samsung's most expensive phones, the Galaxy Z series doesn't sell more units than the company's Galaxy S lineup. Unfortunately, Samsung seems to make it increasingly difficult for its fans to grab one of its foldables, at least at launch. A new report that leaks the prices of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 in Europe, suggests both foldables will be more expensive than their predecessors. Although we're talking about European prices, which include a high VAT, something that does not apply in the US, we're still looking at a nearly 10% percent price increase. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 prices : Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (256 GB): €2.225 (256 GB): €2.225 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (512 GB): €2.310 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 prices : Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 (512 GB): €1.425 Just to put these leaked prices into perspective, the Galaxy Z Fold 6's retail price was €2.000, while the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was available for purchase for around €1.320 at launch. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 render | Image credit: AndroidHeadlines Based on the leaked information, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 will be €200 and €100, respectively, more expensive than their predecessors. These figures have been taken from an Italian retailer's database, so it's unclear if these will actually be the final prices for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 .Best case scenario, Samsung will not increase the prices of its new foldables, and customers will be able to pick them up for the amounts we know from last year. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 will be available in 256 GB and 512 GB models. As far as the hues go, the former will come in two colors – Silver Shadow and Jet Black, while the latter will be available in Black, Blue Shadow, and Coral Red. Samsung has already started teasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but it didn't confirm when the phone will be announced. However, reputable leaker Evan Blass claims Samsung will introduce both foldables on July 9. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

But that's not the only thing that recommends Honor's Magic V5 as one of the most interesting foldables of 2025. The foldable is not just very thin, but it's also light at just 217 g. Just to put this in perspective, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 weighs 239 g, while Oppo Find N5 and Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold weigh 229 g and 257 g, respectively. Along with the images shared by DCS, a few other tipsters have taken to Twitter to leak most of the Magic V5's specs.

The phone will feature a 6.45-inch cover display and a huger 7.95-inch main screen. As far as the camera is concerned, we have some conflicting rumors that claim the Magic V5 will feature either a 200-megapixel or a 50-megapixel main camera. However, all the reports we've seen until now agree Honor's foldable comes with a triple camera. Today's report mentions a triple 50-megapixel rear camera system (main + ultra-wide + telephoto). Besides that, the Magic V5 will also include a dual selfie camera: 20MP + 20MP.

To top it all off, Honor has added UP68/IP69 rating, IR blaster, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and NFC (Near Field Communication) support. Honor has already confirmed it will unveil the Magic V5, alongside MagicPad 3, on July 2, but we expected the brand to continue to tease the phone, so some of these specs might get confirmed by then.
