Store banner reveals Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7's design, shows off its slender frame
A few weeks ago, we heard that Samsung has sent out demo units of its next generation foldables to stores. Apparently, promotional materials are headed to stores too as we received this photo of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 banner stand over email.

Samsung has already claimed that the Z Fold7 will be the thinnest and lightest horizontal foldable yet. The company didn't offer exact numbers to back up its claim, but we have seen the leaked figures: 158.4 x 143.1 x 3.9mm unfolded.
And you can see that in the banner – the two halves of the phone are so slender, they barely house a loudspeaker grille and some microphones. In such cases, it's usually the USB-C port that's the limiting factor. Unfortunately, that is not shown on the banner.

The banner also makes it clear that Samsung is still all-in on AI. It recently teased Galaxy Z Fold7's AI camera features. Thankfully, this will not be the only camera upgrade – the Z Fold7 is supposed to be getting a 200MP sensor, though that's only a rumor for now.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 – alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7, Z Flip7 FE and new smartwatches – is expected to be unveiled on July 13 in New York, though Samsung has not sent out an official 'save the date' just yet.
Thanks to our tipster for sending in the photo!

This new Threads feature could change how people post about TV shows and games
Meta is continuing to develop Threads with features aimed at making it a more complete social platform. The latest addition is a spoiler tag that lets users hide parts of their posts, such as text or images, that reveal key plot points or other sensitive information. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the feature in a Threads post, explaining how it works. When creating a post, users can highlight certain parts and select "mark spoiler" to blur the content. Others will see a blurred preview and can tap to reveal it if they choose. According to Mosseri, Threads is "the only app of its kind to have this type of content label." Instagram Head, Adam Mosseri announces the 'mark spoiler' test. | Image credit — Mosseri on Threads That claim may be a bit of a stretch. Reddit has offered spoiler tags for years, letting users flag content that may reveal too much. While Threads is one of the few text-focused social platforms to adopt such a feature, it's not the first overall. Still, it's a useful addition that could help people feel more comfortable discussing shows, movies, games, or events without worrying about ruining the experience for others. Mark Zuckerberg posts a spoiler announcing the spoiler feature + an example of how the feature works. | Images credit — @Zuck and @oncescuradu on Threads This new test comes shortly after another major Threads update: Meta is also testing direct messaging within the app. That change has sparked debate, with some users welcoming the added functionality while others are concerned about the potential for abuse. For many, the lack of DMs was a key reason Threads felt safer than other platforms. Both features show that Meta is serious about expanding Threads and increasing user engagement. Since launching as a companion to Instagram, Threads has added trending topics, post editing, and different feed options. These steps suggest Meta wants the app to stand alongside other major platforms like X and Reddit, rather than just be a lightweight alternative. The spoiler tool itself is a thoughtful move. It allows for more open conversation while respecting people who want to avoid key reveals. Given that Threads is tied to real Instagram profiles, there's also a higher chance users will be mindful of how they use it. That said, calling it a unique feature may not hold up when compared to what other platforms already offer. But if Meta can keep building out Threads in smart, user-friendly ways, it could become a real competitor in the social media space.

Hall-of-Fame leaker disseminates images of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 line
Last month we passed along renders of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic showing off a squircle design similar to last year's Galaxy Watch Ultra model. Today, famed leaker Evan Blass posted images showing the design of the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and the Galaxy Watch 8 Ultra (2025). All three timepieces seem to share a common look with each model featuring a squircle design. To accommodate the squircle design and a rotating bezel, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will feature thicker bezels than the other watches in the series. According to Blass, the three watches in the line will be named the Galaxy Watch 8 , Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025). The trio should be unveiled next month during the company's next Unpacked event which will include Sammy's new foldables for 2025. Image of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8. | Image credit-Evan Blass The Galaxy Watch series for 2025 will be running One UI 8 Watch and the first beta release was pushed out this week. The One UI 8 Watch interface includes Wear OS 6 which will supposedly include better battery life, the new Material 3 Expressive design language, and a more modern look that flows better. It also will include dynamic color theming which takes the dominant color from your selected watch face and uses it to create colored accents that match throughout the timepiece's interface. Image of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. | Image credit-Evan Blass You might think that little extras like this will run through the Galaxy Watch 8 model's battery life as though it were the last couple of slices of rare roast beef at a carnivore convention. But Samsung says that there will be a 10% improvement in battery life from Wear OS 5 to Wear OS 6. Image of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Ultra (2025). | Image credit-Evan Blass Samsung currently owns a 9% share of the global smartwatch market according to Counterpoint Research. Those results put the South Korean manufacturer in third place worldwide after Apple and Huawei. The summer's Unpacked event is rumored to take place on July 13th in New York City. Last year's event was held on July 10th so the rumor mill might be right. There was a prototype Galaxy Watch 8 Classic already posted for sale on eBay. Model number SM-L505U features 64GB of internal storage with LTE support and a 46mm case. It was priced at $150 and was not sold.

Trump Mobile carrier launches in the US with gold-colored Trump T1 Phone
The Trump Organization, run by US President Donald Trump's sons Donald Jr. and Eric while he's in office, has just announced that it's going to offer wireless service in the US, branded Trump Mobile. It will be an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), using the actual networks of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Its plan will cost $47.45 per month, because Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States and was also the 45th. This is called The 47 Plan, and will include unlimited talk, text, and data, "complete device protection" (whatever that means), 24/7 roadside assistance through Drive America, telehealth services (including virtual medical care, mental health support, and easy ordering and delivery for prescription medications), and free international calling to more than 100 countries. It will involve "no contracts" and "no credit check". Trump Mobile is also hyping up an exclusive smartphone, the T1 Phone, which is going to be gold-colored and will set you back $499. This is coming in August or September (the website mentions both) and is allegedly "proudly designed and built in the United States". The T1 Phone has a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, a 50 MP main camera, a 2 MP depth sensor, a 2 MP macro camera, a 16 MP selfie snapper, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 20W PD wired charging. There's also a 3.5mm headphone jack, a fingerprint sensor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of expandable storage, Android 15 on board, and absolutely no information about the chipset that's powering it. You can already pre-order the phone from the Trump Mobile website, and switch to Trump Mobile by bringing your own phone too. The company promises 24/7 live US-based support too, should you need it.
