Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 'confirmed' to be Exynos-powered in the US
The never-ending story of which chipset Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip7 will use where continues. We've heard it would be going with the Exynos 2500 across the world, then we heard that Samsung's own chip would only be used in its home market of Korea, and now we're back to Exynos everywhere - more or less.
According to a new report, firmware files for the Galaxy Z Flip7 show it being powered by the Exynos 2500 in the US. This is significant because when Samsung does regional SoC differences, North America always gets the Snapdragon - always. But, apparently - not this time around.
Honestly, this has been a wild and incredibly confusing ride, and we still can't be sure any of these rumors are accurate. So it's best to just let Samsung announce the Flip7 in early July and officially tell us what it's doing, chipset-wise. But, all signs do point towards the long-delayed Exynos 2500 finally making its debut inside the Flip7, and thus becoming the first Samsung SoC to be used in a Samsung foldable.

Verizon establishes dominance in data usage during big US event

Besides that, Verizon's network covers some of the most important sports events in the this regard, the 2025 Indianapolis 500 race represents a big milestone for Verizon when it comes to data usage and connection. The carrier announced that in just one day, inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a total of 172 terabytes (TB) of data was used on the Verizon network. Why is this important? Because it's more than it's been seen on Verizon 's network at this race and one of the highest data usage events the carrier has ever recorded. To support the claim, Verizon released some data for everyone to see, so here we go: Explosive 5G Growth : A staggering 74.6% leap in 5G UW volume of 61 TB inside the track over last year's race (43 TB), revealing how fans are embracing the speed and capacity of 5G. : A staggering 74.6% leap in 5G UW volume of 61 TB inside the track over last year's race (43 TB), revealing how fans are embracing the speed and capacity of 5G.

Gemini now summarizes Gmail emails automatically and by default
Gemini will start summarizing your emails in Gmail automatically and by default. The summaries will appear at the top of the email content "for messages where a summary is helpful", Google says, "such as longer email threads or messages with several replies". Gemini will synthesize all the key points from the email thread and will automatically update the summary to include information from any subsequent replies. Before, you needed to tap "Summarize this email" at the top of a message in order to get this functionality that is now on by default and automatic. The feature is currently only rolling out for emails in English. For those emails that aren't flagged by Gemini as being ones where a summary would be helpful, it won't be automatically generated but you can still manually prompt it by tapping the Summarize this email chip at the top. The rollout to everyone is expected to take up to 15 days. Note that this will only be available, for now, to Google Workspace subscribers, Google One AI Premium subscribers, and customers with Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium. Source

This long-overdue change could make your Wear OS smartwatch way more useful
Wear OS 6 is introducing a key upgrade that many users have been waiting for. With the new version, Google is improving how the always-on display (AOD) works by allowing more parts of the interface, like media controls, to stay visible even when the screen dims. In the past, most Wear OS apps would hide their content when the screen entered ambient mode. Unless you were using apps like Google Maps, Keep, or Spotify, you would only see the time and a blurred screen when your wrist was down. This made it harder to quickly glance at useful information without waking the watch. Wear OS 5.1 always on display with media controls. | Image credit — 9to5Google Google is now changing that. With Wear OS 6, the interface will keep showing the last screen you were using in a low-power state. According to the company, the update combines different solutions into a consistent AOD experience across devices. For example, if you are playing music, you will still see the current track and playback buttons, even when the screen is in ambient mode. Wear OS 6 always on display with media controls. | Image credit — 9to5Google Media controls are also getting a visual update. The buttons are now styled using the Material 3 Expressive design. While in active use, the buttons appear bold and filled in. When the AOD is on, the same buttons become thin outlines, but they still show up clearly and remain usable. You can still see the song name and take action without tapping to wake the feature builds on what Google started with the Pixel Watch in Wear OS 5.1. That version had a hidden developer setting called Force Global AOD Experience, which kept the current screen visible in a dimmed state. Wear OS 6 is turning that idea into a standard are other improvements in Wear OS 6 as well. All tiles will now use the same font, making it easier to move through the tile carousel. Health permissions are also being updated, giving users more control over what data each app can access. Wear OS 6 is based on Android 16 and is expected to arrive later this year. While there is no confirmed rollout date yet, the changes could lead to a more consistent and helpful experience for smartwatch users.
