Samsung Galaxy Unpacked last-minute leak: Galaxy Z Fold 7 may drop S-Pen support

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked: Last-minute leak reveals shocking downgrade
A tipster named Roland Quandt shared a series of images on the microblogging platform Bluesky, revealing the marketing material of today's Samsung launch event. The images revealed greater details about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 ahead of its official launch. As per the images, the foldable will likely measure 4.2mm in thickness when unfolded and could weigh 215 grams. We can also see the mention of advanced armor aluminium, Armor Flexhinge, and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.
However, the tipster highlighted that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 marketing material does not mention of S-Pen. This has led to speculation that Samsung is dropping the stylus support to maintain the slimness of the foldable. Earlier, the S Pen Fold Edition was sold separately from the foldable, but this year Galaxy Z Fold 7 may not come with S Pen support at all, making a major downgrade for buyers.

Apart from the design standpoint, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 camera features were also tipped, revealing that it will feature a 200MP main camera with next-gen ProVisual Engine, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto lens. It was also highlighted that the smartphone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and the same 4400mAh battery.
Coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, the foldables are expected to be 4.1mm slim when unfolded. It was also highlighted that the Z Flip 7 could feature a 4300mAh battery, whereas the FE version could have a smaller 4000mAh battery. However, we may have to wait until the launch to confirm how Samsung will differentiate the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE.

To build hype for the new flagships, Google has been releasing small teasers of the Pixel 10 models, giving us a glimpse into the smartphone design and the new Moonstone colour variant. While the entire lineup looks exciting, the standard Pixel 10 models are expected to be a smart buy this year. Reportedly, the Pixel 10 model is rumoured for a major upgrade, and we can see several Pro-like features coming to the device. Therefore, if you are planning for a flagship upgrade, then know about these 6 biggest upgrades coming to the Google Pixel 10. Google Pixel 10 is likely to offer several upgrades over its predecessor. Here are the 5 biggest upgrades we know so far.(Screengrab/Google) Google Pixel 10: 5 biggest upgrades Improve performance with Tensor G5: Google is expected to introduce the next-generation chip, the Tensor G5, for the entire Pixel 10 lineup. Reportedly, the processor is built with TSMC's 3nm process, bringing greater efficiency and improved performance. Therefore, with Pixel 10, we can expect refined performance in comparison to its predecessor. New telephoto lens and tele-macro feature: The Pixel 10 is expected to feature a new telephoto camera. Earlier, the base model consisted of a dual camera setup that included a main and ultrawide camera. Now, the Pixel 10 will likely feature an 11MP telephoto lens with a Samsung 3J1 sensor. Additionally, Google may introduce the tele-macro feature that may use both telephoto and ultrawide lenses for macro shots. Upgraded display: This year, the Pixel 10 model is expected to feature a 6.3-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with an upgraded 120Hz refresh rate. This year, the smartphone is expected to offer a brighter screen along with improved PWM dimming rate. This is said to reduce eye strain and screen flickering. Qi2 support: The Pixel 10 is expected to offer Qi2 wireless charging. However, it is unclear whether the smartphone will get Qi2 Ready certification or will support the magnets in the phone body. Either way, Qi2 wireless charging is more efficient and convenient. We can also expect a faster charging speed. Google AI Pro free trial: Lastly, Google could offer a Google AI Pro subscription to Pixel 10 users. However, it may have a limited period of 3 or 6 months. With a free trial, users will be able to access the latest AI models, increased cloud storage, video and image generation models, and much more. Despite several upgrades coming to the Google Pixel 10, the price is expected to remain the same as last year. Therefore, buyers can enjoy upgraded features at a similar price to the predecessor.
