This allows you to get one for less than $200, which is a pretty good price for all the things it brings to the table.Sure, it won't wow you with out-of-this-world performance, but its Snapdragon 695 SoC and 8GB of RAM allow it to tackle day-to-day tasks like web browsing and video streaming without any hassle. Meanwhile, its 6.72-inch LCD screen with a 2400 x 1080 resolution offers a pleasant viewing experience for the price, while its high 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and switching between menus buttery smooth.Another key selling point of the OnePlus Nord N30 is its impressive battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 review
After a couple of years of stagnation, Samsung is back on track. This year's Galaxy Z Fold7 offers real upgrades and improvements in key areas that were lacking in the previous generations. The new Z Fold7 catches up with the competition in terms of portability and camera experience as it's now considerably thinner and lighter, and employs a higher-grade camera setup. In the process, Samsung was able to give us a bit more screen real estate too. Both the inner and the outer screens are now bigger. Unfortunately, the company had to sacrifice the S Pen holster and S Pen support altogether, but killed two birds with one stone this way - larger displays and a thinner profile. The new cover screen is now 6.5", up from 6.3", and the foldable panel grew from 7.6" to 8.0", which is a solid upgrade. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 specs at a glance: Body: 158.4x143.2x4.2mm, 215g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2) (folded), plastic front (unfolded), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP48 dust and water resistant (dust > 1mm; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), Advanced Armor aluminum frame. 158.4x143.2x4.2mm, 215g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2) (folded), plastic front (unfolded), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP48 dust and water resistant (dust > 1mm; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), Advanced Armor aluminum frame.

The new Z Fold is equipped with better cameras as it borrows the Galaxy S25 Ultra's main ISOCELL HP2 200MP sensor. The auxiliary cameras are the same, but the ultrawide now supports autofocus, and that unlocks close-distance focusing. Moreover, the internal camera is now the same as the external one - 10MP, which is a solid upgrade over last year's 4MP. More importantly, the internal selfie cam is equipped with an ultrawide lens with significantly wider field of view. Despite the decrease in weight and thickness, the Z Fold7 features the same battery capacity as last year - 4,400 mAh, supporting familiar charging rates at 25W wired and 15W wireless. Last but not least, this year's foldables from Samsung launch with a brand new One UI 8, instead of offering just an incremental upgrade to the OS. More importantly, the One UI 8 is based on the still-unreleased Android 16, which makes this year's foldables the first devices to run Android 16 out of the box. On paper, the Galaxy Z Fold6 seems like a competitive high-end solution, but rivals aren't slacking either. Let's check out how the new Galaxy Z Fold7 stacks against its peers. Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 The handset comes in a modest-looking retail box, which contains only the standard user manuals and a USB-C to USB-C cable used for charging and data transfer. To get the most out of the fast charging capabilities, you need to buy a 25W Samsung charger or a compatible Power Delivery one that supports Samsung's PPS. Page 2

FCC criticised for coddling T-Mobile and endangering rural dynamics
T-Mobilehas been cleared for the takeover of UScellular by both the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), despite opposition by various stakeholders. The FCC is now receiving criticism for not imposing stricter roaming terms on T-Mobile . Unlike AT&T, T-Mobile , and Verizon, which are national carriers with nationwide coverage, UScellular is a regional telecom company with a focus on rural areas. T-Mobile is buying most of its operations for $4.3 billion, and the deal will bring over four million new customers. UScellular decided to sell itself because it was ill-equipped to meet the evolving needs of its customers, who were increasingly ditching it. The company was still important for other reasons, including providing employment in the 21 states it served and keeping competition afloat. The Rural Wireless Association (RWA) had requested that the FCC ask T-Mobile to honor the roaming arrangements UScellular had with rural companies, as highlighted by Fierce Wireless . The RWA is a trade association that represents rural carriers who each serve fewer than two million customers. —FCC, July 2025 The RWA feared that the transaction would otherwise harm both rural customers and rural carriers if T-Mobile insisted on unfavorable roaming agreements with RWA's requests were denied, with the FCC reassuring the coalition that its dispute resolution framework would ensure that any roaming agreements were roaming services from another carrier allows mobile wireless providers to ensure their subscribers aren't left without connectivity in areas where they don't provide service. Roaming agreements let carriers use the facilities of other companies to provide service to their customers when they travel outside of their service area. The RWA has criticized the FCC for rubber-stamping the deal, claiming it gave in to the demands of T-Mobile and UScellular. The FCC was seemingly only interested in using the deal approval as a lever to get T-Mobile to scrap its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program, which it dutifully did. UScellular typically signed reciprocal roaming agreements with rural companies, meaning both sides paid each other when their respective customers roamed onto each other's networks. T-Mobile , on the other hand, usually inks unilateral roaming agreements. This means that while customers of a rural carrier can use T-Mobile 's network, T-Mobile prefers not to provide service in an area with no terrestrial presence, instead of letting its subscribers access rural networks. —Carri Bennet, RWA's outside general counsel, July 2025 This represents lost roaming revenue for rural companies, and it might be enough to threaten their survival. When it greenlit T-Mobile 's purchase of UScellular, the FCC had said that rural providers who find it difficult to reach reasonable roaming deals with T-Mobile could file a complaint. This is often futile and leads nowhere. Analyst Roger Entner of Recon Analytics has suggested that the issue might be getting blown out of proportion. He said that rural carriers usually have reciprocal roaming agreements with at least one of the three major carriers, and UScellular was never an important part of the equation. —Roger Entner, principal of Recon Analytics, July 2025 Moreover, rural carriers aren't necessarily here for the long haul, and most will be glad to cash out when convenient. Another threat looming over roaming agreements with rural carriers is satellite service. T-Mobile 's Starlink-powered T-Satellite program will officially launch on July 23 and leave even fewer reasons for T-Mobile to enter into deals with rural carriers. If T-Mobile completely ices out rural carriers, it will further harm competition and might wipe them out. This will pave the way for T-Mobile to get its hands on even more spectrum. The DoJ had expressed concerns about spectrum aggregation when it decided not to stop T-Mobile from scooping up UScellular. The FCC, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have an issue with this, so regardless of RWA's objections, T-Mobile is only going to continue becoming more powerful now. However, if it means better service for rural areas, that might not matter much, at least in the short run.
