More Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumours come in, design details revealed
Samsung is hosting its Galaxy Unpacked event (virtual) tomorrow, May 13, 2025, for the launch of its ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone. However, the company's next Unpacked event is expected in early July, and the latest rumours have emerged, giving us a good idea of what to expect from the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. The foldable phone is tipped to be Samsung's thinnest and most refined foldable yet. A fresh leak now claims the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could measure just 8.9mm when folded and an incredibly slim 3.9mm when unfolded. If true, this would make it slimmer than any other foldable phone on the market today, including the Oppo Find N5, which currently holds the record at 8.93mm when closed.advertisementThe Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also rumoured to feature a lighter build, a new hinge mechanism for a less visible crease, and an upgraded triple-camera setup led by a 200-megapixel primary sensor. Of course, nothing has been officially confirmed by Samsung yet, so we suggest taking this piece of information with a healthy grain of salt.According to tipster Ice Universe, now known as Ice Cat on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung has made big progress with the design of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The leaked dimensions — 8.9mm folded and 3.9mm unfolded — will be a major step up from last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6, which was 12.1mm thick when closed and 5.6mm when opened. Even the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, released in select markets like South Korea and China, is comparatively bulkier, measuring 10.6mm when folded.

Despite the reduced thickness, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to pack a 4,400mAh battery — the same capacity as its predecessor. The battery was recently spotted in a 3C certification listing, suggesting it will also adopt new battery and charging technologies for better performance.In a separate post, the tipster has also mentioned that the bezels on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 are said to be just 1mm thick. For perspective, the Galaxy Z Fold 6's bezels measure 1.9mm.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It will likely be paired with 12GB RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. Reports say the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature a 6.5-inch cover display and an 8.2-inch inner foldable screen. There are also hints at a more advanced cooling system and a cleaner, almost invisible crease.In terms of cameras, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is tipped to come with a 200-megapixel primary rear camera, which will be a major jump from the 50-megapixel sensor used in the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It may be paired with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 10-megapixel telephoto sensor.Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7 at a Galaxy Unpacked event in early July. Reports suggest the launch will take place in New York, marking a return to the US after two years of overseas launches. The company is also likely to unveil the Galaxy Watch 7, a new Android-powered XR headset, and possibly tease other foldables like the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Galaxy G Fold.

Have a Galaxy phone? Samsung publishes tips on how to use it for longer
Let's be real, running out of phone battery in the middle of the day is one of the great inconveniences of modern life. Whether you're finding your way to some new brunch joint or in the middle of a heated group chat debate, your phone breaking down on you is less than convenient. But if you are using a Samsung Galaxy phone, the company has shared a few tips that can help you use the phone for a long time. Here are a few ways to stretch the life of your battery, and most don't even need a degree in electrical Dim that screen brightnessYour Samsung Galaxy's screen may be beautiful, but it's also a power-sucking beast. Turning down the brightness and minimising your screen timeout can make a big difference. Swipe from the top of your screen to pull down the brightness slider and slide it to the left. You can also make your display turn off faster when it's not in use; a 30-second timeout with Auto Brightness enabled is a good combination.2. Evict battery-draining appsStill clinging to apps you haven't opened since 2022? It's time to say goodbye. Background apps can silently drain your battery. Long-press on the app icon on your home screen and tap "Uninstall", or navigate to Settings > Apps to uninstall them in bulk. Can't uninstall it? Disable it is your next best option, particularly for recalcitrant pre-installed apps.3. Reconsider Always On displayadvertisement Samsung's Always On Display is convenient for glancing at the time or notifications, but it's also a subtle battery killer. Go to Settings > Lock screen > Always On Display to either turn it off entirely or make it show only at specific times.4. Cut the wireless chatterIf you're not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off. Each of these features regularly scans for connections, which eats up battery. Toggle them off via the pull-down quick settings menu.5. Switch to Power Saving ModeEnable Power Saving Mode to restrict background activity, dim the screen, and take a performance hit -- all for the greater good of your battery. Go to Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery to enable it manually or set it to activate automatically.6. Update software and watch syncingOld software may be a secret battery killer. Look for updates in Settings > About phone. Also, curb apps that sync constantly, such as email or social media. Have them sync less often or only when you refresh manually.7. Handle with careAvoid letting your battery run flat. Modern lithium batteries don't appreciate being fully discharged. Try to keep your charge above 20%. And if you're putting your device away for a while, store it at around 50% charge in a cool, dry place. No, the freezer doesn't count — it'll do more harm than good!8. Watch the signal strengthLow signal? Your phone will work overtime trying to connect, draining the battery. If you're in a weak coverage area, consider switching to Aeroplane Mode when not actively using the device.

Musk vs Trump Feud: 10 ways they can destroy each other—legally
When Thomas Anderson is first unplugged from the Matrix, his body convulses. His mind rejects the truth. 'He's going into arrest,' they warn, as his world crumbles. Because when you've lived too long in an illusion, reality doesn't just disappoint—it short-circuits you. That's where Elon Musk is now. He's been yanked out of the warm, binary womb of TrumpWorld. No more bromance tweets. No more wink-wink White House briefings. No more red-carpeted corridors of power where he could whisper about AI doomsday while nudging SpaceX contracts. Just cold, hard betrayal. And now? Now he wants revenge. Here are 10 gloriously real, absurdly powerful, and completely legal ways that Trump and Musk can rip each other apart—like Neo and Agent Smith in an alley full of bad ideas. 1. Trump Pulls the Plug on Musk's Federal Billions Trump, fresh off a fiscal sobriety bender and looking for budgetary scapegoats, has a new mantra : 'No woke space toys on my dime.' He's already floated cutting $3 billion worth of contracts to Musk's empire. That's not just pruning—it's taking a chainsaw to the money tree. Tesla loses its tax credits. Starlink gets kicked out of the Pentagon's good books. SpaceX is told to sit in the corner while Blue Origin waves from the Oval Office with a smug Bezos smirk. This isn't just defunding—this is strategic neutering. 2. Musk Threatens the Republic via Rocket Blackmail Musk didn't wait to be hit first. He threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft —the one that ferries NASA astronauts and lunch packets to the International Space Station. The unspoken message? Nice space programme you've got there. Be a shame if something happened to it. Suddenly, space diplomacy looks more like a hostage negotiation with a Bond villain in a Twitter hoodie. 3. Trump Can Yank Elon's Security Clearance Every time Elon boasts about top-secret briefings, there's an Air Force general somewhere crying into his gin. His clearance—granted through his role in military space launches—could be revoked with one swipe of Trump's Montblanc pen. Without it, Musk becomes a liability rather than an asset. He can still launch memes, just not missiles. And without Pentagon favours, his whole 'Iron Man meets Ayn Rand' routine collapses into a Reddit thread. 4. Elon Funds a Third Party Just to Spite Him In classic Musk fashion, the Tesla tzar tweeted a poll asking if he should start a new centrist political party. It was part libertarian fantasy, part MAGA middle-finger, and 100% chaos. Over 1.8 million people voted 'Yes.' Even if it doesn't win , a Musk-backed third party could siphon off enough voters to sabotage Trump's 2028 ambitions. Think Ross Perot meets a Neuralink experiment gone rogue. 5. Trump Targets Musk's Ketamine Chronicles Bannon has demanded a drug probe into Musk's ketamine-fuelled soirées, suggesting the billionaire is 'not of sound mind.' That's ironic coming from a man who looks like he was raised on moonshine and conspiracy theories. But in TrumpWorld, personal destruction is political strategy. Imagine Musk dragged into a Senate hearing with Marjorie Taylor Greene asking, 'Were you or were you not high when naming your child X Æ A-12?' 6. Musk Unleashes Epstein Allegations Without warning, Musk lobbed a digital hand grenade: that Trump's White House deliberately delayed the release of Epstein files because his name may have been in them. He offered no evidence—just vibes and vengeance. But in a country where 30% of voters think Wayfair sells children, that's enough to spark headlines, hearings, and hashtags. When Elon says, 'Mark this post,' he's not just trolling—he's threatening to turn on the lights in a room no one wants to see. 7. Trump Ends DOGE—the Bureaucratic Crypto Baby The Department of Government Efficiency, nicknamed DOGE, was Musk's vanity project: part startup, part prank, part Silicon Valley fever dream. Its mission? Replace Washington's bureaucratic sludge with blockchain optimism and quarterly reports. Trump could axe it tomorrow and return the halls of power to their natural state: clogged, confused, and blissfully analog. No more agile government. No more 'lean federalism. ' Just 500-page PDFs printed in triplicate. 8. Elon Withholds the Final $100M Musk had pledged a total of $350 million to support Trump's 2024 run. But the final $100 million is still hanging —like a Sword of Damocles in a cryptocurrency wallet. Trump, a man who treats loyalty like a Costco membership, doesn't forgive open wallets with closed zips. This isn't just about money—it's about respect. And Musk knows just how much Trump hates being ghosted, especially by someone richer. 9. Trump Questions Musk's Citizenship The Birther playbook is back. Bannon claims Musk is an 'illegal alien.' Never mind that Elon's been a naturalised American citizen since 2002. Trump doesn't need facts—just vibes, slogans, and a red hat. Expect rallies where Trump says, 'Elon? Great guy. But I'm hearing things. People are saying.' That's how the political meat grinder starts: with an innuendo and ends with a Senate subcommittee. 10. Musk Starves MAGA's Internet Starlink, Musk's satellite internet service, powers vast swathes of rural America—aka MAGA heartland. One well-timed update and Fox Nation stops loading. Steve Bannon's podcast gets frozen mid-rant. Truth Social becomes Truth Unavailable. Musk doesn't even need to admit fault. He can just smirk and say, 'Server overload. We're working on it.' MAGA may love him, but they'll riot if they miss Tucker's rerun. Final Thought: Welcome to the Unplugged War This isn't a feud—it's a glitch in the Matrix. Two megalomaniacs, both convinced they are The One. Trump, the spiritual father of populist politics. Musk, the meme-mad prophet of techno-libertarianism. They fed each other, validated each other, needed each other. But now the code is breaking. And if The Matrix taught us anything, it's this: when reality reasserts itself, the ones who rejected it scream the loudest. Musk took the red pill. Trump wrote the damn pill into law. Now they're locked in a fight to see who can bend reality back first. Only one can emerge from the simulation. The other gets ratioed on his own app.
