Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE comes with a massive disadvantage in the US
That's all well and good, and the Flip7 FE is the cheapest of Samsung's new trio of foldables, but in the US, you can't buy one from any carrier, whereas of course you can if you're looking for a Fold7 or Flip7.
It's unclear why this is, but no US carrier is offering the Flip7 FE, nor are any third-party retailers offering it with carrier plans. You can of course buy one unlocked from Samsung itself or Amazon or Best Buy, and then use it on your carrier of choice. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE 5G
But since most Americans buy their phones straight from their carrier, this is a pretty big missed sales opportunity for Samsung's most affordable foldable to date. If you want to learn more about the Fold7 and Flip7, don't miss our hands-on.

More details emerge about the iQOO 15
Back in May we heard that the iQOO 15 would have a 6.85-inch QHD+ Samsung-made flat LIPO OLED screen, and today the same prolific leaker going by Digital Chat Station on Weibo is back with more details. The phone will have a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, something the iQOO 12 had but the iQOO 13 gave up on, sadly (it only had a non-periscope 2x optical zoom telephoto). iQOO 13 The iQOO 15 also has an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, vivo's self-developed independent display chip, as well as support for 100W wired charging. iQOO is apparently still deciding whether to include wireless charging as well, but it does seem to be leaning towards adding this feature according to DCS. Alongside the periscope, it was one of the few things missing from the iQOO 13 if one wanted to declare it a true all-out flagship device. Of course, the iQOO 15 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, due to be made official in September. vivo iQOO 12 vivo iQOO 13 Source (in Chinese)

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 in for review
Hey there, Galaxy Z Flip7! Samsung's latest flip-foldable may fly under the radar that is the Galaxy Z Fold7, but we're willing to bet that this one is going to be more popular. Nothing's changed with the retail package - you get the phone, a SIM tool, and a USB-C cable. The Flip7 comes in two versions - 12/256GB and 12/512GB. You get a choice of Blue Shadow, Jet Black, Coral Red, and the online exclusive Mint. The biggest upgrade with this generation of Galaxy Z Flip is the cover screen. It now stretches from end to end to reach 4.1 inches - a big jump from 3.4 inches. Samsung shrunk the bezels and made the phone ever-so-slightly wider and taller to accommodate the new screen. Still, the Galaxy Z Flip7 measures 13.7mm closed, and 6.5mm when opened, compared to 14.9mm/6.9mm on its predecessor. The inner display also got a notable jump in size - from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches. It's noticeable. Back to the cover screen. It's smarter, too. By default, the Z Flip7's cover screen is like a big Galaxy Watch - you get widgets and not fully-featured apps. But you can force the phone to let you use all your apps on the screen - go to Samsung Labs, enable all apps on the cover screen, and then download a Galaxy Store app called MultiStar. Non-optimized apps don't use the entire cover screen, but it's worth it just to have them available! Still, Samsung lags behind Motorola in terms of cover screen functionality - The razr 60 Ultra can allow any app on its outer screen, no hacking needed! Anyway, we're trying our best to give you reviews of all the phones we have at the office but it will take some time! Kindly, be patient! Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a massive camera upgrade
Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra is supposedly coming in January, and according to a new rumor from China today, it might bring with it a massive camera upgrade. Namely, the main sensor is said to be Sony's upcoming 1/1.1" type with 200 MP resolution, the Japanese company's first with so many pixels. The Galaxy S25 Ultra uses the Samsung ISOCELL HP2, which has 200 MP resolution too, but is smaller at 1/1.3". The bigger size of the Sony sensor will let in more light, which should result in much-improved shots. The only asterisk here is that there's a chance Samsung will push the use of this Sony sensor to the Galaxy S27 Ultra in 2027. Hopefully the S26 Ultra will see it, but it doesn't seem to be a given according to the source of this rumor. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Source (in Chinese)
