Samsung set to launch Galaxy Z Flip 7, Fold 7 & Fold Ultra at July 9 event in New York
Samsung has officially confirmed a high-profile launch event set for July 9 in Brooklyn, New York, where it is expected to reveal its newest foldable smartphones — the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Fold 7, and a possible premium entry, the Fold Ultra. The event, dubbed Samsung Unpacked 2025, will also be live-streamed on Samsung's website and YouTube. Sticking to its mid-year schedule, Samsung aims to steal the spotlight before Google's and Apple's fall launches. This year's foldables are rumored to be thinner, lighter, and feature enhanced displays, upgraded cameras, and longer battery life. A notable addition could be the 'Ultra experience' teased by Samsung, which points toward a high-performance foldable — possibly the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra — with a powerful camera and integrated AI tools. While the Galaxy S series remains Samsung's top-selling product line, the company is betting big on foldables. Since launching its first folding phone in 2019, Samsung has dominated the segment, though competition from Chinese brands like Honor and Oppo is heating up with sleeker designs. The event may also showcase updates on Project Moohan, Samsung's mixed-reality headset being developed in collaboration with Google. Running on Android XR, this headset could rival Apple's Vision Pro in terms of functionality and design. Additionally, a new wearable device may make its debut. With Apple rumored to enter the foldable space in 2026, Samsung is clearly racing to solidify its lead in this futuristic category. Stay tuned for what promises to be a game-changing reveal.

Australian regulator clashes with YouTube over first-ever teen social media ban exemption
Australia's internet watchdog and Google-owned YouTube engaged in a spat, after the regulator urged the government to reverse its planned exemption for the video-sharing platform from a world-first ban on social media for teens. Australia aims to be the first country to fine social media companies that fail to block users under the age of 16. Where does the issue between Australia-YouTube stems from The government, led by Anthony Albanese, had previously indicated it would grant YouTube a waiver, citing the platform's utility for educational and health content. Other social media giants, including Meta's Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, have argued that such an exemption would create an unfair playing field. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant revealed she wrote to the government last week, advocating for no exemptions when the law takes effect. She highlighted the regulator's research, which found that 37% of children aged 10 to 15 reported encountering harmful content on YouTube – the highest percentage among all social media sites surveyed. 'This is not a fair fight where our kids are concerned, vis-a-vis social media sites,' Inman Grant said. She contended that social media companies employ 'persuasive design features" like recommendation-based algorithms and notifications to maximise user engagement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Inman Grant specifically accused YouTube of having 'mastered those, opaque algorithms driving users down rabbit holes they're powerless to fight against.' Google says advice 'inconsistent and contradictory' In a swift rebuttal via a blog post, YouTube accused Inman Grant of providing "inconsistent and contradictory advice." Rachel Lord, YouTube's public policy manager for Australia and New Zealand, asserted that the Commissioner "chose to ignore this data, the decision of the Australian Government and other clear evidence from teachers and parents that YouTube is suitable for younger users," referencing government research that found 69% of parents considered the platform suitable for those under 15. When questioned about surveys supporting a YouTube exemption, Inman Grant firmly stated her priority: "about the safety of children and that's always going to surpass any concerns I have about politics or being liked or bringing the public onside."

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold leak says it will have IP68 rating before Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 July 9 launch
We are less than a month away from the launch of Google's Pixel 10 series, but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from giving us a fair idea of what to expect from the upcoming devices. Yes, devices — as four phones are expected to launch in the series: Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold. In the latest development, details about the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's durability have surfaced. Back in March, an Android Headlines report gave us our first look at how the phone might look. And now, information related to the phone's hinge and durability has to a new report by Android Headlines, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to feature a thinner hinge. A thinner hinge, in turn, would allow Google to reduce the bezel size and fit in a larger display compared to the current 6.3-inch panel on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The report suggests that the 10 Pro Fold will come with a 6.4-inch cover screen. For context, this would make it 0.1-inch larger than what we see on the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro Fold, and even the upcoming Pixel 10 and 10 Pro — both of which are rumoured to feature 6.3-inch it's not just the cover screen that may get a size bump due to the thinner hinge. The overall footprint of the phone is also expected to be slimmer. While the renders of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold show a design strikingly similar to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the actual dimensions could be slightly different, if these leaks are to be believed. For reference, the Pixel 9 Pro is just 5.4mm thick when unfolded and 10.5mm when folded, with a weight of 257 grams. Based on the leaks, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be slimmer and lighter than its As for durability, the report also mentions that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may come with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Now, this might not sound like a big deal, considering most candybar-style phones — whether flagship or mid-range — have had IP68 ratings for a while. But foldables haven't quite reached that level. In fact, the best dust and water resistance rating on any foldable today is on Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which feature an IP48 rating. The '4' in IP48 means that Samsung's foldables are protected from dust particles larger than IP68 rating, however, would mean protection against dust as well as water immersion in up to 1.5 metres of water for 30 minutes — putting it on par with standard flagship phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 said, while it all sounds promising — that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may gain an IP68 rating — rumours suggest Samsung may beat Google to the punch, as the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also expected to feature an IP68 rating. Whether that happens or not remains to be Google Pixel 10 series is set to be unveiled on August 28, followed by an announcement on August 20.- Ends
