Thin, light, high-powered, and it folds!
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers an 8-inch OLED screen, a 200MP camera, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and a 4,400mAh battery. The Galaxy AI experience is baked in, offering tools across the camera, Circle to Search, and much more. Best of all, Samsung continues to evolve their fold folding hinge assembly, promising reduced visibility of the crease.

To many, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the very best foldable smartphone in the industry. It's also quite expensive at just a penny under $2,000, though. You'll want to take advantage of any deal you can get! While this isn't a discount, many of us already shop at Amazon, so the $200 Amazon gift card will come in handy. I actually use Amazon for some of my grocery shopping, so I will end up saving anyway.
You're still paying a premium price, so you should expect to get a premium smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold is as good as foldable phones get. For starters, it is very powerful, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM. Performance is up there with the best Android phones.

Of course, the main highlight is the internal display. It is large at a whopping 8.0 inches, edging on tablet territory. It also features a Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X screen with a sharp 2,184 x 1,968 resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This makes it an amazing device for watching videos, playing games, or even general browsing. It also makes it an impressive multitasking machine, allowing you to easily enjoy multiple windows and apps simultaneously.
You won't always want to unfold the device or use the giant screen, though. It uses a lot of power, and comes with an extra step. The 6.5-inch external screen makes it easier to take care of quick tasks.
The design is sleek and sturdy, featuring an aluminum frame and an IP48 rating, making it both water—and dust-resistant. The camera system, while not up there with the Galaxy S25 series, is relatively good. It also comes with a 4,400mAh battery, which is honestly not that impressive. That said, making a foldable phone comes with its sacrifices, and these are very common in the world of foldables.

A good flip phone that could have been more
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers some of Samsung's most impressive flip phone hardware ever, featuring a 4.1-inch edge-to-edge cover screen and a thickness of just 13.7mm when closed. It also has a larger 6.9-inch inner display, good general performance, and seven years of Android updates. The Flip 7 is a great buy for Samsung fans, but if you're willing to look at the competition, there are better options available.

Those who prefer smaller phones will love the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. It easily fits in any pocket without adding much bulk. It's also nice that it's nowhere near $2,000! This one goes for $1,099.99. It's still pricey, but much more reasonable, especially considering you get a free $200 gift card right now.
Performance is still quite impressive, thanks to the Samsung Exynos 2500 chipset and 12GB of RAM. This is more than enough to keep most users happy; you would have to really push its limits to notice any slowdowns.

The main internal display measures 6.9 inches. It's still a gorgeous Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel with a sharp Full HD+ resolution and smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The external display is much smaller than the Fold's at 4.1 inches, but that is actually a very nice size for a flip phone. It can handle quick tasks and notifications perfectly.
The design is just as nice, with an aluminum frame, and it also comes with an IP48 rating. And while the device is significantly smaller than the Fold 7, the battery isn't that much smaller at 4,300mAh.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE

Budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip
With as few compromises as possible to bring the price down, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE rocks a 6.7-inch main display, a 3.4-inch front display, and an Exynos chipset.

While not exactly cheap, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is for those who want a quality flip phone at a lower price. It's $899.99, and this one comes with a free $100 Amazon gift card.
All things considered, the differences between the Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE aren't that huge. Casual users will still be happy with it. It has a decent Exynos 2400 processor and 8GB of RAM. It's not as impressive, for sure, but it's more than enough to keep the device running smoothly most of the time.

The battery is also smaller at 4,000mAh, but it keeps the same camera system as the main Flip 7. The 6.7-inch screen is smaller, but it has the same Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel, Full HD+ resolution, and 120Hz refresh rate. That said, the external screen is smaller at 3.4 inches. The aluminum frame and IP48 rating are also the same.
Are you getting any of these new Samsung foldable phones? The free gift card offers have already been around for a while, so we can't imagine they will last much longer. Take advantage of these offers while you can!

Alexa+ just spoiled my kid's birthday — here's what happened

While making dinner last night, I noticed Alexa+ flashed an item in my cart across the screen. I didn't think anything of it, and actually appreciated the reminder to get moving on the purchase. It had done that before, especially with my "Buy Again?" items that I frequented orderd. But when my 10-year-old unassumingly prompted Alexa+ to "Show recent orders," I stood horrified as all the presents I hoped to give him in a few weeks flashed on the screen. The cheerful, humanlike voice began reading off all my recent Amazon orders — including every single gift I'd carefully hidden for his birthday. He froze. I panicked. And just like that, the surprise was ruined. We use Alexa+ daily in our house. It's our kitchen timer, trivia partner, and morning DJ. But I hadn't realized that Alexa+ would so easily share my entire shopping history just because someone asked. No password or special code required. My son didn't mean to spoil his birthday. But Alexa gave him a complete rundown of everything I'd ordered, including the exact Ronoldo jersey he'd been asking for since June. Alexa+ is great at being helpful. But in a household with kids, that helpfulness can quickly become a privacy hazard. Right now, Alexa doesn't distinguish between who's asking, and it will gladly share your shopping, calendar events and reminders out loud, to anyone. It even communicates effortlessly with my four-year-old who adorably fumbles over certain words like his favorite color, "'lello." That means, kids can accidentally uncover gifts or surprises and shared devices can blurt out private or personal info. Anyone in the room can ask for your order history. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. If you use Alexa+ in a shared household, take these steps to keep your gifts, plans and private purchases under wraps: I still like using Alexa+. To be clear, it was just doing what it was supposed to do as an AI assistant. However, this was a wakeup call, for sure. I've learned it needs some firm boundaries in a house with kids. Until Alexa can tell the difference between a curious child and a parent planning a surprise, it's on us to keep those secrets safe. My advice is if you're planning gifts, parties or holiday surprises, don't skip this setting, unless you want Alexa to do the unboxing early.

Tesla Cybertrucks Wanted By Air Force As Missile Targets

The U.S. Air Force is looking to buy two Tesla Cybertrucks for use as targets for precision munitions during testing and training. The service says it needs these vehicles for this purpose specifically because of the prospect of unspecified adversaries driving around in them in the future. The Cybertrucks are among 33 target vehicles the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) is looking to acquire and have delivered to the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico, according to contracting documents recently posted online. WSMR is run by the U.S. Army, but the Air Force has a significant presence there. There are no name-brand requirements for the other sedans, bongo trucks, pickups, and SUVs, that are also on AFTC's shopping list. The primary intended use of all of the target vehicles is in support of U.S. Special Operations Command's (SOCOM) Stand Off Precision Guided Munitions (SOPGM) program and related training. SOPGM covers multiple special operations-specific air-launched precision-guided munitions, including multiple variants of the AGM-114 Hellfire, the AGM-176 Griffin missile, the GBU-69/B Small Glide Munition (SGM), and the GBU-39B/B Laser Small Diameter Bomb (LSDB). The explicit requirement for the Cybertrucks – which do not need to be in running condition, but do need to be able to roll towed behind another vehicle – requires a formal sole-source justification, a redacted copy of which is among the documents that AFTC has shared online. 'On 13 February 2025, market research was conducted to assess the competition for the Tesla Cybertruck by evaluating its design, materials, impact resistance, and innovative technologies. The study revealed that the Cybertruck's aggressively angular and futuristic design, paired with its unpainted stainless steel exoskeleton, sets it apart from competitors typically using painted steel or aluminum bodies,' the justification document explains. 'Additionally, its 48V electrical architecture provides superior power and efficiency, a feature that rivals are only beginning to develop. Extensive internet searches and industry outreach by [redacted] found no vehicles with features comparable to those of the Cybertruck.' More importantly, '[redacted] intends to uses [sic] specific Tesla manufactured vehicles for target vehicle training flight test events. In the operating theatre it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks [sic] as they have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact,' it adds. 'Testing needs to mirror real world situations. The intent of the training is to prep the units for operations by simulating scenarios as closely as possible to the real world situations.' The document does not elaborate on the 'operating theatre' or 'the enemy' in question, and TWZ has reached out to the Air Force for more information. Tesla effectively eliminated its public relations department years ago, but we have also reached out to its investor relations department for comment. As of this spring, an estimated 46,000 Cybertrucks have been sold to date, though the exact number is unclear. Currently, Tesla only offers Cybertrucks for sale in North America, though examples have been exported elsewhere in the world. Tesla did announce in April that it was planning to start direct sales in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar before the end of the year. Without more context, it is hard to say what may have prompted the belief that U.S. adversaries might soon be driving Cybertrucks. It is worth noting that the primary targets for SOCOM's SOPGM arsenal, at least as they are publicly known, have been terrorists and militants, especially ones riding in cars and trucks, in the Middle East, South and Central Asia, and parts of Africa. The Cybertruck's windows and side panels have been shown to be bullet-resistant, stopping subsonic pistol caliber rounds, something that was heavily touted with the vehicle was first unveiled in 2019. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has described the vehicle, which has a retail price starting at around $80,000, as being 'apocalypse-proof' in the past. At the same time, the Cybertruck has been dogged by recalls, controversies, and criticism over its actual performance, features (or lack thereof), safety issues, build quality, ownership terms of service, and more. There have been reports this year of flagging sales. TWZ did previously lay out a detailed case for a militarized uncrewed version of the Cybertruck, which you can find here. Multiple companies are now offering Cybertrucks with add-on armor and other features aimed at prospective law enforcement, military, and private security customers. There have been some sales of Cybertrucks to law enforcement agencies, including the Dubai Police. The U.S. State Department made headlines earlier this year over a possible purchase of Cybertrucks, a plan it subsequently said had been shelved indefinitely. The Dubai Police General Command has added the Tesla Cybertruck, the modern electric car with a futuristic design, to its tourist police luxury patrol fleet. — Dubai Policeشرطة دبي (@DubaiPoliceHQ) June 16, 2024 Last year, Ramzan Kadyrov, the dictatorial head of Russia's semi-autonomous Chechen Republic, also showed off several Cybertrucks with 12.7mm machine guns mounted in the back and claimed to have sent some of them to join the fighting in Ukraine. How and where Kadyrov, who the U.S. government and others have sanctioned, acquired the vehicles is unclear. He later claimed that Tesla had remotely disabled at least one of them. Kadyrov of Chechnya published a video with Tesla Cybertruck with a machinegun installed — Liveuamap (@Liveuamap) August 17, 2024 After complaining Elon Musk remotely disabled his souped-up Cybertruck, Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov claims he has sent two more that Tesla couldn't turn says he sent them to the "zone of the special operation" in Ukraine. This was presumably filmed elsewhere. — max seddon (@maxseddon) September 20, 2024 What we do know is that the Air Force is looking to buy a pair of Cybertrucks to fire missiles and bombs during testing and training events based on the possibility that American forces may encounter enemies driving them going forward.
