Samsung drops big Exynos 2500 news ahead of Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 launch
The Galaxy Unpacked event is fast approaching, and unless you've been living under a rock, you probably already have an idea of what Samsung is planning to launch at its big mid-year event. The spotlight is, of course, on the Galaxy Z series foldables, and if the leaks are anything to go by, they're set to get one of the biggest design upgrades we've seen so far. But there's something else that's got people talking — and it's to do with the Galaxy Z Flip 7. If recent reports are accurate, the phone could be powered by Samsung's own Exynos 2500 chip. And if that's true, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might just come with a pretty big feature — emergency satellite connectivity.advertisementAs per a press release by Skylo, the Exynos 2500 chip — which is expected to power the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — will support emergency satellite connectivity when you're out of mobile network range. The feature works through the Exynos 5400 5G modem inside the chipset, which supports NB-IoT NTN connectivity using low-earth orbit satellites. A few other phones already offer this feature, including Apple's iPhone 14, 15 and 16 series, and the Google Pixel 9 phones. Interestingly, the Pixel 9 series (excluding the Pixel 9a) also uses Skylo's satellite tech and the same Exynos 5400 5G modem, but built into Google's Tensor G4 chip.Coming back to the Unpacked event, Samsung is expected to launch a range of foldable phones and wearables. Alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, we could also see the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE — the first Fan Edition foldable — and maybe even a new device called the Galaxy G Fold. If the leaks are accurate, this might be Samsung's most ambitious foldable yet, with a triple-fold design that could open up into a larger display. We haven't seen much confirmed information about this phone just yet, but its appearance at Unpacked would definitely be a big moment.advertisement
As for what to expect from the main foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumoured to get a much slimmer and lighter design, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might come with a bigger screen and the new Exynos 2500 chip. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could be Samsung's way of making foldables a bit more affordable, without removing too many key features.Samsung is also expected to launch the Galaxy Watch 8 series, which includes the standard Watch 8, the Watch 8 Classic, and the Watch Ultra 2. One of the biggest design changes here could be the new squircle shape — a square chassis and a round dial — which is expected across the entire range. The watches will likely run One UI 8 Watch, based on Wear OS 6.

Apple brings Journal App to more devices with iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe
Apple's native Journal app, first introduced in 2023 with iOS 17.2, is set to make its way to the iPad and Mac later this year, the company confirmed during its WWDC 2025 keynote. The expansion comes alongside the launch of iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26, which will bring a host of new features to Apple's ecosystem. The journaling app, designed to help users document their thoughts and daily experiences, will now take full advantage of the hardware and interface capabilities of the iPad and Mac. Until now, the app has been limited to the iPhone, but the move to bring it to more devices is seen as a natural progression. On the iPad, Journal will gain support for the Apple Pencil, allowing users to include handwritten notes, sketches, and drawings within their entries. Additionally, users will be able to insert photos, audio clips, and other media to enrich their daily logs. The larger screen real estate and multitasking capabilities of the iPad are expected to enhance the journaling experience significantly. Mac users, meanwhile, will benefit from the familiarity and efficiency of a physical keyboard, offering a more seamless way to type entries compared to the iPhone's on-screen keyboard. Apple also highlighted that the app will support multiple journals for different themes or life events, all of which will be synchronised across Apple devices via iCloud. Journal entries will be end-to-end encrypted and securely stored on iCloud, ensuring privacy and peace of mind. To safeguard content further, entries can be locked using Touch ID or Face ID, depending on the device in use. The app also introduces features aimed at helping users revisit their memories, such as a location-based map view of entries, the ability to bookmark moments, and advanced filters to search through past logs using criteria like photos, locations, and fitness activities. Powered by on-device machine learning, Journal provides intelligent prompts tailored to each user's recent activity — including places visited, music played, and photos taken — to encourage meaningful and consistent journaling habits. The updated Journal app will become available on iPad and Mac with the rollout of iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26, both scheduled for public release later this year. With its arrival across Apple's wider product range, the app is expected to become a more central part of users' digital lives, encouraging reflection and creativity on a broader scale.
