New Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 teaser says it's 'the thinnest, lightest' foldable
After releasing a really confusing teaser last week that made us believe a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra is coming next month, Samsung is now focusing on what actually matters when it comes to foldable phones: size and weight. While we definitely don't get the exact dimensions of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , Samsung makes some bold claims in its latest teaser for the upcoming flagship foldable.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is ' the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet .' The smartphone manufacturer also says that its engineers and designers ' are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter and more durable than the last .' If we read these two phrases in a different order it basically means that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be Samsung's thinnest and lightest foldable to date. I think it's safe to assume that Samsung's statement is 100 percent accurate and in line with the most recent reports claiming the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be thinner and lighter.

The rest of the blog post is just marketing stuff that has nothing to do with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 , so let's just do a quick recap of what we know about Samsung's foldable so far.
First off, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 's internal display is said to be the same size as the Z Fold 6 Special Edition. If the claim proves to be accurate, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could boast a large 8.2-inch internal panel.
As far as dimensions go, the last report we have dates from May and claims the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could measure just 4.54mm when unfolded and 9mm when folded. The rest of the phone's measurements look like this: 158.43 x 143.14mm.
Finally, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to pack a 4,000 mAh battery and a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Both Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be officially introduced in July.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE full specs leak
Vlad, 01 August 2025 Samsung's Galaxy S25 FE has been in the rumors a lot lately, and today a full list of its most important specs has been outed. Let's dive right in. The phone is powered by the Exynos 2400 SoC, a slight upgrade from the Exynos 2400e in its predecessor. This is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of storage. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE The S25 FE comes with a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus on top, a 50 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 12 MP f/2.2 ultrawide, an 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP f/2.2 selfie snapper, and a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. It measures 161.3 x 76.6 x 7.4mm and weighs 190g. It's IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. It will launch running Android 16 with One UI 8 on top. So, compared to its predecessor, the S25 FE has a better chipset, a higher-res selfie camera, faster wired charging, and a smaller battery - the S24 FE has a 4,700 mAh cell. That wasn't a great size to begin with, but cutting it even further... we can't say we necessarily understand Samsung's logic here. Anyway, according to Samsung itself, the S25 FE will launch earlier in the year than the S24 FE did - and that one was unveiled at the end of September.

Apple has already sold more than 3 billion iPhones
Vlad, 01 August 2025 If you've been wondering what the total number of iPhones ever sold is, we now have the answer, straight from Apple itself: as of today, over 3 billion. This was revealed by Apple CEO Tim Cook during the company's earnings call a few hours ago. Apple reached one billion iPhones sold in 2016, and is believed to have gone up to two billion sometime in 2021, although that hasn't been officially confirmed so far. And now, four years after that, another billion units have been sold. Cook said iPhone sales were up by double digits in the second quarter of this year (April to June), and Apple earned $94 billion in revenue, which was up 10% over Q2 of last year. Interestingly, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is always in the know with Apple-related stuff, has implied that the uptick in iPhone sales during this quarter might have been due to people panic-buying as a consequence of fear-mongering claims on the internet "predicting" that iPhones would end up costing $3,000 to $25,000 because of new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Apple says the new tariffs cost it $800 million in Q2, and it expects the number to rise to $1.1 billion in Q3 (July to September). In September, the company is due to unveil the new iPhone 17 family, which is rumored to include the very thin iPhone 17 Air, a replacement for the Plus model that has so far been the worst-selling of the series. The announcement is expected to come on September 8, 9, or 10. Source
