The Google Pixel Watch 4 will reportedly use the same old chipset, but will have a bigger battery
The latest report is that Google will reuse the same chipset as on the Watch 3 and the Watch 2, the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1. This 2022 chip is fabbed on a 4nm node and has four Cortex-A53 cores.
We recently heard that Qualcomm is working on a Snapdragon W6, with one big Cortex- A78 core and four A55 cores, but it seems that Google has no interest in that. Instead, the company may just be biding its time until its custom Tensor chip is ready in time for the Pixel Watch 5. That's what we heard back in late 2024 and the leak indicated that the Tensor chip will have the same 1x A78 + 4x A55 setup as the W6 – that's also the same configuration as the Exynos W1000 that Samsung reused for the Galaxy Watch8 series.
Back to the Google Pixel Watch 4. We've seen renders, which pointed to a thicker body – 14.3mm, up from 12.3mm. The latest info indicates that both sizes – the 45mm model code named 'kenari'/FK23 and the 41mm model code named 'meridian'/FME23 – will have larger batteries, which may explain the chunkier build.
The Pixel Watch 4 41mm will have a 327mAh battery (+20mAh from the Watch 3 41mm), while the 45mm model will have a 459mAh battery (+39mAh). Those represent +7% and +9% increases, respectively. That's not much considering the W5 Gen 1 chip is not the most efficient around. Charging speeds will be increased too, but no concrete numbers have leaked yet.
Besides offering a choice between 41mm and 45mm size, the Pixel Watch 4 will come in Bluetooth and 4G flavors. And it will be available in several colors with different bands ranging from two-tone leather through Active Sport band and to metal mesh bands. We expect that the new Pixel Watch 4 will be unveiled alongside the Pixel 10 series.

A new name appears for Samsung's long-rumored tri-foldable
Samsung has been expected to showcase its first tri-folding phone at the recent Unpacked, but that didn't happen. Another report indicated that the South Korean company was thinking of releasing its tri-folding phone by the end of the year, but was unsure about the demand for such a device. Now, it seems that Samsung has decided on the phone's name, or at least, it's filed for trademark protection for a something that could be the name for the foldable. Drumroll, please... It's "Galaxy Z TriFold". The folks at GalaxyClub have discovered that Samsung has applied for trademark protection for this name in South Korea. The publication believes that this name is either for the tri-folding phone or for the lineup it will be a part of, which is obviously the Galaxy Z. Image Credit – GalaxyClub Honestly, nobody (potentially) believes that Galaxy Z TriFold is a catchy name. It's possible that the name could be for the tri-folding smartphone series, but each individual model may get its own name, hopefully, catchier. And that wouldn't be uncommon. Usually, Samsung (as well as other brands) secures all the potential names for their upcoming lineup. Even if the company won't use all of the names, it would want to make sure nobody can use a name similar to one of their devices. So, nothing is etched in stone at this point, despite this trademark application. What seems more certain, though, is that Samsung hasn't abandoned the idea of a tri-folding phone, and is working on bringing it to the foldable phone market. Meanwhile, earlier rumors indicated another potential name for the device: 'Galaxy G Fold'. Honestly, this one doesn't sound any better than a 'Galaxy Z TriFold', so hopefully, Samsung will level up the creativity in coming up with a catchy name for this fancy device. The tri-folding phone was first somewhat teased (rather, it was hinted at its existence) during the January 2025 Unpacked event. Then, the teaser for the last Galaxy Unpacked also hinted at the tri-folding phone, but it didn't make an appearance alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. So, let's hope we get to see it soon. An earlier report indicated that Samsung's tri-folding phone may sport a 10-inch display and fold twice inward, which is different from Huawei's take with one fold inward, one fold on the outside. Rumor has it the device may cost around $3,000 (potentially), which is one hell of a price, alright. When it launches, it could have a limited release. Meanwhile, this peculiar device won't have as much competition, at least at the start. We have the Huawei tri-folding phone already – the Mate XT – but so far, this is the only commercially available tri-folding phone. A few other companies (Tecno and others) have shown concepts, but have yet to give us a product. In the meantime, Apple has not even joined the foldable game just yet, at all. As much as I personally think a tri-folding phone is fancy, I'm not sure exactly how much I'd need one. I have doubts about durability and also, its potential price may be more than I would personally pay for a phone. However, I'm definitely curious to see what Samsung comes up with. If they can strike the right balance between innovation, practicality, and price – and make it durable enough for daily use, the Galaxy Z TriFold (or whatever Samsung ends up calling it) could be a game-changer. Even if it's not for everyone right away, it might just push the entire foldable market forward. And it's innovative, something that the smartphone market definitely needs right now, in my humble opinion. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Prime Day's over, but the Razr+ (2024) just got a massive 34% discount
Missed your chance to score a massive $400 off the Motorola Razr+ (2024) in the final hours of last week's Prime Day? Don't worry, Amazon is now giving you another chance to save big on this high-end flip phone. Right now, the Midnight Blue model is 34% off, saving you an impressive $335. $335 off (34%) Amazon is now giving you an exclusive $335 price cut on the Motorola Razr+ (2024) in Midnight Blue. That makes the stylish flip phone a much more affordable choice. You might want to hurry up and save while this sale lasts. Buy at Amazon There's no denying that Prime Day's offer was more attractive. However, that was a Prime member-exclusive sale, while the current one is open to everyone. On top of that, you won't find a more significant price cut on last year's flagship Razr. We checked and found a more modest $250 price cut at the official store. Over at Best Buy, you'd have to cough up the model's full retail price of nearly $1, the Razr+ (2025) has arrived, it doesn't offer significant improvements to make it a more compelling pick over last year's model, especially at its current price. But what does the 2024 Razr+ offer? First of all, it features a large 4-inch cover screen with vivid colors and excellent brightness levels. The main 6.9-inch OLED display is just as impressive, boasting an ultra-snappy 165Hz refresh rate and crisp resolution. Beyond the two lovely displays, the Razr+ (2024) impresses with its design. Featuring vegan leather back and modern colors, this Android phone is designed to captivate. On top of that, Motorola has significantly improved the hinge, making the phone feel sturdier than its predecessor. Add to that a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 performance and a capable 50MP main camera, and you've got a very well-rounded and stylish phone. Sure, it's not as impressive as the Galaxy Z Flip 6, but it's hard to ignore at its current asking price. So, if you like what the Motorola Razr+ (2024) brings to the table, now's your chance to save 34% on it. And if you're on the fence, don't forget to check out our Motorola Razr+ (2024) review for more insights into camera capabilities, daily performance, and more.

Samsung's underrated Galaxy Buds 3 break into the spotlight with huge 47 percent discount
While bargain-hunting Samsung fans who've been in the market for a new pair of wireless earbuds these last few months may have reached the conclusion that they need to choose between the super-premium Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and entry-level Galaxy Buds FE, there's at least another product to consider. The non-Pro Galaxy Buds 3 are obviously slightly humbler compared to their "sister" model in terms of both active noise cancellation and overall audio performance. But that's why they're also significantly cheaper, normally costing $179.99 instead of $249.99. And now they're even more affordable, at $94.99. $85 off (47%) True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Sound Optimization, Real-Time Interpreter, Adaptive Equalizer, Galaxy AI, Touch Control, Bluetooth 5.4, IP57 Water and Dust Resistance, Up to 5 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 24 Hours of Battery Life with Case, Silver Color, Brand-New Condition, Two-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included Buy at Woot True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Sound Optimization, Real-Time Interpreter, Adaptive Equalizer, Galaxy AI, Touch Control, Bluetooth 5.4, IP57 Water and Dust Resistance, Up to 5 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 24 Hours of Battery Life with Case, White Color, US Version, Two-Year Warranty Included Buy at Amazon That's almost half of the list price knocked down with no special requirements or notable compromises, mind you, as the cheaper-than-ever Galaxy Buds 3 units available at Woot for a limited time in a single silver colorway are not only brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged, but also covered by a two-year manufacturer warranty. Although the Amazon-owned e-tailer doesn't spell that out for us, the extended warranty strongly suggests that we're looking at an official US version of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3, which makes this a more appealing offer than a Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Woot deal we recently told you about. That one incredibly brought Samsung's best buds from $249.99 all the way down to $109.99... in an "international" version with a modest 90-day warranty included. Amazon, in case you're wondering, can only slash up to 40 bucks off the aforementioned $179.99 list price of the "regular" Galaxy Buds 3, which further highlights the exceptional opportunity to save no less than $85 at Woot for the next five days (or while supplies last). Designed to look a bit too similar to Apple's AirPods 4 for my taste, the non-Pro Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 do shine with proprietary features and capabilities like Live Translate and Galaxy AI-powered Adaptive Equalizer while certainly not disappointing in the sound, battery life, or water resistance departments. Are these the absolute best wireless earbuds money can buy in 2025? Definitely not. Are they good enough for 95 bucks? Definitely yes. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
