Last chance to save $50 on the new Galaxy Z-foldables with a reservation on Samsung US

Last chance to save $50 on the new Galaxy Z-foldables with a reservation on Samsung US

GSM Arena08-07-2025
The big Galaxy Unpacked event is tomorrow - are you ready for Samsung's next generation foldables? If you are, you can take part in Samsung US's early reservation campaign. You better hurry, though, there are only 24 hours left.
The company does this for every major launch – if you sign up for a reminder, you will get $50 Samsung Credit to use when you buy a Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 or Z Flip7 FE (assuming the latter is available in the US, of course). You can rack up additional savings of up to $1,150 (which is usually a trade-in deal). Finally, there is a chance to win $5,000 in Samsung Credit.
Note that there is no obligation to buy anything – you will get an email when the Z-foldables go on pre-order, but you can just ignore it (you will lose the $50 Credit if you do). This sign-up is just that, an email reminder.
If that sounds good, sign up on Samsung.com or using the Shop Samsung app. You will need to enter your name and email.

Huge new Amazon sale drastically reduces the prices of a bunch of Apple Watch Ultra 2 models

If you're an iPhone user seeking the best smartwatch money can buy in 2025, there are basically only two big options to consider... before the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 presumably come out this fall. Even though it's almost two years old, the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 2 undoubtedly towers above the younger Apple Watch Series 10 in many ways, starting (but certainly not ending) with long-term durability. Of course, the superior build quality, battery life, GPS accuracy, and overall functionality also make this bad boy significantly costlier than its non-rugged "cousin", but right now, the bang for your buck is virtually impossible to beat. GPS, Bluetooth, Cellular Connectivity, Always-On Retina Display with Up to 3000 Nits of Brightness, Apple S9 Processor, 1000m Water Resistance, Double Tap Gesture, ECG, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Sleep Apnea Detection, High and Low Heart Rate Notifications, Irregular Rhythm Alerts, Temperature Sensing, Fall Detection, Crash Detection, Siren, Up to 36 Hours of Battery Life, 49mm Titanium Case, Multiple Band, Size, and Color Options Buy at Amazon That's because Amazon is selling about a dozen different Apple Watch Ultra 2 versions at a substantial $150 below their $799 list price, and unlike during the e-commerce giant's huge Prime Day sales event a few weeks back, you obviously don't need a special membership or anything else to score this pretty rare and hard-to-eclipse discount. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way at the time of this writing to save 150 bucks on a 2024-released black titanium model, but naturally, there's nothing wrong with opting for a 2023 "rugged titanium" case, especially in combination with a strap of your choice. The customizable Action Button is just one of this big guy's key strengths over the Apple Watch Series 10. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Right now, you can not just choose your favorite type of band or loop, but also the size and color from a fairly expansive lineup. Obviously, that may not be true for long, so you should probably hurry and pull the trigger if you see something that pleases your eye listed at $150 off that aforementioned regular price of eight Benjamins.

Samsung confident ahead of rumored Apple foldable iPhone launch

The foldable market has been growing rather slowly recently, but still, people are starting to get excited about foldable phones, given the early success of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Now, Samsung's main competitor when it comes to phones is Apple, and the company is yet to release a foldable. However, Apple is rumored to be finally joining the foldable game with a foldable iPhone next year. Bloomberg's Shery Ahn asked Samsung President and MX COO Choi Won-Joon how the company feels about the competition in the foldable market and about Apple joining it. When talking about the competition from Chinese companies releasing foldable phones with better cameras, Choi stated that instead of focusing on the competition, Samsung focuses on its buyers and the experiences it can offer them. Choi believes that healthy competition brings innovation and benefits to customers. Despite being quite open to the competition, Choi did highlight Samsung's role in the foldable segment. The executive underlined that Samsung is the company that started the segment back in 2019, referring to the original Galaxy Fold that was launched, now more than six years ago. On the question about Apple joining the market with a foldable iPhone next year, Choi also responded with confidence. He stated that Samsung has accumulated a lot of technology know-how and expertise by making foldables all this time. He again highlighted the benefits for the consumer and the industry by having more competition in the segment. Apparently, the South Korea-based tech giant is confident that it can take on Apple when it launches its rumored folding iPhone. Indeed, Samsung does have the experience now of seven generations of foldable phones . And it believes that this experience will help it keep an edge over Apple.

So either way, Samsung will make money nonetheless. At the moment, Samsung's main competitors in the foldable market are Chinese phone makers like Oppo, Honor, and Huawei. Most of these phones, however, are not available in all the markets, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are. As for Apple's foldable iPhone , rumors say to expect it towards the end of next year. It is said to be a book-style foldable like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , and Apple is rumored to have completely eliminated the crease on the display. I have not gotten onto the foldable train just yet. And not because I don't think it's cool – I think a foldable phone is the best of both worlds (portability and huge screens). But I'm looking for a company to get rid of the display crease until I go and buy people say you get used to the crease (the dent where the display folds, in the middle, basically) over time, but I'm rather peculiar about it, and I can't stand the feeling (and there's no getting used to it, I tried). So, if rumors are true and Apple does manage to get rid of the crease completely, this would mean that Samsung may also achieve it (after all, it will most likely be making those panels). And that is something that consumers will definitely benefit from, as I doubt I'm the only one who doesn't want a long dent on a smooth touch-screen phone. Apple's foldable iPhone is expected to rock a 7.8-inch internal display and a 5.5-inch external screen. Meanwhile, Samsung's latest iteration of the Fold series, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , rocks a massive 6.5-inch external display and an 8-inch foldable screen, so if these rumors are true, Samsung's phone is bigger than Apple's. Nevertheless, Apple may have some surprises for us, and I'm very excited to see where this goes. Switch to Total Wireless and buy 2 months of a 5G Unlimited plan to score the phone free!

Meta is making smartwatches for a different demographic of users

Meta is about to enter ( subscription required ) the smartwatch industry, expanding its successful wearables business. The company plans to target a different demographic of users with unique watches, as other tech companies have already garnered significant market share in this sector. Meta's smartwatches will likely be equipped with cameras, as the company wants to increase user interaction with the metaverse. Furthermore, these watches will be able to complement the upcoming smart AR glasses by Meta, the first model of which may come out as soon as this year's end. This wouldn't be the first time that a smartwatch would feature a camera. Perhaps the most popular example I can provide of a similar product is the first ever Samsung Galaxy Gear watch. If Meta's approach catches on, then Samsung — and rivals like Apple — may also consider revisiting smartwatches with first Galaxy Gear's camera wasn't great, but technology has come a long way since 2013. It's why Meta is even considering this whole idea in the first place. The company's Ray-Ban smart glasses, powered by Meta AI, became such an unprecedented success that Meta immediately restructured its VR division to focus more on wearables. Meta's newest addition are the Oakley smart glasses. | Image credit — Oakley AR glasses are the future of smartphones, or so Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes. As such, the company has invested billions into being the first to market with a consumer product. The end goal is to make an affordable version of the Meta Orion glasses. Apple, Google, and Samsung have taken notice. CEO Tim Cook is obsessed with beating Meta to the punch, while Google and Samsung have teamed up to release Project Moohan. Much like Meta's plans for smartwatches equipped with cameras, Project Moohan is just an experiment to test the waters and gauge what I can tell, Meta wants to replace the smartphone with its AR glasses, but is also considering keeping smartwatches around, possibly as a second source of revenue. Except, this time they'll be connected to the glasses instead of a phone. I'm doubtful of the amount of friction this would reduce: it's not like you're constantly pulling glasses out of your pocket. But I'm excited to see where this leads nevertheless. Switch to Total Wireless and buy 2 months of a 5G Unlimited plan to score the phone free!
