Samsung accidentally leaks Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 – through its own app
After all the leaks and rumors about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Flip 7 phones, you'd think there are no surprising new ways to reveal anything else about them. Well, wait until you hear that actually this time, Samsung itself leaked them – their names, more specifically – in the funniest of ways. The two names of the foldables, which were long rumored and frankly expected, were confirmed by the South Korean tech giant in a beta One UI 8 build. The two official names are included in a beta version of the Samsung Internet Browser app. The beta version of the browser is on the Galaxy Store, and the leak was first spotted by the folks in GalaxyClub. As you can see, the listing clearly says 'Samsung Internet Browser for Fold7 and Flip7'.
Curiously enough, it seems this app listing can't be found on a Galaxy phone unless you're running One UI 8, which is in beta right now and only available on Galaxy S25 phones. Apparently, Samsung didn't expect curious folk to wander through the Galaxy Store. Also, this is further evidence that this rumored "Galaxy Z Fold Ultra" beast was not a living being. It seems now more than ever that the "Ultra" in Samsung's teaser that set the internet on fire was just hype and marketing.
So, for the summer Unpacked, we have the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , Z Flip 7 , and potentially a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE or Flip FE. It's possible that Samsung will announce its first tri-folding phone later this year, and it may get a limited release only in China and South Korea.
Currently, rumors claim an 'early July' timeframe for the summer Unpacked, although this has not been confirmed just yet by Samsung. Reportedly, an event for the foldables may be held in New York, but yet again, this is not official information just yet.
Maybe the Unpacked date will show up somewhere in a Samsung Notes beta version in One UI 8... Just kidding, Samsung would not make the same mistake twice, would it?

vivo X Fold5 will have unprecedented dust and water resistance for a foldable
vivo has started the teaser campaign for its upcoming X Fold5, which according to a recent rumor is due to be unveiled on July 10. The phone will boast unprecedented dust and water resistance ratings for a foldable. We're talking about IP5X dust resistance, which beats Samsung's IP4X, as well as a trio of water resistance ratings: IPX8, IPX9, and IPX9+. IP5X means the phone will not entirely prevent ingress of dust, but "it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the safe operation", according to the IP code definitions. vivo X Fold5 teaser image Regarding IPX9+, vivo says you'll be able to fold and unfold the X Fold5 in water 1m deep 1,000 times, which is certainly impressive, even though we're not sure what the use case for that would be in the real world. Finally, no other foldable so far has received an IPX9 certification, which is all about protection from water jets (IPX8 is about immersion into water). The X Fold5 is also teased to be the lightest book-style foldable ever, and will be offered in green as you can see from the glimpse in the shot above. Source (in Chinese)

The most powerful Android tablet is also a technological wonder
The upcoming RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro blurs the line between tablets and smartphones when it comes to size. In fact, this is the industry's first small tablet with the fastest charging speed. It's also the industry's first OLED gaming tablet, at least according to RedMagic. But what makes the Tablet 3 Pro stand out is its raw power.

Once again, RedMagic claims that this is the industry's first small tablet with the fastest charging speed. How fast you ask?

It also supports bypass charging, which means that while charging, the tablet draws power directly from the charger instead of the battery. That not only reduces the need for battery cycling but also extends the battery lifespan in many cases.

Nothing releases another Phone (3) teaser image
Late last month, Nothing unveiled the first teaser image depicting a small part of its upcoming Phone (3), and today the company is back with another one. It's still not a full view of any part of the device, it just seems to be a more zoomed-out version of the initial image. It is however looking like Nothing might give up on its transparent-like look for the back of the phone. The company has already confirmed that the Phone (3) won't have the Glyph LED lights on the back, with rumors swirling about the fact that it would be replaced with a customizable dot-matrix display. Phone (3). Ultra-precise engineering. — Nothing (@nothing) June 6, 2025 Clearly, Nothing enjoys teasing us like this, and we fully expect another, even more zoomed-out image to follow in a few days. And so on. The Phone (3) will be made official at an event in London on July 1, alongside the company's first-ever pair of over-ear headphones. Nothing is billing the Phone (3) as its first proper flagship smartphone, but based on the pricing that Nothing CEO Carl Pei revealed, it will probably end up being more of a 'flagship killer' type of device. Still, definitely the highest-end the brand has ever produced, that's for sure.
