Samsung officially confirms Galaxy Fold7 Ultra arrival in first teaser
Samsung has been rumored to bring an Ultra variant to its Fold series for quite some time and we now have the first official teaser for the Fold7 Ultra. The device will launch later this year alongside the vanilla Z Fold7 and the clamshell Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE. Samsung's new foldables are rumored to launch at an in-person event in New York in early July.
The Z Fold7 Ultra teaser showcases a slim profile. How slim? We don't know yet, but it will certainly be thinner than the outgoing Z Fold6, which measures 5.6 mm in its unfolded state and the Z Fold Special Edition, which is 4.9mm. Equally exciting, Samsung promises the Ultra will have best-in-class camera, which is no small claim, considering the vivo X Fold3 Pro's excellent shooter.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra teaser
The Z Fold Ultra is not exactly unexpected. It was supposed to happen last year with the Z Fold6 generation until it didn't. Samsung then announced the Z Fold Special Edition in South Korea and China as the W25 in late October with larger 8-inch main and 6.5-inch cover screens, a 200MP main cam and 16GB RAM, all in a thinner (4.9mm when unfolded) and lighter package.

Motorola Razr 2025/Razr 60 in for review
Say hello to the Motorola Razr 2025, the "entry-level" folding phone from Moto for the North American market that is known as Motorola Razr 60 elsewhere. But there's nothing entry-level about the way this one looks and feels. Shipping in four unique PANTONE colors with different finishes, the Razr 2025 costs $700 and is available in a single 8/256GB configuration. The box includes a USB cable. You get a choice of the PANTONE Gibraltar Sea with a nylon finish on the back, PANTONE Spring Bud and Parfait Pink with a leather finish, and our Lightest Sky, which has an acetate finish. It's a unique-feeling finish and has a bright, pearl-esque color that matches it nicely. A sort of pearlescent finish on the back Paired with the soft, rounded edges, the Razr 2025 is very pleasant in the hand and stands out, even in this least impressive color we have. For some time now, Motorola has understood that a phone is more than specs and features. Moto phones are among the prettiest around, especially in their clamshell folding lineup. Given that Motorola truly made the form factor fashionable back in the day, it's no surprise the company is leading the same revolution these days, too. On a similar note, the Razr 2025 is IP48 rated for some dust protection and full water protection. Motorola Razr 2025 Looks aside, the Razr 2025 is more than well-specced for its price. It has a 3.6-inch 90Hz cover AMOLED screen, a 4nm Dimensity 7400X SoC, and a dual camera system with a 50MP 25mm f/1.7 wide angle camera, and a 13MP ultrawide. There's also a 32MP selfie on the inside. Speaking of, the folding display is a plentiful 6.9-inch 120Hz LTPO panel. The phone feels snappy and responsive. It ships with Android 15 under Motorola's very stock Android experience. Capping things off, there's a 4,500mAh battery with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. That's around 200mAh less than the Razr 60 Ultra, but that phone tips the scales at 199g, whereas this Razr is a more manageable 188g.

Dumb name aside, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could be this year's best foldable
I don't know if you've realized this, but Samsung's most exciting product of 2025 is likely only a little over a month away... and it's not the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or Z Flip 7. It's definitely not the Galaxy Ring 2 either, let alone the Galaxy Watch 8 or Watch 8 Classic. I know I might be in the minority here, but I'm far more intrigued by what the first-ever Fan Edition foldable could bring to the table in July than any of the largely repetitive, and frankly, boring devices mentioned above. And the main reason for that is extremely simple: If you've been following my little editorials here for the last year or so, you may have discerned one of my most important character traits - I'm very stingy when it comes to tech products. I hate paying more than I absolutely need to when I buy a new phone, which is why I'm currently rocking a perfectly acceptable (and ultra-affordable) Motorola Moto G-series mid-ranger as my daily driver. That being said, I've been interested in the foldable category ever since Samsung established it in 2019, so you can imagine my delight at the shrinking prices of the Motorola Razr portfolio of late. But just as I was pondering a purchase of the new Razr (2025) at a super-reasonable $699.99, the latest Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE rumor dropped, predicting a very similar and almost shockingly competitive price tag for Samsung 's long overdue budget-friendly clamshell. I still haven't completely given up the idea of buying the affordable Motorola Razr 2025. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena No, South Korea is not the US, but if the Z Flip 7 Fan Edition will indeed start at the rough equivalent of $735 in its manufacturer's domestic market, that could well translate to no more than 800 bucks stateside. With the Galaxy Z Flip 6 regularly priced at $1,100 and up, I'm honestly shocked (and mesmerized) by the prospect of a newer Samsung foldable available for $300 less. And yes, I fully realize that the Z Flip 7 FE looks suspiciously similar to the "outdated" Galaxy Z Flip 5 in all its leaked imagery so far. But that's perfectly fine by me (as long as the starting price will not exceed $800 after all), as it means the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Fan Edition could come with a main 6.7-inch display, a secondary 3.4-inch screen, 8GB RAM, and because it's 2025, pre-installed Android 15 (or even Android 16) with a bunch of timely OS updates guaranteed. I don't know about you, but that would easily qualify as the best foldable device for me. Yes, even with an Exynos 2400 processor under the hood. Look, I know product branding is not usually in the top five or top ten (maybe not even in the top 20) selling points of a new phone, but Samsung has to understand no (sane) Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE buyer will ever call the handset by its real, dumb name. It's just too darn complicated. And that's definitely a problem when you're already struggling in a crazy competitive and no-longer-fast-growing market like this. In order for Samsung to (hope to) reclaim its global foldable sales crown, the company needs distinctive products that can easily stand out from a crowd of very appealing Motorola Razrs, Pixel Folds, Huawei Pockets, Vivo X Flips, and Honor Magics. Yes, the Z Flip 7 FE looks a lot like the Z Flip 5. But that doesn't bother me that much. Because the design is obviously not very original (which, again, is not necessarily a flaw by itself), Samsung has to get everything else just right for the Z Flip 7 FE to become a box-office hit. That includes the pricing (which is clearly looking good for now), the specs (which are certainly not bad between the aforementioned screen sizes, memory count, decent 128GB storage, and possible 4,000mAh battery capacity), and unfortunately for Samsung, the name. Yes, brand identity can be important, especially for a pioneering device like the first Fan Edition foldable, so until it's etched in stone, I'm going to keep hoping that Samsung will ultimately come up with a better, cooler, or at least simpler name. Obviously, Galaxy Z Flip Xe is not it (and might actually be even dumber), but X Flip is right there. Even Galaxy Z Flip FE (without the 7) would be (slightly) better, although I'm sure that the brilliant marketing minds behind the Galaxy S25 Edge moniker can find something with a nicer ring and more personality than that. And now I will leave you wondering whether I'm being ironic about the S25 Edge name or not...
