Samsung Galaxy Foldables Leak Ahead of Unpacked Event: Key Specifications and Variants Revealed
The biggest of the trio, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is expected to be significantly thinner than its predecessors. Quandt cites official marketing language that claims the device will measure just 4.2mm when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. That would place it among the slimmest foldables on the market—just 0.1mm thicker than Honor's Magic V5, and on par with Oppo's Find N5. Even more impressive is the weight: at 216 grams, the Fold 7 may be the lightest book-style foldable yet.
Despite the slimmer body, Samsung isn't compromising on performance. The Fold 7 will sport larger displays—6.5 inches externally and 8 inches internally—alongside a 4,400mAh battery, matching its predecessor. It's expected to run on Qualcomm's high-end Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and will offer 256GB and 512GB storage options, though a 1TB model might be available in select regions. The only camera spec currently confirmed is a massive 200MP main sensor. Colour variants are likely to include blue, black, and silver.
Next in line is the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is also seeing significant upgrades. Most notably, it will feature a larger 4.1-inch external display that wraps around the dual camera lenses—mirroring the design of Motorola's Razr line. This detail aligns with renders and a leaked hands-on video that emerged recently.
Under the hood, the Flip 7 will house a 4,300mAh battery—just shy of the Fold 7's—while maintaining a sleek profile. It will offer the same 256GB and 512GB storage options and colour choices, with a 50MP primary camera completing the hardware suite.
Samsung is also set to debut a more affordable version: the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Designed to bring foldable technology to a wider audience, this model will reportedly come with 128GB and 256GB storage options, as well as a slightly smaller 4,000mAh battery. It's expected to maintain the same screen sizes as the standard Flip 7, indicating it might also include the wrap-around cover display—though earlier reports had suggested a reused Flip 6 design. For now, it appears the FE variant will launch in black and white.
In addition to these foldable smartphones, Quandt also revealed what appear to be official images of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic. These wearables seem to adopt a new "squircle" body shape, first seen in the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
However, there's no word yet on the long-rumoured Samsung trifold phone. While it may be teased at the Unpacked event, a full reveal seems unlikely this week.

Amazon Prime Day 2025 best smartphone deals: Galaxy S24 Ultra, OnePlus 13, iPhone 16e and more
Amazon has commenced its yearly Prime Day sale, bringing huge discounts on numerous consumer electronics like smartphones, tablets, laptops and audio accessories. The sale went live on July 12 and will end at 11:59 PM on July 14. As is the case every year, the consumers can grab numerous budget, mid-range and flagship smartphones at a heavily discounted price. If you are looking to purchase a new smartphone during the Amazon Prime Day sale 2025, here are some of the best deals on smartphones available right now. Launched last year, the Galaxy S24 Ultra (review) is Samsung's first flagship phone to get seven years of OS updates and security patches. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the flagship device sports a huge 120Hz 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with DX anti-reflective coating that is protected by Corning's Gorilla Armor. As one would expect from a Samsung flagship, you get IP68 dust and water resistance, a titanium frame and a built-in S-Pen with Bluetooth functionality. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a boxy design and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. The back of the phone houses a quad camera setup that consists of a 200MP primary shooter, a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 10MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. The device runs on One UI 6 based on Android 14 out of the box, with Samsung promising OS updates till Android 21. If you are looking to buy a flagship phone that does not compromise on cameras, battery and don't mind the slightly outdated flagship chipset, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is an easy recommendation for Rs 74,999. OnePlus' newest flagship device – the OnePlus 13 (review), is also available at a discounted price. Featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the newest from the company comes with a 120Hz 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED screen that sports Ceramic Guard protection. Like most 2025 flagships, you get both IP68 and IP69 protection alongside a huge 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging support. The back of the phone has a huge circular camera island that houses a Hasselblad-tuned 50MP primary camera in addition to a 50MP ultrawide sensor and a 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The phone runs on OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 and will get 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches. The OnePlus 13 isn't the best camera phone, but if you are looking for a snappy device with intuitive software, flagship-grade performance and a huge battery, this is a good buy. You can buy it during the sale for as low as Rs 64,999, but credit card users might be able to get it for less with bank offers. Apple's latest and most affordable smartphone – the iPhone 16e (review), is also getting a huge price cut. Launched earlier this year, the phone comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with 800 nits of brightness and Ceramic Shield glass protection. Running on iOS 18.3.1 out of the box, the iPhone 16e is powered by the in-house developed Apple A18 chipset and comes with up to 512GB of internal storage. It also happens to be the first smartphone to feature Apple's indigenously developed 5G modem. Like the iPhone SE series, the iPhone 16e packs a single camera with a resolution of 48MP. This isn't the best iPhone, but it is indeed the cheapest phone in the iPhone 16 series. If you want to buy an iPhone without spending much, the iPhone 16e can be a good buy for Rs 49,999. Want a gaming phone under Rs 50,000 with a flagship chipset? The Realme GT 7 Pro might be a good purchase. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the phone has a 120Hz 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen and is both IP68 and IP69 rated. The phone comes with Realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15 and will get 3 years of OS updates. On the back, you get a triple camera setup with a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. All of this is backed by a 5,800mAh battery that supports 120W wired charging. If you want a gaming phone with a huge battery and the best chipset in the market, the Realme GT 7 Pro is a steal deal for Rs 44,999. Note: It is currently the only phone with Snapdragon 8 Elite priced under Rs 50,000. Looking for a mid-range Samsung device that will last you for years? Check out the recently launched Galaxy M36. The latest from Samsung packs in a 6.7-inch sAMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and comes with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. Running on One UI 7 based on Android 15, Samsung is promising up to 6 major OS updates, which makes it the only phone under Rs 20,000 with more than half a decade of software support. On the back, you get a minimal-looking elliptical camera island that consists of a 50MP primary lens, an 8MP ultrawide shooter and a 2MP macro sensor. The device is powered by Exynos 1580 and is backed by up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. However, unlike most mid-range devices launched this year, the Galaxy M36 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, which might be a bummer for some. Another downside is that the phone still has a 5,000mAh lithium-ion battery with 25W wired charging support. The base variant of the Galaxy M36 that comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage is currently selling for Rs 17,499, but if you can spend a bit more, we recommend going with the 8GB RAM version that costs Rs 18,999. Note: The price of these smartphones may change anytime during the sale, so make sure you check them before purchasing.

Google Pixel 10 prototype surfaces on Chinese site ahead of official launch
Google's Pixel 10 series is expected to launch soon, and new information has appeared from an unexpected source. A Chinese auction site called Xianyu listed what is said to be a Pixel 10 prototype motherboard. The listing, spotted by 9to5Google, claims the part is from an EVT (Engineering Validation Testing) unit, a late stage before mass production. The seller describes the item as a Pixel 10 motherboard from an Engineering Validation Testing (EVT) unit. EVT is a stage in the product development process just before mass production. The listing also includes photos of the phone, which shows a design similar to previous Pixel models, with rounded corners, flat edges, and the familiar horizontal camera bump on the back. The device bears the Google "G" logo. The images reveal that the device has three camera lenses. This suggests that the Google Pixel 10 could include a telephoto lens, an upgrade from the Pixel 9's dual-camera setup, which aligns with earlier rumours about camera improvements in the new model. The motherboard carries a Tensor G5 label and an SEC marking, which some experts say indicates Samsung manufactured the chip. This detail raises questions because several reports suggest Google plans to switch production of its Tensor chips from Samsung to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), starting with the G5 chip. It is unclear how recent this prototype is or if Google initially considered continuing with Samsung before deciding to move to TSMC. The seller's listing focuses heavily on warning against scammers and does not clarify these points. The authenticity of this prototype and the associated chip details will be confirmed when Google officially unveils the Pixel 10 series on August 13. Until then, the images and information from the auction remain unofficial but provide an early glimpse into what the next Pixel may offer.
