Supposedly, Samsung doesn't want to continue to rely on Qualcomm as much as it has. And there is the cost savings that Samsung will be able to take advantage of by using its own in-house chipset built by its own foundry.
According to a tweet from Abhishek Yadav, the Exynos 2500 AP produced a GPU OpenCL score of 18,601 . That puts it in line with the OpenCL scores generated by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the MediaTek 9400+. That sounds like good news for those interested in Samsung's upcoming clamshell foldable. On the other hand, the CPU scores were not as good, with single-core and multi-core scores of 2,313 and 7,965, respectively.

Those scores only bring the Exynos 2500 in line with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 , which is one generation behind the Exynos 2500 AP. By the way, another tweet from Abhishek Yadav shows that the lower-pricedFE (SM-F761B) will have the Exynos 2400 under the hood . That AP had a less impressive OpenCL score of 12,890.

HMD, licensee of the Nokia phone brand, is hanging up on the U.S. phone market
On Threads, Wired's Julian Chokkattu shared a statement from HMD that was released a few days ago. The company is known for licensing the Nokia name since 2016 for use on Android smartphones, feature phones, tablets, and accessories. In the statement, HMD says that it is "scaling back" its U.S. operations. Noting that it has a priority to ensure a seamless transition for its customers and business partners, HMD says it will honor warranties, continue to provide service for existing products, and provide full support globally. The company says that the "challenging geopolitical and economic environment" has led it to cut back on its U.S. operations. We assume that these "geopolitical and economic" issues are related to the tariffs that the U.S. is imposing on products being imported into the United States. While the company is using the phrase "scaling back," it seems more likely that this statement marks the end of HMD's business selling phones and other related consumer electronics in the U.S. HMD also mentioned that it deeply values the contributions of its U.S. colleagues who are affected by the company's action and says that it will continue to help support them during the transition. Some of the Nokia phones built by HMD brought back older, popular Nokia feature phones that were big hits before the iPhone took smartphone popularity to a new level. Those included the Nokia 3310 (originally released in 1997 and re-released by HMD in 2017) and the Nokia 8110 (launched in 1996 and re-released in 2018 as the Nokia 8110 4G). The latter was the "Banana phone" used in "The Matrix." The Nokia 3310 re-issue brought back the iconic "Snake game made famous with the original release. The five 12MP cameras on the back of the 2019 Nokia 9 made by HMD. | Image credit-PhoneArena In 2019, HMD brought back the PureView name originally used on the Nokia 808 PureView in 2012. The Nokia 9 PureView had so many issues, we gave it a 4 out of 10. The processor in this 2019 flagship was from 2018; there were issues with the camera software, and the battery quickly ran out of power during a typical day. In January 2024, HMD decided to stop using the Nokia name and sold its new phones under the HMD moniker, which stands for Human Mobile Devices. The Wired's Julian Chokkattu shares HMD's goodbye message to the U.S. on Threads. | Image credit-Threads HMD's licensing agreement with Nokia ends in 2026. Unless another company wants to give the name another shot in the highly competitive smartphone market, it appears that Nokia will soon join BlackBerry as two early leaders in the smartphone industry that couldn't keep up with the changes to the device that were first made by by Apple in 2007.

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic in for review
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic is the new middle ground in the Galaxy smartwatch series. It sits above the baseline Watch8 and borrows some features from the Galaxy Watch Ultra while still keeping its signature rotating bezel. There's nothing surprising inside the box, Samsung is giving you a magnetic wireless charging pad attached to a USB-C cable. Our review unit comes in Black, which has some contrasting stainless-steel elements, giving off a sharp and elegant look. It comes with the faux leather watch band, which is sadly proprietary, so you can't just swap out any old 20mm band like on the previous generations. Back to bezel. We definitely have a soft spot for physical control buttons and they just don't get better than a tactile knob like this. But there's more, Galaxy Watch8 Classic also borrows the Galaxy Watch Ultra's Quick button. It's remappable so you can assign it to all sorts of different features or shortcuts. Weirdly enough, the 46mm Watch8 Classic features a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen – the same size as the much smaller 40mm Galaxy Watch8. It's still protected by Sapphire Glass and maxes out at 3,000 nits which should be more than enough, even for bright outdoor use. Watch8 Classic gets the Exynos W1000 chip just like the vanilla and Ultra models, alongside 2GB RAM and 64GB storage. Samsung claims the 445mAh battery inside the Watch8 Classic should offer up to 40 hours with the Always-on Display (AoD) off and 30 hours with AoD on. We'll make sure to test these claims alongside the health and activity features in our detailed review. For now, you can check out our Galaxy Watch8 series hands-on for more coverage of Samsung's new smartwatches. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic

Come on, Samsung! Don't give up on the tri-fold just yet
*Header image is referential and showcases the Huawei Mate XT. | Image credit — PhoneArena Galaxy Unpacked 2025 finally took place, and we got a look at the stunning Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7, as well as the new FE model. However, contrary to multiple recent rumors, the company's tri-fold smartphone — dubbed the Galaxy G Fold — was missing from the first, I thought that this was just because it may not be ready to be shown off, but there might actually be another reason as well. A prototype display shown off in 2021. | Image credit — Samsung After a recent interview, it turns out that Samsung is unsure about the tri-fold. According to the interview, Samsung doesn't think that there's much demand for a tri-fold Galaxy foldable. Previous reports have claimed that this phone will initially see a very limited release in a select few countries, now we don't know if it will even make it out of those regions. Naturally, such a device couldn't have been expected to sell too well. It's a novelty phone, first and foremost, and it's unlikely to be all that practical either. But, I think we can all agree that the biggest reason it won't sell too many units is the price tag. A tri-foldable Samsung phone is not going to come cheap, much like its rival: the Huawei Mate XT. And yet, I think that there's a case to be made for the Galaxy G Fold. The Huawei Mate XT is the world's first commercially available tri-foldable phone. | Video credit — Huawei Until recently, I thought that foldable smartphones were a gimmick with no practical value whatsoever. My biggest issue with them was the crease, and in my anticipation for a foldable iPhone that eliminated that problem, I neglected the entire segment. Then the Galaxy Z Fold 7 came has leaped multiple generations and made a foldable smartphone that is a worthy rival to the Chinese foldables that I had been ignoring until now. It's stunningly slim, it's powerful, and most importantly of all, its crease is almost non-existent now. From writing them off as a fad, to actively wanting to daily drive one, Samsung singlehandedly made me look at foldables under a new light. If the company can do this, and if Huawei can sell the Mate XT, then the Galaxy G Fold has a decent enough market, in my opinion. And, even if it didn't, I'd say it's worth the investment. If Samsung is going to give us phones like the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is just innovation for innovation's sake, then it should go ahead with the G Fold too. The G Fold will likely not sell well until it's able to ship with a much lower price tag, but I think it's worth getting to that point. No one's buying a Huawei phone in the States after the Google ban, as painful as it is to admit, and the G Fold is the only chance that they'll have at a tri-fold worth getting. Lastly, Apple is currently working on multiple new iPhone models. There is the iPhone 17 Air, slated for release this year. We've also gotten multiple reports that the foldable iPhone may come out next year. Additionally, there will be a new 20th anniversary iPhone Pro model that will feature no cutouts or notches on its Galaxy G Fold will keep Samsung ahead of its largest rival by providing consumers with a device that they cannot get from Apple. Apple is late to the foldable market, and Samsung has the chance to leave it behind in another segment immediately. The Galaxy S25 Edge isn't selling well, but despite that, there are reports that there will be a Galaxy S26 Edge and no S26 Plus. In my opinion, there isn't a market for the Edge models either, not until they can use silicon batteries to provide better runtime. Samsung, if you're still insisting on the Edge despite that, then the G Fold also deserves a chance. Release it globally, then make a successor like Huawei is currently doing, and I think you'll find that there are enough people willing to get one to make it a profitable venture.
