Weekly poll results: Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are great but pricey, Z Flip7 FE is a miss
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 proved to be quite popular, though the people who are interested are split into two camps – those who can justify its price tag and those who can't. And the latter is a slightly bigger group.
Some are not happy with the hardware – the complaints mainly focused on the battery capacity and to an extent the charging speed – but that was a relatively small group.
Then there are those who think there are better foldables available – that topic is strongly region-dependent, though, as some markets have much less variety than others. This applies to the Flips as well.
The upgraded Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 was also quite popular. Among those interested, we see a similar nearly even split on the topic of price – however, this time opinions weighed in favor of 'the price is right'.
There was a big discussion in the comments over whether horizontal or flip foldables are better – but we'll leave that as a topic for a future poll.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE was supposed to be the answer to those looking for a cheaper flip. And while it is cheaper than the Z Flip7, price doesn't exist in a vacuum – a lot of people don't think that the FE hardware is worth it. And with that, the majority believe they can get better value for money with other flip foldables.
We are working on detailed reviews for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. In the meantime, you can check out our hands-on review with both models. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE 5G

A new Samsung Wallet feature could rival Apple Pay Later when buying a new phone
The installment service is made possible through Samsung's partnership with Splitit, a third-party provider. Importantly, users won't need to apply for a new line of credit or pass a credit check to use the feature. The funds are drawn from the existing balance of the card you already have in your Wallet. Once you make a purchase, you can choose from one of four plans: six payments every two weeks, eight payments every two weeks, six monthly payments, or nine monthly payments. If no option is selected within 24 hours, the payment is processed in full. The installment service is made possible through Samsung's partnership with Splitit, a third-party provider.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 beats the Dimensity 9500 in CPU clock speed
Yesterday we heard that MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 9500 SoC's CPU would go past the 4 GHz threshold for the first time in the company's history, and today we have news about its main competitor. The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, due to be unveiled in late September, is now rumored to hit 4.6 GHz for its regular model, and a whopping 4.74 GHz in the "for Galaxy" higher-bin iteration that Samsung will be using in at least some of the Galaxy S26 devices next year. The SoC's GPU is rumored to be clocked at up to 1.2 GHz, and its AnTuTu score, even in the tamer, generally available iteration (not the Samsung special), is rumored to be over 4 million. Qualcomm will keep using its custom Oryon cores in the second generation of the Elite, and the SoC will be made on TSMC's N3p 3nm process. The CPU will have two Prime cores and six Performance cores, and the GPU will be marketed as the Adreno 840. Source 1 (in Chinese) | Source 2 | Via
