Hands-on videos confirm the truth about Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 leaks

TL;DR Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 have appeared in fresh leaks just days ahead of their launch.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7's leak is more detailed and shows the inner foldable screen with no visible crease.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the hands-on video doesn't power on and might as well be a dummy unit.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 are set to be unveiled later this week. As the launch draws closer, we've seen a slew of leaks that have given us sweeping looks at both the foldables. Following last week's leak of Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on images, more hands-on images of both devices have been spotted circulating online.
Over the weekend, an X user @andrei_eclynoh shared a hands-on image of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. They also shared — but later removed — a hands-on video, which another user later reuploaded. Both the picture and the video demonstrate a working model, so it probably captures a review or a retail unit.
The most compelling aspect to notice in the media is the new inner display, devoid of any visible crease. The foldable display appears seamless at multiple angles, inspiring us to assume Samsung may have finally caught up to its competitors in eliminating the crease entirely. The image also emphasizes the outer display, which now appears much larger than on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and leaves smaller bezels on the cover. The display now also envelops the dual cameras, similar to the Motorola Razr 2025 family, ditching the previous folder-notch shape.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 unit shown in the video also features the same boxy design that Samsung introduced with the Flip 5. Earlier rumors pointed towards Flip 7 being slimmer than the previous generation, though the change is not expected to be as drastic as expected of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Interestingly, the video shows the Flip 7 can also run up to four cover screen widgets on the same page.
The second leak showcases the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which appears in a video by accessories maker WSKEN, which has already listed a compatible screen protector on Amazon (via 9to5Google). It's not easy to differentiate between the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the upcoming Fold 7 based solely on the device's slimness, so one can easily assume the video shows a Fold 6. However, the unit's narrower fingerprint scanner aligns with the Fold 7's leaks and can be trusted to be a tell-tale differentiator.

However, unlike the Flip 7's hands-on video, this one shows the phone switched off, which suggests it may not be a working model but rather a dummy unit.
We're just days away from the official launch, at which point we can expect to confirm the validity of these leaks. Last week, we exclusively reported that Samsung is also working on a tri-fold device, and we expect it to be showcased at the event in a fashion similar to how the Galaxy S25 Edge was teased at the S25 series launch earlier this year.

Tesla Is Losing the EV War to Chinese Carmakers

While Tesla's struggles dominate the headlines, a quieter but more significant story is unfolding: Chinese electric vehicle makers are on a tear. For the second consecutive quarter, Elon Musk's Tesla has seen its sales decline, a stark contrast to the booming growth reported by rivals like BYD and NIO Inc, who are steadily gaining market share and widening their lead. The second-quarter sales numbers paint a bleak picture for the American EV pioneer. Tesla delivered 384,122 vehicles worldwide, a drop of 13.5% compared to the same period in 2024. For a company whose identity is built on explosive growth, back-to-back quarters of declining sales are a major red flag for investors. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers are hitting the accelerator. BYD, the world's top seller of clean energy vehicles, announced it sold a staggering 206,884 fully electric vehicles in June alone, a 42.5% increase from June 2024. In the first half of this year, BYD has sold 1.02 million battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which are fully electric cars, not hybrids. Tesla, by comparison, has delivered just 772,859 vehicles in the same period. The gap between the two is becoming a chasm. This reversal of fortune is particularly striking because Tesla has a major presence in China, with its Shanghai Gigafactory being one of its four global production sites. BYD, however, does not currently sell its passenger cars in the United States, meaning it is dominating the global market without access to one of the world's largest consumer bases. So how is BYD doing it? The company's success hinges on two key factors: variety and affordability. While Tesla's lineup has been criticized as aging, BYD offers a diverse portfolio of more than 20 models. Its entry-level car, the Seagull, starts at a stunningly low price of around $9,700 in China. Furthermore, BYD has invested heavily in advanced technology, equipping its cars with sophisticated software and features like its 'God's Eye' smart driving system, an advanced driver assistance suite that rivals competitors. The shifting tides are most visible in Europe. In a symbolic victory, market research firm JATO Dynamics reported that in April, BYD sold more BEVs in Europe than Tesla for the first time ever. While the margin was slim, it marked a turning point in a market Tesla has long dominated. Even smaller Chinese competitors are surging. NIO Inc, which has a much smaller market capitalization than Tesla, saw its own deliveries jump by 25.6% in the second quarter. This market pressure comes at a time when Tesla is also grappling with the fallout from its CEO's political activities. Elon Musk's recent launch of a new political party after a public and bitter falling out with President Donald Trump has left many investors deeply concerned. 'Musk diving deeper into politics and now trying to take on the Beltway establishment is exactly the opposite direction that most Tesla investors want him to take during this crucial period for Tesla,' Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, a longtime Tesla bull, wrote on July 6. 'We get why Musk is doing this…just causing exhaustion among many investors.'

HD Hyundai signs MoU with CSL to boost shipbuilding capabilities

HD Hyundai's Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with India's state-owned shipbuilder, Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), to foster long-term collaboration in the shipbuilding industry. The MoU will focus on providing design and procurement support for CSL, technical collaboration to boost productivity and meet global quality standards, and workforce training. This agreement also includes exploring new shipbuilding orders both domestically and internationally. India's shipbuilding industry is experiencing rapid expansion, with the market projected to grow at an average annual rate of 60% until 2033. The partnership is in line with India's maritime development strategies: the Maritime India Vision 2030 and the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, both of which aim to elevate India's maritime industry. In support of these initiatives, India has set up a Maritime Development Fund of Rs250bn ($2.9bn) and is enhancing policy support for the shipbuilding sector. An HD Hyundai official stated: 'This collaboration will serve as a springboard for both HD Hyundai and CSL to reach new heights, while also marking a turning point in accelerating India's national maritime vision. 'By leveraging HD Hyundai's accumulated technological expertise and experience, we will support CSL in enhancing its global competitiveness, while also seeking opportunities for shared growth with Korean equipment suppliers.' HD Hyundai is also broadening its international partnerships, having signed MoUs with Huntington Ingalls Industries in the US and Edison Chouest Offshore, as well as engaging in defence cooperation with Peru's SIMA shipyard. These efforts aim to create synergies and foster growth in the global shipbuilding industry. HD Hyundai affiliates Avikus and HD Hyundai ENT have signed an MoU to promote the adoption of autonomous navigation technology in the maritime sector.
