Galaxy Z Fold 7 real-life image leaks — here's how Samsung's next foldable could look
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has appeared in a real-life image, confirming the rumors we've been hearing about design upgrades.
Weibo-based leaker Setsuna Digital first shared the new image, as well as what looks to be a screen protector or display, allegedly from the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The device in the photo looks very similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
It is so similar that you would be forgiven for not believing this was a new leak.
But the first difference can be seen in the color, which seems to be Samsung's Icyblue hue, not one of the currently available Z Fold 6 colors.
Secondly, there are no prominent metal surrounds for the back of the phone like we see on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, suggesting a new construction style for Samsung's latest foldable.
The final sign is the flash placement, which is slightly lower in this image than on the Z Fold 6. This at least proves this is a different device from the current flagship Samsung foldable, even if there's no definitive way to prove this is a Z Fold 7 yet.
Although we can't tell from this image alone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will apparently also differ from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 by being larger. The new model is rumored to measure 8.2 inches across when open and 6.5 inches closed, rather than 7.6 inches and 6.3 inches like the Z Gold 6.

Other rumored changes coming to the new Z Fold include a 200MP main camera (up from 50MP), a thinner profile, and the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 are likely to debut at a Galaxy Unpacked event in the coming months, going by previous Samsung foldable launches. Keep an eye out for an event happening in July, but we'll keep hunting in case the release date, design or other details get further rumors to confirm or refute these details.

Source: Getty Images / Samsung / Doechii Samsung, with some help from Grammy Award-winning artist Doechii, celebrated the launch of its newest and thinnest flagship phone model, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Last night at the Edge NYC, Samsung brought the swamp to the sky, powered by Galaxy AI, in celebration of Doechii joining #TeamGalaxy and the arrival of the Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone. HipHopWired was among the select group of guests, influencers, and celebrities in attendance for the momentous occasion, which took place high above New York City's impressive skyline.

Before Doechii arrived, guests enjoyed light nights and signature cocktails while the Swamp Princess' personal vibes provider, DJ Miss Milan, kept heads nodding and toes tapping. Source: Getty Images / Samsung / Doechii Eventually, it was time for guests to head outside and live life on the edge, taking in Doechii's groundbreaking performance on the venue's impressive Edge Skydeck stage, which is literally in the clouds. Doechiig didn't disappoint, rocking a puffer trench from White Abyss, paired with earrings from Missoma and shoes from Jacquemus while putting on a short but still groundbreaking performance, belting out her hits like 'Boiled Peanuts' and 'Denial Is A River,' before exiting the stage. It was an epic moment indeed. The Lowdown On The Galaxy S25 Edge As for the Galaxy S25 Edge, it's Samsung's thinnest smartphone offering yet, measuring 5.8 millimeters in thickness and weighing only 163 grams, while still sporting premium features, making it one of the thinnest smartphones on the market. The thin smartphone features a durable titanium build paired with the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. It also features two premium cameras: a 200MP wide lens and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor with autofocus, enabling detailed macro photography and Nightography. Under the hood is the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, which delivers snappy performance, on-device AI processing, and features like the Now Brief and Now Bar.

Faraday Future Holds First Annual Stockholders' Day, Company Provides FX Product Updates, Confirms FX Super One Launch Timing, and Secures 600 New Deposits from Multi-Channel Network (MCN) Agencies
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, held its first Annual Stockholders' Day on Saturday, May 31, at the Company's global headquarters in Los Angeles. Attendees included stockholders and other Company guests who experienced Company presentations and updates, and personalized FF and FX vehicle ride and drive experiences. The event also offered an open Q&A session with FF executives and a special private dinner after the event for stockholders, offering an exclusive opportunity to engage directly with Company leadership. Words of encouragement from some of the Company's newest B2B partners were also delivered at the event. 'I want to personally thank all of the guests for being here at our very first 'Annual Stockholders' Day. It was a genuine pleasure to extend a welcoming hand to everyone who attended this event,' said Co-CEO YT Jia. 'This was more than just another Company event, it showed our unwavering commitment to stockholder engagement, long-term value creation, and full commitment to our 'Stockholders-First' principle.' FX Product and Brand Updates The Company plans to host the first exclusive offline product launch event for the FX Super One on June 29, tailored for five key groups: FF stockholders and investors; B2B sales partners and prospects; global supply chain partners; media, influencers and KOLs; co-creation officers and celebrities. Subsequently, FX will host a large-scale public launch event on July 17, the 'Super One Online Global Product Launch,' targeting retail consumers and opening up the large-scale online B2C paid pre-orders. FX Super One has now officially entered the parts procurement and production preparation phase. Internally, we've already started the countdown sprint toward having our first production vehicle off-line by year-end. Development of our second model and future products is also progressing steadily and according to plan. The Company is seeing strong momentum with B2B pre-orders for the FX brand. With the latest paid pre-order agreements, totaling 600 units, signed with two MCN agencies: CreatoRev and Good Deal, total binding B2B deposits for FX Super One now cover over 2,500 non-binding pre-orders. This marks significant progress toward FX's goal to disrupt the market dominance of some leading market players such as the Cadillac Escalade. CreatoRev and Good Deal will also collaborate as paid co-creation partners, enhancing the AI-MPV experience. This deep co-creation with leading American MCNs marks a breakthrough and key innovation in FX's Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales. Through this, we broke away from influencer advertising and pioneered an end-to-end B2B2C co-creation ecosystem model between an automaker and MCN-affiliated creators, a model that's never been seen before in the global auto industry. At this point, FX's B2B pre-orders now expand to three major categories: FF Par (Partner) program; commercial rental and livery companies; and livestream ecommerce MCN agencies. In the first phase, we are planning to expand our reach across eight U.S. states (California, New York, Florida, Texas, Washington, New Jersey, Neveda, and Massachusetts). FX is expecting to unveil the FX 4 product plan in Q3 2025 and begin accepting pre-orders before year end. Positioned as 'the disruptor of RAV4 in the AIEV era,' the FX 4 is the planned model with the greatest potential to become a true blockbuster and unlock the mainstream market within FX's current product lineup. Company Operation Updates On the user operations front, the Company is accelerating the digitalization, systemization, and IT integration of its user engagement ecosystem, a key accomplishment for the mass production and delivery of FX next year. On the after-sales service front, the Company is advancing the FX Service Par program, working to quickly establish collaborations with major automotive service providers, dealerships, and aftermarket partners. The Company is building a robust internal R&D system, especially centered on bringing much of the software and AI, bringing the core technologies, software, and AI capabilities in our $300,000 flagship FF 91 to the FX product line. In the second half of the year, our voice interaction system based on large language models and the full FF ecosystem of services could be deployed in the planned FX Super One and FX 4. The Company is working to complete the full-vehicle engineering, supply chain integration, testing and validation, mass production readiness, and U.S. regulatory compliance for the Super One and launching the hardware development of the FX 4. FF has successfully built a complete cycle for the FF 91—from product definition to after-sales support. Leveraging our 'Light, Swift, and Empowering' model, FX is able to complete this entire process in less time than the industry average. Middle East Updates As part of FF's global strategy, the Company's Middle East facility in Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) is now ready for occupancy. The local team will be taking over shortly, bringing international production capacity another step closer to reality. In the second half of the year, and contingent on available funding, FX aims to begin production of the FX Super One in the Middle East. The Middle East strategy presents four key values: Faster and more streamlined compliance processes; A high concentration of high net-worth users with strong demand for luxury business-class vehicles like the Super One; A critical opportunity to train our teams and validate our operational systems in preparation for large-scale U.S. market execution; and Visibility from FX's production, sales, and delivery, which will demonstrate our value and could bring strategic investors to the region. ABOUT FARADAY FUTURE Faraday Future is a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company. Founded in 2014, the Company's mission is to disrupt the automotive industry by creating a user-centric, technology-first, and smart driving experience. Faraday Future's flagship model, the FF91, exemplifies its vision for luxury, innovation, and performance.

Samsung Nears Wide-Ranging Deal With Perplexity for AI Features
(Bloomberg) -- Samsung Electronics Co. is nearing a wide-ranging deal to invest in Perplexity AI Inc. and put search technology from the artificial intelligence startup at the forefront of the South Korean company's devices. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months The two companies are in talks to preload Perplexity's app and assistant on upcoming Samsung devices and integrate the startup's search features into the Samsung web browser, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The firms have also discussed weaving Perplexity's technology into Samsung's Bixby virtual assistant, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Samsung is planning to announce the Perplexity integrations as early as this year, the people said, with the goal of including the service as a default assistant option in the Galaxy S26 phone line that's slated to launch in the first half of 2026. However, the specific details haven't been finalized and could still change. The tech giant is also expected to be one of the biggest investors in a new round of funding for Perplexity, the people said. The startup is in advanced discussions to raise $500 million at a $14 billion valuation, Bloomberg News has reported. The broad tie-up may help Samsung reduce its reliance on Alphabet Inc.'s Google and pave the way for it to work with a mix of AI developers, similar to Apple Inc.'s strategy for its devices and services. For Perplexity, the arrangement would mark its biggest mobile partnership to date and follows a recent integration deal with Motorola. Representatives for Samsung and Perplexity declined to comment. The two companies entered discussions about a partnership earlier this year, Bloomberg News reported in April. In recent weeks, the two sides met in South Korea, leading to them closing in on an agreement, the people said. Samsung and Perplexity have also discussed building an AI-infused operating system and an AI agents app that can tap into functionality from Perplexity and a range of other AI assistants, the people said. Apple has also shown interest in working with Perplexity. The iPhone maker has discussed using Perplexity as an alternative to Google Search as well as a substitute for ChatGPT integration in the Siri voice assistant, Bloomberg News has reported. 'We've been pretty impressed with what Perplexity has done, so we've started some discussions with them about what they're doing,' Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of services, said during recent testimony at a Google antitrust trial. It's unclear how Perplexity's relationship with Samsung, one of Apple's fiercest rivals, would affect that. --With assistance from Shirin Ghaffary and Yoolim Lee.
