Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Gets Targeted Upgrades Which Makes It More Functional
Last Updated: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is about the fine improvements, a bigger cover display and the AI experience in a compact form. Samsung showed it has moved on from the iterative foldables with a polished and sleeker Galaxy Z Fold 7 this year. And now it is time to switch focus to the Z Flip 7 version which also gets an FE variant in the market. The Flip 7 usually opts for the best in the market but this year Samsung has decided to go with an Exynos chipset for the device and other minute design tweaks to give it a more comfortable grip and better use case in other senses. You get a bigger cover screen, the battery size gone up but some of the well-rounded parts of the device have been retained. The Minute Design Growth Samsung has taken a few generations but the Galaxy Flip 7 finally gets a bigger cover screen which means you see the end of the notched camera layout. Just like the Z Fold 7 version, the Z Flip 7 model feels a lot more polished compared to the previous iteration that gives it better hand feel, grip is more solid and the actual improvements are noticeable when you start using it for a longer duration. The Flip model has got an extremely marginal bump in its weight (188 grams from 187 grams on the Flip 6) but the major difference comes with the folded and unfolded state of the device which is now 13.7mm (14.9mm earlier) and 6.5mm (6.9mm) with the Z Flip 7, respectively. Rest of the device and its engineering carry the same features and durability. The Cover Upgrade The Galaxy Z Flip 7 makes an immediate impression when you view the outer screen which has grown from 3.4-inch Super AMOLED 60Hz display to a matured 4.1-inch Super AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate. The difference in quality is easily evident, especially with the additional screen estate area available to view more apps and additional compatibility. The main inner display has also been bumped up from 6.7-inch Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED to a 6.9-inch screen of the same foldable type and same resolution specs. Both the displays bring more functionality to the Flip 7, especially with the cover screen which makes it easy to read messages, access apps and more. Having said that, the third-party support is fairly limited right now and we would like to see more apps taking advantage of the bigger unit. The display on both sides are sharp, fluid and the typical traits of an AMOLED panel from the brand that we have come to like over the years. Back To Exynos Samsung went with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Flip 6 and we expected the upgraded 8 Elite to be available with the new version like the Fold 7. But the brand has opted for the Exynos 2500 SoC with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. The new hardware is not bad per se, but when you price a product over Rs 1 lakh, people would generally expect the best package available in the market. That said, the Exynos powering the Flip 7 was surprisingly responsive, no major heating issues observed during our tests, and it can handle most of the tasks with ease. Yes, the benchmark scores do tell a different story but the actual optimisation gives a device that is powered to the right level. Talking about the software, One UI 8 is available out of the box, a big feat for Samsung since Google is yet to launch its new Pixel 10 series to the market. The new version has less UI changes but continues to show its worth with the overall experience and the general fluidity of the OS. Samsung offers 7 years of upgrades and security updates, which will stand true for the first time since its policy change. Cameras Samsung has brought the same Flip 6 camera setup to its successor. You get the 50MP primary sensor with OIS along with a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens. The main camera handles the bulk of the work and delivers on its usual promise. We did not see any difference in the quality of the photos that were sharp, detailed and giving you the expected natural tones in most cases. The portraits were clear but you do miss the telephoto nature of the shooters. The ultra-wide lens offers detailed images up to a point but not the best we've seen in the segment lately. Bigger But Lasts Longer? Like the screens on the Flip 7, Samsung has packed a bigger battery on the new model. You get a 4,300mAh unit compared to the 4,000mAh on the Flip 6 last year. However, the brand has stayed from using silicon carbon battery tech which means you only get 25W wired charging support and even the charger is missing in the box. top videos View all The new unit does better with the battery life but not by a lot. The 300mAh bump in the capacity was unlikely to make a huge difference and that's what we saw with the Flip 7 during our tests. You will need to charge the device at least one before you end the day. Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 brings incremental upgrades that are noticeable and they make a difference. The cover screen has gotten bigger finally, the battery size has gone up from last year and you get Android 16 out of the box along with 7 years of updates. However, the charging speeds are still slow, the cameras are good but the same as last year.

iPhone 17 Pro running Android spotted…
iPhone 17 series launch is about a month away, and Apple is expected to host the launch event on September 9, 2025. While we are awaiting the official launch announcement, a fake iPhone 17 Pro model has started to appear in the market with an Android skin that clones iOS 18. The fake iPhone also resembles the leaked design of the upcoming Pro model, giving quite a realistic look. However, it should be noted that the iPhone 17 Pro will launch in September, and the debut date is yet to be confirmed by Apple. iPhone 17 Pro launch is next month, and fake iPhone 17 models have already started to appear on the internet.(Majin Bu) iPhone 17 Pro clone surfaces Just ahead of the launch, a knockoff iPhone 17 Pro recently surfaced on the internet, running a version of Android OS. The images of the fake iPhone were shared by tipster Sonny Dickson on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the resemblance of the design to the leaks, but also showcasing a major downgrade due to the cloned operating system. Well, at first glance, the iPhone 17 Pro looks quite real, and the home screen on the images also emits iOS 18 versions with apps like App Store and Safari. However, the tipster assured that it's a fake iPhone 17 model and is running on Android. Additionally, the device has thicker bezels, again raising eyebrows over its originality. Therefore, it's a wake-up call for us to take the leaks with a grain of salt, since the official release is still awaited. Notably, the iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to run on iOS 26, bringing a major revamp to the design and user interface. Therefore, beware if you come across any fake iPhone 17 model in the market or on the internet ahead of the launch. iPhone 17 Pro: What to expect The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to come with a redesigned camera module, aluminium build, and slimmer bezels. It is expected to be powered by the A19 Pro chipset, paired with 12GB RAM. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is also tipped to be equipped with a vapour chamber cooling system for efficient performance and heat dissipation. The iPhone 17 Pro models will likely feature a new 48MP telephoto lens that may offer up to 8x optical zoom. It is also tipped to offer 8k video recording and other camera improvements. For selfies, the Pro models may feature a 24MP lens, marking an upgrade from previous generations' models.

YouTube Now Offers AI-Powered Search Feature For More Users But Not In India
Last Updated: YouTube AI search has been available for the last few months and it seems the company is ready for a wider rollout. YouTube's AI-powered search feature is coming to more people who have signed for the Premium version. But you still need to be in one of the main YouTube markets to try out the tool. The platform tends to keep some of its experimental features limited to a select base and eventually bring it for a wider rollout or completely ditch the tool. But in this case, we are seeing YouTube get new AI tools, and the Search option is moving to more people which can be only good in the larger scheme of things. You still need the Premium version of YouTube and only people in the US can get to try out the experimental feature. It is available for both iOS and Android users until August 20, and we might see the rollout get to more regions after that. AI searches have gotten smarter and YouTube is definitely using Google's dataset to make its own platform results and AI engine smarter. You can customise the AI search to get relevant details from videos and you can do that with the help of text prompts. It only works on the mobile app, but we do expect the web availability to happen in the next few months. We are eager to see if YouTube brings the feature to markets like India as well. Google has even confirmed these practices in the report, but claims it only uses a subset of videos and honours its terms and deals with creators and other communities. Google's Veo 3 AI model generates videos with ambient audio and background music. It is most likely taking help from YouTube's video catalogue to deliver high-quality content but the company doesn't say how many of the supposed 20 billion videos are being used to train the AI models. view comments First Published: August 12, 2025, 08:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
