In contrast to its Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 winter event, the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Summer 2025 event heavily focused on hardware over its Galaxy AI frameworks—and the new hardware includes a budget-friendly foldable, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Best of all: You can pre-order right now, with shipping beginning July 25, 2025. Here's everything you need to know about Samsung Unpacked 2025.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: The latest in the booklet-style foldable phone features an all-new thin design and plenty of hardware upgrades, including a 200MP wide camera. Also improved is the partnership between Samsung and Google Gemini AI frameworks for an enhanced AI experience. What's noticeably absent this year? Samsung removed S Pen compatibility.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: The new Flex Window cover display increases to 4.1 inches. A new Samsung-branded Exynos processor also adds Samsung's DeX software to the Flip, a first time for the device.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: A new addition to the Samsung Z family, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE offers many features familiar to Samsung fans, including the 50MP camera first introduced on the Flip 6 last year. It launches with two storage options, 128GB and 256GB.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic: A new cushion design syncs the Samsung Watch 8 lineup with that of its sibling, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. The watches drop with plenty of new health-tracking features, including Antioxidant Index, Bedtime Guide and more for more ways to monitor and guide your health.

Rebecca Isaacs for Forbes Lighter And Much Thinner
Samsung's booklet-style foldable phone received an impressive list of upgrades. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm thick folded and 4.2mm unfolded—and that makes it the slimmest Samsung foldable phone to date by a large margin. For context, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm folded and 5.6mm unfolded. The unfolded display increases by 11%, or by 0.4 inches, to an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display to play mobile games and watch your shows.

It's also significantly lighter at 215 grams. This is huge: This foldable reduced its weight by 24 grams and is now lighter than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's 218 grams. The Armor Aluminum frame adds an improved Armor Flex Hinge that helps disperse stress on the hinge, too. A Processor Built To Help With Battery Life
Under the hood, it has the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite for Galaxy chip that's currently in the Samsung S25 series phones and its most recent addition, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. This aims to help with the battery life, which is the one feature that Samsung didn't upgrade: It remains at 4,400mAh, but the battery life increases to a 24-hour playback. Finally, It Gets Camera Upgrades
But in addition to the new design, it's the camera set that steals the thunder at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 summer event. Last year's Samsung Z Fold 6 sported a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 50MP main lens and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. This year, the new device enhances the 12MP ultrawide lens to a 12MP ultrawide auto-focus lens built for macro shots.

The device also enhances two of its lenses, a 200MP wide lens with 2x optical quality zoom and a 10MP telephoto wide 3x optical zoom lens, which are fairly substantial upgrades that promise to deliver high detail in your images. The 10MP selfie cam, while unchanged, increases its field of view to 100 degrees—17.6% wider than the Fold 6's field of view, so you can capture more friends in your selfies. In terms of the video, the device now automatically shows in 10-bit HDR for punchier, more vivid colors and enhanced shadowing. Some Galaxy AI Upgrades—With One Major Downside
While the focus was on the hardware of the Fold 7, there are some Galaxy AI upgrades, too. For example, you can create a preferred layout for AI Result Review when you're working on the device. Additionally, Circle To Search now comes to mobile gaming; use it while you're in the middle of your game to get access to walkthroughs, hints and more.
One glaring omission this year? Samsung removed the S Pen compatibility. Rebecca Isaacs for Forbes
Still, there's one glaring omission from this year's device. The Samsung Fold series gained renown for its S Pen compatibility but, this year, the brand removed all S Pen compatibility. Don't expect to use any kind of S Pen on this device.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $2,000 and comes in three colors: Jet Black, Shadow Blue and Silver Shadow. The Samsung store will also have an online-exclusive color, Mint. You can choose from three storage options, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. Shipping begins July 25. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7
Rebecca Isaacs for Forbes
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 may look very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, but there are some elegant upgrades that distinguish it from its predecessor. First, the cover display, also called the 'Flex Window,' increases its size from 3.4 inches to 4.1 inches, and the bezel significantly shrinks to 1.2mm. The Flex Window also receives more enhancements: In particular, it now offers a 120Hz refresh rate and a 2,600-nit brightness, up from 1,600 nits, and a 60Hz refresh rate on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Most of the upgrades come to the Flex Window: Now Bar and Now Brief now are available without the need to open the clamshell-style device, and you can also get weekly briefs at a glance. The device also gets access to curated wallpapers and custom emojis. One such example is the clock's Font To Fit, which takes the clock and stretches it around your personalized wallpaper—so, essentially, no more cutting off the face of a loved one or a pet. Gemini Also Joins The Flex Window
While much of the device is in the hardware, the Flip 7's Flex Window software saw some AI upgrades. This year, Samsung moved to go all-in with Google Gemini frameworks on the Flip 7. Mainly, you can now use Gemini without opening your device. Ask it questions, find restaurants and more without the need to flip the device open. Additionally, you can use the cameras to add context to anything you ask Gemini. Other Hardware Upgrades Include The Hinge And The Main Display
When opened, the display now sports a 6.9-inch display and is slightly wider than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, at 68.6mm wide. Like the Fold 7, the Flip 7 gets the Armor Flex Hinge to disperse stressors as you unfold and fold the device over the long term.

The cameras mostly stay the same: You can expect the 12MP ultrawide lens, the 50MP wide lens with 2x optical quality zoom and the 10MP main. The other large upgrade you can expect in the Flip 7 is the battery: The battery increases from 4,000 to 4,300mAh which, according to Samsung, promises up to 31 hours of video playback. A Plot Twist Comes To The Chipset
Still, it wouldn't be a Samsung event without a plot twist. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 sported a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor but, for this iteration, Samsung seemingly severed the partnership with Qualcomm in favor of Samsung's in-house Exynos 2400 chip. While the verdict is still out on whether this is a good move for the company, Samsung claims the 3nm processor works to bring another vital component to the Flip 7: Samsung DeX.
Samsung DeX software is a first for the device. It essentially turns the device into a mini PC, and you can use the display as a mouse if you connect it to a monitor or portable monitor. Further testing will show whether you can use the DeX software on the enhanced Flex Window.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 starts at $1,099 and comes in three colors: Coral Red, Jet Black and Blue Shadow. It offers two storage options, 256GB and 512GB. You can preorder the device now, and shipping begins July 25. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE
Rebecca Isaacs for Forbes A New Budget-Friendly Foldable
Samsung also debuted a new, more affordable version of the Samsung Galaxy Flip series. Many of the details are still scant on the latest budget-friendly addition to the Samsung Galaxy Flip family, but the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE looks very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. The device features a white Armor Aluminum shell.

Like the Flip 7, the Flip 7 FE features a 50MP camera for snapping shots as well as what looks like a 3.4-inch cover screen similar to the Flip 6. It also has an Exynos 2300 chipset that probably isn't as high-performance as the Exynos 2400 chipset in the regular Flip 7, but is still promising.
Currently, the Flip 7 only comes in one color: white. It also comes in two storage options: 128GB and 256GB. You can preorder it now, and shipping begins July 25. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8
Rebecca Isaacs for Forbes The Brand's Latest Wearable Adds New Health-Tracking Features
In addition to new mobile devices, Samsung announced its new smartwatch wearable lineup. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic uses a redesigned internal structure that results in a 11% thinner design and subsequently a lighter build. The Watch uses an Armor Aluminum 2 frame to protect against bumps and scrapes, too.
One of the interesting choices Samsung made is regarding the design itself. Previous iterations of the watch use a circular design with complications to match. The Samsung Watch 8 now sports a cushion design that still has the circular touchscreen in the middle. It's an odd choice, and I'm not fully certain I'm a fan. Further testing will tell. But this design may come with some practical choices—the watch now has an 8% larger battery on both the smaller and larger sizes. The display brightness also increases from 2,000 nits on the Watch 7 to 3,000 nits—a 50% brightness increase.

There are plenty of software upgrades to the new wearable: First, like the rest of Samsung Galaxy devices, the Now Bar comes to the smartwatch and shares at-a-glance information, timers and more. The One UI 8 operating system also includes the ability to add featured apps to the top of your apps compilation for easy access to Samsung Health, messages and more. Software Enhancements For Upgraded Health-Monitoring Features
Like the mobile devices, Samsung also expands its partnership with Google Gemini for wearables. The AI framework can help you compose messages, set timers and perform some multi-step tasks—all from the smartwatch.
Samsung also announced four new health-tracking features that are part of the Samsung UI 8 update and will be available in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8. There's the Antioxidant Index, which measures the antioxidant levels on your skin. Vascular Load helps you maintain and optimize your heart health and can help users understand their lifestyle choices based on their health data. Running Coach aims to guide users by providing plenty of running insights, from intensity recommendations to AI-based personalized training programs. Bedtime Guidance works in tandem with your health data, your preferred bedtime and Sleep Coach by reading the past three days of sleep data and recommending an optimal time to go to sleep.
Two new Samsung Health features this year are the Vascular Load and the Antioxidant Index. Rebecca Isaacs for Forbes
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 comes in Silver and Graphite, and offers both a Bluetooth and LTE option. The Bluetooth version costs $350 for a 40mm band and $380 for the 44mm band, and the LTE costs $400 for the 40mm band and $430 for the 44mm band. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic comes in White and Black; the Bluetooth option costs $500 and the LTE option costs $549. Both are available for preorder now, and shipping begins July 25. Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
While there wasn't a full announcement for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung did share the arrival of a new Titanium Blue color. The new color offers expanded storage—64GB— and it retails for $650. You can preorder it right now, and shipping begins July 25.
What New Samsung Phones Are Launching In 2025?
In 2025, Samsung has launched a slew of smartphones aimed for all types of fans of the brand. The company debuted its Samsung Galaxy S series, including the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S25, at the Samsung Unpacked winter 2025 event.
Recently, the company announced its thinnest phone yet, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.
At the company's Samsung Unpacked 2025 summer event, Samsung focused on its foldables and unveiled the latest in the Samsung Galaxy Z family. In particular, Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
When Can I Buy The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 And Flip 7?
Preorders for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 start today. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $2,000, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 starts at $1,099. Shipping begins July 25, 2025.
What's The Difference Between The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 And Watch 8 Classic?
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic share the same software, including Samsung's UI 8 operating system, and all the fitness features. The Watch 8 features a sleeker design without the rotating crown for a more modern finish, while the Watch 8 Classic offers a rotating bezel and a slightly larger footprint on the wrist.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold — what we know so far
Last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold was an impressive piece of foldable hardware from Google. A big improvement on the original Pixel Fold with a larger, brighter screen, boosted camera specs, and enhanced AI capabilities, it earned its place on our list of the best foldable phones. In August, Google is expected to release its third foldable phone in as many years when it launches the Pixel 10 range. But just what will the Pixel 10 Pro Fold bring to the table, and will it be worth the wait? Here's what we know so far. Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold (rumored) Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Cover Display 6.4-inch OLED 6.3-inch OLED Inner Display 8-inch OLED 8-inch OLED Refresh Rate 120 Hz 120 Hz Chipset Tensor G5 Tensor G4 RAM 16GB 16GB Storage 256GB/512GB/1TB 256GB/512GB Cameras 48MP (main), 10.8MP (ultrawide), 10.5MP (5x telephoto), 2x 10MP (selfie) 48MP (main), 10.8MP (ultrawide), 10.5MP (5x telephoto), 2x 10MP (selfie) Battery 5,015 mAh 4,650 mAh Charging 23W (wired), 15W (Qi2) 21W (wired), 8W (Qi) IP Rating IP68 IPX8 The original Google Pixel Fold was a standalone, unnumbered device that arrived in June 2023 — a full four months before the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro arrived on the scene. But last year, Google made its foldable part of the Pixel 9 range with a release date to match. The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold were all announced at the same August 13 event. It looks like Google is keeping the August schedule and numbered branding, with a Made by Pixel event already announced for August 20, 2025. It's very likely that we'll get our first look at the Pixel 10 Pro Fold then, even if the handset won't be in early adopters' hands until September. In terms of pricing, Android Headlines believes Google will slash its Pixel 10 Pro Fold MSRP to 'around $1,600'. If true, that would seriously take the fight to the current foldable value option, the OnePlus Open, though it feels a touch optimistic, given the previous two models have stuck stubbornly to $1,799. We'll believe it when we see it, but we'll keep our fingers crossed. It doesn't sound like Google will be changing the main look and feel of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Like its predecessors, and the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, this will be a regular-looking phone, which unfolds to reveal a larger tablet screen to make apps more enjoyable. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. But it won't be identical, with the cover display set to grow a little from 6.3 inches to 6.4. This doesn't mean that the phone will be more difficult to hold, though, with Google reportedly able to increase the size by slimming down the bezel and hinge rather than increasing the footprint. We can also expect a brighter screen, with the same report predicting a jump to 3,000 nits. That's around 10% more than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, matching the Super Actual Display seen on the Pixel 9 Pro. Aesthetically, things look much the same, but two colors have already been tipped. Leakers are anticipating that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be available in both 'Moonstone' and 'Jade' — a light green and a slate blue. No regular black or white shades are mentioned, but it would be surprising if Google opted to drop the less playful tones completely. More importantly, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be the first foldable to sport an IP68 rating — a big improvement on its predecessors, which only have IPX8 protection. If true, that means that the new foldable will be resistant to dust, as well as water up to 1.5 meters for half an hour. Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 only boasts an IP48 rating. Powering the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be the Tensor G5 chip. While previous Tensor chips have lagged a little in the raw performance stakes, this year the hardware will reportedly be built by TSMC rather than Samsung, and using the company's 3nm fabrication process. This theoretically could be a big boost, given the company's chip-making prowess, but one leaker says you should temper your expectations, calling it 'basically [a] TSMC-made version of G4'. Still, the phone will be extremely competitive in other respects, with 16GB RAM, and either 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of internal storage. The biggest upgrade looks set to be in battery life, however. While the Pixel 9 Pro Fold packed a not-insubstantial 4,650mAh cell, its successor is set to increase that by nearly 8% with a jump to 5,015mAh. That's a big difference, and could put clear blue water between this and the 4,400mAh battery in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. The bad news is that there's no evidence that Google will be upping the camera specs on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Camera leaks so far have indicated that the phone will boast the same setup as its predecessor: a 48-megapixel main sensor, backed by a 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto lens and a 10.5-megapixel ultrawide camera. While these specs certainly aren't bad, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold can take very good photos indeed, it was barely a step up from the original Pixel Fold. And, by the looks of things, this won't be a generational leap either. Of course, hardware specs aren't everything, and Pixel phones have always punched above their weight in the photography department thanks to Google's excellent image processing. It's possible, therefore, that there will be enough software improvements to compensate for the seemingly static specs. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold looks like another solid year-on-year improvement for Google's foldables. The rumored larger cover screen is great, especially as it seems to come without a bigger overall footprint, and the increased battery size could be a game-changer for power users looking to make the most of the larger internal screen. A smaller hinge and IP68 protection make it sound like Google's foldable technology is maturing at an impressive rate, too. The lack of movement in the camera stakes is a little disappointing, but will be all but forgotten if the rumored cheaper price becomes reality. We'll find out on August 20.

AI Founder Pays $38.2 Million for Beachfront Miami-Area Penthouse
This spring, 42-year-old tech entrepreneur Daniel Nadler gave up his Miami rental apartment and moved into a beachfront hotel. The goal was to streamline his life and focus on building OpenEvidence, his Google-backed medical AI company, which is valued at $3.5 billion. 'I didn't want the overhead of dealing with houses and all of the stuff that comes with houses,' he said. 'If I could wake up at 4 a.m. and just order room service—this is so perfect.'

OnePlus Nord 5 review: selfie-centric midranger
The OnePlus Nord 5 does exactly what the company's Nord phones have always done: deliver strong specs at a relatively low price. It's one of the more powerful phones at this price point and should easily outstrip Samsung and Google's more expensive alternatives. This is a function-over-form phone, one where the key selling points are a powerful processor and long battery life, which are the boring mainstays that tend to matter the most in midrange models like this. The problem for the Nord 5 is that other midrange phones in the markets where it's available — including Europe and India, but not the US — offer even faster chipsets and bigger batteries, leaving the new OnePlus phone a little stranded and reliant on an above-average selfie camera to help it stand out. 7 Verge Score Performance sits at the heart of the Nord 5 sales pitch. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset was designed for more expensive phones than this, albeit when it launched a little over a year ago. Combined with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage in the base £399 / €449 (around $530) model, and 12GB RAM and 512GB storage for £100 / €100 (around $125) more, it offers potent specs for the price. That lends itself well to gaming, which explains why OnePlus has opted for a display that's big, bright, and fast: a 6.81-inch OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. I'm still skeptical about such high refresh rates in phones — few games are ever going to break past 120fps anyway. OnePlus says it's repositioned the antennae to perform better when the phone's held in landscape mode for gaming, though manufacturers have been touting that sort of work for years. Battery is the other half of the performance equation, and the 5,200mAh capacity here is good, too. I spent my first week with the phone traveling (which is how I discovered one annoyance: there's no eSIM support), which is always demanding on power, and never felt much battery anxiety. It'll last a day comfortably, and about halfway into a second, but I think you'd struggle to make a full two days without a top-up. The 80W wired charging delivers a full charge in 45 minutes, including bypass charging that powers the phone directly, without overcharging the battery, if you wanted to keep it plugged in during long gaming sessions. The major concession to price is that there's no wireless charging. The problem is that for all that power, this isn't the most capable phone at this price point. The Poco F7 is slightly cheaper than the Nord 5 and comes with a better chipset, bigger battery, and faster charging. The OnePlus phone wins on refresh rate, but that's hardly enough to make up for being comfortably less powerful elsewhere, meaning the F7 is still likely to hit higher frame rates during demanding games. Anyone looking for gaming performance first and foremost will likely be drawn to the F7, so what can the Nord 5 offer elsewhere to make up the difference? The most unique element of the hardware is the Plus Key, a new button that replaces OnePlus' traditional Alert Slider. This is a customizable key that, by default, does the same thing the Alert Slider did — it lets you cycle between ring, vibrate, and silent modes. But it can also be set to open the camera, turn on the flashlight, take a screenshot, and more. It's not fully customizable, though, so you can't set it to open any app or trigger custom functions. The Plus Key can also be used to take a screenshot and add it to Mind Space, an AI tool that analyzes images to summarize them, create reminders, or generate calendar events. It's remarkably similar to Nothing's Essential Space, which does almost the same thing — also using a dedicated hardware key — but unlike Nothing's version, you can't add voice notes to give the AI more information, get summaries of longer audio recordings, or even open Mind Space itself using the Plus Key, so OnePlus' take on the software is more basic. There's little else to complain about on the software side. The Nord 5 ships running OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15, and will get a respectable (but certainly not category-leading) four years of major OS updates and six years of security support. One extra bonus is easy wireless file-sharing between the phone and a Windows PC, Mac, iPad, or iPhone, though you'll need to install the O Plus Connect software on the other device — and sadly, there's no support for the full Mac remote control found on the OnePlus Pad 3. OnePlus has made an unusual choice by prioritizing the phone's selfie camera, which features a 50-megapixel sensor that's larger than the average selfie cam. I'm not a natural selfie-taker, but the results are good and packed with detail. They're not markedly better than rivals in normal lighting, but that's because most phone cameras now handle daylight comfortably. The portrait mode is the only small weak point, struggling to separate the strands of my hair most of the time. But this camera comes into its own at night: the large sensor and fast f/2.0 aperture helping the Nord 5 to capture impressive detail in the dark, when most other selfie cameras fall apart. If you need a phone to capture you and your crew on nights out and at dimly lit dinners, this might be the one. The main 50-megapixel rear camera is good but not great. It struggles with fast-moving subjects like pets and kids, and you'll need a steady hand to get great shots at night, but that's all typical for phones at this price. Colors tend to be a little oversaturated and artificial from this lens; the 8-megapixel ultrawide is more subdued but loses much more detail in shadowy spots. The Nord 5 faces stiff competition on both sides. You could spend less for more power with the Poco F7 or spend £100 / €100 (around $125) more for Google's Pixel 9A for comfortably better cameras, tougher water resistance, and more years of software support. The Nord 5 isn't a bad phone. But it's unclear what its unique selling point is. OnePlus has leaned into power and performance, but it has been outplayed by Poco. The Pixel 9A, while more expensive, beats it on camera and design. Even its dedicated AI button is done better elsewhere, for less, in the Nothing Phone 3A. The Nord 5's best hope for finding an audience is its selfie camera, which is better than any other phone around it, at least in low light. But as selling points go, that feels like a minor one. Photography by Dominic Preston / The Verge Every smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it — contracts that no one actually reads. It's impossible for us to read and analyze every single one of these agreements. But we started counting exactly how many times you have to hit 'agree' to use devices when we review them since these are agreements most people don't read and definitely can't negotiate. To use the OnePlus Nord 5, you must agree to: There are many optional agreements. Here are just a few: Final tally: there are six mandatory agreements and at least 10 optional ones.
