Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 leaked ahead of July launch - Expected price, design & features
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 leaks: Samsung fans, get ready! A fresh leak has revealed the first clear image of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, giving us a good look at the phone's rear design. Expected to launch in July 2025 during the Galaxy Unpacked event, this foldable smartphone could arrive alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the more affordable Z Flip 7 FE. While Samsung hasn't officially confirmed anything yet, the leaks have already started to build excitement. First Clear Image of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Surfaces Online A newly leaked image of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been making waves online. The render was originally shared by a Weibo user on X, previously known as Twitter, but the post was quickly taken down. Thankfully, tipsters captured a screenshot before it vanished, adding credibility to the leak. The image shows the back panel of the phone featuring a familiar vertically aligned triple camera setup. Alleged Samsung Galaxy Z #GalaxyZFold7 Interestingly, the camera flash has been repositioned, hinting at a possible camera upgrade. Some rumours suggest that Samsung might include a 200MP primary sensor, giving users a major improvement in photography. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Design: What the Leak Tells Us From the leaked render, the design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 seems quite similar to the previous generation. The phone retains the book-style folding form factor but may come with subtle design changes. The flash placement and overall camera layout look slightly tweaked, possibly to accommodate a larger sensor. Previous leaks also hinted that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be the thinnest foldable phone yet. Reports claim it may measure just 3.9mm when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. These changes could make it more pocket-friendly without compromising on performance. Camera Upgrades: A Major Highlight One of the most exciting changes in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be its camera. The leaked image supports earlier rumours of a new camera setup. If the 200MP main sensor rumour turns out to be true, this will be a massive leap from previous models. Users can expect sharper photos, better low-light performance, and enhanced AI photography features. Expected Specs of Galaxy Z Fold 7 As per current leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may come packed with: Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite for Galaxy chip 12GB RAM 4,400mAh battery Ultra-thin design Foldable inner display and external cover screen with possible improvements in refresh rate and brightness While official details are yet to be revealed, these leaks give us a good idea of what to expect from the upcoming foldable powerhouse. Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE: What Else to Expect Samsung may also launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE along with the Fold 7. The Z Flip 7 is expected to feature: A larger outer cover screen (up to 4 inches) Main display increased to 6.85 inches Snapdragon 8 Elite or Exynos 2500 processor 12GB RAM, up to 512GB storage 4,300mAh battery A 50MP main camera Meanwhile, the Z Flip 7 FE could be Samsung's first-ever Fan Edition foldable. It may carry a similar design but toned-down specs like the Exynos 2400 chip and dual 12MP cameras, targeting users looking for a more affordable foldable phone. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Launch Date (Expected) Samsung is rumoured to reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE on July 4, 2025, during its second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year. Though the date isn't officially confirmed yet, leaks from reliable sources suggest that the wait won't be long. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Price in India (Expected) According to Times Now, if leaks are accurate, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 price in India could start at Rs 1,64,999 for the base 256GB model. The Z Flip 7 may be priced at Rs 1,09,999, while the Z Flip 7 FE could be launched at around Rs 97,000 (approx. EUR 1,000). The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated phones of 2025. From a thinner design and upgraded camera to improved performance, the leaks have painted a promising picture. While we await official confirmation on the launch date, price, and full specs, it's clear that Samsung's next-gen foldable is already creating a buzz in the tech world.

I tried out Samsung's Project Moohan headset — Android XR won me over
We've heard a lot about Samsung's Project Moohan in the past six months, from Samsung's teaser announcement last December to appearance at everything from Galaxy Unpacked to MWC 2025. But we're still waiting on key details on the virtual reality headset, including its specs and how much it will cost. After yet another appearance this week at the Google I/O 2025 developer conference, we're just waiting on those details. But having had a chance to wear a Project Moohan headset and even experience running a few apps on the device, I at least have a better sense of what you'll be able to do with Samsung's product once it arrives later this year. My hands-on time with Project Moohan was less about the headset itself — the Samsung representative walking me through my demo was politely tight-lipped about anything spec-related — and more an introduction to the Android XR platform that the headset is built upon. And from what I saw during that demo, Google apps updated for a virtual environment are very much a critical part of the Android XR experience on Moohan. Despite the lack of details on Project Moohan, we do know a little bit about the headset, which is the result of a partnership announced by Samsung, Google and Qualcomm in 2023 to develop an XR product together. According to Qualcomm back when Moohan was announced, the headset features a Snapdragon XR Plus Gen 2 chipset. That particular silicon offers support for up to 4.3K resolution in each eye, running at 90 frames per second. So it wasn't particularly surprising that graphics and apps looked very sharp when I tried on the headset. The passthrough mode does put an unusual tint around the people you're looking at through the Moohan lenses. I assume that's to add some depth to your view, so you don't feel cut off from the world around you the way you might wearing other headsets. Indeed, that's been my biggest complaint with any type of mixed reality headgear, but it's not an issue I ran into when trying on the Moohan headset. While Samsung hasn't confirmed the weight of its headset, it didn't feel particularly heavy during my demo — I certainly wasn't looking forward to removing it, as I am most of the time when trying on headsets. Putting on Moohan is simply a matter of slipping on the headset like a visor and then turning a knob on the back to tighten the fit and hold things in place. You'll definitely feel like you're wearing something over your face, but it's not overly burdensome, at least for the short time that I had it on. When I tried out Moohan, the headset featured light blockers that enclose the viewing area. But you can take those out to keep things open at the periphery — a way of staying rooted in the real world, the Samsung rep told me. And whether it was the light weight, the passthrough mode or just the overall design of the headset, I never experienced the sensation of disorientation that usually makes headsets a non-starter for me. You control Moohan with hand gestures: a pinching motion selected things while flipping around your hand and making the same pinching gesture takes you back to the home screen. There may be more gesture-based controls but apart from using my hands to scroll — more on that when we talk about the virtual view in Maps — those were the only controls I really needed on my tour of Moohan. I've never used Apple's Vision Pro, but I imagine the Project Moohan experience is pretty similar. When you go into virtual mode, you've got panels floating before you with different apps and information. The word "Moohan" apparently means "infinity" in Korean, and it seems like Samsung is using that as a guiding principal for its headset. The virtual world offers a seemingly infinite canvas, so why not take advantage of that with the apps running on Android XR? For the purposes of this demo, Samsung kept the focus on Google-built apps — things like Maps and YouTube that you'd find preinstalled on any Android device. Here, they've been optimized to work on Android XR, though, and the results can be very visually engaging. In YouTube, for instance, I selected a video highlighting the sights and sounds of Costa Rica, which played before my eyes like any 2D video on any platform. But I also had the option of watching a larger version of the video that took advantage of Moohan's display. Some YouTube videos could even display in 3D in the headset, adding a sense of depth to the footage. The effect felt a little bit like watching a 3D movie in a cinema, for good and for bad. For example, some motorcycles driving toward me looked three dimensional right up until they reached the camera, nullifying the 3D effect and reminding me that I was ultimately watching a flat image. That's more a limit of 3D video, though, and not really the headset's problem. In Google's Photos app, you can also view images with depth, wether it was photos of Google and Samsung reps setting up the demo space or a video of a little boy, cuddling his baby brother. The sensation is exactly what I imagine spatial photos and videos to be like on the Vision Pro, which is not to say that they're any less affecting when viewed on another headset like the Moohan. Perhaps my favorite demo featured Google Maps, as I could leap into an immersive view of a map and get a 3D bird's eye view of the area I had been searching for. It took a little to master the controls for scrolling and zooming in on the city scape — you have to use both hands, and I had a hard time controlling the precision of my zoom in the short amount of time I had to experiment with the controls. Nevertheless, I managed to go from a wide overhead view of Mexico City to a zoomed-in view where I could see the Arena Coliseo close-up. Summoning the Gemini assistant — Google's AI-powered assistant is as present on Moohan as it is on the company's own Android XR-based smart glasses — I could get information on Arena Coleseo, including when upcoming lucha libre matches were being held. Even better, when I asked Gemini to show me videos, we returned to the YouTube app with several lucha libre highlights cued up for my viewing pleasure. Project Moohan got a shout-out during the Google I/O keynote, including a reminder that the device will be coming out later this year. And when it does, all those remaining questions about its specs and price should be answered. The price question seems particularly salient, given how similar the experience of Samsung's headset seems to be with the Vision Pro. Apple's headset costs $3,499, clearly a factor in why sales and interest in the headset have petered out in the year its been available. If Samsung can deliver something that's in the ballpark features-wise but for a fraction of the cost, you may see an uptick in the interest in mixed reality devices like this one and the other Android XR-based offerings on the way. But that's not really what I came away from my time with Project Moohan thinking about. Rather I was struck by how well the Google apps running on Android XR had been optimized for the virtual space. It's that experience that's ultimately going to determine just how people react to Samsung's upcoming headset.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge Feels Absurdly Thin—at the Cost of Battery Life
The Galaxy S25 Edge begs the question: Do you want a thin phone or better battery life? Photograph: Samsung; Getty Images All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. I've been reviewing smartphones for a decade, and it's rare for a new device to wow me. But that was the only word that came out of my mouth after I picked up Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge. This is the company's ultra-thin smartphone, and it's shockingly lean and lightweight. Samsung unraveled the full details about the Edge today through a virtual Galaxy Unpacked event, after first teasing the device during the launch of the Galaxy S25 series in January. Preorders are also live, starting at $1,100, with official sales kicking off on May 30. That puts the Galaxy S25 Edge at $100 more than the Galaxy S25+ and $200 less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Here's everything you need to know. Bleeding Edge The Galaxy S25 Edge is on the left, and the Galaxy S25 is on the right. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Samsung says it's been wanting to make an ultrathin phone for some time, but it's only now able to achieve this feat without compromising on core features. Various phone makers over the years have dabbled in this space to earn the title of 'World's Thinnest Phone'—even earlier this year, we saw a concept device from Tecno that claimed to be a mere 5.75 mm thick. The Galaxy S25 Edge comes very close, measuring 5.8 mm and weighing just 163 grams. For context, the iPhone 16 is 7.8 mm thick and weighs 170 grams—the difference might not sound like much, but remember that the iPhone 16 has a 6.1-inch screen; the Edge has a 6.7-inch display, so you're getting far more screen. Compared to the same-sized Galaxy S25+, the Edge is 1.5 mm thinner and 27 grams lighter. It's hard to convey how impressively lightweight and thin it feels without trying it yourself. And you can—Samsung says the Edge will be paired with a new, lighter security bracket at retailers like Best Buy and carrier stores, so interested buyers can get a better sense of the phone without a bulky thing in the way. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu The phone's edges are so thin that it might affect how you hold it for a long period, because there's just not much for your fingers to grab. Time will tell. But once the wonder of the thinness fades away, you'll start wondering about battery life. The S25 Edge has a 3,900-mAh battery capacity, 100 mAh less than what's in the smaller Galaxy S25. It's a laughably small capacity compared to similar-sized phones these days. Still, Samsung says it's done a lot of work to optimize the display's power, and with the efficiency of the 3-nanometer Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset inside, you should get 'all-day' battery life. This run time supposedly outlasted the Galaxy S24 but fell short of the S25 in Samsung's tests. With average use, you can probably eke out a day, but power users may have to tote along a battery pack. Nothing like slimming a phone down, then forcing you to carry around a portable charger. It's worth noting that Samsung isn't using silicon-carbon battery technology, which offers denser batteries in a thinner design found in new devices like the OnePlus 13. Edge of Tomorrow Photograph: Julian Chokkattu This is the big question: Do you want a thin phone? Or a slightly thicker phone with a beefier battery that could last two days? I'd bet most people will say the latter. Samsung says its research found that people who bought its Ultra phones found the phone too big and heavy, but didn't want to downsize to the Galaxy S25+ or S25, as they didn't want to lose out on some features. Opting for the Edge means they'll have a feature-rich phone, but with the worst battery life in the entire Galaxy S25 lineup. It's a little perplexing. The Edge doesn't even support the fast charging speeds of the S25 Ultra, tapping out at 25 watts wired and 15 watts wireless. The S25 Edge has a titanium frame, just like the Ultra, to keep it lightweight. It also employs Corning's new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, which is similar to what's on the Ultra, minus the anti-reflective coating used to reduce glare. That allows the glass to be a little thinner on the Edge. The Galaxy S25 Edge is on the bottom, and the Galaxy S25 is on top. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu The other area where things are different is the cameras. Instead of the usual triple-camera setup on most Samsung flagship phones of the last few years, you get a dual-camera system. It's led by a 200-megapixel primary camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide, with a 12-megapixel selfie camera. There's no telephoto zoom camera, but you can get 'optical-like' image quality at 2X zoom, going up to 10X with AI-enhanced zoom. All the cameras have autofocus, so you can use macro mode for close-up shots with the ultrawide, and even the selfie camera has a wider field of view, so more people can fit in the frame. Samsung is quick to point out that you're getting many of the features available on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, from 4K 120 frames-per-second video recording—unavailable on the S25+ and S25—to the ability to shoot in Log format for greater control in the editing room. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Much of the other specs match up with the Galaxy S25 series, including 256 GB of starting storage, 12 GB of RAM, and the Qi2 Ready wireless charging system. This phone can also take advantage of all the same Galaxy AI features and will receive seven years of software updates. As much as Samsung says it's not compromising with the Galaxy S25 Edge, it still is. There's no third or fourth zoom camera here, and battery life likely won't match up to similar-sized peers. But if you're someone who prefers big phones but hates the associated weight and heft, you now have a new option from Samsung's lineup. It'll be interesting to see how the Galaxy S25 Edge fares ahead of Apple's iPhone September event, where the iPhone maker is rumored to unveil a new kind of iPhone: the iPhone 17 Air. Leaks suggest it'll be 5.5 mm thick, one-upping Samsung. Holding the iPhone 17 Air will likely be just as astonishing, but get ready to be disappointed with its battery stats.
