  37. <div>The next big thing in flip phones has just arrived! The official announcement of the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-8bfb6af5-6203-40cf-97dd-d60c2911fc19 -->Galaxy Z Flip 7, the next flagship flip phone from Samsung is now behind us.</div>
  38. <p>With the Motorola Razr Ultra already making rounds and getting a lot of attention, Samsung needed to bring some upgrades to the table in order to compete. And most importantly, convince its long-time fans to stay inside the ecosystem.</p>
  39. <div>Speaking of which, the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-f48da89b-4919-4a87-b651-47d6f7361af4 -->Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be two years old soon, and people might already be on the lookout for a replacement. So, should they upgrade to the upcoming <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> or look elsewhere? Let&#8217;s find out!</div>

  160. <h2><span id="design" class="anchor">Design and Size</span></h2>
  161. <h5>Slightly bigger dimensions</h5>
  162. <p>Тhe <span/><span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> follows in the same footsteps as its predecessors, including the <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span>. The listed dimensions suggest that the new model is a tad wider to accommodate the larger main screen. We&#8217;re talking a couple of millimeters, so nothing drastic.</p>
  163. <p>The design is very similar between generations but the new phone features an edge-to-edge cover screen, similar to what Motorola has been doing for some time now. Overall, the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> is also thinner, Samsung boasts 6.5 mm thickness unfolded and 13.7 mm folded, making it the thinnest Samsung flip phone to date.</p>
  164. <p>The weight of the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> is very similar to that of its predecessors, again <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span> included. You can check the exact dimensions and weights in the table below.</p>

The <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on its back and over its cover screen, just like the <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span>. Both phones rely on aluminum frames.</p>

  236. <p>Samsung has brought some changes to both displays of the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span>, compared to last generation, and, of course, compared to the <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span>.

  256. </div>
  257. <div>In terms of brightness, the same 2600 nits of peak brightness figures are cited for the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span>, which in turn means an upgrade from the advertised 1750 nits on the <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span>.</p>
  258. <p>In our display test, the <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span> managed only 857 nits of brightness at 100% APL, which, by 2025 standards, is average. We can&#8217;t wait to test the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span>, but if we extrapolate from the previous generation, we should expect something in the ballpark of 1200 nits at 100% APL.</p>
  259. <p>Both screens on the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> are able to go up to 120 Hz, but the main one is an LTPO covering 1-120 Hz, while the cover has fixed 60/120 Hz refresh rates. The <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span>, on the other hand, can do only 60 Hz on its cover screen but features the same LTPO tech on the main display. Stay tuned for lab tests soon.</div>
  260. <h2><span id="performance" class="anchor">Performance and Software</span></h2>
  261. <h5>Exynos makes a surprise return</h5>
  262. <p>Surprise, surprise! Exynos is back. The <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> comes with the Exynos 2500 chipset, the latest from Samsung foundries, built on a 3nm node. This is the debut of this specific silicon, so we don&#8217;t have any idea how it stacks against the Snapdragon 8 Elite.</p>
  263. <p>We expected the <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> to actually get the aforementioned Qualcomm chipset, but the surprise was real. We have to run some tests in our lab and see if Samsung has managed to close the gap to the benchmark-setting Snapdragon 8 Elite.</p>

  288. <p>The RAM situation is in favor of the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span>, the phone mimics the RAM of the previous model coming in at 12GB, which is still more than what the <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span> has to offer, which is just 8GB of RAM.</p>

In contrast, the <span>Galaxy <span>Z Flip 5, which is almost two years old now, </span></span>was announced with OneUI 5 and <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-c4628a2a-9f68-4245-8e7a-b6cf07260ea3 -->Android 13 but was brought up to the latest OS with subsequent updates. </div>

Samsung already upgraded the main camera on the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-b71692ca-a4ce-4125-a4d2-6c613824d9e9 -->Galaxy Z Flip 6, so in practice, we&#8217;ve got a better main camera on the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span>, if we compare it to the <span>Galaxy Z Flip 5</span>.</div>

  316. <p>As always, we have to keep in mind that hardware alone isn&#8217;t the deciding factor when we talk about smartphone photography, and different post-processing algorithms are in play.

  321. <p>Now, the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> brings a substantial upgrade (at least compared to the Z Flip 5). The battery capacity of the new flip flagship is 4300 mAh, exactly 600 mAh more than the Z Flip 5.

  442. <h2>Motorola Razr Plus (2025) Intro</h2>
  443. <div>When it comes to <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-4d232e96-2e03-4614-a98a-2732bfbc4996 -->foldable phones of the flip type, Motorola is one of the bigger factors on the market. The company&#8217;s Razr lineup for 2025 consists of three phones: the super-premium Razr Ultra (2025), the absolutely affordable Razr (2025), and finally, this here <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-c9588a4f-79ff-4b91-8e47-841ae12396c9 -->Razr Plus (2025), which might very well be the best-value foldable this year.</div>
  444. <p>The annual refresh to the <span>Razr Plus</span> doesn&#8217;t redefine the core formula behind the flip phone at all but only freshens up some specs and keeps all the great things that made last year&#8217;s <span>Razr Plus</span> such an important upgrade. That one scored a sturdier hinge and improved haptics, a brighter screen, and performance optimizations. </p>
  445. <p>The new Razr is a continuation of all that, but blink, and you might miss all the new features. In fact, are there any at all, or did last year&#8217;s phone simply got repackaged?</p>

  546. <p>Little has changed with the new version of the <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025), which looks and feels identical to its predecessor. That&#8217;s not a bad thing at all: the phone is among the sleekest flip foldables available right now, with a design language that stands out and exudes a premium feel. With a stylish aluminum frame painted in the new Mocha Mousse color, the device also features a soft vegan leather backplate that feels great to the touch.</p>
  547. <p>The hinge here is very robust and inspiring confidence, flexible but also capable of holding a tent-like position. As with most <span>foldable phones</span>, there&#8217;s a crease here, but it&#8217;s neither smaller nor larger than the one on last year&#8217;s <span>Razr Plus</span> model. You can see it when it reflects light, and you can feel it when you run your finger across the display, but it&#8217;s not distracting in any way.</p>

  556. <div>The outer display once again spans around the cutouts of the dual camera setup, making for an immersive experience. That&#8217;s unlike older Samsung foldables like the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-78b52190-166e-437f-88b8-b9e5e868b82a -->Galaxy Z Flip 6, which has a peculiar and oddly shaped outer screen.</div>
  557. <div>New here is the enhanced durability. While the older <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-67bdcffe-b775-4004-b7b6-37225b67a3cf -->Motorola Razr Plus (2024) was only water-resistant and didn&#8217;t provide any dust resistance at all, the new <span>Razr Plus</span> is an IP48 device, meaning that the phone is protected against 1 mm particles or larger and resistant to prolonged immersion in freshwater. </div>
  558. <p>Keep in mind that most dust and particles that might hurt the hinge are smaller than 1 mm, so while having an IP48 rating is great, it doesn&#8217;t mean that the phone is totally protected from the harmful effects of such particles. </p>
  559. <p>Size-wise, the phone is pretty much identical to its predecessor and sits very nicely in the hand. It&#8217;s a bit too tall and resembles a TV remote when unfolded, but apart from that, using it is a good experience. The same applies to using the phone folded: navigating the 4-inch cover screen with a single hand is an easy task. </p>

  568. <p>The only thing I don&#8217;t like are the fairly thick and raised bezels of the inner screen, but you&#8217;d get used to them eventually. </p>
  569. <p>The phone is available in Mocha Mousse, Midnight Blue, and Hot Pink colors. We had the Mocha Mousse on us, and it&#8217;s a which is a pretty intriguing mix between copper and chocolate and looks absolutely stunning and posh. I adore the color, and I think more manufacturers should follow Motorola in adorning their devices with such lush and vivid colors instead of relying on drab monochrome hues. </p>
  570. <p>Inside the box, you will find all the following accessories, save for a charger (which is the new &#8220;normal&#8221;):</p>

  577. <p>The inner display stands at 6.9 inches across, but it&#8217;s narrower than most conventional phones; as a result, it&#8217;s effortless to use this one without having to overstretch your thumb. It&#8217;s an  OLED panel with a super-high refresh rate capable of reaching 165Hz when gaming, making for a very smooth and pleasant experience. However, the main display will run at 120Hz in most other scenarios. </p>

  584. <p>Although Motorola advertises 3,000 nits of peak brightness, we achieved a lower peak result of 1,200 nits. The color temperature, accuracy, and gamma are similar to the older device and can&#8217;t really match the measurements achieved by the <span>Galaxy <span>Z Flip 6</span></span>. </p>
  585. <p>There&#8217;s a capacitive fingerprint embedded in the power button, and it&#8217;s fast, accurate, and convenient to use in both folded and unfolded states. It works great all the time.</p>

  589. <h5>Dual camera but hardly any improvements</h5>
  590. <p>The <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025) comes with the same dual camera as its predecessor, utilizing dual 50MP cameras for both the main and 2.0X telephoto cameras. No ultrawide here, but there&#8217;s no real need for one, honestly speaking. In terms of image quality, not much has changed, so it&#8217;s totally unsurprising that the camera performs just as good as the prior <span>Motorola <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025)</span>. </p>
  591. </div>
  592. <div>In our camera benchmark, the <span>Motorola <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025)</span> performs mostly similarly to its predecessor, achieving a fairly low score of 115. That&#8217;s mostly due to the lack of an ultrawide, which is a cornerstone of modern phones. </p>
  593. <p>The phone takes pretty decent photos, with good dynamics and excellent auto HDR, which doesn&#8217;t provide a preview before you snap the picture but always delivers good results to your image gallery. Sharpness is more than adequate, with details appearing natural thanks to the lack of oversharpening here. Colors are on the vibrant side, which is okay. There are many creative camera features to play with here, but my favorite one is taking selfies with the main camera with the phone folded: the quality is good. </p>

  615. <p>Equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the Moto <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025) is a fairly well-performing device that fits nicely in the affordable flagship segment. While its performance can&#8217;t rival phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip on board, it gives fairly decent and snappy performance without any lag or hiccups. </p>
  616. <div>In our in-house benchmark tests, the new Motorola beats its predecessor in both the single- and multi-core Geekbench 6 tests, which could probably be traced back to improved optimization. The bottom line is that the new model is slightly faster, but you most certainly won&#8217;t be able to tell the difference in real life. What you&#8217;d be able to tell is that the <span>Galaxy <span>Z Flip 6, </span></span>and soon the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-82c1ec37-138f-48be-8927-72ddd4757b1b -->Galaxy Z Flip 7, perform better.   </div>

  620. <p>When it comes to the graphics performance, however, we notice that the Moto <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025) is marginally slower than its predecessor both in peak and sustained graphics performance. The difference is so dismal, however, that you might as well disregard it. The problem is that the <span>Galaxy <span>Z Flip 6</span></span> fares much better in this test, and the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> will definitely improve that further. </p>
  621. </div>
  622. <p><h3>GPU Performance</h3>
  623. </p>
  624. <p>The phone boasts 12GB of fast LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage, thankfully of the fast UFS 4.0 kind. That&#8217;s a relief given that the regular Razr features much slower UFS 2.2 storage.</p>
  625. <p><h2><span id="software" class="anchor">Motorola Razr Plus (2025) Software</span></h2>
  626. </p>
  627. <div>The clamshell flip phone runs on <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-2273638e-6a7a-4b99-acb4-50361386c721 -->Android 15, which is mostly similar to the stock-ish Google Pixel interface, but not quite. We get a more expressive and weighted typography here, with a ton of Motorola-specific features sprinkled around the interface. There&#8217;s also not much bloatware pre-installed, just the stock Motorola and Google apps, as well as Microsoft&#8217;s Copilot.</div>
  628. <p>The cover screen is quite useful. You can customize its layout and themes, access mini versions of all your apps, check your calendar, the weather, and even play games. Have in mind that not all apps might work well on the cover screen. All you&#8217;re missing here is a standard home screen, the rest makes the external screen of the <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025) extremely useful (unlike the Galaxy Z Flip line). There&#8217;s a lovely always-on display functionality, too, and you can use the cover screen as a viewfinder to take lovely selfies with the main camera. </p>
  629. <p>AI is prevalent here, with the company&#8217;s Moto AI suite running the show. It&#8217;s powered by Perplexity AI, so if you&#8217;ve used this LLM search engine, you&#8217;d feel pretty much at home with Moto AI. The phone lacks a dedicated AI key, but the Moto AI can be accessed via a handy floating bubble on the screen. </p>
  630. <div>In terms of features, you get access to the following:</p>
  631. <ul>
  632. <li>Catch me up, which gives you a summary of your notifications (unless you have tons of missed notifications, I found it useless);</li>
  633. <li>Pay attention (starts a voice note recording with an AI summary);</li>
  634. <li>Playlist Studio (creates a personalized music playlist on Amazon Music);</li>
  635. <li>Remember this (captures a screenshot with an AI summary);</li>
  636. <li>Image Studio (generates an image in one of 10 different styles like Cartoon, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Realistic and more)</li>
  637. </ul>
  638. </div>
  639. <p>Of course, there&#8217;s nothing stopping you from holding the power button to activate Gemini, or download your favorite AI app and use it freely here. </p>
  640. <div>The situation with software updates, the crux of <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-c2b463e3-1a5a-42f5-9b66-335078b34594 -->Motorola phones, is worse than the competition. While most manufacturers have moved to a seven-year software update policy, Motorola has been reserved in this regard. The Razr (2025) series is set to receive three software updates, which isn&#8217;t what we&#8217;d expect from a $1,000 <span>foldable phone</span>. </div>

  650. <p>No changes in the battery department: we get a 4,000mAh battery on board, just like on the older model. </p>
  651. <p>In the PhoneArena custom web browsing test, the phone lasts for a little over 16 hours, which is close to the average for the price class. The device also lasted for six hours and 40 minutes in our custom 3D gaming test, which isn&#8217;t too awe-inspiring and below our expectations. </p>
  652. <p>Finally, we got a result of nine hours and 17 minutes in the video streaming test. All of our tests were run with the screen manually set at 200 nits of brightness, which is what we do with all phones to ensure consistency. </p>

  666. <p>The phone has dual stereo speakers, which deliver decent audio quality. I heard little to no distortion even at higher volume, and bass was surprisingly decent, albeit lacking the signature thump of more premium candy bar phones. </p>
  667. <p>The mid-tones are a bit raised, making this device for watching reels, TikToks, and listening to podcasts, but listening to music on the speakers isn&#8217;t a bad experience at all. There&#8217;s Dolby Atmos support on the <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025), as well as a background denoise feature during phone calls. </p>

  677. <p>Should you buy this phone? Well, if you&#8217;re looking to get a clamshell <span>foldable phone</span> in the US, your options are kind of limited: it&#8217;s either one of Motorola&#8217;s wares or Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Z Flip phones, which are soon scoring their annual update with the <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span>. </p>
  678. <p>The Motorola does many things right. It has perfected the clamshell foldable design language that Motorola pioneered a few years ago. While the Ultra feels more posh and premium, this here Plus model doesn&#8217;t really feel worse in any way. </p>
  679. <p>Performance is fairly decent, and the battery life is more than acceptable, a welcome step over the regular Razr yet not as good as the Ultra. The camera is quite decent, too, and the lack of an ultrawide is a non-issue, to be honest. Selfies are lovely, but only when you take them with the main camera.</p>
  680. <p>But my favorite thing here is the overall user experience, shared between Motorola&#8217;s take on <span>Android 15</span> and the mighty useful cover screen. </p>
  681. <p>Sadly, the software support is just three years here, which sounds bad when you consider that most phone brands these days have switched to a seven-year software support policy. </p>
  682. <p>Overall, the <span>Motorola <span>Razr Plus</span> (2025)</span> is okay value for money, but the lack of sensible upgrades over its predecessor isn&#8217;t inspiring us with confidence to recommend with with open heart. </p>

  718. <div style="text-align:justify;">
  719. <p>The UK and France are uniting to counter digital warfare and protect vital modern technology from increasing cyber threats.</p>
  720. <p>In a world where your smartphone’s map app can guide you to the nearest coffee shop and freight ships navigate vast oceans using satellite signals, the prospect of those systems going dark is terrifying. Yet that’s exactly what’s been happening in Ukraine, where small handheld devices have been wreaking havoc on GPS systems that millions of people depend on every single day.</p>
  721. <p>The announcement came during a visit to Imperial College London, where President Emmanuel Macron and UK Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle witnessed firsthand some of the most cutting-edge AI research happening anywhere in the world.</p>
  722. <p>However, beneath the diplomatic smiles and handshakes lies a sobering reality: our reliance on space-based navigation has created a massive vulnerability that hostile actors are eager to exploit.</p>
  723. <p>“France and the UK both have huge ambitions for technology to boost economic growth and strengthen national security,” Kyle explained. “It is vital we work with natural partners like our French neighbours in these endeavours, particularly as the threats from hostile state actors only grows.”</p>
  724. <p>The partnership isn’t just about defence, though. Kyle painted a picture of what he called an “Entente Technologique,” building on the historic <a rel="nofollow" href="https://francobritish.org/en/entente-cordiale/">Entente Cordiale</a> between the two nations.</p>
  725. <p>“Today we build on the Entente Cordiale with an Entente Technologique, celebrating and renewing our longstanding and historic partnership so that together we can face down the challenges of tomorrow,” Kyle added.</p>
  726. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-life-stops-when-gps-fails">Life stops when GPS fails</h3>
  727. <p>Here’s the thing about GPS that most people don’t think about: it’s not just about finding your way to the pub. Your bank card transactions, the electricity grid keeping your lights on, even the timestamp on your text messages all depend on precise timing signals from satellites orbiting above your head.</p>
  728. <p>When those signals get jammed or disrupted, the consequences ripple through society. Ukraine has become an unwitting testing ground for this new form of warfare, where relatively cheap electronic devices can bring sophisticated infrastructure to its knees.</p>
  729. <p>The response from the UK and France centres on something called enhanced Long Range Navigation, or e-LORAN for short. Think of it as GPS’s earthbound cousin. Instead of relying on vulnerable satellites, e-LORAN uses ground-based radio towers that are much harder to disrupt.</p>
  730. <p>The UK government has been quietly developing this technology alongside the National Physical Laboratory and private companies, creating what’s essentially a backup system for when GPS goes wrong.</p>
  731. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-supercomputers-and-silicon-dreams">Supercomputers and silicon dreams</h3>
  732. <p>The partnership extends far beyond navigation, though. Britain and France are also linking up their supercomputing capabilities to accelerate AI breakthroughs across both countries.</p>
  733. <p>The Bristol Centre for Supercomputing, home to the powerful <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bristol.ac.uk/research/centres/bristol-supercomputing/articles/2025/isambard-ai-is-11th-fastest-supercomputer-in-the-world.html">Isambard-AI</a> system, will work closely with France’s GENCI computing centre, which leads their ‘AI Factory’ programme. These aren’t just powerful computers; they’re among the most sophisticated machines humanity has ever built, capable of calculations that would take regular computers centuries to complete.</p>
  734. <p>By pooling resources and expertise, both countries can punch above their weight in the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.artificialintelligence-news.com/news/ursula-von-der-leyen-ai-race-is-far-from-over/">global AI race</a> while sharing the financial burden.</p>
  735. <p>Kyle wasn’t shy about highlighting the economic benefits flowing from this partnership. Tens of millions of pounds are already flowing into British tech companies through UK-French trade relationships, creating jobs and spurring innovation across multiple sectors.</p>
  736. <p>This isn’t really just about national security or scientific prestige; it’s about economics. The countries that master these technologies first will have advantages in everything from financial services to healthcare, manufacturing to entertainment.</p>
  737. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-human-element-of-the-uk-france-partnership">The human element of the UK-France partnership</h3>
  738. <p>The partnership acknowledges that technological advancement isn’t just about better algorithms or faster processors; it’s about people working together to solve problems that no single country can tackle alone.</p>
  739. <p>The collaboration between the UK’s AI Security Institute and France’s INESIA will involve regular technical workshops where researchers from both sides share knowledge and tackle frontier AI challenges. These sessions represent the kind of quiet yet methodical work that often produces the most notable breakthroughs.</p>
  740. <p>Research institutions from both countries have already signed collaboration agreements, recognising that the biggest scientific challenges require international cooperation. Climate change, pandemic response, technological security … these aren’t problems that stop at any national border.</p>
  741. <p>The partnership will get another moment in the spotlight when UK AI Minister Feryal Clark and French Minister Clara Chappaz visit Diamond Light Source in Oxford. The incredible facility uses light 10 billion times brighter than the sun to study everything from virus structures to potential new medicines.</p>
  742. <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-uk-and-france-race-against-increasing-cyber-threats">UK and France race against increasing cyber threats</h3>
  743. <p>All of this is happening against a backdrop of intensifying global competition and mounting security threats. Both the UK and France face similar challenges from hostile states seeking to disrupt critical infrastructure and gain technological advantages.</p>
  744. <p>The partnership represents something of a pragmatic middle ground. Rather than going it alone or relying entirely on larger allies, both countries are betting that strategic cooperation with natural partners offers the best path forward.</p>
  745. <p>There’s an urgency here that goes beyond diplomatic niceties. Every day that critical infrastructure remains vulnerable to jamming attacks is another day that potential adversaries can study weaknesses and develop countermeasures. The war in Ukraine has provided a stark preview of what modern conflict looks like, and it’s not pretty.</p>
  746. <p>As digital infrastructure becomes ever more central to national security and economic prosperity, these kinds of collaborations will likely become the norm rather than the exception.</p>
  747. <p>The challenge is making sure that democratic nations can move fast enough to stay ahead of authoritarian competitors who don’t have to worry about things like parliamentary approval or public debate. Speed and agility will be crucial in the coming years.</p>

  790. <div>Samsung has finally done it — there’s now a more affordable Z Flip in the lineup. Meet the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-17d2dd6f-b5ef-442e-858b-e3e88d621318 -->Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, Samsung’s first Fan Edition clamshell foldable. It takes much of what made the Flip 6 popular and brings it to a slightly more accessible price point (although not as accessible as we hoped for).The <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> FE looks and feels a lot like last year’s Flip 6. It swaps the Snapdragon chip for an Exynos processor and starts with less storage, but otherwise, the two seem closely matched in design and hardware.</div>
  791. <div>With a starting price around $900, the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> FE isn’t that cheap either — and it’s certainly not a direct rival to Motorola’s more affordable Razr (2025), which starts at just $700.So what does Samsung’s first Fan Edition foldable actually bring to the table?</div>

  907. <h2><span id="design" class="anchor">Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Design and Display</span></h2>
  908. <h5>Same shape, new finish </h5>
  909. <p>From a distance, the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> FE is nearly indistinguishable from the Flip 6. It keeps the same dimensions, same clamshell design, and the same cover screen size — 3.4 inches.</div>
  910. <p>However, there&#8217;s a subtle shift in the finish: the rear glass now has a glossy surface, giving it a slightly more reflective look compared to the matte backs of previous models.</p>
  911. <div>The inner display remains a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It feels fluid and looks bright — exactly what we expect from <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-66a2de27-4fde-413a-ab99-192c05c0b8ab -->Samsung. The hinge is smooth, and the whole unit feels solid in the hand despite the FE label. You don’t get the slimmer bezels or larger cover screen from the regular <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span>, though.</div>
  912. <div>
  913. <h2><span id="camera" class="anchor">Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Camera</span></h2>
  914. <h5>Same great sensor, now in a more affordable foldable</h5>
  915. <div>The <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> FE features the same dual-camera setup found on the Flip 6 and <span>Flip 7</span>: a 50 MP main sensor and a 12 MP ultra-wide. You also get a 10 MP front-facing camera on the inner display.We haven’t had the chance to test image quality in full yet, but based on what we’ve seen from the same sensor on previous Flips, we expect solid daytime photos and decent low-light performance — especially with Samsung’s ProVisual Engine and AI enhancements helping out behind the scenes.</p>
  916. <p>FlexCam mode is present as expected, letting you prop the phone up at an angle and shoot hands-free, while the cover screen supports live previews for selfies — a fan-favorite Flip feature that makes snapping photos quick and fun without unfolding the phone.</p>
  917. </div>
  918. </div>
  919. <div>
  920. <h2><span id="performance" class="anchor">Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Performance <br /></span></h2>
  921. <h5>Not flagship-fast, but should be capable enough</h5>

  930. <h5>A bit smaller, but should be just fine </h5>
  931. <div>The <span>Flip 7</span> FE features a 4,000 mAh battery, slightly smaller than the 4,300 mAh unit in the regular <span>Flip 7</span>. Samsung claims it should last a full day, and while we’ll need to test that ourselves, we expect similar performance to the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-888d7654-2a24-4431-a1ce-2c6ed6a4a1d8 -->Galaxy Z Flip 6, which had the same battery capacity and held up reasonably well in daily use.</p>
  932. <p>Charging is capped at 25W wired and includes fast wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare. You’ll need to bring your own charger though, as none is included in the box.</p>

  936. <h2><span id="audio" class="anchor">Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Audio Quality and Haptics</span></h2>
  937. <p>Flip phones aren&#8217;t particularly the best when it comes to audio quality. Considering the <span>Flip 7</span> FE has the same body as the Flip 6, we don&#8217;t expect outstanding audio quality, but we do expect it to be good enough for watching videos. The same is true for the haptics</p>

  940. <h2><span id="summary" class="anchor">Should you buy the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE?<br /></span></h2>
  941. <div>The <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> FE doesn’t rewrite the foldable rulebook, but that’s not its job. It’s meant to be the most accessible entry point into Samsung’s stylish Flip series, and it does that by keeping the essentials and trimming just enough to hit a lower price.You miss out on the <span>Flip 7</span>’s larger cover screen, bigger battery, and refined design. But you still get a flagship-level main camera, a solid folding display, and access to Samsung’s latest <span>Galaxy AI</span> features.</p>
  942. <p>If Samsung can bring the price down through carrier deals the <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> FE could become the go-to foldable for budget-conscious shoppers. But at $900, with competitors like the Motorola Razr (2025) undercutting it, Samsung’s most affordable Z Flip still feels a little too expensive.</p>

  995. <p>Nothing’s throwing punches in two price tiers. The Phone (3) lands as the brand’s boldest and most expensive at $799, finally giving us a flagship-tier phone after two years of waiting and midranger launches.</p>
  996. <div>One such midranger is the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro. Aggressively priced at around $459, and with pretty adequate hardware on board. Also, it still has the old Glyph LED strips, which the Phone (3) has decided to kill off.One is chasing flagship status; the other seeks value-domination. So, which one suits you? Let’s dive in.</div>

  1099. <p>The Galaxy is much thinner and weighs less, so it almost feels like carrying a much smaller phone.</p>

  1125. <div>Both models share Nothing’s signature transparent aesthetic and the Essential Key, giving a unified brand identity. But their personalities diverge sharply.</p>
  1126. <p>Phone (3) leans max‑out: asymmetrical cams, Glyph Matrix dot‑matrix screen on the back, aluminum frame, and the most powerful hardware on a Nothing Phone right now.</p>
  1127. <p>Phone (3a) Pro tones it down with a more conservative circular camera module (but still a somewhat scatterrede design). The frame is plastic, but the back is glass.</p>
  1128. </div>
  1129. <div>You will also notice that both phones rock an extra button. That is, of course, the Essential Key, which is Nothing&#8217;s take on an AI assistant. It&#8217;s kind of like a screenshots app with a couple of extras. AI will annotate screen grabs and even generate specific alerts based on the context. Probably still evolving, but I can&#8217;t say it warrants having it&#8217;s own button on the phone.</p>

  1137. <div>The displays are OLED panels, seemingly cut from the same cloth: 1080p OLEDs at 120 Hz, 3,000 nit peaks on the (3a) Pro and 4,500 on the Phone (3). The Phone (3) is slightly smaller at 6.7 inches, vs 6.8 on the Phone (3a) Pro, but that could be just some decimals rounding in the wrong direction. Their measurements deviate by just a little:</p>
  1138. <h3>Display Measurements:</h3>
  1139. <p>So, about the same top and minimum brightness. And while they are usable, they are not among the best. 1,500 nits at max may give you trouble when you are out under the summer sun. 2 nits minimum is workable but not ideal when the lights are off (1 nit and below is optimal). </p>
  1140. <p>While we do forgive those numbers to a midranger like the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, we were hoping to get a slightly improved panel on the Phone (3). Well, we did&#8230; but with a huge emphasis of &#8220;slightly&#8221;, less so on &#8220;improved&#8221;.</p>

  1153. <p>Nothing says the Phone (3) is its first true flagship, which is a bit of an odd statement. A flagship product is the best or most mainstream one in a manufacturer&#8217;s portfolio at any given time. It&#8217;s not about how expensive or powerful it is — Samsung may have the Galaxy Z Fold series, but the S series is where the flagship phones are.</p>
  1154. <div>Anyway, I digress. The Phone (3) comes with a powerful chip, but not the top-tier one. The new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is about as powerful as last year&#8217;s <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-0a2dddd4-d8a6-45e5-8433-9f7535b23a56 -->Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is not bad at all — great performance and great results across the board. And it&#8217;s certainly much faster than the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 in the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro.  </div>

  1182. <p>While we are generally happy with the software optimizations and overall flow of the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, but it&#8217;s still an optimized midranger. You can catch apps installing slowly, or pictures taking a while to get processed, or other small hiccups.

  1187. <p>And here&#8217;s all your gaming performance — in the <span>Nothing Phone (3)</span>.</p>
  1188. <p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that the Phone (3) comes with 256 GB of fast, UFS 4.0 storage. The Phone (3a) Pro has 256 GB, too, sure. But it&#8217;s a UFS 2.2 chip — at least two generations old. Again, sure it works, but it&#8217;s noticeably slower when downloading, installing, or accessing files.</p>

  1198. <p>Two eccentric phones, two triple camera modules arranged in peculiar ways — these phones are definitely fun to watch and examine at the very least. But how do they perform? The <span>Nothing Phone (3)</span> has 50 MP sensors under all four ot its cameras, the Phone (3a) Pro is almost there — only its ultra-wide lens has an 8 MP sensor. So, before looking at some photos, here&#8217;s how they scored on our benchmark test:</p>
  1199. <div></p>
  1200. <h3>PhoneArena Camera Score:</h3>
  1201. <p>Yeah, the results are very close. The Phone (3) may have slight improvements in detail sharpening, better-lit shadows, or HDR treatment to the photo. Mostly, the improvements are visible indoors.</p>
  1202. </div>
  1203. <div></p>
  1204. <h3>Main Camera</h3>
  1205. <p><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-fbea974f-2faf-4321-bbd8-628f16ee929f --></p>
  1206. <p>Both phones deal pretty well, even with the sun blasting into their lenses. But the Phone (3) is a bit better at evening out dynamics and pulling colors out of shadows.</p>
  1207. </div>
  1208. <div>Indoors, we can see that the <span>Nothing Phone (3)</span> is much better at keeping high dynamics at bay and pull realistic color and skintone (if a bit saturated) from subjects. The Phone (3a) Pro is starting to wash out and lose it.</p>
  1209. <h3>Zoom Quality</h3>
  1210. <p><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-88e6fcb1-2338-471b-87c9-e9b9d2587acb -->
  1211. </div>
  1212. <p>Zoom quality is comparable in terms of detail, but the Phone (3) is much better at taking brighter and more vivid zoomed photos.</p>
  1213. <div>Again, slightly better dynamics, and details from the Phone (3).</p>
  1214. <h3>Selfies</h3>
  1215. <p><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-bd47abf9-9fdc-4b95-a302-8ed94edc4b9c -->

  1236. <p>OK, the <span>Nothing Phone (3)</span> features a bigger, 5,150mAh battery made with Si-Carbon tech, whereas the Phone (3a) Pro has a 5,000 mAh Li-Poly cell. First of all, what does this mean for endurance:</div>
  1237. <div></p>
  1238. <h3>PhoneArena Battery and Charging Test Results:</h3>
  1239. </div>
  1240. <p>Interrestingly, the Phone (3a) overperforms even on the browsing test, even if it has a slightly smaller battery. And, yes, it does get 2 extra hours on our gaming test, but hey — a much less powerful processor requres much less juice. Both phones are comparable on the video test.</p>
  1241. <p>But what do these numbers mean in general? Both are good for an active day — you can even forget to charge them and they will last through the night. A quick top-up in the morning and you are set. The Phone (3a) Pro does not support wireless charging, but the Phone (3) does.</p>
  1242. <div>As for the tech — Si-Carbon batteries are new and capable of packing more energy in smaller cells. Potential issue — they may have shorter overall lifespan, but we&#8217;ll see.</p>
  1243. <h2><span id="audio" class="anchor">Audio Quality and Haptics</span></h2>
  1244. <p>Eh, not amazing sound from neither of those phones. They don&#8217;t have a lot of bottom end, they are boxy and midrangey, a bit barky even. They work great for the built-in ringtones which have been designed around those speakers, and they are loud enough to wake you up, that&#8217;s for sure. Not for music, but OK for podcasts or YouTube videos.</p>
  1245. <p>The haptics are amazing on both phones — quick, clicky, and responsive.</p>

  1298. <p>The <span>Nothing Phone (3)</span> is certainly the more powerful phone, and will get more software support down the line, so there&#8217;s arguments to be made for it. It&#8217;s objectively the better phone, but at $800 — its price is getting up there. That, combined with the recent identity crysis and you may be feeling that you have no idea what you are &#8220;buying into&#8221;.</p>
  1299. <p>The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, on the other hand, is still a fantastic way into the ideology and experience of Nothing. You will get that mini Glyph to see what the hubbub is about (spoiler: mostly looks, but we like them!). You will get to see and experience the Nothing OS interface and the Essential Space. And you won&#8217;t be out a lot of money for it.</p>

  1341. <p>The UK will conduct another nationwide test of its Emergency Alerts system as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the country’s resilience.</p>
  1342. <p>On September 7th at 3pm BST, mobile phones across the UK will emit a loud siren and vibrate for about ten seconds, even when set to silent mode. A message will appear on screens clarifying that it is only a test.</p>
  1343. <p>An earlier nationwide test in April 2023 revealed several technical issues. During that test, some users received alerts earlier than scheduled, while others didn’t receive them at all. The government later acknowledged that approximately 7% of compatible devices failed to receive the message, with users on the Three network particularly affected. Some mobile users also reported receiving multiple identical alerts.</p>
  1344. <p>Despite these initial challenges, the Emergency Alerts system has been successfully deployed in the UK regionally five times over the past few years during severe weather events and other emergencies like terrorist attacks.</p>
  1345. <p>Pat McFadden, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said: “Emergency Alerts have the potential to save lives, allowing us to share essential information rapidly in emergency situations including extreme storms. Just like the fire alarm in your house, it’s important we test the system so that we know it will work if we need it. </p>
  1346. <p>“This test is part of our action plan to build resilience across the whole country and secure the nation under the Plan for Change – from the £1 billion we’re investing in a new network of National Biosecurity Centres to the £4.2 billion we’re investing to build a new generation of flood defences to protect local communities.”</p>
  1347. <p>The government plans to launch a public information campaign ahead of the test, including targeted communications for vulnerable groups such as victims of domestic abuse, and resources in British Sign Language.</p>
  1348. <p>Since its introduction, the UK Emergency Alerts system has proven valuable in several critical situations. The largest deployment occurred during Storm Éowyn in January 2025, when approximately 4.5 million people in Scotland and Northern Ireland received alerts following red weather warnings.</p>
  1349. <p>Similarly, around 3.5 million residents across Wales and the South West of England received alerts during Storm Darragh in December 2024, a storm that ultimately claimed two lives.</p>
  1350. <p>The system has also been used when an unexploded World War II bomb was discovered in Plymouth and during localised flash flooding in Cumbria and Leicestershire.</p>
  1351. <p>The upcoming emergency alerts test coincides with broader UK Government initiatives to strengthen national resilience. McFadden is set to unveil a new Resilience Action Plan, outlining improved approaches to emergency preparedness and response.</p>
  1352. <p>As part of this resilience plan, the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-science-innovation-and-technology">Department for Science, Innovation and Technology</a> (DSIT) is investing £370 million to enhance the security of UK telecoms networks through research and infrastructure improvements.</p>

  1394. <div>Samsung is doubling down on foldables this summer, with not one but two Galaxy Z Flip models expected to launch side by side.</p>
  1395. <p>Alongside the premium <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-51228b03-4c2a-4e7c-b87e-22b317247de8 -->Galaxy Z Flip 7, we’re likely to see a new, more affordable addition: the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> FE (Fan Edition). Priced at an expected $799, the <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> FE will directly challenge Motorola’s base Razr (2025), while the regular <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> is expected to stick with the $1,099 price tag of its predecessor.</p>
  1396. <p>That brings us to the big question for this year’s clamshell showdown: what exactly are you giving up by going with Samsung’s budget-friendly foldable — and what might you still be getting?</p></div>

  1469. <div>Where the two will likely be different is in the details. The <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> is expected to feature tighter bezels, a sleeker profile, and possibly a less noticeable crease thanks to rumored hinge improvements. The FE model will likely stick closer to the Flip 6’s industrial design, with a punchy dual-tone finish that may appeal to younger buyers.</p>
  1470. <p>Both should come with an IP48 rating, meaning they&#8217;ll offer decent dust and water resistance — not quite flagship-level, but enough for your peace of mind.</p>

  1474. <p>The <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> takes a step forward with a slightly larger 6.85-inch inner display, up from the 6.7 inches on the FE. It’s an LTPO AMOLED 2X panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. The FE has the same core specs here (120Hz, HDR10+), but with a smaller diagonal and slightly higher pixel density.</p>

  1643. <div>Samsung is finally stepping into the budget foldable space, aiming to end Motorola’s near-monopoly with the launch of the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> FE. Much like Motorola’s Razr and <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-b33b2f03-ba9f-42d1-b1db-05ce14c14957 -->Razr Plus strategy, the <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> FE is expected to retain many of the core features from its flagship sibling, the <span>Galaxy <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span></span> — but at a significantly lower price.</p>
  1644. <p>At $300 less, the <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> FE could be a compelling entry point for foldable-curious buyers who aren’t ready to spend over a grand. Still, the differences under the hood matter: the FE model is rumored to pack the Exynos 2400 chip and 8GB of RAM, which may lead to a noticeably different experience compared to the Snapdragon-powered <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> with more memory.</p>
  1645. <p>One area where both models fall short is the cover display experience. Samsung continues to restrict functionality to a few widgets unless users install the Good Lock app, while Motorola’s Razr offers full app access out of the box with its 4-inch external screen — a much more intuitive and flexible setup.</p>
  1646. <p>If Samsung can improve native app support on the cover screen and drop the reliance on workarounds, both the <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> and <span>Z <span>Flip 7</span></span> FE could become far more compelling options — not just for foldable fans, but for anyone looking for innovation at a more accessible price.</p>

  1698. <p>According to preliminary <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.counterpointresearch.com/insight/china-smartphone-market-q2-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">data</a> from Counterpoint Research’s China Smartphone Weekly Sales Tracker, the gains were heavily dependent on aggressive price cuts and government subsidies rather than underlying demand strength in the world’s largest smartphone market.</p>
  1699. <p>The reality behind Apple’s improved market share in China reveals a company increasingly reliant on unsustainable tactics. Apple slashed iPhone prices by as much as one-third on major Chinese e-commerce platforms in May 2025, while also participating in government subsidy programs that provided up to 500 yuan discounts on select models. </p>
  1700. <p>While Associate Director Ethan Qi of Counterpoint Research praised the timing as “well timed and well received,” the strategy raises questions about Apple’s pricing power and brand premium in the Chinese market.</p>

  1702. <p>More concerning for Apple’s long-term prospects is Huawei’s commanding performance, which overshadowed any iPhone gains in China’s market share. Huawei not only secured the number one spot in China’s smartphone market but achieved a substantial 12% year-over-year growth, demonstrating that Chinese consumers increasingly prefer domestic alternatives. </p>
  1703. <p>The contrast is stark: while Apple needed deep discounts to achieve modest growth, Huawei’s success appears driven by genuine consumer preference and brand loyalty.</p>
  1704. <p>Senior Analyst Ivan Lam from Counterpoint Research explained Huawei’s dominance, stating that “Huawei is still riding high on the loyalty of its core users as they replace their old phones with new Huawei releases.” </p>
  1705. <p>This consumer loyalty represents a fundamental challenge for Apple’s long-term prospects in China, as it suggests that Chinese users are increasingly gravitating toward domestic alternatives rather than premium international brands.</p>
  1706. <p>The promotional period’s limited impact further illustrates Apple’s challenges. Despite aggressive pricing on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models, the overall 618 sales period remained flat year-over-year, indicating weak underlying consumer demand. </p>
  1707. <p>Even with Apple claiming the top spot during the sales period, the achievement required significant margin sacrifice and government support – hardly a sustainable path forward.</p>
  1708. <p>Industry analysts paint a sobering picture of Apple’s immediate future in China. According to the <em><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3316716/has-apple-been-trapped-china-not-so-fast-analysts-say?module=perpetual_scroll_1_RM&amp;pgtype=article" rel="noreferrer noopener">South China Morning Post</a></em>, Lam warned that “iPhone sales in China will stumble amid weak consumer spending and an ageing iPhone 16 cycle, while tepid iPhone 17 upgrades won’t spark demand” in the second half of 2025. </p>
  1709. <p>This forecast suggests that Apple’s Q2 performance may represent a reprieve rather than a genuine market recovery, with the iPhone’s China market share gains proving unsustainable without continued price erosion.</p>
  1710. <p>The competitive landscape has become increasingly challenging for Apple as Chinese smartphone manufacturers aggressively target the premium segment. According to the Counterpoint data, Huawei ranked as China’s biggest smartphone vendor by sales with a 19.4% market share in the first three months of 2025, while Apple’s position remained more precarious.</p>
  1711. <p>Beyond market competition, Apple continues to navigate regulatory challenges that could further impact its performance. Chinese rivals have already introduced artificial intelligence features in their smartphones, while Apple is still awaiting regulatory approval to launch its Apple Intelligence service in the country. </p>
  1712. <p>This regulatory lag puts Apple at a disadvantage in a market where AI capabilities are increasingly becoming a key differentiator. The government subsidy program that artificially inflated Apple’s Q2 results is set to diminish, removing a key crutch for the company’s performance. </p>
  1713. <p>Senior Analyst Mengmeng Zhang warned that “the program will be scaled back during the latter half of the year. This creates some risk, especially considering the recent sales season was uneventful.” </p>
  1714. <p>In short, without government support, Apple’s iPhone could face significant pressure in China’s market share rankings, particularly given research firm IDC’s <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS53546025" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast</a> of a 1.9% decline in Apple’s Chinese smartphone shipments for 2025.</p>
  1715. <p>The broader market context shows that China’s smartphone shipments plunged 21.8% in May 2025 amid weak consumption, indicating systemic challenges beyond individual brand performance.</p>
  1716. <p>For Apple, the Q2 2025 results in China reveal a company struggling to maintain relevance in its third-largest market. While the 8% growth figure may appear positive on paper, the underlying dynamics tell a story of eroding pricing power, increasing dependence on government support, and intensifying competitive pressure from domestic rivals. </p>
  1717. <p>The temporary improvement in Apple’s China market share for iPhone masks fundamental challenges that pricing adjustments alone cannot solve, suggesting that Apple’s Chinese smartphone business faces a challenging road ahead.</p>
  1718. <p>The coming quarters will test whether Apple can build on this momentum or whether the Q2 surge represents the peak of its recent China recovery, as Huawei and other domestic competitors continue to strengthen their positions in the world’s most competitive smartphone market.</p>

  1761. <h2>Poco F7 Intro</h2>
  1762. <div>Lately, Poco has been trying to step out of the affordable shadow and venture into new, flagship-populated territories. The launch of the Poco F7 Ultra was clear evidence of that, and now we have another pioneer sent to fight for the affordable flagship crown – the vanilla Poco F7.</p>
  1763. <p>There&#8217;s no Pro or Ultra moniker tied to this model, but surprisingly the phone comes with the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a bright 3200 nits display, a huge 6,500 mAh battery, and 12GB of RAM.</p>
  1764. <p>These specs, coupled with the interesting design, make the Poco F7 a contender for the crowded upper-midrange (or as we sometimes like to call it, affordable flagship) segment. The starting price of the Poco F7 is $399 for the 12/256 GB model, with early bird deals available in certain regions dragging the price down to $339.</p>
  1765. <p>Poco phones aren&#8217;t available in the US, at least not officially, even though the brand releases its models globally on its online store. So, you will have a hard time getting the F7 in the US, and even if you manage to get your hands on one, it might not work properly on US networks and carriers. With that out of the way, let&#8217;s proceed with the review.</p>
  1766. </div>
  1767. <p>Our composite review score tries to encapsulate the most important areas of the smartphone experience, and the values in each category have their own weight. Trying to be absolutely objective, each category consists of subcategories, with the idea to give you an overall score that reflects the phone&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses. In this case the Poco F7 scored quite high in charging, screen quality and performance, while software support, the lack of wireless charging, and the mediocre video quality dragged the final score down.</p>

  1844. <p>Inside the retail box there&#8217;s a 90W charging brick, a USB-C cable, a grey silicone back cover (high-quality and similar to the ones in the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-3df87ba6-77e5-406a-99e7-f7666a1a06f2 -->Xiaomi 15 series box), some paperwork and the phone itself.</p>
  1845. <p>The Poco F7 also comes with a pre-applied screen protector, so you don&#8217;t have to buy anything extra in order to start using the phone right away. Good job.</p>

  1851. <p>    </a></div>
  1852. <p>Moving to the big 6.83-inch display, we find a lot of things to like. First, the bezels are pretty thin, helping the phone to reach a screen-to-body ratio of 94.23%. </p>
  1853. <p>The display supports a high refresh rate, but it&#8217;s not an LTPO panel – you can either let the phone choose between 60 Hz and 120 Hz or choose manually between the two. The resolution is 1280 x 2772 pixels (1.5K) which translates to around 447 PPI pixel density, pretty decent considering the size of the screen.</p>
  1854. </div>
  1855. <div>Poco rates this AMOLED panel at 3,200 nits peak brightness, and indeed we were able to achieve 3,291 nits at 20% APL (average picture level), a truly impressive result. </p>
  1856. <p>The color accuracy is also top-notch with an average detlaE of 1.64, and the minimum brightness of this panel is great as well, coming in at 1.9 nits.</p>
  1857. <p>In terms of biometrics, the Poco F7 relies on an under-display fingerprint scanner of the optical variety, and it works quite well. You can set up facial recognition as well, but it relies only on the front-facing camera with no fancy radar or ToF tech, so it&#8217;s not as secure as a fingerprint scan.</p></div>

  1871. <p>The Poco F7 comes equipped with two cameras in its camera system. The main one uses a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor under a lens with an f/1.5 aperture. The pixel size is 1.6 microns after 4-to-1 pixel binning. There&#8217;s optical image stabilization on the main camera, as well as phase detection autofocus.</p>
  1872. </div>
  1873. <p>The ultrawide camera is the same as the one found on the Poco F7 Pro. It&#8217;s an 8MP snapper with a rather small 1/4.0&#8243; sensor, a 15 mm focal range equivalent and an f/2.2 aperture. Finally there&#8217;s a 20MP selfie camera in a hole-punch cutout on the front.</p>
  1874. <div>In good lighting conditions, the main camera can snap decent photos. The colors look pretty accurate, and the dynamic range is also good. There are occasional overexposed images, but it&#8217;s nothing too dramatic.</p>
  1875. <p>The ultrawide camera, on the other hand, is nothing to write home about. Its modest pixel count doesn&#8217;t allow for too many details to be resolved, and the color tonality is also a bit off, compared to the main camera.</p>

  1887. <p>The phone can record video with up to 4K at 60 fps, and it does a decent job at that resolution and framerate. However, there&#8217;s some loss of detail, especially at lower resolutions, and the image stabilization isn&#8217;t perfect when you use 4K. You can zoom in and out during recording, but as there&#8217;s no telephoto camera on this phone, it&#8217;s all digital and looks&#8230; well, like digital zoom.</p></div>
  1888. <p>All in all, the video recording capabilities of the Poco F7 are nothing to write home about but if you&#8217;re not a heavy vlogger the phone can get the job done.</p>

  1899. </div>
  1900. </div>
  1901. <div>Poco has decided to equip every single model from the F7 series with a different silicon. The F7 Ultra features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the F7 Pro comes with the last-generation <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-fa354872-ddf5-40f0-96d3-5d5d2a2dac5f -->Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and now the vanilla Poco F7 completes the Snapdragon showdown with the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor.</p>
  1902. <p>Where does this chip stand in the Snapdragon ecosystem? This octa-core platform features 1&#215;3.21 GHz Cortex-X4 core, 3&#215;3.0 GHz Cortex-A720 cores and 2&#215;2.8 GHz Cortex-A720 and another pair of Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2&#215;2.0 GHz.</p>
  1903. <p>That&#8217;s a very different configuration in comparison to both the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the <span>Snapdragon 8 Gen 3</span>. The phone also comes with 12GB of RAM in every storage configuration. Let&#8217;s see how the silicon performs in our benchmarks.</p>
  1904. <h3>CPU Performance Benchmarks:</h3>
  1905. <p>Looking at the benchmark scores, we can see that the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 slots somewhere around the regular <span>Snapdragon 8 Gen 3</span>. </p>
  1906. <p>There&#8217;s still around a 5% difference in favor of the flagship Gen 3 silicon, but it&#8217;s not a big difference.</p>
  1907. </div>
  1908. <p></p>
  1909. <h3>GPU Performance</h3>
  1910. </p>
  1911. <div>The GPU scores paint a similar picture with the difference to the Gen 3 almost nonexistent. For what it&#8217;s worth, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 was able to sustain its performance a tad better than the Gen 3. When it comes to the cream of the crop, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it&#8217;s way ahead of both.</p>
  1912. <p>In terms of storage, there are two memory configurations, one with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, and a step-up with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. There&#8217;s no microSD card slot.</p>
  1913. </div>

  1917. <p>In terms of software, the Poco F7 comes pre-installed with <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-d8ae8b2d-4a2c-452f-aa13-f6c4005b0ed6 -->Android 15 with HyperOS 2 on top. There is some bloatware on board, but you can simply delete it and customize the UI to your liking—dynamic wallpapers, drawer or no drawer, layout changes, and so on.</p>
  1918. <p>When it comes to AI, which is all the rage nowadays, the Poco F7 features the same Xiaomi HyperAI as its bigger brothers, as well as the <span>Xiaomi 15</span> family.</div>
  1919. <div><!-- ImageTagInstance gallery-e155e7f0-9aea-4ce3-b98f-4b92505e42f6 --></p>
  1920. <p>The system has some useful AI features, such as AI Interpreter, AI Editor inside the gallery, AI search, AI speech recognition, and AI writing assists.</p>
  1921. <p>You can also use Gemini; it&#8217;s available and also the default system set for the long-press action on the power button.</p>
  1922. </div>
  1923. <p>The software update scenario is still far from the seven-year support that Google and Samsung provide. You get four major Android updates and six years of security patches with the Poco F7, which at this price point is pretty decent.</p>

  1935. <p>There&#8217;s a massive 6,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery on board of the Poco F7. Unsurprisingly, we expected an impressive result in our battery benchmarks. However, things didn&#8217;t pan out as expected.</p>
  1936. <p>There&#8217;s something fishy here, and it&#8217;s probably down to poor optimization of the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, as in real-life conditions, the phone is capable of doing two days on a single charge easily.</p>
  1937. <p>We&#8217;ll redo the tests, so for now there&#8217;s an asterisk near these scores.</p>

  1942. <div>In terms of charging, there&#8217;s good news and bad news. The good news is that the wired 90W charging is pretty fast and able to fill the hefty battery in about 40 minutes.</p>
  1943. <p>The bad news (you&#8217;ve guessed it) is that there&#8217;s no wireless charging on board.</p>

However, the high frequency is a bit harsh, and at maximum volume, it&#8217;s borderline unpleasant.The haptic feedback is tight and quite precise, but it&#8217;s not the strongest out there. There&#8217;s a slider for adjusting the level of the vibration, but even at the maximum setting, it feels a bit weak.</p>
  1949. <p>Finally, there&#8217;s no 3.5 mm headphone jack on this phone, so you have to rely on Bluetooth headphones if you want to use a pair.</p>

  1962. <div>The Poco F7 slots nicely in the F7 series lineup. It offers snappy and fast performance thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a gorgeous and very bright 6.83-inch screen, and a main camera that gets the job done.</p>
  1963. <p>On the other hand, some corners have been cut to achieve the starting price of $399 ($339 with an early bird deal). There&#8217;s no wireless charging on board, the ultrawide camera and overall video quality are lacking, and the battery life is unimpressive given the huge battery.</p>
  1964. <p>At the end of the day, the Poco F7 will have to go against phones such as the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-fd379be8-b0b5-4d4d-949e-f25939a07bed -->Pixel 9a and <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-fbde97dd-2118-4cc9-b70b-cbe711b30ce3 -->Galaxy A56, as well as its own kin in the face of the Poco F7 Pro and Poco F7 Ultra. It&#8217;s cheaper than all of the above and gets the basics right, so if you don&#8217;t mind the aforementioned cons, you can get a lot out of this guy.</p>

  2002. <div>Google is preparing to lift the curtain before its latest Pixel family – the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-1b511e96-2443-4ec8-bc4a-4246cb31c3bb -->Pixel 10 series. Along with all other non-foldable models, we expect the third generation of the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-19302e33-82ea-4f83-a14a-d4e84940e26a -->Pixel Fold, the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span>.</p>
  2003. <p>The name might be a little misleading, as Google rebranded the Fold last year and shuffled the Pro lineup to make room for the XL, but the really interesting comparison is the one with the original <span>Pixel Fold</span>.</p>
  2004. <p>In this article we will try to see how far the foldable Pixel has come in the past couple of years. This comparison is preliminary at this point, as the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> is still under wraps, but we have enough information to get started.</p>
  2005. <p>There are some exciting differences in all areas, including the main and cover displays, the processor inside and the camera system.</p>

  2064. <h5>Similar to last year</h5>
  2065. <div>When Google entered the foldable game, the company decided to go against the grain and offer a different design. The original <span>Pixel Fold</span> was wider and shorter than most of the foldables at the time, with a 5.8-inch cover screen and a squarish 7.6-inch inner display.The phone was comfortable to work with both folded and unfolded, but the weight of nearly 300 grams made handling for extended periods tiring.</p>
  2066. <p>The second generation changed things around and opted for a more Galaxy Fold-like aspect ratio and size, and we expect the same design to be present on the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span>.</p>
  2067. <p>According to the latest info, we&#8217;re expecting very similar dimensions to the previous generation, which, compared to the original <span>Pixel Fold</span>, would mean a narrower and taller device. </p>
  2068. <p>When it comes to weight, the new phone is expected to come in at around 257 grammes – substantially lighter than the first generation.</p>

  2090. <p>The building blocks of a modern smartphone haven&#8217;t changed in the past couple of years, and the same goes for the <span>Pixel Fold</span> and the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span>. Both phones use aluminum and glass for their construction.</p>
  2091. <p>The original <span>Pixel Fold</span> uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus over the cover screen, and we expect the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> to upgrade this protection to Gorilla Glass Victus 2. When it comes to IP ratings, the <span>Pixel Fold</span> launched with IPX8 protection. We expect the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> to upgrade that to a proper IP68 dust and water resistance.</p>

  2120. <p>Color-wise, the <span>Pixel Fold</span> is available in just two hues – Porcelain and Obsidian, Google&#8217;s take on the black and white colors. Latest leaks suggest that the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> might come in two exciting new colors in addition to the aforementioned Porcelain and Obsidian, and these are Sterling Grey and Green.</p>
  2121. <p><h2><span id="display" class="anchor">Display Differences</span></h2>
  2122. </p>
  2123. <div>The original <span>Pixel Fold</span> launched with a very interesting aspect ratio that mandated different screen sizes (compared to the Galaxy Fold, for example). The phone featured a 7.6-inch main screen and a 5.8-inch cover screen.</p>
  2124. <p>Google changed the approach with the next generation, and we expect this change to be present on the <span>Google <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span></span> as well. The main screen is believed to be an 8-inch OLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,700 nits. In comparison, the main screen of the <span>Pixel Fold</span> is rated at 1,450 nits only.</p>

  2146. <p>Regarding the cover screen, things are again different. Google is continuing with the 6.3-inch size from the last generation, and this time around it might be a tad brighter than its predecessor and also brighter than the cover screen of the original <span>Pixel Fold</span>. </p>
  2147. <p>We&#8217;re talking the same 2,700 nits of peak brightness as cited for the main display of the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span>. The cover screen of the original <span>Pixel Fold</span> was able to go up to 1,550 nits only. Both phones feature a 120 Hz display refresh rate across their main and cover screens.</p>
  2148. </div>
  2149. <h2><span id="performance" class="anchor">Performance and Software</span></h2>
  2150. <h5>Steady evolution</h5>
  2151. <div>The <span>Pixel Fold</span> was launched in a separate window from the other Pixel phones, which is one of the main reasons the phone has a Tensor G2 processor on board. It&#8217;s already two generations old, and by the time the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> hits the shelves, the <span>Pixel Fold</span>&#8216;s G2 silicon will be ancient.The aforementioned <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> will be an integral part of the <span>Pixel 10</span> series, meaning it will get the latest Tensor G5 chipset, built using 3nm technology. This chipset is already promising because Google has moved from its partnership with Samsung and won&#8217;t be using Exynos as a base architecture for its Tensor chips anymore.</p>
  2152. <p>However, don&#8217;t get your hopes too high. Latest rumors from industry insiders suggest that the Tensor G5 will have similar performance to its predecessor, the Tensor G4, the only difference being that it will now be manufactured by TSMC.</p>
  2153. <p>We will run those two against each other when the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> officially launches, but for early comparison purposes, the G2 managed 1483 and 3568 in Geekbench&#8217;s single- and multicore tests, respectively, while the Tensor G4 inside the last-gen model scored 1962 and 4405 in the same tests. We expect a small step forward for the G5 but nothing major.</p>
  2154. <p>In terms of RAM, the <span>Pixel Fold</span> has 12GB LPDDR5 on board, while the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> is expected to mimic the RAM of the previous generation; it will most likely come with 16GB of the same LPDDR5 RAM.</p>
  2155. </div>
  2156. <h2><span id="camera" class="anchor">Camera</span></h2>
  2157. <h5>Some improvements?</h5>
  2158. <p>The original <span>Pixel Fold</span> launched with a pretty potent camera system. It included three cameras on the back and two selfie cameras. The main camera uses a 48MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, coupled with a 10.8MP ultrawide camera, and the trio is completed by a 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom.</p>
  2159. <div>Google tweaked this system on the <!-- HTMLTagInstance html-tag-9a6f189a-bbea-435c-a274-6a57f20572fb -->Pixel 9 Pro Fold but not by much, and we expect very similar hardware on the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span>.</div>

  2192. <p>The <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> is rumored to get a similar camera system to its predecessor, including a 50MP primary camera with a Samsung GN8 sensor, a 10.5MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto with a 5X zoom. </p>
  2193. <p>This system looks similar on paper not only to the last generation but also to the one found on the original <span>Pixel Fold</span>, but Google&#8217;s software optimizations may result in higher image quality as post-processing algorithms and AI are all the rage nowadays in smartphone photography.</p>

  2196. <h2><span id="battery" class="anchor">Battery Life and Charging</span></h2>
  2197. <h5>Where&#8217;s my silicon-carbon?</h5>
  2198. <div>The original <span>Pixel Fold</span> launched with a pretty hefty battery (for a foldable). The two cells inside have a combined capacity of 4,821 mAh, which promises good battery life. Sadly, the Tensor G2 isn&#8217;t the most efficient silicon out there, and the phone was only able to score 5h 23m, which grants it 118th place for phones tested in the past 2 years in our battery benchmark.</p>
  2199. <p>Now, the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> is expected to feature a smaller 4,650 mAh battery, but the 3 nm Tensor G5 chipset might actually help the phone score better than its granddad. We have to test the phone when it launches, so stay tuned for that.</p>
  2200. <p>In terms of charging, we don&#8217;t expect any difference, sadly, despite the recent developments in fast charging coming from China. The original <span>Pixel Fold</span> supports 21W wired charging and is able to fill its battery from zero to full in 1 hour and 39 minutes. Don&#8217;t hold your breath for faster charging on the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span>.</p>

  2253. <div>Even at this early stage it&#8217;s plain to see that the <span>Google <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span></span> will be the better phone compared to its granddad, the original <span>Pixel Fold</span>. There are little to no reasons to opt for the older mode, apart from nostalgia for the unique form factor.</p>
  2254. <p>We expect the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> to be faster, brighter and more capable at photography. It will also be supported much longer thanks to the seven years of major OS updates Google is offering on its flagships.</p>
  2255. <p>So, if you want to get a taste of the foldable smartphone menu and lean toward Google&#8217;s offerings, the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> is the better choice. The same goes for all of you that want to upgrade from a <span>Pixel Fold</span> or other older foldable.</p>
  2256. <p>We will update the comparison with some hard numbers, benchmarks and samples once the <span>Pixel 10 Pro Fold</span> is official.</p>
