Five years after launching its first smartphone with support for ultra wideband, Samsung has brought the feature to the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Unfortunately, it is available only on the version sold in Korea.

In his latest newsletter, Bloomberg's chief Apple analyst focuses on the ever-impending first foldable iPhone, which is expected to finally launch next year following many delays.

Samsung hails the Galaxy Z Fold7 as its most advanced flexible-display device to date.

iOS 26 is fast becoming one of the most controversial upcoming software update for iPhones in history already.

One of Apple's most innovative and up-to-date UI features might be exclusive to that build.

While Samsung is expected to deliver its first tri-foldable in some capacity this year, a recognised leaker has already turned their attention to Huawei's next-generation alternative.

Samsung's newest patent suggests its upcoming tri-folding smartphone could be called the Galaxy Z Trifold. Earlier rumours suggested it would launch as the Galaxy G Fold.

Following its debut a few days ago, the first hands-on CPU benchmarks for the Exynos 2500-powered Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 have now emerged. The chipset disappoints, unfortunately, showcasing performance only on par with last-gen chipsets like the Dimensity 9300 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 compatible with the S Pen or not? Even a day before the big Galaxy Unpacked event, there are doubts.
