Samsung's next-gen flagship Android tablet will have at least as much screen-on time as its last, and take no more time to re-charge, according to a new report. That is as good as the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra's specs get in this regard, though, as they are apparently now set in stone having been certified by an independent safety regulator.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 gains a slimmer case, lighter Armor Flex hinge, and Gorilla Glass upgrades, but JerryRigEverything’s testing confirms the inner display still scratches at level 2 and suffers from burn-in.
