The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is going to look slightly different from the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. The final design for the upcoming foldable flip phone shows the outer display getting an upgrade that will get rid of the black folder frame.

According to a report from Android Headlines, images of the Z Flip 7’s design show that the next installment in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series will do away with the quirky black folder frame present on the Z Flip 6. While the pictures don’t confirm the phone’s internal specs, which we have yet to see, it does confirm that the Z Flip 7 will have a bigger outer display will be bigger than that of its predecessor. With the screen being that big, you could get more things done on it, like watching TikTok videos and texting your friends, without the need to flip your phone open so frequently.

This update comes one week after our first look at the Z Flip 7, where we noted that the outer display will be 3.6 inches, which is the same size as the outer display on the Motorola Razr Plus 2024, which released last summer. It’s also 0.2 inches bigger than the outer display of the Z Flip 6, which is 3.4 inches thanks to the quirky black folder frame.

Aside from the allure of scrolling on the outside more than the inside, the Z Flip 7 having a larger outer screen means the screen will surround the rear cameras just as it does on Motorola’s premium flip phone. The rear cameras may still take the 50 MP main camera and 12 MP ultrawide camera from the Z Flip 6, but the bigger screen may make the Z Flip 7 an attractive upgrade.

The United States has sealed a massive time capsule to mark its 250th anniversary, and among the dozens of artifacts chosen to represent modern America is one item almost everyone today would recognize: an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The stainless steel capsule, weighing roughly 900 pounds (about 400kg), was buried in Philadelphia as part of the country's semiquincentennial celebrations. It is scheduled to remain sealed for the next 250 years, with plans to open it in 2276 during America's 500th anniversary celebrations.

Apple’s foldable iPhone may arrive this fall, but good luck getting your hands on one
Apple’s foldable iPhone hype may run straight into a launch shortage

Apple’s first foldable iPhone may have a repeat of the iPhone X moment this fall. A new report from industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the rumored iPhone Ultra (foldable iPhone) could be announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but preorders and sales may arrive later because early production is expected to be extremely limited.

Kuo says Apple may build around 7 million to 8 million foldable iPhones in the second half of 2026. The problem is timing. Only 0.5 million to 1 million units are expected to be ready in the third quarter, which is when Apple usually prepares for its September iPhone launch. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, by comparison, are expected to have around 20 million to 22 million units ready in the same period.

Apple is expected to launch three new iPhones this fall, including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the rumored foldable iPhone Ultra. The iPhone 18 Pro Max was recently tipped to get a major battery boost, with one leak claiming a 5,235mAh battery for the physical SIM model and a 5,425mAh battery for the eSIM-only version.

Now, China’s 3C certification database (via Digital Chat Station) appears to show the actual battery capacities for both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Interestingly, the Pro Max numbers listed there are even larger than the earlier leak suggested.
