Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch Unpacked teaser
Samsung

Mark your calendars, it’s official! After many leaks and rumors, Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will launch on July 9, 2025, in New York City. That’s just 16 days away, and I can’t wait! It’s unclear when the phones will go on sale, but past releases suggest that pre-orders will launch straight away, and the phones will go on sale roughly 10-14 days later.

I’ve already written about the two new features that are exciting me the most — spoiler: the Ultra experience and the superthin body — and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is shaping up to be one of the best folding phones to date. It’s expected to be over three millimeters thinner than previous generations of the Galaxy Z Fold as Samsung finally enters the ultra-thin foldable era and competes with the Oppo Find N5 and Honor Magic V5.

Then there’s the Ultra experience, which is expected to bring the biggest main display on a book-style folding phone to date. Not content with just that, Samsung is also likely to include the 200MP primary camera used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, marking the beginning of a trend where many of the best smartphone camera features finally make their way to folding phones.

In many ways, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to fix the key issues highlighted in the previous generations and will be the biggest update to the Fold range since the first Galaxy Fold. The resulting phone will be Samsung’s best foldable to date. It won’t just be the Fold, with Samsung bringing many of the same features and benefits to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 to compete with the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra

Based on rumors and an educated guess, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and storage options ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to feature the same processor, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and storage options ranging from 128 GB to 512 GB. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 should still support an S-Pen on the main screen like it does now, but it’ll be surprising if Samsung follows Oppo by enabling stylus input on both displays.

There’s a lot to be excited about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, and I can’t wait to see what Samsung shows off on July 9. I’m already ready to pre-order, and if you’re the same, you should take advantage of Samsung’s pre-reservation to save on your pre-order. 

Head over to Samsung, enter your email address, and if you choose to buy a Galaxy Z Fold 7 or Flip 7 once they’re announced, you’ll save $50! There’s no obligation to buy, and nothing to pay until you choose to pre-order, but it’s a great way to snag a free case or other accessory. 

Are you excited about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7?

Vibecoded apps are flooding Apple’s App Store, and users are getting sick of them
App Store submissions have doubled this year as AI tools make it easier than ever to build an app, but downloads haven't kept pace, and for good reason.

Apple's App Store is in the middle of its steepest submission surge in years. Developers submitted nearly 600,000 new apps last year, marking a 30 percent jump over the previous year. That number has already doubled to roughly 560,000 new apps in just the first six months of this year, according to estimates from analytics firm Sensor Tower cited by the New York Times. The reason behind the spike is vibecoding, which allows people with no prior development experience to create new apps using AI tools.

A familiar boom, with a twist

Google Photos adds a quick toggle between AI and classic search
Classic search is finally easier to reach for people who enabled Ask Photos
Google's Ask Photos debut.

Google Photos is giving users an easier way to leave its Gemini-powered search when a simple keyword would do. A new toggle now sits at the top of the results page, letting users switch between Ask Photos and classic search without digging through settings.

The change appears to address feedback from people who opted into Ask Photos but wanted a quicker way to return to classic search when Gemini was slower or less useful for a straightforward query.

Snapseed Camera now lets Android users save original photos and add geotags
Google updates Snapseed Camera with geotag support and non-destructive photo editing
Snapseed App

Google appears to be quietly turning Snapseed into something more than just a photo editing app. Over the past few weeks, the company has been steadily adding new capabilities to Snapseed Camera, its standalone camera app for Android. The latest update introduces two practical features that many smartphone users have come to expect from modern camera apps: the ability to save an untouched copy of every image for future editing and support for embedding location data directly into photos.

Neither feature is flashy, but together they make Snapseed Camera a more capable photography tool, particularly for users who like experimenting with filters without permanently altering their original shots. According to a report by 9to5Google, the features are rolling out with Snapseed Camera version 4.1.1.x on Android.
