We finally know what the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will look like, and it’s hard not to be enamored with its Gameboy SP vibes. The Z Flip 7 will have a 3.6-inch cover display that opens to a 6.8-inch internal display, making it officially larger than its predecessor. It’s a welcome bump in size, although the Z Flip 7 is still smaller than other flip phones on the market.

The images come from an official CAD render leak for the Z Flip 7, first obtained by Android Headlines. While these leaks don’t confirm the device’s internal specs, they do make it easier to make educated guesses based on what we see.

Let’s start with the cameras. Dual cameras grace the cover, while a punch hole camera sits at the top-center of the interior.  The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will most likely use the same configuration as the Flip 6, with a 50MP primary camera and a 12MP ultra wide. It’s possible that Samsung will upgrade the sensors, even if the resolution remains the same — but not even the flagship Galaxy S25 saw significant camera upgrades, so it’s best not to hold your breath.

EXCLUSIVE BREAKING LEAK: Samsung's GALAXY Z Flip 7 LEAKED Design REVEALED!

The internal screen crease looks less prominent, although that could also be due to the quality of the render. When fully open, the crease seems all but invisible, the hinge the only indication of its location. That lines up with other leaks, although the tipsters (like PandaFlash X) say the crease isn’t gone, just significantly diminished. They also suggest it will come with a more durable hinge — a step in the right direction for Samsung, whose hinges have proven to be a weak point on the phones.

Rumors have ping-ponged between a Qualcomm and Exynos chip for the internals, although the consensus in more recent leaks points towards the Exynos 2500 SoC. That’s not confirmed, however, so don’t take it as fact until Samsung reveals the specs.

We expect to see the phone arrive with 12GB of RAM and a choice between 256 and 512GB of storage, as well as a slate of Galaxy AI features. As for price, the Z Flip 7 will most likely hold firm with a starting price around $1,100.

You can expect to see the Z Flip 7 — and the Z Fold 7 — hit shelves sometime in July or August, with more information emerging as the launch date nears.

Google Chrome is working on new feature which lets you open PDF files in your preferred app
Chrome might finally mind its own business after you download a file
Google Chrome

Google is testing a small but useful change to Chrome for Android that could make downloading files less frustrating. Instead of automatically opening files such as PDFs in Chrome, the browser could soon send them directly to the app you have chosen to handle that file type.

The feature is currently being tested through a Chrome Canary flag called “Open downloads in preferred app.” According to PiunikaWeb, the flag allows downloaded items to open in the user's preferred application for that particular file type.

The $1,500 flagship might be closer than you think
Flip phones already broke the $1,500 mark this year, and slab flagships aren't far behind.
iPhone 17 Pro and Google Pixel 10 Pro.

In July, a Google executive broke the silence on the ongoing memory crisis, highlighting a more than fourfold increase in RAM prices between 2025 and 2026, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The prices have gone up from $2.80 in 2025 to roughly $12 in 2026, as mentioned in the same report. Run the math for a 16GB memory package, and the cost to the company has apparently gone up from $45 to $192.

That's not a rounding error; it's the floor moving under the entire industry's feet. Google is not alone in speaking about the ongoing memory crisis. We've also seen Nothing's CEO speak about it, and other brands like Motorola, OnePlus, and Xiaomi make price adjustments across their lineup.

I’ve used the Pixel 10 Pro a year. I hope Google fixes these nagging issues on the Pixel 11 Pro
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

I’ve been using the Google Pixel 10 Pro for almost a year now, which means I’ve had plenty of time to figure out what I love about it and, more importantly, what still gets on my nerves. And with the Pixel 11 Pro launching on August 12, just three days from now, my wishlist for Google has gotten pretty long. There’s a lot the Pixel already gets right. The software is still one of my favorite Android experiences, performance is generally solid, and Google’s Gemini features have become genuinely useful in ways I didn’t expect. Those are all big reasons I’ve stuck with Pixel phones for as long as I have.

But spend enough time with any phone and the little annoyances stop feeling so little. Over the past year, I’ve run into a handful of recurring Pixel problems that I really don’t want to carry over to another generation. Some have frustrated me for months, while others have made me question whether I can completely rely on my Pixel when I need it most. So, with the Pixel 11 Pro almost here, I have a few things I desperately want Google to get right this time.
