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.

Samsung gives Galaxy owners an impressive amount of control over their phones. Features like Good Lock let users customize just about every aspect of their smartphones. But somehow, the company forgot to put a simple alaxy owners an almost ridiculous amount of control over their phones. Somehow, simply adding a fingerprint lock for apps.

With the One UI 9.5 update, this might finally change. Tipster Fahad Ali Javed has uncovered a native App Lock feature inside an unreleased One UI 9.5 build running on a Galaxy S26. So you would be able to secure individual apps directly from the app drawer without moving them somewhere else first. This could be one of One UI 9.5's simplest and most useful additions.

The iPhone X is obsolete now, and so is that aging MacBook Pro
Relax! only the 2018 MacBook Pro is obsolete
iPhone X

The iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro have officially joined Apple's obsolete products list, marking the end of official hardware service for two devices that once represented the company's future.

Apple updated its support listings to move both products from its vintage category to the obsolete category. That distinction matters because once a device becomes obsolete, Apple discontinues hardware service for it, while authorized service providers can no longer order parts through Apple.

I tried the Pixel 11 Pros, and one tiny light left me wanting more
Google Pixel 11 Pro Matte Obsidian Rear

Google already made some pretty phones, and the new Pixel 11 Pro series just got even better-looking. Recent Pixel Pro models have been among the most premium Android phones I've spent time with, and a few minutes with the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL told me Google is refining the formula even further.

The Pixel 11 was a surprisingly compelling base flagship, and the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL continue the strong first impressions. The phones are lighter, the camera visor is slimmer, the screens are brighter, and the smaller Pro finally gets faster Pixelsnap charging. Google also throws in HiLight and a refreshing new way to experience its camera software.
