Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

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.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra

Android 17 rolled out to Pixel phones last month, and if you were hoping your non-Pixel Android phone would catch up anytime soon, you might have to wait. Samsung is still running the One UI 9 in Public beta, and most other manufacturers haven't even announced when their skins will get the Android 17 treatment. 

So it's a genuine surprise that Xiaomi, of all companies, just jumped the queue. Xiaomi has started rolling out HyperOS 3 updates based on stable Android 17, and it's currently limited to the Xiaomi 17 series.

A promo picture of Apple Intelligence.

Apple Intelligence has finally found a way through China’s regulatory maze--and all it took was nearly two years after it brought the AI suite to iPhone users elsewhere. China’s Cyberspace Administration has registered Apple Intelligence for use on iPhones in the country, clearing the main regulatory hurdle preventing its release. The approval creates a path for Apple to deploy its generative AI tools on Chinese devices. Now, the only wait is for regulators and Apple to provide a launch date.
