7 years of Galaxy Fold: Samsung's foldable journey and what comes next
Samsung is set to host its next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, where it will unveil the next generation of its foldable smartphones, including the anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7. The company was the first smartphone brand in India to launch a consumer-ready foldable device back in 2019. While the original model didn't carry the 'Galaxy Z' moniker, it laid the foundation for what would become the Galaxy Z Fold series. Over the years, Samsung has made significant advancements in foldable smartphone technology. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 on the horizon, here's a look back at the evolution of Samsung's foldables and what we can expect next. Samsung Galaxy Fold Launch: 2019 Thickness when folded: 15.7-17.1mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.9-7.6mm Weight: 276g Launched in 2019, the Galaxy Fold was the world's first mainstream foldable smartphone, offering a large-screen experience when unfolded and a compact footprint when folded. Its key innovation was the inward-folding hinge mechanism that protected the main display. It featured a 7.3-inch QXGA+ AMOLED folding screen and a 4.6-inch HD+ AMOLED cover display. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Launch: 2020 Thickness when folded: 13.8-16.8mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.0-6.9mm Weight: 282g The Fold 2 was the first foldable under the 'Galaxy Z' branding. It introduced a Hideaway Hinge using optical fibers to enhance stability while narrowing the gap between folded halves. It also enabled Flex Mode, allowing the device to stay open at various angles for hands-free use. The main display grew to 7.6 inches, and the cover screen became more practical at 6.23 inches. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Launch: 2021 Thickness when folded: 14.4-16.0mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.4mm Weight: 271g With the Fold 3, Samsung made a leap in durability. It became the first foldable with an IPX8 water-resistance rating and introduced Samsung's Armor Aluminum frame. Rubber seals and corrosion-resistant components in the hinge added protection against dust and moisture. It also brought S Pen support to the foldable form factor. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Launch: 2022 Thickness when folded: 14.2-15.8mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.3mm Weight: 263g The Fold 4 reduced both weight and thickness by switching from a rotary to a linear interlocking gear hinge design. It weighed nearly 20g less than the Fold 2. The biggest upgrade was in the camera department, with the introduction of a 50MP primary sensor, replacing the older 12MP camera setup. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Launch: 2023 Thickness when folded: 13.4mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.1mm Weight: 253g In 2023, the Fold 5 adopted a Flex Hinge, allowing the inner screen to fold in a water-drop shape. This eliminated the gap when folded and significantly reduced visible creases. The new hinge design also helped make the device slimmer and more durable. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Launch: 2024 Thickness when folded: 12.1mm Thickness when unfolded: 5.6mm Weight: 239g While retaining much of the Fold 5's aesthetic, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 added minor design refinements like flatter side rails and a boxier look. It introduced AI-powered features such as Sketch to Image, designed specifically to leverage the larger foldable display. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold: What comes next Set to launch on July 9, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be the slimmest and lightest foldable from Samsung yet, with an expected unfolded thickness of 3.9mm to 4.5mm and a weight of around 215g – about 24g lighter than the Fold 6. Reports also indicate that the cover screen could grow to 6.5 inches, up from 6.3 inches, and adopt a more traditional aspect ratio. The inner display may expand to 8.2 inches, providing an even more immersive experience. Additionally, Samsung's teasers have hinted at the possibility of a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra, a premium variant that could feature enhanced materials and further performance improvements.

Say goodbye to basic SMS: Here's how to get smarter texts with RCS on Android
Texting has changed a lot over the years. What started as simple SMS is now a world of group chats, GIFs, and high-res photos. If you have an Android phone, you might not realise your default messaging app has quietly levelled up too. The reason is RCS, or Rich Communication Services, which is slowly replacing old-school SMS and MMS with a much richer experience. Think of RCS as texting on steroids. Instead of just sending basic texts, you get features like read receipts, typing indicators, and the ability to send crisp photos and videos without worrying about file size. It all works over Wi-Fi or mobile data, so you are not limited by your mobile network's old restrictions. It feels a lot like WhatsApp or iMessage, but you don't need to download a separate app if you're using Google Messages or Samsung Messages. The best part is, you don't have to do anything fancy to get started. As long as your carrier supports RCS and your phone isn't ancient, you're just a few taps away from a much better texting life. First things first, make sure your messaging app is up to date. Most Android phones now come with Google Messages as the default, while Samsung users might see Samsung Messages. Either way, head to the Play Store and check for updates. Pop your SIM card in, and if you use two SIMs, pick which one you want to use for texting. Open Google Messages, tap your profile photo in the top-right, and go into 'Message settings.' There, you'll find 'RCS chats.' Just flip the toggle to turn it on. If the app asks you to verify your number, follow the prompts. Sometimes it takes a minute or two for everything to connect, but once it's done, you'll see a status that says 'Connected.' With RCS switched on, you can tweak things like read receipts and typing indicators to suit your style. If you're texting someone who also has RCS, you'll notice the difference straight away - messages send faster, you can share bigger files, and you even get to react to messages or see when someone is typing. Google Messages keeps adding new features, like sending stickers, voice notes, and even using the app on your computer. If you ever need to switch phones or SIM cards, just remember to turn off RCS in the settings so your messages don't get stuck in limbo. RCS depends on your carrier and the person you're texting also having it switched on. If not, your messages will just go out as regular SMS or MMS, so don't worry if you see things switch back sometimes. Switching from SMS to RCS is bound to make your daily chats smoother, smarter, and a lot more fun. If you haven't tried it yet, now's a good time to flick that switch and see what you've been missing.
