The Flip 2 is pretty powerful, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite that's found on the Galaxy S25 series. It also boasts a battery that Samsung probably won't include in its traditional flagships, let alone foldables, for quite a while: 5165 mAh. Furthermore, it even has 50W of wireless charging (and 67W wired), while theis expected to have 25W of wired charging.As seen in the images above, the crease on the Flip 2 is also very shallow. Considering how that's been my biggest pet peeve against foldable smartphones, this phone appeals to me more than most of its competition.Xiaomi has continued the design of the first Mix Flip, particularly the cameras on the exterior display. Samsung is adopting this same design, and getting rid of the large camera cutout on the. That design will now be used for theFE instead.The Mix Flip 2 will give thea run for its money. With the new design, theis basically as good as it gets for a Samsung clamshell foldable. Flip 7 display upgrades show that Samsung is willing to put in the effort, but the battery capacity and charging speeds still disappoint.For consumers who want the latest and greatest, the Snapdragon 8 Elite on the Mix Flip 2 is definitely more powerful than the Exynos 2500 on the. The battery life and charging speeds aren't even a competition.However, thewill almost assuredly have much longer software support, and some users swear by One UI. So in the end, though both are some of the best foldables of 2025, it all comes down to user preference. Let's hope that the global launch of the Mix Flip 2 isn't too far off.

New Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 renders show off Samsung's much thinner side profile
Flip 7 Fold 7 Flip 7 Fold 7 Yes, the Fold 7 looks brilliant! No, it's still a dated phone It's good, but needs to be even better Fold 7 Leaked renders of the Flip 7 and Fold 7 . | Image credit — Evan Blass Slim, yet powerful Fold 7 Receive the latest Samsung news Subscribe By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy Galaxy Z Fold 6 Just what the foldable industry needed Fold 7 Fold 7 Flip 7 Flip 7 Fold 7 Yeah, 8.9 mm. Compared to the 12.1 mm of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 , it almost feels like Samsung has skipped a generation or Samsung hasn't sacrificed performance to achieve this slim form. Under the hood, thewill be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the same processor that's found in the entire Galaxy S25 is promising its most advanced foldable smartphone yet, and rumors claim that the main display's crease is vastly improved over the. The battery — said to be the same 4,400 mAh as the Fold 6 — and the charging speeds are a bit of a letdown, foldable industry has been in a bit of a downward spiral, despite some excellent phones like the Oppo Find N5, the Honor Magic V5, and the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 . Samsung is one of the few manufacturers that can afford to continue investing in foldables, and I'm glad it's doing really good, and may just be what the foldable industry needed. Samsung's upcoming G Fold tri-foldable smartphone will further bring innovation to the market, and give the Huawei Mate XT some competition as well. And, of course, if the foldable iPhone comes out next year, that's likely to get some people's Honor Magic V5 is the slimmest foldable ever, as of now. However, if you value long-term software support, or are just a fan of Samsung's One UI, then theis the phone for you.

Samsung's next smart alert might change how you track packages
Samsung may be planning to expand its Now Brief feature with new delivery-related alerts. According to an APK teardown of the Samsung Messages app (version 16.1.10.7), there are signs that the app could soon notify users when they receive messages about package deliveries. Now Brief first appeared with One UI 7 and has slowly gained more functions. Just recently, it was reported that Samsung is working on adding alerts for parking locations, smart home updates, and battery warnings for connected wearables. Now, delivery message notifications could be the next feature in line. The latest findings come from strings of code found inside the Samsung Messages app. One line reads, "You got webp%2$d messages today about a delivery%3$s," while another references, "%d unread messages, including 1 package delivery message." These messages suggest that Now Brief will not only surface package-related updates but also count how many such messages were received that day. This could be helpful for people who want to stay on top of deliveries without constantly checking their apps or emails. Whether it's a new gadget or a personal order, being alerted directly through Now Brief could make the process more convenient. Shortcut to Now Brief on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge home screen . | Image credit — PhoneArena However, it's worth noting that these findings are based on an APK teardown, which looks at unreleased code hidden inside an app. These features are often experimental and may never make it to a public release. This possible update also comes after Samsung previously said its Messages app would eventually be shut down. Despite that, new features continue to show up. Some of the other features being worked on include birthday reminders, live location sharing, emoji and sticker reactions, and alerts from the Now Bar about suspicious or blocked messages. If Samsung moves forward with these updates, Now Brief could become a more useful daily tool. It has already shifted from just showing calendar and weather info to offering a wider range of smart alerts. We'll have to wait and see whether delivery alerts will be included in a future update. But the continued development around Now Brief and the Messages app suggests Samsung is still looking for ways to improve its software experience, even if some of these tools stay behind the scenes for now.

Will you notice this rumored big change coming to the rear panel of the M5 iPad Pro?
The 2024 M4-powered iPad Pro. | image credit-PhoneArena While many are thinking that it might be too late for Apple to release the M5-powered iPad Pro this year, the tech giant's next top-of-the-line tablet could still be released in 2025. A report out of Korea says that mass production of the tablet's OLED panels by Samsung and LG has started. The device could end up being unveiled in October or November and released in time for the 2025 holiday shopping season. Last year, Samsung supplied Apple with the OLED displays for the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro while fellow South Korean company LG produced the 13-inch OLED panel for the 2024 iPad Pro. This year, reports suggest that both LG and Samsung will each deliver 11-inch and 13-inch displays used on the iPad Pro (2025) models. Last year's iPad Pro (2024) tablets were the first from Apple to replace the LCD panels with OLED. OLED displays offer users a screen with better contrast, darker blacks, and wider viewing angles. Because OLED pixels generate their own light, no backlight is needed for OLED displays. Thus, such screens are thinner and are more flexible than LCD displays. Devices using an OLED panel can save battery life by going into Dark mode. That's because creating the color black on OLED is a matter of turning off a pixel and pixels that are turned off do not need to draw power from the battery. Apple is expected to convert the display on the iPad mini to OLED next year and do the same with the iPad Air in 2027. On the new M5 iPad Pro holding the tablet in portrait, as the M4 model is here, will turn the Apple logo on its side. | Image credit-PhoneArena The biggest change to the M5 iPad Pro tablets will be the use of the M5 processor. The latter will be manufactured by TSMC using its 3nm process node. Besides using the most advanced SoC in Apple's lineup, there is another huge change in store for the upcoming iPad Pro. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said that the Apple logo on the back of the tablet will now be in landscape orientation as opposed to the previous portrait orientation. Those who prefer to hold their iPad Pro in landscape mode might feel better knowing that the iconic Apple logo on the back of their tablets will match perfectly with how they are holding their premium iPads.
