Now that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is all but confirmed, would you be interested in a more affordable foldable from Samsung?
Maybe – depends on how it compares to the Razr (2025)
No – I'd rather go for the full Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Fold
I prefer Motorola's foldables anyway
Not interested in foldables, even at a lower price

Samsung's July Unpacked event is just around the corner, and the spotlight is expected to shine on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 . But now it looks like there could be a third foldable crashing the party. A new case listing leak suggests that the long-rumoredFE is very real—and it's likely debuting alongside the flagship models.As spotted by Android Central, popular accessory brand Spigen briefly listed cases for both theand a mysterious 'FE.' The listings were pulled shortly after, but not before confirming something key: Samsung's budget foldable will indeed carry the '7' branding, rather than launching as just a generic Flip FE.That's notable because last year's Galaxy Z Fold FE launched without a number, creating some confusion over Samsung's naming strategy. This leak suggests Samsung wants the FE edition to feel like a proper member of the current generation—even if it cuts a few corners to hit a lower price.While Samsung hasn't officially acknowledged the Flip FE, leaks and rumors give us a pretty solid idea of what to expect. According to CAD renders and early specs, theFE will look nearly identical to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a 6.7-inch main screen and a 3.4-inch cover display. But the changes will be under the hood.The FE model is rumored to use an Exynos 2400e chip, instead of a Snapdragon flagship processor. It may come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and the display is expected to offer FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.If you're wondering about the price, local reports suggest it could cost around ₩1 million in South Korea, which would make it roughly 30% cheaper than theWith this leak, the chances are high that theFE will be announced at Unpacked alongside theand. That would mark a big shift in Samsung's strategy — bringing a more affordable foldable to market at launch instead of months later.It's a move that makes sense when you consider how competition is heating up. The newly launched Nothing Phone (3) is bringing some serious design flair and flagship power at a lower price point. For Samsung, a cheaper foldable could be the way to maintain its edge without asking users to pay $1,000+ just to try a foldable form factor.Looking for more on Samsung's foldables?

Tecno Camon 40 Premier review
The Tecno Camon 40 Premier sits atop the Camon series, offering premium-like features at an affordable price. Last year's Camon 30 Premier turned out to be an excellent phone, so we have high hopes for the Camon 40 Premier as well. The new Premier comes with an updated chipset, now Dimensity 8350, a display with a higher refresh rate, a nicer build with higher ingress protection and a slightly updated battery. Moreover, the Camon 40 Premier is now promised to receive three major OS upgrades, as opposed to just two last year. Tecno Camon 40 Premier specs at a glance: Body: 161.0x75.0x7.7mm, 210g; plastic back, plastic frame; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 2m for 30 min). 161.0x75.0x7.7mm, 210g; plastic back, plastic frame; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 2m for 30 min).

The newly updated hardware will go nicely with the true and tested one that's borrowed from the Camon 30 Premier. We get the same 50MP triple-camera setup, featuring a 3x optical zoom, and the 50MP selfie unit with autofocus. We don't expect any major changes in image quality, which is fine - the Camon 30 Premier already punched above its weight class in this respect. Even though the Camon 40 Premier shapes up to be an excellent midranger, its limited availability might hurt sales. The Camon 40 series was announced in February during MWC 2025, and we are now well into 2025, yet the phones are still only offered in a handful of markets. In any case, a full review is due, so let's see how the Camon 40 Premier stacks against some of its competitors. Unboxing the Tecno Camon 40 Premier The handset comes in a standard retail box containing the usual user manuals along with a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer and a compatible 70W charging brick. There is also a protective case that has a design that is very similar to the phone's own design, so it doesn't conceal Tecno's efforts in that direction. Page 2

A budget Samsung Galaxy foldable is definitely happening this year
Samsung fans are preparing for the Galaxy Unpacked event that will be held on the 9th of this month. But, besides the long-awaited Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, there is now almost no doubt that a budget foldable called the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is also coming. Accessory maker Spigen accidentally listed cases for the Flip 7 FE, promptly removing them soon after. The listings were noticed by Android Central, which managed to get screenshots of the Google results before the pages disappeared. This basically confirms that the FE is happening this year, likely slated to be unveiled alongside the Flip 7 and Fold 7 in a few days from now. The inclusion of the number in the name also suggests that it's going to become a yearly tradition, and isn't just a one-off. Leaked Flip 7 renders — which also included the FE — show that the Flip series is ditching the camera cutout in favor of more screen real estate. However, the FE will resemble the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The FE series may just become a repackaged older Galaxy clamshell with a better chip inside. Google results showed Spigen's Flip 7 FE case listing. | Image credit — Android Central If previous reports are to be believed, the Flip 7 FE will cost around $736, if U.S. tariffs don't end up inflating the price Stateside. The phone will also be powered by Samsung's own 3 nm Exynos 2500 chip, which will also be present in the standard Flip 7 . After failing to get it ready on time for the Galaxy S25 series, it's time for Samsung to show the world what Exynos can do. For those who want the best of the best, the Fold 7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Furthermore, Samsung has reportedly improved the crease, and also made so many other technical improvements that the Fold 7 makes the Fold 6 look ancient. The Flip 7 itself, though sharing the same chip as the FE, will have bigger displays and better cameras. If you can stretch your budget by $100, the recently released Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is also an excellent alternative to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. It's got a bigger battery as well as a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. However, if you can't live without Samsung's One UI, or just really need the seven years of updates, then the Flip 7 FE is the correct choice. One of the reasons that the foldable industry has been in a decline is the fact that foldable smartphones are just too expensive. I'm glad that Samsung has realized that, and is taking steps to provide alternatives that are easier on the wallet, but no less exciting. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Brace yourselves for a major Galaxy S26 Ultra battery disappointment... and a possible silver lining
Mere hours after discussing a pretty encouraging rumor regarding the potential battery technology upgrades of next year's Galaxy S26 family, we find ourselves in the delicate position of analyzing an even newer report suggesting Samsung's next big thing will not in fact enlarge its predecessor's cell size. Of course, no matter how you look at the information leaked by the usually very reliable folks over at GalaxyClub in the Netherlands (translated here), it's hard not to be disappointed and wonder what Samsung is thinking leaving its best phone without a key improvement for the sixth (!!!) consecutive year. Yes, ladies and gents, I'm afraid there's a very good chance that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will keep the S20 Ultra's 5,000mAh battery capacity completely unchanged. That's not a typo, mind you, as the Galaxy S20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra, and S25 Ultra all settled for the exact same battery size between 2020 and 2025. Was the Galaxy S20 Ultra ahead of its time or is Samsung lagging behind the competition now? Or both? | Image Credit -- PhoneArena In contrast, today's OnePlus 13 packs a 6,000mAh cell, something like the Oppo Find X8 Ultra takes that number up to 6,100mAh, and Motorola's mid-range Moto G86 Power somehow manages to squeeze a 6,720mAh ticker into a sub-9mm body weighing less than 200 grams. And these are just some of the battery life champions available right now, with many more (like the 7,000mAh OnePlus 15) expected to come out before the Galaxy S26 Ultra does. Granted, Samsung could still employ various new and old hardware and software tricks to try to maximize this bad boy's endurance between charges, but even if those efforts will miraculously succeed, it's obviously unlikely that the S26 Ultra will be able to keep up with next year's best Android phones in this very important department. If you've been closely following the latest mobile industry trends, you probably won't be shocked to hear that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could well reduce its predecessor's thickness as a direct consequence of the unchanged battery capacity. That's because the 5,000mAh cell inside Samsung's next super-flagship might actually be physically smaller than the 5,000mAh battery under the S25 Ultra's hood, at least based on a social media leaker's hunch. While this is pure speculation (for the time being), there's definitely a possibility that the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge will inspire not just a Galaxy S26 Edge model, but a Galaxy S26 Ultra with a slimmer profile as well. If we're being totally honest, the S25 Ultra is a bit chunky. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Is a thinner handset a good thing and a notable upgrade? Absolutely. But not if that change happens to the detriment of a much-needed battery capacity enhancement. Clearly, this is the wrong decision on Samsung's part... if it's true, although for what it's worth, @UniverseIce, aka Ice Universe, aka PhoneArt also believes the S26 Ultra could "substantially improve" the S25 Ultra's rather disappointing (by flagship standards) 45W charging speeds. On a totally unrelated note, GalaxyClub expects the S26 Ultra to come with a 200MP primary rear-facing camera, and while nothing is etched in stone yet, that may well be the exact same sensor used on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Sounds like another reason not to get too excited about Samsung's 2026 crown jewel, although it's obviously far too early to draw pessimistic conclusions regarding the box-office prospects of the Galaxy S26 Ultra in particular or the S26 series in general.
