Oppo uses record-breaking UEFA Champions League final to flex AI and camera muscle

The Official Smartphone Partner, as Oppo is called in this relationship, had demo booths for AI selfies and held a charity football game with football legends Kaka, Cafu, and Micah Richards.

The company also flexed the camera muscle of its Oppo Find X8 Pro at the final. Yes, the Find X8 Ultra is the series' flagship, but only the Pro is available in Europe, so understandably, Oppo focused on the Dimensity 9400-powered device instead.
There was also a big focus on the Oppo AI features. The company set up multiple booths and experience zones where fans could take AI-powered photos with Kaka and Yamine Lamal, both company brand ambassadors. Some fans were also in for a treat, with a surprise appearance from Marco Materazzi, Inter legend and Champions League winner in 2010.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE in for review
This is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. It's on sale (ours shipped a few days earlier than the projected July 25th date), starting from €999, and you have a choice of Black and White. The Flip7 FE is nearly identical to the Galaxy Z Flip6, only it runs an in-house 4nm Exynos 2400 with 8GB of RAM. The older Flip6 packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with 12GB of RAM. We'll run our own tests, but the Snapdragon will likely be a bit faster than the new Exynos. On the surface, the Flip7 FE doesn't seem like much of an upgrade, especially considering that you can find the Galaxy Z Flip6 with twice the base storage (256GB) of the Flip7 FE, for less. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE You get a USB-C cable with the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. Having identical hardware to last year's Galaxy Z Flip6, the Flip7 FE has an outdated cover screen (especially compared to the Flip7). It's only 60Hz and it doesn't stretch to the entire available panel. On the surface at least, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE doesn't look like a very compelling proposition. If you look over at Motorola's Razr 60 series, you'll get a bigger, more functioning cover display, a bigger battery with slightly faster charging for less money. Still, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE may not be all bad. We'll need to do our full review treatment on it to see what's what so stay tuned! Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE 5G

Galaxy Z Fold 7 crushes it again, because Samsung listened to feedback
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, though not in the hands of most users who've placed an order, has excelled massively over the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung listened, and its new phone is apparently exactly what fans had been hoping for after the archaic Fold 6. China is a major market, but it's also extremely competitive. The Fold 6 quickly fell behind domestic foldable phones after its launch, and Samsung had to release the region-exclusive Fold 6 SE just to claw back some market share. However, with the Fold 7 , Chinese consumers have shown that they're quite willing to support Samsung if the company listens to feedback. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has already sold ( translated source ) double what the Fold 6 had managed in the same time frame. Chinese customers have shown quite clearly that they value a competitive product. The Fold 7 is easily one of the best foldables of 2025, in my opinion. It's super slim, it has a fantastic display with an improved crease, you get excellent cameras, and the seven years of software support is always a plus. Samsung listened to user feedback, ditched the archaic and bulky design of the Fold 6, and delivered a phone that gives the competition a run for its money. The Galaxy Z Fold improves drastically over its predecessor. | Video credit — Samsung Of course, it's not perfect, yet. The Fold 7 uses the same 4,400 mAh battery that the Fold 6 came with. This battery, from a purely numbers-focused perspective, falls behind alternatives like the Oppo Find N5 and the Honor Magic V5. Nevertheless, there is a case to be made for the Fold 7's battery. The Fold 7 is very similar to the Fold 6 SE that came before it. It's slimmer than the base Fold 6, has a main display that's the same size, and even has the same punch hole design instead of an under-display camera. If, for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Samsung is able to increase the battery capacity, then it'll have a winner on its hands. And that's something that the company needs, because next year is likely to be the year when Apple finally announces its foldable iPhone. $1120 off (53%) Pre-order the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Samsung and grab a free storage upgrade on the 512GB model. On top of that, you can save an extra up to $1,000 with eligible device trade-ins. Alternatively, you can buy the phone with a $300 Samsung Credit. Pre-order at Samsung

Looking to save oodles of money, Apple awaits major decision from EC
Looking to save itself from getting hit with a huge fine by the European Union (EU), Apple made some changes to the App Store last month that need final approval from the European Commission (EC). Apple revised the controversial fees it charges developers to process in-app payments and subscriptions. In June, the iPhone maker said that with the changes, developers will pay it a 20% processing fee for App Store transactions. The fee could drop to as low as 13% for developers connected with Apple's small-business program. App developers wanted the freedom to send customers to third-party processing platforms One of the main conditions that developers wanted was the freedom to redirect their customers looking to make a payment for an App Store purchase to a third-party processing platform, bypassing Apple's fees. Under the new fee structure, developers who send customers to a third party to process an App Store transaction will pay a fee between 5% and 15%. There will also be no limits on the number of links developers can send their customers that will take them to a non-Apple processing platform. Back in April, Apple was fined €500 million ($587 million) for violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The latter is the groundbreaking EU legislation designed to keep competition among tech firms fair in the union of 27 European states. After the fine was announced, Apple blamed the issue on technical problems that it said prevented app developers from sending customers to cheaper prices outside of the App Store. As a result, Apple had committed a DMA violation despite the excuses mentioned by the tech giant.

The changes are fair to app developers. 0% No. Apple is still ripping off app developers. 0% I really don't care either way. 0% Apple appealed the fine this month, but at the same time, it said that the changes to the App Store's processing fees it announced in June were done to prevent the tech giant from getting hit with punitive daily fines. After Apple was fined in April, the EC, charged with enforcing EU law, gave Apple 60 days to comply with the DMA or face daily fines of up to five per cent of its global revenue, which is equivalent to approximately €50 million per day ($58.5 million). A report published today says that the EC is expected to approve the changes , although it might be several weeks before this approval becomes official and is announced. Meanwhile, the EC said, "All options remain on the table. We are still assessing Apple's proposed changes." Spotify's CEO Daniel Ek was one of the App Store's loudest critics in the EU Many iOS app developers protested the fees over the years, which became known as the "Apple Tax." One CEO who might have had the loudest voice complaining about the fees was Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek, who filed a complaint with the EC back in 2019. Ek complained that Apple Music had an unfair advantage over Spotify in the EU due to what was then a 30% fee Apple charged to developers for processing in-app subscriptions. The fight between Apple and Spotify continued even after the DMA was passed. Last year, the music streamer accused Apple of not allowing physical iPhone buttons to control the volume on Spotify Connect . The latter is a feature that allows iOS users to control the playback of music streamed by Spotify across compatible devices while using the Spotify app as a remote. Other firms fighting back against the Apple Tax included Netflix. In 2018, the video streamer stopped allowing new or re-joining subscribers to open their Netflix accounts via the App Store. In 2024, Netflix stopped allowing grandfathered subscribers to pay their monthly subscription charge through the App Store. Instead, Netflix subscribers had to agree to make direct payments to Netflix to keep their subscriptions. Netflix was trying to eliminate any subscribers who were still making their subscription payments through Apple. While you can say that the force of legislation and the possibility of huge fines led Apple to make changes to how and how much developers are charged to process App Store purchases and subscriptions, companies like Spotify and Netflix were also instrumental in forcing Apple to make some of the changes they wanted.
