Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 sees unprecedented demand, runs out of stock in select markets across India
The seventh-generation foldables, including the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, garnered a record 210,000 pre-orders within just 48 hours of launch in India. This surge in demand underscores the accelerating mainstream adoption of foldable smartphones in the country. 'We would like to thank India's tech-savvy consumers for giving the Galaxy Z Fold7 a blockbuster start. We are aware that many markets in the country are facing a shortfall due to huge demand. We are working overtime to ensure adequate supplies of our most advanced smartphone, to enable customers to enjoy the Galaxy Z Fold7 at the earliest,' said Raju Pullan, Senior Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India.
Retailers across the country have echoed Samsung's observation.
Nilesh Gupta, Director at Vijay Sales, said, 'We have witnessed extraordinary demand, with most of our top outlets in key cities already running out of stock. It is clear that customers are thrilled with the innovation and premium experience the device offers.'
Sandeep Singh Jolly, COO at Electronics Mart India Ltd (Bajaj Electronics), confirmed strong performance across their retail network, stating that many flagship stores in key urban areas are experiencing stock depletion.
Similarly, Uvaraj Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Poorvika Mobiles, added: 'Galaxy Z Fold7 has been a great success with a fabulous response across regions. Stocks are getting liquidated as soon as they are getting delivered to our stores.'
Flagship features powering demand
Weighing just 215 grams and measuring only 4.2 mm when unfolded, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest Fold device yet. Available in Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Mint, and Jet Black, the device boasts standout design and performance upgrades.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the Fold7 delivers performance boosts of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU compared to its predecessor. Camera innovation also takes a leap with a 200MP wide-angle lens, offering 44% brighter images and 4x more detail.
On the software front, One UI 8 introduces Gemini Live AI assistant with real-time screen sharing, enhanced privacy features via Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), and smarter large-screen multitasking.
Durability is also significantly improved. The new Armor FlexHinge features a multi-rail structure and water droplet design to minimize visible creasing. The cover display uses Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, while Titanium plates and Ultra-Thin Glass (50% thicker) add further resilience.

Apple's iPhone 17 Air faces a new threat — Samsung's latest leak hints at a super thin phone with epic battery
Apple is expected to launch its ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air in about a month, but new rumors about battery life could place the unreleased phone even further behind rival Samsung's own super-skinny Galaxy S25 Edge and next year's Galaxy S26 Edge. Regular Samsung tipster Ice Universe posted that the S26 Edge might have a significantly bigger battery than the S25 Edge. "The battery information I got for the S26 Edge is 4,400 mAh," they wrote on X. However, they also added a caveat that the there is "some conflict," and they are double checking the information. If the rumor is true, that would be a major boost over the 3,900mAh battery featured in the current Galaxy S25 Edge. A previous rumor had suggested the battery would only go up to 4,200mAh, an improvement though not as much as what Ice Universe is now talking about. In our Galaxy S25 Edge review, we found that the phone lasted 12 hours and 24 minutes in battery testing. That's two hours longer than the average phone but at least four hours shorter than what other Samsung models like the the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra can last. We also found that the S25 Edge's battery seemed to drain faster than other phones. The iPhone 17 Air may already find itself at a disadvantage if rumors about the battery on Apple's unreleased phone prove accurate. Reportedly, the phone is set to use a 2,800 mAh battery. Even with Apple having a history of featuring smaller batteries than its competition, that's a noticeably petite power pack. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that iPhone 17 Air battery life will be "on par" with other iPhone models, which is encouraging. Apparently, Apple is counting on power savings from a new A19 processor plus the Apple-built C1 modem to help the phone last long enough in spite of its smaller battery. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Both Apple and Samsung have been rumored to mulling a switch to silicon carbon batteries from lithium ion ones in future phones. Silicon carbon is supposed to have higher density enabling more charge in smaller cell sizes. Presumably, switching to the silicon carbon anode would enable the companies to slot in thinner batteries with similar capacity to lithium ion batteries they already use. But that move is further down the road. For now, phone makers have to grapple with the challenge of fitting enough battery into increasingly slender models. And it's a challenge that Samsung appears to be meeting if this latest Galaxy S26 Edge rumor pans out.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 FE is coming into focus, and here's what to expect
TL;DR A new leak has revealed a more complete spec sheet for the Galaxy S25 FE. The phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, Exynos 2400 chip, and 45W charging. It looks like the selfie camera will be bumped to 12MP, and the device will weigh around 190g. We've already got a pretty solid idea of what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, but the same leaker behind last week's RAM and storage leak is back with a more substantial spec dump. Let's look at what you'll be getting for your money. In a new post on X, leaker Arsène Lupin shared a comprehensive hardware rundown for Samsung's next Fan Edition phone. A few of the details had already been rumored, such as the 6.7-inch AMOLED display at 120Hz and the Exynos 2400 chip. Still, we've now got reliable indications of things like 45W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and a 4,500mAh battery. The camera hardware looks largely unchanged, though the selfie cam has been bumped to 12MP. We'll have to wait and see if any actual photo quality improvements are in store. The same goes for the design — no sign yet of any big shake-up. Other newly mentioned details include IP68 water resistance, Gorilla Glass Victus, and a 190g weight, which seems reasonable given the screen size. None of this is mind-blowing, but it does help paint a more complete picture of the phone, which is also expected to ship with One UI 8 out of the box. The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to land sometime between late Q3 and early Q4, likely around early October if past launches are anything to go by. Unless Samsung has a few surprises left, this might be more of a refinement than a full refresh. Follow

Tesla's Samsung order shift unlikely to hurt TSMC: Morgan Stanley
-- Tesla's decision to shift some semiconductor orders to Samsung (KS:005930) starting in 2027 is unlikely to have a major impact on TSMC's earnings or valuation, according to Morgan Stanley. 'We see limited impact to our TSMC EPS assumptions from 2027 and we don't expect TSMC stock to de-rate because of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shifting some orders to Samsung Foundry,' analysts wrote. Tesla recently signed a $16.5 billion chip deal with Samsung, with the new AI5 chip, set to launch in January 2026, still being manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process. Morgan Stanley noted that the AI5 is expected to deliver four to five times the performance of its predecessor and will continue production through 2026. Although the AI6 chip will reportedly shift to Samsung in 2027 using a 2nm process, the bank estimates this represents only about a 1% revenue loss for TSMC. 'Strategically, we would never assume TSMC can acquire 100% market share in the leading edge,' Morgan Stanley said, citing common practices of using multiple foundry partners for pricing and engineering flexibility. Moreover, the firm expects TSMC to continue supplying Tesla and cloud AI chips. 'We are also seeing a 3nm AI ASIC from to be produced in 2026 through TSMC's design service partner GUC,' analysts noted, estimating those cloud AI chips could add 0.5% to 2027 revenue. Morgan Stanley also highlighted longer-term growth potential in China's smart and AI vehicle market, calling it 'a viable long-term growth driver for TSMC.'
