Galaxy Z Flip 7 looks drastically different than Flip 6 in leaked video
The biggest highlight this year is that the Flip 7 has a bigger outer screen, which wraps around the cameras, abandoning the folder-style cover display of its predecessor. Apparently, the size of the external display has increased from 3.4 inches to 4.1 inches.That's far from the only change that will increase the Flip 7 's odds of beating the best foldable phones of 2025. The outer screen is also bigger, with rumors saying it has grown from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches.The Flip 7 also looks thinner than the Flip 6. This aligns with rumors that said the phone would be 13.7 mm when folded, down from 14.9 mm. In the unfolded state, it will be 6.5 mm, so it will feel thinner in your hand compared to the 6.9 mm Flip 6.Despite being thinner, the phone will be slightly heavier, clocking in at 188 grams. This will make it 1 gram heavier than the Flip 6, which, of course, is negligible, but is a reminder that while the device may be thinner, it's not going to weigh less.
This is understandable, though, considering the Flip 7 is not just going to be bigger, it's also going to house a bigger 4,300mAh battery. In contrast, the Flip 7 features a 4,000mAh cell.
Moving on, the Flip 7 doesn't appear to have a crease, which has always been a problem with foldable phones . The crease is likely still there and may become more noticeable with use, but it's still a noticeable improvement over the Flip 6. Samsung was one of the most innovative companies in the early days of foldables, but somehow lost ground to Chinese rivals. This impacted its sales and served as a reminder that it can't keep running on its early success. That's perhaps why it has allegedly made noticeable changes to its upcoming foldables.Not everything is going to change, though. Apart from a bigger battery and the faster Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, other specs will reportedly remain unchanged.Most customers will likely not mind, considering the outer display will be a lot more useful now. It will now be able to display more widgets, while the additional space will seemingly be used to show the date and time.

Samsung unveils new security features built into One UI 8
Samsung today announced a new suite of security and privacy updates that will be available in One UI 8 based on Android 16. The company also very strongly hinted at the fact that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 will be the first handsets to launch running Android 16 with One UI 8 on top. With One UI 8, Samsung is introducing Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), which creates "encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device's secure storage area, ensuring that each app can access only its own sensitive information and nothing more". KEEP helps secure your "deeply personal insights", such as routines and preferences, that enable features like Now Brief and Smart Gallery search, while supporting Samsung's Personal Data Engine (PDE). Those personal "insights" stay entirely on device, protected by KEEP and further secured by Knox Vault, Samsung's "tamper-resistant hardware security environment". KEEP protects Now Brief, Smart Suggestions, Samsung Moments, and "other on-device features that rely on user-specific inputs", thus enabling "more advanced AI experiences" without compromising privacy. In One UI 8, when a device is flagged for "serious risk", such as system manipulation or identity forgery, it will automatically be signed out of the Samsung account, cutting off access to cloud-connected services to prevent threats from spreading. When this happens, you'll be notified across your connected Galaxy devices. Samsung is also bringing post-quantum cryptography to Secure Wi-Fi, in order to strengthen network protection against emerging threats. This secures the key exchange process at the core of encrypted connections, ensuring "robust privacy" even over public networks, somehow. Secure Wi-Fi is built to withstand future attacks that capture encrypted data with the intent to break it once quantum technology matures. Source 1 | Source 2

Xiaomi 16 grabs a certification on its way to launch
The Xiaomi 16 has been rumored to launch in China by the end of September, right after Qualcomm unveils the chipset that will be powering it. The phone has now received the EEC certification, ahead of its global launch. It's unclear when that will take place - its predecessor was introduced to international markets this February at MWC, but if the Xiaomi 16 launches in China in September, waiting five months for it to make its global debut is stretching things quite a lot, so perhaps Xiaomi will change things this time around - it remains to be seen. The certification reveals the Xiaomi 16's model number for global markets, which is 25113PN0EG. The Chinese model will have a "C" at the end instead of the "G", while the Indian model - you guessed it - will end in "I". According to previous rumors and leaks, the Xiaomi 16 will have a massive 7,000 mAh battery, a 6.3" to 6.39" flat OLED display, and three 50 MP cameras on the rear (including a main with a 1/1.3" type sensor and a periscope telephoto).

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE to have a flagship display
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 FE will have a flagship display feature, unlike its predecessor from last year. According to a new report out of Samsung's home of South Korea, the company has decided to use a flexible OLED panel for the S25 FE. These are more expensive than rigid OLED panels, and thus are generally only used in flagship smartphones. Even though the S25 FE doesn't fit that bill, Samsung has apparently decided to give it this flagship feature in order to better help differentiate it from the likes of the Galaxy A series. The flexible OLED panels can be bent and thus allow for symmetrical bezels on all sides of the screen too, though it's unclear if Samsung will go this route. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Anyway, it's an upgrade compared to the S24 FE, and based on previous rumors, there won't be many others. The Galaxy S25 FE could in fact be powered by the same Exynos 2400e SoC as its predecessor. The cameras will be identical too, with one notable exception - the upgraded selfie snapper.
