An upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 rival could have the biggest battery in a Flip phone
TL;DR The HONOR Magic V Flip 2 will reportedly have a 5,500mAh battery. This would mean it has the largest battery out of all Flip foldable phones. HONOR's rumored Flip phone will apparently launch later this month. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a 4,300mAh battery, which is a small but welcome bump over last year's model. However, rivals like the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 go even larger. It now looks like HONOR could also up the ante. Leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that the rumored HONOR Magic V Flip 2 will have a 5,500mAh battery. If confirmed, that would be the largest battery in a Flip foldable phone to date. A 5,500mAh battery would mean the Magic V Flip 2 has a bigger battery than the Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, it would also be bigger than the batteries in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and global Xiaomi 15 Ultra. So you should definitely keep an eye on this model if you want a Flip phone with long battery life. You won't have long to wait for charging, as the leaker says the phone will have an 80W charger. Otherwise, the phone will apparently launch later this month in Moon Shadow White, Titanium Sky Gray, Dawn Purple, and Dream Blue color schemes. The one potential downside is that the original phone didn't launch outside China. That means we don't have high hopes for a global Magic V Flip 2 launch down the line. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Honor Magic V5: Which is truly the thinnest foldable phone?
When the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 launched, there were plenty of changes to admire in the company's vastly upgraded device and one of the best foldable phones. But it's arrival also changed something else — people's perception of a rival foldable that had been claiming to be the thinnest of the two. Earlier in July, the Honor Magic V5 launched, proclaiming that it was the world's thinnest foldable phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 then launched later in the month, officially measuring slightly thicker and thus allowing Honor to keep the title. But then, users like tech leaker Ice Universe got their hands on both phones and started measuring. And they found different numbers to the published ones, numbers that seemed to prove the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is actually the thinner phone. With Honor trying to reassert its claim, and Samsung happily accepting that it's accidentally made the world's thinnest foldable phone, it's hard to know what to believe. So in the interest of trying to settle the matter, I've spoken to both Honor and Samsung, and taken my own measurements with my own samples of the two phones in question. As a baseline, let's look at the official claims for the thickness of these two phones when folded. The unfolded measurements are not under dispute here, and are arguably less important anyway since you won't be carrying a foldable around while unfolded the vast majority of the time. Also note that these measurements revolve around specifically the Ivory White Magic V5. The other colors of the Magic V5 are thicker due to slightly different back panel designs. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Honor Magic V5 (White) Official thickness when folded 8.9mm 8.8mm Ice Universe's measurements 8.79mm 8.95mm Compare those to Ice Universe's measurements in the same table: the Magic V5 is 0.15mm thicker according to his calipers, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is 0.11mm thinner than claimed. Obviously, something is amiss here, and Honor was quick to respond with possible explanations. As part of its statement to me and other tech outlets, Honor noted that even mass-produced products like smartphones can have small manufacturing variances. But this isn't a unique problem to Honor, and could even work in its favor as well as against it. So let's instead focus on the two other reasons why the official numbers and Ice Universe's may not match. The first is that Honor's official measurements come from a Magic V5 device with no screen protector. The Magic V5, like all of Honor's phones, ships with a pre-applied plastic film on its outer screen. This courtesy puts Honor at a thickness disadvantage compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has no pre-applied protector. It's hard to see in IU's images if the Magic V5 has a screen protector on or not, but I made sure to take the film off of my device before measuring. The second issue is the precise way in which Honor took its measurement. In documentation I've seen, the recommended measurement method involves placing the calipers over the phone from the hinged side to cover the Honor logo, and with 'appropriate thumb pressure' on the bottom jaw. I don't know if there's some secret advantage gained by measuring at this point, but having a nice flat canvas for the calipers to grip is certainly helpful. What's more confusing is how the images Honor has published of its lab testing do not show this method being used. So with those facts in mind, I got measuring. I'll state up front that my calipers, while from the reputable brand iFixit, are perhaps not as accurate as more expensive models, such as the ones phone companies like Honor use for their official specs measurements. Nonetheless, from other measurements I've made with these calipers, I am confident that they are at least 99% accurate, and are at the very least capable of showing a size difference between our two foldables. I measured the two phones with the method given by Honor — it's only fair, after all. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn't have a logo on the back to help judge its midpoint, but I made the best approximation I could, given its similar height and width to the Magic V5. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Honor Magic V5 TG's measurement of thickness when folded 8.88mm 9.3mm My numbers are 0.08mm off the official figures for Samsung, and 0.5mm off for the Honor, making the Galaxy Z Fold 7 the thinner phone. I don't know what "appropriate thumb pressure" means precisely in Honor's statement, but it's an important detail. Putting pressure on the calipers allows you to get a smaller measurement as the object you're measuring flexes slightly, which applies all the more with foldable phones as there are two halves of the phone, plus the hinge, that can be squeezed tighter. Honor's official images of its size test don't appear to show the calipers under strain, with them only being held by one hand from the bottom of the ruler section. But given that calipers can be locked into place with the small screw on top of the display, we can't know for certain if there was any squeezing or not pre-photo. Annoyingly, I don't have any method of measuring or double-checking how much force I placed on the calipers to get the following measurements. The best I can do is describe the amount of force I applied, which I would call a press firm enough to leave a clean fingerprint in a thin piece of putty, or push open a door with just one thumb. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Honor Magic V5 TG's measurement of thickness when folded (with pressure) 8.6mm 8.78mm Here, we finally hit Honor's promised 8.8mm figure, with a final last-minute measurement in fact going past the promised figure (though sadly off-camera). But any celebrations that Honor may now be planning will be cut short, as doing the same on the Samsung makes it sleeker yet again, a whole 0.3mm thinner than the official specs and 0.18mm thinner than the Magic V5. As we discussed before, these results could be due purely to the construction of the Magic V5 unit I had, but I suspect if it's happened to both my and Ice Universe's devices, it'll happen to many others. Before putting the phones away, I contacted Samsung, both to ask for its stance on the situation and for its official measuring standards for its devices, so we might compare the two foldables' size on its terms too. The company declined to comment. Despite the apparently conclusive evidence that the Magic V5 is not actually the thinnest book-style folding phone around, Honor seems to be sticking to its guns, and its official measurements. But now that I've seen the proof for myself that this claim is either inaccurate or comes with big caveats, I don't know why Honor's trying to power through like this. A device's thinness is an impressive and easy-to-grasp number, so I get why companies of all kinds like to talk about it in their marketing. But we are talking about the difference of about 40 micrometers - literally a couple hairs' thickness. There is so much more that Honor could sell the Magic V5 to people with beyond thinness. For instance, the V5's higher-res 50MP main and ultrawide cameras, its 64MP 3x telephoto camera, its huge 5,580 mAh battery or the faster 66W wired and 50W wireless charging standards. And if we're talking about deal breakers, the fact Honor doesn't sell in countries like the U.S. is going to be much more of a problem than its possibly imprecise measurements. As the global launch of the Magic V5 approaches, and we get closer to being able to fully review the phone, my anticipation isn't diminished by seeing it's slightly larger than the equivalent Samsung. As long as Honor doesn't make any other uncertain claims about the Magic V5's capabilities, it still stands a chance of making one of the best foldable phones around, and in ways that a rival phone maker can't just replicate or better immediately after.

You can now swap Gemini for a new assistant on Android, but you really shouldn't
Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR You can now replace Google Assistant or Gemini on any Android device with Meta AI as the default digital assistant app. This lets you launch Meta AI directly by long-pressing the home button or swiping inwards from the corner. However, beware that you can't use it for voice chat, which can be limiting compared to other options. Meta has been bullish on overtaking Google, OpenAI, xAI, and other tech giants as a major AI services provider. Taking advantage of the massive pool of users on its apps, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, Meta has been giving them a taste of AI for free through these apps. The features are also available in a dedicated 'Meta AI' app on Android, which you can now assign as the default digital assistant on your phone. We recently spotted the ability to replace Google Assistant or Gemini with Meta AI as the default digital assistant on Android devices. This feature was seemingly added to version 230.0.0.36.164 of the Meta AI app on Android. Once set as the default, it can be invoked by long-pressing the power button (if you have that setting enabled on your phone). Alternatively, you can tap and hold the home button if you use the three-button navigation system, or swipe inwards from one of the bottom corners if you use gesture navigation. AssembleDebug / Android Authority Once you download the app and set it up with your existing Facebook or Instagram accounts (or create a new one), you can head to Settings > Apps > Default apps > Digital assistant. Here, you can choose Meta AI as the default assistant. It's possible that these settings slightly vary on different Android skins. So, you can also look up 'default digital assistant' using the search bar in your phone's Settings app. While the added option gives you the ability to choose Meat AI as the digital assistant, there are a few limitations you should know of. Firstly, the gesture only opens the app, which is equivalent to tapping the app's icon. When it loads, it does not open up to an interface where you can simply start typing or interacting by voice, so launching it directly does not eliminate that extra step. Secondly, the Meta AI app does not inherently support voice input, though you could use the keyboard's voice typing functionality. This can feel limiting compared to other digital assistant apps supported on Android, including Google Assistant, Gemini, Amazon's Alexa, or even ChatGPT. Despite limited incentive to use Meta AI as the default assistant, there are certain benefits to using the Meta AI app on your phone. It lets you compose write-ups and generate photos and videos with text prompts. You can even use funky effects to create Reels that can be uploaded to your Instagram and Facebook accounts or shared via WhatsApp. The app also gets a public feed, which you can use as an inspiration for trying out new ideas or generating content. However, these features are also directly available within Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and you may be better off using the features there. So, the only reason to download the dedicated app may be hygiene — to keep your AI manifestations in a separate app. Follow
