Limited Time Deal!
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the biggest, beefiest, and most expensive device in the 2025 Z lineup. At $1999.99, it's not cheap! If you were already thinking of getting it, though, the free storage upgrade and $300 Amazon gift card add up to $420 in freebies.
Of course, you're paying the big bucks, so you should expect nothing but quality. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is far from being a slouch. It comes with premium specs like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12-16GB of RAM. The large internal screen has a gorgeous Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel with a 2,184 x 1,968 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will offer an amazing viewing experience. And if you want a smaller screen for more casual tasks, there is an external 6.5-inch display.
While it is rarer in foldable phones, it still has an IP48 rating and a stunning construction. The triple-camera setup includes a primary 200MP camera. The battery is smaller at 4,400mAh, but this is a common issue with foldable phones. They tend to have smaller batteries.

Melds Galaxy AI with the new edge-to-edge FlexWindow
With a 6.9-inch main display and a 4.1-inch FlexWindow outer display, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 7 focuses on putting AI smarts in your pocket. Measuring just 13.74mm thick when folded, it's the slimmest Z Flip phone yet. Packed with a 50MP camera and a suite of AI tools, Samsung calls the Z Flip 7 a "pocket-sized selfie studio."

As cool as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is, many would prefer something like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. Not only is it much more affordable, but it is very pocketable and still offers an outstanding experience.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a capable Exynos 2500 processor and 12GB of RAM, which puts it in line with other premium handsets. The main Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X screen has a Full HD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It still has a gorgeous design and solid construction, featuring an IP48 rating.
Surprisingly, the battery is only slightly smaller at 4,300mAh. And since it has much smaller screens, I can assume this phone will have a better battery life. We'll see once we give it a full review. For now, if you're an early adopter, the free 512GB storage upgrade and $200 gift card are very welcome.

Budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip
With as few compromises as possible to bring the price down, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE rocks a 6.7-inch main display, a 3.4-inch front display, and an Exynos chipset.

Limited Time Deal!
While a much better deal than the Fold, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is still a bit pricey at $1,099.99. If you want a foldable phone but would rather save more, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is looking like a nice option. At least if you really want to stick with Samsung's new lineup.
It costs $899.99, and this offer includes a free upgrade to 256GB of storage and a $100 gift card, for a total of $160 in freebies.
The difference between the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and 7 FE isn't huge, honestly. Casual users might not even notice the performance upgrade, for example. The cheaper flip phone comes with an Exynos 2400 processor and 8GB of RAM, which is still more than good enough for normal tasks.
This one's battery is smaller, at 4,000mAh. The camera system is the same, though, and it still has a nice design and IP48 rating.
Regardless of which device you pick, you might want to sign up for these pre-order deals as soon as possible. The devices will launch on Friday, and we're almost sure these offers will be gone after that. If you want to consider other options, though, here's our list of the best foldable phones.

I tried two new TECNO phones for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised
Ryan Haines / Android Authority As a US-based tech reviewer, I might get access to a lot of different devices, but I often find myself changing between the same few companies because of the limited number of brands that launch here. I'll jump from Samsung to Motorola to Google and back again, over and over, only sometimes getting lucky with a new launch from Nothing to spice things up. So, when I was offered the chance to check out a few recent launches from TECNO — a company I've never explored before — I jumped. I waited (mostly patiently) for the TECNO Spark 40 Pro Plus and Pova 7 Ultra to arrive, and I'm glad I did. For less than $250 each, they're more clever than I thought they'd be, and they live up to the old Android slogan, 'Be together, not the same,' much better than I expected, even if there are some concessions to hit their low, low price tags. The Spark 40 Pro Plus is a simple, smooth, cheap starting point Ryan Haines / Android Authority The tricky part about hopping into a pair of new TECNO launches is that I didn't know what to expect. They showed up, I unboxed them, and I reached for what looked like the more familiar phone first. That turned out to be the TECNO Spark 40 Pro Plus — a 4G-only budget model with shades of everything from the Galaxy S25 to the Motorola Edge (2022) baked into its slim plastic shell and a software experience that reminds me of OxygenOS from just a few years back. At a glance, none of those borrowed ideas might sound all that exciting, but hear me out — those phones all cost significantly more than the $150-180 Spark 40 Pro Plus (price depends on region). So, for TECNO to find ways to bring everything to a budget segment is exciting. The Spark 40 Pro Plus also brings back a waterfall display — a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a crisp 144Hz refresh rate — that's almost good enough for me to question why everyone abandoned it in the first place. Just kidding, I still struggled with covering it in fingerprints and accidental presses until I put the phone in its included silicone case, but it adds what I remember of a flagship touch without a flagship price, as this one starts at the equivalent of about $150. The Spark 40 Pro Plus looks a little bit like a lot of my favorite phones without the price tag. I'm also perhaps slightly surprised by how many AI-powered features TECNO packed into its Spark 40 Pro Plus. It essentially has its own version of many of Google's photo editing tools, from an AI Eraser 2.0 to an AI Extender, and supports Circle to Search, suggesting that it's not just TECNO's tools at play. I still prefer Google's editing tools — they have more punch to work with from the recent Tensor chips — but I like that TECNO is trying to bring tools to a more accessible price point. That said, there are a few bits of the Spark 40 Pro Plus that remind me that this is… well, a very cheap Android phone. Its 4G-only Helio G200 processor is only a slight upgrade over the previous Helio G100, and its single 50MP rear sensor feels like a dated choice, mainly because it's flanked by two other rings that look like additional camera sensors, but don't house anything. I would have loved even a simple ultrawide sensor for a bit more flexibility, but I've been pretty pleased by the results at 1x and 2x zoom. Of course, the bright side of the Spark 40 Pro Plus's power-sipping processor is that it can make the most out of the 5,200mAh battery. I've only had to reach for a charger once or twice while exploring the phone, and I've been pleased with the peak 45W speeds. They're the same as Samsung pushes to its flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra, while 30W wireless charging is quicker than I'm used to from most flagship phones, though I wouldn't have hit top speeds without TECNO's proprietary charging pad. I might actually keep using the Pova 7 Ultra as a cheap gaming phone Ryan Haines / Android Authority Once I felt like I had a pretty good feel for the Spark 40 Pro Plus, I decided it was time to switch gears to the TECNO phone I was more excited about in the first place: The Pova 7 Ultra. Dedicated gaming phones are few and far between here in the US — I usually have to hope for the best with something like the OnePlus 13 or Pixel 9 Pro — so I was curious how TECNO's dedicated hardware at a budget-friendly price point of around $230 would handle a few of my favorite titles. Put simply, it handled them pretty well with help from its 12-layer cooling architecture. Unfortunately, due to limited band support, I couldn't pop my personal Verizon SIM into the Pova 7 Ultra to make it a go-to option for Pokémon Go, but I had no problems racing through games while I was at home on Wi-Fi. It conducted its way through Railbound without a problem, let me take control of Warhammer 40,000 Tacticus as smoothly as I'm used to, and kept me from getting wrecked in PUBG Mobile. I'm still not good at the game, but at least it ran pretty well. Ryan Haines / Android Authority However, what caught me about the Pova 7 Ultra was its design. I know what they say about imitation and flattery, and I'm not even mad about it this time. There's no way to avoid the fact that the Pova 7 Ultra looks like a distant Nothing cousin, from its pseudo-transparent back panel to the Status Light that wraps around its triangular camera bump. Like the Spark 40 Pro Plus, that camera bump plays a trick on the eye by housing two cameras (a 108MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide backup) while looking like it has room for a third. Although I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't give the Pova 7 Ultra its full run due to band support, I'm still impressed by what it packs under the hood. It pairs the Dimensity 8350 Ultimate with 256GB of storage and either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, though TECNO likes to claim it has 16GB or 24GB by converting a dash of its storage to serve as extended RAM. Ryan Haines / Android Authority And then, there's the battery. In true gaming phone fashion, TECNO packed its Pova 7 Ultra with a hefty 6,000mAh cell backed by 70W wired Ultra Charge and the same 30W wireless charging as the Spark 40 Pro Plus. I've had a tough time draining the cell through most of my in-home gaming sessions, but I've done my best to get it there so I could use the included 3,000mAh magnetic power bank. Before you get your Qi2 hopes up, though, know that you need a magnetic case to use the power bank, but thankfully, one comes in the box. Honestly, I didn't realize that TECNO was such a chameleon After about a week with the TECNO Pova 7 Ultra and the Spark 40 Pro Plus, I still have to say I'm impressed. No, I won't say that either phone is about to replace the Pixel that has a permanent place in my pocket, but I can see how they punch above their price tags. More impressively, they do it in different ways. Although they both run a very slightly Pixel-like HiOS 15 based on Android 15, the overall software experience is entirely different. It's a pretty standard affair on the Spark, pairing a somewhat iOS-like quick settings menu with a very colorful app drawer full of a mix of Google apps and in-house versions like Game Space, Hi Translate, and the Hola Browser. I'll still probably skew towards Google Translate and Chrome since I've been using them for years, but the Hola Browser interface is cuter than expected. On the Pova 7 Ultra, the same HiOS experience is completely different. Taking another page out of Nothing's book, the team at TECNO rebuilt a few hundred custom icons in a white, black, and orange color scheme and adopted a customized new font that reminds me of a certain other Android skin. It still has essentially the same slate of in-house TECNO apps for you to explore, they just have a bit more of a gaming edge. Both of these phones run HiOS, but the day-to-day experience is different as can be. Of course, we still have to talk about the budget-minded elephant in the room. Although I've had a lot of fun exploring TECNO for the last little while, and I appreciate that it still includes goodies like cases, wireless power banks, and even chargers in the box (with UK pins), it's still tough to hop on board in the US. Limited band support means that you'll mostly have to hunt for a Wi-Fi connection to use your Pova 7 Ultra or Spark 40 Pro Plus, which is a hard sell for a smartphone. I'm also wary of TECNO's update commitment. I wasn't expecting it to rival Google or Samsung with a seven-year promise. Still, the Pova 7 Ultra's two Android updates and three years of security support, and the Spark 40 Pro Plus's two years of security patches are more than a little behind the times. But, like I said, the Pova 7 Ultra starts at just $210 while the Spark 40 Pro Plus is even more approachable at $150 (though prices may vary by region), so either of these devices could find a role as your backup phone once it's run out of updates. Then again, Nothing finally has solid carrier support after three generations of launches, so maybe TECNO is next.

This fan-made Galaxy S26 Ultra render is the phone I wish Samsung would make
Joe Maring / Android Authority 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Although it's a bit too early in the rumor cycle for concrete Galaxy S26 leaks, that hasn't stopped people from talking about Samsung's next phones. Mostly recently, that's taken shape in r/SamsungGalaxy, where discussion of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is in full swing. Along with sharing some speculative spec changes they're hoping to see, user u/BHJ-AL also shared a fan-made concept render of what the Galaxy S26 Ultra could look like, and I've got to admit — I think it's great. Although this render isn't based on any actual reporting or other leaked info, it's a plausible design considering Samsung's other recent handsets. The camera sensor placement is the same as what we have now on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, as is the phone's generally boxy shape with slightly rounded corners. The most significant change, however, is the redesigned housing around the primary, ultrawide, and telephoto cameras. This Galaxy S26 Ultra render imagines them placed inside an oval-shaped island, not unlike what we see on the Galaxy S25 Edge, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy A56 5G. While it's an admittedly minor tweak, it's one I really like. The symmetry it adds with Samsung's other phones is a nice touch, but more than anything, I'd just be happy to see any visual change on Samsung's next flagship. As technically capable as its Ultra phones consistently are year after year, Samsung's design for its most premium slab phone is beyond tired. We've had the same core design since the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and while this Galaxy S26 Ultra render isn't a complete change of pace, it's different enough that I'd be thrilled to see it become a reality. What do you think about this Galaxy S26 Ultra fan-made render? 0 votes I love it! I hope the phone actually looks like this. NaN % It's fine, but I hope we get a bigger redesign. NaN % I don't like it at all. NaN % Other (let us know in the comments). NaN % Looking through comments on that Reddit thread, opinions are pretty split. One person said, 'I like it somehow. Its like borrowing the design of the A56 with still the design of the previous ultras.' Meanwhile, someone else simply stated, 'Sorry but that looks ugly.' One comment mentioned Samsung's need for bold colors, which I 100% agree with. This design would be great to see, but I would also want Samsung to pair it with bright and fun colors — not numerous shades of gray like we got for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, I'm curious what you think. If this is what the Galaxy S26 Ultra looked like, would you be on board with it? Do you think a redesigned camera housing is enough, or would you like to see even bigger changes? Alternatively, would you rather Samsung not change anything and keep the design as it is today? Whatever you're thinking, vote in the poll above and then sound off with any other Galaxy S26 Ultra thoughts you have in the comments below.

Your Android phone can now control more of your PC, and here's how
Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Microsoft is updating its Link to Windows app on Android, enabling you to access your PC more easily. The update allows you to view the PC's battery status, recent files, and clipboard from your Android devices. The update also allows you to lock your Windows PCs remotely using your phone. Microsoft's Phone Link is the closest (and most trustworthy) means to create an Apple-like continuity between your Android phone and a Windows PC. The app already allows you to view your phone's notifications, messages, and media on your PC, take calls, and share files between both devices. The Android device, however, gets limited functionality, which Microsoft may now be looking to change. On the Android side, Microsoft's Link to Windows app serves as the terminal for creating and managing the cross-device connectivity features. Since it is already popular, with over a billion downloads on the Play Store, Microsoft could improve its service by adding features that enable remote control of the PC from a mobile device. Microsoft recently announced a significant update to the Link to Windows app. The update introduces new features, including the ability to remotely lock your Windows PC from a connected phone, check vitals such as battery and Wi-Fi status, or cast your phone's screen without interacting with the PC app. These features were previously spotted in Windows' dev channels and are now being rolled out to more users through the broader Insider channels. Along with these improvements, the Link to Windows can now be used to send files directly, without relying separately on Android's share sheet. More excitingly, the Link to Windows app will now also allow you to view recent files and access your PC's clipboard on your phone. The Android app is also getting an updated interface, as seen below: Microsoft Microsoft isn't rolling these features out to the stable channels of Windows 11 just yet, and you must be using one of the Insider builds to enjoy them. Alternatively, you can sign up to be a Windows Insider. Additionally, you will need to sign up for the beta for Link to Windows on the Play Store by scrolling down on the app listing, such that you are running version 1.25071.155 of the app on your phone. Lastly, once you have completed these requirements, go to Windows Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mobile devices > Manage devices on your PC, select your Android device, and enable the required toggles to access the new features on your phone.
