Save $50 on the next-gen Galaxy Z foldables with Samsung US's early reservation campaign
The next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 9 and it will bring Samsung's next generation foldables. While you wait, you can take part in Samsung US's early reservation campaign. The company does this for every major launch – if you sign up for a reminder, you will get $50 Samsung Credit to use when you buy a Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 or Z Flip7 FE (assuming the latter is available in the US, of course). You can rack up to $1,150 of additional savings (which is usually a trade-in deal). Finally, there is a chance to win $5,000 in Samsung Credit. Note that there is no obligation to buy anything – you will get an email when the Z-foldables go on pre-order, but you can just ignore it (you will lose the $50 Credit if you do). This sign up is just that, an email reminder. If that sounds good, sign up on or using the Shop Samsung app. You will need to enter your name and email.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 vs Galaxy Watch 7: Main differences to expect
Intro It's not a colossal secret, but Samsung tends to release a new wave of smartwatches every summer, usually alongside its newest foldable phones, and this year is no different. Accompanying the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be not two, but three smartwatches: the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. All are shaping up to be slightly different versions of their predecessors, but as usual, we expect that the Galaxy Watch 8 will be the best-value new Samsung wearable that will quite possibly turn out to be a bestseller. Aside from the slightly newer design language, the Galaxy Watch 8 isn't shaping up to be drastically different from last year's Galaxy Watch 7. But is a new styling all there is to it, or is Samsung cooking another cool new feature? New squircle design vs circular design 32GB storage on both 435mAh vs 425mAh battery (44mm models) 10W wireless charging speeds on both Table of Contents: Design and Sizes Bands Software Battery Models Specs Summary This year, Samsung is seemingly treating all of its wearables to a new squircle-like design language, similar to what we got with last year's Galaxy Watch Ultra. This means a mostly squircle aluminum case paired with a standard circular screen. No rotating bezel here, just the standard dual buttons on the right-hand side. This change could potentially help Samsung put an ever-so-slightly bigger battery inside, unconstrained by the circular shape of the previous watch cases, and that seems to be precisely what we get here: a slightly larger battery is rumored to be making the rounds. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any other particular reason for the redesign itself, but then again, none was needed in the first place. Galaxy Watch 8's new squircle design language That's in a fairly stark contrast with the Galaxy Watch 7 , which is a standard circular smartwatch, just like most Samsung has released in the years before it. It's the most recognizable shape for a watch that translated well for the smartwatch offshoot, too, and the South Korea-based giant knew that well. Galaxy Watch 8 as per the latest rumors" The Galaxy Watch 8 will definitely come in two size versions: 40 and 44 mm ones, just like its predecessors. Size-wise, we don't expect major changes to the formula, which possibly means that the Galaxy Watch 8 will be just as thin and compact as the Galaxy Watch 7 . For a refresher, the latter measured 9.7 mm thin, and either 40.4 or 44.4 mm in diameter, depending on the model. In terms of weight, we doubt the Galaxy Watch 8 will be much heavier than the Galaxy Watch 7 , which weighed in at either 29 or 34 gr. The Galaxy Watch 8 will certainly score IP68 water and dust resistance, as well as MIL-STD-810H shock resistance, just like the Watch 7. With the Galaxy Watch 6, Samsung introduced a new quick-release band attachment mechanism to its smartwatches. It uses a button to quickly detach the strap mechanism from the case of the watch. The system worked perfectly on both the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 7 generations, and it will likely work beautifully on the Galaxy Watch 8 , as we don't expect changes in the band attachment mechanism. That said, back in December 2024, Samsung filed for a patent for a new attachment mechanism which uses a combination of mechanisms to allow for even faster band interchangeability instantly's notice. However, this one being a patent, there's no way of saying if and when it could become reality. We nevertheless expect some new types of watch bands to be announced alongside the Galaxy Watch 8 series. Software & Features The Galaxy Watch 8 will come with Wear OS as the backbone and Samsung's One UI Watch 8 running on top. Historically, this amalgamation between Google and Samsung's software is a surprisingly decent take on a smartwatch interfaces has been top-notch from a usability and feature perspective, and there's no reason to believe the Galaxy Watch 8 UX will be any different. The aesthetics will be changed, though, as Google's Wear OS is about to score a pretty big redesign with the upcoming Material 3 Expressive design language that's also bound to change Android 16's appearance as well. Samsung is also rumored to be reining it its Galaxy AI to do more on the company's smartwatches, like provide you with an AI-powered personalized recommendations, and more. In terms of new features, we could possibly get non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, which uses the BioActive sensor on board to measure the minuscule differences in blood glucose. While we are slightly pessimistic about this feature making it to this year's Galaxy Watch 8 series, there's always a chance. Last year's Galaxy Watch 7 came with a 300 mAh battery in the 40 mm version, while the larger 44 mm one came with a 425 mAh battery. Well, the rumor mill claims we should expect a slightly larger battery on the Galaxy Watch 8 . A minimal increase to 435 mAh on the 44 mm model and possibly 310 mAh on the smaller option is what we're getting here. As we expect the same 3nm Exynos W1000 chip to be making the rounds on the Galaxy Watch 8 , it's unlikely we're about to get a major increase in battery life. So about a day, a day and a half is possibly the maximum battery life we are getting. Charging-wise, we are possibly getting the same 10W wireless charging on the Galaxy Watch 8 . There will be two versions of the Galaxy Watch 8 : 40 and 44 mm ones. You will be able to get either one with LTE connectivity (great independency) or with GPS/Wi-Fi only that won't be very usable without a phone nearby. Here is how the Galaxy Watch 8 vs Galaxy Watch 7 specs will likely turn out: The Galaxy Watch 8 is shaping up to be mostly a design refresh, a gradual and logical evolution in comparison with the Galaxy Watch 7 . The most intriguing new feature could be the glucose monitoring feature, which could potentially be super useful to many people with diabetes. The fact that it will be non-invasive is an extra cherry on top. Should you upgrade from your Galaxy Watch 7 ? Given that the base specs and features of the two smartwatches are mostly the same, it doesn't seem like Galaxy Watch 7 users should feel compelled to upgrade, given the current ramblings of the rumor mill. Samsung's regular smartwatches have always been good value, so there is

The Galaxy Z Flip FE resurfaces — and it's looking very real
Samsung is said to unveil its next Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 foldable phones next month, both these phones have extensively leaked, and we don't have much to wonder about them. However, leaks and rumors were less certain about the third member of the family, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE or Z Flip was earlier believed that this phone wouldn't come together with the Fold and Flip at the summer Unpacked. But now, more and more info shows that, actually, the Flip FE may come with its more expensive siblings after all. The Galaxy Z Flip FE has now been certified by the FCC (the Federal Communications Commission), which hints that it may indeed launch next month. The certification is for a Samsung smartphone carrying model number SM-F761U. Previous reports and Samsung's usual naming with model numbers suggest this may be the carrier-locked variant of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE for the U.S. Of course, the certification, firstly, confirms the existence of this phone, but it also hints at an imminent release. Additionally, it clearly indicates that the FE will be sold in the U.S. The listing doesn't reveal any specs or features of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Despite that, though, leaks have given us plenty of information to base our expectations on. According to rumors, the Flip FE will be a slightly tweaked Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a more affordable price. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to be similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 5, shown here. | Image Credit – PhoneArena Recently, the phone's South Korean price leaked, and it's pretty much good news. So far, Samsung has not made a Flip FE phone (Fan Edition), but usually, those models (Samsung has FE Galaxy S models) come with powerful insides and some corners cut to keep a lower price. A cheaper foldable is arguably exactly what the foldable market needs to start growing. The Galaxy Z Flip FE may come with a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display and a 3.4-inch cover screen, Exynos 2400e, and One UI 8. It is said to sport a dual-camera setup with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 4,000mAh battery. The Galaxy Z Flip FE will not face too much competition in the U.S. The current foldables by Samsung are quite expensive, and although cheaper models by China-based brands exist, they are not quite as popular as phones made by Samsung, Apple, or Google. Apple still doesn't make foldable iPhones (an iPhone Fold has been rumored for the end of 2026), and Google doesn't have a clamshell. The Flip FE will have to face the Motorola Razr, though. We only know its potential Korean price (and South Korea is probably where Samsung phones are cheapest, after all, it's Samsung's home country), the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to be cheaper than the premium Galaxy Z Flip 7 . Although a conversion of the South Korean price into a U.S. price may not be accurate (there are taxes and other elements impacting pricing for specific markets), just to get an idea, the Korean price translates to something around $740. It's important to note that the U.S. price or the European price is yet to leak, so don't take this price as final, of course. In my opinion, a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip phone is ideal for the market. I love the foldable design of clamshell foldables, but I'm usually not thrilled by their price. The foldables are expected to be introduced in an event in 'early July', as per rumors, during an Unpacked event. Samsung recently teased the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , underlining its thinness and 'Ultra' experience. The Fold is expected to be the star of the show.
