Welcome to episode 62 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, we’re prepping for all things Pixel 10. With Made By Google officially announced for August 20th, we have less than five weeks to go until new Google hardware hits our desk. From phones to wearables, earbuds to foldables, there’s a lot to look forward to — and frankly, it might all boil down to some software secrets we don’t know much about yet.
If you’re impatiently waiting for word on when Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone might finally hit the market, you might not have to wait much longer — even if it means getting beat to the punch by the only other tri-foldable in town.

Although Samsung took the stage at Unpacked last week to debut an all-new trio of foldables, we’re still waiting for the company’s long-rumored tri-fold smartphone. Now, a new trademark registration might be giving away its eventual name before we even get a real tease.

Samsung’s latest lineup of foldables might’ve launched just last week, but as a new leak shows, that doesn’t mean we’re done with Galaxy devices for the year.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 represent a big leap forward for Samsung’s mobile arm, but they’re far from perfect devices. In a new interview, we’re getting some insight into the sacrifices made to achieve these new designs, and whether the S Pen could make a comeback in the future.

This week’s Unpacked might have been Samsung’s most successful launch in ages. Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 offer some pretty substantial improvements over their direct predecessors, with slimmer builds and larger displays — exactly what fans have been asking for. And while neither device is perfect, they each go a long way in quelling discussions around Samsung’s recent output.

Welcome to episode 61 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, we’re unpacking Galaxy Unpacked, exploring everything Samsung announced at this week’s foldable-focused event.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 has arrived with a whole slate of upgrades — at the cost of S Pen support, that is. But despite this year’s big-screen foldable feeling wholly reinvented, there’s one element that’s gone ignored for yet another year: battery capacity.

Unpacked came and went without an expected tease of its long-rumored tri-fold device, but it sounds like fans won’t be waiting too much longer to get our hands on it.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 appear to be what Samsung fans and critics alike have been demanding from the company for generations. Slimmer builds, larger displays, and even more powerful chipsets — what’s not to like? But ironically enough, Samsung might be hoping its latest Z-series lineup is enough to convince anyone with an aging Note device to make the plunge, even as S Pen compatibility is ripped away from that big, foldable display.

Samsung’s latest foldables are finally here, and in many ways, they’re the next-gen leaps we’ve been begging the company to make. From the ultra-thin — albeit not record-setting — Galaxy Z Fold 7 to the expansive cover screen found on the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it’s looking like a great year to upgrade, and thankfully, Samsung’s trade-in program is here to help.
