Just two days out from Unpacked, it’s time for yet another foldables leak from Samsung. This time, though, we could be looking at at least one surprising detour from previous rumors.

Welcome to episode 60 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will talk through Nothing’s latest launch event, including the company’s first flagship Android phone, the Nothing Phone (3). From its divisive design to its new Glyph Matrix display, there’s a lot to take in, as the company seemingly pivots towards a more premium market.
The trio also speculate on what Gemini’s new four-color icon could mean for the future of Google as a company. Is this simply about aligning the logo with Google’s standard theming, or does it tell us something about where Search and Gemini are headed in the future?
Samsung might have a foldable launch on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean a new leak can’t have us looking forward to what’s next for its non-folding flagships.

You might feel like Samsung’s upcoming slate of foldables couldn’t possibly leak anymore than they already have, but you’d be wrong. We’re getting our first hands-on images of a real-world Galaxy Z Fold 7 today, and it’s looking as promising as expected.

The Nothing Phone (3) isn’t the company’s first real foray into the US — that’d be 2023’s $600 Nothing Phone (2) — but it does feel like it’s the first time the brand is taking this market seriously. I’m not sure it’s the right device.

While the OnePlus 13 series seems to have the company set on its 2025 flagship ambitions, it’s usually this time of year when the Nord-series of affordable budget devices make a splash, and this year is no different.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is looking like Samsung’s first big swing at a foldable redesign in years, but that doesn’t mean everything compared to last generation is changing.

In addition to today’s One UI 8 Watch beta release, Samsung’s keeping the train rolling with a third beta release for One UI 8, complete with a new trick for Now Brief.

With less than two weeks to go until Unpacked, every Galaxy Z Flip 7 leak seems to agree on one thing: Samsung is finally delivering on a larger cover screen for its 2025 flip phone. It’s what Samsung fans have been asking for since the Moto Razr+ launch last year — and the arrival of Motorola’s successor models last month. This change should feel like as large of a leap forward as you can find in smartphones, and yet, without some crucial changes to One UI, I’m not sure it’s going to be enough to steal back the Razr’s flip phone crown.

Samsung might have confirmed July 9th as the date for its next Unpacked event, but thanks to a pair of new leaks, you might not have to wait that long to find out color options — or pricing — for your next foldable.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is (officially, finally) around the corner, and all of the most recent leaks have pointed to a pretty substantial upgrade. That’s a big change for Samsung, who have allowed its lead in the foldable race to diminish fairly rapidly since, say, the days of the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

It’s far later into 2025 than Samsung likely hoped for, but its Exynos 2500 chipset is finally official, just ahead of next month’s rumored Unpacked.

According to reporting from The Bell, the Tensor G5 swap is being called “the Google incident” internally, with this drama apparently serving as some sort of wake-up call to the company as a whole.
