Leaks: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Might be the Thinnest Foldable Yet https://techeconomy.ng/leaks-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7/ https://techeconomy.ng/leaks-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7/#respond Fri, 04 Jul 2025 13:44:05 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=162421 With just days to go until Samsung’s Unpacked event on July 9, 2025, in Brooklyn, all eyes are on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and if the growing pile of leaks is anything to go by, Samsung is about to redefine the competition in the foldable phone market with its thinnest and most refined device yet.

Leaked images circulating online, notably from tipster @Jukanlosreve, show a much slimmer and more polished Z Fold 7

The device reportedly measures just 4.2mm when open and 8.9mm folded, slimmer than any Galaxy Fold released so far, and thinner than its immediate predecessor, the Z Fold 6. 

This places Samsung in a head-to-head race with Chinese brands like Honor and Oppo, whose ultra-thin foldables have dominated the segment in recent months.

Samsung Accidentally Confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 Names via App Listing

In the leaked photographs, the Fold 7’s SIM tray appears to hug the frame tightly, hinting at the extremely compact internal design. The speaker grilles and microphone placements also suggest Samsung has optimised every inch of the chassis. 

One of the most interesting changes is the rear camera layout; gone are the chunky black rings seen on the Fold 6. In their place are sleeker silver rings that encircle each lens, an aesthetic choice that complements a striking new blue colour option dubbed “Blue Shadow”.

According to documentation from the EU’s smartphone product label, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will deliver 40 hours and 28 minutes of battery life per charge and maintain 80% battery health after 2,000 cycles. 

It’s been assigned an IP48 rating, making it resistant to water immersion, though still vulnerable to dust, and given a Class A drop resistance score. Repairability, however, is rated Class C, pointing to the fact that fixing it won’t be especially easy or cheap, which is still a common issue for foldable devices.

Internally, the Fold 7 is expected to come with upgraded displays: an 8-inch inner screen and a 6.5-inch cover screen, both slightly larger than those on the Fold 6. Rumours are swirling that a 200MP main camera sensor may be onboard, the same one featured in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, although Samsung has not confirmed this.

Software-wise, the Fold 7 will launch with One UI 7 built on Android 15. Samsung plans to expand its integration of AI capabilities with this device, including tools for real-time translation, smart note summarisation, and multitasking enhancements. In some markets, the device may ship with a bundled Google AI Pro subscription.

This year’s Unpacked event won’t stop with the Fold 7. Samsung is also tipped to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7, a new Watch 8 series, and potentially the company’s first tri-fold device, a prototype that may be branded the Galaxy G Fold. Updates on Project Moohan, Samsung’s XR headset collaboration with Google, are also expected.

The Korean tech giant appears to be betting big on its foldable devices in 2025. With leaks laying bare nearly every detail, the only surprises left may be in the price and availability.

7 Mind-Blowing Features in Google’s Latest Android 15 Upgrade https://techeconomy.ng/7-mind-blowing-features-in-googles-latest-android-15-upgrade/ https://techeconomy.ng/7-mind-blowing-features-in-googles-latest-android-15-upgrade/#comments Tue, 22 Oct 2024 09:35:58 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=146046 Google has officially unveiled Android 15, its biggest mobile software update to date. 

Built with innovative features, this upgrade includes enhanced security and seamless multitasking, making it a great option for modern users who value efficiency. 

Here are seven awesome features that make Android 15 actually commendable:

  1. Circle to Search: A Smarter Way to Share

One of the most innovative features in Android 15 is the Circle to Search tool. Users can simply circle a section of text or an image on their screen and instantly share it with others or conduct a search. This feature takes accessibility and content sharing to the next level, allowing users to quickly find and distribute information with ease.

  1. Partial Screen Recording for Greater Control

For those who regularly capture content, Android 15 introduces partial screen recording. This feature allows users to select specific areas of their screen to record, rather than recording the entire display. It’s particularly useful for sharing tutorials, app demonstrations, or personalised video snippets without the need for additional editing.

  1. Theft Detection Lock: Next-Level Security

Security is a key focus in this update, with the introduction of Theft Detection Lock. This feature uses advanced sensors to detect if a device has been stolen, automatically locking it to prevent unauthorised access. Combined with remote lock abilities, users can quickly secure their devices and sensitive information from any location.

  1. Enhanced Productivity on Foldables and Tablets

With Android 15, Google has optimised its system for foldable phones and tablets, allowing users to get more done on larger screens. A new app-pairing feature enables users to open two apps side by side, such as Gmail and Google Drive, for seamless multitasking. Users can also pin and unpin their taskbar for quicker access to frequently used apps.

  1. Gemini Integration: AI Assistance on a Global Scale

The Gemini assistant has been further integrated into Android 15, now supporting 45 languages and available in over 200 countries. This AI assistant is designed to assist users with everything from scheduling to managing smart devices, making it easier to stay organised and connected. As more languages and regions are added, Gemini seeks to become an even more essential tool for Android users globally.

  1. Hidden Space for Sensitive Apps

Keeping privacy in mind, Android 15 introduces a hidden space for sensitive apps. Users can create a secure space where banking, social media, or other confidential apps can be stored. These apps remain invisible unless unlocked by the user, ensuring privacy and protection from prying eyes.

  1. App Management for Improved Battery Life

Battery optimisation is a game-changer in this update. Android 15’s smarter app management system prioritises frequently used apps, limiting resource consumption by those used less often. This results in up to 20% longer battery life, allowing users to go through the day without worrying about charging their phones constantly.

Final Thoughts

With the host of improvements, Android 15 is here to make mobile operating systems far better than ever. The update will begin rolling out to Google Pixel devices first, followed by other brands in the coming months.

Google Launches Feature That Automatically Locks Your Android Phone When Snatched https://techeconomy.ng/google-launches-feature-that-automatically-locks-your-android-phone-when-snatched/ https://techeconomy.ng/google-launches-feature-that-automatically-locks-your-android-phone-when-snatched/#respond Thu, 16 May 2024 10:42:45 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=131518 Google is prioritizing user security with a range of new features in its Android 15 update, some of which will even benefit users with older Android versions.

Theft Detection Lock, an AI-powered feature, automatically locks the screen of your Android phone when it detects unusual motions usually associated with a phone being snatched. 

This includes the phone moving rapidly in the opposite direction it was held.

Google understands that thieves might try to circumvent security by taking the phone offline. To resolve this, an Offline Device Lock feature will lock the phone if there are repeated failed authentication attempts or if it’s disconnected from the network.

An upgraded factory reset protection makes stolen phones a less attractive target. Even if a thief resets the device, they’ll be unable to set it up again without the owner’s credentials, rendering it useless and unsellable.

In the event your phone goes missing, a new remote lock feature allows you to lock it from any device by visiting android.com/lock [invalid URL removed] and entering your phone number and a security challenge.

These features will be available later this year via a Google Play Services update for phones running Android 10 or later, extending these protections to a wider range of users.

While details are still emerging, Android 15 itself will introduce “private spaces” for isolating sensitive apps and information, and additional protections during factory resets.

Play Protect, Google’s built-in security system, is receiving an upgrade with live threat detection. This feature uses on-device AI to analyze how apps use sensitive permissions, looking for signs of phishing or fraud. 

If suspicious activity is detected, the app is flagged for further review by Google. This live threat detection will be available later this year on Pixel phones and phones from Honor, Lenovo, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, Sharp, Transsion and others.
