More screen. More to see and do.

The Galaxy Z Flip7’s new FlexWindow stretches edge to edge. That makes it feel less like a secondary screen and more like a fully capable surface that happens to fit in your palm.

At 4.1 inches, this is the biggest FlexWindow ever on a Galaxy Z Flip. Also the most useful. Glance at your schedule, reply to a message, control music, or frame up a high-res selfie without even opening the phone. It’s not just bigger — it’s brighter, sharper, and smoother than ever.

You get up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness with 120Hz refresh rate. The Flip’s FlexWindow stays easy to see, even under the midday sun. Vision Booster adds another layer of clarity, adjusting the display to match your surroundings so you don’t miss a beat.

Inside, the 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display takes over with the same smooth 120Hz experience. It’s built for everything from TikTok doomscrolls to late-night Netflix binges.

Whether open or closed, this is the most refined Flip experience yet — one that feels more like a full phone at every angle.

Thin but tough

The Galaxy Z Flip7 doesn’t just look sleeker — it is sleeker. Measuring just 13.7mm when folded and weighing only 188g, it’s the slimmest Galaxy Z Flip to date.

Slip it into your back pocket, side bag, or anywhere else your day takes you. It’s made to move with you, not slow you down.

But don’t let the slim profile fool you. This thing’s built like it means business.

The reengineered Armor FlexHinge is thinner than before but stronger where it counts.

The outer shell is wrapped in Armor Aluminum and toughened up with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. That ought to give you enough peace of mind through clumsy moments, crowded commutes, and coffee shop drops.

Smarter, more capable

Samsung’s latest Flip phone combines an enhanced FlexWindow with Galaxy AI to make everyday tasks faster and easier. Reply to messages, search with your voice, and access key features — all without opening the phone.

Running One UI 8 on Android 16, it brings personalized AI experiences right to the cover screen, including custom wallpapers, widgets, and suggestions tailored to your day.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE

The newest member of the Flip family, the Z Flip7 FE folds small but lives large.

It features a 6.7-inch immersive main display and a 50MP FlexCam for hands-free selfies in Flex Mode.

Quick updates like weather and commute alerts show up on the cover screen, perfectly designed for its sleek, compact frame.

Available in Black and White (online exclusive) — simple, smart, and ready to fold into your life.

TikTok finally gets a buyer in the United States

The deal targets a closing date in late January.

Published

The year started with a ban. A day before Donald Trump started his second term, TikTok went dark, in anticipation of an impending ban. The platform quickly went back online, leading to an ultimatum that saw TikTok hunt for an American buyer to full stave off a definitive ban in the United States. Now, as the year ends, a buyer is finally here.

Via CNBC, TikTok has reportedly inked a deal to finalize a deal in the United States, as stated in an internal memo from CEO Shou Zi Chew. The memo, which was sent just this week, details a plan that will see the deal close by January 26, 2026.

Fifty percent of TikTok’s newly restructured U.S. arm will be held by a collection of American investors including Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. Meanwhile, already existing investors of TikTok will hold 30.1 percent. Finally, ByteDance will retain 19.9 percent.

Additionally, TikTok’s algorithm in the United States will be retrained with American data. The American arm will also handle the country’s “data protection, algorithm security, content moderation, and software assurance.” Oracle will be the “trusted security partner” in charge of making sure the company keeps within regulations in the country.

With a deal pushing through, the long-running TikTok saga in the United States might finally come to a close.

Silksong is getting its first major expansion next year

The expansion is called Sea of Sorrow.

Published

I still can’t believe that Hollow Knight: Silksong came out this year. After years of just waiting for the mythical title, it’s surreal to have it in my library. Now, barely waiting to catch their breath, Team Cherry is already working hard towards the next content drop, starting with Silksong DLC.

Just like the original Hollow Knight, Silksong is getting free DLCs to expand its story. The upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC will be the game’s “first big expansion.”

The expansion’s trailer barely shows anything about the new content, besides vague allusions to what’s coming. At the very least, Team Cherry has confirmed, both via the announcement and the accompanying poster, that Sea of Sorrow will be nautical-themed.

It will feature new locations, new tools, and new enemies. By itself, Silksong is already a huge game. Adding more content then is a massive undertaking. Plus, Team Cherry says that this is just the first expansion, hinting at more coming in the future.

Sea of Sorrow will launch in 2026.

Besides the new expansion, the studio is also working on a Nintendo Switch 2 update for the original Hollow Knight. It will add higher framerates, resolutions, and more graphical effects. PC players will also get some upgrades to support larger screens.

The Switch 2 update, which will be free for those who already own the original game, will also launch next year.

Supergirl gets its first teaser trailer

Milly Alcock stars as the titular character.

Published

Before the new year starts, it’s already fair to assume that Supergirl might be one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Premiering a year after the globally successful Superman, Supergirl will see the adventures of Clark Kent’s superpowered cousin, Kara Zor-El. Now, the next film in the sage finally has a teaser trailer.

As James Gunn mentioned previously, Supergirl will be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Off traveling to other planets to party, Kara finds herself thrust back into the role of being a hero after a young girl named Ruthye Mary Knoll asks her for help.

Though the teaser trailer is mostly a montage of scenes, we already know what we can expect. According to Gunn, Supergirl will be tonally different from Superman, and we see this in the trailer.

However, we can still see influences from Gunn including the usage of “Call Me” by Blondie for the trailer. Also, the film’s space scenes look like they can fit right in with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Still, that’s what we have, and we’re excited. Supergirl will premiere on June 26, 2026.

The film will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella). Milly Alcock plays the titular character. Meanwhile, she will star alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knoll.
