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.

vivo has officially announced the global launch of the X300 Ultra, marking the first international debut of its top-tier imaging flagship.
The device introduces the ZEISS Master Lenses Collection, featuring triple prime focal lengths at 14mm, 35mm, and 85mm. It supports up to 200MP output across key focal lengths and can extend reach to 200mm and 400mm using optional telephoto extenders.
A 200MP 85mm telephoto camera with gimbal-level stabilization and 60fps AF tracking enables detailed long-range shots. Meanwhile, the 35mm camera uses a large Sony LYTIA sensor for natural perspective and improved low-light performance.

For video, the X300 Ultra supports multi-focal 4K 120fps recording in both 10-bit Log and Dolby Vision formats. It also introduces Pro Video mode with LUT support and compatibility with ACES workflows for advanced color grading.
The phone runs on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with a dedicated imaging chip. It packs a 6600mAh battery with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.
Other features include a 2K ZEISS Master Color Display, quad-mic audio recording system, IP68/IP69 durability, and up to five years of OS updates.
Pricing and availability will depend on the region.
Allbirds is an odd shoe company. Though it already enjoyed a cult following in some circles around the world, the brand suddenly expanded its reach everywhere, offering a lighter and more environment-friendly alternative to the usual suspects of the shoe world. Now, getting even odder, Allbirds is ditching the shoes and going barefoot into the world of AI.
It’s one of the oddest transitions in the corporate world. In an official statement, Allbirds has confirmed that it will pivot fully into a “fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service and AI-native cloud solutions provider.” From Allbirds, it will be known as NewBird AI.
It’s not an incredibly abrupt change, though. The shoe brand and its stores won’t disappear overnight. The company will still hold a shareholder vote on May 18. If approved, they will transition into the new brand gradually.
The transition to AI, itself a gremlin of a keyword in today’s financial world, has resulted in the company’s stock value rising up. However, its long-term viability is in question, especially for a company with no experience in a world already drowning in AI.
From last year to today, AI has been the darling child of investors and a plague to consumers. While the former salivates over the short-term gain of AI adoption, the latter ruminates on the technology’s projected effects on the world.

vivo has announced the vivo X300 FE, a compact flagship built around pro-grade imaging, long battery life, and extended software support.
The device features a ZEISS co-engineered camera system, led by a 50MP Super Telephoto camera with up to 200mm equivalent focal length via the all-new Telephoto Extender Gen 2. It also includes a 50MP main camera alongside a 110° ultra-wide lens.
This camera system is designed for flexible shooting across travel, concerts, and street photography.

AI imaging powers much of the experience, with features like AI True Clarity Engine, Stage Mode for low-light concerts, and AI editing tools such as AI Erase and AI Image Expander. Video capabilities go up to 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps.
The X300 FE adopts a compact flat design with a 6.31-inch display, weighing 191g and measuring 7.99mm thin. It comes in Mist Purple, Glow White, Luxe Black, and Urban Olive colorways.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. You should not confuse it though with the more superior Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
Moreover, it has a 6500mAh battery paired with 90W wired charging plus 40W wireless charging that the newer V70 series lacks.. It also features a vapor chamber cooling system for sustained performance.
Graphics by Vincenz Lee | GadgetMatch
The phone runs OriginOS 6 with cross-device features and promises five years of OS updates, seven years of security patches, and long-term smooth performance.
The vivo X300 FE also carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
Pricing and availability will depend on the region.
