Samsung may have already announced a number of devices this year, with the company having revealed its flagship Galaxy S smartphones in the Galaxy S25 series in January, followed by the mid-range Galaxy A series in March, but there’s still more to come. 

The company’s folding phones are expected to debut in the summer with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 both heavily rumoured, but there’s another device that’s been doing the rounds too in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.

Samsung uses the ‘Fan Edition’ or FE branding for devices that come in at a more affordable price point with a few compromises compared to the devices they are inspired by. With the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, the price hasn’t been leaked yet, but more specs have via GalaxyClub and it looks like it could be what is effectively the Galaxy Z Flip 5 with updated hardware.

What specs could the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE offer?

Renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE leaked the other day showing a design very similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 (and therefore the Galaxy Z Flip 5), but the leak from GalaxyClub claims the device will run on the Exynos 2400e, which was put into the Galaxy S24 FE. It is also said to offer 8GB of RAM. 

The report claims the specs are for the international version of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE and it’s possible regional devices may differ – the US model may have Qualcomm under the hood of example, as has been the case in other Samsung devices where Europe gets Exynos. 

In terms of the camera offering, the report suggests the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will have the same camera make up as the Z Flip 5, meaning a 12-megapixel main sensor, 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 10-megapixel front camera. 

It’s not yet clear whether the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will see an improvement in the battery department compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s 3,800mAh battery. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 4,000mAh capacity and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumoured to come with a 4,300mAh battery so here is hoping.

There is also no information on when this flip phone might appear so for now, take the specs above with a pinch of salt until there is something a little more official, but it’s interesting to see how an FE model of the Z Flip could shape up.

Samsung may bring Now Brief to more Galaxy smartphones
Now brief on the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Samsung’s popular new AI tool, Now Brief, might soon make its way beyond the Galaxy S25 to older models like the Galaxy S24. While Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed this yet, recent software clues suggest the company could roll out the handy AI assistant to a wider range of Galaxy devices.

X user MEMETCAN88 (via Android Authority) discovered that Now Brief was accessible on a Galaxy S24 phone by way of the activity launcher when using the One UI 7 beta. Further, additional users (via SamMobile) were able to access it with phones like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6.

The pending launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has been the subject of plenty of speculation, but it now seems that we’ve got a date for the announcement of this phone: April 15, 2025.

It comes just 2 months after the launch of the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S25 family, while being teased at Galaxy Unpacked, so we all knew this new slim phone was coming. The confirmation doesn’t come from Samsung itself – so there’s still potential that this could be wrong – but there’s now alignment across a couple of sources.

You’re locked out from using a top feature in latest Galaxy S24 software
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's lock screen and timer.

An examination of the latest beta version of Samsung’s One UI 7 software tested on the Galaxy S24 series has revealed a top feature has been locked away inside, leaving it unable to be used at this time. The feature is the Now Bar, which works a little like Apple’s Dynamic Island, except it lives at the bottom of the lock screen.

The feature is included in the beta version of One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24 series, but it’s not available for use by anyone who installs the software at this time, according to Sam Mobile. It claims the Now Bar is part of the software, but access is restricted. However, if you’re willing to dig around inside the software using an app designed to reveal hidden features, the Now Bar is there for all to see. Its presence suggests the feature may be activated when One UI 7 is publicly released for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
