Known tipster ICE CAT has posted some “exclusive information” on X today, claiming that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will launch as the thinnest foldable in the world. At 3.9mm when open and just 8.9mm when folded, the Z Fold 7 would beat both the Honor Magic V3 and the Oppo Find N5 (just about).
According to some exclusive information, the next direction of Samsung flagship machine is still to be thin and light, and the battery will be thin and thin, and the body will continue to be thin.

It will also leave its last foldable flagship, the Z Fold 6, in the dust by shaving off a massive 3.2mm while folded. The Oppo Find N5 measures at 4.21mm unfolded and 8.93mm folded, so it’s a very similar size to the Z Fold 7 numbers ICE CAT is sharing here.
The leaker also mentions that new battery and charging tech will be adopted, and the phone will use a 4,400mAh battery — which is the same capacity as both the Z Fold 6 and the Z Fold 5. This means it will be up to that new tech to improve efficiency and hopefully squeeze out some extra screen time. We don’t know any details yet, but we should find out more during the Galaxy Unpacked event in July — where both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 are expected to be unveiled.
The battery for the Z Flip 7 will be 4,300mAh, which is a step up from the Z Flip 6‘s 4,000mAh. As a last comment, ICE CAT mentions that “the basic version of Galaxy S26 will continue to be thin.”
The goal of a thin foldable phone is to ensure that it’s no thicker than a normal phone when folded — which sounds great, but a sub-4mm thickness when unfolded is getting extremely thin. Considering how this affects battery capacity and sturdiness, it may not seem worth it to some users. It will be interesting to see how Samsung sells the product during the Unpacked event and whether it addresses these kinds of concerns.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
