You may be disappointed if you hoped that Samsung would enhance the charging speed for its future foldable devices. Recently leaked certifications confirm that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will maintain the same wired charging speeds as their predecessors.
According to China’s 3C authority (via Android Headlines), which recently certified both handsets, both phones are expected to retain a charging speed of 25W and feature a dedicated Samsung EP-TA800 charger, which maxes out at 25W.
This news is disappointing, especially since the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra support 45W charging speeds. This situation is particularly concerning given that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, like their predecessors, are expected to be premium devices when unveiled later this year.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is anticipated to feature an upgraded 200MP primary camera. It will also have larger displays and a less prominent crease on the screen, making for a more seamless look. Additionally, this new model is expected to be thinner than its predecessor. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will have a more extensive cover display. Both devices are set to include improved chipsets.
However, beyond these enhancements, we do not expect many significant changes in either foldable device. Rumors indicate that Samsung is not planning substantial updates for the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip models until 2026.
Samsung will likely reveal its latest foldable devices at a Galaxy Unpacked event this summer. A Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 could also be shown at the same event, with release dates to follow soon.
The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
