Introduction When it comes to making flagship smartphones, Samsung knows better than most how hard engineering these devices can be. Remember the explosive Galaxy Note 7 and the original, highly breakable Galaxy Fold?

But US shoppers can currently bag a pair from Amazon for $60 – that’s 40% off an already keen price. UK customers unfortunately don’t get a discount on this model this time around. But, you can save on the Pro model which has been…

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked foldable phone launch event is taking place later today, but there have been several leaks over the last couple of days that are confirming a lot of the leaked information I’ve seen previously. A large edge-to-edge cover display for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 seems to be in the offing thanks to a hands on leak (via SamMobile), while we’ve also heard the new flip is 0.2in bigger than its predecessor at 6.9in. But perhaps more interestingly. there’s an interesting observation from serial leaker Roland Quandt – namely that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn’t appear to…
