Samsung’s new Foldable phones: chip choices for US buyers

Samsung is set to launch its latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, 2025, in New York City. A budget-friendly Z Flip 7 FE is also expected. These devices promise slimmer designs and better performance, but the chipsets powering them are causing a stir among U.S. fans.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip worldwide, offering top-notch speed and efficiency. However, the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE will feature Samsung’s Exynos 2500 and Exynos 2400 chips, respectively, even in the U.S., where Snapdragon chips were typically used.
This shift has raised some eyebrows, as Snapdragon chips are often seen as more powerful and efficient.The Exynos 2500, a 3nm chip, brings solid improvements like better graphics, longer battery life, and support for satellite connectivity in emergencies.
Still, some worry it might not match the Snapdragon’s performance, especially in thin devices like the Z Flip 7, where heat management is tricky.
Benchmark tests show the Exynos 2500 scoring slightly lower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but real-world performance is yet to be tested.Samsung’s move to Exynos chips could help control costs and reduce reliance on Qualcomm.
While U.S. customers might miss the Snapdragon advantage, the Exynos chips are designed to deliver a smooth experience with enhanced AI features and gaming capabilities. We’ll know more after the launch, but Samsung’s bold choice is worth watching.

One UI 8 to introduce a new security hub

Samsung is working on a fresh feature for its Galaxy devices with the upcoming One UI 8 update, based on Android 16. This new addition, called the Alert Center, aims to boost the safety and privacy of your phone. It was spotted in a beta version by Assemble Debug, as reported by Android Authority, and will likely appear in the phone’s Settings under Security and Privacy.
The Alert Center will act like a smart dashboard, showing you important notifications about your device’s security. It will warn you about risks like harmful apps, outdated software, or problems with your Google or Samsung account. You might also get reminders to set up features like fingerprint or face unlock, or to enable Find My Mobile.
Some alerts will include quick-action buttons, like “Go to update,” making it easy to fix issues fast.This feature is designed to help you stay on top of your phone’s safety, offering tips to resolve problems and keep your data secure.
While it’s not out yet, the Alert Center is expected to launch with the stable One UI 8 update this summer, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. For now, it’s being tested in the One UI 8 beta on the Galaxy S25 series. Keep an eye on Samsung’s official channels for updates!
Google’s new feature to sync Android devices

Google is developing a cool new tool for Android called “Handoff,” which lets you smoothly switch tasks between your devices. Found in a recent check of Google Play Services v25.25.31 beta, this feature will let you access apps, media, and notifications across all your Android gadgets.
It’s like starting a video call on your phone and easily moving it to your tablet without any hassle.This Handoff feature also syncs notifications, so you won’t have to clear the same alerts on multiple devices. You can share files and media between devices, too. Plus, with a tool called “App Cast,” you might even stream apps from one device to another, making it super easy to pick up where you left off.
Apple has a similar feature called Handoff, which lets you continue tasks across iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Samsung also offers something like this with its App Continuity for Galaxy devices. Google’s version, though, seems to go further by including notification syncing, which even Apple doesn’t do.
Since it’s built into Google Play Services, this feature should work on most Android devices, not just Pixels. While it’s still in development and not fully working yet, Google is clearly aiming to make your Android experience more connected. No official release date has been shared, but we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
