Google has announced the launch of Gemini on Wear OS smartwatches from brands like Pixel, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and OnePlus. Supported on Wear OS 4 and above, Gemini will use the “same advanced AI models that make it so helpful on your phone.” This means “you’ll now have a consistent, smart assistant right on your wrist,” said Google.
The newly launched Galaxy Watch 8 series are the first smartwatches to come preloaded with Gemini as they run on One UI 8.0 Watch based on Wear OS 6. To start talking with Gemini on Wear OS smartwatches, simply say “Hey Google” (if you have the feature enabled), press and hold the side button on your watch, or tap on the Gemini app icon on your watch screen.
Gemini on Wear OS lets you speak naturally with your watch, understanding your speech patterns and delivering fast, concise responses right on your wrist. Further, your watch can now handle complex tasks that once required multiple steps on your phone. Gemini on Wear OS smartwatches works across your apps to accomplish these efficiently. Here are a few eexample prompts from Google:
On the go: When you need to leave soon for an appointment, just say, “What is the address for my dentist appointment today? Navigate there.”
While on a run or bike ride: Mid-workout, you can easily say, “Send a message to Nadja apologizing for running late,” or create a custom playlist by asking, “Create a playlist for a 10-minute-mile run”
Before a meeting: Quickly catch up on communications by asking Gemini, “Summarize my last email from Emily.”
Planning on the fly: If you hear about an upcoming event you want to join, instantly add it to your calendar: “Add my son’s next five baseball games to my calendar.”
Gemini can also tap into your Google services, like Gmail and Google Calendar. To take action with these apps, make sure to enable them within the Gemini app settings on your paired phone and grant the necessary permissions.
Gemini is starting to roll out to Wear OS watches running Wear OS 4+ over the coming weeks. Watches upgrading to Wear OS 6 will also include support with your watch brand’s own apps, so you can keep using the apps you use everyday, according to Google.
Samsung, alongside the new foldables, also announced the Galaxy Watch 8 series, including the Watch 8 and the Watch 8 Classic. The company also announced the Watch Ultra 2025 which comes in a new Titanium Blue colour, has more storage than last year’s model, and has the latest Wear OS 6-based One UI 8 Watch software.

If you’ve ever admired the promise of Samsung foldable phones but found them a bit bulky or cumbersome, Samsung may have finally turned a corner with the Galaxy Z Fold7.
After spending time with the device ahead of its global debut, one thing is clear: this is Samsung’s most refined foldable yet and the design changes—not the specs—feel like the biggest leap forward. Here is our first impression of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Thinner, Lighter, and Genuinely More Pocketable
At 215 grams and just 8.9mm thick when folded, the Fold7 is the first device in the Fold series that truly feels close to a regular smartphone in hand. Compared to the Fold6, which already trimmed down its dimensions, the Fold7 goes even further, without compromising durability.
The new Armor FlexHinge plays a key role here. It’s been re-engineered with a multi-rail structure that not only reduces the crease but also makes the entire device feel sturdier during repeated folds. When unfolded, the Fold7 measures just 4.2mm thick, thanks to a redesigned hinge and a thinner internal display reinforced with Titanium plates and 50% thicker Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG).
Simply put, this is the first time a Galaxy Fold doesn’t feel like a tech prototype. It feels ready for daily use.
A Display That Finally Makes Sense (Even When Folded)
The external 6.5-inch cover screen now adopts a 21:9 aspect ratio, making it feel less cramped and more usable for one-handed texting or casual browsing. This was a long-standing issue with earlier Folds, and Samsung has addressed it well.
The internal 8.0-inch AMOLED Display is 11% larger than the Fold6, with peak brightness reaching 2,600 nits, making it easier to use outdoors. The extra real estate is ideal for multitasking, something Samsung is doubling down on with One UI 8, which enables split-screen editing, floating apps, and improved drag-and-drop functionality.
AI That Actually Enhances Daily Use
Yes, the Fold7 packs the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, but what stands out more is how well it handles Samsung’s growing AI toolkit which is part of UI 8.
Generative Edit, Photo Assist, and Audio Eraser are now more proactive. For example, you can erase background noise or photobombers with a single tap and even get AI suggestions before you ask. These features existed in Fold6 but were more manual and less intuitive.
The AI-enhanced multitasking also makes better use of the larger screen. You can see original and edited versions of photos side by side, or keep reference material open while working on documents—all in a single view. For creative users, this turns the Fold7 into a pocket-sized productivity studio.
Camera Takes a Serious Step Up
Samsung has brought its 200MP Wide-Angle camera to a foldable for the first time, a big jump from the 50MP sensor in the Fold6. Combined with AI-powered image processing and Night Video, the Fold7 performs better in challenging lighting conditions and captures noticeably more detail in everyday shots, as evident in the few shots we took in the demo zone. We will need to test them in real-world situations to share more details, which will be addressed during our review.
Having said that, the triple-lens setup (including 3x optical zoom) won’t rival the S25 Ultra’s versatility, but it closes the gap significantly enough that the camera no longer feels like a compromise on the Fold line.
Fewer Compromises
Battery power remains at 4,400mAh, with 25W Fast charging and wireless charging support, but it appears to be the weakest link in the Fold 7.
Connectivity is up to date with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and security is enhanced through Samsung’s new KEEP system ( we have yet to test it) , which isolates sensitive App data within secure storage layers.
Storage options now include up to 1TB with 16GB of RAM, and colours include Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jet Black and an online-exclusive Mint.
First impression Samsung Galaxy Fold 7
While last year’s Galaxy Z Fold6 brought noticeable improvements, it still felt like a niche device for enthusiasts. With the Z Fold7, Samsung is clearly aiming for a broader audience that can afford it. The thinner design, practical display ratio, and AI integration finally make the foldable form factor feel less experimental and more like the future of the smartphone.
Whether that’s enough to convert traditional smartphone users remains to be seen. But for the first time, the Galaxy Fold feels like a fully realised product, not just a showcase of what could be.
When Samsung launched its first Galaxy Z Flip back in 2020, the appeal was mostly aesthetic—foldable nostalgia meets modern tech. Fast forward to 2025, and with the new Galaxy Z Flip7 and the more accessible Flip7 FE, it feels like the company is finally delivering on the form factor’s full potential.
The Flip7’s larger FlexWindow and the Flip7 FE’s more affordable price point aren’t just minor refinements—they address two of the most persistent criticisms of past Flip models: limited functionality when closed, and premium pricing that left mainstream users out.
Galaxy Z Flip7: The Flip Finally Feels Fully Functional
The biggest upgrade on the Z Flip7 is one you can see without even opening the phone: a 4.1-inch edge-to-edge FlexWindow. Compared to the smaller, more confined cover screen on the Flip6, the new layout feels far less like a widget strip and more like a functional second screen.
Typing quick replies, checking your schedule, and snapping selfies no longer feel like workaround tasks—you can do more without ever unfolding the phone. Samsung’s Vision Booster and 2,600-nit brightness make the FlexWindow readable outdoors, addressing another limitation from earlier Flip models.
The main screen also stretches slightly to 6.9 inches, adding room for immersive viewing. It’s a small bump in size, but with One UI 8’s improved multitasking and Galaxy AI’s multimodal integration, it gives off a more complete, smart-device experience.
In comparison, the Flip6—with its smaller cover display and narrower software support—felt like a flip phone that happened to be smart. The Flip7 is a smart device that just happens to fold.
Flip7: Hardware Polished, Not Overhauled
From a design perspective, the Flip7 hasn’t reinvented itself, but it’s noticeably more refined. The hinge is thinner and sturdier, the frame is lighter at 188g, and Corning Gorilla GlassVictus 2 adds protection without bulk. Combined with a 4,300mAh battery—the biggest yet in a Flip—it’s a package that feels ready for real-world, all-day use.
Under the hood, the Exynos 2500 chip is expected to help in AI processing and power efficiency and new software perks like Samsung DeX support turn the Flip into a makeshift workstation. That’s a first for a flip-style foldable and a feature that nudges the Flip7 closer to Galaxy Fold territory.
Galaxy Z Flip7 FE: Finally, a Foldable That Doesn’t Break the Bank
If the Flip7 is about finishing the premium foldable formula, the Flip7 FE is about democratizing it. This isn’t a stripped-down compromise—it’s a carefully trimmed device that still delivers key foldable experiences.
The 6.7-inch main display is almost identical to its pricier sibling, and the 3.4-inch cover screen, although smaller and featuring a notch, remains perfectly functional for essentials. It doesn’t offer the immersive FlexWindow experience, but for users new to foldables—or simply unwilling to pay a flagship price—it delivers surprising value.
Flip7 FE’s 8GB RAM and Exynos 2400 Chipset signal a deliberate effort to strike a balance between performance and cost. For casual users, this could be the first foldable that makes more financial sense than a slab smartphone.
Camera and AI: Smart Enough for Daily Use
Both models feature the 50MP FlexCam, and while serious photography still favors the Galaxy S series, these are no slouches. AI-enhanced image processing and features like Real-Time Filters and Dual Preview elevate the selfie game, particularly on the Flip7, where the FlexWindow acts as a real-time viewfinder.
New AI tools like Gemini Live on the cover screen feel less like gimmicks and more like integrated utilities. From setting travel reminders to grabbing dinner reservations, the voice interface—and Samsung’s new emphasis on multimodal interaction—makes the Flip feel smarter than before.
First Impression Flip7 and Flip 7 FE: A Flip for Everyone?
The Galaxy Z Flip7 doesn’t radically change what a flip phone is, but it refines nearly everything that came before it. The bigger FlexWindow alone makes the upgrade from Flip6 worth considering for users who rely on one-handed use and need more functionality without flipping open the device.
The Flip7 FE, meanwhile, marks a major step forward for affordability in the foldable space. Samsung has made flip phones more useful—and now, more accessible.
Foldables still aren’t mainstream, but for the first time, the Flip series feels like it belongs in more pockets than just those of early adopters. And that might be the biggest shift of all.

Microsoft EDGE performance has been given a boost by Microsoft with even faster and more responsive BrowserUI than before. Microsoft says this was made possible “through a cumulation of efforts of the past few months,” allowing it to reach a major milestone of achieving a global First Contentful Paint (FCP) below 300ms.
Introduced by Google in Chrome in 2017, “FCP measures how long it takes the browser to render the first piece of DOM content after a user navigates to your page. Images, non-white elements, and SVGs on your page are considered DOM content.” Microsoft noted that “industry research shows that waiting longer than 300 to 400ms for the initial content can significantly impact user satisfaction.”
With the boost in Microsoft Edge performance, the company met this critical threshold to ensure that the “most used browser features appear almost instantly, letting you engage with the content sooner.”
“This achievement not only aligns with widely recognized web performance standards but also underscores our commitment to delivering industry-leading speed,” said Microsoft. Since February 2025, when Microsoft gave Edge its previous performance boost, the company says it has dramatically reduced load times by an average of 40%, and achieved greater responsiveness, for 13 browser features, such as:
Workspaces: from the moment you open a page, tasks feel more responsive and intuitive, allowing you to dive into your work without delay.
Settings: you can now more quickly load and navigate to the browser settings and customize your browsing experience.
Read aloud: to experience AI-powered reading of webpages in more languages, accents, and voices—all with reduced startup time and smoother playback.
Split screen: effortlessly switch between tasks and windows with near-instant navigation and less loading delays.
This has been made possible thanks to the shift to WebUI 2.0. According to Microsoft, the new markup-first architecture helps cut down the size of code bundles and JavaScript executed during UI initialization.
Microsoft says that in the coming months, one can expect additional performance improvements across more features, including Print Preview, Extensions, and more.
