Samsung’s Tri-Fold Phone Is Ready But Launch Depends on Demand, Galaxy Tab S11 Series Set for September 2025 Launch

0

Highlights

  • Samsung has completed development of its first tri-fold phone but the launch is on hold as Samsung evaluates market demand.
  • Tri-fold is expected to feature a 10-inch AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Elite chip, titanium frame, and IP48 rating.
  • Samsung has confirmed a September 2025 launch for the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra.
  • Both will run Android 16 with One UI 8, feature MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chips and focus on Galaxy AI-powered multitasking.

We have heard about the Samsung Tri-Fold before but now comes the word from an official source. It appears Samsung has finished developing its first tri-fold smartphone, but it’s not ready to release it just yet. According to a company executive, the device is production-ready but Samsung is holding back to see if there’s enough real-world demand.

In a chat with Android Authority, the executive confirmed, “We’ve had a tri-fold for some time, designed and everything. So it’s not a new concept to us. What we’re debating is the viability. When I say the viability, is there really a demand for this form factor?Samsung clearly wants to avoid launching something that might be too ahead of its time.

Some reports have previously hinted that the Samsung tri-fold might be called the Galaxy G Fold, though it is not official.

Samsung Tri-Fold – What To Expect?

Reports suggest Samsung’s G Fold follows a G-shaped design with two inward folds to better protect the screen. This is different from what we have seen in Huawei’s outward-folding Mate XT, which uses an S-shaped design.

However, the G-shaped setup also requires a separate cover display. The G Fold is expected to be a high-end device priced over $3,000, compared to the $1,999 Galaxy Z Fold7, due to its complex engineering and premium materials.

Samsung has also added durability upgrades including a titanium frame and an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance. The phone is said to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Elite with a 10-inch AMOLED display when fully unfolded, taking aim at Huawei’s 10.2-inch Mate XT.

There’s talk that Samsung might quietly release the G Fold in limited quantities in South Korea and China later this year, possibly starting production in September to test how the market reacts. Still, with tri-folds making up just 1% of global smartphone sales in 2024 according to Counterpoint Research, Samsung is being cautious.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Series Set for September 2025 Launch

In another conversation with Android Authority, a Samsung South Africa official confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S11 series is on track for a September 2025 launch. It is not a surprise since this is completely in line with Samsung’s usual timeline.

The executive (as per Android Authority) said, “So Samsung will be announcing a (Galaxy Tab) refresh for the range coming through, shortly. In line with our traditional cadence.”

The new lineup will reportedly feature just two models, the Galaxy Tab S11 and the larger Tab S11 Ultra. If true, it would mean the company is dropping the “Plus” variant this time. The base model brings back the compact 11-inch AMOLED display, something many fans missed last year.

Both tablets will run on MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9400+ chip, an upgrade over last year’s Dimensity 9300+. They’ll ship with Android 16 and One UI 8, along with bigger batteries. The Tab S11 is said to pack an 8,400mAh battery, while the Ultra will keep its 14.6-inch display.

The focus will also be on Galaxy AI-powered features aimed at multitasking and improving cross-device performance. According to Geekbench leaks, the base model scored 1420 (single-core) and 5312 (multi-core), while the Ultra variant posted stronger numbers a few days later. The CPU scores of Tab S11 Ultra hit 2,675 points in single-core and 8,039 points in multi-core tests. As of now, it’s unclear if these scores reflect final performance or early testing.

Samsung is expected to open pre-orders closer to launch via Samsung.com and other major retailers.

iPhone 17 Air Tipped to Launch in Four Subtle Colours, Including a New Light Blue

0

Highlights

  • The iPhone 17 Air is tipped to launch in four soft-toned shades including Black, Silver, Light Gold, and a brand-new Light Blue.
  • The phone is expected to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet at just 5.5mm.
  • It may feature a 6.6-inch OLED display, A19 chip, 12GB RAM, and a single 48MP rear camera with a 24MP front camera.
  • Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 17 Air alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup in September.

The upcoming iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to arrive in four soft-toned colour options when it launches later this year. According to a new leak, one of these shades will be a brand-new blue that we haven’t seen on any iPhone before. Here’s what we know.

iPhone 17 Air Colour Variants Revealed

Shared by leaker Majin Bu in a detailed post recently, the colour lineup for the iPhone 17 Air includes four subtle shades. The leaker describes the colours as –

  • Black – “dark and understated”
  • Silver – “bright and clear”
  • Light Gold – “warm and soft, without being overly bold”
  • Light Blue – “delicate, fresh, modern,” and noticeably different from past blue iPhones

The Light Blue is the only entirely new shade here. It’s been previously described as so pale that it could almost look white in certain lighting. Majin Bu added that it closely resembles the Sky Blue finish available on the latest MacBook Air, which has led to speculation that Apple might even call it “Sky Blue” on the iPhone.

In leaked renders, the Light Blue stands out more clearly and is easily distinguishable from the Silver variant. With its unique look, it could end up being the highlight colour in Apple’s marketing for the iPhone 17 Air.

As a quick recap, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet, but it may come with a few trade-offs compared to the Pro models. These may include shorter battery life, a single rear camera, one speaker, and possibly an A19 or a slightly scaled-down A19 Pro chip.

Other expected features include a 6.6-inch OLED display, MagSafe support, and 12GB of RAM. Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 17 Air at its usual September event.

FAQs

Q1. What colour options will the iPhone 17 Air be available in?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Air will launch in four subtle shades: Black (“dark and understated”), Silver (“bright and clear”), Light Gold (“warm and soft”), and Light Blue (“delicate, fresh, modern”).

Q2. What are the expected specifications of the iPhone 17 Air?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display, MagSafe support, 12GB of RAM, and may be powered by an A19 or slightly scaled-down A19 Pro chip.

Q3. When is the iPhone 17 Air expected to launch?

Answer. Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 17 Air at its usual September event later this year.

Google Rolls Out AI Mode in Search for Indian Users, Here’s How It Works

0

Highlights

  • Google Search AI Mode now rolls out in India.
  • It delivers detailed, context-rich answers directly in Search, powered by the Gemini 2.5 model and “query fan-out” technique.
  • It is now rolling out widely in India without sign-up, though it currently supports only English.
  • It is accessible via the “AI Mode” tab in Search or the Google app.

Google is now rolling out its AI Mode in Search to users across India. This new feature is built right into the regular Google Search and brings detailed, AI-generated answers instead of just a list of links. You can ask anything, any way and get complete, context-rich responses directly in your search results.

Google first launched AI Mode in the U.S. earlier this year. It was introduced to Indian users via Search Labs in June, but now it’s being rolled out more widely and you don’t need to sign up anymore. For now, though, it’s only available in English.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the rollout for Indian users on X (formerly Twitter).

What Is Google AI Mode in Search?

AI Mode gives you a fully written-out response that pulls together information from all over the internet, instead of showing just websites. It’s especially helpful for layered or complex questions that would normally require multiple searches.

The system is powered by Google’s Gemini 2.5 model, which breaks your query into smaller parts, finds relevant content, and combines it into a neat, easy-to-read summary. You’ll also get links for more info and the option to ask follow-up questions.

Google says AI Mode shines when you’re exploring topics like comparing products, planning a trip, or understanding something technical. According to the company, users ask questions that are 2–3 times longer than usual, often looking for in-depth advice or guidance.

Behind the scenes, AI Mode uses a technique called “query fan-out” as it splits your question into smaller parts, does multiple searches, and pieces together the results into one helpful answer. This helps it go deeper and even uncover content that standard searches might miss.

How to Use Google Search AI Mode?

You can access AI Mode through a new “AI Mode” tab in your Google Search results or right from the Google app’s search bar. You can type your question, use voice input, or even upload a photo using Google Lens.

For example, take a picture of a plant and ask how to care for it. You’ll get step-by-step instructions and links to trusted sources.

Availability

Currently, AI Mode only supports English, though Google says more languages will come later. It’s also still experimental, so if the AI isn’t confident in its answer, you’ll still see regular search results.

The feature is rolling out gradually, so it may take a few days to appear for everyone on both desktop and mobile.

FAQs

Q1. What is Google AI Mode in Search and how does it work?

Answer. AI Mode gives you a fully written-out response that pulls together information from all over the internet, instead of showing just websites.

Q2. How can users access AI Mode in Google Search?

Answer. You can access AI Mode through a new ‘AI Mode’ tab in your Google Search results or right from the Google app’s search bar.

Q3. Is Google AI Mode available in multiple languages?

Answer. Currently, AI Mode only supports English, though Google says more languages will come later.
