Galaxy Z Fold 7 revealed to be slimmer than Honor’s Magic V5 in a recently leaked comparison video. Samsung dropped S Pen support for Fold 7 to achieve a thinner design, using lighter components and a redesigned hinge.
Future stylus inclusion depends on tech improvements and demand.
Exynos 2600 chip for Galaxy S26 is still uncertain due to yield issues.

Honor recently claimed its new Magic V5 is the “world’s slimmest foldable,” but a side-by-side comparison with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 tells a different story. Despite Honor listing the Magic V5 at 8.8mm when folded and Samsung stating the Fold 7 is 8.9mm thick, a hands-on video suggests Samsung’s foldable may actually be thinner.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Honor Magic V5 – What the Video Shows?

Tech leaker @UniverseIce posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) comparing the two foldables. At first glance, both devices appear equally slim, but placing a card across the top reveals that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 edges out the Magic V5 ever so slightly. In fact, a small ball rolling along the card highlights the height difference even more.
There is no accurate measuring tool, but we can still draw a rigorous conclusion: Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest folding mobile phone in the world.

A micrometre reading also backs up this observation, showing that Samsung’s device is technically thinner. Another video even suggests the Magic V5 looks more like Oppo’s Find N5 in terms of thickness.
We have to thank folks at 9to5Google for combining the two videos and making it easier to understand the comparison. You can check out the joint video here –

While Honor claims 8.8mm for the Magic V5 (specifically the Ivory White variant), it’s possible the company is using a different measuring method. As of now, Honor hasn’t responded to the claims. Honor’s official website, however, adds the following text as a disclaimer to the 8.8mm measurement –
“Data comes from the HONOR Lab. 8.8mm refers to the thickness of the Ivory White model in the folded state. The overall thickness does not include the inner and outer screen protective films and the raised part of the camera… The actual data may vary depending on configurations, manufacturing processes and measurement methods. Please refer to the actual device.”
Samsung Explains Why Galaxy Z Fold 7 Dropped S Pen Support
In separate news, Samsung is finally being open about the changes made to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, especially the decision to drop S Pen support. In an interview with ET News, Samsung MXManaging Director Kang Min-seok admitted the move was intentional.

“The Fold 7 emphasised that consumers want a ‘thin and light product,” Kang said. “Please think of it as a ‘trade-off’ where you lose one if you choose one.”
Kang explained that removing features like the digitiser for S Pen, the under-display camera, and skipping battery or charging upgrades was all done to achieve the Fold 7’s ultra-slim 8.9mm profile.
Samsung isn’t done with the S Pen, though. Kang said they’re “researching and developing thinner and innovative technologies” to possibly bring the stylus back in future models when the “level of perfection” is high enough and consumer demand justifies it.
To make the Fold 7 lighter and thinner, Samsung reworked the frame and hinge. The new “Armor Flex” hinge is 27% thinner and 43% lighter than what was used on the Fold 6. The 8-inch foldable display is also 39% thinner and 43% lighter with a layer of titanium at the base to improve durability.
Even the 200MP camera sensor was made smaller, down by 18%, though the camera bump is still quite prominent. On the Flip 7, Samsung used high-density circuit boards to create more internal space, which helped increase battery capacity by 300mAh without making the device thicker.
Kang said both devices reflect Samsung’s goal of delivering products that are “perfected in all experiences”, even if some design choices remain controversial.
Meanwhile, there’s still uncertainty about whether Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip will power the upcoming Galaxy S26 series, expected to launch in January 2026. At a recent event, Park Yong-in, President of Samsung System LSI, said the chip is “progressing well” and teased “good results,” but didn’t confirm its use in the S26.
Interestingly, Samsung used the Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip7 and the Exynos 2400 in the Z Flip7 FE, breaking from its usual reliance on Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. But the Fold 7 stuck with Snapdragon, hinting that the Exynos 2500 might not have met performance or efficiency targets.
The Exynos 2600 reportedly faces yield issues, just like the 2500 did. Mass production requires at least 70% yield, and sources say the chip hasn’t hit that number yet. Samsung originally planned to use the Exynos 2500 for the Galaxy S25, but scrapped it in favour of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Elite.
So while Samsung is pushing its own chips, whether the Exynos 2600 powers the S26 will ultimately depend on whether the company can get production levels high enough in time.
FAQs
Q1. Is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 thinner than Honor’s Magic V5 foldable?
Answer. Despite official specs listing Fold 7 at 8.9mm and Magic V5 at 8.8mm, hands-on videos and micrometre readings suggest the Fold 7 may actually be slimmer.
Q2. Why did Samsung remove S Pen support from the Galaxy Z Fold 7?
Answer. Samsung prioritized a thinner design by removing the digitizer for S Pen, under-display camera, and skipping battery upgrades to achieve the 8.9mm profile.
Q3. Will the Galaxy S26 use the Exynos 2600 chip?
Answer. Samsung hasn’t confirmed it yet; the chip faces yield issues and must hit a 70% production threshold before it can be used in mass-market devices like the S26.

Apple’s much-anticipated foldable iPhone is in the spotlight again and this time it’s because of a key detail. Streets are saying we might get to see a crease-free folding display made by Samsung Display for the first foldable iPhone. Here’s more on that.
Foldable iPhone To Get Crease-Free Display, Thanks to Samsung
According to the recent word by well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Samsung will be the sole supplier of the foldable screen and Apple won’t be customising the panel this time, something it almost always does with hardware components. That makes this move particularly surprising.
Kuo says the foldable iPhone will use a “crease-free” display, made possible by a special metal plate that controls and spreads out the stress caused by repeated folding. These plates will be supplied mainly by Fine M-Tec, a company Apple will be working closely with.
It is interesting to remind our readers that Samsung’s own Galaxy Z Fold 7 still shows a visible crease on its foldable screen. So if the iPhone really ends up being crease-free, Samsung Display is likely building a special version just for Apple.
That raises the question, why hasn’t Samsung used this new tech in its own foldables, especially when it also uses metal plates from Fine M-Tec?
Foldable iPhone With Better Hinge, Better Fold
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman earlier reported that Apple’s foldable iPhone would feature a “much higher-quality hinge”, designed to create a nearly invisible crease when unfolded.
The hinge design plays a major role in making a foldable screen durable and smooth. Kuo explains that this metal plate and hinge combo is essential to controlling the stress on the display and preventing it from creasing over time.

Apple will reportedly take this a step further by using laser drilling to build microstructures inside the display. These microstructures will guide stress more evenly across the screen, enhancing durability and crease resistance. Fine M-Tec is expected to start shipping these metal plates in early 2026, at a cost of around $30–$35 each.
Foldable iPhone Specs and Launch Timeline
Apple is reportedly planning to begin mass production in the second half of 2026, meaning the foldable iPhone could launch sometime that year. According to earlier reports, the device is expected to feature –
8-inch inner display
5-inch outer display
Two rear cameras
One front camera
Touch ID power button (instead of Face ID)
When unfolded, the foldable iPhone could measure about 4.5mm in thickness, and around 9–9.5mm when folded. That makes it slightly thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which measures 4.2mm unfolded and 8.9mm folded.
Foldable iPhone – Shipments and Production Scale
Kuo estimates that 13–15 million metal plates will be shipped in 2026. However, that doesn’t mean Apple will sell that many foldable iPhones. The higher number includes extra plates needed to account for manufacturing yield losses and repair stock.
Several South Korean publications have also reported that Samsung Display will be supplying the folding screens for Apple’s upcoming device, adding more weight to the rumour.
FAQs
Q1. Who will supply the crease-free display for Apple’s first foldable iPhone?
Answer. Samsung Display will be the sole supplier of the crease-free screen, using metal plates from Fine M-Tec to control folding stress and enhance durability.
Q2. What are the expected specifications of Apple’s foldable iPhone?
Answer. It’s expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display, 5.5-inch outer display, two rear cameras, one front camera, Touch ID power button, and a thickness of 4.5mm unfolded.
Q3. When is Apple likely to launch its foldable iPhone?
Answer. Mass production is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with launch likely that same year; Apple aims to set new standards with a crease-free design.

iPhone 17 Air will be the only model with a titanium-aluminium alloy frame, while Pro models reportedly revert to lighter aluminium instead of titanium.
A19 chip debut confirmed for the iPhone 17 lineup.
iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max are getting 12GB RAM while the regular model retains 8GB.
Apple introduced a titanium build for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max about two years ago. The material continued to set the Pro lineup apart with the iPhone 16 series. But this year, things are changing in a surprising way. According to reports, only one iPhone 17 model will come with a titanium build and it’s not a Pro. Here’s everything we know so far.
iPhone 17 Air Will Be the Only Model with Titanium

Previous early leaks about the iPhone 17 lineup hinted at some major shifts in materials. According to The Information, Apple is planning to drop titanium from the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models. Instead, these high-end phones will reportedly go back to aluminium frames, just a couple of years after the titanium debut.
But analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says titanium isn’t gone for good. He claims the upcoming iPhone 17 Air will be the only model to feature titanium. Specifically, Kuo notes it will use a “titanium-aluminium alloy metal frame, with a lower percentage of titanium than the current Pro and Pro Max metal frames.”
So, it’s a hybrid frame, but still the only one in the lineup using any titanium at all.
Caption – iPhone 17 series previously leaked image of dummy units.
Industry analyst Jeff Pu also confirmed this in his latest research, backing up the claim that titanium is coming to the iPhone 17 Air.
What’s surprising is that Apple has always pushed titanium as a ‘Pro’ feature, something exclusive and premium. Yet now, it’s appearing in the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to be a more affordable and lightweight model.
If Apple were going back to stainless steel for the Pro models, titanium on the Air could be explained as a way to save weight. But since the Pro models are supposedly switching to aluminium, which is a material that’s even lighter than titanium, this decision doesn’t quite add up.
iPhone 17 to Run on New A19 Chip
Meanwhile, we also have an update on the possible chip iPhone 17 will be working with. Earlier rumours suggested the iPhone 17 would use the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16. But analyst Jeff Pu now expects Apple to introduce a brand-new A19 chip, which will also power the iPhone 17 Air.
However, not everything is changing. If you were hoping for more RAM on the standard iPhone 17, that’s likely not happening. Pu says it will stick with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to get a boost with 12GB of faster LPDDR5X RAM. The 17 Air will also have 12GB of RAM but with the standard LPDDR5 speeds.
The entire iPhone 17 lineup is rumoured to include Apple’s own Wi-Fi 7 chip. The regular iPhone 17 might also get a larger 6.3-inch OLED screen and finally, a 120Hz refresh rate. However, unlike the Pro models, it won’t use LTPO (ProMotion) tech.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series on September 8, if the latest leaks are accurate.
FAQs
Q1. Which iPhone 17 model will feature a titanium frame?
Answer. Only the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a titanium-aluminium alloy metal frame, while the Pro and Pro Max models will reportedly switch to aluminium.
Q2. What chipset will power the iPhone 17 series?
Answer. Analyst Jeff Pu expects Apple to introduce a new A19 chip for the iPhone 17 lineup, replacing earlier predictions of the A18 being reused from the iPhone 16.
Q3. What RAM configuration will the iPhone 17 models offer?
Answer. The standard iPhone 17 will retain 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, while the iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and Air will have 12GB of RAM, Air with LPDDR5 and Pro models with LPDDR5X.

The Vivo X200 was launched in October last year and had a 6.67-inch curved display, a 50MP VCS main camera, and a 5800mAh battery with 90W fast charging. The shift to a 200MP main sensor alone shows how seriously Vivo is stepping up its camera game.

In a separate leak, Digital Chat Station also mentioned that Vivo is now bringing the 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor to the main camera in its new flagships. Previously, the brand used 200MP sensors for periscope cameras in models like the X100 Ultra and X200 Pro.
The HP9 sensor supports 8K at 30fps, 4K at 120fps, and uses Tetrapixel technology to adjust pixel size depending on lighting conditions. This move could influence other brands to switch to ultra-high-resolution sensors in their future flagships too.

According to the leak, the Redmi Turbo 5 is currently being tested with a 6.6-inch display offering a 1.5K resolution. The screen will reportedly feature a “large R-angle,” a design choice that gives the display gently rounded corners to improve grip and comfort.
While it’s slightly smaller than the 6.67-inch panel on the Turbo 4, the ergonomic upgrades could make it feel better in hand.
One major change might be in the build quality. The Turbo 5 could come with a metal middle frame, replacing the plastic used in its predecessor. This would give the phone a more premium and sturdy feel, something that’s not common in the mid-range category.
Battery design is also a big focus. The previous Turbo 4 packed a large 6,550mAh battery with 90W fast charging. The Turbo 5 is expected to keep a large battery but with a thinner form factor, showing Xiaomi’s efforts to strike a balance between power and portability.
Turbo 5 Pro – Bigger Battery, Later Launch
The Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, on the other hand, is tipped to feature a massive 8,000mAh+ battery, making it ideal for power users or gamers who need all-day battery life and then some.
In terms of launch timeline, the Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to debut in early 2026, while the Turbo 5 Pro may launch sometime in Q2 2026. Global versions under the Poco brand could follow shortly after.

This edition transforms the foldable phone into a fashion-forward accessory and is aimed at users who love luxury or limited edition design.
It is expected to launch on August 5, 2025 according to tipster Evan Blass with no official confirmation yet from Motorola.
Motorola’s foldable phone lineup is reportedly getting a glamorous makeover. According to a new report, the brand is working on a Swarovski Edition of the Motorola Razr 2025, also known as Razr 60.
This limited-edition version is expected to feature a stylish design with a crystal-studded finish, combining Motorola’s foldable tech with Swarovski’s iconic bling. Here’s what we know so far.
The leak comes from YTECHB, which reveals that the special Razr will have a crystal-embedded body. Leaked renders show off a fabric-like back panel with several small crystals placed neatly across the surface. Near the hinge and external display, you can also spot three larger stones, adding even more sparkle to the design.
The overall look gives the phone a designer accessory vibe less like a typical gadget and more like a fashion statement. Motorola clearly seems to be targeting users who love luxury and style.
Launch Date and Specs
While Motorola hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, popular tipster Evan Blass on X (formerly Twitter) has claimed that the Motorola x Swarovski Razr could be announced on August 5, 2025.
RAZR-ovski: 5 August.
— Evan Blass (@evleaks) July 11, 2025
It’s important to note that this Swarovski Edition is based on the standard Razr 2025 model, not the more premium Razr Ultra. That means the hardware and specs should remain the same as the regular Razr 2025, only the design is getting a luxury makeover.
The leak comes shortly after Motorola launched the Moto G96 in India, showing that the company is keeping busy across both premium and budget segments.
