Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 is billed as the thinnest and lightest foldable (about 4.4 mm when unfolded and 215 g), featuring an 8‑inch display, a 200‑MP main camera and durability improvements such as IP68 water/dust resistance. The Z Flip7 sports a larger cover display and new AI‑assisted features that let users summarize messages and generate images through Android 16 and One UI 8. Prices start at about $1,999 for the Fold7, and Samsung has dropped S‑Pen support to reduce thickness.
Meta Platforms appointed Shengjia Zhao, a co‑creator of ChatGPT and former OpenAI researcher, as chief scientist of its new Superintelligence Lab. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Zhao will set the research agenda and scientific direction for the lab, which aims to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) and open‑source the results. Zhao joins other former OpenAI researchers in what analysts call a talent “arms race” between Meta and its rivals.
