Galaxy Z Fold7/Flip7, Watch8 series, OnePlus Nord 5/CE5 official, Week 28 in review
Samsung made the biggest splash this week with the unveiling of its new foldables and watches. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the series, has the 200MP main camera of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and finally brings a 21:9 cover display. The Galaxy Z Flip7 also brings a bigger cover screen at 4.1 inches. Both are now up for pre-order.
The Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic both ditch the round design for a squircle one. Both pack the same Exynos W1000 3nm SoC as the previous generation. The Galaxy Watch8 Classic has a smaller display than the Watch6 Classic, but adds the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s Action button.
Fold7 is bigger, lighter and now comes with a flagship main camera.
Both watches use the “cushion” design that we saw on the Watch Ultra. Speaking of, there is no new Watch Ultra, only a new color for the original model.
It will be among the few upgrades compared to its predecessor.
Three new Galaxy foldables – possibly four if the tri-fold rumors are true – plus three new Galaxy watches are coming this Wednesday.
Onelus announced the Nord 5 and Nord CE5 this week. The Nord 5 has a massive 6,800mAh battery and a big 6.83-inch 144Hz AMOLED panel. It runs on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with up to 12GB of RAM. The Nord CE5 has a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a Dimensity 8350 chipset, and an even bigger 7,100mAh battery. Both phones are now on sale
The Moto G96 also debuted with a 6.67-inch 144Hz OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, and a 5,500mAh battery. It’s going on sale in India on July 16.
Nord CE5 brings the biggest battery ever fitted on a OnePlus phone.
Open sales in India are set to kick off on July 16.
Both feature six-core CPUs.
In the meantime, we unboxed the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ and Nothing Phone (3) – check those out below!
Thin-and-lights are coming from everywhere.
Nothing struck a nice balance between different and functional.
It looks just like its predecessor.
