Samsung Z Fold 7 Leak Shows Insanely Slim Design
Samsung plans to showcase new folding phones at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 this July. Leaked files reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures just 9mm thick when closed. The device slims down to 4.54mm when opened flat, 0.1mm thinner than Oppo's current record holder. Samsung hopes these changes help it compete against rising Chinese brands. The Z Flip 7 stays about the same size as earlier models. It measures 6.94mm when opened flat. The thickness remains unchanged from the last version when closed. Adding the camera bump increases the thickness to 9.17mm. Complete measurements show the Z Fold 7 at 158.43 x 143.14 x 4.54mm with the Z Flip 7 at 166.61 x 75.23 x 6.94mm. Samsung appears to focus mainly on improving the Z Fold 7 design this year. The...
Apple's Massive Foldable Tablet Mac to Change Everything
Apple plans to make a large foldable device with an 18.8-inch screen in the coming years. Reports differ about whether it will work as an iPad, a Mac, or both types combined. Huawei just showed its MateBook Fold, which looks like what Apple might create. The MateBook Fold gives us a preview of how these devices will look and work. Apple might release its first smaller foldable next year before this larger version arrives. The Huawei device measures under 15mm thick when closed and 7.3mm when open. This makes it thinner than an iPhone 16 Pro but sturdy enough to resist breaking. Users can set up the device in many ways. It works flat like a tablet, paired with a keyboard like a PC, or bent like a laptop. When used as a laptop, the...
NVIDIA DLSS 4 Ultra Quality Crushes DLAA at 1440p
A new video shows that NVIDIA DLSS 4 Ultra Quality mode works better than DLAA. Players can see almost no difference in picture quality, but games run faster. Players can access this setting through the NVIDIA App with the DLSS Override option at 77 percent input resolution. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 look nearly identical with the setting turned on. Many gamers wonder why this helpful option does not appear in standard game menus. Since its release earlier this year, NVIDIA DLSS 4 has run on more than 125 games and apps. The technology is spreading to new titles every week. F1 25, Dune Awakening, and MindsEye will soon support this feature. FBC Firebreak comes next, followed later on July 24 with Wuchang Fallen...
Stellar Blade Sequel Coming Sooner Than You Think
Shift Up plans to make more Stellar Blade games. The company showed this in a recent presentation to investors. Their growth chart reveals a Stellar Blade sequel coming before 2027. They also plan an action RPG with the code name Project Witches. The chart mentions platform expansion, possibly meaning the PC version launching next month. Fans should stay cautious about the 2027 timeline. Game development often faces delays or changes. The original Stellar Blade became very popular in 2024. The PC version will launch on June 11, 2025. However, some problems exist with the upcoming release. The game cannot be purchased on Steam in 130 countries despite not needing PlayStation Network to sign in. Shift Up has promised to fix this...
Musk Rejects Weapons Push Eyes Starlink IPO
Elon Musk talked about listing Starlink shares publicly but rejected making weapons at SpaceX. During a Bloomberg event, he stayed open to the idea of Starlink going public someday. Despite recent stock troubles, he plans to stay with Tesla for a few more years. The SpaceX leader praised how Starlink's internet helps people escape poverty worldwide. Musk said SpaceX has turned down requests to create weapons programs. He mentioned public companies face annoying lawsuits and extra work. These lawsuits bother him because law firms pretend to represent shareholders with just a few shares. He finds it strange that lawsuits continue even when most shareholders vote against them. Musk believes this system needs major changes in American...
Nvidia Boss Warns US Chip Ban Will Backfire Big Time
NVIDIA leader Jensen Huang says American rules about sharing AI with China make no sense. He believes US technology should spread across all countries before America loses its lead. The rules hurt NVIDIA because the company might lose $15 billion in sales. Chinese experts already make up over half of AI researchers worldwide. China created its systems like DeepSeek despite trade limits. Huang points out that many AI companies employ Chinese workers for important projects. China keeps making AI progress at the same speed as before the limits started. Banning chips pushes China to build its alternatives faster. NVIDIA built business ties with China over 30 years before these rules came. The current approach helps China become independent...
Borderlands Boss Dares Fans to Shell Out 80 Bucks
Fans worry Borderlands 4 might cost $80 when it launches. Gearbox head Randy Pitchford told someone on social media that pricing decisions belong to publishers. He added that real fans would make it happen regardless of cost. Pitchford shared how he bought Starflight for $80 in 1991 despite earning minimum wage at an ice cream shop. Many players disliked his response about finding money for games amid rising costs everywhere. Nintendo already sells Mario Kart World for $80, breaking past price barriers. Microsoft recently raised prices for both games and consoles. PlayStation charges more for services but keeps games at $70 for titles like Ghost of Yotei. Take-Two surprised people with a $50 price tag for Mafia: The Old Country...
Cyberpunk 2 to Drop in a Dark Chicago City
The next Cyberpunk game offers players a second city to visit beyond Night City. Mike Pondsmith shared this news at Digital Dragon 2025 last month. Pondsmith created the original Cyberpunk world, but plays a smaller role in this sequel. He described the new location as feeling like Chicago with a bad attitude rather than copying Blade Runner looks. The game carries the code name Project Orion right now. CD Projekt Red keeps working hard on this follow-up without saying when players might play it. Fans can enjoy the first game on Nintendo Switch 2 very soon, though. The entire game fits on one game card without needing extra downloads. Early comparisons show it runs better than expected for portable play. The developer team put serious...
AMD Bags 3B Then Ditches ZT For AI Glory
The Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Project Orion, is going to feature a second city to explore besides Night City, according to information provided by the creator of the Cyberpunk universe. As reported by Polish publication CD-Action, Mike Pondsmith recently talked with TVGRY during the Digital Dragon 2025 event, revealing that, while he is not as involved in the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel as he was with the original game, he gets to see scripts, check out new cyberwar, and talk with the various departments at work on the game, including the environment design people. From these people, he probably learned that the second entry in the series will feature a second city besides Night City, which he described as having the feel of "Chicago...
