Samsung has just presented its new batch of smart watches, the Galaxy Watch8. After a generation marked by the Watch7, the ultra watch and the Galaxy Ringthe Korean company has returned to the tradition of presenting year no, year a clock with rotating bezel, something that is a brand of the house and that we had not seen for a long time. But as it may, that’s not the really striking of Samsung’s new smart watches. Yes Galaxy z fold7 and flip7 They stand out for going out with Android 16 Just a month after their official launch, the Galaxy Watch8 have the privilege of release integration with Google Gemini.

Both the Watch8 and the Classic leave behind the circular box of the Watch7 to offer a more modern design that can clearly drink from the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The box is somewhat more rectangular, “cushion type” they call it from Samsung. To be able to implement it, the firm has had to redesign the interior, something that has resulted in a reduction in the thickness of 11%. We pass, therefore, from 9.7 mm to some 8.6 millimeters thick. In terms of design, the Classic model is larger, heavier. It has a rotating bezel that will allow us to move along the screens and that, incidentally, will slightly protect the panel of possible scratches. Also a small lateral rotating crown. The standard Watch8, meanwhile, has the screen in a kind of elevation on the box. The finish is more elegant and minimalist, but the clock does not have a crown or rotating bezel. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic | Image: Samsung If we take a look at the screen, they all ride Super Amoled panels whose size will depend on the size of the box. It is curious, of course, that the classic watch8 has the same panel as the smallest watch8. Be that as it may, all models share a fairly high resolution, up to 3,000 peak brightness and a sapphire crystal to protect the daily inclement panel. That engine sounds to me Samsung Galaxy Watch8 | Image: Samsung Under the hood we have an engine that is familiar to us, basically because it is the same as that of the Watch7. Samsung has again bet on the processor Exynos W1000 of three nanometers and five nuclei, two Gigas RAM and 32 Gigas of storage that amount to 64 in the Classic. The key, of course, is in the software and in the sensors. Samsung premieres Wear os 6 with one ui 8 for watch and the juicy has its own name: Google Gemini. This will allow us to use natural voice commands to ask for information and/or do things on the fly. Let’s think about looking for a cafeteria, sending a message, starting a specific training or asking who Abbas Ibn-Firns. It is basically having the power of AI in the wrist, a format that makes a lot of sense. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 sensor | Image: Samsung In terms of battery, the capacity depends, again, the size.

NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD7, TECHNICAL SHEET WITH CHARACTERISTICS, SPECIFICATIONS AND PRICE

by

Important day for Samsung. The Korean company has just announced three new folding phones: the galaxy z fold7, the Galaxy Z Flip7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7 Fenext to His new galaxy watch 8. Three that arrive to mark the rhythm in the segment and show that Samsung does not want to lead only in hardware: he also wants to be the best in software. We tell you all characteristics and technical specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z fold7the finest and light to date in the FOLD family, and a proposal that comes equipped with the best of the best.

At the design level, the new Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 It is quite similar to your predecessoralthough it has worked especially both in the thickness and in the weight of the device. Closed presumes 8.9mm, a thickness similar to that of a normal phone. Open … barely exceeds 4mm, madness. With 215 grams, the Z fold7 It weighs less than a good part of high -end phones. And no, we are not talking about folding, we talk about traditional format phones. That Samsung achieves a lower weight with a device of these characteristics is something to value. The design is not just the pretty face that is seen, it is also inside. Samsung has improved the hinge to make it more resistant, fine and light. A more robust aluminum is used, and the general resistance has improved. The concept is the usual, but with more sense than ever: a mobile more similar to a traditional one when it is closed, and one that remembers a light and thin tablet when it is open. A screen that grows and improves The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 exterior screen grows Until 6.4 inches, the interior until 8, and the frames are reduced slightly. The company ensures that the fold is less notable than in previous generations. Although, in our first impressions, we have noticed quite fast that inevitably follows. The two keys to the outer panel of the Samsung Galaxy Z fold7: finally has Full HD+ resolution and a “classical” appearance ratio One of the keys is in the outer panel that, being much wider, attends to a historical request to Samsung fold: to have a screen closer to what we would find on a traditional mobile. Specifically, the appearance ratio is now 21: 9. The resolution finally jumps to full HD+ (something that the previous models shouted), a Dynamic AMOLED with 120 Hz of adaptive refreshment rate. The 8 -inch interior panelhas 2184 x 1968 resolution, is also Amoled and of course has adaptive soda. The maximum brightness is 2,600 nits, an excellent figure for a mobile that, a few years ago, could well be a tablet. Samsung promises that the panel is more robust than everincreasing the thickness of the ultrafine glass that composes it, and covering it with CORNING GORILLA Glass Ceramic 2the latest Corning technology. Power and software to accompany Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. Up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. All ok. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 arrives with the best market processor and a base configuration of 12 + 256 GB, with the only sin of having a 4400MAH battery. Samsung’s rivals are squeezing in The race for battery capacityalthough it will remain first hand how it yields despite its capacity. The big surprise comes in the software. Not only because these phones are released on 8, but because they arrive hand in hand with Android 16. Google released this version of stable for your pixel Just a month ago, and Samsung wanted to be the first to take her to her customization layer. This phone comes with the suite Galaxy AIand his rom is especially optimized for folding format. Of course, it will be updated for no less than seven years, both to Android versions and in security patches. Finally, at the photographic level, We have a 200 megapixel cameraa resolution that we had not seen to date in a fold. It is accompanied by an ultra wide angle of 10 megapixels, and a teleobjective of three optical increases, also of 10 megapixels. The 10 megapixel selfie camera is not lacking, both inside and outside.

Samsung returns to the burden of folding. The Korean company has just presented in New York its new batch of Galaxy Z devices that, this time, is composed of one, not by two, but by three devices: the Galaxy Z fold7, the galaxy z flip7 that occupies us in this text and his little brother Fan Edition, the Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe. The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is an interesting improvement with respect to the previous model: not only wins in power, but loses several millimeters thick and adds an external flexwindow screen that, now, occupies the entire front of the upper part as we have seen in the terminals more recent Motorola and XiaomiFor example. Made the presentations, we will know it better. Thus samsung money earns: the secret is on the iPhone Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Technical Card 7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 dimensions and weight Folding: 75.2 x 85.5 x 13.7 mm Displayed: 75.2 x 166.7 x 6.5 mm Weight: 188 grams internal screen Dynamic Amoled 2x FullHD+ resolution (2,520 x 1,080 pixels) Format 21: 9 Refresco rate: 1-120 Hz Maximum brightness: 2,600 nits External screen Super AMOLED of 4.1 inches Resolution 1,048 x 948 pixels 60-120 Hz soda rate Maximum brightness: 2,600 nits PROCESSOR Samsung Exynos 2500 RAM 12 GB Internal storage 256/512 GB Rear camera 50 MP angular, f/1.8.

With the Galaxy Z Flip7 it has finally been updated. This screen, whose name is Flexwindow, grows up to 4.1 inches to occupy the entire front. Through that screen we can access the basic functions or make a selfie, although Samsung has not confirmed whether we can use any app or if, on the contrary, we will continue depending on Good Lock and its modules. Both this screen and the internal, the folding, have a maximum brightness of 2,600 nits. Speaking of the internal screen, we are facing a 6.9 -inch AMOLED panel that retains the elongated format 21: 9 and the FullHD+resolution. Samsung has updated the hinge, a code name Armor Flexhinge, to make it finer and Offer a softer fold. The idea is that the fold is noticed less, but we will only come out of doubt when we can put the glove and try it for ourselves. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 | Image: Samsung As for the design, Samsung continues to cut millimeters thick and passes from 14.9 and 6.9 mm (folded and displayed) of the Z flip6 at 13.7 and 6.5 mm in its new model. The weight is practically identical: 188 grams (before 187 grams). That is: it loses thickness, wins inches of screen and, as we will see later, we have also won in autonomy. The frames are made of aluminum and the rear parts (not the screen, eye) are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. An updated house made to the last Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 | Image: Samsung If in the galaxy z fold7 Samsung has mounted a Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy, for the Z Flip7, has opted for a home -made development. Samsung is the second most important chips smelter in the world, only behind TSMC, and the Exynos 2500 He has left his ovens. This processor has been manufactured in a Samsung Foundry’s three nanometers process And it has ten nuclei: a Cortex-X5 at 3.3 GHz, two Cortex-A725 to 2.74 GHz, five Cortex-A725 to 2.36 GHz and two Cortex-A520 to 1.8 GHz. On paper, it does not paint badly. They accompany him 12 Gigas RAM and up to 512 Gigas of internal storage. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 | Image: Samsung To give life to this engine, the terminal has a battery of 4,300 mAh (300 mAh more than the previous generation) that feeds Android 16 with One UI 8 standard. Yes, the stable version of Android 16 He left last month for the Google Pixel And Samsung has not taken a month to adapt it so that its new folders get to the market with the latest the latest. This operating system is not only loaded with AI, but adds a long -awaited novelty: Samsung Dex. At last it is possible to turn a flip into a kind of work station With an interface similar to that of a computer. We also found Now Bar, Now Brief and Gemini Live which, as a novelty, now works directly on the flexwindow screen. A modest camera Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 | Image: Samsung We approach the end, but not before talking about photography. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 aspires to be the photographic mobile of the year, but its camera points to a more casual use and, above all, to selfie.

Android does not have to be an absolute disaster in updates. Samsung has had to demonstrate it

by

Just a month ago Google updated its last pixel to the latest stable version of Android, 16. Today, in its presentation event of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe, the company has presumed something unusual: the three have the latest version of Android. It is the two very clear points test in 2025. Android 16. That a manufacturer throws a phone with the latest version of Android just a month of its launch is very strange. Manufacturers usually take months and months to refine the ROM to the latest version, especially in cases such as Samsung, with a heavy customization layer. Laning three phones to the market with Android 16, when the Pixel are starting their journey with this version is a clear message: Samsung wants to be the first, and not only in speed. The seven years of updates. Samsung was the first to achieve something unusual: to advance Google in update policy. The manufacturer offers seven years of system updates and another seven years of security patches. Only Google (who arrived after Samsung) and Honor, who has joined the car, manage to offer their customers these figures on their best phones. Seven years of support are major words. It is not just the proof that Android phones They can update during the same time as an iPhoneIt is a trusted proof for the brand with respect to its own product. Leader in AI. Samsung has a Google partner to enhance his suite of artificial intelligence functions and, curiously, his Galaxy AI It is the most complete the AI ​​ecosystem in the mobile market. Above Google’s own proposal in his Pixel and far ahead of what rivals like Apple are doing. Samsung did not want to implement Gemini Nano To make the minimum effort: it has integrated its functions with the native apps of One UI, to the point where they are practically indistinguishable from any usual adjustment. Just press the AI ​​button to take a step further apps such as: Gallery Phone Circle to Search (compatible with S-PEN) Voice recorder Translator GENERATION OF WINDERS Third -party apps, such as WhatsApp and keyboard translation The lessons. For years, Touchwiz was the ugly duckling of the Roms on Android. Worked slow (there was lag) I was very overloaded with functions At the aesthetic level it was … debatable Today, it has one of the most refined ROMs at the interface level, it is able to manage all its native functions and apps without slowing down (even in mid -range and entrance mobiles) and is marking a path as a reference in updates and Ia.

In an increasingly aging country to become old, it is a condemnation of poverty

by

G. Young Soo has done everything reasonably well In life. At least in work. At 23, she began working as a office worker in an insurance company and throughout the last three and a half decades, she has gradually climbing in the organization chart, through the positions of a branch director and team leader in several departments. Now, with 59 years, his future is quite black: his salary has been trimming during the last five years until he stayed in the middle of what he charged at 55 and in a few months, when he reached 60, he will have to leave his post. It is not that Young Soo has angry at its bosses or that has been accommodated after 36 years of loyal service. No. His employment situation is explained simply and plainly by the complex (and controversial) Employment Laws of South Korea based on age. “Alone on a road with curves”. Young Soo is a pseudonym, but its history is real and reflects the situation in which many South Korean workers are about to turn 60. We know it because it is one of the 34 employees in the country Interviewees By Human Rights Watch (HRW) to know the work overview (and vital) they face. All share several characteristics: they are between 42 and 72, they work in Seoul (some in the public sector, others in private companies) and will have to deal with the country’s labor policies. Their stories often go along the same lines as G. Young Soo: after years (or even decades) of work their professional/financial/vital perspectives darken as they approach their sixty birthday. Another similar case is that of Young Sook, 59 too and that has been working as a nurse for almost four decades. At 60 he will have to retire, yes or yes, a perspective that causes authentic unease. “I can’t imagine outside this organization”, confesses The woman during her talk with HRW. “It would be like being alone on a road with curves.” “Punished for aging”. His stories are part of A report of 72 pages in which HRW warns of the serious consequences that Corea’s laws and policies have for the oldest population. The document is so critical that its tone already advances in the same title: “Punished for aging”. It may seem exaggerated, but the analysis indicates that the country’s regulations often end up condemning its elders to a gradual loss of purchasing power, worse quality jobs, low remuneration and undercurred mental health. “The laws and policies of South Korea to protect older workers from age discrimination actually have the opposite effect,” Bridget Sleap warnsHRW researcher. “They deny older workers the opportunity to continue working on their main jobs, they are paid less and force them to accept precarious jobs and with lower salaries, all simply because of their age. The government should stop punishing workers just to age.” In your report there is an idea that slides several times: “Remove Ageism“ A percentage: 38%. The report of HRW not only exposes specific cases. It also slides some figures and percentages that help to better understand the situation that the elders live in the country. According to the data it manages, in 2023 the relative poverty rate among people of 65 or more years was 38%, The worst result of the countries that make up the OECD. In practice, that means that almost four out of ten elders have 50% (or less) of the national average income, which in 2023 stood at approximately $ 28,200. HRW quotes another report that reveals that the average monthly salary of 60 or more years were 29% lower than their younger colleagues. The percentage is not too surprising if we take into account two factors. The first is that in the country there is a system that allows to reduce wages in the years before retirement. The second, that 69% of people over 60 who worked in 2023 did it in precarious jobs. If we talk about the South Korean population as a whole, that data does not reach 40%. A problem with three legs. The big question arriving at this point is … Why are so many older ones attached to that situation? Although there are many factors at stake, there are three keys, three laws or labor policies based on age for HRW. The first is the mandatory retirement age. South Korean legislation is fixed from the age of 60, which means that companies can force a work to retire when they are fulfilled. No need to claim more reasons. They are the companies those that decide whether or not they set a retirement age, but the measure is widespread. Both in the public sector and among private companies. Especially in organizations of more than 300 employees. According to the South Korean Ministry of Labor, they accept that possibility 95% of companies With that last profile, signatures that usually set forced retirement in the 60 years. Among small businesses it is not so normal. In the country I already has opened the debate on the need to rethink (and increase) retirement age. In fact, President Lee Jae Myung has committed to approximately 65 years old, but HRW’s study slides that the key is not when the elderly are withdrawn, but how they do it. The maximum salary rule. The other standard that HRW quotes is the “maximum salary” system, which marks the last years of the elderly in its companies. “It allows employers to reduce workers’ salaries during the three or five years prior to their mandatory retirement,” says the agency, recalling that this practice “causes financial and psychological damage” to those affected, in addition to “based on a discriminatory stereotype.” Without counting on its impact on the quotes, compensation for dismissal or unemployment payments. And why does that system apply? The initial idea was to reduce the cost of hiring major personnel in a salary system based on antiquity and at the same time favor the creation of … Read more

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe: characteristics, technical file, price

Samsung has expanded its catalog of folding mobiles with the new Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe, presented during The Unpacked event next to Standard flip7 and the Fold7which We have been able to try first-hand. The company seeks to expand the accessibility of its folding with a strategy that we had already known in its galaxy For yearsmaintaining the essential functions and, potentially, at a more economical price than his older brother. Under these lines we leave you with all the details. Following the formula already tested with the Fan Edition range on other devices, the Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe ​​represents Samsung’s strategy to democratize its commitment to folding mobiles. In this sense, the company reduces certain technical specifications to offer a more affordable device compared to its most complete versionbut without giving up the fundamental characteristics of Flip7.

The outer screen stays at 3.4 inches, markedly smaller than 4.1 inches of the standard model. In this sense it has the same dimensions as the outer screen of the Flip6. Image: Samsung The processor is the exynos 2400, a generation prior to the Exynos 2500 of Flip7, and that we have also seen in the S24, S24+ and S24 Fe. In addition, we also see a reduction in the amount of RAM, which passes from the 12 GB of flip7 to the 8 GB of this Flip7 Fe. The same goes for storage, which dispenses with the 512 GB of Flip7 to offer 128 GB and 256 GB models. The battery is also more modest, with 4,000 mAh compared to the 4,300 mAh of the older brother, although it maintains the fast charge of 25W, wireless load and Powershare. Of course, we cannot say the same of the dimensions, since those of both devices are practically identical, with some millimeter and gram here and there. Of balance goes the thing: sacrifices and aspects that remain Image: Samsung The most notable differences with respect to the standard flip7 are concentrated on the outer screen, limiting the flexwindow function (from where by the way, we can invoke Gemini Live), its least amount of RAM and the previous generation processorwhich maintains solid performance but without the most recent optimizations in energy efficiency and AI processing that the company has contributed to its exyn 2500.

Gemini’s arrival to Wear OS 6 is great news. The question is whether an experience at the height

by

Samsung just present his smartwatches Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic. A priori we might think that these watches simply embody the annual update of their hardware to which it and many other companies have accustomed us. However, The Galaxy Watch8 propose a differential benefit that, therefore, it is worth not overlooking: they are the first smart watches in the market that They incorporate Wear OS 6 with Gemini. As we anticipate from the head of this article, in our opinion the arrival to these smartwatches of the artificial intelligence (AI) of Google is good news. And it is because presumably will have a deep and positive impact on our experience. The integration of this technology into a device that users usually always carry on, and that, in addition, resides in a very accessible area, greatly facilitates its use. In fact, what Samsung proposes to us on paper paints very well. And if we turn to Gemini we can interact with these smart watches using natural voice commands to, thus control apps such as Samsung Health, the calendar or the clock. We can also use Gemini to find a nearby location, such as a pharmacy, or to send text messages. Interestingly, the SOC proposed by these watches is the same that incorporates the Galaxy Watch Ultraso we suspect that it will be possible to update the operating system of this last device to Wear OS 6 with Gemini. Our experience with Gemini is in the hands of the SOC exynos w1000 This chip is very special. And it is because it is one of the first integrated circuits manufactured by Samsung using Gaa photolithography (Gate-alall-around) 3 nm. The purpose of this innovation is to outdo Finget technology in a crucial parameter: watt performance. The semiconductors with Finfet transistors began to be manufactured on a large scale in the early last decade, so it is a mature technology that TSMC, Intel and Samsung know very well and will not easily abandon. Even so, in the future GAA transistors will reign. The Exynos W1000 SOC will be largely responsible for the experience that Gemini will offer us at the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic Anyway, there is no doubt: the soc Exynos W1000 It will be largely responsible for the experience that Gemini will offer us in the smartwatches Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic. And probably Also at the Galaxy Watch Ultraas I mentioned a few lines above. We can anticipate that we will soon put these smart watches to the test and confirm if Gemini really offers us an experience at the height of what we can expect. The latency in this scenario of use is crucial. In any case, on paper we can be reasonably optimistic. And it is that the specifications of this SOC, beyond the lithography that Samsung has used to manufacture it, are quite ambitious. In fact, it incorporates a Cortex-A78 nucleus to 1.6 GHz and four Cortex-A55 nuclei to 1.5 GHz that work side by side with a main memory map of 2 GB of type LPDDR5. The graphic logic, which also has a crucial role in the field that interests us, is a Mali-G68 MP2. Paint well. Samsung says that this soc is Up to 3.7 times more powerful That the previous one, the chip Exynos W930in a multihilo use scenario. We will see it. We hope to tell you much more about the experience proposed by Gemini in these smartwatches coming soon. Image | Xataka In Xataka | Intel is already manufacturing chips on the Intel 3 node. The competition with TSMC and Samsung starts here

Evolution seems ambitious. In hand, it is even more

The first thing that shows when sustaining the Galaxy Z fold7 It has changed. And not little. Samsung has made his most ambitious folding feel thinner, lighter and, above all, more comfortable in his hand. The difference with the previous generation is clear, although it does not see in an image: you have to touch it, because the photographs do not do justice. The design is still recognizable, but now it transmits something different. Less than that industrial robustness proposed by the Galaxy z fold6. There is also a risky, necessary cut – according to Samsung – to give life to one of the key elements of this generation. We are talking about the disappearance of compatibility with S Pen. Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 If we talk about Galaxy Z Flip7I must also say that he has taken some interesting steps. It changes little on the outside, but gains presence. The sensation in hand is more solid and uniform. And there is a visual detail that has caught my attention from the first moment: the exterior screen occupies more space than ever. This year, in addition, a third model enters the scene: the Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe. A folding that we will not address in these first impressions, but that adopts the screen format of the Flip6 launched last year and aims to become the most affordable option of this family. Thus samsung money earns: the secret is on the iPhone Technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Dimensions and weight Closed: 72.8 x 158.4 x 8, .9 mm Open: 143.2 x 158., 4 x 4.2 mm Closed: 75.2 x 85.5 x 13.7 mm Open: 75.2 x 166.7 x 6.5 mm External screen 6.5 inches screen FHD+ Dynamic Amoled 2x Display (2520 x 1080, 21: 9), 422 ppi 120 Hz Frequency of adaptive update Super AMOLED of 4.1 inches 1048 x 948, 60/120 Hz soda frequency Main screen 8 inches qxga+ Dynamic Amoled 2x (2184 x 1968), 368ppi 120 Hz Frequency of adaptive update 6.9 inches FHD+ Dynamic Amoled 2x 120 Hz Frequency of adaptive update 2520 x 1080 (21: 9) processor Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy Exynos 2500 RAM AND STORAGE 12 GB /256 GB 12 GB /512 GB 16 GB / 1 TB 12 GB / 256 GB 15 GB / 512 GB front camera 10 MP, F/2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 85˚ (exterior screen 10MP, F/2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 100˚ (Interior screen) 10 MP, F2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 85˚ Main Chamber 200 MP, Quad Pixel AF, OIS, F1. 7, 0.6μm, fov: 85˚ 12 MP Dual Pixel AF, F2.2, 1.4μm, FOV: 120˚10 MP, Pdaf, OIS, F2.4, 1.0μm, FOV: 36˚, 3X Optical Zoom 50 MP, Dual Pixel AF, OIS, F1.8, 1.0μm, FOV: 85˚ 12 MP, F2.2, 1.12μM, FOV: 123˚ battery Dual 4,400 mAh (typical) Dual 4,300 mAh (typical) connectivity 5g LteWi-Fi 7Bluetooth 5.4 5g Lte Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 Operating system Android 16 One UI 8 Android 16 One UI 8 colors Intense blueSilver grayDark blackMint green (only at samsung.com) Intense blueDark blackCoral redMint green (only at samsung.com) others IP48 resistance IP48 resistance price From 2,109 euros From 1,209 euros Two bets in common: more screen, refined design As I pointed out, I was enough for a few seconds with the fold7 in my hand to notice that something had changed. The exterior screen is now widerand that shows right away. I no longer have that feeling of writing in a narrow vertical bar, as in the previous models. Without becoming identical to that of a standard non -folding mobile, it seems much more. (Here is a video testing the exterior screen that planned to climb right to end) Deploying it is still a small ritual, but this time the reward is somewhat greater. The main screen grows slightly and the frames are reduced. Samsung ensures that the fold shows less than in previous generations, and the truth is that, after a few moments of use, I have forgotten that the fold is there. To the touch, yes, it can be perceived. Of the right left, the galaxy z fold6, the galaxy z fold7 and the ultra galaxy s25 In the visual comparison that we have made between fold6, fold7 and galaxy s25 ultra the evolution is clearly appreciated. The Fold7 appearance ratio It finally approaches what you expect from a normal mobile. Galaxy z fold7 sides Flip7, on the other hand, takes a visual leap from outside. Its outer screen grows to surround the cameras and flash. Seeing her in person is different from seeing her in images: in her hand she wins a lot. And the 120 Hz make everything move with a fluency that hooks. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 folded and deployed Inside, Flip also grows. Just a few tenths of an inch, but enough to open it, give the feeling of having greater breadth for any task. Performance at the height and a long -distance promise In what there is no margin for doubts is in power. The galaxy z fold7 rides a Snapdragon 8 Elite for GalaxyQualcomm’s most advanced processor, optimized with Samsung to get even more performance. I have not had enough time to squeeze it thoroughly, but the first sensations are very good: everything moves fluently, the apps open instantly and the multiventana responds as it should. In addition, Samsung has confirmed that this model comes with Android 16 and a seven -year commitment commitment. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 In Flip7 the approach changes. Here we have an Exynos 2300 processor, which also feels fast and efficient in these first tests. The most interesting is not only its performance, but now it supports Samsung Dexa function that until now was reserved for higher ranges. That is available in Flip says a lot about the maturity that this format is reaching. Another relevant point: the battery. Samsung has promised improvements in flip, which 4,000 mAh to 4,300 mAh.

The aging of the population and a poor pension system has a new symbol in Japan: grandmothers are rented

by

During the last months, the great drag crisis Japan with the aging of its population has been expressed in multiple formats. For example, in the field they are becoming Schools in hotels And more and more elderly for living in jail. In fact, the situation is such that the shortage of young labor has turned retirement into an aspiration of the past, with a large group of over 70 years keeping your work life Active The latest: the nation has begun to rent grandmothers. Grandmother for hours. As we said, in the context of a society that ages quickly and where loneliness and isolation They have become structural phenomena, Japan has witnessed the emergence of a unique and deeply revealing service: Ok obaachanan initiative that allows rent grandmothers For hours to fulfill as varied functions as teaching to cook, take care of children, accompany a loving break or simply provide emotional support. Behind this phenomenon, which might seem picturesque at first sight, underlies a series of economic tensions and social that clearly draw the fragility of the social contract in the Third Japanese age. With More than 9.3 million of people over 65 years old still active (That is, one in four elders continues to work after retirement age), many are forced to seek new forms of income against pensions that are barely enough to meet basic needs. For these older women, OK Obaachan represents not only an economic way, but also a form of Keep feeling usefulpresent and linked to society. A human catalog. The service, offered by the Client Partners companyis presented as a multifunctional female personnel (a kind of task and company company) and offers grandmothers to a cost of 3,300 yen per hour (More transport). The current template includes about 100 women between 60 and 94 yearswith diverse profiles and skills that cover From the kitchen, calligraphic writing or family mediation, to the simple ability to listen, advise or do affective presence. What began as a practical project has become an experience deeply human: Some grandmothers accompany people who want to leave the closet in front of their parents, others participate in academic research on social evolution in Japan, and there are those who simply help cope with everyday life. Some of the “rental grandmothers” Grandmothers of all colors. He Customer profile It is as wide as that of the grandmothers themselves: young people without family, lonely adults, people looking for a maternal figure, or even couples in the process of rupture that require a conciliatory presence. The range of services covers from functional to emotional, and in many cases the symbolic. Social reactions. What’s doubt, the appearance of the service has generated reactions found In Japanese society. While some value the possibility of receiving advice and affection from an experienced person, others express discomfort Before commercialization of human ties. In fact, they have appeared comments on networks social ranging from praise to the idea of ​​”feeling needy” to irony about the physical risk for the elderly or even the complaint about the lack of an equivalent service for men. Because, in effect, ok obaachan is exclusively feminineboth in its template and in its parallel services of “rental friends” or “rental relatives”, all managed by a company that It is defined as “Manitas company only for women.” They counted the media premises that, although there is a male version called Ossan Rental (Centered on middle -aged men, between 30 or 40 years), its approach is different and more informal, and does not reach the level of visibility or sophistication of the service focused on grandmothers. Grandmothers as a symptom. The proliferation of this type of services cannot be analyzed without attending the demographic backdrop that makes them possible. We have gone counting: Japan is one of the countries more aged of the world, with an inverted population pyramid, rates of minimal birth rate and a longevity that exceeds 85 years on average. Traditional family structures are They have eroded: Unipersonal households They multiplyintergenerational links They weakenand community fabric It is fragmented. In this scenario, older people not only face economic uncertainty, but also an existential vacuum. Initiatives like OK Obaachan They workas well as a kind of emotional economy, in which rent affection (either On the contrary), listening and the human heat that was previously given in the family. Far from being a marginal curiosity, the phenomenon embodies an adaptive response (and, of course, commercial) to a deeply structural need. Radiography of the present. If you want, although the boom Ok obaachan Point to the endearing, functional or even ingenious, deep down it is a sign of cultural transformation. The figure of the grandmother, traditionally associated with the home, the transmission of values ​​or the emotional refuge, has become a professionalized resourcenegotiable and temporal. What was previously free and spontaneous is now organized, is invoiced and reserved for hours. A RARE Av of professionalization of tenderness that speaks both of the spirit of resilience of older women and the void left by a Hyperravalized societywhere every need (even affective) must be covered For a transaction. Japan, as in so many Other trendsit is possible that anticipating a phenomenon that could be reproduced in other industrialized societies. In an increasingly individualistic world and agedperhaps the question is not why there is a grandmothers service for rent, but why the hell we need so much.

Those who are foraging anticipating their failure

A little over a month ago, Elon Musk assured his investors that I would abandon politics To devote full time to solve the problems They were ruining the capitalization of Tesla. The retirement has lasted little and the tycoon returns to the political ring announcing the creation of a new party. The return to politics has been highly applauded by a sector of Tesla investors: those who have bet in short (losses) in the company. Since Musk announced the creation of the ‘America Party’, these short investors have pocketed 1.4 billion dollars, according to Reuters. Musk’s game. Elon Musk has been very critical of the new fiscal package promoted by Donald Trump, known as “the great and beautiful bill” (One Big Beautiful Bill Act), that Tesla’s CEO did not hesitate to qualify the law as “a disgusting abomination”, And he added: “Shame for those who have voted it, they know they have done wrong. They know it.” Since the law has overcome its greatest stumbling With the approval in Senate and its approval is imminent, Musk has seen to fulfill your promiseof founding the America Partya third political party that serves as a hinge of current electoral bipartisanism. Focus for some, joy for others. The announcement of the return to Elon Musk’s policy has caused anger of his (until a few months ago) greater ally Donald Trump, than From your social network He has described Musk’s proposal to create a new “ridiculous” game, adding that “it has always been a bipartisan system and I think that founding a third party only contributes to confusion.” However, the anger of the president of the United States with Musk has cheered a part of Tesla investors who do not bet on the bonanza of the electric car manufacturer, but they earn money when the company’s shares are collapsed: short investors. A 7.5% drop are good news. Trump’s anger with Musk’s announcement made investors immediately They will reduce their trust In the company’s shares, which caused its price to collapse 7.5% in its opening on Monday with respect to the price of Thursday, July 3 (July 4 was a holiday). Before this opening of the markets, a Short Inverters Army They had their sharp pencils to take advantage of the more than foreseeable drop in the price of the company’s actions that are most suffering from Musk’s political fluctuations. So it was. According to Reuters data, Short investors Tesla collected estimated benefits of 1.4 billion dollars with that fall. The way of operating Of these investors is to “borrow” shares of Tesla to sell them with the commitment to buy them again before a certain period of time. If during the period of time it passes between it sells them and buy them again the shares have fallen, you will have to pay less in their purchase of what they gave it when you sold it, so the more the action falls, the greater the benefit. So much ride, ride so much. If something has been demonstrated in recent months, it is that, if Tesla does nothing to remedy itthe fate of the company and that of its CEO are united. Therefore, and although the price of Tesla’s shares is harshly recovered, Elon Musk’s personal fortune has also suffered a severe varapalo, leaving 15.3 billion dollars in its valuation, according to The Bloomberg Millionaire Index. During the opening of the markets last Monday, Tesla’s shares fell from $ 315.35 of the closure prior to $ 291.21, registering a weak recovery up to 297.81 dollars They mark When publishing this article. Elon Musk has shown on numerous times his repulsion for this type of Short investmentswhich has even generated Tensions between Musk and Bill Gates Because it was discovered that the founder of Microsoft had some Losses Tesla positions.
