I hadn’t played a folding mobile for four years and I have flipped with Samsung’s new

by

Due to the circumstances of the work (and of life), since the end of the summer of 2021 did not have a folding mobile at my analysis table. It was then that I analyzed the Samsung Galaxy Z fold3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3two models that already seemed to me that they had improved a lot with respect to their predecessors. For a couple of days I am in New York on the occasion of the Galaxy Unpacked and confirmed it: I have flipped with the new Galaxy Fold7 and Flip7. So much, that They have changed my mind. This fold yes Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Fold7 Although with fold3 they had already refined the design, it still seems quite brick. When I folded it, The feeling was to have two mobiles in the handNot one. In fact, this was what least convinced me of this format. In the end we are not going to display the mobile every time we want to look at it and the folding thickness was very uncomfortable. In addition, the exterior screen was too elongated and the format was strange. For all this I liked the concept of flip much more: fold to transport it, but when we want to use it we open it and we have a normal mobile. When I saw the fold7 galaxy, I had to look twice to make sure, but the best came when folding it and checking that already It feels like a normal smartphonewithout strange format or impossible thickness. In fact, being folded, I could go through any galaxy s if we don’t look at the edge. Fold7 has a thickness of 8.9 millimeters when it is folded, only 0.7 millimeters more than the Ultra Galaxy S25. If we compare it with the latest model he had tried, the jump is brutal: fold3 had a thickness of 16 millimeters folded and weighed 271 grams. Has lost 7 millimeters and 56 gramswhich is said soon. The external screen that Flip deserved Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 When I tried flip3, the format convinced me much more than that of fold; He had not been able to put a mobile in his pocket without stood out almost half. However, although it was very comfortable to transport it, I had a problem: With the closed mobile we could not do almost anything. That model had already expanded the screen of the first generations, but it was still a small window where we could see the notifications and little else. The jump with Flip7 is brutal, both in size and quality. The screen occupies the entire front and has been drilled to place the cameras, reaching 4.1 inches diagonally and a 1.048×948 resolution. In addition, the refreshment rate is 120Hz. For its part, the FLIP3 had a small 1.9 -inch screen with 260×512 resolution. The bad thing is that the functions are still limited, that is, we cannot use any app from here. The jump with Flip7 is brutal, both in size and quality. The screen occupies the entire front. The design has also improved and is thinner and light, but here the difference is not as abysmal as with fold. Deployed has a thickness of 6.5 millimeters and in Flip3 it was 6.9 millimeters, where it shows the most is when closing it, going from the 17 millimeters of the flip3 to only 13.7 millimeters. The secret is in the hinge that Finally, the screen folds totally without leaving a space. As I said, Flip was my favorite, but seeing the evolution of both models in these four years, I have changed my mind. My fold complaints have been solved, while Flip has not improved so much and has been a little stagnant. If I had to choose a folding today, it would be the fold without a doubt. The competition has spurred Samsung It would not be fair to compare Samsung only with herself and with the advantage that four years of evolution give her. Although they were pioneers, other brands entered the folding market later and managed to improve those negative aspects of those that Samsung has cost to part. An example is the outer screen of the flip, which finally occupies the entire front but it is something we already saw a year ago in the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. As for the thickness, if we only compare it with fold3, the difference is abysmal, but the reality is that there have been marks that have advanced to Samsung. Honor surprised us more than a year ago with the Magic V2 Honor and its 9.9 millimeters thick (folding). We also have the OPPO N5 announcerohace just a few days, honor announced the Honor Magic V5 that goes down to 8.8 millimeters and The possibility of advertising as a finer folding in the world has stolen to Fold7. Instead, it is “the thinnest fold to date.” Something is something. The bad of renewing every year The surprise effect on the releases of new mobiles has long abandoned us. More and more continuous mobiles that barely change Regarding the previous generation already often We wonder if it makes sense to maintain this frequency of launches. It makes sense from the point of view of business strategy, but what we are looking for is that there are substantial changes, it does not have it. What happened to me after these four years away from folding is the perfect example. He spoke with colleagues that have followed all the presentations of Samsung’s folding and It didn’t seem so innovative. The thinness of fold7 was the most commented, but little else. In the end it will turn out that the secret for us to freak out with the new mobiles is to spend a few years “in a coma.” Images | Amparo Babyloni, Xataka In Xataka | 10 years ago, Samsung was the ugly duckling of Android software.

Nothing’s CEO wants to conquer the mobile market with crazy designs. He has told us his very complex plan to achieve it

by

Carl Pei is one of the CEO that gives off the most in the technology industry. You saw a cowboy and basic shirt, they warn me that it is shy and, after a few minutes of interview, we end up smiling, commenting that “the vibes” are the future, and remembering the old days of Cyanogenmod out of formalities. Those who have been in El Cotarro to know Carl from that Old OnePlus who only sold his phones by invitation. With Nothing, the approach is different. A London company with the focus on design and with a clear slogan: “Make Tech Fun Again”. Looking up Nothing began with a Phone (1) that attacked the mid -range. He continued with a Phone (2) that took a specifications and, in 2025, attacks the market with a mobile of 799 euros with a high range. I can’t help wanting to know why. Carl explains that for Nothing, both the Phone (1) like him Phone (2) They were flagships. It sounds like a statement Marketinianbut it is not: “For a company, a flagship is the best mobile you can do.” For the first time, they believe they are at an engineering point in which they can compete with the best in the market, a point where they are finally ready. Sailing a high range is risky, and throwing it being oriented to a concrete niche, it is even more. Nothing is not in volume, it is not desperate to launch product and points directly to “the most creative users.” All this sounds very good, but it is worth asking if A company can be profitable and sustainable living as “creative users”. “We are focused on new generations of consumption. We focus on people who are interested in technology, design and creativity. Our consumer is much younger than the average consumer, it is around 26 years.” Does the strategy work? Yes. Carl tells me that they have folded the volume of business, exceeding one billion dollars in the accumulated sales. He knows that they have been focusing on software for years, but they intend to double software investment to be even more attractive. They also have an important investment behind, in which investors take a direct role in the decisions made by the company. “Sometimes it is uncomfortable, because they give their opinion in front of the rest of the members of our table. But I think it is really important to find ways to keep us connected with this base, especially when the company grows. It is difficult to hear uncomfortable truths when you have that type of structure, we always know what people want us.” The present Carl Pei during the presentation of Nothing Phone (3) and the Nothing Earphone (1). Image | Xataka With Nothing Phone (3) comes the whopping seven years of security updates and five software. Maybe it’s time for Get out of stopping a mobile per year if mobiles are getting older and more. Or maybe not. “On average, people renew phone every three years. So there will always be someone thinking about the following. But we are also seeing a trend of people who want to keep their device for a longer time. That is why we want to give even longer support.” The phone also lands with an integration of quite discreet. Essential Search Essential Space Minor translation functions Is enough to compete, taking into account that There are already those who integrate the AI Even in the most basic apps of the system (telephone, keyboard, camera …)? Carl is clear that Nothing’s approach is cautious, because they see “a lot of hype” in the market. It drops that, even if they have launched these functions, “the Roadmap is long, there will be updates and updates.” But, beyond promising that in the future AI will be more complete, it is not afraid to admit that it agrees. “This is almost like a hygiene factor, right? We have to take care of that basic part, but that is not what excites us most. What really excites us is how we apply this new technology to redefine the way people use products, especially in the software part. But yes, that basic work is necessary. You have to do it. The market is doing it and I think we can do much more.” Image | Xataka To close the block, I ask Carl for something practically inevitable: How are geopolitical tensions between the United States and China livingand if your supply chain is being affected. The Nothing Phone box (3) shows a clear “Made in China”, so there is nothing to hide. Here he tells us that most of their products are manufactured in India, and some of them in China. Apart from this, he affirms that they are in the process to start producing in other parts of the world. It does not seem too worried, and the reason is simple. “Being a startup, we can be quite agile and reagents, whatever happens.” The future of smartphone Nothing Phone (3). Image | Xataka A question that I like to ask the main responsible for Tech companies is how they look in the future. And being, honest, the answers are usually little concrete. It is something completely normal: neither should get wet with compromised statements or, really, it is easy to predict with where today’s technology is going. But Carl is a Jugónand it is clear that the future of the smartphone goes through a single app capable of controlling everything. That agriculture that we have spent so much speaking throughout 2025. The key is that, When everything is … what will be the reason to decide between one device or another? It clarifies that it is still distant, and that no one would buy a phone without apps today. The key will be on the path that is to achieve it, a path to combine and melt all software and hardware. “I think Essential Search is a good example. … Read more

The heat of the summer destroys the battery of your mobile. But there is a trick to give it a second life

by

It’s summer, I get home with a 20% of battery and the Telephone quite hot. I stop to see some videos in Tiktok and … I appreciate how the battery jumps directly from that 20% to 16%. What noses have just passed? Bulk. Your mobile has an internal microcontroller that uses estimation algorithms based on different variables. Voltage Temperature Current Load cycles As the battery is degraded, The system is losing precision: Errors in the calculations (something especially simple if we only make partial load cycles) accumulate, the loss of battery capacity is not exactly estimated, and this ends up translating into reading errors that directly affect the most visible point: the percentage indicated by the phone. How to know that if my battery is not well calibrated. It is quite easy to know if your mobile has or not the barefoot battery, since its behavior will be quite erratic. It goes out before reaching 0%, in upper percentages. There are notable battery jumps, more than 1%, both loading and downloading. The device never marks 100% or 1%. That a mobile has the bare battery It does not translate into a malfunction in the same: The error focuses on the visible reading that the user perceives, not on the performance of the battery itself. Why summer affects bruise. Telephone batteries have a great enemy: heat. There is no time of the year in which they suffer greater wear and are more likely to barefoot, precisely because of the acceleration of this damage they suffer. If we do not remedy it, it will be practically inevitable that we suffer sudden turns off for ignoring the exact battery percentage, and that the mobile stops to load efficiently when reaching certain percentages (fast from 20%, slow from 80%). How to calibrate a battery. Calibrate the battery It is nothing more than the process to help software to get precise readings about the real capacity of the battery. We seek to learn new vacuum points (0%) and full (100%), so the process is something drastic. Load the phone to the fullest and leave it, at least, a couple more hours loading. Download the phone completely and leave it a few hours without lighting. By battery protection, there is some reserve capacity after that 0% that is not lost until a few hours. Load the phone up to 100%, and leave it an additional time until the phone reaches the maximum load point. Avoid using applications that promise this purpose: none works. The only way to force calibration is to perform this process manually. Is it advisable to calibrate the battery? Evidence about calibrating the battery is still limited. There are those who aim to do them every three monthsbut if we do not observe anomalous behavior, stress the battery at this level may not be recommended. Calibration is necessary when readings are wrong and end up translating into a real problem to estimate how much battery we have left. The manufacturers are in full war to achieve batteries that there are many more cycles to go down to 80%below which the industry considers the replacement of it.

Samsung is committed to fighting with nails and teeth the most powerful mobile chip race. The perfect candidate finally has

by

The world of semiconductors has a look set on the next generation of integrated circuits manufactured in lithographic processes of 2 nm. Meanwhile, the most advanced processors for mobile phones continue to use the 3 Nm processes. Giants such as TSMC have demonstrated their good work with proposals such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elitehe Apple A18 Pro Apple, and even the Xiaomi Xring 01. Now it is Samsung’s turn. The company has presented its Exynos 2500and it is much more than a processor. It is the company’s great opportunity to dissipate doubts about the performance of its mobile chips, one of the keys for the company’s semiconductor division to remain alive. Between surrender and reinvent the design of its highest range mobile processors, Samsung has chosen the second option. Why is it important. The Samsung Exynos 2500 It has been playing since last yearwith a production that did not enter into mass for the low performance he showed in the leaked tests. Going forward with the proposal does not show only that Samsung trusts this proposal: it is a message to the world about the point where they are and can become semiconductors. The company has not revealed what device this processor will premiere but, taking into account that there are Rumors on the table about a new unpackedit is more than likely to know him soon. The exynos 2500. I will not get bored with excessive technical data from the processor. Your keys are summarized in a simple way. It has a ten -core design, just like Xiaomi’s own processor. It is the only high -end processor, next to the Xring, with this design. It is its greatest particularity. Promises to be 39% more powerful in the process of AI. Supports cameras of up to 320 megapixels. It is built in the 3 Nm GAA process. Its largest nucleus is up to 15% more powerful than its predecessor. The main doubts are how these numbers will be translated in real use. Its architecture is quite similar to that of Xiaomi Xring (with Cortex X925, A725 and A520) and a Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU that will have to compete with the best adreno. The message. Ten -core CPU, cameras of 320 MPenergy efficiency and improvements in AI. Samsung has not fallen excessively Marketinians nor has he made promises that he cannot fulfill. It is a more powerful processor than the previous one, centered on AI and with support for the best technologies of the moment. The rest is about to prove. The key to Samsung. Samsung has been facing problems with its semiconductor division for years. Lose clients like Google To provide the pixel with their processor, it is one of the most recent blows, and survive to arrive with decent performance to the 2 Nm career is crucial for the future of the company. The company has delayed two of its most important projects today: the construction of its second manufacturing plant of avant -garde chips in Taylor (USA) and in Pyeongtaek (South Korea). They are projects that are still underway And they will be key to the development of their semiconductors but … it will use without customers. Exynos 2500 is the most recent test of the point where Samsung is in mobile chips. If it fails, the company will have it more difficult than ever to continue attracting investment.

These are special notifications that will show you in real time the status of the process of an app, such as how much is missing for the food you have requested through the Internet. The point is that This function is not available for all applicationsbut it must be the developers who adapt their apps to take advantage of. Notifications with live updates will appear in the notification panel, on the lock screen and on the screen always on. More notifications control Android 16 Forces the notifications that come from the same application. In this way, when you are in the notification panel, above the right You will see the number of notifications of each app In the event that there are more than one. You can click on this issue to expand and see all notifications better. And speaking of notifications, when you receive a lot of them from the same application in a short time of time, Android 16 automatically reduces the alert volume for a minute. Come on, instead of sounding a waterfall of notifications, they will be silenced a bit temporarily. Unified PHOTO SELECTOR for apps Android has added a function for Use a unified photo selector in apps. This means that, when you are going to load a photo in an app, instead of having each one a unified selector that opens your mobile photo gallery in a pop-up. The good news is that this will do everything more aesthetic and simple, and that access to the gallery is improved considerably. The bad news is that it is an API and It depends on developers Integrate this function into your applications.

Therefore, on Android 16 in the options of Language and region You can change several regional preferences such as Temperature units, the measurement systemor the first day of the week. For example, in some countries the week begins on Sunday instead of Monday, and the temperature can be measured in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, while the system of measures can be metric, American and British. You will be able to change all this. Tricks for the Viewer of apps in the background When you slide the finger down the screen on the screen, go to the visitor of execution applications. Here, When you click on an app icon A menu appears with several options, such as dividing the screen. In Android 16 The option to get a screen capture has been added to the app without entering it, directly from this viewfinder. It has also been included one option of Selectwhich serves to choose a concrete part of the screen of this app where to get the screenshot instead of removing it from the entire screen. You will even be able select the screen text of an app and copy it Without having to enter it, only with the preview that appears on this screen. Without a doubt something that at specific times can save you some time. Configure double touch When you press twice in the ignition button, the camera opens. However, in many Android 16 mobiles it allows you to choose between the camera or Google Wallet in the event that you have it configured. So, You will have two options for this gestureand you can choose the one that best suits you from the section of Gestures In the section System of the configuration.

These protections also detect by the movement if your mobile has been stolen and blocks it automatically, in addition to protecting you against spam calls.

You also have A button to configure gesture navigationand determine aspects such as the sensitivity of gestures. In addition, on this Android 16 configuration screen has added a button Try one demowhich serves to test the navigation by gestures with the changes you have made.

The cheap mobile was seriously injured in Europe. The energy label can advise the coup de grace

by

Today, June 20, 2025, it is a before and after for those phones that are sold in Spain. From this date, every manufacturer who wants to distribute their new products in Europe will have to add The energy label in its box. It is an effort at European level to guarantee compliance with Regulation on Ecological Designaffecting mobile phones, wireless landlines and tablets. In addition to forcing manufacturers to introduce this label, changes relating to the support years arrive They will have to give to every new mobile. These changes in the design, software and product life of the product paint well. But the question is who is going to pay the duck. What changes. From now on, manufacturers have to introduce the new energy labeling in every mobile that they want to put on sale. In it, they are collected data related to the energy efficiency of the samereliability in free fall, autonomy measured per cycle, supported battery cycles, Water and dust resistance protocols and repair index. In addition to informing about ecological design, manufacturers will be obliged to make draft changes throughout the chain process: from how they manufacture the phone to What happens to him with the guarantee time. The updates. Smartphones manufacturers will have to guarantee five years of updates (dry updates, not mandatory version jump) for each and every one of their phones. It is something that great manufacturers such as Samsung, Google, Honor, Xiaomi and Motorola They were already doing with some of their most recent mobiles. The key is precisely in that “some.” Each system update, however small, entails: A team of active software engineers dedicated to the project Quality control processes (internal tests, Google certifications to meet the requirements of each update) Operator certifications in the event that the phone is distributed through a third party Keep the ota infrastructure alive Costs that, in the case of low and medium -end devices, disappeared after the two years that used to be updated. Duplication support will entail an additional expense to companies on devices that leave tight margins: a device of less than 100 euros updating for five years does not seem the best business. And this is just a part of the cake. The new manufacturing standard. The EU focuses on the manufacture of the device. Manufacturers will be obliged to be more resistant to falls, scratches, splashes resistance, and batteries that promise a minimum of the 80% of its total capacity after 800 load cycles. Similarly, spare parts must be guaranteed for at least seven years since the product stops selling. Each and every one of the necessary components to repair the phone must be available to surrender within five to ten days. In summary. Consumers are going to win in two pillars. We will have better phones in the market. We will be able to inform ourselves in a single view of the quality in the ecological design of each of them. The problem is precisely what. Manufacturers will have to support five years. Manufacture, distribute and guarantee spare parts for seven. Introduce better batteries. Create phones more resistant to falls and scratches. Ensure compliance with splash resistance protocols Who pays it. In Europe we are buying increasingly expensive mobiles. So much so that there are more users buying phones of more than 800 euros than users buying mobiles of less than 200 euros. In fact, one of the main reasons why shipments in Europe fell into the first quarter of 2025 has to do precisely The fall in the input range mobile demand. The lowest volume in this segment in the last decade. This segment is precisely one of the most affected will be seen by the normative change: mid -range devices (strip between 399 and 799 euros, according to consultants) and superiors already met a good part of the demands of the European Union. The big question is whether manufacturers will try to absorb these additional costs through the margin in more profitable ranges, or if economic ranges will face slight increases to continue fighting for positive yields.
