Samsung may launch a Tri-Fold device this year, the S23 FE isn't happening

Another week, another contradictory rumor regarding the death or resurrection of the mythical Samsung Fan Edition line. This time around, it's bad news - apparently the Galaxy S23 FE isn't happening after all. That may be sad and all that, but on the other hand, the same source brings us an incredibly intriguing flip side to this rumor. The Korean company is said to be working on a "Tri-Fold" device, and this "might finally ship this year". That's the prototypical "big if true" news, since for the past few years we've basically had single-hinge foldables. This promises to be a...

Global or Indian iQOO Z7 Pro runs Geekbench with Snapdragon 782G on board

Last week iQOO announced an India-exclusive Z7, then followed yesterday by the Z7 for China, which is a completely different device. However, it looks like the vivo sub-brand is now working on bringing the Chinese Z7 to India and other countries outside of China, only under the Z7 Pro moniker, rather confusingly. This device has been spotted in Geekbench's online database, and it's powered by the same Snapdragon 782G SoC as the Chinese Z7. The prototype that ran the benchmark had Android 13 installed, unsurprisingly, and 12GB of RAM on board, although we assume other memory options will...
