A new leak points towards a Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch dateWe also have details on colors and spec optionsPricing might be the same as last year in most parts of the worldWe've already heard plenty of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 rumors in recent months, but a flurry of new leaks just appeared, covering release dates, colors, storage options, and pricing.First up, reliable tipster Ice Universe (via Android Authority) says the foldables will launch at the same time as last year – which would be July 10. However, as the Android Authority report points out, there is some debate among leakers about whether that's accurate.All the signs are certainly pointing towards July, to match the 2024 schedule for Samsung's flagship foldable phones, but we'll have to wait and see whether this July 10 prediction is correct. Time zone calculations need to be considered too, because Samsung's home of South Korea is some 13 hours ahead of the US east coast.Whenever the foldables show up, in most countries they should match last year's models in terms of pricing, according to tipster PandaFlash (via 9to5Google). Last year's Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 started at $1,899 / £1,799 / AU$2,749, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 started at $1,099.99 / £1,049 / AU$1,799.Colors and specsGalaxy Z Fold7: 12+256GB 12+512GB 16+1TB Silver ShadowBlue ShadowJetblackCoralredJune 3, 2025Next, there are a bunch of leaks from WinFuture and tipster Arsène Lupin about the colors and spec options on these handsets. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is said to be coming in black, blue, coral red, and silver colors, with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage on board.As for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, the colors here are expected to be black, blue, and coral red. As for specs, we're looking at 8GB or 12GB of RAM, plus 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage. However, there are some discrepancies between the two sources, so as usual we'll have to wait for full confirmation from Samsung.The more affordable Galaxy Z Flip FE also gets a mention. In this case you get 8GB of RAM plus 128GB or 256GB of storage, and the predicted colors are black or white. This phone may well show up at the same time as the other foldables.It looks likely to be a busy Samsung Unpacked event in July, with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and perhaps a Samsung tri-fold also set to make an appearance. As always, we'll bring you all the official news as it's announced.You might also likeFuture Samsung foldables could get a titanium upgradeThese are the best foldables available nowThe Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 will launch with One UI 8

Microsoft is changing Edge for the better in the European Economic AreaThis is happening due to the Digital Markets Act in that regionIt means Edge will stop nagging to be the default browserMicrosoft is relenting with its constant prompting of folks to use the Edge browser under Windows 11, but not everyone is getting this welcome relief.Sadly, the pushing of Edge in some notable ways is only being curtailed in the European Economic Area (EEA) due to rules imposed by the Digital Markets Act. With no such regulatory pressure in the US or elsewhere, these restrictions on Edge aren’t happening.TechSpot noticed Microsoft’s blog post introducing these various changes, the key one being that Edge will stop annoying you to set it as the default browser in Windows 10 and Windows 11. It’ll only prompt a request to be your go-to app for web browsing if you open Edge directly, and this feature has already been implemented as of the end of May, with version 137.0.3296.52 of the browser.Another change is that when Edge is uninstalled, you won’t get other Microsoft apps telling you to reinstall it.Furthermore, when you set any web browser as your default choice, it’ll have a whole lot more file formats (and link types) tied to it, rather than having Edge still open some file types. This stood as another sneaky way to get Edge back on your radar after you’ve chosen to give it a wide berth.Additionally, when using the Windows search box and clicking on a web search result, it will be opened in your chosen default browser, rather than Edge, in Bing.All these changes should be in place soon, and will be rolling out in June in the EEA, save for the main one, which is already in place as noted.Away from Edge, another potentially sizeable plus point for Windows users in this region is that they’ll be able to uninstall the Microsoft Store, should they wish. That move won’t be coming until later in 2025, though.Microsoft clarifies that if you remove the Microsoft Store, but have already used it to install some apps, that software will continue to receive updates in order to ensure it gets the latest security patches, which is good news.Analysis: Give us all a break, Microsoft(Image credit: Shutterstock)These are welcome moves for Windows 11 and 10 users in this region, but it’d be nice if Microsoft could implement them elsewhere as well. However, without the relevant authorities breathing down the neck of the software giant, it won’t do anything of the sort. All these behaviors will persist outside the EEA because Microsoft clearly believes they may help drive more users to Edge.When in fact they are more likely to drive people up the wall. Repeatedly insisting that folks should use Edge in scenarios of varying degrees of overreach is a tiresome policy, as is popping up Edge whenever possible, rather than using the default browser choice. That should always be the default; no matter what’s happening, the clue is in the name, Microsoft.Don’t expect Microsoft’s overall attitude to change anytime soon. Still, at least some people will get to enjoy a slightly less nag-laden experience in Windows 11, and fewer instances of Edge clambering onto their monitor screen in a bid to remind them that it exists. However, the majority of us can doubtless expect more pop-ups and general weirdness in terms of some of the more left-field efforts Microsoft has made to promote its browser.You might also likeCan’t upgrade your laptop to Windows 11?

Crocodilus Android trojan has been updated with new featuresAmong them is the ability to add a fake contact and trick people into accepting callsThe contacts don't sync with Google, experts saySecurity researchers have spotted a new Android malware variant called Crocodilus, and what makes it stand out is the ability to add new contacts to the target device’s contacts list.Crocodilus was first spotted in late March 2025 by security researchers Threat Fabric, when it was described as a “highly capable mobile banking Trojan” using different techniques such as overlay attacks, keylogging, and abuse of Android’s Accessibility Services, to steal sensitive data, access people’s bank accounts, steal cryptocurrency, and more.Now, the researchers are claiming the Trojan is evolving to bypass classic defense mechanisms and wreak even more havoc. One of the key newly introduced features is the ability to modify the contact list on an infected device.Bank support“Upon receiving the command “TRU9MMRHBCRO”, Crocodilus adds a specified contact to the victim’s contact list,” Threat Fabric explained.The goal of this feature is not only to increase the attacker’s control over the device, but also to make attacks harder to detect.“We believe the intent is to add a phone number under a convincing name such as “Bank Support”, allowing the attacker to call the victim while appearing legitimate,” the researchers explained. “This could also bypass fraud prevention measures that flag unknown numbers.”The good news is that the fake contact will not make it into people’s Google accounts, so it won’t show up on other devices.Numerous other improvements were introduced in the latest version, as well, which are mostly focused on evading traditional detection mechanisms. Furthermore, the malware now seems to have expanded its target scope, from focusing mostly on Turkey, to going global.Android malware and Trojans are usually distributed through fake and third-party app stores, social media channels, and email.Therefore, users are advised to only download Android apps from reputable sources (such as the Google Play Store, or Galaxy Store), and even there - to be careful. Reading through the reviews, minding the download count, and checking the developer’s reputation is a good way to spot malware.Via BleepingComputerYou might also likeThese dangerous Android malware apps have been installed millions of timesTake a look at our guide to the best authenticator appWe've rounded up the best password managers
