What do you think of Samsung's new foldable devices?

Samsung unveiled its new foldable devices at its Galaxy Unpacked last week, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE.  One of the highlights of this year's releases is the remarkable thinness of the Fold 7 and Flip 7. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 4.2mm thick when unfolded and 8.9mm thick when folded. When I held it at Unpacked, it felt like I was carrying a regular smartphone, not a foldable.  The Flip 7 also underwent the same slim-down treatment as the Fold 7, measuring just 6.5mm thick when unfolded and 13.7 mm when folded. Surprisingly, despite the slimmed-down size of both phones, battery life hasn't been affected. The Z Fold 7 features a 4,400mAh battery (the same as the Fold 6), while the Flip 7 boasts a larger 4,300mAh battery, the largest in a Samsung Z Flip device yet. The Flip 7 FE didn't receive much attention at Unpacked, but essentially, it's a Galaxy Z Flip 6 rebranded as a Flip 7 FE with an Exynos 2400 chipset and a lower price tag of $900. Far cheaper th

Have you jumped on any Amazon Prime Day 2025 deals yet?

Prime Day is an annual shopping event hosted by US e-commerce giant Amazon. For 2025, the event takes place from Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11, with sale prices discoverable across Amazon's massive digital storefront. As ever, a number of consumer technology-related gadgets and gizmos are being temporarily listed at discounted rates, ranging from gaming products, to TVs, and just about everything in between. If you're a paid Amazon Prime member, have you pulled the trigger on any exciting or hard-to-resist items currently on sale? Is there a particular tech product that you've been holding out on in the hopes of a Prime Day promotional tag? Or, alternatively, are you unimpressed with this year's selection of reduced price points on the whole? You can check out Pocket-lint's ongoing Amazon Prime Day 2025 coverage by following this link.

How often do you use mobile wallet apps to pay for things?

I'll be honest, I almost never use actual plastic to pay for purchases. Ever since I started using Apple Wallet a few years ago, I have absolutely loved the convenience of being able to leave my actual wallet in my bag and pay for purchases using my phone, which is typically in my pocket and much easier to reach. And apparently, I'm not alone. According to Capital One, as of January 2025, 30% of point-of-sale transactions globally were made using digital wallets, more than any other payment type. Though I've seen plenty of folks in my normal life out and about still using plastic, it's clear that mobile wallets are becoming more and more common in retail settings, and could definitely see them become the default way to pay in the coming years. Do you use mobile wallets for purchases?
