Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been given the thinner, sleeker glow-up we expected, if leaked hands-on photos are any indication. The trio of images posted by leaker @Jukanlosreve seemingly show what the next-gen Galaxy foldable will look like in the real world from a few different angles.
The new photographs mostly line up with what we’ve seen in previous renders, including the larger, slimmer chassis that’s reported to be around 4.5mm thick when open. That’s slimmer than its 5.6mm Galaxy Z Fold 6 predecessor and allows it to better compete against some of the slimmest foldables on the market from rivals like Google and Oppo. We won’t know its official measurements until the launch event next week, but given the SIM tray appears to occupy all available vertical space, it looks very skinny indeed. The speakers and microphone are also visible along the bottom edge of the device.
The redesigned camera array on the rear is distinct from that featured on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, replacing the chunky black rings around the camera lenses with slim silver ones. It contrasts nicely with the striking blue color option, which might be the “Blue Shadow” colorway mentioned in previous leaks.
We also have some new Galaxy Z Fold 7 specs courtesy of an EU smartphone label revealed by MysteryLupin, which lists the device as having the same battery life as its predecessor, that’s expected to last for up to 40 hours and 28 minutes on a single charge. The phone reportedly has an IP48 rating, which means it can be submerged under water for short periods of time, but it’s still susceptible to fine dust particles (like many foldables).

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Texas had a chance to solidify itself as the nation’s best college football team Saturday, but a rising star from Ohio State had different plans.
When running back CJ Baxter ran it on a fourth and 2 early in the contest, this linebacker was there to limit the play to a 1-yard gain. On a third-and-8 run by Arch Manning later in the quarter, he again held the gain to 1 yard. In the second quarter, with Texas looking to respond to an Ohio State touchdown, he sacked Manning on a third and 10.

As poet laureate Nick Saban put it a year ago today regarding the NIL era of college football, “If you don’t pay the right guys, you’ll be shit out of luck.”
UCLA looks to be shit out of luck. And Tennessee looks to be shit in luck.
It traces to the adventures of Nico Iamaleava. He wanted more from Tennessee than Tennessee wanted to pay. So Tennessee turned its back on Nico. Who transferred to UCLA. Which opened the door for UCLA quarterback Joey Aguilar to transfer to Tennessee.
Both quarterbacks debuted with their new teams on Saturday. It did not go well for UCLA.
“We got punched in the mouth,” Iamaleava said after the game.
For the game, he completed 11 of 22 passes for 136 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also led the team in rushing with 47 yards.
“Nico is a competitor,” coach Deshaun Foster said after the game. “He’s not gonna quit. He kept playing hard. We just gotta do a better job protecting him, keeping him upright.”
Meanwhile, Tennessee and Aguilar thumped Syracuse, 45-26. Aguilar completed 16 of 28 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns. His 34 yards rushing were fourth on the team. That only makes things worse for Iamaleava and UCLA.
“We take this as a learning experience,” Iamaleava said. “We’re gonna face many more tough opponents, and we gotta be ready.”
If not ready, willing, and able, UCLA could have the kind of season that could wash Foster out of Pasadena — and that could put Iamaleava back in the portal.
Get ready for the Blood Moon next week! Our natural satellite will turn crimson as it is experiencing a total eclipse. It will happen during the evening between September 7 and 8 (depending on the timezone) and will be seen by an enormous number of people worldwide. The moon will first go black as the Earth’s shadow covers it during the partial phase, before going full red, when it is completely eclipsed. The full event, from partiality to the full eclipse and then back to partiality, will take 3 hours, 29 minutes, and 24 seconds.
Where Will The Blood Moon Be Visible From?
If you want to see the whole spectacle from start to finish (including the dimming of the penumbral phase), you have plenty of places to pick from. Most of Asia, a sliver of East Africa, and Western Australia will get the complete eclipse. The rest of Africa, Australia, much of Europe, and the east coast of Brazil will get at least part of the totality and the partiality.
You can check Time&Date.com for precise timings to see the eclipse at your location.
How Is This Lunar Eclipse Record Breaking?
Thanks to the planetary alignment at the time of the eclipse, a record-breaking 7 billion people will be able to see the celestial event. Obviously, weather permitting, but up to 60 percent of the world’s population will be able to see the full eclipse, which is truly incredible.
If we consider at least partial views of the event, then the number goes up to 87 percent. We’re sure people in the Americas will be annoyed that they were not invited to this party… let’s consider it a cosmic retaliation for the first lunar eclipse of 2025, which took place in March and was basically an American exclusive.
For the March eclipse, the lunar mission Blue Ghost was on the Moon and operational at the time. It captured the incredible event as a solar eclipse, which you can see here.
To consider a completely different record, the longest eclipse observation, and likely the one with the least spectators, happened back in 1973, where scientists used a Concorde plane to travel across the path of totality for 74 minutes.
Excitingly, the longest eclipse of this century is still to come. It will happen on August 2, 2027, and it will last around 6 minutes and 23 seconds.
How Do Eclipses Happen?
The orbit of the Moon is slightly slanted with respect to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. If the two were the same, we would get a lunar and solar eclipse every month. Instead, they tend to happen more rarely, every six months or so (but certain years are better) when the Moon is at a node.
A node means that the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are aligned or in syzygy. A total lunar eclipse occurs at full Moon when the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon line up, so the Moon passes completely within the shadow. There are partial lunar eclipses, where the Moon doesn’t fully enter the shadow, and penumbral eclipses when the Moon only crosses the half-shadow.
For the Sun, there are total eclipses when the Sun is fully covered, partial, when only a bit of the Sun is obscured, and annular, when the Sun is fully covered but the Moon is at its most distant point in its orbit, so it doesn’t look big enough to block the whole solar disk.
The total lunar eclipse is also known as the blood Moon because, once in the shadow of the Earth, it turns red. The reason for this is that sunlight filters through the atmosphere of the Earth, losing the blue colors, just like the sky at sunset and sunrise. Our planet’s shadow has a bit of a crimson hue, coloring the Moon when no direct sunlight is reaching it.
