Samsung is getting ready to launch its new foldable phones – the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Fold7 – in early July. There has been some confusion about which processor the Flip7 will use, but a new report now says it’s likely to feature the Exynos 2500 chip.
This is big news because the Exynos 2500 was originally planned for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. However, Samsung faced problems producing enough of these chips, so it had to switch to the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the S25 lineup.
Now it seems those production issues have been solved, or Samsung is okay with using the Exynos chip in the Flip7 since it will likely sell in smaller numbers compared to the S-series phones.
If the rumor is true, the Galaxy Z Flip7 will be the first Samsung foldable to use an Exynos processor. The report says the Exynos 2500 will be used in most regions, including India and South Korea, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite might only be used in China and North America.
The Exynos 2500 is a powerful chip with ten CPU cores, including:
- 1 Cortex-X925 core (up to 3.3 GHz)
- 2 Cortex-A725 cores (up to 2.75 GHz)
- 5 Cortex-A725 cores (up to 2.36 GHz)
- 2 Cortex-A520 cores (up to 1.8 GHz)
It also comes with a new Xclipse 950 GPU, built using AMD’s latest RDNA 3.5 technology.
While this is still based on leaks, it’s exciting to see Samsung bring its Exynos chips back into the spotlight—especially in a foldable phone.
The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra is expected to have a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2800 x 1272 pixels. It could be powered by the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset, which runs at 3.73GHz.
It will come with a dual-cell 3,300mAh battery, giving it a total capacity of around 7,000mAh. The phone might also have a 50MP + 8MP dual rear camera setup and a 16MP front camera. It will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor, IR blaster, and will measure 163.41 x 77.04 x 8.10mm, weighing 206 grams.
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition – Rumored Specs
The Ace 5 Racing Edition is likely to feature a slightly smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2392 x 1080 pixels. It is said to use the Dimensity 9400e chipset, running at 3.4GHz, and may include a 6,930mAh rated battery, with a typical 7,000mAh capacity.
The camera setup could include a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor, along with a 16MP selfie camera. Other features include an in-screen fingerprint scanner, IR blaster, and it may measure 163.58 x 76.02 x 8.27mm, with a weight of 199 grams.
More Features and Variants
Both phones are expected to support 100W fast charging and come with the Plus Key feature, first seen on the OnePlus 13T.
The Racing Edition may launch in Wilderness Green, White, and Rock Black colors, with storage options of:
- 12GB RAM + 256GB
- 12GB RAM + 512GB
- 16GB RAM + 256GB
- 16GB RAM + 512GB
The Ultra Edition might come in Breeze Blue, Titanium, and Phantom Black, with the same options plus an extra 16GB RAM + 1TB variant.
Nothing has officially started teasing its next smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), on social media. The company has now confirmed that the phone will launch in July 2025.
On their social handles, Nothing posted a short 6-second video showing the number 3, followed by the message:
“3. It’s a magic number.”
This teaser confirms both the name and the launch month of the upcoming phone.
Now remains the actual date of the launch event. So it could be in the first week or the second week of July.
What to Expect from Nothing Phone (3)
Recently, Carl Pei, the founder of Nothing, shared some exciting details. He said that the Phone (3) will feature premium materials, major performance upgrades, and better software. He called it “our true flagship smartphone.”
Carl also mentioned that technology should feel exciting again—not just in terms of design, but also with a user-first operating system.
So now, let’s see what the specs of the upcoming phone will be. It will surely have top-notch features, but the major question is about the chipset—will they go with the latest one, or take a step back?
Akis Evangelidis , co-founder of Nothing, also said: ‘Two years in the making. Our first true flagship. Over the past four years, we’ve been steadily building our product capabilities, and Phone (3) is the culmination of it all. I’m buzzing about it, just like when we launched Phone (1). Can’t wait!’
Expected Price of Nothing Phone (3)
Carl Pei hinted that the Phone (3) could be priced around £800 (about USD 1,064 or Rs. 90,850). For comparison, the Nothing Phone (2) with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage was launched at £629 (around USD 836 or Rs. 71,429) and was priced at Rs. 54,999 in India.
Based on this, the Nothing Phone (3) could launch in India at over Rs. 64,999, especially if the 12GB + 256GB model is the base variant. The phone is also expected to include advanced AI features, which could impact the pricing.
