Samsung Z Fold 8 goes wider and shorter, landing between Flip and Fold

Samsung has unveiled the Z Fold 8, its latest foldable smartphone, featuring a notably wider and shorter form factor compared to previous Fold models.

This marks the second consecutive year Samsung has significantly redesigned the Z Fold, having introduced a thinner build just last year. Hands-on impressions suggest the unconventional proportions feel comfortable and intuitive despite appearing awkward in photos. The Z Fold 8 is one of multiple new foldables Samsung is releasing this year.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Review: A Foldable That Feels Like a Regular Phone

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 8 is the company's latest flip-style foldable smartphone, featuring a 6.9-inch internal AMOLED display and a 4.1-inch cover screen.

This year's model is notably thinner and lighter than the Z Flip 7, with an expanded cover screen experience that allows for more full-featured use. A Verge reviewer who spent three hours with the phone noted it feels increasingly like a conventional smartphone.

Meta launches Content Seal AI watermarking tool amid doubts over its reliability

Meta's Oversight Board urged the company in March to use its own tools to curb the spread of deceptive AI-generated content. In response, Meta introduced Content Seal in July, an invisible watermarking system designed to flag images produced by its AI models. The feature was quietly announced alongside the launch of Meta's Muse image and video generation tools.

2026 Honda Prelude Returns as a Tech-Forward Hybrid Grand Touring Coupe

Honda is reviving the Prelude nameplate for 2026, positioning it as a technology-focused hybrid grand touring coupe rather than a traditional performance car. The Prelude has historically been a showcase for Honda engineering innovations, including F1-derived fuel injection in its second generation and four-wheel steering in the third generation during the late 1980s. The fourth-generation model was notably the first mainstream Honda to adopt the NSX's VTEC system. The 2026 version continues this legacy by centering its appeal on advanced hybrid technology rather than conventional high-revving engines. Honda aims to blend driving enjoyment with cutting-edge engineering in the new model's sleek coupe package.
