@ishpreet056 @thatjoshguy69 I beg to differ...

Google supports their older devices more. So can Samsung but they choose profits over sustainability. They want you buying a new phone every 6 months if you want all of the new features.

I struggle to fathom that the Fold 7, an almost 10 month old device, isn't "flagship" enough for Gemini Intelligence.
Based in their criteria, which is intentionally vague, the Fold 7 loses out because it doesn't support Gemini Nano v3, like the S26.
I'm very disappointed 😞

Gemini Intelligence has high Android spec requirements, likely won't support Pixel 9 or Galaxy Z Fold 7 9to5google.com/2026/05/15/gem… by @nexusben

@dannyxiety @techdroider This one pisses me off the most. Theoretically it's possible but apparently Google and Samsung have to work together some more

If your phone is not basically a flagship with long-term support, it won't get Gemini Intelligence
Gemini Intelligence Device Requirements:
- Strong on-device AI support (Gemini Nano v3+ with AI Core)
- Flagship processor required (top-end chipset only)
- Minimum 12GB RAM
- Better camera/media performance (HDR, low light, spatial audio)
- Strong gaming support with regular driver updates
- Stable performance with low crash rates
- Must pass Google’s Android 17 quality tests
- At least 5 Android updates + 6 years security updates

@anon8p @techdroider Yup. Already getting ripped off with the 8.5 update... Several features in the official release are missing from the beta versions
English

@techdroider I bet the people who bought the Pixel 9s and the Z Fold 7 are feeling every inch up right in the ass right now. Bruh 🙄

@_drewcrypt @techdroider I would say wrong on Snapdragon 8 elite. I have the Galaxy z fold 7 and apparently i'm not getting it...
English

@techdroider Supported chips
Snapdragon 8 Elite, 8 Elite Gen 5, 8 Gen 5, 8s Gen 4
Dimensity 9400, 9400+ and 9500 (Dimensity 9300+ probably)
Exynos 2600
Google Tensor G5

@Pirat_Nation Why? So they can find a way to register where the physical media is and what's it's metadata contains to then "kill" that disc? I see it coming like apple and third party screen and button replacements not having proper codes so they won't function properly...
English

Microsoft is working on a new system called Positron that could let Xbox players turn their physical game discs into digital copies.
The idea is simple: you put the disc in your console or drive, the system checks that you own the game, and then it adds a digital version to your Xbox account.
Once converted, the game would work with cloud gaming, play on many devices, and fit better with new hardware, while the physical disc would likely stop working afterward to stop people from sharing or selling the same copy.
We do not know which games would work, if it costs money, or when it might launch, and Microsoft has not confirmed it, so this is still just a rumor.

Glasses were placed in front of us but we did not drink them. I know that may be a confusing concept for Director Patel.

@KyleDTackett89 @UniverseIce It's just for the S26 series right now, so we'll have to wait until it comes out for the S25 series.
English

@UniverseIce What new features? I'm not buying a new phone every six months. Samsung has become trash with their new style of "Paywall". Galaxy z fold seven should have received more of not all the new features that the s26 has and they removed those from the beta in the final release >:(
English

@UniverseIce If this is going to keep happening, I might move on to a different brand... I've been a loyal Samsung fan for almost 20 years now...
English

@UniverseIce I'm starting to not care if they're going to keep locking features behind brand new phones. My Galaxy Z Fold 7 is less than a year old and they're treating it like a Galaxy s23 with the 8.5 update...

This animation is the best, I choose Samsung. My reasoning is that only Samsung's animation makes the origin and attribution of the cover clear.iOS and ColorOS music covers appear and disappear out of thin air.
