A $2,650 Sirin V3 phone launched as rebadged Galaxy S21 with military-grade security

Around three years ago, Sirin Labs made its debut in the smartphone market with its first attempt by launching the world’s first blockchain smartphone called Finney. Moving on, the company has recently launched its second smartphone named Sirin V3.
According to the info, Sirin V3 features almost the same configuration and features like Samsung’s latest Galaxy S21 flagship but it is equipped with the highest level of security. Consumers can regard it as a rebranded Galaxy S21 that comes with a price tag of $2650.
The new Sirin V3 is said to offer top-level information security and network protection capabilities including dual identity functions, which allows users to seamlessly switch between personal mode and confidential workspace mode.
Sirin V3 incorporates two totally separated and protected zones with its Dual-Persona solution. Personal space ( on the left) for the user to install apps from Google Play Store only for his own personal usage.
At the same time, Secured space ( on the right) – a highly secured and encrypted partition. In this space, no apps can be installed except for the pre-loaded apps. It contains a military-grade anonymous encrypted call app ( end to end ).
Aside from this, consumers can also download apps in personal mode, restrict whitelist or blacklist applications, and prohibit some potentially risky behaviors, such as keyboard replacement, USB debugging, safe mode, factory reset, and download mode at startup.
It is important to mention that the military-grade security performance of the Sirin V3 smartphone is its main selling point. Besides, this device also has a multi-layer network security suite, including a behavior and machine learning-based intrusion prevention system (IPS) for real-time active network protection.

Samsung Galaxy S26 series to divide Snapdragon and Exynos chips: Full regional breakdown

Samsung Galaxy S26 series may split chips (Snapdragon and Exynos) once again. A new report suggests that the company is likely to repeat its 2024 chip diversification strategy, which was a bit hit with the Galaxy S24 series.
According to Newspim (via Jukanlosreve), Samsung may launch the Galaxy S26 series with a dual chip strategy, bringing Exynos back to the game, after facing huge cost burdens in the Galaxy S25 series due to Snapdragon exclusivity.
Full regional breakdown [Unofficial]
The report suggests that the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus would use Exynos 2600, manufactured using the 2nm process. The Exynos models will likely be available in most markets outside North America and select Asian countries.
The Galaxy S26 series will solely use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 in North America, China, Japan, and South Korea, the report suggests. However, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be powered by a Snapdragon processor, regardless of the country.
Here’s a more details distribution:
Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus/Edge
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2
- North America, including the US
- China
- Japan
- South Korea
Exynos 2600
- Global market, including
- Africa
- Asia (excluding CN, JP, SK)
- Europe
- Middle East
Galaxy S26 Ultra
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2
- All regions and countries like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Exynos 2600
- Limited to non-Ultra models in the Global market.
Samsung was quite ambitious for the 3nm-based Exynos 2500. However, the product ended up resting in research labs at the time of S25’s launch. It is now expected to be used in the Galaxy Z Flip7, with the Flip FE getting Exynos 2400.
The Exynos 2600 could be manufactured using a 2nm process node. Samsung is aiming to equip the Galaxy S26 models with its in-house chipset, but the commercialization can’t be expected until the yield reaches the production threshold.
Regarding Samsung’s likely decision, industry insiders assume that the company could be pursuing a strategy to secure Exynos competitiveness in less sensitive markets, as the success of Exynos is critical for Samsung Electronics.

Leaked CADs reveal Galaxy Z Fold 7 slimness, Z Flip 7 prioritizes battery upgrade

There’s a lot of confusion about the dimensions of the next Samsung foldables. While the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumored to be the world’s thinnest foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is prioritizing battery upgrade over slimness, leaked CAD suggests.
Amid intensifying rumors, we’ve got some authentic news about the Samsung foldables via SamMobile. The publication claims to have received credible CAD files of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, revealing dimensions.
Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung’s Z Fold 7 may lag behind the Oppo Find N5 by a hair in slimness. The smartphone is said to be 4.54mm thin and nearly 9mm when folded. The dimensions are expected to be 158.43 x 143.14 x 4.54mm in the unfolded state.
The device will retain a triple camera setup on the back, replacing the 50MP primary shooter with an upgraded 200MP sensor. The remaining two rear camera, front camera would be the same, with improvements likely in UDC.

Galaxy Z Flip 7
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may be 6.94mm thick when unfolded, matching its predecessor. This doesn’t mean Samsung hasn’t worked on refining the internals. The company did, and it is set to reflect in terms of battery capacity, boosted by 300mAh.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7’s possible dimensions are 166.61 x 75.23 x 6.84mm, with the camera bump upping the thickness to 9.17mm. A full-view cover screen is also on the cards, replacing the existing folder-icon style outer panel.

Earlier, a Korean media outlet reported that Samsung has opted for a Titanium backplate for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Tri-Fold models. It would replace the conventional material to reduce weight without compromising reliability.
Samsung will likely reveal the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 in July this year. The phones will ship with new Android 16-based One UI 8 OS, modern Snapdragon and Exynos chipsets, new Galaxy AI features, and enhanced experiences.

First look? Alleged Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak shows wide cover hands-on

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 this July, but an image leak just revealed a wide cover display and hands-on of one of the upcoming foldables. The device seems real, which could have been supplied to a portion of users for evaluation.
The image leak shows a hands-on of an alleged Galaxy Z Fold 7 from its camera side. The camera sensor placement is quite similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung has also adjusted the LED flash placement, bringing it around the middle of the bump.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 apparently adopted S25 Ultra-like, slightly rounded corners. The leaked colorway also matches the signature hue of the S25 Ultra. The in-hand feel, in image, points to a wider cover screen experience.
Not much, but Samsung is redefining the cover screen experience with its next Fold model. The outer screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is going to be 6.5 inches, up from the 6.3-inch panel that debuted in the Galaxy Z Fold 6 last year.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to embrace larger screen panels. The cover could be 6.5 inches, while the inner display could be approximately 8.2 inches. The next Fold could be slimmest in the segment over all the market rivals.

Via – Alchimist Leaks / Telegram
Samsung could unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 in early July this year. The new foldables will debut modern chipsets (Snapdragon 8 Elite in Fold, Exynos 2500 in Flip), battery efficient screens and new Android 16 pre-installed.
For thickness and weight reduction, the company has reportedly adopted an internal hinge made of Titanium. It’s coming to the next Fold model and probably the Tri-Fold after successful deployment in last year’s Special Edition Fold.

Galaxy S25 Edge uses Samsung battery, unlike S25 Ultra

Samsung SDI is the sole initial supplier of the Galaxy S25 Edge battery. The company leans on its SDI business for the batteries of its latest slim phone. It’s a strategic change from the Galaxy S25 series’ initial battery supplies.
Notably, Samsung sourced batteries for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra from Samsung SDI and China’s ATL. The Chinese vendor was also included in the initial supplies, while the unit volume was comparatively lower than SDI.
Samsung SDI supplied Galaxy S25 Edge battery
Korea’s TheElec reports that Samsung sourced the Galaxy S25 Edge battery from Samsung SDI. The division is the sole supplier for the initial units, and the company may join China’s ATL for the units to be produced in the future.
While Samsung favors SDI, it also trades with China’s ATL and BYD, as well as Korea’s LG Energy Solution. While the suppliers are diverse, there’s no need to worry about quality, as every component is tested by Samsung.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge uses a 3900mAh battery. It’s smaller than the Galaxy S25’s 4000mAh battery due to reduced thickness (5.8mm). However, the company claims the device offers all-day battery life despite its small size.
A recent early hands-on test showed that the Galaxy S25 Edge offers comparatively similar battery life to the Galaxy S25. With optimized software, the S25 Edge is expected to match the battery life of the vanilla Galaxy S25 model.
Looking forward
Samsung could adopt a new battery technology in future Galaxy flagships. The company is considering the same battery tech that debuted with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It is aimed at complying with EU regulations for replaceable batteries.
While it’s not the anticipated solid-state battery, the new solution may offer even longer-lasting backup. However, the new battery has a drawback of being thick due to abandoning the pouch-like packaging mechanism.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Tri-Fold to embrace Titanium for slim and lightweight design

Samsung may expand the use of Titanium to its Galaxy Z Fold7 and Tri-Fold devices. A new report indicates that the company is considering replacing the backplate material to make its new foldables slimmer and lightweight.
According to TheElec, Samsung may use a Titanium backplate in the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Tri-Fold. Replacing the conventional backplate material with Titanium will help the company in making sleek and lighter foldables.
It comes after the brand experimented with the new Galaxy Z Fold SE solution last year. This key component, made of Titanium, unlocks the potential of reducing the thickness and weight without compromising on durability.
The backplate (internal hinge) is a key component in Samsung’s foldable smartphones. This solution acts as a support between the foldable panel and the hinge. It adds etching processes to the folding parts to help the hinge operate.
Despite being difficult to process, Samsung is expected to rely on a Titanium internal hinge. The move is aimed at installing the internal hinge, which is thin, light, yet strong, targeting the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy G Fold (Tri-Fold).
Removal of the digitizer in the Galaxy Z Fold SE helped Samsung reduce the thickness by 0.6mm. However, it ditched S Pen input support from the device, which seems unlikely in this year’s mainstream foldable model.
The Z Fold7 is said to be nearly 9mm thick when folded and 4mm when unfolded. The cover and inner displays would also be larger than its predecessor. For the future Fold model, Samsung Display has been developing a digitizer-less S Pen panel.
The Korean tech giant may launch the new foldable phones this Summer. Reports point to July Unpacked for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 unveiling. However, Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed tentative dates for the foldable debut.
