All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there\u2019s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP 4x camera with 8x lossless zoom.<\/p>\n<p> Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p>However, Samsung has inevitably <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SamsungMobileUS\/status\/1965777296901497307\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">criticized Apple\u2019s launch event on Twitter<\/a>, calling it a \u201cZzz-note.\u201d The company posted the tweet as part of a competition announcement, where it promises to give away a Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. US Twitter users can enter by responding to the post and telling Samsung why they want to switch to Galaxy devices.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_tg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Samsung US competition Apple launch\"  alt=\"Samsung US competition Apple launch\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Samsung-US-competition-Apple-launch.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s rich of Samsung to call Apple\u2019s event a \u201cZzz-note\u201d when its own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s25-3437280\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S25 series<\/a> launch was a dull affair. All three phones were very conservative upgrades compared to rivals. The three S25 devices got a new chipset, while the S25 Ultra received Gorilla Armor 2 display protection and a 50MP ultrawide camera. Samsung even downgraded the S Pen by removing Bluetooth functionality. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus received little in the way of significant hardware upgrades, save for more RAM on the base model. So the company has no leg to stand on when it comes to boring launches.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, Samsung finally has a genuinely exciting foldable upgrade with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-review-3584443\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>. The new Fold has a thin and light design that dukes it out with rivals, as well as a 200MP main camera. Apple is only tipped to offer a foldable iPhone in 2026. So I guess it makes sense for Samsung to be giving away the Fold 7 as part of this competition rather than a Galaxy S25 series phone.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
