LAHORE – Samsung has confirmed that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on July 22 in London, where the company is expected to introduce its latest foldable smartphones and other Galaxy devices.

The event is scheduled to begin at 6:00pm Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) and will be streamed live through Samsung’s official website and YouTube channel.

While Samsung has not officially revealed the names of the upcoming products, the company said the event will showcase its latest Galaxy innovations as it continues to expand its foldable smartphone portfolio.

Recent teaser videos released by Samsung hint at a foldable smartphone with a wider design, suggesting a significant redesign for the Galaxy Z Fold series.

When is the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series expected?

According to recent leaks and industry reports, Samsung could introduce two book-style foldable smartphones for the first time.

The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to feature a wider main display, offering a more practical aspect ratio for watching videos and multitasking. Reports also suggest Samsung may reduce the rear camera setup from three cameras to two in an effort to lower production costs.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to become the flagship foldable in Samsung’s lineup. It is rumoured to feature an upgraded processor, improved display technology with a less visible crease, three rear cameras and faster charging support.

Samsung has not confirmed these specifications.

If the reports prove accurate, it would mark the first time the company launches two book-style foldable smartphones during the same Galaxy Unpacked event.

What’s the expected price?

Industry reports suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could be priced below the previous-generation Galaxy Z Fold 7, positioning it as a more affordable option.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, on the other hand, is expected to become Samsung’s most premium foldable smartphone and may carry a higher price tag than the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Samsung has yet to announce official pricing.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 also expected

Samsung is also widely expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 8 during the event.

The clamshell foldable is rumoured to feature a redesigned hinge, improved performance and a lighter body. However, reports indicate that the overall design may remain largely unchanged because of ongoing global RAM supply constraints.

Which of the other devices?

In addition to foldable smartphones, Samsung could also announce several wearable devices. The expected lineup includes the Galaxy Watch 9, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and Samsung’s Android XR smart glasses.However, some of these products could be introduced at a separate launch event later this year.

Key points:

• X has introduced a new video recording and editing tool for iOS users.
• The editor includes multilingual captions and a green-screen feature.
• The company aims to encourage creators to publish original content on X.
• More improvements to the video editor are expected in the coming weeks.
• X continues to battle bots, recycled videos, and competition from TikTok, YouTube, and Meta.
• Video posts now account for nearly half of all impressions on X.

BERLIN – X has introduced a new video recording and editing tool for its iOS application as the social media platform seeks to encourage creators to publish original content instead of reposting videos from other platforms.

According to TechCrunch, the new editor is currently available only on iOS. The Android version has not yet received the feature because the application is still being rebuilt.

The latest update adds several editing tools designed to simplify video production directly within X.

What are the tools of the Editor?

The editor allows creators to add captions in multiple languages while also giving them the ability to customise the appearance of those captions.

Another notable addition is a green-screen feature that enables users to place photos stored on their phones or existing X posts behind their videos, offering greater flexibility for content creation.

X’s Head of Product, Nikita Bier, said supporting original creators and providing better production tools remain among the company’s top priorities. He added that additional improvements to the editor will be introduced over the coming weeks.

What does X want from this editor?

X Wants More Original Content

The new editor forms part of X’s broader strategy to increase the amount of original content published on the platform.

Bier has previously said that many of the platform’s largest accounts frequently repost recycled or stolen videos that originally gained popularity on other social media platforms several years ago.

While improved editing tools may encourage some creators to produce exclusive content for X, reposting existing videos continues to be an easier method for many accounts to attract views and generate revenue.

The growing competition in the market

X continues to face intense competition from TikTok, YouTube and Meta, all of which offer established creator programmes and more consistent monetisation opportunities.

Industry observers believe creators are unlikely to publish content exclusively on X unless the platform can provide dependable earnings alongside a large and active audience.

The company also trails some competitors in copyright protection. Meta allows eligible Reels creators to identify copied videos and either block them or add attribution links, while YouTube provides systems for detecting and requesting the removal of unauthorised uploads.

How bots cause a nuisance?

Automated accounts remain another obstacle to X’s efforts to build a stronger creator ecosystem.

Bier said in April that the platform was detecting and suspending around 208 bots every minute. He also revealed that nearly half of X’s product team had been focused on reducing spam across the platform.

The challenge is not unique to X. Reddit has introduced AI-powered tools to tackle increasing spam generated by large language models, while Digg recently shut down its application after saying it lacked the resources needed to combat widespread spam.

The role of videos on X

According to Bier, video posts now account for nearly half of all impressions on X, highlighting the format’s growing importance.

The company has recently introduced several creator-focused video features, including React with Video, which enables users to create green-screen or split-screen responses to existing posts.

Analysts say X will likely need to combine improved creation tools with stronger copyright protection, consistent monetisation and continued action against bots if it hopes to attract more creators producing exclusive content for the platform.

Key points: 

• Multi-Device Support: Anthropic is launching the Claude Cowork expansion, bringing the AI agent to iOS, Android, and web browsers. 

• Cloud-Powered Sessions: Therefore, tasks now run autonomously in the cloud, meaning operations continue even when laptops are closed. 

• Non-Coding Focus: Newly released data reveals that over 90% of tasks are used for general business operations rather than programming. 

• Rolling Beta: Consequently, the update is rolling out in beta over the coming weeks, starting with Claude Max subscribers. 

ISLAMABAD – The official Claude Cowork expansion has arrived to transform how professionals manage automated workflows across multiple devices. This update shifts the multi-step AI assistant from a desktop-only application into a flexible, cloud-based cross-platform tool.

As a result, users can now assign complex tasks, track active progress, and approve finished files from any web browser or mobile phone. The feature originally launched as a standalone desktop app. However, beta access is now rolling out directly inside the standard Claude apps for iOS and Android.

Seamless Background Monitoring and Cloud Control 

Because of this cloud migration, the Claude Cowork expansion completely untethers the AI from your local hardware. Sessions now run securely on Anthropic’s remote servers. For this reason, automated tasks will continue executing even if a user closes their laptop or goes entirely offline. For example, you can easily initiate a research project at your desk, leave the office, and monitor live progress directly from your smartphone. 

Furthermore, if the AI agent hits a bottleneck or requires specific human guidance, it sends an interactive notification directly to the user’s phone. The user can then instantly redirect the workflow or input required data. Nevertheless, Anthropic emphasizes that the human remains entirely in control, as no emails are sent or files finalized without explicit user approval. 

“The desktop application will still serve as the main hub for deep local work, as it retains direct access to local files,” Anthropic clarified. “However, the web and mobile expansion opens the tool to users who cannot install desktop apps.” 

AI Agents Pivot Toward General Administration 

This widespread rollout highlights a major shift in how tech companies position AI agents. While tools like OpenAI’s Codex started primarily as software development assistants, Anthropic is steering Cowork to be a general administrative partner. In addition, Anthropic released an aggregated study of 1.2 million Cowork sessions across 600,000 organizations to prove this trend. 

The data confirms that everyday office tasks dominate the platform. For instance, business operations accounted for 33.4% of usage, including compiling spreadsheets and formatting HR checklists. Meanwhile, content creation represented 16.4% of tasks. Finally, software development accounted for only 8.7% of activity. Therefore, the findings show that more than 90% of overall usage occurs outside of traditional programming. 

Project Technical Overview 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

What does the Claude Cowork expansion allow users to do? 

It allows professionals to delegate multi-step administrative tasks to Claude and manage them across mobile devices and web browsers without needing the desktop app open or online. 

Can Claude Cowork run while my computer is turned off? 

Yes, because of the new cloud infrastructure, scheduled or active tasks run completely in the background even if your laptop is closed, turned off, or disconnected from the internet. 

Do I need to know how to code to use Claude Cowork? 

Not at all. While it shares an architecture with coding tools, company data shows over 90% of its use cases are for non-technical office work, like managing spreadsheets, organizing files, and drafting documents.
