Get a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 SE Foldable Phone for Just $700 With This Limited-Time Deal

Non-folding phones are so yesterday’s news, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 SE is $200 off right now.

It’s fair to say that foldable phones have really come of age in recent years, and you don’t have to spend $1,500 to get a good one anymore. The recently-released Samsung Galaxy Z Flip SE is a great example, and right now you can get yours for even less — order now, and you’ll pay just $700 for yours.

This handset would normally sell for around $900, so this $200 saving is well worth having. You can choose between black and white for your new flip phone, but we don’t expect this price to stick around for long. Order yours now to make sure you lock in this special price.

This foldable phone comes with a large 6.7-inch inner display while the outer display comes in at 3.4 inches. That’s perfect for seeing notifications and whatnot, while the inner display is where you’ll spend most of your time. Being able to fold the phone in half means it’ll take up much less room in your bag or pocket — there’s a reason flip phones were so popular a couple of decades ago, after all.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

This model has 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, while photos and videos will be taken using the main 50-megapixel camera. A secondary 12-megapixel camera handles ultrawide capture. There’s also support for 10x digital zoom, while a 10-megapixel selfie camera is also present.

One cool feature of this particular foldable is FlexMode. Pop the phone down on a table and angle the top half upwards and you can get the perfect hands-free camera angle while using the outer display as a viewfinder. Cool, right?

Why this deal matters

There’s no doubt that foldable phones are cool, but that also means that you normally have to pay big money for them. This is your chance to get a foldable phone at a price that’s lower than a lot of flagship normal phones — just make sure to get your order in soon to avoid missing out.

Instagram Adds New Features, Including Reposts and Maps

Feed posts and public reels can now be reshared on the popular social-networking app.

Instagram has launched new features aimed at further connecting users with their online contacts, the company announced Wednesday. One involves sharing public feed posts and reels, another shares locations with others on an Instagram map, and a new Friends tab shows what content your contacts have liked or commented on. 

For reposts, you’ll be able to share public reels and feed posts from other users. The original poster will be credited and those reshares will appear in the sharer’s profile in a new tab. Posts and reels will now include a reshare icon when they’re available to share.

Instagram says creators will be able to reach more people since those posts will be recommended to others’ followers.

You have to enable the new map feature to start sharing your last active location. You can set who can see your location and can also choose not to share your location when you’re in specific places, or have your location available to specific users.

Location sharing can be disabled at any time, Instagram says. Reels, posts and stories can be viewed through the map.

Also, a new Friends tab at the top of Reels shows public content from contacts. This feature has been available previously, but is now being expanded globally. 

You can opt out of having your content displayed in the tab with options to hide likes, comments and reposts. You can also mute likes, comments and reposts from accounts you follow.

How to Play Battlefield 6 Beta: Open Access Resumes This Friday

The Battlefield 6 open beta for all will open back up this weekend, starting on Aug. 14.

EA’s DICE studio has blown the lid off the multiplayer for its upcoming military shooter Battlefield 6, and after an exciting first beta weekend, you can join the fray again in just a few days. Battlefield 6’s first public beta is available to everyone and will resume this weekend. It’s not too late to join in, and here’s how.

The Battlefield 6 open beta is the first chance for players to experience the game’s multiplayer before its full release on Oct. 10. While those with early access got a couple extra days to play and the first open beta weekend was a rousing success, if you didn’t get to play, don’t worry — the second weekend will kick off at 1 a.m. PT on Aug. 14 and run through Aug. 16.

Fans can visit Battlefield’s website to get info for the open beta, which just requires linking your EA account to your platform account. PC players will also have to configure their system to Secure Boot as well (see below). 

The beta will be playable on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S.

When does the Battlefield 6 beta end? What are the dates and times?

  • Aug. 7-8: Early access.
  • Aug. 9-10: First open beta weekend available to all.
  • Aug. 14-16: Second open beta weekend available to all, starting at 1 a.m. PT on Aug. 14 and closing Aug. 17 at 1 a.m. PT.

How to access the Battlefield 6 open beta

As this is an open beta, getting access is pretty easy. Simply download the Battlefield 6 beta client from your preferred platform, including the PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Steam, Epic Games Store or the EA app. 

Preloading the Battlefield 6 beta started on Aug. 4. Doing a preload means you’ll be able to jump on the beta as soon as it’s available instead of waiting for it to download on the day of access. 

Battlefield 6 open beta download links

Here are the BF6 Beta download links for each platform: 

Battlefield 6 beta maps

EA revealed the rotation of maps for the Battlefield 6 open beta weekends. 

For the first weekend of Aug. 9-10, the maps were: 

  • Liberation Peak: A large mountainous desert.
  • Siege of Cairo: An urban battlefield in the heart of Egypt.
  • Iberian Offensive: Tall buildings for fun times.

The second weekend of Aug. 14-17 will include the first weekend maps, plus:

  • Empire State: A close-quarters NYC map.

Battlefield 6 beta game modes

Just like with the maps, each weekend will also feature certain game modes. 

The modes for the first weekend were: 

  • Conquest 
  • Closed Weapon Conquest 
  • Domination
  • King of the Hill
  • Breakthrough

Then on the second weekend of the beta, it will be the previous modes along with:

  • Rush
  • Squad Deathmatch
  • And more (DICE did not provide specifics)

PC-specific notice for Battlefield 6 beta

A special note if you haven’t played a Battlefield game on PC recently: Studio DICE and EA recently started requiring players to set their computers to Secure Boot when playing Battlefield games to combat cheaters, and Battlefield 6 is no different. To even play the open beta, you’ll need to delve into your BIOS and switch your PC to Secure Boot. Check EA’s guide for help.
