One UI 9 Now Brief Weekly Weather Forecast: What Leaked Screenshots Show

A South Korean ETNews report suggests Samsung is preparing a fourth flagship for its Galaxy S27 family: a 6.47-inch model called the Galaxy S27 Pro, reportedly aimed at buyers who want near-Ultra hardware without the Ultra's size or its S Pen. If the leaks prove accurate, it would point to Samsung's first four-phone Galaxy S lineup. Samsung has confirmed nothing.

Samsung is expected to break from its one-foldable-per-year pattern this summer, with leaks pointing to two book-style devices under the Fold family: the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a companion model called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide. The earlier reviewed sources did not use "Ultra" for either device, though newer leak coverage has since applied the Ultra name to the taller Fold-style model.

Samsung's Bespoke AI WindFree Premium Pro air conditioner includes a mode that detects when you fall asleep and shifts its cooling profile in real time. The feature is called Wearable Good Sleep, and it requires a compatible Samsung wearable on your wrist or finger. Without one, the AC operates like any other air conditioner. That hardware dependency determines everything about how the feature works.

Samsung Galaxy Glasses Launch: Battery Cert Points to 2026 Release

Three separate data trails now point to the same unreleased Samsung product: a clip-style open-ear earbud that, if the Samsung Galaxy Buds Able leak holds up, would be the company's first entry into a form factor where Bose, Sony, and Anker already have established products. It would also be a mechanical answer to a fit problem that has followed the current Buds lineup since launch.

Samsung has begun pushing the stable One UI 8.5 update to its flagship tablets, starting in South Korea. The Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra are the first Samsung tablets to receive a confirmed stable build in this One UI 8.5 tablet rollout, according to SamMobile. Firmware X736NKOU5BZE3 is now live for the base Tab S11; the Ultra is getting X936NKOU5BZE3. Both builds close out the month-old beta program, per SamMobile.

Talks between Samsung Electronics management and its largest union collapsed Wednesday after marathon negotiations that drew South Korea's labor minister into the room for the first time. With no deal reached, an 18-day Samsung Electronics strike is now underway, the second in the company's history. Union chair Choi Seung-ho confirmed the walkout as he left the mediation session at the National Labor Relations Commission office in Sejong: "The union will proceed as planned and lawfully launch a...

Samsung's chip division went from KRW 0.4 trillion in operating profit to KRW 53.7 trillion in three quarters. That earnings swing, and what it says about Samsung's position in the AI memory market, is the reason the Samsung $1 trillion market cap conversation exists. Whether the earnings quality behind that valuation can hold is a separate question, and the answer is already taking shape.

Samsung has filed a patent for a laptop concept built around a touch-sensitive palmrest that could reduce reliance on modifier keys like Ctrl, Shift, and Alt. The Samsung laptop palmrest patent describes sensors embedded in the palmrest surface that detect whether the user's hand is resting there or lifted away, then route keypresses through a different function layer depending on that state. No product has been announced, and the concept may never reach hardware, as Digital Trends and Daily...

The debate over Galaxy S26 Ultra design identity is really a debate over what Samsung thinks the Ultra should be. A halo product for power users who want the most purposeful Android device on the market, or the premium size tier in a mainstream lineup? The commercial data and the enthusiast data currently give different answers, and both are worth taking seriously.

New leak details suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide will ship with just two rear cameras, skipping the telephoto lens that the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 is reported to keep. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide camera specs, surfaced this week by SamMobile citing GalaxyClub, describe a primary wide and an ultrawide, both at 50MP. No telephoto. Both phones are rumored for a late July launch, per Android Authority two weeks ago. Samsung has not officially confirmed either model.

Samsung's headline number from the S26 launch was a 29% sales increase over the S25 series in the first three weeks. The number that tells the more interesting story is 71%. According to Counterpoint Research data reported by Android Police last month, seven out of every ten U.S. buyers who purchased a Galaxy S26 in that window chose the Ultra, a share that grew by 10 percentage points compared to the S25 Ultra's cut of its own lineup. Galaxy S26 Ultra sales success was visible even before...

Firmware tied to model number SM-L345U, which earlier reporting linked to the Galaxy Watch 9, appeared on a Samsung-hosted US test server in late March. Tipster Mohammed Khatri first flagged the listing, and Android Authority, Android Police, and SamMobile each reported it the same day. Samsung has not publicly announced the Galaxy Watch 9, making this Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 test server leak the strongest public sign yet that the device is in active testing.

Motorola's first book-style foldable goes on sale May 21 at $1,900 with 512GB of base storage. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been on shelves since last July at $1,999.99 for 256GB at the entry tier, per CNET and the Samsung Newsroom. That $100 price gap and doubled base storage is the opening move in a clear attempt to undercut Samsung's most documented weaknesses in this category: battery capacity, charging speed, and out-of-box value.

Samsung is shutting down its Samsung Notes OneNote sync feature after July 2026, the company confirmed through an in-app notice this week. Starting in August, notes written on Galaxy phones and tablets will no longer flow automatically into Microsoft OneNote. Galaxy users who relied on that connection to view their mobile notes on a Windows PC have about two months to decide what to do next.
