Samsung's calling their latest flip phone a "pocket-sized selfie studio," but here's the twist: the cameras themselves haven't changed a single megapixel. What has transformed is how you'll actually use them — and that might be the smarter play.

Remember when the original Galaxy Fold felt like carrying a small brick? Fast-forward to 2025, and Samsung's latest engineering marvel—the Galaxy Z Fold 7—is just 4.2mm thick when unfolded, thinner than two stacked nickels. At 8.9mm folded, it's achieved a 48% reduction compared to that chunky 2019 original. Here's the kicker: Samsung didn't just make it thinner—they made it lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra at just 215 grams.

Picture this: You're eyeing a new phone that won't drain your savings account, but you're tired of compromising on features that actually matter. Samsung just dropped the Galaxy A56 in the US for $499, and here's the kicker—it comes with a six-year software update promise that puts most flagship phones to shame. Sound familiar? That's because most mid-range phones get forgotten after two years, but Samsung is playing a completely different game.

A freshly leaked render has just revealed what could be Samsung's most dramatic tablet design evolution yet. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra appears to sport bezels so impossibly thin that Samsung had to ditch the traditional wide notch for a sleeker waterdrop design—and the implications go far beyond aesthetics.

Samsung's about to shake up the foldable world with something we haven't seen before: an Exynos chip powering their flagship flip phone. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 marks Samsung's first flagship foldable to ship without a Snapdragon processor, instead featuring the brand-new Exynos 2500. But here's the million-dollar question: does this 3nm powerhouse deliver flagship performance, or are we looking at a beautiful compromise that'll leave you wanting more?

Well, well, well—looks like Samsung couldn't keep its own secret. While the tech world has been buzzing about Huawei's triple-folding Mate XT, Samsung just accidentally gave us our first real look at their answer: what might be called the Galaxy G Fold. And honestly? The leak came from inside the house—literally baked into their own One UI 8 software.

One UI has an exciting privacy feature that lets you lock apps, photos, videos, and files on your Galaxy device behind Samsung's defense-grade Knox security platform. Only you can unlock it using a pattern, PIN, passcode, and/or biometrics like fingerprints and iris scanning. It's like having a safe built right into your smartphone, and it couldn't be easier to set up.

Samsung has a cool security feature built into One UI with an interesting side effect that lets you have two separate copies of any Android app on your Galaxy phone. And that's not the only integrated Samsung tool for cloning apps.

An iPad can serve as a second screen for a Mac via Sidecar, available since iPadOS 13, but Apple isn't the only manufacturer to support such a feature. Samsung has had a similar tool since One UI 3.1 that lets you turn certain Samsung Galaxy tablets into second displays for your PC — and there's a hidden feature that expands it to more tablets and even Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

Just like the recently rediscovered Star Wars ruins in the Tunisian desert, there are tons of hidden treasures in your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 just waiting to be unearthed.

You don't have to see every app installed on your phone if you don't want to. Samsung One UI makes it easy to hide apps from your Samsung Galaxy's home screen, app tray, and search tool, whether you want to declutter, simplify things, or keep other people from seeing some of the apps you use.

Back when Android used navigation buttons, there was a large black bar at the bottom of every screen to house the back, home, and recent apps buttons. But after switching to full-screen navigation gestures in 2019, there was no longer a need for it — however, a vestigial black bar still shows up when you're using your keyboard.

I get along with most of my friends just like anyone else. We chat on the phone, go out drinking, and play video games—and we choose who to hang out with and when. That same sort of freedom is hard to find on Facebook.

If playing Metal Gear Solid didn't make you want to crawl on the floor of your living room throwing imaginary flash grenades, then I don't think we could be friends. Solid Snake was the man. Period.

If you actually had to look up what "DS" stands for in Nintendo DS, that probably means you weren't a huge fan of the portable game system. To be honest, I never was. It's fairly bulky and has two tiny displays.

Video games are one of the few items that have successfully advanced and adapted over decades, while still holding its "old school" value.

There was a time in my life when I could think of nothing but getting home and playing Super Smash Brothers on my Nintendo 64. It was just something about tossing Mario across the map with Donkey Kong that seriously made me feel like an OG, not to mention that it was the first fighting game to compile a bunch of popular Nintendo characters together.

Atari—it's the home gaming console officially responsible for starting the trend of sleepless nights and malnutrition amongst kids and adults alike. If you think Call of Duty is addicting, try playing Space Invaders in the '80s on the old Atari 2600 (voted the second greatest console of all time by IGN).

The world of Android gaming is much bigger than what's available in the Google Play Store. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S3 or other Android device—don't just stop there—a hidden treasure of games lies in those boxes of old, dusty game cartridges in your closet.

Sometimes, for whatever reason it may be, we just want to take a photo without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, thanks to the extremely large screen and loud shutter sound, taking a picture discreetly with our Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a hard thing to do.

Nothing can beat a portable system designed specifically for gaming. There are tons of emulators available on Google Play, but most have awkward controls, large game files, resolution issues, and hardware compatibility problems. The list could go on...

UPDATE: The mod discussed below is no longer available for download. We are looking for an alternative and will update this page when we find one.

Samsung included an "SOS" feature for its phones since the Galaxy S6 that could literally be a lifesaver should you ever find yourself in an emergency situation. It's one of those things that we hope to never have to use but will be very thankful for if a need ever arises.

With over a billion videos uploaded to YouTube, passing your time browsing through the immense library can be an emotional roller coaster ride. One second you're bawling your eyes out over this devastatingly sad clip of Oden the dog's last minutes with his owner, and the next you're laughing hysterically at Spider-Man falling on his face.

I'm sure you've been here before: sitting on an airplane, bored out of your mind, and you forgot to install a few games or download a movie before your flight departed. No worries, though. If you have the latest Chrome Beta installed on your Android, there's a fun little mini-game baked right into the "You are offline" screen.

Samsung's 2016 line of smartphones has a new update, at least for the devices on AT&T. The update brings the Galaxy S7 to version G930AUCS4BQL1 and the Galaxy S7 Edge to version G935AUCS4BQL1. Here's what's on the table.

When the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge came to market in 2016, they were universally praised as being the pinnacle of Android smartphone design, even topping Consumer Reports' smartphone ratings.

The international, Exynos-powered Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have had a working root method ever since a few days after release. But the North American variants—those using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor—have locked bootloaders, and have proven to be almost unrootable up until now.

Samsung's 2016 flagship devices are some of the most beautiful, powerful smartphones ever made. And amazingly enough, thanks to legendary root developer Chainfire, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are about to get even more powerful.

Samsung's Galaxy S7 is an incredible piece of technology, but the Skype app that's preinstalled on some models may have some nasty issues, such as video and audio that freezes. Luckily, the fix for these problems is a simple one, although somewhat buried in the phone's Settings app.

Need to get my galaxy 7 edge unlocked from pattern lockscreen

We all know it's going to be the Galaxy S4 that's launched on the 14th, so why is Samsung continuing to tease us?

Touchwiz has taken over my start up and I want my original launcher back.

Hey there guys
