Samsung: Page 2

Leaked specifications circulating this week indicate Samsung is splitting its Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup into two distinct display tiers. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra screen size is reported at 8 inches for the main panel and 6.5 inches for the cover screen, matching the current Fold 7's dimensions. The standard Fold 8, by contrast, drops to a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover screen. Android Authority, Notebookcheck, SamMobile, The Verge, and Trusted Reviews have all reported on the...

Samsung launched the Samsung Health Assistant beta Tuesday, opening its first fully integrated AI-powered health tool inside Samsung Health to eligible U.S. users. Rather than presenting biometric data as graphs to decode, the assistant lets users ask questions about their health, check their daily Energy Score, and receive personalized health guidance across five wellness pillars: sleep, activity, nutrition, mindfulness, and vitals. The shift Samsung is positioning here is from a dashboard you...

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra vs Motorola Razr Fold matchup is the most competitive the book-style foldable category has seen. For seven years, Samsung refined this segment largely without a serious large-format rival. The Motorola Razr Fold is Motorola's first attempt at that space, and it comes in swinging on hardware: a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery against the Z Fold line's 4,400mAh, and charging speeds of 80W wired and 50W wireless against Samsung's 25W and 15W (PCMag UK reported in...

Two days before Samsung's scheduled July 22 Unpacked event, prominent leaker Evan Blass published what appears to be official promotional material for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, including an exploded internal diagram with a visible "Powered by Snapdragon Wear Elite" badge. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 leak covers the watch's full spec sheet: an 800mAh battery, a 5,000-nit display, a 12% thinner titanium chassis, and Qualcomm's 3nm Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, according to Notebookcheck and...

A certification image has provided an early look at Samsung's unannounced Galaxy Tab S12 Plus. The photo shows a familiar Galaxy Tab design, while separate software findings suggest Samsung is preparing support for MediaTek's flagship Dimensity 9500 processor and several AI-powered image tools.

New Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 renders surfaced today showing the phone in Cream, Graphite, and Pink. The silhouette is nearly identical to last year's model, the camera ring unchanged, and early leaks suggest the Flip 8 may actually measure 0.1mm thicker than its predecessor, SamMobile reported today. The renders are the least important thing that's happened to this phone in the past month.

Samsung's Galaxy S26 series arrives loaded with third-party apps from Meta, Microsoft, and Spotify, and buyers get no setup screen to opt out of any of them. On a factory-fresh 512GB Galaxy S26 Ultra, system files and pre-installed apps consumed over 40GB of storage before the owner adds a single photo or file, according to Android Authority's hands-on testing earlier this year. That's close to 8% of the drive, gone before the box is fully unpacked.

Samsung has raised its Galaxy S26 production target for July from 1 million units to 1.5 million, a 50% mid-cycle increase, Android Authority reported today, citing ET News. The revision covers both domestic and global allocations, suggesting the demand signal is broader than any single market or promotion. Two things appear to be driving the Galaxy S26 sales surge: an aggressive promotional campaign that reportedly tripled sales during its active window, and growing consumer conviction that...

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF) has dropped to roughly $340 in the US, a street price that simply didn't exist for QD-OLED gaming monitors until this year. That matters most for PC gamers running DisplayPort, who get the full spec sheet. Console users and anyone locked to HDMI run into a bandwidth ceiling the panel can't clear over that connection. The deal is real; it's just not for everyone.

Samsung has pushed the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 July 2026 security update to devices across Africa, Asia, and Europe, closing 57 vulnerabilities in a patch that carries no new features and no UI changes. Five of those flaws are rated critical. According to Android Headlines, the rollout is staged, so availability varies by model, region, and carrier.

Samsung is reportedly drawing a hard line through the Galaxy S27 lineup, and the selfie camera is where that line lands. According to the latest leaks, the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will be the first Samsung flagships in three generations to receive a new front-facing sensor, while the base Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus will reportedly stay on the same hardware they've shipped since 2023. The Galaxy S27 selfie camera upgrade exists. Most Galaxy S27 buyers reportedly won't get it,...

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has already launched. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is still months away, known mostly through leaks, CAD renders, and a Telegram channel. That asymmetry matters before anything else: comparing the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra isn't a traditional head-to-head so much as a weighing of a known quantity against an ambitious pre-launch signal.

Samsung announced yesterday that Amazon Music will come preinstalled on millions of "select" Galaxy phones and tablets globally. New Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers, whether they have the app preinstalled or download it from the Galaxy Store, get a three-month free trial that auto-renews at $12.99 a month, or $11.99 for Prime members, unless canceled before the renewal date, per Digital Music News. What Samsung has not disclosed is which devices will ship with the app preloaded, what it...

Samsung has confirmed the cause of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra red screen problem that has been troubling owners since the phone launched earlier this year. The display discoloration is a software optimization failure, not a hardware defect, and affected owners can already get a fix at Samsung service centers while a broader over-the-air update is being prepared, Samsung confirmed Thursday, July 16, according to Chosun and subsequent reports.

The Galaxy Z Fold7's preorder window closed July 24, 2025, the day before the phone launched. For buyers without a device to trade in, the Amazon Galaxy Z Fold7 preorder deal stood apart from the competition not because it carried the highest nominal credit value.

Samsung's 2026 smartwatch lineup makes the buying decision unusually clear. The Galaxy Watch9 is the better fit for most buyers because it shares the Galaxy Watch Ultra2's processor, software, core sensors, and announced health features but starts at $320 less in the US. The Ultra2 primarily justifies its premium through longer battery life, stronger water protection, a brighter display, additional storage, and tools designed for trail sports and recreational diving.

Samsung could introduce two book-style foldables at different prices this year. A new report puts the wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 at $1,899 in the U.S., while the taller Fold 8 Ultra could start at $2,099.

A setting buried inside Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 quietly acknowledges something the Android ecosystem has been slow to fix: ultra-wide foldable displays still cause problems for some apps, and someone has to compensate. Samsung's answer, at least for now, is a per-app zoom control tucked inside Settings → Advanced features → Labs. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 per-app zoom controls let users assign individual apps one of five scaling levels. Tipster Dylan H alerted Android Authority, which...

Tipster Ice Universe demonstrated Galaxy Z Fold 8 app-level display customization this week on a Chinese Fold 8 unit, showing YouTube's recommendation feed shift from two rows of videos to three after adjusting that single app's display size. Nothing else on the device changed. Samsung appears to be shipping this per-app zoom feature in One UI 9 ahead of the August 7 retail launch, according to Android Headlines, with the caveat that review units are not yet on final firmware and all...

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra and Flip8 last week, marking the eighth generation of its foldable lineup. The most prominent display claim in Samsung's announcement is Samsung's pitch for the Fold8's new display proportions: the same unfolded panel reads as 4:3 in one orientation and 3:4 when turned 90 degrees. Samsung positions the 4:3 landscape view as suited to movies and games, and the 3:4 portrait view as suited to e-books and web browsing, according to the same...
