The Latest on Samsung

Let’s be honest, Samsung’s been playing it safe with software updates lately, but One UI 8.5 feels different. What started as whispers about another incremental update now looks like a rethink of how Galaxy devices should feel in the hand and in daily life. The latest leaks are not just feature lists, they read like a blueprint for smarter phones, tighter privacy, and, finally, some excitement.

When you first see the leaked One UI 8.5 build running on a Galaxy S25 Ultra, it is clear Samsung is cooking up something special. Android Authority showcased this early firmware, revealing rounded corners, pill-shaped icons, and bottom bars that signal a major shift in Samsung's design philosophy. While SamMobile demonstrated features like the fully customizable quick settings panel and Direct Voicemail in their hands-on video, the firmware remains buggy and incomplete, hinting at Samsung's...

While One UI 8 has just started rolling out on the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is already working on what comes next. More than a dozen new One UI 8.5 features have leaked, and some of them look genuinely useful. The update isn't expected until the Galaxy S26 launch early next year, but these early glimpses offer a clear preview of what Samsung is cooking up for your phone.

You know that feeling when a software update makes you do a double-take? That's exactly what these One UI 8.5 leaks are doing. While One UI 8 is just starting to roll out to Galaxy phones worldwide, Samsung is already cooking up something that might make iPhone users pause and wonder if the grass really is greener on the Android side.

You've just invested in Samsung's latest powerhouse tablet, and that gorgeous 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is staring back at you. How do you keep it pristine? The Galaxy Tab S11 features a stunning 2560 x 1600 resolution with 1600 nits peak brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate, and all that brilliance means little if your screen gets scratched. With Samsung already offering official screen protectors and the tablet supporting advanced features like the redesigned S Pen with increased tilt...

Samsung's latest Color E-Paper display is the kind of gadget that gets passed around group chats. Samsung launched the 32-inch Color E-Paper, EM32DX, globally in June 2025, and the pitch is simple. Static image on screen — rated 0.00W under IEC reporting (measured <0.005 W when static). Samsung says the built-in 4,600mAh battery that can last up to 200 days on a single charge if content is updated once per day, and it is no wonder people are asking when this shows up in phones.

You know what's fascinating? Samsung's been quietly perfecting DeX since 2017. You might have written it off as a nice-to-have that never quite delivered. Then it cracked the code. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first clamshell (Flip) foldable in Samsung's lineup to support Samsung DeX, signalling an important shift.

You know what’s funny about Samsung’s latest update? While everyone’s buzzing about fancy AI tricks and flashy interface changes, One UI 8 is quietly doing something that feels almost radical in today’s tech world. It is bringing back simplicity. After years of tangled sharing menus and “where did that send to?” moments, Samsung might be onto something.

Privacy is messy on a packed train or in a coffee line, and Samsung appears to be tackling it in a surprisingly thoughtful way. A recent APK teardown of One UI 8.5 uncovered code referencing something called "Private Display" or "Privacy Display," and the feature looks like a real swing for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The leaked build shows Samsung is developing tech that limits screen visibility from side angles to protect your privacy in crowded public places. One UI 8.5 is expected to be the...

Samsung's audio roadmap just got a lot more interesting. After years of covering the company's ecosystem strategy, I can tell you this round of moves feels bigger than routine tweaks. The big news? Samsung is reportedly working on new premium earbuds, with code references suggesting the Galaxy Buds 4 could debut at Samsung's first Unpacked of 2026 alongside the Galaxy S26. Meanwhile, One UI 8.5 is shaping up as a mid-cycle update that could rewire Samsung's 2026 flagship ecosystem.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge launched with significant fanfare earlier this year, but the ultra-thin flagship hasn't exactly set the world on fire. With sluggish sales of just 650,000 units so far and production cuts already underway, Samsung faces a critical decision for its 2026 lineup. The latest rumors suggest the company might be considering a surprising move, bringing back the Galaxy S26 Plus alongside the Edge variant, potentially reshuffling its entire flagship strategy to balance...

Samsung just dropped some serious tablet upgrades, and if you're eyeing the new Galaxy Tab S11 or S11 Ultra, you're probably wondering which one deserves your hard-earned cash. Samsung announced both models on September 4, 2025, and they're already hitting shelves. The Tab S11 costs $799 while the Tab S11 Ultra is priced at $1,199. But price is only half the story. The rest is how you plan to use it.

When you send a photo to a friend via WhatsApp on your Samsung phone, you probably don't think twice about the complex image processing happening behind the scenes. You hit send, the thumbnail pops up, end of story. Right? In August, Meta's security team discovered something far uglier hiding in that moment, that innocent image sharing was being weaponized by attackers to take complete control of Samsung devices. The vulnerability they uncovered, now patched by Samsung, shows how sophisticated...

Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 just picked up a substantial One UI 8 update that reshapes mobile productivity. The headline is not the bullet list of features, it is that Samsung completely rebuilt DeX on top of Google's Desktop Mode, a sharp turn in how it thinks about mobile desktop computing.

Samsung's Galaxy XR headset is finally stepping out of the shadows, and this is way more than just another VR device announcement. After years under the Project Moohan codename, Samsung's answer to Apple's Vision Pro is taking shape with some serious credentials. The big hook is software and timing. The headset will use Google-made Android XR software and is tapped to arrive in October 2025, putting it squarely in the premium XR ring.

Samsung's SmartThings ecosystem is about to get a major upgrade that could change how we think about connected living. The company is rolling out its new "Home to Car" feature, which puts vehicle controls directly into the SmartThings app. This is not just another tech gimmick, it is Samsung tying the connected car into the connected home, so your morning routine can literally start your car while you are still getting dressed. With SmartThings reaching hundreds of millions of users and...

Samsung just dropped the Galaxy Tab S11 series at its latest Unpacked event, and while the new tablets bring some welcome refinements, they might not be the game-changing upgrade everyone hoped for. The Tab S11 and S11 Ultra add an improved S Pen and a slimmer, more compact design. Look closer and you may find there is not enough here to justify spending at least $800 just a year after buying a Tab S10. Here is why the Galaxy Tab S9 might actually be the smarter buy right now.

Looking at Amazon's latest smartphone deals, the Galaxy S25 Ultra just got its biggest price cut yet, a legitimate $300 discount that drops Samsung's flagship from $1,299 down to $1,000. Here is the twist. This deal is not available on every color option, and the limits say more about smartphone retail than you might expect.

Samsung's One UI 8 beta program is making waves across the tech world, and for good reason. This isn't just another incremental update – we're looking at a significant shift in how Samsung approaches software rollouts that puts them closer to Google's accelerated Android release schedule than ever before.

The Galaxy S25 series launched in early 2025 carrying more than just upgraded hardware—it brought with it One UI 7, what might be Samsung's most ambitious software statement to date. When Samsung formally introduced the Galaxy S25 series at its first Unpacked of the year on January 22, 2025, followed by general retail availability beginning February 7, we weren't just getting new phones. We were witnessing Samsung's most significant software evolution—a complete reimagining that would...
