Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra is getting the Black Friday treatment early. If you're hunting a flagship Android, this might be the moment to pull the trigger. Retailers are jumping the gun, and Samsung is leaning in with aggressive promos, so the Ultra is seeing some of its steepest cuts since launch.

Getting your smart home to play nice with all your devices has felt like navigating a maze of incompatible ecosystems. If you have been running Samsung's SmartThings as your connected home hub while carrying an iPhone, you know the daily friction of hopping between apps just to dim a lamp or nudge the thermostat.

Samsung's journey with One UI 8 has been a rollercoaster, and we can finally see the end of the ride. After a temporary pause (beginning 2025-10-21), Samsung resumed the One UI 8 rollout (resumption began in South Korea on 2025-10-24) for the Galaxy S23 and S24 series, now with beefed-up security, including the October 2025 security patch (addresses ~34 fixes, including Samsung-specific and Android fixes) that makes the wait feel worth it.

If you're keeping an eye on the smartphone landscape, there's a deal brewing that deserves your attention. Boost Mobile is positioning itself to offer the upcoming Galaxy S26 for free, and yes, you read that right. Here's the kicker: Samsung hasn't even officially announced the Galaxy S26 yet. That uncertainty is exactly why this window is interesting for people who like to move early.

Samsung's financial powerhouse moment has arrived, and it's being driven by an unexpected duo reshaping the foldable landscape. When a tech giant posts numbers that make analysts do double-takes, there is usually a sharp strategic shift behind the scenes, and Samsung's third-quarter results fit that bill.

Samsung's revolutionary tri-fold smartphone is finally here. The Galaxy Z TriFold feels like a leap for foldables, the kind that turns a compact 6.5-inch phone into a 10-inch, tablet-like canvas, according to Forbes. It also took an unconventional path to market.

Samsung just pulled back the curtain on its most ambitious foldable project yet, and the timing could not be more strategic. The company's tri-fold smartphone prototype made its public debut at the K-Tech Showcase in South Korea, the first time we have seen Samsung officially acknowledge what industry watchers have been anticipating for months (Lowyat). The device sat behind protective glass, sure, but this was the clearest look yet at what could be called either the Galaxy G Fold or Galaxy Z...

Samsung's latest earnings call just dropped some major hints about what's coming with the Galaxy S26 series, and the waiting game just got a lot more interesting. During their Q3 2025 financial discussion, Samsung officially confirmed that the upcoming lineup will pack significant upgrades across three key areas. Meanwhile, the rumor mill is split on whether we'll actually see a Galaxy S26 Edge or if Samsung is playing a different game entirely. Here's where things stand.

Samsung's One UI 8 rollout stumbled, forcing a pause, but the Android 16-based update is now back on Galaxy S23 and S24 phones. After hitting the brakes earlier this month (Android Authority), Samsung has restarted in South Korea and says more regions are next. This is not just another patch cycle, it is a reset of trust and process, especially after the messy One UI 7 launch that knocked confidence in the company's update pipeline.

The tech world is buzzing with news that could reshape the foldable landscape, and it is centered on Samsung's potential game-changing approach for the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Instead of following the usual script, Samsung is exploring a custom 2nm Snapdragon processor tailored to clamshell needs. Not just raw power. The everyday stuff that trips flip phones up.

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 (reported from leaked sales reports) 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...

Samsung's Galaxy TriFold is making waves before it even hits the shelves, and for good reason. Leaked animations from Samsung's own software give us our most detailed look yet at what could be the most ambitious foldable phone ever created. This is not just another incremental upgrade; it looks like a device that could fundamentally change how we think about mobile computing. Big claim? The demos back it up.

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'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...

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.

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...
