androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-09 20:48:38

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S20 Ultra has received a security update, a few months after Samsung officially pulled support for the device. This update only applies to the Verizon model for now, though. Samsung’s 2020 flagship launched with the promise of four major OS upgrades and five years of security updates. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra was released back in 2020 as the company’s first Ultra phone. The phone officially became unsupported earlier this year, but Samsung

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 may have just come out, but it appears the company is already teasing its next foldable phone that takes things to a whole other level. In an earnings call last week, which Seeking Alpha shared, Samsung noted it's pushing forward with its triple-screen foldable, which has been rumored for months. It also acknowledged the imminent arrival of its Project Moohan mixed reality headset, which it's developing with Google. Samsung reportedly said it's "preparing

Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-10 11:28:53

TL;DR iFixit gives the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 a pitiful repair score in its latest teardown. Fragile inner components, glued batteries, and a hard-to-replace screen make DIY fixes tough. It could be that the same design choices may help the phone survive extreme durability tests. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 impressed last week in JerryRigEverything’s notorious bend test, which is just as well.

Google could fix one of the most annoying things about switching from a Galaxy to a Pixel phone

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a native option for stock Android to flip the three-button navigation bar, a feature long requested by users switching from Samsung devices. This addresses a major pain point, as Samsung’s default navigation layout is the reverse of stock Android’s, forcing users to retrain their muscle memory. Evidence of the unreleased feature was found in an Android Canary build, but it will likely not launch until a future Android 16 quarterly

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has solved the wrong problem

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-12 06:00:03

Ever since foldable phones first appeared, I’ve had a complicated relationship with them. I wanted to love the concept from the very beginning, and I truly tried, but I could never get past how unwieldy they were. If you’ll remember, early foldables were comically thick, essentially feeling like two regular phones stacked on top of each other. Over the years, manufacturers have been on a mission to slim them down. Now, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, we’ve reached a significant

Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 FE globally a month before it launched in Korea, leaving us wondering if the same is possible this year, too.

The Galaxy S26 Edge battery rumors just got even more promising

TL;DR A new leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Edge will have a 4,400mAh battery. That’s noticeably up from 3,900mAh in the S25 Edge and slightly more than a previous 4,200mAh claim. Both leaks point to Samsung addressing one of the biggest complaints about the S25 Edge. The Galaxy S25 Edge was one of Samsung’s most criticized flagships of recent years, and much of that frustration rightly centered on battery life.
