Here’s why you should probably steer clear of Samsung’s online-exclusive colors

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-18 00:17:11

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung reportedly requires authorized service centers to color-match replacement parts, including internal components. As a result, users with Samsung-exclusive colorways have faced unexpected repair delays due to limited part availability. This raises concerns about the practicality of choosing Samsung-exclusive finishes. Samsung typically releases exclusive colors for its flagship devices, which are available only through its official web store. T

Galaxy S26 could be getting not one, but two battery upgrades

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is reportedly exploring more advanced “battery protection circuits” for the Galaxy S26 series, along with the previously reported SUS CAN casing. These upgrades could leave room for Samsung to expand the batteries in capacity. However, these upgrades may still not be able to compensate for the lack of a more advanced silicon-carbon battery.

My biggest Z Fold 6 regrets after a year - and what Samsung must fix for the Fold 7

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-08-18 11:00:18

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one. While the cover screen has grown over time, the overall candy bar-style form factor has remained mostly untouched. While brands like Honor, Vivo, and Google have released slimmer foldables, Samsung has stuck to steady, incremental upgrades, resulting in a sturdy hinge that holds at almost any angle and polished software for productivity.
