SammyGuru TL;DR Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S25 FE will launch earlier this year. An August or early September release is likely, meaning the phone could go on sale well before October. The company also shared its plans to launch its first tri-fold phone, XR headset, new entry-level Galaxy A phones, and the Galaxy Tab S11 series later in 2025. Samsung has just released its Q2 2025 financial results, and along with the numbers came a preview of what’s next for the tech giant’s mobil

Worried about the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s screen durability? Here’s what Samsung says.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-20 05:30:16

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Display has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s folding screen durability is on par with that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This comes after the company revealed that the Z Fold 7’s screen can better withstand extreme temperatures. That means the folding screen on both phones is significantly more durable than their predecessors. Samsung Display recently announced that the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s folding screen is rated for an impressive 500,000 folds. T

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 ZDNET's key takeaways The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an excellent upgrade over its predecessor, thanks to its slim and light design, a strong hinge and a wider coverscreen. It's very expensive at $2,000 for the starting configuration.

We are working with Weibo to understand how this happened.” What seems to have happened here is that a Weibo client-side bug caused the text of the Apple Support post to be mismatched with the Samsung video.

Inside the LG G5’s shocking last-place finish at the 2025 TV Shootout

theverge.com Nilay Patel 2025-12-22 04:08:13

The 2025 TV Shootout went down over the weekend, and the results are shocking: yes, the Sony Bravia 8 II won the overall competition and my personal award for silliest name, but the LG G5 came in last place by a huge margin. I was one of the judges, and I think I have a sense of what’s going on. If you’re not familiar, the TV Shootout is an annual event hosted by Value Electronics, a boutique and high-end home theater store started by Robert and Wendy Zohn in 1998.

But I swear it’s true: with a bigger cover screen, you get more than just a new way to check notifications. You can actually get shit done. Things that are annoying or even impossible to do on

Samsung is making a big mistake with the Galaxy S26 series

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-22 10:30:33

Yesterday, my Android Authority colleagues broke the news that Samsung might be shaking up the Galaxy series with the S26 next year. According to our sleuthing, the three product names for the upcoming phones will be Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. And wow, do these tell a story or what? The Ultra is here to stay, clearly. As the crown jewel of the series, it’s predicted to have a massively upgraded main camera, faster charging, Qualcomm’s highest-end Snapdragon Elite pro

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is finally thin enough, here’s what Samsung should fix next

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-22 12:00:41

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a major step forward for Samsung; it’s the lightest and arguably thinnest foldable phone on the planet. That’s a dramatic upgrade over last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, which looked dated compared to rival devices. Here’s the thing, though. We’re now at the point where the Galaxy Z Fold and other foldable phones are arguably thin enough; they are now a hair thicker than conventional smartphones. If we no longer need thinner phones, here’s what I’d like Samsung to do next with

Galaxy S26 is dead, long live S26 Pro: Another leak points to Samsung’s flagship shakeup

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy

Evidence found in an internal One UI 8 build suggests a lineup of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. That means Samsung may rename the base model to “Pro” and replace the “Plus” model with Edge.
