androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-15 03:45:55

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR HUAWEI is reportedly planning to launch its next-generation tri-fold phone later this year. This successor to the Mate XT Ultimate Design could arrive before Samsung’s first tri-fold even hits the shelves. The new HUAWEI foldable is expected to improve on the Mate XT’s durability and performance. Today’s leaks may have given us clues that Samsung’s first tri-fold foldable is edging closer to release, but it seems like one of its top competitors may alread

While the displays remain hidden, Samsung appears to have moved the SIM tray to a different location.

5 reasons why Google’s Pixel software is better than Samsung’s One UI

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Sorry, Samsung, but I’ve always been a Pixel fan. Although I’ve appreciated a Galaxy device here and there and had a soft spot for Samsung’s hardware ever since I brought home the Galaxy S10 at the end of college, I’ve always been happiest with a Google device in my pocket. For a while, I wasn’t quite sure why I felt so strongly about preferring Google’s experience over Samsung’s, but after a few recent updates, I’ve come around to a simple fact: Google’s Pix

Stale or strategic? Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera and battery specs could disappoint fans

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-16 01:28:13

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to feature a 5,000mAh battery, the same as that of previous Galaxy S Ultra flagships since 2020. The primary camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain a 200MP sensor, potentially marking three generations without a significant upgrade to this component. These early leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra could feature only minor hardware upgrades again, which might disappoint fans. Samsung is gearing up to la

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.

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.

Experimental Propulsion Tech Could Reach Mysterious Planet Beyond Pluto in 10 Years

On November 14, 2003, astronomers spotted what was at the time the most distant known object orbiting the Sun. They called it Sedna after the Inuit goddess of the ocean. It’s a cold, reddish dwarf planet that drifts billions of miles away from the Sun during its 10,000-year orbit before coming in for a relatively close approach to our star. Its next perihelion is happening in July 2076, and astronomers want to take advantage of this rare encounter by flying a mission to the mysterious object. A
