The Galaxy Watch 8 Pissed Me Off, but I'd Still Recommend It

CNET’s expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. The Running Coach on the Galaxy Watch 8 needs to be kicked to the curb. I'm not expecting an Olympic endorsement deal anytime soon, but after 20 years of running (four half marathons, multiple 10K and 5Ks), I'd hope to graduate beyond "beginner."

Leaked Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra render shows off bezels so thin, Samsung had to use a waterdrop notch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-20 17:53:30

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority TL;DR Leaked renders reveal the designs of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and Tab S11 Ultra. According to the render, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has thin bezels, a waterdrop notch, dual rear cameras, and S Pen support. In the leaked render, the Galaxy S25 FE also features a thin bezel, a hole-punch display, and triple rear cameras. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are the flavor of the month, but Samsung is already working towards the launch of its next li

There could be “dark main sequence” stars at the galactic center

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-20 17:30:58

For a star, its initial mass is everything. It determines how quickly it burns through its hydrogen and how it will evolve once it starts fusing heavier elements. It's so well understood that scientists have devised a "main sequence" that acts a bit like a periodic table for stars, correlating their mass and age with their properties. The main sequence, however, is based on an assumption that's almost always true: All of the energy involved comes from the gravity-driven fusion of lighter elemen

Tapping on Camera still brings up the camera with the gallery below. Google is making a change to the Messages app in the latest beta.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Specs vs. Motorola Razr Ultra: Comparing the High-End Flip Phones

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-21 05:37:00

Samsung's Galaxy Flip 7 was unveiled at the company's July Galaxy Unpacked event, debuting a redesigned cover screen, a slightly thinner body and -- unlike the now-$2,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 -- the same $1,100 price of Samsung's prior Flip phones.

Could the Galaxy Z Fold 7 really be the world’s thinnest foldable after all?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-21 21:12:51

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A side-by-side comparison shows that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may actually be thinner than the Magic V5. HONOR claims the Magic V5 measures 8.8mm, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm. The unique way the company measured the Magic V5 may explain the discrepancy. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it impressed with a thickness of just 8.9mm. This measurement was enough to have it tie with the OPPO Find N5 for the world’s thinnest book-style folda

Webb spots 'Infinity Galaxy' that sheds light on black hole formation

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-21 21:39:00

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how some supermassive black holes form. Although "Infinity Galaxy" sounds like a place Thanos would hang out, it merely describes its appearance. Two compact, red nuclei, each surrounded by a ring, give the cluster the shape of an infinity symbol. What's inside is more interesting. (After all, this is a

I replaced my Galaxy S25 Plus with the S25 Edge (and Samsung may do the same)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Galaxy S25 Edge was my unexpected favorite phone in Samsung's S-series lineup this year. I previously wrote about how it had one major fault, but is the compact phone for content consumption in 2025. It just might not make sense to exist alongside the Plus model with the adoption of silicon-carbon batteries -- and Samsung might agree.

iPhone Fold could be cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or 8

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-23 09:19:36

TL;DR Apple could achieve a lower iPhone Fold manufacturing cost, allowing for a price under $2,000. The iPhone Fold could cost about 4% less to manufacture than the China-exclusive Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition from last year. This is likely possible with Apple opting for smaller screens and emphasizing less on sleekness than Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an exquisite foldable phone, but its $2,000 price likely makes it unreachable for many. While Apple is expected to enter the seg

Samsung says S Pen could return to foldables after Galaxy Z Fold 7 snub

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung confirms it’s working on new S Pen tech to possibly bring back support for its foldable phones. The statement comes from the executive director of Samsung’s mobile division. The company says it may bring back S Pen support for foldable phones once its new technology is fully ready, and if there’s enough consumer demand for the feature.

The Galaxy S25 FE might outpace the base S25 in one key area

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A regulatory filing has apparently listed the Galaxy S25 FE with 45W wired charging speeds. This would be a major upgrade over previous FE phones and the standard Galaxy S25. Previous leaks also point to the same chipset and rear camera system as last year’s phone. Samsung’s next big Android phone release is tipped to be the Galaxy S25 FE, and we’re not expecting many upgrades this year. However, a regulatory filing has apparently revealed one long-overd

Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while the phone is still expensive -- it'll set you back $1,100 to start -- it's matching the price of its predecessor. That's admirable considering this newest iteration of the Flip phone series features several upgrades, including bigger screens and more powerful hardware.

At Samsung Unpacked in July, the phonemaker introduced its most advanced foldable yet: the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It supersedes last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6 with upgrades big and small (or rather, big and thin), but how exactly do they compare? Here's the Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy Z Fold 6 specs comparison.

Dozens of ‘Ghost Galaxies’ Are Orbiting the Milky Way, Astronomers Suspect

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-02-24 11:35:25

The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) theory suggests that most galaxies are low-mass dwarf galaxies, many of which orbit larger galaxies like the Milky Way. More broadly, the LCDM represents our best understanding of how the universe works. But there’s a problem. According to the theory, the Milky Way should have significantly more satellite galaxies than scientists have observed with telescopes and predicted with computer simulations.

Why I recommend this Samsung Galaxy Watch over competing Androids

It's a stylish-looking smartwatch with a slew of safety features and a long-lasting battery.

Galaxy Z Flip 7’s Exynos 2500 benchmarked: Flagship power or foldable flop?

In a first for Samsung’s foldables, the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 sports a Samsung Exynos processor instead of its usual Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. I’m reasonably convinced the Exynos 2500 looks more than good enough on paper, even if it won’t quite match the Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the Galaxy S25 series and Z Fold 7.
