Samsung Galaxy Ring drops to its all-time low price from Prime Day

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Ring is an awesome wearable, but it’s expensive, and deals are hard to come by. It’s rarely on sale! The best discount we’ve seen on it takes it down to $299.99, which is $100 in savings, and this only happened during Prime Day. Today, the same record-low price is available for everyone!

Why I'll keep the Samsung Z Fold 7 over the Pixel 10 Pro Fold - especially if these rumors are true

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to launch on August 20, but it might not go on sale till October 9. It will be difficult for Google to beat Samsung in the foldable segment this year due to design differences. Unless there's an actually useful AI feature or significantly better battery life, I'll stick with my Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung turned around its foldable phone lineup at its Galaxy Unpacked event last month. After years of iterative u

“Red meat allergy” from tick bites is spreading both in US and globally

Hours after savoring that perfectly grilled steak on a beautiful summer evening, your body turns traitor, declaring war on the very meal you just enjoyed. You begin to feel excruciating itchiness, pain, or even swelling that can escalate to the point of requiring emergency care. The culprit isn’t food poisoning—it’s the fallout from a tick bite you may have gotten months earlier and didn’t even notice. This delayed allergic reaction is called alpha-gal syndrome. While it’s commonly called the

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has solved the wrong problem

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

It’s official: More Galaxy devices will soon get One UI 8

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is expanding its One UI 8 beta program to include devices such as the Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 in select regions starting next week. The beta will be available by the following month for older flagship and mid-range models, such as the Galaxy S23 series and various A-series phones. Stable releases of One UI 8 will start rolling out wider from September onward, while One UI 8 Watch is on track for wider rollout later in the year

Galaxy S26 Ultra may handle night shots better than its predecessor

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S26 Ultra may have the same sensor for its main camera as last year. However, a rumor suggests that the sensor will have a wider f/1.4 aperture. The wider aperture could improve low-light imaging. We’re still far out from the release of the Galaxy S26 series; Samsung hasn’t even launched the Galaxy S25 FE yet. But a new rumor has us thinking about the company’s next flagship, specifically its Ultra model. This rumor suggests that Samsung could

Another Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak suggests an earlier launch

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could launch on September 19 in Korea. 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 S25 FE rakes up only minor upgrades, with the most notable being its much faster wired charging. The Galaxy S25 FE is the next major launch expected out of camp Samsung and will conclude the S series launches of 2025. The phone i

Will Samsung revive the bundled charger? We might have an answer.

TL;DR Two European retailers have listed the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G and 4G models. The Galaxy A17 5G will apparently start at €230, while the 256GB 4G model could cost €309. The listings also seemingly contradict a previous leak, which pointed to a bundled charger. The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G is expected to launch in the coming months, and we’ve already seen a host of leaks for this budget Android phone. The latest retail leak has now revealed European pricing, along with some bad news on the ac

Want faster charging on Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra? Prepare to be disappointed.

Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has passed by the website of China’s 3C regulatory body. The listing reveals that Samsung’s upcoming tablet will have 45W charging, in line with last year’s model. A Samsung executive previously confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S11 series was in the works. We’re expecting a launch window in line with last year’s tablets, and it looks like the Galaxy Tab S11 range is a step closer to launching. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (mode

This Galaxy Z Fold 7 model offers a much longer warranty

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Enterprise Edition in Europe. The phone comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty instead of the standard two-year warranty. The device is otherwise identical to the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, and it offers a more durable folding screen than previous models. What if you want peace of mind regarding any issues, though? Well, the company offers Samsung Care Plus,

Samsung’s next budget earbuds might beat the Pro model in one key area

We’ve already seen what the Galaxy Buds 3 FE could look like , and now we have a good idea of how long they might last. A new certification listing has revealed battery specs for both the earbuds and their case, and they’re surprisingly generous for a Fan Edition model. According to the listing on the SGS Fimko certification platform spotted by SammyGuru , the total battery capacity for the earbuds is listed at 200mAh — equating to 100mAh per bud — while the charging case is rated at 900mAh. Th

Galaxy S25 FE is looking a bit blue in its latest leak

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The leak may have revealed the colors for the Galaxy S25 FE. The colors are reportedly Dark Blue, Light Blue, Black, and White. The leak also provides a render of what these colors may look like. The next Samsung phone we should see drop this year is the Galaxy S25 FE. Leaks for the Fan Edition flagship have started to ramp up in recent weeks, from RAM and storage to real-life images. A new leak may have shed some light on what colors will be available w

Galaxy S26 could get a hardware upgrade for much easier payments

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is apparently thinking about adding an additional NFC antenna to the top of the Galaxy S26 series. This should make it more convenient to use tap-to-pay, as you can do so via the rear or top of the phone. The Galaxy S26 rumors are trickling in at a steady pace, even though the expected launch window is roughly six months away. The latest leak has revealed that Samsung could significantly improve NFC payments like Samsung Pay or Google Wallet.

Galaxy S26 Ultra charging time leak leaves us with more questions than answers

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra can reach 75 to 80% capacity after 30 minutes of 60W charging. That isn’t really an upgrade over the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s charging time. It’s still possible that the S26 Ultra could beat the S25 Ultra when it comes to total charging time. Leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get 60W wired charging speeds. This would be a significant leap from 45W seen on previous Galaxy S Ultra handsets. What does

Galaxy Z Flip 7 survives JerryRigEverything’s bend test, but it’s not all good

TL;DR YouTube channel JerryRigEverything has put the Galaxy Z Flip 7 through its durability test. Samsung’s phone survived a bend test with the screen intact, and it also fared better than expected in sand and dust. Unfortunately, the Flip 7’s inner screen is easily scratched, which is in line with other foldable phones. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was recently put through YouTube channel JerryRigEverything’s durability test and fared better than expected. Now, it’s the Galaxy Z Flip 7‘s turn

Samsung could finally catch up to other Android OEMs with this navigation choice

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung could soon let you choose swipe navigation as the default while setting up a new phone. Samsung is testing a choice screen that will allow choosing between three-button navigation and swipe navigation gestures during setup. The feature is only being tested and could be introduced with One UI 8.5 on the Galaxy S26. Despite being a leading innovator in the mobile space, Samsung can sometimes resist change, especially when the mandate originates from

A truck carrying thousands of Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 units just got stolen

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A truck carrying 12,000 Galaxy phones, including 5,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 models, was stolen in London. The shipment was apparently worth almost $10 million, but it was insured. This also comes a few days after Samsung confirmed that its new phones broke pre-order records for Galaxy foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 seem more popular than previous Galaxy foldables. Now, it looks like these Samsung phones may have been popular enough

Descent of Inanna into the Underworld

Sumerian myth The Descent of Inanna into the Underworld (or, in its Akkadian version, Descent of Ishtar into the Underworld) or Angalta ("From the Great Sky") is a Sumerian myth that narrates the descent of the goddess Inanna (Ishtar in Akkadian) into the Underworld to overthrow its ruler, her sister Ereshkigal, the "Queen of the Dead." But following the removal of her adornments, she perishes and her corpse is suspended on a nail. The god Enki intervenes indirectly, restoring Inanna to life. H

These are 5 of my favorite gallery apps, but one stands out from the rest

Andy Walker / Android Authority Every modern smartphone has a capable camera system, and there’s a good chance that you regularly browse the images you capture with it. Most devices come with a brand-adjacent gallery app. I find that Samsung Gallery is one of the best in this regard. But what if you don’t own a Samsung and want a brand-agnostic option? After many years of trying various apps, I’ve narrowed my favorite gallery app selection to just five options. Some products have overlapping f

I bought Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 - here's why I have buyer's remorse

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is on sale for $650 in four color options. Its display is vibrant and large, the battery lasts through a couple of days, and LTE is provided at no extra cost. It comes in a single 47mm size, gesture support is limited, and external sensor connections are not supported. $649.99 at Amazon Last year's Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra was my favorite Google WearOS smartwatch, so when I saw the 2025 Watch Ultra with its new

I put the Galaxy Ring to the test - and it's better than my Apple Watch in one critical area

Samsung Galaxy Ring ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a smart ring that excels at wellness tracking, especially for delivering actionable insights to help you improve areas of your health that could use some attention. People interested in digital health tracking will appreciate the Galaxy Ring's minimalism, comfort, long battery life, and minimal notifications. At $399, the Galaxy Ring is more expensive than some of its competitors, but it does not require a $5.99-per-month sub

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE is coming into focus, and here’s what to expect

TL;DR A new leak has revealed a more complete spec sheet for the Galaxy S25 FE. The phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, Exynos 2400 chip, and 45W charging. It looks like the selfie camera will be bumped to 12MP, and the device will weigh around 190g. We’ve already got a pretty solid idea of what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, but the same leaker behind last week’s RAM and storage leak is back with a more substantial spec dump. Let’s look at what you’ll be gettin

Hot deal: Amazon slashes $450 off the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Robert Triggs / Android Authority We’re big advocates of stepping back a smartphone generation to score yourself the best value for money, especially as the tech has plateaued in recent years. Even still, catching a $450 price drop on one of the best Android phones of last year (we put it in second place) is still quite a coup, and that’s exactly what Amazon is offering up today in this Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra deal. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for $849.99 ($450 off) The huge discount drops the p

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry. And yet, I feel a sting of hesitation — a faster-

Own a Samsung phone? 10 settings I always change first for the best user experience

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've been fairly vocal recently that Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box. You need to personalize your smartphone to make it more appealing. I change almost a dozen settings on every Samsung Galaxy phone to best suit my needs, and I believe these will elevate your user experience, too.

Apple accidentally helps promote Samsung’s new foldable (Update: Apple vindicated)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Apple support account appeared to post a Galaxy Z Flip 7 promo video on Weibo. The post was quickly deleted, but not before it was spotted and shared by others. It has since become apparent that the error was caused by Weibo’s servers, rather than an Apple employee’s mistake. Update: July 31, 2025 (5:10 PM ET): It looks like Apple may not have hit the wrong upload button after all. A Chinese tech blogger says the incident was due to a Weibo client
