I tested the Samsung S95F OLED for a week, and I'm ready to give up my living room TV

Samsung S95F OLED TV ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung S95F OLED TV delivers an excellent viewing and gaming experience thanks to its superb picture and sound quality, low latency, and the option to disable AI processing. However, this TV is a very expensive investment, especially at larger sizes, and its thin design makes it feel quite fragile. A key color accuracy issue is that the OLED panel runs very blue, which is a significant drawback for this otherwise high-performing TV. View now at A

NASA's Guardian Tsunami Detection Tech Catches Wave in Real Time

While GNSS processing methods on Earth correct for such distortions, GUARDIAN uses them as clues. The software scours a trove of data transmitted to more than 350 continuously operating GNSS ground stations around the world. It can potentially identify evidence of a tsunami up to about 745 miles (1,200 kilometers) from a given station.

Galaxy Buds 3 FE Review: Samsung’s ‘Fan Edition” Wireless Earbuds Are Just Enough

If you’re a Samsung fan and you see “FE” branding, you probably think a few things. The first thing that comes to mind is probably, “I’m saving some money.” For those not fluent in Samsung lingo, FE, which is actually short for “Fan Edition,” is the equivalent of SE in Apple-speak, meaning it’s a more budget-friendly alternative to the flagship-level gadgets. But it’s not just savings you want when you’re seeking something FE-branded—you want quality, too. Maybe you’re not expecting every bell a

I waited ages for an affordable Galaxy flip phone, but the Z Flip 7 FE isn’t it

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Exynos horsepower, which makes for a solid enough match day-to-day. Unfortunately, the $899 price tag seriously drags things down, while Samsung's cover screen software still lags behind rivals. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip way back in 2020, and it’s lingered around the $1,000 mark ever since. We got our first hint of more affordable flip phones when Motorola started to launch cheaper Razr entries, follo

Galaxy S26 phones might not get those big charging upgrades, after all

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s smallest Galaxy S26 phones could stick with 25W charging for another year. Early Galaxy S26 Ultra rumors suggested the phone may charge faster than 45W. Now regulatory filings suggest that Samsung will keep the Ultra at 45W again. For a whole lot of smartphone shoppers, power is the name of the game. And we’re not talking performance, either, like how high you can get those benchmark figures, but electrical power: how much charge your phone hol

Samsung is working on a continuous zoom camera, but Galaxy phones don’t have first dibs

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is reportedly working on a continuous zoom camera system for smartphones. This tech will apparently be supplied to Chinese brands first, with Samsung Electronics following later. This would enable a consistent level of photo and video quality across a given zoom range. We’ve seen very few Android phones with continuous zoom cameras. In fact, Sony is the only major company offering this tech on its devices. However, Samsung is also working on th

But more than a decade later, recent smartphone sales and shipment figures signal that the

Samsung calls iPhone 17 keynote a ‘Zzz-note,’ forgets Galaxy S25 series exists

TL;DR Samsung has criticized Apple’s iPhone 17 series launch as a “Zzz-note.” The company made the comments as part of a competition announcement on Twitter. This comes despite Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 phones being conservative upgrades. Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this week, and there are a few reasons to be excited about these devices. All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there’s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP

Samsung’s Galaxy Ultra phones could be stuck with the same telephoto camera until 2027

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR According to Ice Universe, Samsung plans to use the same 50MP telephoto sensor on the Galaxy S6 Ultra and S27 Ultra as the one it introduced on the S24 Ultra. The tipster previously claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may actually downgrade the 3x shooter to a smaller sensor. If true, the move would echo Samsung’s decision to stick with its 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main sensor and Sony’s IMX754 3x sensor across multiple generations. Samsung’s Ultra flagships are
