Before the Z Fold7 Launch, Amazon Clears Out Galaxy S25 Ultra Stock at a Ridiculous Price

In just a few weeks, Samsung is expected to announce its latest generation of foldable smartphones as it does every year. If past trends continue, we’ll likely see the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 take center stage. And even as anticipation builds for those devices, the top-selling traditional flagship remains the Galaxy S25 Ultra which is also the most high-end Android phone available today. And now, Amazon is offering a new discount on the Galaxy S25 Ultra 256GB model available for $1,

A Sneak Peek at Samsung's Plan to Help Us Defy Aging With the Galaxy Watch

Samsung's Galaxy Watches are taking preventive care and healthy aging to the next level with personalized coaching and a new blood analysis feature you can use right from your wrist, no needle necessary. The update is part of a broader push by Samsung to help people take action on their health in the moment, to fend off chronic illness in the long run.

This Galaxy Z Fold 7 dummy puts its ultra-thin design into perspective

TL;DR A new YouTube video shows a Galaxy Z Fold 7 dummy model based on leaks and rumors, giving our best look yet at the expected design. The video shows the foldable’s slim profile, with side-by-side comparisons showing how much thinner it is than the Fold 6.

We’re just weeks away from Samsung’s next Unpacked event, but a new mockup is offering our clearest look yet at what to expect from the Galaxy Z Fo

Astronomers capture ultra-detailed image of nearby Sculptor galaxy

Stunning: Astronomers have captured the most detailed image ever of the Sculptor galaxy, an incredibly complex system located roughly 11 million light-years from Earth. The composite was created using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, and is comprised of over 100 exposures captured during a 50-hour marathon observation session. The Sculptor galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is similar in size, mass, and shape to our own spiral Milky Way. ESO researcher Enrico Congiu said th

What to expect at the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked

The next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event could be announced any day now. The summertime event usually happens in July or August. No date has been officially set, but at least one rumor suggests that it will all go down on July 9 at 10AM ET, and New York City is being floated as the likely location. Whenever it happens, we expect that the next Unpacked will center on the latest developments to Samsung's lines of foldables and wearables. A lot of it may be business as usual, but the company has hin

I tested a large-screen tablet that gave me zero iPad Pro envy (and it's on sale)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is available for up to $800 off with a trade-in credit. This 14.6-inch tablet is a productivity powerhouse, packed with a strong processor and Galaxy AI tools perfect for work and play. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra isn't super portable: it's large and the keyboard case is expensive and sold separately, and the S Pen stores awkwardly on the back.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 renders reveal a major camera change hiding in plain sight

TL;DR Leaked Galaxy Z Fold 7 renders show that the phone will have a punch-hole camera on its folding screen. This would be a major change as Samsung has used an under-display camera since 2021’s Galaxy Z Fold 3. This means the Galaxy Z Fold 7 should take higher-quality selfies and videos with this camera. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to launch next month, and apparent renders were posted online yesterday. These images show an impressively thin foldable phone, but another change we

But as much as I appreciate what foldables offer, and as someone who’s been reviewing phones for 10 years, I’ve yet to actually purchase one for myself. Why? One of the main things t

Galaxy Watch 4’s dreaded red screen of death may be getting worse

TL;DR Samsung’s aging Galaxy Watch 4 is vulnerable to a display failure where the screen turns solid red. The only solution for affected hardware seems to be a screen replacement.

The Best Android Phones of 2025: Tested by Our Experts

The Galaxy S25's biggest flex that I noticed while testing is it shares many of the same attributes as its pricier counterparts, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – but it does so for several hundred dollars less.

And while the Galaxy S25 might look
