Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals camera and design upgrades, but not the ones you asked for

Ready-made stem cell therapies for pets could be coming

Earlier this week, San Diego startup Gallant announced $18 million in funding to bring the first FDA-approved ready-to-use stem cell therapy to veterinary medicine.

Here’s why you should probably steer clear of Samsung’s online-exclusive colors

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. This raises concerns about the practicality of choosing Samsung-exclusive finishes. Samsung typically releases exclusive colors for its flagship devices, which are available only through its official web store. T

Galaxy S26 could be getting not one, but two battery upgrades

My biggest Z Fold 6 regrets after a year - and what Samsung must fix for the Fold 7

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one. 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.
