Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra wishlist: All the features I’d like to see

Joe Maring / Android Authority Samsung likes to make a splash at the start of each new year. Its Galaxy S series flagships are some of the first off the presses, giving us a taste of new AI features, fresh Snapdragon (or Exynos) chipsets, and some of the newest, toughest materials that Corning’s Gorilla Glass team has created. And at the top of that bunch sits the Galaxy S Ultra. By now, Samsung’s top dog is a known quantity — the Ultra is going to be big, it’s going to be powerful, and it’s g

Galaxy Watch 8 series leak suggests that there will be no avoiding the squircle

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Renders of the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 have surfaced. It appears all three models will adopt the “squircle” design introduced last year. The renders show the Ultra 2025 in a blue color. Although there’s no official date yet for Samsung’s next Unpacked event, it’s likely the show will happen next month. In addition to the next Galaxy foldables, it’s expected we’ll also see the tech giant’s new smartwatches. A

I changed 7 Samsung phone settings to significantly improve the battery life

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily. If your new Galaxy phone isn't lasting an entire day on a single charge, there are ways to make the most of what you have without hindering the user experience. Also: The

Samsung says the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable

TL;DR Samsung has claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be “the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet.” It’s worth noting that the OPPO Find N5 and vivo X Fold 3 are the current thin and light champions, respectively. Samsung teased the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last week, hinting at an Ultra-level experience. Now, the company has made some bold claims about its upcoming foldable phone. Samsung claimed in a blog post that its latest Galaxy Z series devices could outdo other foldables: The

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors: Pricing, specs, release date, and everything else we know

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority When it comes to the very best foldable phones, Samsung’s name tends to be one of the first that comes to mind. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a fairly iterative update over its predecessor, it does make some notable improvements to AI features, durability, and more. As much as the Fold 6 gets right, there is still plenty of room for Samsung to improve. And thanks to increased competition in the foldable space with devices like the Google Pixel 9 Pro F

Samsung could shake up its audio lineup with two new earbuds (APK teardown)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is likely working on two new earbud models: the Galaxy Buds Core and the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. The Galaxy Buds Core may succeed the Galaxy Buds FE, potentially skipping the “Galaxy Buds 2 FE/Galaxy Buds FE 2” name. Based on the model numbers, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE could further extend the lineup even though the Buds 2 FE don’t exist. Samsung makes some great earbuds that complement Galaxy devices very well. The last new product launched in the Gala

I changed 10 Samsung phone settings to instantly improve the user experience

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin right now. 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.

Amazon Is Clearing Out Galaxy S25 Ultra Stock, Now Much Cheaper Than on the Official Store

Amazon is selling it for $1,049 which is $250 less than its original price of $1,299, and a record low price. It’s also much cheaper here than at the official Samsung store, but it could sell out fast. See at Amazon Best Phone in 2025 The Galaxy S25 Ultra is regarded by experts as the best phone available c

Wow! Samsung Galaxy S25 devices still come with a free gift card!

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority These offers are available from Amazon. Best Buy also offers free gift cards when you purchase a Samsung Galaxy S25 series smartphone. The only difference is that getting the base Galaxy S25 will get you a less valuable $50 gift card, which is half what you would get from Amazon. Best Buy still gives you a $100 gift card for the Galaxy S25 Plus and a $200 one for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, though. Which Galaxy S25 version should you get? Are you having trouble decidi

The Galaxy S8 reminded me of a very useful but almost abandoned Android feature

Today’s top Android phones all have in-display fingerprint sensors, and this tech has made major strides over the years. In fact, many modern high-end phones have ultrasonic in-display sensors with fast, accurate unlocking and the ability to scan wet fingers. However, I recently went back to the Samsung Galaxy S8 while working on a different article, and I realized that I really missed fingerprint scanner gestures on old smartphones. Not just a biometric unlocking option Many phones in the mi

One year later, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is still ripping a hole in people’s pockets — literally

TL;DR Multiple Galaxy S24 Ultra users are reporting ripped pockets due to the phone’s sharp corners. A phone case can help, but it adds bulk to the already large device. Samsung has softened the corners on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, fixing the design flaw on the new phone. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is considered one of the top Android flagships of its time. Even though the Galaxy S25 Ultra has been released, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has enough overkill across all of its specifications for it to remain in p

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro charging flaw leaves users with one dead earbud

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Multiple Galaxy Buds 3 Pro owners claim to be experiencing an issue where one of their earbuds isn’t charging. It appears this issue has been a common one for the last few months. Some users have found a temporary solution. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro last year, there were a few hiccups in the quality control department. The tech giant even had to temporarily suspend shipments at one point. While some issues have been fixed since then, it

OnePlus 13R vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: Which Cheaper Flagship Is Best?

The $600 OnePlus 13R and the $650 Samsung Galaxy S24 FE each have a similar mission: Provide a phone that includes all the essential features of more-expensive phones by scaling back on certain hardware and software features. Ideally, this approach should get you all the essential features of the more expensive OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S24 phones, and in-turn, scale back on features that are less noticeable or important. However, I do think OnePlus and Samsung take very different approache

Samsung’s 2025 Galaxy A mid-rangers are getting ready to make their debut

TL;DR Samsung is expected to introduce a 2025 refresh to its Galaxy A lineup of mid-range phones, including the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26. Renders have already revealed what these models are likely to look like, and some have started appearing in regulatory database. Now all three models have been spotted on a Samsung service page. What’s Samsung’s biggest selling smartphone? Last year, would that have been the Galaxy S24? Maybe the S24 Ultra? Sure, those can definitely make it i

The Galaxy A16 5G isn’t exciting, but there’s one big reason why I think it’s the best budget phone

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Samsung's Galaxy A16 5G doesn't revolutionize what it means to be a budget phone with new materials, an upgraded camera, or AI-powered features, but it delivers tons of value, backed by a flagship-grade update commitment that will see it supported for up to six years. It might not leap off the page, but this cheap Android phone is more than worth the money as a first phone or a long-term option for an older loved one. It’s tough to make a truly exciting budget Android phon

Ceramics could be Samsung’s secret to the Galaxy S25 Edge’s slim design

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is working on a new, extra thin addition to the Galaxy S25 family: the S25 Edge. A new report claims that Samsung could use ceramic materials for the Galaxy S25 Edge’s rear panel. Samsung already employs ceramic glass Corning Gorilla Armor 2 with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. There are only so many ways to build a smartphone, and especially when we’ve all sort of gotten on board with the same basic shape, a manufacturer’s choice of materials can go a
