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

I’ve reviewed phones for 10 years. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may be the first foldable I actually buy

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority It’s been just under six years since the first Galaxy Fold launched, and in the time since then, foldable phones have become among the most interesting in the Android world. I’ve personally tested and reviewed many of them, including models from Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and others. 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

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak points to thinner bezels

TL;DR A new leak may give us our first look at the Galaxy S25 FE. The device is said to feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Samsung’s next foldables look crazy thin in this new leak

Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’ Is Returning to Theaters, in a Truly Mega Way

Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s long-awaited dream project, came and went from theaters last year. Usually, after that, a film would show up on demand or for streaming but that wasn’t the case here. What was happening with Megalopolis? Now we know. Starting July 20, Coppola’s film will be taken on the road for a series of events called “An Evening With Francis Ford Coppola and Megalopolis Screening.” It kicks off in Red Bank, NJ, before going to Port Chester, NY; Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; Da

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. While failures have been happening for years, it’s hard to ignore a recent surge in reports. It’s sure looking like we could only be just a few more weeks away from getting our formal introduction to Samsung’s next-gen smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 8 series.

Researchers at the University of Georgia developed the vaccine candidate, code-named NXT-2. In their latest study with mice, NXT-2 appeared to protect the animals from a common culprit of yeast infection, Candida albicans. The team is now planning to forge ahead with human trials of the vaccine. Co

Mint Mobile Offers 50% Off Its Unlimited Plan and a Galaxy S25 Ultra for Less Than Samsung’s Selling It For

There really shouldn’t be a huge need to provide incentive for switching from one of the supersized Big Mobile carriers to Mint Mobile, where you get access to the nation’s largest 5G network for amazingly low prices.

Astronomers Capture the Most Colorful Image of a Galaxy Ever

Caldwell 65, better known as the Sculptor galaxy, is bursting with stellar activity and dust-rich features. Located 11 million light-years away—right next door in cosmological terms—it offers a rare glimpse of young stars being born into the celestial circle of life. Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers captured an incredibly detailed image of the nearby spiral galaxy, displayed in thousands of colors that illuminate all the action taking place in our galactic neighborhood.

More workers are using AI, but businesses still struggle to make it useful

In context: The use of GenAI in the workplace is evolving at a breakneck pace. Two new reports – one from Gallup and another from Salesforce AI Research – paint a picture of both growing enthusiasm and persistent challenges as organizations and their employees adapt to this technological shift. Together, these studies reveal a central theme: while AI is being embraced more widely than ever, the gap between its promise and practical performance remains a significant hurdle for businesses and work

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. You'll find features like the AI Select tool, Audio Eraser and deeper Gemini integration across all of Samsung's S25 devices, as well as a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB RAM – making the smaller phone of the bunch still seem pretty mighty. And while the Galaxy S25 might look

Astronomers Just Solved the Mystery of the Universe's Missing Matter

Decades ago, astronomers estimated that “ordinary” matter (basically everything that isn’t dark matter or dark energy) makes up 5% of the universe. There was just one problem—they had no idea where most of it was. Astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have tracked down the universe’s “missing” matter. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) indicate that over three-quarters of ordinary matter, officially called baryonic ma

Sequoia-backed Crosby launches a new kind of AI-powered law firm

The tech industry talks a lot about how AI is going to transform work. Legal startup Crosby, which just came out of stealth with a $5.8 million seed round led by Sequoia, is perhaps the most extreme example of what’s coming that we’ve seen to date. Crosby isn’t just making AI software for lawyers – although it is doing that. Crosby is an actual law firm using AI to provide legal services at a speed never before possible.
