Samsung's slimmer Galaxy Watch 8 series includes Gemini access

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-02 17:00:01

Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 at its Unpacked event today. This is a fairly major redesign with some nifty-looking features. It boasts a smaller profile, with the company claiming it's the slimmest smartwatch it has ever made. It's 8.6mm thick, which makes it around 11 percent slimmer than the Watch 7. It ships with a new test that gauges the levels of antioxidants in the body. This is done by leveraging optical sensors. We gave this feature a try in a hands-on demo and came away fai

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 hands-on: Bigger screens, bigger battery, better foldable?

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-02 17:00:08

Once again, it’s time for Samsung’s mid-year Galaxy foldable showcase. Over the last 10 years, Samsung gave us curved edges, curved screens, and then screens that fold (both ways). While we’re still waiting for that rumored tri-fold Galaxy, Samsung has primed two new Flip foldables, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and (surprise!) the Z Flip 7 FE. First, there’s the Galaxy Z Flip 7. This year, the biggest change is a larger 4.1-inch second display with cutouts for the dual cameras. This occupies the entire

For example, we knew the Galaxy Z Fold 7 would be Samsung's thinnest foldable ever, but now we know part of the reason for that is because the company dropped S Pen support. Samsung also announced updates to its family of Galaxy Watch devices. Here's everything the company had to share at the latest Galaxy

The MFA You Trust Is Lying to You – and Here's How Attackers Exploit It

Still getting login codes via text or authenticator apps? You’re not alone—and that’s a big problem. What used to feel like a smart security layer is now one of the easiest ways for attackers to gain access to your accounts. First we were told to use SMS for MFA. Then we were told: “Don’t use SMS for MFA, use an authenticator app instead.” And while that may seem like a step forward, it’s still fundamentally flawed. Authenticator apps do improve over SMS by avoiding message interception, but t

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Hands-On: The Cover Screen Is No Longer Made for Ants

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2026-02-02 17:00:37

Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung’s Z Flip 7 feels less like a major leap forward. Announced at Unpacked, the fllp-style smartphone has the largest cover screen that Samsung’s ever put on phone that folds in half like an old cellphone, and certain specs are improved, but the dimensions still feel like the Z Flip 6. I really wish Samsung trimmed down the Z Flip 7 the same way it did the Z Fold 7. See Galaxy Z Flip7 at Samsung.com See Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Samsung.com Starting at $1,100, the Z F

The Fold7 measures 8.9 millimeters when folded, a drastic reduction from the 12.1-mm Galaxy Z Fold6. Unfold it, and you're looking at a minuscule 4.2 mm of thickness, down from 5.6 mm last year. Honor's Magic V5 folding phone, announced last week, beats Samsung on thinness at 8.8 mm folded and 4.1 mm unfolded, but Samsung's specs are still impressive. The Fold7 is also lighter at 215 grams, a 24-gram drop from the Fold6. It weighs less than an iPhone 16 Pro Max. What's even crazier is that the
