Motorola is finally beating Samsung at its own game

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-01 17:30:34

Ryan Haines / Android Authority When you buy a smartphone in 2025, it’s often rare that you pay the full MSRP of the phone you’re looking at. Between trade-in deals, price discounts, store credits, and more, virtually every smartphone brand is always running some kind of promotion on its Android handsets. For years, Samsung has been one of the best at this game. Even for phones that are still in the pre-order phase or have just recently launched, it’s not uncommon to find Samsung throwing in f

Apple this week launched a new AppleCare One plan – a way to buy AppleCare+ for multiple devices for one monthly fee. The exact coverage it offers depends on the mix of devices you have, and the cost depends on how many, but you’ll almost certainly save money over buying separate plans for each.

Samsung might stop debuting Android updates with Galaxy S phones for good

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s early release schedule has shaken up platform update plans across OEMs. For Samsung, a new leak clarifies that the company will launch major One UI version bumps alongside the Android platform bump, coinciding them with the launch of the Galaxy Z series flagships. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S series flagships will no longer debut with the new Android version. Instead, it would be the first to feature One UI x.5 versions, which ironically will inclu
