Kuo: Apple just increased its folding iPhone plans for 2026 - will triple Samsung's Fold 7

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max next to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The reliable supply chain reporter Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple just boosted its folding iPhone plans.

Samsung's Trifold Phone and AI Glasses Reportedly Set for Sept. 29 Launch

Is three better than two? Apparently, we're about to find out again. Samsung will reportedly launch its Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea on Sept. 29 in its third Unpacked event of 2025.

One UI 8 on Galaxy S23 feels incomplete without this highlight feature

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung started the One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S23 yesterday. Despite receiving the latest update, the Galaxy S23 is not getting a notable Galaxy AI feature, which is Now Brief. Samsung first introduced Now Brief with One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25, though it subsequently rolled out to other devices with One UI 8 (stable and beta). After first announcing One UI 8 with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 back in July, Samsung is expected to bring it to other fla

First Z Fold 6, now Galaxy Z Fold 7 owners complain of paint peeling

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 owners have reported chipped paint on their phones. Many owners claimed that they haven’t dropped their devices. It’s possible that chargers are affecting the anodized body of the Z Fold 7, much like the Z Fold 6. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been on the market for just over a month now, and we praised the foldable phone in our review. However, some owners are discovering a rather weird hardware issue that we previously sa

Samsung will give you a free 65-inch TV right now - here's how to qualify for the deal

Samsung's Neo QLED QN90F 100-inch TV is impressive to see in person. Kerry Wan/ZDNET Cinema-sized TVs have gained a small but dedicated following since brands like Samsung and Hisense unveiled their super-sized models earlier this year. And if you've been on the fence about buying one for your own home theater, Samsung is offering a free 65-inch Crystal UHD U8000F TV when you purchase either a 98-inch QN90F or 100-inch QN80F directly from their website.

The Galaxy Watch 8 is the first smartwatch I forgot I was wearing

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a sleek, lightweight smartwatch that combines smart features with the robust health tracking of Samsung Health. It's pricier than the Galaxy Watch 7, but it's also a smartwatch that I've genuinely enjoyed wearing and using all day and all night, and that's priceless.

The time to say goodbye to your Tizen OS smartwatch is almost here

Jimmy Westenberg / Android Authority Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 TL;DR Samsung will stop offering content to Tizen OS smartwatches on the Galaxy Store on September 30, 2025. Downloaded apps will continue to be available. If you’ve deleted an app, you won’t be able to re-download it after this date.

The termination of Tizen service is on the horizon, with o

Samsung multi-fold leak teases some of the phone’s wireless features

Samsung TL;DR New animations for Samsung’s upcoming multi-fold phone have leaked. The animations show off the phone’s design and a few of its features. The device appears to be capable of wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, and NFC payments. It’s not a secret that Samsung is working on a device that the industry popularly but misleadingly calls a “tri-fold.” Although it’s known that the device is on the way, Samsung has remained quiet on the details. But thanks to leaks, we’ve lear

IFA 2025: What to expect from Samsung, Acer, Lenovo and more

IFA, Europe's answer to the CES, kicks off on September 5 in Berlin, Germany. The show likely won't be the biggest source of news in September — Apple's iPhone launch event is officially happening on September 9 — but it is usually home to its fair share of announcements. IFA 2024 featured new "AI PCs" from ASUS and Dell, including the first Inspiron laptop with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus chip. There were plenty of more unusual ideas, too: Honor used the show to introduce a laptop with a detac

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Pixel 10 Pro faces tough competition at the $1,000 price tier.

Samsung’s latest dig at the iPhone lacks wit, but it has a cat at least

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has launched a new ad film, teasing Apple for its lack of a folding iPhone. The video shows the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and suggests it is a superior phone for multitasking. Despite its cheekiness, a cute feline, the ad feels dull and not as hilarious as some of Samsung’s older jabs. If you ever comb through the internet for phone brands poking fun at each other, you’re highly likely to find Samsung attempting to ridicule Apple. Some of its videos are

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. 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 7, and Z Flip 7 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily.

Bella Ramsey Tells ‘The Last of Us’ Haters to Go Play Their Video Games

The online discourse surrounding The Last of Us season two was entrenched in unwarranted outrage, sparked by outrage over the show’s centering a gay love story and killing off the franchise’s leading man. The trolling, which resulted in the show getting review bombed, of course, is weird considering that both these major plot aspects are also present in Neil Druckmann’s series of Naughty Dog games. Recently Bella Ramsey, the show’s Emmy Award-nominated lead (alongside Pedro Pascal), discussed w
