Gemini lands on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro as it expands to third-party earbuds

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google announced plans to bring Gemini to Samsung and Sony earbuds earlier this year. User reports suggest that the chatbot is now available on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro when connected to a device running One UI 8. Google is steadily making good on its promise to bring Gemini to more devices. After sharing plans to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on Wear OS watches earlier this year, the company finally announced Gemini for Wear OS yesterday, confirming

Galaxy Chromebook Is Cheaper Than AirPods, Samsung Is Clearing Out All Remaining Stock

Samsung is an electronics giant that retails everything from smartphones to laptops and TVs. Prime Day includes nearly the entire Samsung range at discounted prices, and one of those is the Galaxy Chromebook Go. Right now, this Chromebook is Amazon’s #1 Best Seller in “Traditional Laptop Computers” which goes to show just how much it’s in demand during this sale. The price has a lot to do with it: For Prime Day, the Samsung 14″ Galaxy Chromebook Go will only set you back $219, down from its nor

It seems the big three US carriers are skipping out on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE

TL;DR The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is official, but none of the three major US carriers are currently offering it directly. Customers on Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile will need to buy the Z Flip FE unlocked or finance it through Samsung or a retailer. Boost Mobile and Xfinity Mobile are offering the Z Flip FE for free as part of a promo for their postpaid plans, though more carriers could eventually follow. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are now official, and this year also brings a new family

Galaxy Z Flip 7 fixes the biggest gripe with using Gemini on flip foldables

TL;DR The Galaxy Z Flip 7 now runs Google Gemini’s Android app natively on the cover screen. This is a step up from Flip 6, which could only support text-based chat with some workarounds. Gemini Live also works directly from the cover screen. The progressive increase in the Galaxy Flip’s cover screen size has also expanded its utility over time. The cover screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 measures 4.1 inches, occupying a larger space than the previous model’s 3.4-inch layout. This means m

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE vs Motorola Razr (2025): I know which one I’d buy

If there’s one thing I like, it’s a flip phone. If there are two things I like, they’re flip phones and good values. For a long time, only one device checked both boxes, and it was Motorola’s base-level Razr. Now, though, there’s a new competitor in town: Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. At a glance, it looks like everything that a Samsung fan on a slightly tighter budget might want, yet I can’t see it pulling me away from the Razr that I already like so much. Here’s why in a battle of the Samsung

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks amazing, but I’m not buying it for one simple reason

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is official, and I have to admit: it looks phenomenal. I’ve dabbled with Samsung’s folding phones here and there as part of my job, but for one reason or another, I’ve never been compelled to buy one myself, either because of unwieldy designs, underwhelming cameras, or something else. Looking at the Z Fold 7, however, Samsung has checked just about every box for what I want in a folding phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is dramatically th

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority We love a high-performance tablet, and if you’re the same, there’s a significant deal available right now in the Prime Day sale. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is currently available at a discounted price of $834.99, down from its regular price of $999.99. We were certainly impressed with it in our review, and it’s even more appealing at this marked-down price. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus for $834.99 (17% off) This tablet boasts a stunning 12.4-inch Dynamic

Samsung plans to launch its trifold smartphone by the end of 2025

In January Samsung teased an all new Galaxy Z trifold device, but no mention of it was made during its Unpacked event yesterday. However, the company now says that does indeed plan to release a smartphone with three displays by the end of 2025, acting head of device experience TM Roh told The Korea Times. "We are working hard on a trifold smartphone with the goal of launching it at the end of this year," said Roh. "We are now focusing on perfecting the product and its usability, but we have not

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs. Z Flip 6: I used both models, and there's a clear winner

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung this week introduced its newest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Fold 7. These devices feature updated specifications, resulting in a thinner, lighter, and more powerful design. You might be wondering if these updates justify an upgrade, especially if you own a previous model like the Galaxy Z Flip 6, or if you're considering a flip phone for the first time. Also: Everything announced at Samsung Unpacked: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Watch 8 Series, more Wh

I changed 10 Samsung phone settings to significantly 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. Also: The best Samsung phones to buy From setting the highest available screen resolution to more

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 still doesn’t fix the worst thing about Samsung’s flip phones

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority I have a long history with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip line. Our revisit of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 was my first experience with a modern flip phone, and it instantly hooked me. I started slipping my SIM back into a Galaxy Z Flip anytime I was between review cycles, and the summer Unpacked event became my favorite of the year, Sydney Sweeney cameos and all. And yet, as much as I’ve loved the overall Galaxy Z Flip experience, I’ve always had one issue: The cover scree

I wanted to hate Samsung’s proprietary Galaxy Watch 8 bands, but I can’t

I didn’t expect to care this much about a watch band system, but here we are. With the launch of its newest smartwatches, Samsung has officially streamlined its wearable portfolio, bringing its questionable squircle shape to every model. This also means that all the Galaxy Watch 8 models now feature the brand’s Dynamic Lug system. This particular facet of the redesign might seem minor at first glance, and for anyone who’s ever struggled to swap a watch strap, it’s a meaningful improvement that’s

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra price plunges $350, marking its best deal ever

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Samsung just added to its range of premium smartphones yesterday, and it coincides with an intriguing Prime Day offer. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is available for just $949.99 on Amazon, down from its usual price of $1,299.99. That’s a substantial 27% discount off the retail price, and the lowest price ever. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for $949.99 (27% off) The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the best Android phones on the market with its superb specs and f

Samsung reveals why the Galaxy Z Fold 7 didn’t get a bigger battery

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has reportedly revealed why the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a bigger battery while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has the same capacity. The company said that most Flip users wanted a bigger battery, while the Fold 7 had other priorities. This comes as rivals to the Galaxy Z Fold series offer much bigger batteries and other impressive features. Samsung has just launched its new foldable phones, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 brings a welcome battery upgrade. Unfortunate

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Z Fold 6: I tried both phones, and the difference is dramatic

Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is arguably the biggest upgrade to its foldable phone lineup in years. In fact, it is the lightest book-style foldable available on the market right now. I went hands-on with the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, and this is the Samsung upgrade I've waited years for. The device is thin, light, and has a wider coverscreen, one that's closer to a slab phone's aspect ratio. Also: Everything announced at Samsung Unpacked: Galaxy

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 are now official, and both devices offer quite a few improvements this year, including design refinements, new software features, and beefier hardware.

Samsung’s New Foldables Give the Keys to Google AI and Say, ‘Here, You Drive.’

Samsung’s newest generation of Fold and Flip folding phones is here, and this year, it has quite a bit to parade around. The Galaxy Fold 7, for example, is hella thin and almost as slim as a Galaxy S25 Ultra when it’s folded up, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a bigger front-facing screen that spans 4.1 inches. However much the foldables have going on in the hardware department, there’s even more going on inside with AI. The only difference is that Samsung has almost nothing to do with those AI de

I'm a Samsung User and Almost Never See Galaxy AI on My Phone

At Samsung Galaxy Unpacked this year, company president TM Roh took the stage in Brooklyn, NY, to tout the transformative nature Galaxy AI. The presentation talked about how Samsung's AI tech customizes information and systems to become your personal companion. It gives you morning briefs, synthesizes your health information and can integrate across different form factors, like foldables, VR and wearables. I am an active user of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 phone, but I've never once seen any of

Samsung is giving you an extra reason to pick up a Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, or Flip 7 FE

TL;DR Galaxy Z Fold 7 owners can get six free months of Google AI Pro with 2TB of cloud storage. The same offer is available for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on: Finally, the foldable phone I've been waiting for

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Has Samsung finally done it? As a foldable phone enthusiast, I've been asking myself that question throughout the month leading up to Unpacked, where the company today pitched its newest shape-shifting handset, the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Within a second of the phone's unveiling, the answer was a resounding yes. But I didn't need the roar of the crowd to tell me that. Also: Everything announced at Samsung Unpacked: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Watch 8 Series, more Samsung's latest f

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE hands-on: The 'cheaper' foldable phone got me very confused

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a big upgrade over its predecessor. It features an edge-to-edge cover-screen display, a bigger battery, and more polished AI features. It retains the $1,099 price tag, but Samsung needed a flip phone under $1,000 to address the increasing competition from Motorola Razr. Enter the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.

Samsung’s 7th-gen foldables slim down, may finally fit in your pocket

There's no denying annual smartphone releases have settled into a routine—flat glass slabs with slightly faster processors and better cameras. Foldable phones buck the trend, but these products come with plenty of drawbacks. They're big and heavy, and even with all that bulk, the battery life and cameras can be lacking. Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 don't right all the wrongs, but they mark the most significant year-to-year upgrade since the company began making foldables. The new

I Held the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It's So Thin I Almost Forgot It's a Foldable

Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is how ordinary it feels in my hand. Well, at least when it's closed. Unfolded, it's a whole different story. I got to check out the Z Fold 7 during Samsung's Unpacked event in New York on Tuesday and Wednesday, along with the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE. (Also happening this week is Amazon's Prime Day, which is unlikely to include these devices but includes sales on Samsung TVs and laptops.) Watch this: Ultra Thin: First Look at the

Gen Z Deserves a Cute Flip Phone. Samsung's Cheaper Foldable Is Too Pricey to Be It

Every young person today should get to experience the specific fun, flirty pleasure of having a quirky flip phone that is both a fashion accessory and a cutting-edge piece of tech. It's the noughties tech experience in a nutshell – or a clamshell, if you will. But even though folding phones are now more sophisticated than ever thanks to advances in flexible screen technology, the devices on the market are usually extortionately expensive. Samsung's latest flagship phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, an

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Laps Google and Apple on Health Features. But How Will They Work?

If you're someone who likes to monitor their health through a smartwatch, today's Samsung Unpacked Galaxy event was great for you. I've always been somewhat skeptical of the idea that you absolutely need a smartwatch, Oura ring or another wearable device to monitor and maintain your health. But at today's Samsung Unpacked Galaxy event, it's clear that Samsung's technology powering these devices is improving, to the point where I'm convinced it was the best part of the event. Samsung unveiled th

The Galaxy Watch 8 series is here, and this is the model I’d buy

Samsung’s latest wearables have officially landed, sporting a unified look and smarter software. As expected, the launch doesn’t reinvent the proverbial wheel, but this year, it does reshape it. The Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and a subtly updated Galaxy Watch Ultra all adopt a cushiony squircle case design. They also introduce a refined One UI 8 Watch experience built on Wear OS 6, leaving shoppers to choose between the sleeker base model, the fan-favorite rotating bezel on the Classic, or
