Galaxy S26 is dead, long live S26 Pro: Another leak points to Samsung’s flagship shakeup

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-27 12:42:58

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy

Elon Musk Scoffs as Rival Waymo Plows Through Car While Driving Wrong Way Down Street

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-27 10:05:57

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is trying to ward off critics of his approach to autonomous driving. Many years ago, the mercurial billionaire decided to rely exclusively on cameras — rather than LIDAR and radar sensors, like Tesla's competitors — for the carmaker's driver assistance software. Critics have long pointed out the limitations of such an approach, arguing that visual sensors can easily be fooled by anything from severe weather to a wall painted to look like the road beyond it.

Everyone kind of just wanted Prey 2. “Sometimes when you make a sequel, it’s just part two of the cool thing, not a cool thing in and of itself,” Trachtenberg said recently a
