The Galaxy S25 series might be more popular than all other Snapdragon 8 Elite phones combined

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S25 reportedly sold more units than any other brand’s flagship. The Galaxy S25 series is also claimed to have outsold all other Snapdragon 8 Elite phones combined. The leaker, who shared these statistics, says this makes the regular variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite appear to be a “minority.” Samsung’s efforts with the Galaxy S25’s subtle redesign and extensive focus on AI features appear to have paid off. Last week, we learned about the brand

Since launching the service, Disney has used the name recognition of Star Wars and Marvel to launch scores of TV shows, from The Mandalorian to Loki. In the list below, we’ve collected the ones we think are the best to watch, from those franchises

Apple Watch Ultra 3 could remedy this current ‘Ultra’ discrepancy

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is coming very soon, and rumors indicate it could remedy a discrepancy that arose last year, when the Apple Watch Series 10 debuted several exclusive features that bested the latest Ultra model. Apple Watch Series 10 surpassed the latest Ultra model in several ways last year Last year after the Apple Watch Series 10 launched, I wrote an article that proved controversial. It was titled, “When Ultra doesn’t mean ‘best’ anymore.” The inspiration was Apple Watch Series 10 gain

PUBG: Battlegrounds will leave PS4 and Xbox One behind later this year

PUBG: Battlegrounds is finally ready to ditch last-gen consoles. On Wednesday, the developer said that the game will transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 13. Although the battle royale has been playable on current-gen consoles all along, it was running as a PS4 or Xbox One game. That helped it cast a wide net (and probably make more money), but it also came with technical limitations. The company said the move to current-gen will "provide our players with a more stable gameplay env

Alien: Earth succeeds where Ridley Scott's Alien sequels failed

Alien: Earth delivers everything you'd want from a series with "Alien" in the title: The iconic Xenomorphs hunting down hapless humans; gratuitous body horror; and androids who you can never fully trust. But writer/director Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) and his team also manage to push the franchise to new heights, delving into the philosophical questions that Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Alien Covenant couldn't fully explore. It's not just merely an Alien TV show — it's a meticulously crafted ex

12 of the Best Peacock Shows to Stream Today

Alien: Earth is a brilliant and terrifying expansion of the franchise

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. While the monsters in each of the nine Alien movies have been a little bit different, the nefarious corporate forces have remained the same. Ridley Scott’s original Alien didn’t need to mention Weyland-Yutani by name for it to be clear that a singular mega-company had cornered the market on space exploration. But subsequent Alien film

New Apple Watch Ultra 3 Rumors Point to an Overdue Upgrade

With September inching closer and Apple's next event likely just weeks away, rumors are heating up about the company's fall lineup, which this year could include the Apple Watch Ultra 3 alongside a flagship Apple Watch Series 11 and iPhone 17. In a turnaround from the busy rumor mill, the clearest signal yet for an Ultra 3 release comes from the secretive company itself. Imagery found in the public beta of iOS 26 (first uncovered by MacRumors) reveals new screen specs that don't match any of th

Cate Blanchett Doesn’t Know If Her ‘Squid Game’ Cameo Will Lead to More (But She’d Like it to)

That shocking finale coda of Hwang Dong-hyuk’s Squid Game series left many curious about what it meant for the American spin-off Netflix has in the works. When the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) pauses next to an alley in downtown Los Angeles, you witness, along with him, the Squid Game recruitment ritual being administered by a new face: Cate Blanchett, wearing a suit and offering up the Ddakji slaps. It’s hard to believe the Academy Award-winning actress was only recruited for a one-off cameo righ

The Apple Watch Series 11 May Drop in Less Than a Month

Apple season is upon us! No, I'm not talking cider and hayrides (although that's coming too). We're just weeks away from seeing the tech giant's next batch of products, including the next Apple Watch. According to German phone carrier iPhone Ticker (first flagged by Apple Insider) Apple is gearing up for a launch event on Sept. 9; right on target with its typical fall product cycle. The Series 11 is the likely candidate, but as the rumor mill picks up speed, there's growing buzz that Apple coul

Netflix drops One Piece S2 teaser, renews for S3

We have the first teaser for the second season of Netflix's live-action series adaptation of One Piece, subtitled Into the Grand Line. The streaming platform also released some first-look images and announced that the series has been renewed for a third season. (Some spoilers for S1 below.) As previously reported, the original One Piece manga debuted in 1997, following the adventures of one Monkey D. Luffy, who heads a motley crew called the Straw Hat Pirates. There's swordsman Roronoa Zoro, t

Raised by Wolves Is Original Sci-Fi at Its Most Polarizing (2020)

“Raised by Wolves” is the type of sci-fi project that deserves some respect for its ambition alone—whatever you feel from it, you have to admire its full commitment to its Biblical proportions, and the way that it uses its androids and killers to tell a story about faith and parenting. Ridley Scott directed the first two episodes of the series, and using his name as part of the marketing is a fair move (even if it was created by Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote “Prisoners.”) This space oddity is very

‘Helluva Boss’ Team Breaches Tumblr Containment With ‘Homestuck’ Animated Series

The most online of people likely remember Homestuck, Andrew Hussie’s internet fiction series. After Hussie ended the webcomic in 2016, loyal fans have kept it alive with various side projects and Hussie’s occasional guidance. Now, it’s getting its biggest side project yet in the form of an animated series. Or rather, the pilot for one. This comes courtesy of Hazbin Hotel creator Vivienne Medrano and her animation company Spindlehorse, and with some well-known voice talent attached. Video game a

‘Enterprise’ Producer Has Hopes Scott Bakula Might Return to ‘Star Trek’

Star Trek is in a bit of an uncertain place right now, as the shows that created its streaming boom have spent the last couple of years either coming to their end or announcing that they’re preparing to do so—and that’s even putting aside that Paramount itself is controversially about to come under new management. Beyond two and a half more seasons of Strange New Worlds and at least two seasons of Starfleet Academy, where Star Trek goes next is unknown. But it’s also a situation where one Trek a

Wondering who bought the Galaxy S25 Edge? Turns out, A lot of people did.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Twitter leaker has posted purported Galaxy S25 series sales data, including figures for the S25 Edge. The figures suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge sold 650,000 units during its first month of sales. The numbers also point to significant growth for the Galaxy S25 series compared to the S24 series. Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge a few months ago, and initial reports suggested that it saw lower-than-expected sales. Now, a leaker has posted apparent

Samsung will soon make chips for iPhones in the US

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple has said that Samsung’s US factory will make chips for a number of its products, including iPhones. It’s unclear if Apple is referring to its A series chips that are the heart and soul of iPhones. Samsung has historically produced A series chips for Apple, but it’s been a while since anyone but TSMC manufactured iPhone chips. Apple says Samsung’s facility will supply chips that “optimize power and performance of Apple products.” Apple has announce

10 Features That Would Make Me Buy the Apple Watch Series 11

With WatchOS 26 now in public beta, we're getting a telling preview of what's coming to Apple Watches this fall. But for those of us eyeing the next model (likely the Apple Watch Series 11, and possibly an Ultra or SE), the real question is: How will Apple one-up itself from last year's Series 10? Better yet, how will it compete with newer flagships vying for your wrist this year? Some of these requests are grounded in rumors, while others are mere wishful thinking. Here's everything I hope App

A terrific 2D Ninja Gaiden, housefly bucket lists and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest recap of what's going on in the indie game space. A bunch of new games dropped this week that are more than worthy of your attention, including a modern take on an old-school Ninja Gaiden side-scroller and a joyful (perhaps even profound) puzzler about the life of a housefly. By far the biggest story in indie games over the last few weeks concerns payment processors pressuring the likes of Steam owner Valve and Itch to remove or de-index games that feature adult, NSFW and

What founders should think about if looking to raise a Series C

Startup founders face a perplexing and even contradictory capital market in 2025, according to Sapphire Ventures partner Cathy Gao. “Capital isn’t scarce. But access to that capital is harder than ever,” she said. Gao, who spoke at TechCrunch’s All Stage conference in July, said it’s possible for startup founders, especially those in later Series C stage, to navigate this particular economic environment. And they need to start with a reality check. To begin, she said, it’s important to note th

The second-gen Apple Watch is now ‘obsolete’, but don’t get confused

Five years after Apple stops selling a product, it may become ‘vintage’, meaning Apple will still repair it. Five years after that, it can become ‘obsolete,’ and Apple no longer offers hardware service or parts. Today’s that day for the Apple Watch Series 1. Here’s what that means Wait, is it the Series 1, or the 2nd-gen Apple Watch? In a nutshell, both. They’re the same picture device. When Apple released the original Apple Watch in 2015, it didn’t have a Series number. The next year, when Ap
