Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 has ultra-wideband (UWB) support, but the feature is exclusive to the South Korean model.

It’s unclear why UWB is limited to the Korean model, but it may be due to regional demand or the cost of regulatory certification in other countries.

‘Monster Island’ Feels Like a ‘Predator’ Movie Set During World War II

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-02-12 10:00:10

Near the end of World War II, a ship carrying POWs captured by Japan comes under attack. Somehow, despite being shackled together at the ankles, two prisoners manage to swim to a nearby island. Saito (Dean Fujioka) is Japanese, and Bronson (Callum Woodhouse) is British, which means they obviously clash at first. But survival requires them to work together—especially when they realize the island is… well, the movie’s called Monster Island, so you know what’s coming. With just enough backstory fo
