Samsung taking market share from Apple in U.S. as foldable phones gain momentum

In this article AAPL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT In 2014, Apple and Samsung were duking it out to rule the U.S. smartphone market. Samsung was selling devices with large screens, and iPhone fans were demanding a response. It took Apple some time, but the company finally released the iPhone 6, breaking with previous iterations and giving consumers a large-screen option. The iPhone won. But more than a decade later, recent smartphone sales and shipment figures signal that the

Pairing your Galaxy Watch with a non-Samsung phone? Here’s what you’re missing out on

Andy Walker / Android Authority Samsung’s smartwatches (and the Galaxy Ring) are compatible with most Android phones, but you’ll only get the full experience when paired with Samsung Galaxy smartphones. This applies to older Galaxy Watch models up to the latest Galaxy Watch 8 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025. But what are these features, and are they worth considering switching smartphones for? Do you use a Galaxy Watch with a Samsung smartphone? 65 votes Yes, I do. 40 % No, I pair my Galaxy

A Nostalgic ‘Addams Family’ Prop Could Join Your Spooky, Ooky Collection

The Addams Family has come a long way since Charles Addams’ paper cartoons debuted in 1938 and is currently in its Gen Z era incarnation, thanks to director Tim Burton. Still, the real ones know that before Wednesday on Netflix introduced us to Jenna Ortega as the acerbic teen and explored her mystery-laden life in dark academia, Christina Ricci made her a ’90s icon. Propstore is rolling out a standout piece of nostalgia for The Addams Family as part of its upcoming Entertainment Memorabilia Au

Changing these 10 settings on my Samsung phone greatly improved the user experience

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've been fairly vocal recently that Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin. 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.

The Galaxy S26 Pro might kill the best Samsung phone for most people

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority We’ve heard that Apple is planning to shake up its iPhone lineup this year by dropping the Plus model in favor of a thinner iPhone Air — going from the least-hyped iPhone to what’s sure to be an attention grabber. Samsung, too, introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge to show off a slimmer design on the Android side. But the rest of the S25 lineup? Boring with a capital B. There weren’t enough changes to justify it as a worthwhile early upgrade over the Galaxy S24 ser

Samsung is working on an all-new pair of smart glasses to take on Ray-Ban Meta

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is reportedly developing affordable smart glasses inspired by Ray-Ban Meta. The glasses may include a camera, speakers, and a microphone, but no display. Set for a late 2026 debut, these smart glasses are separate from Samsung’s XR headset plans. Smart glasses remain a particularly niche genre of wearable technology, even in mid-2025, but they are steadily growing in popularity. While the Ray-Ban Meta continues to lead the charge and has prove

I spent two weeks with the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and I really think it’s worth $500

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is one of the most expensive Wear OS watches available in 2025, but it's also one of the best. It looks incredible, the rotating bezel is magical, and One UI 8 Watch is a killer piece of software. As long as the price doesn't scare you, the Watch 8 Classic is tough to beat. At first glance, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic looks like a smartwatch so many of us have been waiting for. It’s a Samsung watch with a reasonably-sized design, a bright

These $30,000 TVs With ‘Micro RGB’ Are a Reminder That You Shouldn’t Hype New Screens

Samsung and Hisense have a new type of TV you can buy right now if you have more than $30,000 sitting in an overstuffed piggy bank somewhere. You’ve heard of OLED, mini LED, and maybe even micro LED, but Samsung and Hisense are asking if you could care about micro RGB? Probably not, but the display makers are selling them at a premium and at a size you couldn’t fit into any living room without barn-high ceilings. The price is just a distraction—a means of drawing eyeballs to new screen technolog

I’ve always been more of a Flip fan, but the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has won me over

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be headed the wrong way on price, but it's going in the right direction for everything else. It's both slimmer and more powerful than any Fold before it, fitting the same battery and a new chipset into a body that's barely over four millimeters when open. I'd love to see one or two S Ultra-tier improvements, but there's no denying this is the foldable Samsung has wanted to make for years. I’ve been on board with foldable phones since the s

7 things the Galaxy S26 Pro needs to be my next Android phone

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung’s phone lineup hasn’t changed much since 2020, when the Galaxy S20 series set the precedent of a base, Plus, and Ultra model every year. There have been some additions, such as the more budget-friendly FE variants or this year’s thinner Galaxy S25 Edge, but by and large, the formula has been the same for the last five years. That could change in 2026, as Samsung may pivot to a Galaxy S26 Pro, Edge, and Ultra. If that is the case, the phone I’d be most in

I captured 500 photos with the two best Android camera phones - and there's a clear winner

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Oppo Find X8 Ultra performs better than its Samsung rival in almost every scenario. The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes close in ultrawide camera comparison. Oppo's flagship has unique features like XPAN mode, Hasselblad color science, and Master mode.

Just because I like Pixels doesn’t mean I hate Samsung

It’s one of the oldest rivalries in the consumer world: Coke vs Pepsi. If I told you I prefer Coke, would you then assume I hate Pepsi? Any sane person would answer “no” to that question. “It’s just a preference,” they’d say. For some reason, though, that same logic doesn’t always seem to apply in the tech world, especially when it comes to smartphones. After working at Android Authority for many years, I’ve learned that lots of people out there think that if you’re on one side of a coin, you m

Samsung Messages hints at satellite support, but should you get your hopes up? (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Users found references to Satellite Messaging in the Samsung Messages app. However, the checked version of the app is old. The relevant code was actually added back in December 2024 and hasn’t changed since. There’s no indication that active feature development is underway, so don’t get your hopes up for satellite messaging. In January, Samsung reiterated that it was sunsetting Samsung Messages and moving users to Google Messages. Those who don’t wish to
