Samsung brings its AirPods-esque 'blade' design to the Galaxy Buds 3 FE

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-19 16:00:56

Last summer, Samsung overhauled its Galaxy Buds line with the Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro. This year, the company is adding a third, more affordable option to its earbuds family with the Galaxy Buds 3 FE ($150). This so-called "fan edition" carries a "blade" design similar to the existing Galaxy Buds 3 duo, but has the ear tip fit akin to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Active noise cancellation (ANC) is still in the mix here, even with the lower price, and a solid list of features make these an option to co

The best flip phones of 2025: Where does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 stand?

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-12-20 06:15:16

Flip phones have come a long way in the last decade. After their resurgence with the 2019 Motorola Razr refresh, they have only improved over the years. The best flip phones not only have a big cover display and a strong hinge but also an intuitive software to utilize their unique designs. The 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra, for instance, packs an AMOLED foldable display, a feature-rich user interface and a comfortable in-hand feel, alongside a bunch of AI features. However, the $1,300 might not suit

Astronomers Say They’ve Finally Solved the “Little Red Dots” Mystery

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-19 22:00:11

When the James Webb Space Telescope first came online in 2022, it immediately spotted something astronomers had never seen before: "little red dots" peppering the ancient expanse of deep space, originating from around when the universe was just one billion years old. Ever since, we've struggled to explain what these faint signals could be. The prevailing theory is that they're some kind of extremely compact galaxy. But at only two percent of the diameter of the Milky Way, the distribution of st

Best Android Phones of 2025: Tested by Our Experts

The Galaxy S25's biggest flex that I noticed while testing is it shares many of the same attributes as its pricier counterparts, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – but it does so for several hundred dollars less. You'll find features like the AI Select tool, Audio Eraser and deeper Gemini integration across all of Samsung's S25 devices, as well as a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB RAM – making the smaller phone of the bunch still seem pretty mighty.

Galaxy Watch Classic fan discovers bezel trick that looks like magic

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-21 10:56:08

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR A Reddit clip shows the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s bezel still works when held above the screen, thanks to magnetic sensing. The bezel uses a Hall sensor to detect changes in a magnetic field, rather than a mechanical connection. The same system is used on the latest Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The rotating bezel is one of the Galaxy Watch Classic’s signature features, but it turns out that it doesn’t actually need to touch the smartwatch to work. It’s one

This Might Be the Most Massive Black Hole Ever Discovered

Astronomers have identified what could be a new supermassive black hole, and with an estimated mass 36 billion times that of the sun, it is about 10,000 times heavier than the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. This would make it among the most massive objects ever detected.

In March, he had published this and other remarkable discoveries made with his improved telescope in Sidereus Nuncius (‘The Starry Messenger’). But by the summer, he was becoming profoundly alarmed. He had offered philosophers and mathematicians in Venice, Padua, Florence, Pisa and Bologna the chance to look through his telescope and confirm his discoveries. S
