I bought Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 - here's why I have buyer's remorse

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is on sale for $650 in four color options.

I’ve used Pixel and Galaxy phones for a decade, and Google wins in one aspect every time

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’ve been using smartphones since 2011, and they’ve all been Samsung and Google devices (aside from a few other brands due to my job). Both companies have come a long way over the years, and while the S24 Ultra is my phone of choice for now, that may soon change for one reason. Pixels and Galaxy phones each have their strengths and weaknesses, but one thing I’ve always found Google is best at is customer support, while Samsung has more reliable devices. As I t

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry. And yet, I feel a sting of hesitation — a faster-

Own a Samsung phone? 10 settings I always change first for the best 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.

Apple accidentally helps promote Samsung’s new foldable (Update: Apple vindicated)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Apple support account appeared to post a Galaxy Z Flip 7 promo video on Weibo. The post was quickly deleted, but not before it was spotted and shared by others. It has since become apparent that the error was caused by Weibo’s servers, rather than an Apple employee’s mistake. Update: July 31, 2025 (5:10 PM ET): It looks like Apple may not have hit the wrong upload button after all. A Chinese tech blogger says the incident was due to a Weibo client

Don’t worry, Samsung’s Android XR headset is still launching this year

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR During its most recent earnings call, Samsung has re-confirmed that its Project Moohan Android XR headset is launching “this year.” Samsung has previously hinted at a 2025 release date, and this is the latest confirmation that it’s still on track.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Breaks Record for Highest Number of Fold Preorders

Samsung's latest foldables are already making quite a statement, beyond their bold new designs -- or maybe because of them. The phone-maker said in a newsroom post Thursday that the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is its thinnest foldable yet, racked up more preorders "than any previous Z Fold device in US history." It added that both the Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7 saw a more than 25% hike in total preorders compared with last year's handsets. Carriers also saw an uptick in sales. Samsung says there was

If Samsung gets it right, the Galaxy S26 Pro could be a game-changer for small phone fans

Yesterday, Android Authority published an exclusive report detailing what Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup could look like next year. And based on what we know, Samsung could be releasing one of the biggest Galaxy S shakeups we’ve ever seen. Traditionally, we expect Samsung to release three phones: a base model, a Plus variant, and its flagship Ultra — as you see with the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, with the Galaxy S26 series, we may instead get the Galaxy S26 Pro, Ga

One UI 8 lets you use Samsung DeX on your PC again, but there’s a catch

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR The latest One UI 8 release makes it possible to use Samsung DeX on PCs again, though you’ll need a third-party tool called scrcpy to do so. Samsung previously discontinued its “DeX for PC” application, leaving users without the dedicated desktop interface on their computers. One UI 8’s new DeX can run on a virtual display, which allows the open-source scrcpy tool to mirror the full desktop experience to a PC. If you have a compatible Galaxy device, y

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: Quantum leap

The first foldable phones hit the market six years ago, and they were rife with compromises and shortcomings.

Worried about the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s screen durability? Here’s what Samsung says.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Display has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s folding screen durability is on par with that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Update 11:19 a.m. PT: Here’s a statement from an Apple spokesperson: “Apple Support has only posted Apple content. We are working with Weibo to understand how this happened.” What seems to have happened here is that a Weibo client-side bug caused the text of the Apple Support post to be mismatched with the Samsung video.
