If I were to believe the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, I don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. Normally, smartwatches don’t make judgments about your nutritional intake.

Samsung might stop debuting Android updates with Galaxy S phones for good

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-08 22:26:07

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s early release schedule has shaken up platform update plans across OEMs. For Samsung, a new leak clarifies that the company will launch major One UI version bumps alongside the Android platform bump, coinciding them with the launch of the Galaxy Z series flagships. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S series flagships will no longer debut with the new Android version. Instead, it would be the first to feature One UI x.5 versions, which ironically will inclu

Why I love (and hate) the Pixel Watch 4’s utterly bizarre new charger

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-08 22:30:30

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority A leaked render surfaced yesterday showing the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 4’s new charging mechanism, and it’s safe to say that it received a lot of gut reactions from us here at Android Authority. From “… interesting,” to “I strongly dislike that,” to a clear “I hate this,” my colleagues’ thoughts weren’t all that positive, but I took one look at it and… liked it?! I guess. There’s no denying that the contraption looks bizarre and unlike most smartwatch cha

Why I am a Pixel guy

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 00:00:09

I’ve been an Android guy for 15 years. Fun fact: I have never owned an iPhone. I’ve been on Team Android since day one, and over that decade and a half, I’ve used phones from nearly every major brand you can think of — Samsung, LG, OnePlus, and more. But for the past few years, I’ve been all-in on one brand: Google Pixel. My current daily driver is the Google Pixel 9 Pro, and whenever I need to use another phone for work, I immediately find myself missing it. But what is it about this phone, an

I spent a week in New York City with the Samsung Z Fold 7 - and it spoiled me big time

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 ZDNET's key takeaways The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an excellent upgrade over its predecessor, thanks to its slim and light design, a strong hinge and a wider coverscreen.

How Is T-Mobile's Starlink-Based Satellite Service Different From the Rest? I Tried It First-Hand

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-08 21:45:00

T-Mobile's new T-Satellite service commercially launched this week. It uses the Starlink satellite network to let you send and receive text messages from space. For $10 a month (or included in the cost of the company's Experience Beyond plan), the service can be a communications lifeline when you're out of cellular coverage. But that's the thing: To test it out, I had to find a cellular dead zone. T-Mobile estimates there are 500,000 square miles in the US with no cell coverage, so I left my ho

Samsung could finally tackle shutter lag with this Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 00:28:32

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A long-time leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will retain the same 200MP main camera as its predecessors. This main camera sensor will apparently be accompanied by a wider aperture. This latest leak comes after a wild rumor that the S26 Ultra would offer a larger 200MP sensor. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has been on the market for just over six months, but we’ve already encountered a ton of Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks. We previously heard that the new pho

Galaxy S25 FE leak reveals new colors, bad news for RAM and storage

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 02:04:58

TL;DR The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could have 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. While these may be sufficient for most people right now, the specs aren’t very future-proof, especially given the pace of development of AI features. Samsung is expected to charge about $700 for the base variant of the Galaxy S25 FE, which makes these specs difficult to digest.

Is Trump Trying to Get Back in Elon Musk’s Good Graces?

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-01-08 16:10:01

Elon Musk and Donald Trump joined forces before the 2024 presidential election to help each other out. Trump needed Musk’s money to buy votes and Musk needed Trump to decimate the federal government while making sure contracts with his own companies remained untouched. But the two men had a very messy falling out back in late May, when Musk departed his government role with DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.

Samsung killed its classic DeX mode in One UI 8, but there’s a good reason

This move aligns DeX with Google’s broader effort to improve Android’s desktop capabilities, which should benefit DeX in the long run. However, the new DeX is currently a downgrade for users, as it lacks many quality-of-life features that were present in the classic version. Samsung DeX is one of the best features of O
