One UI 8 update for Galaxy S25 series starts rolling out globally

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has released the stable version of One UI 8 to the Galaxy S25 series in Europe. This expansion comes a few days after the update was initially released in Korea. The update still hasn’t launched in the US as of writing. Samsung finally pushed out the stable version of its One UI 8 software to the Galaxy S25 series on Monday. Unfortunately, this release was initially restricted to Korea. Thankfully, there’s good news for some global users. Don

Galaxy owners baffled by ‘daily download limit’ error for updates

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Galaxy phone users are running into an unusual error message when attempting to download an update. The message says “the server has reached its daily download limit.” It appears that Samsung may have had a glitch in its update infrastructure. Samsung recently started rolling out its September 2025 security update. As you would expect, this build contains a variety of vulnerability fixes for Galaxy devices. While usually you could check to see if the pat

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro already sounds like a massive disappointment

Joe Maring / Android Authority Earlier this summer, Android Authority revealed a potentially huge shakeup for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series. Instead of the expected Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra lineup, we found evidence that Samsung’s 2026 Galaxy S family may consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. The idea that Samsung would eliminate the Galaxy S26 and replace it with the Galaxy S26 Pro was the biggest takeaway in my book, as it would open a big opportunity for Samsung.

Three iPhone 16 series models occupied the top three spots, but two Galaxy phones beat the iPhone 16e. The iPhone 16 Plus was entirely missing from the list, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Xiaomi Redmi 14C 4G also made appearances.

Samsung shares One UI 8 stable release timeline, and it’s not the best news for older phones

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has officially confirmed that stable One UI 8 is coming to most of the devices in its portfolio in 2025 itself.

Samsung actually tries with Galaxy Z Fold 7, breaks foldable sales records

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is reportedly the fastest-selling Galaxy foldable in Western Europe during its first four weeks in the region. The Galaxy device has also outdone foldable phones from other brands in the region during the same time frame. Samsung’s latest foldable phone is extremely thin and light, while offering a 200MP main camera. Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in July, and it’s a major upgrade over previous models.

Galaxy Buds 3 FE Review: Samsung’s ‘Fan Edition” Wireless Earbuds Are Just Enough

If you’re a Samsung fan and you see “FE” branding, you probably think a few things. The first thing that comes to mind is probably, “I’m saving some money.” For those not fluent in Samsung lingo, FE, which is actually short for “Fan Edition,” is the equivalent of SE in Apple-speak, meaning it’s a more budget-friendly alternative to the flagship-level gadgets. But it’s not just savings you want when you’re seeking something FE-branded—you want quality, too. Maybe you’re not expecting every bell a

Your Pixel 10 should no longer have any problems connecting to a Galaxy Watch

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel 10 phones have been refusing to make and maintain a Bluetooth connection with Samsung Galaxy Watch models. Installing the August Google Play system update appears to fully resolve the glitch. Getting set up with a brand-new phone is one of the great joys of our year, and that’s especially true when we’re working with one of Google’s latest Pixel phones. Right now the Pixel 10 series offers a lot to like, but some owners are running into new-phone com

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Is Coming: Watch the Title Trailer Here

Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser and friends will be back for a sequel to 2023's Super Mario Bros. Movie. On Friday, Nintendo released a trailer to YouTube revealing the new movie's title: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. In the video, Mario is snoozing under a tree when a butterfly takes off, zipping through familiar Mushroom Kingdom territory before zooming up to the sky.

I waited ages for an affordable Galaxy flip phone, but the Z Flip 7 FE isn’t it

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Exynos horsepower, which makes for a solid enough match day-to-day. Unfortunately, the $899 price tag seriously drags things down, while Samsung's cover screen software still lags behind rivals. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip way back in 2020, and it’s lingered around the $1,000 mark ever since. We got our first hint of more affordable flip phones when Motorola started to launch cheaper Razr entries, follo

Samsung calls iPhone 17 keynote a ‘Zzz-note,’ forgets Galaxy S25 series exists

TL;DR Samsung has criticized Apple’s iPhone 17 series launch as a “Zzz-note.” The company made the comments as part of a competition announcement on Twitter. This comes despite Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 phones being conservative upgrades. Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this week, and there are a few reasons to be excited about these devices. All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there’s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP

Samsung’s Galaxy Ultra phones could be stuck with the same telephoto camera until 2027

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR According to Ice Universe, Samsung plans to use the same 50MP telephoto sensor on the Galaxy S6 Ultra and S27 Ultra as the one it introduced on the S24 Ultra. The tipster previously claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may actually downgrade the 3x shooter to a smaller sensor. If true, the move would echo Samsung’s decision to stick with its 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main sensor and Sony’s IMX754 3x sensor across multiple generations. Samsung’s Ultra flagships are

Here’s a fresh look at the Galaxy S26 Pro, thanks to new CAD renders

TL;DR Leaked CAD renders reveal the design of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Pro, which closely resembles its predecessor, the Galaxy S25.

With practically all current-generation flagships already launched, it’s time to look forward to what’s coming to us in the next

Deal: Grab a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for just $700

Damien Wilde / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is amazing, but not everyone needs the latest and greatest to be happy. The previous-generation Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is also a fantastic phone, even in 2025 — especially if you can get it for just $699.99! Buy the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for just $699.99 ($600 off) This offer is available from Woot, an Amazon-owned deals website. It is only available in Titanium Yellow.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: I compared both, and here's the winner

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Apple announced its new iPhone 17 lineup at the Awe-Dropping Event in Cupertino, California, on Tuesday. After years of playing it safe, the company is experimenting with the design of its phones. The iPhone 17 Pro Max sports its most noticeable (and maybe controversial) design changes in years. By contrast, its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, retains its signature look. The two flagship phones feature versatile camera setups, plenty of power, and are filled to

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals just how chunky that camera bump may be

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leak claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera bump measures 4.5mm, a little over 2mm more than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s said that Samsung is sticking with a 1/2.52″ telephoto sensor at 50MP. The leak also claims that the phone weighs 217g. Recent Galaxy S26 leaks have hinted at Samsung bringing back the camera bump next year. And it’s not just the Galaxy S26 Edge that’s expected to have a bump; it appears this will be the case for the entire series. So i

No, the Galaxy S25 FE doesn’t have this key security upgrade

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy S25 FE has an optical-based fingerprint scanner. This comes after unofficial claims that the phone has an ultrasonic scanner. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is faster, more accurate, and works with wet fingers. Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 FE last week, and it brings a couple of notable upgrades. We also heard rumors that the phone would have an upgraded in-display fingerprint sensor, bu
