Samsung announced a new parental control feature for Galaxy devices that will gray out certain apps on a child's phone until a parent or guardian explicitly approves them.

Leaker WalleGalaxy reports that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will maintain a 60W charging rating but may optimize power delivery to sustain higher wattage levels longer during initial charging.

The improvements are believed to focus on the charging curve rather than increasing the maximum wattage.
