Samsung has begun rolling out an improved sleep apnea detection feature to the Galaxy Watch 9, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and Galaxy Ring in the US and South Korea. The update follows clearances from the FDA and South Korea's MFDS, and arrives through the Samsung Health Monitor app. Instead of a simple yes/no result, the algorithm now tracks blood oxygen drops and breathing disruptions across two sleep sessions within a 10-day window to gauge severity.

Envision Energy says it has deployed what it calls the first commercial 800-volt DC power system at its Galaxy AI data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, running since August under the Dubhe Controller and Dubhe Energy Foundation Model. The system converts electricity directly from 10kV medium-voltage AC to an 800V DC bus, cutting out conventional conversion stages, and pairs solid-state transformers with battery storage for millisecond-level load balancing. The Galaxy campus is planned to scale to 3GW and eventually support up to one million AI accelerators.
