WIRED's review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 highlights a 4,300-mAh silicon-carbon battery suited mainly for casual use, with charging capped at 25 watts wired and 15 watts wireless, and no magnetic Qi2 support. The phone's main 50-megapixel camera performs well in most conditions, while the 12-megapixel ultrawide lens is weaker and there's no telephoto lens, though cropping enables usable 2X zoom. New AI features include Horizon Lock for steady video, My FanCam for reframing group videos around a chosen subject, and Now Brief/Now Nudge for calendar and reminder assistance.

Samsung has begun pushing One UI 9 to the Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra and the newly released S26 FE, roughly a month after the update first appeared on its Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8 and Flip 8 foldables. The rollout brings AI tools like My FanCam, which automatically crops video to track a chosen person, along with upgrades to Now Brief, Now Nudge, Interpreter, Voice Recorder and Document Scan.

WIRED's review of the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE finds strong daylight photos, a useful 3X optical zoom telephoto lens, and good 4K/8K video with stabilization features like horizontal lock and My FanCam framing. However, at $700 for the base 128 GB model, the reviewer says it's priced too close to the superior standard S26, which often sells for the same amount with a faster chip, more storage, and a better telephoto camera.

Samsung has introduced My FanCam, a Galaxy AI feature that lets users crop and follow a specific person in a video after it's already been recorded, rather than adjusting the frame live like Auto framing does. Because it works after the fact, users are advised to shoot wider scenes so the AI has more room to track and reposition the subject.
