Samsung is sending Airdrop support for Quick Share on the Galaxy S26 series, allowing Android flagship users to share files with iPhones. The update was released a few days prior for Korean users, now expanding to S26 series users around the globe. Though it may have other improvements, the key attention is grabbed by the AirDrop file sharing support.

Here’s how to share files

First, install the latest software update on your Galaxy S26 series and go to the Quick Share via Settings > Connected devices> Quick Share. Look for “Share with Apple devices. This option may have been enabled by default.

If this is available in your device, check for “Who can share with you”, and select Everyone”. If this isn’t enabled, you won’t see Galaxy devices on an iPhone or other Apple devices.

On the other hand, you will need to do the same on an Apple device. Find AirDrop and change its settings to “Everyone for 10 minutes” to receive files from the Galaxy S26 device.

You should know that Apple devices will only enable sharing mode for 10 minutes. So, you will have to check it again for the next session.

The file sharing works as usual, and there are no complexities. Just open your Quick Share or AirDrop and tweak these two settings on each device to share or receive files. Furthermore, you can send files in batches, including multiple images mixed with videos.

This cross-platform file sharing support is currently limited to the S26 series, but the good news is that Samsung will expand it to older flagships with OTA updates. In that case, we expect it to come after the One UI 8.5 update rollout in April.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 design is already leaked online, while its shape and size look identical to the predecessor, the camera should get some upgrades this year. It’s confirmed that the camera island remains vertical with three lenses.

Looking back at last year’s Z Fold 7, its camera specs were:

• 200MP wide-angle camera (OIS, F1.7)
• 12MP ultra-wide angle camera (OIS f/2.2)
• 10MP telephoto camera (OIS, F/2.4)

There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the cover and one inside the foldable screen. To be mentioned, the Fold 7 ramped up to a 200MP camera from the 50MP used in the Fold 6. However, the ultra-wide and the telephoto remained the same. Since Samsung isn’t focusing on the appearance, it must have been working on the camera side.

Main camera

The phone maker adopted a larger aperture in the Galaxy S26 Ultra at F/1.4 aperture, over the f/1.7 aperture used in the S25 Ultra. A larger aperture enables brighter images and videos, and improves the overall picture quality. Since the Z Fold 7 also used the same lens, the new change in S26 Ultra should also reflect in the Galaxy Z Fold 8.

Telephoto

The introduction of the ALoP camera module for the S26 Ultra has changed the long-range zoom paradigm. This new all-lens on prism structure enables folded zoom for smartphone telephoto with space efficiency compared to the periscope module with increased size. ALoP camera also takes more light to the sensor than other long-range zoom lens solutions.

The Z Fold 7 uses a 3X optical zoom, but the new lens could pave the way for a 5X telephoto within the same space.

If Samsung isn’t keen on bringing ALoP to Z Fold 8, it may polish the 3X telephoto with better image outputs. However, that won’t make sense since it’s time for the phone to get better zooming capability.

Ultra-wide angle

That brings us to the third and final upgrade. Galaxy Z Fold 8 could pay attention to the ultra-wide-angle camera, taking it to 50MP. We’re optimistic for this upgrade, but we doubt that Samsung may not go all out on each lens at once.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 will launch at the next Unpacked event alongside Z Flip 8. Besides the camera, the phone will retain its main and cover screens. It will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and One UI 9 (Android 17) out of the box. Upcoming leaks will reveal more about this foldable, so stay tuned with us.

Over the past week, Samsung has released the March 2026 security update for fewer phones than in previous months, indicating a slower pace.

So far, Galaxy S25 series, S24 series, Fold/Flip 7, and Fold/Flip 6 devices have received the latest security patch. However, the rest of the devices are still in the queue to get the OTA update.

To be mentioned, the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung’s latest flagship, still has February 2026 security patches, maintained even after two software rollouts for the lineup. This suggests that the software was pre-planned, and the global version might have slight changes, but let’s not aim too high on this matter.

The entire scenario also shows that Samsung’s monthly security patch rollout plan has been slightly derailed for this month. However, we still have 5 days left to conclude March, and that should be enough to expand the latest security update to all eligible phones.

This delay comes as Samsung is expected to release the 8th One UI 8.5 beta somewhere this week. It is also expected to be the final for the Galaxy S25 series. The stable update is likely to come in the first half of April, followed by an expansion for other devices.

It’s been only a month since the Galaxy S26 series launch, and we may now have our first look at the Galaxy Z Fold 8 design coming courtesy of Androidheadlines.

From the above, the phone looks almost identical to the last generation. Specifically, the display is the same, the camera layout, as well as the bezels. All indicates a familiar design that appeared first with the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Last year, Samsung went overboard and gave the phone a slim look, which not only facilitates a better user experience but also contributes to aesthetics.

Based on the leak, the Z Fold 8 is likely to come with 158.4mm height x 143.2mm width x 4.5mm thin dimensions once fully unfolded, which shrinks to 158.4mm x 72.8mm and 9mm folded.

Compared to this, the Fold 7 measures at 158.4 x 143.2 x 4.2mm unfolded, and 158.4 x 72.8 x 8.9mm folded. That said, the height and the width are the same, but the thickness could be changed. So, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 may carry the same design and dimensions (slightly thicker), thus not making the phone any thinner than the existing generation.

Furthermore, it could also use the 8-inch internal foldable and 6.5-inch cover displays. However, the under-display camera is still a mission from the foldable side.

These are some observations from the CAD renders, but we might come to more details when more leaks start to come out. One of the biggest features of this phone will be the One UI 9.0 (Android 17) user experience, and second, we’ll have to see whether the company adopts ALoP telephoto camera for this year’s Fold lineup, as it did with the S26 Ultra.

Samsung usually releases the Z Fold and Flip lineups in the second half of the year, and this year might not be different.
