Samsung has released the January 2026 security update for four more Galaxy devices – Galaxy M06, Galaxy F06, Galaxy M36, and Galaxy Tab Active 5. This update keeps your phone safe and makes it run smoothly, rather than adding new features or changing how it looks.

Users of these devices can verify the latest update via the One UI build versions given below.

• Galaxy M06 – M066BXXS4BZA1
• Galaxy F06 – E066BXXS4BZA1
• Galaxy M36 – M366KKSS4BZA1
• Galaxy Tab Active 5 – X306BXXS9CZA3

Samsung usually releases updates gradually, so users in other markets should receive the same update within one or two weeks.

January 2026 security patch fixes 55 security vulnerabilities found in the previous software version. Google has contributed fixes for one critical issue and 20 high-risk issues, making this update very important for device safety.

Samsung has also added 30 Samsung-specific security fixes (SVEs) that address high and moderate security risks. Phones powered by Exynos processors receive extra protection as well, ensuring better overall security and stability.

To download the update manually, go to Settings >> Software update >> Download and install. Once the download is complete, tap Restart/Install now to finish the installation. Make sure your phone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and has enough battery.

Google has brought a new feature, Gemini Labs, to the Gemini web app. This new section is made to hold features that are still being tested. It helps users clearly see which tools are new, experimental, and not fully finished yet. By doing this, Google makes Gemini easier to understand and use.

A new toggle, Personal Intelligence, has been added with app. This option lets users choose whether Gemini can use information from connected Google apps, like Gmail or Google Drive, during a chat.

The setting is turned on by default. If users turn it off, Gemini will not use their connected app data in that conversation. When a new chat starts, the setting turns back on automatically.

To support these changes, Google has slightly changed the Tools menu. Regular features such as Deep Research, Nano Banana, and Deep Think are now grouped together in the main Tools area. Experimental features are kept in Gemini Labs so users can easily tell the difference.

For months, signs of Gemini Labs appeared in updates behind the scenes, showing Google was preparing a space for testing new ideas. Right now, Gemini Labs is only available on the Gemini web app in some regions. Mobile apps have not changed yet, but Google will likely bring this feature to more users soon. Stay tuned for more information.

Apple’s future iPhone 18 models may not use the most powerful version of next-generation 2-nanometer chip technology, according to recent reports. Instead, Apple is expected to rely on a more basic and stable version of TSMC’s 2nm manufacturing process for its upcoming iPhone processor.

Apple designs its own chips, but they are made by TSMC, the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturer. TSMC is preparing several versions of its new 2nm technology. The first version, N2, focuses on efficiency and reliable production. A later version, N2P, is designed for higher performance but costs more and is harder to produce.

For the iPhone 18, Apple is expected to use the N2 process, not the faster N2P version. The speed difference between the two is small, around 5 percent. Most users will not notice this difference in daily use.

Source – Apple

The reason for this choice is timing. The faster N2P process will be ready later, and Apple needs its chips ready on time for iPhone launches. Using N2 helps Apple avoid delays.

Cost is another reason. The high-performance N2P process is more expensive, and Apple often prefers balanced performance, long battery life, and stability over small speed gains.

Even without the high-performance 2nm technology, the iPhone 18 is expected to be fast, power-efficient, and reliable. For everyday users, the phone should feel smooth and responsive. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest flagship phone in the Galaxy S series. And the company is going to launch its next-generation model later this month. Now, a new report has shared an important update about the Galaxy S25 Ultra display.

According to a reliable tipster @UniverseIce, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra now supports HDR display on Weibo. This means users can watch and view HDR photos and videos directly on Weibo using this smartphone. HDR helps make images look better by showing brighter colors, better contrast, and more detail in both dark and bright areas.

The Weibo post also shows several photos taken with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. These photos highlight the HDR effect clearly. With HDR support, pictures look more colorful, clear, and closer to real life. This makes viewing photos and videos on the phone more enjoyable.

Right now, many popular social media apps support HDR content. These include Instagram, Xiaohongshu, and Weibo. Because of this, users can enjoy high-quality images and videos on these platforms. However, the X platform still does not support HDR content.

The addition of HDR support on Weibo improves the viewing experience on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This update is helpful for users who like taking photos, watching videos, and sharing content on social media. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung is gradually moving forward with the development of One UI 8.5. The version is already in the public beta stage, and Samsung has also started internal testing for several Galaxy devices. Now, a newly launched smartphone has joined this testing list.

According to a reliable tipster, @Mohammed Khatri, Samsung has begun testing One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy A07 5G. The first test build spotted for this device carries the version number A076BXXU2BZA6. This shows that Samsung has started preparing a major software update for the phone.

Even though the Galaxy A07 5G was launched recently, it has now appeared on Samsung’s internal testing servers. The device has been spotted being tested in multiple regions, including India, Thailand, Vietnam, and a few other countries. This suggests that Samsung plans to bring One UI 8.5 to the Galaxy A07 5G in the near future.

However, the overall development of One UI 8.5 seems to be moving slowly. Samsung appears to be taking more time to test the update properly before expanding it to more devices. This approach may help ensure better performance and fewer issues when the update is finally released.

Apart from the Galaxy A07 5G, several other Galaxy smartphones have already been spotted on Samsung’s testing platform. This growing list shows that Samsung is actively working on the update and preparing for a wider rollout.

Samsung has already confirmed that the stable version of One UI 8.5 will launch with the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to arrive later this month. After that, the update is likely to reach more Galaxy devices gradually. More details are expected soon as development continues.

Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch its new Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro earbuds along with the Galaxy S26 series on February 25. Ahead of that, new images have now given us the clearest look at both earbuds and their cases.

According to the renders shared by Android Headlines, both earbuds look similar, but there is one main difference. The Galaxy Buds 4 do not include silicone tips, while the Buds 4 Pro do. Silicone tips help the earbuds fit better and block outside noise.

Both the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro models have a stem design. The charging connectors are on the inside of the stem, and microphones are placed at the bottom and the back top of the earbuds.

Samsung may also add a pinch-to-hold gesture to quickly launch Interpreter Mode on both earbuds. However, the Buds 4 Pro will come with multiple sizes of tips so users can choose the best fit.

The charging cases are rectangular with a transparent lid. The Galaxy Buds 4 case has a dark green base with the inside matching the earbud color, while the Buds 4 Pro case seems to be white. The earbuds lie horizontally inside the case, and the Samsung logo is on the front.

Rumors say that the Galaxy Buds 4 will have a 42mAh battery and the Buds 4 Pro a 57mAh battery, but this is not confirmed yet. The expected prices are €179 for the Buds 4 and €249 for the Buds 4 Pro.

The Buds 4 are light and simple, while the Buds 4 Pro offer a better fit and noise blocking. With their new design and features, these earbuds could be a good choice for Samsung users. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung is getting ready to launch its new wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. These new earbuds are expected to arrive later this month along with the Galaxy S26 series. This time, Samsung aims to avoid the problems it faced with its previous earbuds and focus on making a more reliable product.

The previous model, Galaxy Buds 3, launched in 2024. Many users faced problems with them. The earbuds were weak, had small gaps, and broke easily.

Because of these issues, Samsung stopped selling them soon after launch. This caused disappointment among customers. Now, Samsung wants to regain user trust with better quality.

For the Galaxy Buds 4 series, Samsung is working on a simple and strong design. The new earbuds are expected to look more practical and feel more durable. The stems may be flatter and smoother, which can make them stronger and more comfortable to wear. Samsung may remove extra design elements, like LED lights, to keep things simple.

Aside from this, the charging case may also get a new design. Instead of holding the earbuds upright, the case may let them lie flat. This can make the case easier to use and help protect the earbuds from damage. Samsung may also add a Find My Phone button, so users can find their phone using the earbuds.

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro may include easy touch controls. Users could pinch the stems to play or pause music, change volume, or answer calls. There may also be head controls, like nodding to accept or reject a call or use the voice assistant.

Even with these changes, Samsung is not expected to increase the price. The Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro may cost the same as the Galaxy Buds 3 series. Samsung wants the Galaxy Buds 4 to be simple, strong, and reliable for everyday use.

Samsung Display will reportedly begin production at its new Gen 8 OLED factory, A6, in May. This will be the first factory in the world to make OLED screens using Gen 8 technology.

Gen 8 means the factory uses very large glass sheets to make screens. Bigger glass allows the company to make bigger screens more easily and at lower cost. These large OLED screens are mainly used in laptops and tablets. Today, most phone OLED screens are still made in Gen 6 factories, which use smaller glass.

Samsung Display has already told its suppliers that glass substrates will be added to the A6 production line in May. This is a sign that the factory is almost ready to run at full speed. The screens made at this factory will be used in Apple’s future MacBook laptops. Apple plans to launch MacBooks with OLED screens later this year, in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes.

Source – Samsung Display

The Korean tech giant expects to ship about 2 million OLED screens for MacBooks this year. Some parts needed to finish the display are still under development. Apple is also changing some designs to save money. Because the final assembly happens later, Samsung Display wants to make enough screens first.

Samsung Display has a bigger plan for the A6 factory. It wants the factory to be able to make up to 10 million 14.3-inch OLED screens every year. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung’s new phone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, could cost more than last year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra. The main reason is that the price of important parts like RAM (memory) and storage has gone up. These higher costs are affecting many electronics, and now smartphones are being affected too.

Reports say the Galaxy S26 Ultra could cost about 6% more than the S25 Ultra. The S25 Ultra started at $1,299.99 for the 256GB model. With a 6% increase, the S26 Ultra could cost around $1,377.

So, the price might be between $1,350 and $1,400. In South Korea, the new phone could be 1.8 million Won, up from 1.69 million Won for the previous model.

Samsung has not officially announced the price or the release date yet. These numbers are only estimates. It is possible that Samsung could keep the price the same, but because memory and storage are more expensive now, it is more likely the company will charge a bit more. Other phones in the Galaxy S26 series might also cost more.

For buyers, this means flagship phones in 2026 could be a little more expensive. The main reason is that modern phones need faster memory and more storage, which costs more to make. Small price increases like this are becoming common as phones get better and more advanced.

Even though Samsung hasn’t shared the official price yet, it seems very likely that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will cost more than the S25 Ultra. Buyers should expect a small price increase when the new phone launches later this year.

Samsung may bring a new way to unlock phones with your face on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The exciting part is that it could be very secure without needing a large cutout or notch. This means the phone can stay sleek and all-screen.

According to the information, the new technology is called Polar ID. Unlike normal face unlock, which uses 3D sensors and many parts, Polar ID works by looking at how light reflects off your skin. Everyone’s skin reflects light in a unique way. 

The new system is also very fast. When you look at your phone, it sends out infrared light and captures both the image and how the light reflects. This happens in about 180 milliseconds, so unlocking your phone is almost instant.

Polar ID is much smaller than current face unlock systems. Normal systems need many parts, like cameras and projectors, which take up space. Polar ID combines everything into one module that is 50% smaller. This means Samsung could fit it inside a small punch-hole camera, keeping the phone’s screen clean and smooth.

Right now, this is just a rumor as Samsung has not confirmed the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s final features. But if Polar ID works as expected, it could make Samsung phones more secure and stylish. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung has already released the One UI 8.5 Beta 3 update for the Galaxy S25 series. For a long time, the company has been working on the next beta update. Now, new information confirms that One UI 8.5 Beta 4 is coming to Galaxy S25 models in the US.

According to tipster Tarun Vats, a new One UI 8.5 beta build has appeared on Samsung’s US testing servers for the Galaxy S25 lineup. This confirms that the Beta 4 update is ready for the US region. Earlier, the testing beta build was also spotted on servers in other regions, including South Korea.

The new build version is S938USQU7ZZAH, which shows that Samsung is actively testing the next beta update. This also suggests that Samsung may release more beta updates before launching the final stable version.

Samsung has already confirmed that the stable One UI 8.5 update will be released with the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to launch on 25 February 2025. Since we are already in February 2026, there is still a chance that one more beta update could arrive before the stable rollout.

Earlier, the One UI 8.5 Beta 4 changelog was leaked online. It revealed several fixes and improvements for Galaxy S25 users. The update fixes Phone app crashes, search history issues, and Bluetooth call switching problems. It also fixes a bug where call links did not paste correctly. In addition, Bixby has received backend updates to improve its speed and performance, and AI Select now closes automatically after use.

However, Beta 4 is expected to include more changes and improvements beyond these fixes. The update could be released at any time, so stay tuned for more updates.

Samsung phones, like the Galaxy S24 FE, come with a system app, AICore. This app helps run AI features on the phone. A big benefit is that it can do many of these things on the phone itself, without needing the internet. Some people, however, might want to turn it off to save storage or battery.

In a recent experiment by Android Authority, it has been decided to disable AICore. The process involved navigating to Settings >> Apps >> AICore, then selecting Force Stop and Disable. Additionally, the they enabled the “Process data only on device” option in Galaxy AI to ensure remaining AI tasks would continue to run locally.

After disabling it, they noticed very little change. Some AI features, like Generative Edit in the Gallery or Summarize in Samsung Internet, now asked to use the internet instead of working locally. Since these features were rarely used, it didn’t make much difference. Other features, like Circle to Search and Live Transcribe, continued to work normally.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

Turning off AICore didn’t make a noticeable difference in speed or battery life. The app takes about 1.3GB of storage, but it doesn’t use much RAM, and battery performance stayed about the same. On other phones, some users have seen better battery life after disabling it, so results may vary.

One thing to keep in mind is privacy. With AICore off, tasks that used to run on the phone may now go through the internet. For those who want AI tasks to stay private, keeping it on is safer.

For people who use AI features very low, turning off AICore is generally fine. So, it frees up some storage without breaking the main features of the phone.

Samsung is preparing to launch its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and a new leak has revealed details about its S Pen stylus. The leak gives an early look at the stylus design and some official accessories expected to arrive with the phone. The information has been shared by NieuweMobiel.nl.

The Korean tech giant appears to be introducing a new two-tone design for the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s S Pen. Most of the stylus body comes in either black or white, which makes up nearly 90 percent of the pen. The top part of the S Pen, which remains visible when stored inside the phone, matches the color of the device.

The leaked images show four color options that are expected to match the Galaxy S26 Ultra finishes. These include Cobalt Violet, Shadow Black, White Shadow, and Galactical Blue. This design helps the S Pen blend smoothly with the phone and keeps a clean, simple look.

Samsung will continue to offer familiar S Pen features. The stylus will include a physical button on the side and a clickable top. However, Bluetooth support is not making a return. This means features like Air Actions and gesture controls will not be available on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Image via NieuweMobiel.nl.

Along with the S Pen, the leak also reveals several accessories for the device. These include anti-reflective screen protectors and clear cases, available both with and without a magnetic ring on the back.

Aside from this, Samsung is also expected to offer a wide range of official cases at launch. These will reportedly include the Standing Grip Case, Rugged Case, Flipsuit Case, Silicone Case, and Kinduit Case.

Samsung will reportedly launch the Galaxy S26 series on 25 February 2026 at the Galaxy Unpacked event. Stay tuned for more information.

WhatsApp has added a new feature for Android beta users. This helps WhatsApp Channel admins see how many times their posts have been forwarded. It gives them a better idea of which posts people like and share.

The main highlight in this update is that channel admins can now see the forward count for their posts. When someone forwards a post, the number of forwards will appear next to the forward button. It will also show the emoji reactions from followers.

Right now, only admins can see this number, and followers cannot see it yet. This feature gives admins more information about their channels.

Image via WABetaInfo

Earlier, WhatsApp started testing a feature to show how many people view a post, but that is still being developed. WhatsApp is trying two options – showing view counts only to admins, or also letting followers see them.

The forward count works in a way that protects user privacy. When a post is forwarded, it is encrypted, so WhatsApp cannot know who sent it or who received it. The app only counts the number of contacts the post is sent to, even if it is forwarded multiple times in the same chat. This number is then added to the total forwards for the post.

This feature is available in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.26.4.11, through the Google Play Beta Program. Right now, it is rolling out to some beta testers. WhatsApp will continue working on the feature to make sure it works properly before making it available to all users.

Right now, there’s a great deal on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra on Amazon. Many buyers who wanted this powerful phone have a chance to get it at a much lower price than usual. If you are planning to buy a high-end smartphone, this offer could be worth considering.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra normally has an official price of $1299.99. But on Amazon, the phone is now priced at $1045.99. This means you save around 20% off the original price.

The discount applies only to the 256GB storage variant and in the Black color option. Shopping at Amazon makes it easy and safe to order the phone online and have it delivered to your home.

This kind of discount is a good deal because the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a premium phone. It usually stays at near full price for long after launch. So getting a big price cut like this makes the phone more affordable for many buyers. Amazon’s offer brings the cost down by more than $250, which is a strong saving on a flagship device.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is Samsung’s premium smartphone model. It comes with 256GB of storage, offering plenty of space for apps, photos, and videos. The Black color adds a stylish look, while the hardware gives fast performance and strong camera capability.

With this Amazon deal, buyers can enjoy a premium phone at a better and more affordable price. It is limited time deal, click here to visit the page.

Back in November 2025, Google officially confirmed Gemini for Android Auto, which raises hopes for a better voice assistant in cars. Many drivers were excited because the Google Assistant has not been working well in cars. People hoped Gemini would arrive quickly, but that has not happened.

Even after several months, most Android Auto users still do not have Gemini. This has surprised and disappointed many drivers who were waiting for the update.

Drivers are sharing their experiences online every day. On Reddit, many users say Gemini has not appeared on their Android Auto system yet. Most cars still show the old Google Assistant.

A report by 9to5Google makes the situation clear. Nearly 7,200 people voted, and 92% said they do not have Gemini. Only a very small number said they got it recently.

Some users tried joining the Android Auto beta program. A few people say this helped, but it does not work for everyone and is not recommended for regular users.

Google may be rolling out Gemini gradually. Early users say Gemini is better at natural talking and feels more human while driving. This is one reason people are excited about it.

However, Gemini also has an issue right now. Some users report that it talks too long, stops suddenly, or even talks to itself during Gemini Live.

Google has not shared any clear update about when more people will get Gemini. Until Google speeds things up, most Android Auto users will have to wait longer for the new assistant.

Samsung is working on its next flagship phone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and new reports suggest it will come with an interesting camera upgrade. The phone is expected to launch in late February 2026, and early leaks show that the camera could be one of its main highlights.

Tipster @UniverseIce has revealed that Samsung is adding a new 24MP photo mode to the phone’s default camera app. This is not the 24MP option in Expert RAW. Instead, it is a simpler mode meant for everyday photography, which gives more detail than the standard 12MP mode without needing heavy editing.

This new 24MP mode works in Photo and Portrait modes. When a picture is taken, the phone takes about three seconds to process it. The final photo looks clean and natural, especially when taking pictures of people or bright scenes. In addition, issues like over-sharpening or purple edges are reduced.

Earlier, it was reported that the 24MP mode would not be on by default. Users had to go into Camera Assistant and turn it on in Advanced resolution options before it could be used in the camera app.

But new reports say Samsung has now added this 24MP mode directly to the default camera. This means users might not need to turn it on in the settings anymore. This feature will be exclusive to the Galaxy S26 series. Stay tuned for more information.

Google is adding new security features to Android to protect phones from theft. These features are expected to come to Samsung Galaxy phones with the new update. Phone theft is a big issue, and when a phone is stolen, personal data like photos, messages, passwords, and bank apps can be at risk.

Back in 2024, Google first added theft protection features to Android. Samsung Galaxy phones received them with the One UI 7 update. Now, Google is improving these features to make phones safer and harder for thieves to use.

The new improvement is the Failed Authentication Lock feature. If someone enters the wrong PIN, password, or pattern many times, the phone will lock automatically. Google has also added a simple on and off option, so users can choose how they want this feature to work.

Google is also making it harder for someone to guess the phone’s screen lock. When too many wrong attempts are made, the phone will make the person wait longer before trying again. This helps stop thieves from guessing passwords. 

There’s also an Identity Check feature. When the phone is not in a trusted place, it will ask for a fingerprint or face scan before allowing important actions. This protection now works with more apps, including banking apps and password managers.

Google is also improving the Remote Lock feature. If a phone is lost or stolen, users can lock it from another phone or computer using a web browser. A new security question makes sure only the phone owner can do this.

These improved theft protection features are expected to reach Samsung Galaxy phones soon. It will make phones safer and give users more peace of mind.
