Samsung is quietly removing the Galaxy Buds 3 from its USA online store just before Galaxy Unpacked 2026. Unlike a usual sold-out product, the Buds 3 page now redirects to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, suggesting Samsung may not bring the standard model back. This move seems timed to make room for the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 lineup.

The regular Galaxy Buds 3 are known for their tipless, open design. Without silicone eartips, they didn’t seal the ear canal, which made fit and sound quality inconsistent. Noise isolation was limited, and the bass could feel weak for some users.

When Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, sales of the Galaxy Buds 3 declined. The FE model was cheaper, and even though it skipped some features like wireless charging and higher water resistance, many users felt it sounded better than the standard Buds 3.

Currently, the Buds 3 Pro and Buds 3 FE remain available in the USA, while the standard Buds 3 appear to be a short-lived experiment. Removing the product now clears space for the new generation.

For Samsung earbud fans, this likely marks the end of the regular Buds 3 as attention shifts to the Galaxy Buds 4, expected to launch at Unpacked 2026. The move shows Samsung is enhancing its earbuds lineup, keeping models that deliver the best performance and quietly retiring ones that didn’t connect as well with users.

With the Samsung Galaxy S26 series launch just around the corner, new details about the phones have appeared online. Canadian accessory maker dbrand has listed cases, skins, and screen protectors for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra on its website, which gives fans an early look at the design of these phones.

For the standard Galaxy S26, dbrand offers a customizable Grip Case, allowing users to change the grip to their liking. There are also several skin options. These skins are carefully cut by industrial-grade machines to fit the phone perfectly.

The Prism 2.0 Screen Protector is also available. For this, dbrand says it is easy to install, scratch-proof, dust-proof, fingerprint-proof, and very simple to use.

The Galaxy S26 Plus comes with the same accessories as the standard S26. It includes customizable Grip cases, skins, and the Prism 2.0 screen protector.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has a few more options. In addition to the customizable Grip Case, dbrand offers a rugged Tank Case for extra protection. There’s also the Ghost Case 2.0, a transparent case that resists yellowing, fits the phone well, provides a good grip, and offers strong protection without hiding the phone’s look.

Like the other models, the Ultra also has skins in different designs and the Prism 2.0 screen protector for full protection.

These accessories not only give a first look at the phones’ camera designs but also show what kinds of customization and protection users can expect. Samsung has scheduled the Galaxy Unpacked event 2026 for February 25, 2026. Stay tuned.

Google is working on small design changes for Android Auto. These changes are mainly for the icons that show your phone’s network signal on your car’s screen. The new design looks similar to the style introduced in Android 16. It makes Android Auto look cleaner and more modern, just like Android phones.

In the latest Android Auto beta version (16.3.160744), new signal strength icons have been found by Assemble Debug. The current version shows signal strength as a filled triangle shape. The new design replaces this with separate vertical bars that clearly show how strong the signal is. The icons also look rounder and smoother than before.

Also, there is an updated text for network types like 4G or 5G. The font looks more modern and easier to read. However, the battery icon still looks the same, which means not all icons have been updated yet.

Even though Android 16 already has new status bar icons on phones, Android Auto has continued using the old style. This happens because Android Auto stores its own icons inside the app. It does not directly copy the icons from your phone. That’s why most users still see the older design in their cars.

Some Samsung users may notice slightly different icons because Samsung uses its own design style. Notably, both gray and black versions of the new icons has been spotted. This suggests Google is preparing a light theme for Android Auto.

There is no official release date yet, but the update could arrive in a future version. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Galaxy S26 series is going to launch on 25 February 2026. The company has already started sharing teaser videos to create excitement about the new phones. Now, the company has shared another teaser that reveals a new and exciting feature – a low-light video recording option.

A few days ago, Samsung showed a teaser about the Privacy Display feature of the Galaxy S26 series. Now, here is the teaser for the Low Light Video option.

Samsung Mobile US posted a new teaser video on X. In the post, Samsung wrote:

“Brighten your after-hours. Can your phone do that? Get ready for the next level of photography with #GalaxyAI to capture your shot even in the lowest lighting.”

The teaser video highlights the phone’s ability to record bright and clear videos even at night or in very dark places. In the video, the words “Sun down. Moon up.” appear on the screen, showing that the feature is designed for nighttime recording.

The video also shows how the Galaxy S26 series can improve brightness in dark scenes. Even when there is very little light, the phone makes the video look clearer and more detailed. This means users can capture better memories at night without worrying about poor lighting.

Samsung is ready to launch the Galaxy S26 series on February 25, 2026. Ahead of the official launch, many leaks and rumors have already shared details about these new phones. Now, a fresh leak has revealed an interesting Galaxy AI feature of the Galaxy S26 series that may make photo editing much easier for users.

A well-known tipster, @thatjoshguy69, revealed the Galaxy S26 series will bring a new Galaxy AI feature. The new feature has been spotted in the Tips section –  Transform photos with prompts and image clips.

This new feature will let users edit photos by simply typing what they want. In the Photo Assist tool, there will be a text box where you can write instructions like adding an object, removing something, or changing parts of the image. Then, the AI will understand the text and edit the image automatically.

Users will also be able to take objects from other photos and add them to a new picture. You just need to describe how you want the final image to look. The AI will naturally mix everything so the photo looks real.

In addition, there is a useful option for sketching. By tapping the Brush icon, users can draw something on the photo. It can be a simple, rough drawing. The AI will then turn that sketch into a realistic object that matches the image.

The Galaxy S26 series will come with stable One UI 8.5 software. This means the new AI photo editing feature will be included in One UI 8.5. Right now, One UI 8.5 is being tested in public beta for the Galaxy S25 series. Stay tuned for more information.

WhatsApp has pushed a new beta update for Android, version 2.26.6.9, through the Google Play Beta Program. This update doesn’t have big changes yet, but it looks at a new feature that will make it easier to see status updates.

The new feature under testing is showing status updates in the top app bar. Right now, if you want to see who posted a status, you have to tap the profile icon or scroll through all your chats.

With this new feature, status updates from people you chat with most will appear at the top of the screen in the Chats tab. This makes it quicker to see updates without leaving your chat list.

Image via WABetaInfo

In addition to the top bar, scrolling down in the Chats tab will show a row of all contacts’ status updates. You can scroll horizontally to view them, just like in the old Status tab. Any contacts you have hidden will not appear here.

The feature is currently under development, so WhatsApp may make changes before it’s officially released. At the moment, this feature is only available in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.26.6.9. Regular users will not see it yet.

Once testing is done, WhatsApp plans to gradually roll out the feature to all users. This will allow people to quickly check status updates right from the Chats tab without extra steps.

Samsung became the top smartphone brand in Southeast Asia again in 2025, according to new data from Omdia. This happened even though the overall market was slightly weaker than last year.

In total, 100 million smartphones were shipped in Southeast Asia in 2025. This was 1% lower than in 2024. Sales were slow in the first three quarters of the year. But in the last three months, the market improved. Shipments in the fourth quarter rose 2% compared with the same period last year. This helped Samsung finish the year strongly.

Samsung shipped 17.9 million phones in 2025. This was 5% more than the year before. The company captured 18% of the market, which makes it number one in the region. While some other brands saw their sales fall, Samsung was able to grow.

In the fourth quarter, Samsung also did very well. It shipped 4.2 million phones during that period, up 19% year-on-year. This gave it a 17% market share for the quarter.

Image via Omdia

One main reason for Samsung’s success was its Galaxy A17 series. These phones offer better features than the earlier Galaxy A16 models but are still affordable. In Southeast Asia, most smartphones sold cost less than US $200. Because of this, strong low-cost models are very important.

Looking ahead to 2026, Samsung may face higher production costs. Prices for memory and storage parts are rising. Even so, Samsung’s strong product updates and good performance in late 2025 show it is in a good position to stay on top.

Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S26 series will launch on 25 February 2026. Ahead of the official release, the company has shared a new teaser video revealing an interesting feature – Privacy Display.

In the teaser, Samsung shows how the new Privacy Display feature works. The Galaxy S26 series will include a special zero peeking mode. This means that when the feature is turned on, people sitting beside you will not be able to see what is on your phone screen.

The privacy display hides some of the pixels through a collaboration between the hardware and software. With a hidden side view, only the front user can view the on-screen content.

The Privacy Display feature works through a combination of hardware and software. It hides certain pixels on the screen in a smart way. When you look at the phone directly from the front, you can clearly see everything on the screen. However, if someone tries to look at your phone from the side, the screen appears dark or black. This helps protect your personal information in public places.

The teaser video shows three people sitting next to each other in a public place. The person in the middle is using her Galaxy S26 phone, while the two people sitting beside her can easily see her screen. She then turns on the Privacy Display feature.

For your eyes only. Get ready for the next level of privacy. Can your phone do that? #GalaxyAI

Once it is activated, the side view of the screen becomes dark. The two people next to her can no longer see what is displayed. From their angle, the screen looks completely black, while the main user can still see everything clearly from the front.

Can your phone do that? No, as Samsung is going to release the Privacy Display feature with the Galaxy S26 series in February 2026. You can reserve for the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 now. Stay tuned.

Samsung is getting ready to launch the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro soon. We have already seen many leaks and rumors about these upcoming earbuds. Now, a new detail about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro has appeared online.

According to the tipster, @TarunVats, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro has been spotted inside the Tips section of Samsung phones. This new information shows that Samsung may make it easier for users to manage their earbuds.

Samsung’s Tips section suggests that users will be able to control their Galaxy Buds directly from the phone’s main Settings app. This means you may not need to open the Galaxy Wearable app every time you want to change something. Instead, important controls could be available right inside the phone’s settings.

Image via Tarunvats

This would make things much simpler and faster. Right now, if you want to change features like sound settings, touch controls, or noise cancellation, you usually have to open the Galaxy Wearable app. With One UI 8.5, those options could appear automatically in the Settings menu when the earbuds are connected.

The Tips section also explains that Galaxy Buds settings will only show up when the earbuds are connected to the phone. There will also be a “Go to Settings” option in the Tips section, which makes it easy to find the right page quickly.

Samsung has not officially confirmed these details yet. However, this leak suggests that the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro could offer a smoother and more user-friendly experience. We can expect more information to come out as the official launch gets closer. Stay tuned.

Samsung has released a new update for its LockStar Good Lock module, which helps users customize their phone’s lock screen. The new update comes with version 8.5.00.10. It does not bring big changes, but it adds a few small improvements that make the app better and easier to use.

The fresh update brings improvements to provide a better Galaxy experience. Samsung has adjusted the manual brightness range for full-screen Always On Display. This means users now have better control over how bright or dim the screen looks when AOD is on.

You can increase brightness if the screen looks too dark during the day. You can also lower it at night to make it comfortable for your eyes and save battery.

Moreover, the update adds a new “Swirl” unlock animation. This is a new animation style that appears when you unlock your phone. It gives a smooth and stylish effect when moving from the lock screen to the home screen. It’s a simple but fun way to make your phone feel different.

Samsung has also improved the status bar visibility in the unlock animation edit screen. Now, icons like battery level and network signal are easier to see while editing animations.

LockStar lets users change how their lock screen looks. You can move the clock, adjust notifications, and choose different unlock effects. It gives more freedom to personalize your Galaxy phone. You can download the update via Galaxy Store or directly from the Good Lock app.

Google has begun rolling out Android 17 Beta 1 to eligible Pixel devices. The beta was supposed to launch on Wednesday, February 11, but it was delayed for a couple of days. Google didn’t explain the reason for the delay, only saying the update was “coming soon.” Now, the beta is finally available for users who are enrolled in the Android beta program.

Android 17 is codenamed “Cinnamon Bun”. This beta update brings several improvements and some visual changes. One of the changes is that apps targeting Android 17 must now use adaptive layouts. This makes apps look good on all screen sizes and ensures a smoother experience on different Pixel devices.

The update also adds new camera features, which fix problems like video glitches or skipping when switching between camera modes. This should make recording videos smoother and more reliable.

There are also some design updates. The brightness icon has been updated, and the location indicator is now slightly darker to make it easier to see. The Gemini screen shrink animation can now be used from a corner swipe, without needing to activate the overlay from the power button.

Moreover, the Settings menus are now more compact. The volume overflow icon has been changed from three dots to a settings icon, which turns into a waveform when media plays.

If you have a recent Pixel device, including the Pixel 6, 6a, 7, 7a, 8, 8a, 9, Pixel Fold, or Pixel Tablet, you can get Android 17 Beta 1 via an OTA update. If you are not enrolled yet, you can sign up through Google’s Android beta website.

This first beta allows users to try out Android 17 early. It is the start of testing for new features, and feedback from beta users will help make the final version more stable and polished. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung is getting ready to launch its new Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. Before the official launch, new images of the earbuds have been found in leaked One UI 9.0 software. These pictures give us another early look at the design of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.

The images have been discovered inside the Galaxy Wearable app by Sammobile in leaked firmware for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This means Samsung has already added the official images of the earbuds into its system. When people buy the new Galaxy Buds 4 or Buds 4 Pro and connect them to their phone, they will likely see these same images during setup.

Samsung will officially show the Galaxy Buds 4 series on February 25 at its first Unpacked event of 2026. Many leaks have already revealed the design, and these new images confirm how the earbuds will look. The design appears clean and modern, similar to recent Samsung earbuds.

Reports say Samsung has improved the sound quality in the new models. The company is also fixing problems that users faced with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Some people had issues with charging and uneven paint on the earbuds. Samsung has decided to remove these lights in the new version to avoid this issue.

With better sound, improved quality, and no price increase, the Galaxy Buds 4 series could be a good choice for people looking for new wireless earbuds. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung is preparing a new feature, Now Nudge, for One UI 9.0. It uses Galaxy AI to help users get things done faster. The feature can understand what is on your phone screen and give useful suggestions.

Now Nudge is not in the One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy S25 series. But it has been found in leaked One UI 9.0 software for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This shows Samsung is working on it for the next big update.

A reliable tipster @thatjoshguy69 has spotted a list of tasks in One UI 9 testing firmware that Now Nudge can help with. These include rides or car rentals, flights, government services, location info, medical information, phone services, movies, and more. Samsung may add even more tasks before launch.

The feature works by noticing what you are doing on your screen. Like, if you are filling out a form online, it can suggest shortcuts for each section. This saves time and makes tasks easier. 

Samsung is likely to improve the feature even more before its official release. Some functions might appear earlier in One UI 8.5. We will know more when the Galaxy S26 series launches on February 25.

Now Nudge looks like a very useful tool. By giving smart suggestions at the right time, it can make daily tasks faster and simpler. Samsung users can expect a feature that helps them get more done with less effort in One UI 9. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung is getting ready to launch a new foldable phone, and we finally have our first look at it. Early test versions of One UI 9 include animations of a device believed to be the “Wide” Galaxy Z Fold. This is the first official hint about its design, thanks to Android Authority.

The animations show a foldable phone that looks wider than the current Galaxy Z Fold. Both light and dark mode versions of the animation are included.

The device is connected to model number SM-F971U and codename H8, which were linked to the Wide Fold in earlier rumors. This makes it very likely that the phone shown is the new wider foldable.

These animations mainly show the shape and folding motion of the device. They do not include full details, like the camera design. It’s expected that the final phone will still have a normal camera setup on the back.

Image via Android Authority

The wider design may give a bigger outer screen and a better viewing experience for users. The presence of the Wide Fold in One UI 9 suggests it could launch soon.

Samsung often releases new foldable phones during this time. The Wide Fold might come alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8. While we wait for official photos, this leak gives us the clearest first look at Samsung’s possible new foldable.

Samsung Internet’s new Ask AI feature has appeared in action. It lets you ask questions about webpages while browsing. First spotted in One UI 9 testing, SammyGuru shows it fully working, including its settings graphics.

February 13

Samsung is working on a big update for its Internet browser app. This update will come with One UI 9, even though One UI 8.5 has not fully launched yet. Early test software has leaked online, which gives us a first look at new features. The main highlight of One UI 9 Internet Browser is a new AI tool.

One UI 9 is expected to arrive later this year with foldables. Even though it is months away, the early details are already creating excitement. The new AI feature could change how people browse the web.

According to Android Authority, the leaked firmware reveals a feature – Ask AI. This tool will let users ask questions directly inside the Samsung Internet browser. You can ask about the webpage you are reading or even other general topics. The aim is to make browsing more helpful and interactive.

Image via Android Authority

The report also says that Ask AI will allow follow-up questions. This means users can continue asking more things in the same chat. It will feel more like talking to a smart assistant. This could make it easier to understand difficult content online.

Samsung Internet already has AI tools under a feature called Browsing Assist. It can translate pages, give short summaries, and highlight news. However, Ask AI seems more advanced and more interactive.

The leaked details also suggest Samsung may use your browsing history for better answers. This can help the AI give more personal results. Users may get options to control how long their activity is saved. A “Session only” option was seen in the test version.

One UI 9 is expected to launch in the middle of the year. The company has not officially announced details yet. More information should be shared closer to launch. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung is reportedly working on a new kind of foldable phone. New information from the One UI 9 test software shows that a new “Wide” Galaxy Z Fold could be coming. This phone might fold differently from the current Z Fold models.

The software code spotted via @Assemble Debug includes a new label –  WideFoldModel. Samsung already has two foldable types in its software: TYPE_FOLD, which is the normal foldable that opens like a book, and TYPE_MULTIFOLD, which is likely for phones that fold in more than one way, like the Galaxy Z TriFold.

Now there is a third type, WideFoldModel, which suggests Samsung is working on a phone that opens sideways instead of up and down. The code also has a check called isWideFoldModel, which means the phone may be built to work in landscape mode.

A landscape-style fold could be better for watching videos, playing games, and using apps side by side. It could also make typing easier because the keyboard would be wider. Many people have said the current Galaxy Z Fold has a narrow outer screen, and a wide fold could solve that problem.

We don’t know when this phone will come out or what it will be called. But the fact that Samsung added a new foldable category in its software shows they are preparing for a new design. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Galaxy S26 series is already getting attention before its official launch. Samsung has opened pre-reservations for ₹999 ahead of its February 25 Unpacked event. The company says this will help users lock in current trade-in values and get special benefits. Still, many people are unsure about upgrading.

The reason behind this uncertainty for the pre-reservation is the low trade-in value of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone launched in January 2025 at a starting price of ₹1,41,999. But now, some users say they are getting exchange offers of around ₹52,130 for the 512GB model. Many feel this price drop is too big in such a short time.

Users believe a premium phone should keep its value for longer. When the resale value falls quickly, it makes people think twice about buying the next model. Some customers are now questioning whether upgrading every year is really worth it.

Source – DUXDUCIS

One user shared that he sold his older Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for ₹44,000. He feels the difference between the resale value of the S23 Ultra and the newer S25 Ultra is not very big. Because of this, he does not see a strong reason to upgrade again so soon.

Some people say selling the phone privately can give better returns. A few users claim they can get up to ₹80,000 if the phone is in good condition. However, personally selling a phone to someone takes time and effort, and not everyone wants to handle that process.

For now, many users feel the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still powerful and works very well. Instead of rushing to buy the Galaxy S26 series, some may choose to keep their current phone longer.

Samsung is preparing to launch two new Galaxy A series smartphones, the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57. We have already seen renders, leaks, and rumors about these devices. Now, more details about these phones have appeared online.

The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 phones have surfaced on the Google Play Console list of supported devices. This shows that Samsung is testing them and that the launch is near.

The Galaxy A37 has the code “a37x,” and the Galaxy A57 has the code “a57x”. Several model numbers have also been listed. The Galaxy A37 has SM-A3760, SM-A376B, SM-A376E, SM-A376U, SM-A376U1, and SM-A376W, while the A57 has SM-A5760, SM-A576B, SM-A576Q, SM-A576U1, SM-A576W, and SM-A576Z. These models show the global launch of these phones, along with the US.

Credits – Android Headlines

With all these listings and leaks, Samsung seems close to officially launching the Galaxy A37 and A57. Fans of Samsung’s Galaxy A series can look forward to new options with updated designs and performance.

Recently leaked renders show that Samsung is experimenting with Key Island. The Galaxy A57 will have the Key Island like other Galaxy models, while the Galaxy A37 will use a slightly different design with a single-frame bump.

Early reports also suggest that both phones will come with a 5,000mAh battery and support 45W fast charging. Samsung may include new 50-megapixel cameras, with sensors supplied by both Sony and Samsung. More details are expected as the launch approaches. Stay tuned.

Samsung has unveiled the new Galaxy A07 5G, bringing smart features and reliable performance to more people. This latest phone in the Galaxy A series makes everyday tasks easier and helps users stay connected with powerful tools and a long-lasting battery.

The Galaxy A07 5G has a 6.7-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and visuals. High Brightness Mode adjusts automatically for clear viewing even in bright sunlight. It offers a large 6,000mAh battery, 120% larger than the previous model, enabling longer video playback and uninterrupted use.

Photography is easy with this new phone as it comes with a 50MP wide and 2MP depth rear camera setup, and an 8MP front camera for clear selfies. It is built to last with IP54 dust and water resistance and a strong back panel made of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer to reduce cracks.

The Galaxy A07 5G comes with AI features like Google Gemini and Circle to Search. By pressing the side button, users can activate Gemini to handle tasks quickly and easily across Galaxy apps and some third-party apps. Gemini Live can answer questions and provide useful insights, while Circle to Search lets users explore anything on their screen, including images, music, or text.

Samsung also offers long-term support with up to six OS upgrades and six years of security updates. Samsung Knox Vault adds extra safety with Theft Protection and Auto Blocker features.

The Galaxy A07 5G will be available in select regions starting January 30. It comes in three colors – Black, Light Violet, and Light Green. With its smart features, strong battery, clear display, and durable design, the Galaxy A07 5G is a practical choice for users who want a reliable and easy-to-use smartphone.

Samsung is getting ready to launch new foldable phones this year. Along with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the company is also working on another Galaxy Z Fold model. New inforamation show that Samsung has already started software development work on this new Fold.

The first software build for this new Fold has been spotted. The firmware version is F971USQU0AZB1. This confirms that Samsung has started working on the phone’s software. The device is expected to run Android 17 with One UI 9 right out of the box.

The new Fold is internally codenamed “H8.” According to rumors, it may come with a wider design, similar to what Apple is expected to introduce with its first foldable iPhone. Although full specifications are not available yet, the device is expected to share many features with the Galaxy Z Fold 8.

This second Fold device is believed to be a slightly more affordable option. Reports also say that Samsung plans to launch this device globally.

In addition, the first One UI 9 firmware has been seen for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8. This suggests that Samsung’s upcoming foldable phones will be the first to feature the new software. Along with them, the major One UI update development has also begun for last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7.

One UI 9 will be Samsung’s next major software update based on Android 17. The new foldable phones will likely launch with it pre-installed. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Display has introduced its new Penta Tandem OLED technology. It is designed to make screens brighter and last longer than before.

The word “Penta” means five. This technology uses five layers of light-emitting material inside the screen. Before, Samsung used four layers. By adding a fifth layer, the screen spreads out the energy better. This reduces wear on the screen and makes it last longer. Samsung says this new structure doubles the expected lifespan of its panels.

Penta Tandem OLED is especially useful for high-resolution monitors and TVs, where each pixel is smaller and needs to shine brightly. Samsung’s 27-inch 4K monitors with this technology reach 1,300 nits of brightness, while TVs can hit 4,500 nits under certain conditions.

Samsung’s new panels have also earned recognition. Their 31.5-inch UHD monitor is the only one of its size to meet the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 standard. This certification shows the screen can produce very deep blacks while keeping brightness high.

Penta Tandem OLED first appeared in gaming monitors, but now Samsung is using it in more products. This includes 34-inch ultrawide monitors, a 49-inch Dual QHD monitor, and high-end TVs introduced since 2025.

Ahead of the One UI 8.5 stable release, Samsung has started developing One UI 9 based on Android 17. It will arrive on the upcoming Galaxy foldables later this year. In addition to new devices, Samsung has also begun preparing the One UI 9 update for the latest Galaxy foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Just recently, a first testing build of One UI 9 has been spotted via @Alfaturk for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The build number is F966USQU8CZB3, and it shows that Samsung has started testing this update for the US version of the phone. Currently, the device is running One UI 8 and is not part of the One UI 8.5 Beta program.

Before One UI 9, Samsung will release the stable One UI 8.5 update. The company plans to roll it out first with the Galaxy S26 series on 25 February 2025. After that, other Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, will receive the update.

Even though Samsung is already preparing One UI 9, the company has not officially announced any details yet. The update is likely to come first to new foldable phones. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 phones might be part of the One UI 9 Beta program before the stable release.

So far, there is no exact timeline for when One UI 9 will be available for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but testing has clearly started. Users who own the device can expect the new features and improvements that One UI 9 will bring. Stay tuned for more information.

Along with the launch of the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung is now focusing on its next foldable phones – the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8. These new foldable series usually come with a new version of One UI software. Now, a new report suggests that Samsung has started One UI 9 development for the upcoming Galaxy Z series phones.

A reliable tipster, @Tarunvats, has spotted the first software build for the Galaxy Z Flip 8 on a testing server. The build version, F776USQU0AZB1, suggests that early firmware preparation is underway. This indicates that Samsung is actively working on One UI 9 for its next-generation foldables.

Samsung usually unveils its Galaxy Z series smartphones in the middle of the year, and they usually ship with the new version of One UI out of the box. This year, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 are expected to launch with One UI 9 based on Android 17, bringing new features, performance improvements, and enhanced foldable-specific optimizations.

Meanwhile, Samsung is still in the process of finalizing One UI 8.5. The update is currently in the beta testing phase and is expected to roll out in stable form alongside the Galaxy S26 series on February 25, 2026. Following the flagship launch, the update will gradually expand to other eligible Galaxy devices.

Although specific details about One UI 9 remain under wraps, early development shows that Samsung is regularly working on its software. More information about features and improvements is expected to surface in the coming months as the foldable launch approaches. Stay tuned.

Samsung may soon play an important role in a new AI project linked to ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Reports say ByteDance is planning to build its own artificial intelligence chip and is in talks with Samsung to help make it.

According to the information, ByteDance is working on a chip – SeedChip. This chip would be designed for AI inference, which means helping AI systems use what they have learned to give answers, make decisions, or recommend content.

Samsung is reportedly the company that could manufacture the chip and also supply important memory parts. Memory chips are very important for running AI systems smoothly, and they are currently in high demand worldwide.

Reports also say ByteDance hopes to get sample chips by late March. The company may produce at least 100,000 units this year and could later increase production to 350,000 units.

One big reason for this move could be U.S. export restrictions. These rules have made it harder for Chinese companies to buy advanced AI chips from American firms. By building its own chip, ByteDance could rely less on companies like Nvidia.

Other Chinese tech companies, such as Alibaba and Baidu, are already developing their own chips. ByteDance may be trying to keep up with them. The project is also said to be part of a larger $22 billion AI investment plan for 2026, which still includes buying Nvidia chips while its own chip is being developed.

While ByteDance has called these reports “inaccurate,” sources claim the project is real and already in progress. If true, this would be a big step for the company as it looks to grow its AI power.
