Aside from this, Samsung confirmed to launch the Galaxy S26 series with stable One UI 8.5 next year. The Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Processor, 60W wired fast charging, improved camera, new features, and more.
Some reports suggest that Samsung may launch the Galaxy S26 series in February 2026. However, Samsung hasnβt confirmed anything yet. As the new year gets closer, more details about the Galaxy S26 series are likely to be revealed. Stay tuned.
Samsung is preparing to launch three new 5G smartphones, including the Galaxy A07 5G, Galaxy M07 5G, and Galaxy F07 5G, in India. These devices have just appeared on Indiaβs BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) website.
The Galaxy A07 5G is expected to launch either later this month or in January 2026. The BIS listing shows its model number as SM-A076B/DS. The β/DSβ means the phone will support two SIM cards.
Samsung has also created support pages for this phone. This device has appeared on Bluetooth SIG, Geekbench, and Samsungβs test servers, all signs that the launch is close.
The Galaxy M07 5G and F07 5G have also been certified by BIS, with model numbers SM-M076B/DS and SM-E076B/DS. They are listed on Bluetooth SIG but have not appeared on Samsungβs test servers or Geekbench yet. This suggests that these two phones may launch slightly later than the A07 5G.
As for specifications, the Galaxy A07 5G is expected to come with 6GB of RAM, an Adreno 610 GPU, and Android 16. All three devices are likely to come with Samsungβs One UI 8. Later, they should get an update to One UI 8.5, probably around April 2026, after the Galaxy S26 series launches.
These new phones are quite attractive for users who are looking for budget-friendly devices with better features. We can expect more details on pricing, availability, and full specs for these devices soon.

Samsung Semiconductor reached out to us and shared an update on the memory shortage situation. The statement reads:
βRecent reports that Samsungβs DS division has rejected certain customer requests are baseless and not true. We are in close communication with global customers to address industry needs.β
December 1Β
Turns out that everything isnβt fine inside Samsung. A new report sheds light on an internal war, alleging that the Samsung chip team (DS Division) has refused Galaxyβs (MX Division) request, putting Galaxy S26 at risk.
Samsung will launch the Galaxy S26 series early next year, but the MX Division has reportedly failed in securing a long-term deal with the DS Division on memory chip.
Sources citing SEDaily claim that Samsungβs DS Division has recently rejected the MX Divisionβs request for a long-term contract of DRAM for a year or more. The Division is only entertaining contracts on a quarterly basis at its best.
The report also suggests that there were high executive level discussions between the MX and DS divisions. However, the Mobile Team has just managed to secure DRAMs for the fourth quarter of the year, ending on December 31.
DS Division falls under Samsung Elecβs umbrella, but the business is reportedly sidelining DRAM and NAND contracts. The present focus is aimed at securing orders for beneficial products like HBM for AI data centers.
Galaxy S26 series will use DRAMs from Samsung Electronics and Micron. The supply will be split between the two firms, while the exact proportion is currently unknown.
Earlier this year, the price of Samsungβs 12GB LPDDR5X RAM was around $33. The prices have been skyrocketed in the past few months, with the same DRAM now costing around $70.
Seeing a potential spike, MX Division tried to score a long-term deal with DS Division. At this stage, the chip team is prioritizing its growth opportunity, but it has led the mobile business to face a chipflation and profit decline.
Thereβs a simple logic: MX is concerned about increasing DRAM and NAND costs. At the same time, DS isnβt bowing down, even for its sister division, as it aims to secure growth and revenue, benefiting from the memory super cycle.
Samsung is preparing an early launch of the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 in 2026. The company usually reveals its premium A phones either at the end of Q1 or the start of Q2, but the timeline may see a major revision.
According to AbhishekYadav, Samsung could launch the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 in February 2026. This timeline indicates that the company may advance the reveal of these smartphones by around a month next year.
Before these two, Samsung may unveil the Galaxy A07 5G later this month or early next month. It will be the cheapest offering from the brand with 5G connectivity.
The tipster has also shared chip and GPU specs of the upcoming phones.
Galaxy A57 β Exynos 1680 with Xclipse 550 GPU
Galaxy A37 β Exynos 1480 with Xclipse 530 GPU
The two phones will be equipped with Android 16-based One UI 8. It remains to be seen whether the One UI version is bumped to 8.5 at launch. The segment usually shares the same software version as new S devices.
The potential decision to advance the launch seems strategic. It doesnβt align with the usual strategy, as February is considered a month reserved for Galaxy S phones. If new A models arrive in that timeframe, flagships would be affected.
Late night exclusive
Samsung Galaxy A07 5G is expected to launch later this month or in early January 2026. This time, Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy A37 (Exynos 1480) and Galaxy A57 (Exynos 1680) earlier than usual, in February 2026, compared to the typical A3x andβ¦
A recent industry report revealed that Samsung will start Galaxy S26 Ultra production this month. Due to a delay in development and spec revision, the production of Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus has been pushed to early next year.
Samsung is getting ready to launch the Galaxy S26 series next year. Now, new information has surfaced online about the Samsung Galaxy S26, revealing some exciting details about its camera.
According to this new information via @SPYGO19726, Samsung is planning to include a new telephoto camera in the Galaxy S26. This means the company might focus on improving the phoneβs zoom capabilities, which could get a big upgrade.
Samsung is reportedly working on the new 12MP ISOCELL 3LD sensor. This sensor will likely be used for the telephoto zoom camera. Tipsters have said that this sensor could be a 1/1.9-inch 12 MP sensor, which means it will gather more light for clearer images.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The 12MP resolution is a step up from older models, which had 10MP zoom sensors. However, earlier reports suggested that the Galaxy S26 would use the same camera sensors as its predecessors.
While these camera rumors are exciting, we still donβt know everything about the Galaxy S26. The phone is expected to launch sometime in early 2026. As of now, more information about the full camera setup is still under wraps.
Samsung is getting ready to launch its new Galaxy S26 series, which includes Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra models. Along with the phones, Samsung will reportedly offer several accessories, and below you can check a list of them.
According to WinFuture, many of the Galaxy S26 accessories are designed around the phoneβs built-in magnets. These magnets help the phones attach securely to Qi2 wireless charging accessories and mounts. Most cases and covers will include magnets to provide an amazing grip and convenience.
Hereβs a look at the Galaxy S26 accessories reported by WinFuture:
Magnetic Carbon Case (Black) for S26 and S26 Plus
Clear Case Transparent for S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra
Magnetic Clear Case Transparent for all models
Magnetic Rugged Clear Case for all models
Magnetic Silicone Case (Black or Grey) for all models
Dual Magnet Holder Ring for all models
In addition to this, Samsung will also sell anti-reflective screen protectors. While only the Ultra model may get the special anti-reflective Gorilla Armor glass, films will still be available for the other models.
The Dual Magnet Holder Ring is interesting because of the βdualβ name. Itβs unclear if it has two magnets itself or if it counts the phoneβs built-in magnet as the second. No images are available yet, so weβll have to wait for more details.
Aside from this, Samsung is also planning a Magnetic Wireless Battery Pack (model EB-U2500) with 5000 mAh capacity for wireless charging. A new 25-watt wireless charger (model EP-P2900) will also support faster wireless charging.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch at the end of February 2026. With new cases, faster wireless charging, and the S Pen for the Ultra, Samsung aims to make the Galaxy S26 series more powerful and stylish.
Samsungβs upcoming Galaxy Z TriFold is getting a lot of attention as it prepares for launch. The company is about to release its first tri-folding phone in South Korea, with a US release expected soon. But a surprising prototype with four cameras has now been spotted, which sparks new discussions among fans.
The Korean tech giant already announced that the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold will be available on December 12, 2025, in South Korea. As Samsung gets ready to introduce its first tri-folding smartphone, an unexpected twist has appeared.
A prototype of the Galaxy Z TriFold has surfaced in a LinkedIn post shared by Omar Saheb, VP of Marketing and E-commerce at Samsung Electronics MENA, which shows a four-camera setup. This has made people curious about what Samsung tested before finalizing the design.

At first glance, the device looks like the official model, but the camera setup is different. Instead of three rear cameras, the prototype has four. The extra camera, placed at the bottom, is thinner than the other three, which suggests Samsung tried out different camera plans while designing the phone.
The official Galaxy Z TriFold reportedly comes with a strong 200MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, and a 10MP telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom and OIS. The fourth camera seen in the prototype might have been a 50MP sensor with 5x optical zoom.
Itβs normal for companies to try different ideas before deciding on the final design. This four-camera prototype was likely one of the many test versions created during development. Samsung may have chosen the three-camera setup to keep the design simpler.
Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is equipped with advanced touch technology and an ultra-narrow fingerprint solution. Samsung-partner Goodix has now revealed the technological breakthrough behind the tri-fold device.
Goodix announced Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold phone uses its touch screen technology and ultraβnarrow fingerprint solution. The two hardware components are tailor-made for Samsungβs first multi-fold device.
As mentioned in the press release, Goodix supplies industryβleading main & sub touchscreen controller and ultraβnarrow sideβkey capacitive fingerprint solution to Samsung for its Galaxy Z TriFold multi-fold phone.
Touch solution tailor-made for Z TriFold
Goodix says its customized touch solution delivers high driving capability and exceptional resistance to display noise. Itβs backed by Goodixβs proprietary hardware sampling architecture and noiseβsuppression algorithms.
As a result, the phoneβs panel scores a high signalβtoβnoise ratio (SNR) to ensure reliable touch response. A customized algorithm supports different fold states to deliver accurate touch rejection, folded or unfolded.
Ultra-narrow side-key fingerprint sensor
Galaxy Z TriFold is strikingly thin at 3.9mm at its thinnest point. Despite this sleek profile, the device retains a fingerprint sensor on its side key.
To meet the thin body, Goodix developed an ultraβnarrow (1.65mm) sideβkey capacitive fingerprint sensor. The solution incorporates ergonomic design with enhanced security to provide fast, reliable authentication.
Samsungβs first TriFold phone is set to release on December 12. The first sale is about to start in South Korea, while the US release is likely in 2026. The device will sequentially expand to markets as Samsung assesses durability.
Samsungβs next flagship series, the Galaxy S26, is creating buzz as it gets closer to launch. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be a powerful addition to this lineup and has now been spotted on the FCC certification website.
The FCC certification reveals that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is listed under multiple model numbers β SM-S948B/DS, SM-S948B, SM-S948U, and SM-S948U1. The βBβ models are for India and international markets, while the βUβ models are for the US. This shows that the series will launch globally.
Moreover, the listing also shows that the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Earlier reports suggested Samsung might use its own Exynos chip for some Galaxy S26 models, but the Ultra version will have the Snapdragon chip in all markets.

Samsung has not officially confirmed the launch date yet, but the new FCC details hint that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will arrive soon. It will reportedly pack high-end performance, advanced cameras, and next-generation connectivity features for a premium flagship experience. Stay tuned for more information.
Google is testing a new Android feature that could make riding buses and trains easier. Right now, commuters often lower the volume, turn on Do Not Disturb, or change settings manually to avoid distractions.
Android phones can already detect when you are driving. They use motion sensors and Bluetooth to know you are in a car. Driving Mode then silences calls and notifications to help you stay focused.
Now, Google seems ready to do something similar for public transit. The new feature is called βTransiting Mode.β It could automatically adjust your phone settings when it detects you are on a bus or train.
Modes in Android let you set custom sound, notification, and display profiles. Some Modes turn on automatically, like Driving Mode, when certain motions are detected. Transiting Mode will likely work the same way.
Image via Android Authority
In the Android test version, developers found a new option β While Transiting. When this is active, your phone could automatically lower volume, limit notifications, or change display settings like dark mode.
It may also work with Googleβs upcoming Motion Cues feature. Motion Cues is designed to reduce motion sickness while traveling in moving vehicles. Together, these features could make commuting much more comfortable.
Transiting Mode is expected to appear in the Android 16 QPR3 update, possibly next March. Google has not confirmed the release yet, but more details should come when the beta version launches. Stay tuned for more information.
We are in December 2025, and a strange rumor is spreading about smartphones that can surprise many users. Some smartphone companies are reportedly thinking about bringing back the microSD card slot. This comes after years of removing it from most modern phones.
The reason behind this sudden change is rising memory prices. Internal storage has become more expensive because the cost of memory chips is going up fast. This makes higher-storage phones cost a lot more for users.
A well-known tipster, @Jukan05, shared that some smartphone manufacturers are discussing new ideas. They are looking for ways to help users save money on storage by considering expandable storage again with the SD card slot.
If the microSD slot returns, it will give users a cheaper option. Instead of buying a costly phone with large internal storage, people could simply add a microSD card. This makes storage upgrades easy and budget-friendly.

The new information shows that manufacturers are also exploring a SIM and SD combo slot. This means one slot can hold both the SIM card and the microSD card, like older phones. This would not require changing the phoneβs outer design or adding extra openings.
In the past, companies removed microSD slots to make phones slimmer, better performance, more water-resistant, and for other reasons. But now, the sharp rise in memory prices is making them reconsider. Bringing the slot back could help attract users who need more space.
Many people are wondering if this change could happen by 2026. Nothing is confirmed yet, but the idea is gaining attention. For now, it is only a rumor. But it has already created excitement among users who miss previous expandable storage phones. Stay tuned for more information.
Apple impressed with the startling colorways of the iPhone 17 Pro series. Itβs now Samsungβs turn to catch all the attention with the Galaxy S26 Ultra colors. A tipster has just shed light on the potential shades of the upcoming device.
Tipster Anthony revealed the colors that Samsungβs Galaxy S26 Ultra could come in. The flagship phones will be released in the first quarter of next year, and the design has already been revealed in CAD renders and firmware leaks.
Color shades of the upcoming flagships still remain a mysterious topic. If the latest input turns out to be accurate, the S26 Ultra would be available in at least four standard colors, including White, Silver, Black, and Purple.
The leaker has also attached supporting images to show how the flagship would look in different color variants. The Silver would also be Gray as it appears the same, and Samsung could decide the marketing term later.
Coral, which looks similar to Appleβs Cosmic Orange, would be an online exclusive color. It wonβt be available at retail shops and other e-commerce platforms. This information was revealed by a credible Samsung leaker.
Regarding the Black edition, a major shift was rumored in the past. Leaker PhoneArt claimed the Black hue would feature a Black frame. It would replace the Grey/Silver frame on the S25 Ultra, making the bezels look thicker.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be announced sometime in February next year. If the Unpacked is held in late February, the official release and first sale would be pushed to early March, translating to a 4-week delay.
SamsungGalaxy S26, S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are the next Galaxy S series phones. A new leak has revealed some interesting details about Samsungβs upcoming Galaxy S26 series.
According to the latest information, Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus models may only feature the new Exynos 2600 chipset in South Korea. This could be good news for buyers in Samsungβs homeland, but it raises questions for other regions.
Samsung recently launched its Exynos 2600 chipset, which is expected to power some of its flagship Galaxy S26 devices. While the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature Qualcommβs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip globally, it looks like only the South Korean variants of the S26 and S26+ will come with the Exynos 2600.
Source β Samsung YouTube
There are some reasons behind this decision. First, previous Exynos chips werenβt as fast or energy-efficient as Snapdragon processors, which made many customers and mobile carriers prefer Snapdragon. However, Samsung believes that the Exynos 2600 will fix these problems and offer better performance.
The production of the Exynos 2600 is another reason. The chip is made using new 2nm technology, but only about half of the chips are usable right now. This means Samsung canβt produce enough to sell in more regions.
And Samsung has a contract with Qualcomm that requires 75% of its Galaxy S series smartphones to use Snapdragon processors. If Samsung used Exynos 2600 in more than 25% of the Galaxy S26 units, it could violate this agreement.
It seems that only buyers in South Korea will get the Exynos-powered Galaxy S26 and S26+, while other regions will likely see Snapdragon versions of the device. Still, the details are not officially confirmed, so stay tuned for more information.
Samsung has announced its new foldable phone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, and a leaked user manual now reveals even more details about the device. The manual gives an early look at how the phone works, its features, and safety tips.
The leak comes from well-known tipster Evan Blass. He shared the 174-page user manual, which explains the basics of the Galaxy Z TriFold, including its apps, settings, and layout. It also has diagrams showing the phone in folded and unfolded states.
Obviously, the manual contains several important details about the phone. It shows a USB-C port in the unfolded view, which looks like a headphone jack but is not a 3.5mm headphone port. It also explains the phoneβs special features, like Samsung DeX, which lets you use the phone like a small computer, and the multi-window view for using multiple apps at the same time.
Moreover, it also tells us about the camera, which has a user interface similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The manual shows how taking pictures works, whether the phone is folded or unfolded.
There are also safety warnings in the manual. Samsung advises that people with medical implants avoid keeping the phone near their chest due to the magnets inside. It also warns against blocking the air vent holes, as this can cause unwanted noises during calls or media playback.
The leaked manual gives a detailed look at Samsungβs newest foldable device. Even though the Galaxy Z TriFold will not be available until December 12, 2025, in Korea, and early 2026 in the US, the manual shows what users can expect. You can check the full manual here.
Samsung is currently working to launch the next Galaxy S series, Galaxy S26 series, in 2026. The company is reportedly preparing a major upgrade for its wireless charging technology with the upcoming Galaxy S26 series.
For years, Samsung has supported wireless charging, but it never fully adopted the newer Qi2 magnetic standard. Now, new information suggests that this is finally about to change. The upcoming Galaxy S26 phones are expected to include built-in magnets.
According to the latest information via WinFuture, Samsung is working on a new Qi2 wireless charging dock with support for 25W charging. The product appears under the model number EP-P2900, though no pictures have been revealed yet.
This charger would be Samsungβs first official 25W Qi2 accessory. It hints that the Galaxy S26 series will support stronger magnetic alignment, which is required for the newer Qi2.2 25W speeds.
Source β Samsung
Until now, Samsung has used a halfway approach. Instead of putting magnets inside the phones, Samsung released βQi2 Readyβ cases that added magnets externally. Because the phones lacked built-in magnetic alignment, Samsungβs Qi2 chargers were limited to 15W, which was the maximum allowed by the older Qi2 version.
Rumors say Samsung may offer different Qi2 charging speeds across the S26 lineup. The Galaxy S26 Ultra might support the full 25W, while the Galaxy S26 and S26+ could be limited to around 20W.
If all these reports are accurate, the Galaxy S26 series will bring a more modern and dependable wireless charging experience. Stay tuned for more information.
The thinnest Galaxy Fold ever is set to be revealed during next month's Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, but you can catch early Galaxy Z Fold 7 details right now.
Sony's WH-1000XM6 deliver everything I wanted in a pair of headphones. A rich soundstage, excellent design, long battery life, and dual Bluetooth connectivity.
