    Samsung Restarts Android 15 One UI 7 Update For Galaxy Phones


    Samsung encountered several bumps while launching its eagerly awaited One UI 7 update. After facing numerous delays, the company commenced the rollout for select flagship models but paused it abruptly due to unspecified issues. Fortunately, the update is now back underway.

    According to updates tracker Tarun Vats, the stable One UI 7 update is now being delivered to Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S24 users in various regions throughout Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

    Digital Trends has noticed a surge of activity on Reddit and the Samsung Community, where users are sharing their experiences of finally receiving the One UI 7 update on their Galaxy S24 series phones and the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

  • Samsung Uses AI To Predict Appliance Breakdowns But There’s A Catch

    Samsung Uses AI To Predict Appliance Breakdowns But There’s A Catch

    Samsung is integrating artificial intelligence across a variety of its products, including home appliances. Earlier, we shared updates about AI technology in Samsung washing machines and the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra. Now, the tech giant is leveraging AI to keep an eye on your appliances and forewarn if they might fail.

    This new feature, known as AI Pre-Care Notification, is part of the AI Subscription Club that Samsung introduced in 2024. The system employs AI to continuously evaluate the condition and usage of your appliances, monitoring factors like consumables, to identify potential issues before they escalate.

    For instance, according to an example highlighted by Samsung, if your air conditioner’s refrigerant levels drop below the expected range or if a refrigerator’s temperature is atypically low, the AI will offer a diagnosis and insights into what might be occurring. To use this service, appliances need to be connected to the SmartThings platform, after which a customer service representative will reach out to you via phone.

    Additionally, this system allows you to schedule on-site repairs to address problems proactively, thus preventing significant breakdowns. The AI Pre-Care Notification is compatible with various appliances such as air conditioners, air dressers, dishwashers, dryers, induction cooktops, kimchi refrigerators, microwaves/ovens, refrigerators, robot vacuum cleaners, and washing machines.

    This innovative use of AI could be beneficial to avoid appliance failures that might lead to more extensive and costly damage, emphasizing the importance of preventative maintenance. Samsung underscores that early diagnosis allows you to resolve air conditioning issues before the busy summer season, when demand for service technicians often rises.

    However, there’s a caveat: access to this feature is limited to members of the AI Subscription Club, which is currently available only in South Korea. The AI Subscription Club allows users to rent AI-enabled appliances that come with maintenance included, making this new Pre-Care Notification feature a convenient addition aimed at enhancing user experience.

    Interestingly, the AI Subscription Club also offers the opportunity to rent Ballie, Samsung’s home robot, which is set for a wider rollout in late 2025. This raises the possibility that Samsung may broaden the offerings of its AI Subscription Club in the near future.

  • Samsung Launches Good Lock Customization App for Galaxy Users

    Samsung Launches Good Lock Customization App for Galaxy Users

    Back in January, Samsung announced that its Good Lock customization application would soon be available to all users, and that moment has finally arrived. The Good Lock app is being launched globally today, so check your Play Store for availability. If it’s not accessible to you just yet, it should be soon. Reports from various countries indicate that users can now download the app.

    The application’s Play Store listing has also seen updates. Previously marked with an “early access” tag since 2024, that banner has now been removed, and the app has a refreshed look. One thing to note, however, is that it is generally only available for users operating on the latest versions of Samsung’s software, specifically One UI 7 or One UI 6.1. This news comes as a breath of fresh air, especially following the recent pause of the One UI 7 rollout.

    The Play Store currently lists only the Galaxy S25 series as compatible, but the team at 9to5Google successfully installed the app on a Galaxy S24 Ultra. They reported difficulties installing it on a Galaxy Z Fold 6, however.

    This news is certainly a pleasant surprise, although hints had been dropped by Samsung Newsroom in recent days about the potential of Good Lock when used with One UI 7. If you’ve been considering ways to personalize your home screen, this is your perfect opportunity to get creative.

    For those unfamiliar with Good Lock, it enables extensive customization of your Galaxy device. You can transform the appearance of your home screen in remarkable ways, tailoring it to suit your personal preferences. The app allows you to install individual modules, rearrange them, and more.

    If you’re unable to install it, make sure your device is updated and that you’re using one of the compatible models.

  • One UI 8 And Android 16 Leak Highlights Samsung’s Optimization Focus

    One UI 8 And Android 16 Leak Highlights Samsung’s Optimization Focus

    Samsung is actively rolling out its substantial One UI 7 update to a wider range of devices. Concurrently, the company is also hard at work on the development of One UI 8, which will be based on the upcoming Android 16 release. Today brings new insights about the update, and the news is promising.

    SmartPrix recently shared a collection of images that supposedly showcase an initial version of One UI 8, referred to as an “alpha” version. These images indicate that One UI 8 will mainly focus on improving optimization rather than introducing numerous new features, a logical direction following the extensive changes brought by the One UI 7 update, which is built atop Android 15.

    In One UI 8, SmartPrix has identified two notable updates that may be included when it launches. First, the File Manager is expected to feature a “more appealing and organized layout.” Additionally, the Gallery will likely see “subtle enhancements.”

    Moreover, Samsung plans to extend its Now Brief feature with One UI 8, making it available on a broader array of devices beyond just the Galaxy S25 series. Now Brief serves as a personalized content aggregator, delivering updates that are pertinent to your daily life by taking your schedule and activities into account.

    Since the launch of One UI 7 on Galaxy S25 devices, users have encountered several issues, the latest of which has led to a temporary halt in the update’s rollout. One UI 7 introduced significant shifts, including separate panels for notifications and quick settings, reminiscent of iOS design. The app drawer now scrolls vertically, and the home screen has received a visual revamp with new icons and streamlined widgets. Notably, the “Now Bar” provides real-time updates from select apps directly on the lock screen.

    The update further enhances the capabilities of Galaxy AI, introducing features like Writing Assist, Drawing Assist, and Call Transcripts. Other enhancements include Auto Highlight Clipping for streamlined video editing, improved health management tools, and optimized multitasking features for Samsung devices.

    As for Android 16, Google is anticipated to announce its first official version at Google I/O 2025 next month. It is also expected that One UI 8 could be unveiled alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, potentially this coming summer.

  • Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Nears Launch Amidst Upcoming Threat

    Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Nears Launch Amidst Upcoming Threat

    The story surrounding Samsung’s sleek Galaxy S25 Edge has taken several intriguing turns, some of which aren’t particularly favorable. Let’s start with some positive news: it’s been reported that internal management challenges at Samsung may have pushed the phone’s official launch to the May-June timeframe.

    However, it seems the company has now set a release date that’s sooner than many anticipated. A trusted source (via SamMobile) has claimed that the official announcement of the Galaxy S25 Edge will be made on May 13. Earlier, there were expectations for a launch in mid-April before the company underwent some leadership changes.

    As far as the announcement is concerned, it appears it will be an online-only event, foregoing a traditional launch spectacle. The significant question remains whether the device will hit shelves in the same month or the following one, and what its price might be in light of recent geopolitical developments.

    The Galaxy S25 Edge is anticipated to feature a 6.7-inch OLED display, powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Allegedly, its casing will be crafted from titanium, with a thickness reportedly under six millimeters.

    Furthermore, the phone is expected to boast a groundbreaking 200-megapixel primary camera, complemented by a 12MP ultrawide lens. Unfortunately, given its slim profile, the battery size may be even smaller than that of the standard Galaxy S25.

    Pricing Concerns

    A more pressing concern lies in the pricing landscape. Most industry insiders have forecast that the price will be positioned between the Galaxy S25+ and its Ultra variant, likely exceeding a thousand dollars.

    The industry has recently been shaken by President Trump’s announcement of new tariffs that affect global manufacturing hubs crucial to companies like Samsung and Apple, including Vietnam, China, and India. Experts predict that these tariffs will likely result in price increases for the devices.

    As stated by CounterPoint Research, “Apple, Samsung, Google and others rely on intricate global supply chains. Transitioning manufacturing back to the U.S. isn’t a quick fix without significant government support and readily available skilled labor, and even then, costs will ascend steeply due to lost economies of scale.”

    The repercussions of this situation won’t be uniform across the board, as different brands will feel the effects varying degrees. For Samsung, more than half of its smartphones are assembled in Vietnam, which is facing a staggering 46% tariff, according to Korea’s Chosun News.

    Experts agree that, as a result of the tariff fallout, both Samsung and Apple will be compelled to raise prices for their smartphones in the U.S. It will be interesting to see how Samsung navigates these tariffs amid rising production costs in its supply chains.

    Returning to the Galaxy S25 Edge, it was already anticipated to be a high-priced device. With the recent tariffs impacting almost all of Samsung’s manufacturing locations, it raises the question: will Samsung absorb the heightened manufacturing costs or pass them on to consumers?

    There’s a possibility that Samsung might introduce a promotional pricing strategy initially to encourage sales, only to raise the price later on.

  • Next Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 Might Charge via Phone Docking

    Next Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 Might Charge via Phone Docking

    The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 might introduce an innovative charging solution that eliminates the need for a traditional charger.

    This groundbreaking technology would enable the ring to be charged directly from a Samsung smartphone, meaning it wouldn’t require a separate docking station. You could conveniently recharge it using your phone, no matter where you are.

    This concept, while exciting, remains at a conceptual stage, mainly drawn from a recent patent filing.

    However, these patents represent the early stages of potential advancements, and Samsung has officially filed this innovative design, which can be viewed on WIPO.

    Samsung Galaxy Ring patent
    WIPO / WIPO

    The patent illustration indicates that the ring could dock onto the back of the phone.

    It seems there is a connector point inside the ring that allows charging from the smartphone when it is attached.

    Additionally, it appears that once the ring is connected, it will not only charge, but also sync with the phone to automatically transfer tracking data.

    There is a suggestion of an outer ring on the phone where the Galaxy Ring would dock, though the design does not show if this component will protrude from the phone’s surface. It’s likely Samsung aims for a smooth aesthetic that adheres to its current design standards.

    While this concept is still in the patent phase, it’s noteworthy that Samsung has previously harnessed its phones to charge external accessories, such as the S Pen. The company has also been at the forefront of wireless charging technology, facilitating phone-to-device charging for items like earbuds.

    Initially, the Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 was anticipated to be unveiled at the Unpacked 2025 event in January, but the announcement did not occur. This delay could mean that more impressive features, such as the phone-based charging, are in store.

  • Samsung’s Foldable Phone Plans Are More Ambitious Than Expected

    Samsung’s Foldable Phone Plans Are More Ambitious Than Expected

    Samsung has been at the forefront of foldable smartphones, and with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 nearing its launch, exciting new possibilities have surfaced. A recent patent reveals that Samsung’s ambitions for foldable devices may extend further than what was previously imagined. According to a report from SamMobile, the company is exploring the concept of a display that can fold not twice, not thrice, but four times, using three separate hinges. This innovative design could potentially allow the device to unfold into a substantial screen size, comparable to many tablet models.

    While it’s important to remember that a patent doesn’t guarantee that a product will hit the market, the sketches included provide a glimpse of what such a device could entail. Initial assessments suggest it may be somewhat bulky. The largest hinge, positioned centrally, facilitates the folding of the outer sections inward two times—first onto themselves and then onto the inner panels. This results in a device similar to the current layout of smartphones but several times thicker.

    Another diagram illustrates the potential final version of the device. While size may be an issue in the design sketches, it’s clear that this device would likely be thicker than any of Samsung’s current smartphones.


    Image used with permission by copyright holder

    It remains unclear how the configuration of the screen would function. When fully opened, the display appears to operate like a tablet, but if the device is only half-folded, would there also be usable internal screens? The complexity of additional displays and the engineering required raises questions about the anticipated price tag, but it is likely to be a high-end device.

    All of this remains hypothetical at this point. Samsung has not released any official comments on whether such a device exists or if they plan to develop one, but the patent hints at exciting potential in the ongoing evolution of foldable technology.

    If Samsung does launch a device like this, it could be among the first of its kind in the market. If executed correctly, it has the potential to redefine the tablet landscape, offering innovative ways for multitasking with different apps displayed on various sections of the screen, as well as a superior platform for media consumption.

  • Samsung G Fold May Not Launch Worldwide

    Samsung G Fold May Not Launch Worldwide

    The highly anticipated Samsung tri-fold phone, which some refer to as the Samsung G Fold, is finally nearing its launch date. This innovative device is expected to rival the Huawei Mate XT and is rumored to debut in July. However, recent information indicates that it may initially be available only in China and South Korea.

    Smartprix recently uncovered two model numbers in the GSMA database. The first model number, SM-F968N, appears to indicate a listing focused on South Korea, as the “N” designates products intended for that market. The second model, SM-F9680, with the “0” marking its availability in China. Notably, both models are associated with the internal identifier Q7M, which aligns with earlier reports about the tri-fold device.

    As of now, no other model numbers have surfaced, pointing to Samsung’s limited initial release strategy, which may focus solely on these two regions. While there’s speculation that the device could reach a wider global audience later in the year, ongoing trade tensions and uncertainty may cause Samsung to adopt a more measured approach to its rollout.

    It’s worth noting that the absence of listings for European and Australian markets raises questions about Samsung’s strategy. Considering the company showcased its multi-fold device during the January Galaxy Unpacked event, it seems unusual to restrict its initial release so severely.

    Details surrounding the Samsung G Fold’s specifications remain scarce, but reports indicate that the company aims to produce around 200,000 units. Expected features include a remarkable 200MP primary camera, along with a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto lens, as well as a 10MP front camera. Moreover, the device is anticipated to carry a price tag exceeding $2,000.

  • Wait Longer For Samsung’s Slim Galaxy S25 Edge

    Wait Longer For Samsung’s Slim Galaxy S25 Edge

    The recent leadership shifts at Samsung have reportedly postponed the release of its highly anticipated super-slim smartphone. Initially, the Galaxy S25 Edge was slated for a launch around mid-April; however, this timeline has now been delayed by several weeks.

    A report from Korea’s ET News indicates that the launch event has been rescheduled to sometime between May and June. According to the article, this information has also been communicated to the three major mobile carriers set to offer the Galaxy S25 Edge.

    An insider mentioned in the report suggests that, because of the delayed launch, the device’s availability for purchase may take even longer. Importantly, it was clarified that the postponement is not due to any quality issues with the smartphone.

    In related news, Google announced a delay in the release of its budget-friendly Pixel 9a smartphone due to performance issues with its components. According to DigiTimes, the company had to revise nearly 500,000 units to address undisclosed concerns.

    What to Expect?

    The Galaxy S25 Edge is anticipated to feature a durable titanium construction, powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. With an impressively slim design measuring just 5.8mm, it is expected to showcase a 6.7-inch OLED display, supported by a compact 3,786 mAh battery.

    Leaks suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge will incorporate a larger vapor chamber cooling system than its counterpart, the Galaxy S25. Despite its slim profile, it may impress consumers with a powerful 200-megapixel primary camera alongside a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens.

    As for pricing, recent reports from South Korea indicate a cost of approximately KRW 1.5 million, translating to roughly $1,020. This would position the S25 Edge between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the high-end Ultra model.

  • Samsung’s New AI Cordless Vacuum Outperforms Dyson

    Samsung’s New AI Cordless Vacuum Outperforms Dyson

    Samsung has been actively expanding its lineup of smart home products and digital appliances in recent weeks. Following recent launches in refrigeration and laundry solutions, the company has now turned its attention to vacuum cleaners. While Samsung may not have as extensive a history in the vacuum market as brands like Dyson, it has just unveiled a product it asserts is the “most powerful cordless stick vacuum cleaner in the world.”

    The new cordless vacuum was introduced at Samsung’s Welcome to Bespoke AI global event held in Frankfurt, Germany, earlier this March, and we had the opportunity to see it firsthand. Building on its predecessor, the Bespoke AI Jet cordless vacuum, the newly launched Bespoke AI Jet Ultra boasts an impressive suction power of up to 400W, thereby earning its title of the world’s most powerful cleaner. For comparison, Dyson’s Gen5 Detect offers 280W of suction power.

    What else does the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra offer?

    In addition to its powerful suction capabilities, attributed to Samsung’s advanced HexaJet Motor with a specially designed Hexagon stator structure for improved airflow, the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra features AI Cleaning Mode 2.0 and an enhanced HEPA filtration system. Samsung claims that this vacuum can operate for up to 100 minutes on a single charge, exceeding the 70-minute runtime of Dyson’s Gen5 Detect by a notable 30 minutes.

    The AI Cleaning Mode 2.0 intelligently detects the brush load and vacuum air pressure to categorize six different cleaning environments, such as carpets versus hard floors. Once identified, Samsung’s AI Optimum Tech automatically modifies the cleaning performance by changing suction power and brush speed accordingly. This feature is designed to help conserve battery life by reducing power usage by 21 percent compared to standard settings.

    In terms of filtration, the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra incorporates a multi-layered filtration system with built-in HEPA filters. It is engineered to efficiently capture fine dust particles, boasting a filtration efficiency of 99.999 percent for particles as small as 0.3µm.

    While Samsung has not released pricing details for the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra, given its high-performance aspirations and positioning against premium models like the Dyson Gen5 Detect, it is likely to come with a premium price tag.

  • Samsung’s New Smart Appliances Enhance Home Life

    Another standout product is the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra Cordless Stick Vacuum. Featuring Samsung’s powerful HexaJet motor, it boasts an impressive suction power of 400 AW, making it one of the strongest cordless vacuum options available. With a remarkable battery life of up to 100 minutes, it’s perfect for cleaning an entire home.

    This vacuum also includes a handy LCD screen for monitoring and control. The AI Cleaning Mode 2.0 intelligently adjusts suction power and brush speed based on the surface being cleaned.

    A key highlight is the All-in-One Clean Station, which not only charges the vacuum but also empties the dustbin automatically, reducing the need for manual dirt disposal. The Clean Station employs Air Spin Edge Technology to capture debris effectively while ensuring that 99.999% of fine dust particles are trapped, promoting cleaner air throughout your home.

    Additionally, the vacuum features built-in Wi-Fi and SmartThings connectivity, further enhancing user convenience.

    Earlier this year, Samsung also introduced a range of Bespoke products including refrigerators equipped with AI cameras to help monitor food stocks and generate grocery lists, as well as ovens that can recognize food items and suggest optimal cooking settings. Other products in this lineup include Bespoke AI laundry machines, front-load washers, and dryers featuring user-friendly AI home screen displays, along with new kitchen ranges and more.

  • Samsung’s Exciting Budget Foldable Phone Finally Revealed

    Samsung’s Exciting Budget Foldable Phone Finally Revealed


    Samsung is reportedly gearing up to introduce its budget-friendly foldable phone under the “Fan Edition” title later this year. Recent whispers hint at the development of a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, and we might have a first glimpse of its design.

    The team at SammyGuru, along with tipster OnLeaks, have unveiled what they assert are CAD-based renders of the upcoming device, complemented by a video showcasing it from various angles. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE appears set to mimic the design aesthetics of the standard Galaxy Z Flip 6.

    Staying Close to Home

    According to the latest leaks, the entry-level foldable is expected to feature a 3.4-inch cover display and a 6.7-inch inner foldable screen. The FE variant may have a slightly narrower and thicker build compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, measuring 7.4mm instead of 6.9mm.

    Alleged render of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.

    Samsung is expected to utilize an armor aluminum chassis for the device, alongside offering seven years of Android operating system upgrades. The anticipated debut is during the next Unpacked event, which will also likely see the announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and its Flip counterpart, both exhibiting a refined design.

    Samsung's budget-focused foldable might be powered by the Exynos 2400e chip, a slightly toned-down edition of the Exynos 2400. Built on a 4nm process, the major difference lies in the marginally slower Cortex-X4 Prime core.

    This chip has already been successfully used in the Galaxy S24 FE, yielding reliable performance according to our evaluations. For the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7, it seems likely that Samsung will opt for Qualcomm’s premier Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

    The Biggest Mystery

    SammyGuru

    Details on the pricing of the device remain elusive. However, an informed guess suggests it could be priced below $1,000, potentially enabling Samsung to tap into a broader audience of foldable phone enthusiasts.

    Currently, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 carries a price tag of $1,100 in the U.S., while Motorola's Razr 50 starts at approximately $700. Even Motorola's higher-end Ultra model costs $100 less than Samsung's offering.

    Chinese smartphone manufacturers tend to adopt even more aggressive pricing strategies. For instance, the Nubia Flip is priced at a mere $500, and BlackView's clamshell-style foldable phone shares a similar price point. It will be interesting to see how low Samsung can go and whether it can surpass Motorola in terms of pricing.

    The new screens are rumored to measure 4 inches for the exterior display and 6.85 inches for the internal folding display.

    While this may not seem like a significant upgrade from the Flip 6, which boasts a 3.4-inch outer display and a 6.7-inch inner display, the experience could feel more substantial due to slimmer bezels on both screens, allowing for additional display space without increasing the overall size of the phone.

    Although there’s no update on screen brightness, any new screen size enhancements are likely to include improvements in brightness as well, given Samsung’s expertise in display technology. For reference, the transition from the Flip 5 to the Flip 6 resulted in a notable brightness increase, with peak brightness climbing from 1,504 nits to an impressive 1,942 nits.

    Could the Galaxy Z Flip 7 surpass the 2,000 nits threshold?

    Additionally, the leaker mentioned that there may be a protective film for the internal display included with the new model. It’s unclear at this point whether this will be a standard feature or if it can be replaced.

    The formal announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to occur during the usual release window in July or August this year. A price increase is likely if the display size enhancements are indeed confirmed.

    Samsung has introduced an exciting lineup of refrigerators, expanding its home appliance offerings. Among the new models, the 4-Door, 4-Door French Door, and Side-by-Side versions feature a 9-inch AI Home screen, reinforcing the company’s vision of a connected home unveiled during CES 2025.

    This innovative 9-inch AI Home screen equips users with multiple functionalities, enabling control over SmartThings-connected devices, monitoring energy usage through SmartThings Energy, and fostering family communication with the Daily Board feature. Users can also enjoy music streaming via Spotify.

    Selected 4-Door and 4-Door French Door models will include an upgraded AI Vision Inside feature. This built-in camera can identify specific food items when you place them inside or remove them. With the addition of four new items, the fridge can now recognize a total of 37 different foods. Users can even name processed items, which allows for personalized recipe suggestions and meal planning. For example, ask your fridge for recipes using broccoli and lemons, and you’ll receive plenty of ideas—I tested it, and it really worked!

    Samsung’s voice assistant, Bixby, plays a significant role in the functionality of the new refrigerators. It can recognize different family members’ voices and respond accordingly. You can even instruct it to open the fridge door, which will then swing open effortlessly—ideal for those moments when your hands are full after a shopping trip. Additionally, the new fridge range offers an Auto Open Door feature, allowing users to tap a specific area on the door to open it without speaking.

    Aside from its smart features, Samsung’s latest refrigerators also incorporate new Hybrid Cooling technology in certain models, designed to keep food fresher for extended periods while optimizing internal space. This system combines a traditional compressor with a Peltier module to provide extra cooling when the internal temperature rises or the AI anticipates a temperature increase, such as after a typical Sunday grocery run.

    While pricing details for the new fridge lineup have not yet been disclosed, updates will be provided as they become available. The 4-Door Refrigerator will feature the 9-inch AI Home Screen and is designed for a streamlined fit, requiring only 4mm from the sides and 20mm from the top for installation.

    Targeted for the North American market, the 4-Door French Door Refrigerator will be available in several configurations, including a 32-inch Family Hub version alongside the 9-inch AI Home model. The Side-by-Side Refrigerator will also offer various screen options, including a 21.5-inch Family Hub and the 9-inch AI Home.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE Leak Reveals Bad News

    Let’s hope Samsung has other plans with pricing

    Both tablets will be available in Bluetooth-only and 5G versions. Pricing for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE is reported to begin at EUR 579, which translates to around $630 based on current exchange rates. By comparison, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE debuted at $450, while the Plus model was priced at $600.

    The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ features a larger 13-inch display, which is expected to start at EUR 749, approximately $815, with prices potentially reaching $924 for the cellular model. Earlier reports speculated that the larger version could initially be priced around $650.

    Notably, Samsung has replaced the previous pill-shaped camera bump with a single, floating lens design for the rear camera, giving the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series a more refined look reminiscent of the iPad Air, with some exceptions in the antenna lines and aspect ratio.

    Going bigger, not bolder

    In terms of specifications, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE is expected to feature a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 2304 x 1440 pixels. The Plus version will boast a larger 13.1-inch screen with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, aligning more closely with the iPad Air.

    Both models are expected to utilize Samsung's Exynos 1580 chip, an octa-core processor manufactured on a 4nm process. It features a 1+3+4 core configuration, where a high-performance Arm Cortex-A720 core operates at 2.9 GHz for demanding tasks, while three Cortex-A720 cores handle mid-range workloads at 2.6 GHz.

    For lighter tasks, the Exynos 1580 includes four Cortex-A520 cores. Graphics processing will be managed by Samsung’s Xclipse 540 GPU, and the image signal processor (ISP) supports up to 200MP photos and 4K video recording at 60fps. This processor is also found in the new Galaxy A56 mid-range smartphone.

    While the Exynos 1580 provides decent performance, it might not stand up against more powerful rivals like the OnePlus Pad 2, which comes in at $550 and includes a previous-generation Qualcomm flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, paired with 12GB of RAM and an OLED display.

    Additionally, benchmarks suggest the Exynos 1580 may struggle with multitasking, particularly with split-screen operations and multiple apps running simultaneously. Users may notice performance limitations, especially when using DeX mode on a larger display.

    Samsung is expected to provide multiple configurations for the new tablets, with options of 8GB and 12GB of RAM, paired with either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. Notably, both models will feature a microSD card slot, allowing for additional storage expansion.

    In terms of camera capabilities, the rear will host a 13-megapixel sensor, while selfies and video calls will use a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. The smaller tablet will come with an 8,000 mAh battery, while the larger variant will likely be equipped with a 10,090 mAh battery, featuring support for 45W fast charging.

    Samsung May Demand Big Bucks For Galaxy S25 Edge


    Samsung has only offered a sneak peek of its sleek Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, showcasing its engineering prowess. However, for the average consumer, the price tag may be quite steep.

    Reports from Android Headlines indicate that the model featuring 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage could be priced between €1,200 and €1,300, which is approximately $1,300 to $1,400 based on current exchange rates.

    The premium variant, boasting double the storage capacity, is expected to retail for between €1,300 and €1,400 ($1,400 to $1,522). To put this in perspective, the anticipated iPhone 17 Air might launch around $900 later this year.

    A Glimmer of Hope

    It's essential to note that Samsung typically prices its phones more competitively in the U.S. compared to the European market. For example, while the Galaxy S25 starts at €900 in Europe, it retails for $800 in the U.S. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a price tag of €1,470, yet is available in the U.S. starting at $1,300.

    Despite these comparisons, the leaked price points for the Galaxy S25 Edge are closely aligned with those of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is widely regarded as the most feature-rich Android device. Samsung seems to be charging a premium for innovation, amidst rising material costs for this new device.

    The leaks suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge will be positioned between the Galaxy S25+ and the Ultra model, which would set its retail price between approximately $1,000 and $1,300.

    What to Anticipate?

    Latest leaks indicate that the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a titanium chassis, similar to Apple's offerings. Additional color options include Titanium Icyblue, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Silver.

    Among its specifications, the phone is expected to house Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a 6.7-inch OLED display, and a battery capacity of 3,786 mAh, which is less than that of the Galaxy S25.

    On a positive note, it may incorporate an enhanced vapor chamber cooling system compared to the standard Galaxy S25. The dual rear camera setup is anticipated to include a 200-megapixel primary sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The phone is likely to be unveiled later this month, though its availability may be limited.
