The upcoming device, which is rumored to directly replace the Galaxy S25, could come with a 6.3-inch display (up from 6.2 inches), according to a report from Android Headlines. Based on leaked renders, it also looks like a new pill-shaped bump could house the phone’s three cameras.

Samsung earned plaudits for its super-slim Z Fold 7, but it’s not done yet. Korea’s ET News reports it plans two Folds next year, with one squatter and wider, with a square screen inside. No doubt it’s pure coincidence that the foldable iPhone is rumored to be a similar shape.

We’ve seen a few leaked animations of the Galaxy trifold phone in action, but this is the first that shows the full fold and unfold procedure. There’s no real surprises here, but it does confirm that there is a specific order for closing the panels.

Hey, that’s our line! That saves us from counting while we follow Samsung’s IFA keynote, but Google probably still holds our record.

Eve’s Tim Böth is on stage discussing how its smart home devices work with Samsung SmartThings via Matter. “Eve’s smart plugs capture energy efficiency data for SmartThings Energy, the motion sensors provide data to help SmartThings understand your daily routines,” he said. “Our products show how AI can fade into the background.”

So said Samsung EVP Cheolgi Kim, in a not-so-subtle jab at Apple as he wrapped up a 20-minute presentation around how Samsung’s AI Home platform is a layer over all of Samsung’s products. From its watches and phones to its health and sleep tracking features, as well as its Samsung Food and SmartThings smart home platform, AI Home is “designed to make everyday living more convenient, efficient, healthy and safe,” says Kim. I’m still not clear on exactly how any of this will work, though.

Do I smell AI?

Obvious joke aside: if bigger is better, why not 43 inches? Why not 49? Why not 42 or 48? Samsung suggests 37 is best because it’s not much bigger than 32. But if the goal is 32+ while saving space, why not make it taller instead of wider? 16:10 not 16:9!

We’re still waiting for Samsung’s first trifoldable phone — last we heard it’s due “this year” — but Huawei is ready for round two. It’s announced a September 4th launch for the Mate XTs, a follow-up to the impressive Mate XT, and has already teased a major upgrade: stylus support.

It won’t be fully revealed until later this year, but the changes will add things like deeper personalization. It’s also expanding its cloud gaming platform to the UK and Germany in beta.

First announced back at CES, the 115-inch QN90F Neo QLED 4K TV is finally launching for a whopping twenty-seven thousand dollars.

Its new 115-inch Micro RGB TV might cost more than some cars, but don’t think that means Samsung is about to pony up for Dolby’s licensing fees.

Announced at CES earlier this year, Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 gaming monitor is now available in the US for $999.99. It has a 1440p resolution, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a single DisplayPort 1.4 port, and that all-important 500Hz refresh rate. Samsung is also launching the 37- and 40-inch Odyssey G7 4K monitors in the US.

Samsung is fulfilling its promise to upgrade the voice assistant with generative AI, with new features now rolling out to its 2025 TVs in the US.

Yes, we tested Samsung’s latest premium foldable, but we didn’t try to destroy every surface and angle of the phone.

A regulatory filing surfaced Monday morning in Korea showing the underperforming electronics giant won an order to build chips for an unnamed large global tech company in a contract that runs through 2033.
