Samsung

Founded in 1938, Samsung is the largest chaebol in South Korea. The myriad of companies under its brand are some of the biggest in their respective industries, but Samsung Electronics is the most notable. It makes some of the most popular phones in use today, and its flagship portfolio includes the Galaxy S-series and foldable Z-series devices. It also makes televisions, tablets, computers, headphones, and many of the displays, chips, and batteries found in devices from Apple, Sony, and others.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra looks awful familiar in first renders.

Android Headlines and OnLeaks shared renders of the S26 Ultra created from leaks and... this sure is a Galaxy Ultra. The only real change is a camera island for the main three lenses. It should launch in January alongside the S26 Pro and S26 Edge — no base model this time.

<em>The S26 Ultra looks a lot like the S25 Ultra.</em>
<em>The tweaked camera module is the only big change we can see.</em>
<em>And from this angle, even that is hard to spot.</em>

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Pro might get a little more screen real estate.

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.

First thin, then wide.

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.

Leaked animation shows how Samsung’s trifold phone will close.

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.

Samsung: ‘we have mentioned AI 91 times today.’

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

Matter gets its moment at the Samsung press conference.

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.”

“Samsung AI Home is not a promise. It’s here.”

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.

‘The World’s First 37-Inch Monitor Shows How 5 Inches Can Change Everyday Life’.

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!

Huawei tris again.

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.

Samsung is redesigning its mobile gaming hub.

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.

Samsung’s gigantic 115-inch Mini LED TV costs $26,999 and has the tiniest feet.

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

I’m not usually like this, but I can’t stop staring at its feet. I suppose wall mounting is encouraged.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

$32,000 and no Dolby Vision? How come, Samsung?

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.

Ahurazo:

Hysterically funny that they’re selling a 32 thousand dollar television that still doesn’t support dolby vision.
