Samsung’s One UI 8 beta arrives on Galaxy S25 phones

Samsung’s One UI 8 beta arrives on Galaxy S25 phones

Samsung has launched its beta test of One UI 8, the company’s customized take on Android 16. The beta is available now on the Galaxy S25, Plus, and Ultra — though strangely not the new S25 Edge — for users in the US, UK, Germany, and South Korea. Unsurprisingly, Samsung is emphasizing the OS update’s AI features, which purportedly include improved multimodal capabilities and more personalization. Despite that, the company’s announcement and update changelog are light on specific details of AI upgrades beyond speed improvements that make AI Select immediate to use, eliminating the previous start-up delay. One UI 8 has also been “optimized for the unique form factors across the Galaxy product portfolio,” echoing Google’s emphasis on Android 16 improving performance and user experience on tablets and foldables. One such change is a new split-screen option to move one app partially off the screen to the edge while you focus on another, which sounds similar to the multitasking tools on the OnePlus Open. Other changes include updates to the layout of Samsung’s Reminder app …

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge review

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge review

Over the weekend, I watched a documentary on Coco Chanel, and one of the most interesting aspects of her life was her return to the runway in the mid-1950s. At the age of 71—when most people either retire or give up—Chanel made a remarkable comeback. Despite initial skepticism, her return collection reintroduced the now-iconic tweed suit and restored her to the top ranks of haute couture. I felt something similar when I used Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge—a familiar phone that feels progressive, bold, and trailblazing at the same time. The Galaxy S25 Edge is more than just a thin and lightweight phone; it reflects how smartphones may evolve in the future, becoming its own brand ambassador—just as Coco Chanel was to her creations. Here’s my review of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Slim, yes—but the lightness feels like it’s on a whole different level At just 5.8mm thick, the Galaxy S25 Edge is hyped as the thinnest Samsung smartphone ever made.But I have tried to set the marketing hype aside and focus on my actual …

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 to Arrive With Samsung’s First 3nm Chip After Skipping the Galaxy S25 Series: Report

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 to Arrive With Samsung’s First 3nm Chip After Skipping the Galaxy S25 Series: Report

Samsung’s Galaxy Z lineup this year is going to be interesting for a variety of reasons. Slated for a July launch, there’s the bigger, book-style Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 that is tipped to get plenty of hardware upgrades along with a bigger display and a thinner design. Next, we have the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is said to get a smaller share of design updates. Reports also hint at the existence of a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE model, which will be an affordable clamshell much like the Motorola Razr 50. Citing a reliable source, SamMobile states that Samsung’s upcoming clamshell foldable will be powered by an Exynos chipset. This would be none other than the much-rumoured Exynos 2500, which was expected to make its debut with the Samsung Galaxy S25 this year but was held back because of poor yield. Previous repots hinted at this change, but a recent one also pointed out that the Exynos 2500 would not make it to the expected Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE model. The source …

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series May Gain Galaxy S25 Edge’s LOG Video Recording for Front Camera

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series May Gain Galaxy S25 Edge’s LOG Video Recording for Front Camera

Samsung is said to be in the process of bringing a camera feature, which it debuted with the new Galaxy S25 Edge, to the entire flagship Galaxy S25 lineup. According to a tipster, it may enable support for capturing LOG (logarithmic footage) videos via the front-facing selfie camera across the entire series. It enables users to record a wider dynamic range where the luminance of very dark as well as extremely bright areas is captured by the camera sensor for enhanced details. LOG Video Recording on Samsung Galaxy S25 Series In a post on X (formerly Twitter), tipster IposDev shared details about the possibility of Samsung bringing LOG video recording to the front cameras of the entire Galaxy S25 series. Accompanying screenshots indicate a LOG option which appears in the top banner alongside the existing HDR option in the camera UI. Users may be able to shoot in the LOG format at Ultra HD (or 4K) resolution and at 60fps, as per the leak. It is also said to show a histogram in the UI …

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Arrives on Geekbench; US Model Could Feature Exynos 2400 Chipset

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Arrives on Geekbench; US Model Could Feature Exynos 2400 Chipset

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is expected to debut later this year as the successor to the Galaxy S24 FE that’s currently on sale in India and global markets. The Galaxy S24 FE, like the models before it, was powered by an in-house Samsung-made processor, the Exynos 2400e. This was the slightly watered-down version of the Exynos 2400 chipset which powered the Galaxy S24 (a premium flagship) last year. Unlike the Galaxy S24 series where Samsung used different processors for various markets, the Galaxy S25 series was launched with a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC on all models in the lineup. Now, details of the chipset on the Galaxy S25 FE have surfaced online. A recent Geekbench entry spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav, adds to the contradictory rumours surrounding the purported Samsung Galaxy S25 FE smartphone. The Geekbench listing shows the product name, the score it achieved, and details about its processor, RAM, and software version. The listing contradicts a recent report, which stated that the Galaxy S25 FE could use a Dimensity 9400 …

Samsung’s S25 Edge is a thin phone with two big tradeoffs

Samsung’s S25 Edge is a thin phone with two big tradeoffs

Samsung’s thin phone is here. The Galaxy S25 Edge — first teased back in January — is essentially a slimmed-down S25 Plus, with the same 6.7-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and AI features. The compact design comes at a price though, and you’ll have to do without the telephoto lens or beefy battery. At 163g (about 5.7 ounces), the Edge is just a gram heavier than the regular S25, with its dinky little 6.2-inch screen, and at 5.8mm thick it’s comfortably thinner than any Samsung slab phone in years. It’s still slightly thicker than Samsung’s Tab S10 tablets or Z Fold 6 foldable, which have enough space to get thinner by spreading their batteries out a little more, but if you prefer traditional phone form factors then this is among the thinnest you can buy right now — at least until the rumored iPhone 17 Air comes along. The Edge is certainly thin, but not so much that it’s obvious in isolation. Put next to the 7.3mm Galaxy S25 Plus, the …

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Tipped to Use a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Tipped to Use a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is said to be in the works and is likely to go official in the second half of this year. Until now, rumours indicated that the new Fan Edition smartphone would use the same Exynos 2400e chipset as last year’s Galaxy S24 FE. However, a new leak suggests that the Galaxy S25 FE would bring a significant chipset upgrade over its predecessor. The new FE phone is likely to arrive as a toned-down version of the Galaxy S25. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Might Launch With a MediaTek Chipset NoteBookCheck, citing unnamed sources, reports that Samsung might use the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset in the Galaxy S25 FE. Samsung will reportedly consider the Exynos 2400e as a first choice for the Galaxy S25 FE, but the brand may turn to a MediaTek chipset as a fallback option if Samsung Foundry struggles to meet production demands for the Exynos chips. The final decision is likely to shift depending on market dynamics. MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset appears superior to the Exynos 2400e on paper. The brand …
