The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been unveiled at this year's Samsung Unpacked event along with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Each model comes equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, helping them push innovative boundaries alongside AI. One of those innovations is Now Brief, giving users a quick rundown of the latest news and updates without the need for them to scroll through social media every morning. Another is Samsung's own mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe), which is embedded in the chip to improve image display.
If you have the Samsung Galaxy S25, you also need some accessories to go with it. That means upgrading your smartwatch, earbuds, and a new phone case, among other things. To that end, we've created a list of 10 accessories you need for the new Samsung Galaxy model.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 contains loads of advanced features that will have the Apple Watch running for the hills thanks to Galaxy AI. It accurately tracks your heart rate, barring any movement your body makes, gives you an energy score the minute you wake up, and allows you to compare your current performance stats to ones from the day before so you can challenge yourself on every workout you do. It even records your snoring to detect moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you see those results on your Samsung Galaxy S25, make sure to share them with your doctor. While it's on the expensive side, and has only a one-day battery life, it's easily the best smartwatch to pair with any Samsung smartphone, and worth the investment if Samsung is your thing.
If a watch isn't your thing, but you still want to track your health, consider a smart ring. When it comes to smart rings, the Oura Ring 4 is as functional as it is fashionable. The Smart Sensing sensors embedded beneath the ring helps track over 30 biometrics, including stress levels and heart health, giving you insights on what you can do to calm yourself down and take better care of your heart. For women, it helps keep track of your cycle and the ways they affect every aspect of your health, from your mood to your sleep.
Unfortunately, you need to subscribe to Oura Membership for $6 a month, though you get a month free with your purchase. On the plus side, it makes a nice fashion accessory no matter what color you pick. You can even use it as an engagement ring. Seriously.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are not just for listening to music while out for a run. With Galaxy AI, the earbuds use adaptive active noise cancellation to automatically adjust background noise volume based on your surroundings, helping you stay alert while still listening to your favorite songs or podcasts. In other words, it'll filter out background noise and give you a high-definition audio experience, but the noise cancellation filter shuts off the second someone starts talking to you.
If someone speaks to you in a different language, the buds translates everything they're saying into your preferred language (i.e. Spanish to English, or Japanese to English) in real time, which is really helpful if you're traveling abroad. The coolest part is they light up in the dark, so no more scrabbling around for them when the lights go down, or if you drop them at night.
If you always have a hard time finding your keys before leaving for work in the morning, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 will help you find them in a flash. The item tracker is updated from the original SmartTag to help you find the important things you need a lot easier with the help of the SmartThings Find app.
If you lose something and you tagged it with the SmartTag2, like your luggage at the airport or your bike next to a building, you can turn on Search Nearby and it'll lead you to it with Compass View. However, if that lost item is too far away, turn on Lost Mode and the tag will send whoever finds it your contact information and message via Near Field Communication (NFC). It works much like an Apple AirTag, only it's more hands on.
If the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are out of your budget range, but you still want to pair your Samsung Galaxy S25 with high-quality earbuds, the Raycon Everyday Buds are the best option. The ergonomic shape makes the buds comfortable to leave in your ears for long periods of time without developing fatigue afterwards. They have active noise cancellation, so you can filter out background noise and focus on your tasks. They also carry an IP66 rating, repelling water and dust so you can wear them during high-intensity workouts and in the rain (just don't go swimming with them). With eight hours of playtime and 32 hours of battery life, Raycon Everyday Buds will be your best friend.
When you're out with friends and family and all your phones are running low on batteries, you can count on the Mophie Powerstation XL power bank to fill them right back up. It charges only three devices at once, as it comes with two USB-A ports and a USB-C port, giving room for a variety of devices with different charging ports. The USB-C port delivers 20W of charging power to your phone, while the USB-A ports give a combined 15W to 20W of power. It's not exactly fast, but just make sure your phone has a USB-A to USB-C cable just in case.
Most 3-in-1 wireless chargers are restricted to your bedside. But if you have the Samsung Galaxy S25, the Galaxy Watch 7, and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, you can take this charger from Meifigno beyond the confines of your home. Before you take a trip (for business or pleasure), you can fold the charger to make it fit in your bag like a regular power bank, and when you get to your destination, set it up and charge all your devices when you need to. The only caveat is your phone needs to have a MagSafe case in order to receive any charging from the plate. However, you might try to plug it into the side when folded.
Only available in clear, blue, and purple for the base Samsung Galaxy S25 model, the Spidercase magnetic case will protect your phone with style. It'll protect your phone from drops of up to 12 feet and has rubber bumps that will cushion its fall if you accidentally drop it. And it's shockproof per military standards, so you never have to worry about your new Galaxy S25 shattering to pieces when it hits the ground.
You've got the case for your Samsung Galaxy S25, now all you need is a screen protector. Or should we say, two screen protectors from LK. Each screen protector is made of tempered glass with a hardness level of 9H, keeping your phone safe from drops, scratches, and shocks. They come with an installation tray that helps save time aligning the protector with your screen and a tab that you can pull to swipe off any dust remaining on the screen, provided you cleaned the original screen first.
Fans of Beats headphones will love the Beats Solo 4. You're probably thinking, "Wait a minute, I thought those Beats were iPhone-exclusive headphones." We assure you these Beats headphones are also compatible with Android phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S25. You can plug and play right away with one-touch pairing and experience spatial audio and updated drivers to get the best sound when listening to music or podcasts from your favorite streaming services. You can even cancel out the background noise during a phone call, which makes the headphones a perfect audio accessory for when you're on the go -- and a great fashion accessory no matter what you're wearing.

Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
