Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked is a week away, and that’s when we expect the Samsung Galaxy S25 series to get announced. But that hasn’t stopped all the leaks from coming out, and here’s another interesting tidbit about the refined camera design, as well as a quick peek at what One UI 7 holds.
Evan Blass, a leaker with a reputable track record, showed off some new images of the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus in a newsletter. These images give us the closest and sharpest look of the upcoming phones so far. The images showcase a dark-blue color, which we were expecting, but it also reveals that the color of the body also extends to the camera rings themselves. We haven’t seen this before in any previous leaks, and it’s a really nice touch.
There is also an image of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, showing off more-rounded corners, the colored camera rings, and the S Pen. We can also see what appears to be incredibly thin bezels on the display, which have been a constant in the rumors.
Though the images are more focused on the hardware aspect of the Galaxy S25 series, the more interesting part could be a new feature in One UI 7.
We expect the Galaxy S25 line to launch with Android 15 and One UI 7, but One UI 7 has already been in the beta stages for Galaxy S24 owners. This is a major update for Samsung’s custom Android fork, and one of those new features is the “Now Bar,” which Samsung showed off in its promotional images. But today’s pictures reveal something called the “Now Brief,” which Samsung teased last month. The Now Brief appears to be an AI summary, likely of your notifications and other important alerts.
We won’t have to wait much longer for Samsung to take the curtain off the Galaxy S25 and One UI 7. Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked will be held on January 22.
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.
