The device in the video comes in a new white color with gold accents and seems to be in the same size category as its predecessor.

A couple of months ago, a Korean media report claimed that Samsung's first XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan, would launch on September 29. Now, another report coming out of South Korea has claimed that Project Moohan will launch on September 29. The source claims that Project Moohan will be launched at a Galaxy Unpacked event on September 29, with South Korea being the first country where it will be available for purchase. Sales will begin on October 13 in South Korea, and availability will gradually expand to other markets later. Project Moohan The report claims that Project...
A few years ago the running joke was that Google would eventually add a separate messaging service into all of its apps, regardless of how little sense it made. The search giant has thankfully given up on that idea, but Spotify is here to make it live on, in a way. The streaming giant just announced Messages, which - you guessed it - is a messaging service built right into Spotify. Why? Well, according to Spotify, users have told it that "they want a dedicated space within the app to share songs, podcasts, or audiobooks they're excited about with friends and family, and an easy way to keep...

Google has introduced new requirements for app developers, aimed to make sideloading apps on Android devices safer. Beginning September 2026, app developers distributing apps outside the Play Store will be required to complete Google’s new developer verification process to continue. Notably, an early access program will open to developers in October, ahead of a wider rollout in March 2026 before the requirements kick off. App developers who publish apps outside the Play Store will use a new Android Developer Console to verify their identity. Google says the new requirements...
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra may have a huge camera island, according to the latest rumor from a few hours ago, but unfortunately the same cannot be said about its battery. While there have been a few rumors hoping for at least a 10% increase in capacity from the S25 Ultra's 5,000 mAh to 5,500 mAh, other rumors shot down the idea and they were apparently right. According to a new certification by China's Quality Certification Center, the S26 Ultra's battery has a rated capacity of 4,855 mAh. That's identical to the S25 Ultra's battery, which features an advertised typical...
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE simply can't stop leaking. After a retailer listing from Europe yesterday, today we're treated to its purported pricing in the US. Again, this comes courtesy of some premature listings. They show the phone priced at $649.99 with 128GB of storage, and $709.99 with 256GB. Both of these variants have 8GB of RAM, and it seems like the US at least won't be getting the S25 FE with 512GB of storage. The device is shown in four color options: Jet Black, Navy, Ice Blue, and Titanium. The prices are in line with what the Galaxy S24 FE went for when it launched, so...

Yesterday a rumor (in Chinese) claimed the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max would get reverse wireless charging support, in a first for any Apple smartphone ever. Don't take out the champagne just yet, though. Google just launched the Pixel 10 family with Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets - this is essentially the same tech that Apple uses under the MagSafe brand, since Apple practically open-sourced it a few years back in a bid to get it to be the industry standard, which it now is. So, it's the same thing but under a different name, and yet Google had to leave out...
