The One UI 5 Watch update released by Samsung for the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro in South Korea last week is now rolling for both watches in Europe. It's seeding for their Bluetooth models, but LTE versions should get it soon. The update has firmware version R9xxXXU1BWH3 and requires a download of about 1.7GB for the vanilla model. You can check the screenshots of the changelog below to see what the update brings to last year's Samsung watches.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ tablets soon, and pricing leaked once again. Previous reports suggested an increase in India, and today we learned Europe might also see a price hike. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE with an 11” display and 6/128 GB memory might cost €549.99, while the bigger 12.4” Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ with 8/128 GB memory could be €749.99. The prices might vary across the European Union due to different taxes and tarriffs, but this is the starting point around which retailers will set their own prices. The €550 cost of the smaller Tab S9 FE is...
Google was founded on September 4, 1998 and on September 12 this year, the company is celebrating its birthday with some deals on its European online stores. The landing page for the sale is active in pretty much all European countries. Unfortunately, we don't know which products will be on sale but Google slashed 25% on its whole Pixel 7 lineup, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Buds A-series, Buds Pro, Pixel Watch, Nest Hub 2nd Gen, Chromecast 4K, Nest Wi-Fi router and Nest Cam in Japan last month to celebrate its birthday. So we can expect similar discounts in Europe as well. Perhaps it's a...
Samsung’s pioneering Galaxy Note series was discontinued in 2020 as the company shifted its focus towards with the Galaxy Fold in 2019 and the Galaxy Z Flip in 2020. This may have seemed like a risky move at the time but it paid off – annual sales of Samsung foldables in Europe have now surpassed the old Note series. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and the Galaxy Z Flip5 went on sale in 38 European countries on August 11. Since then, the two have exceeded the early sales of the Galaxy Note series, which also used to come out in August. This isn’t just an early rush - Samsung quotes...
Several key partners just announced plans to build the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH – a joined venture between TSMC, Robert Bosch, Infineon Technologies and NXP Semiconductors. TSMC will hold a 70% stake, the other three will have 10% each. ESMC will begin construction of a fab in the second half of next year and plans to begin mass production of chips in 2027. Before you get too excited, note that this fab will focus on older nodes. The target is to produce 40,000 300mm (12”) wafers per month using TSMC’s 28/22nm planar CMOS process and the 16/12nm FinFET...

vivo just made the V29 official for Europe, and specifically mentioned it's coming to Europe first. Afterwards, it should make its way to Latin America as per the press release, but it's not an exhaustive list so India might get it in the future too. The V29's main claim to fame is its Aura Light function, a light ring 15.6mm in diameter that sits right under the two large camera circles in the same island. This is meant to significantly improve your Portrait Mode shots, creating "a three-dimensional lighting effect" and ensuring "even illumination from every angle, eliminating facial...
Google's initial launch of Bard, its very own "AI" chatbot based on large language models, felt very much like an improvised response to all the traction that ChatGPT was getting in the media - complete with Google I/O becoming basically a ridiculous attempt to steal back some of the spotlight. Well, a few months have passed, and Bard is now maturing. Slowly, but surely, more features are being added, which should make it more useful than it's ever been (not that that's saying much, but still). The company today unveiled Bard's "July update" (thus strongly implying it will get monthly...
