New benchmark leaks have identified the Galaxy A55, Samsung's apparent testbed for the Exynos 1480 chipset. Helped along by 8 GB of RAM, the Exynos 1480 has 8 CPU cores and the Xclipse 530, a GPU that utilises AMD's RDNA 2 architecture.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is thought to launch with a sensor of the same resolution as its predecessor - even if that will still be 200MP. Now, a new leak asserts that the experience and results of taking photos with the upcoming flagship Android smartphone will differ compared to the S23 Ultra after all, and will mirror a similar upgrade found in the latest iPhones.

The Galaxy S24 leaks are slowly becoming a little more substantiated and now also confirm information that was previously not backed up by solid evidence. This applies, for example, to the information on color options and memory options of the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra, which will be launched in the beginning of 2024.

As the latest hands-on photo of the Galaxy S24 Ultra camera shows, comparatively little changes in Samsung's flagships from year to year. A usually quite reliable leaker has put the spotlight on what we can expect from the cameras of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Ultra in the coming years.

According to a new report, Samsung will jump aboard the SOS satellite connectivity train with the Galaxy S24 series. No price rises are expected from this year's Galaxy S23 smartphones, though.

Samsung has now kicked off its next series of Galaxy A series smartphones. While its Galaxy S series remains on Galaxy S23 models, the company is already selling the Galaxy A25 5G in some markets, which is more of an evolved Galaxy A24 4G than a complete device overhaul.

Prior reports claimed the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra would ditch its 10x zoom lens in favor of a 5x zoom camera. New, conflicting information casts doubts on those reports, however, with the next-gen Samsung flagship now rumored to keep its 10x zoom lens, but deliver a significant upgrade on its second zoom camera.

A brand new One UI 6.1 version has been circulating since this weekend and lots of photos and screenshots provide an idea about the new features and improvements that can be expected on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra, as well as on older Samsung phones in the future. As expected, the magic word is AI.

To date, Samsung has provided a rather unimaginative option for protecting the battery in its Galaxy phones. The competition, for example from Apple, is much more modern, but the lead is likely to shrink again with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series in January 2024, as a leaker has now shown in the first screenshots. Older Galaxy phones should also benefit from the One UI 6.1 update in 2024.

Full specifications for one of Samsung's next Galaxy A smartphones have appeared online, courtesy of a reliable leaker. The leak leaves little to the imagination for the Galaxy A25 5G, which may not be available until the first week of January 2024 despite rumours of a launch later this month.

The same device has popped up on the Safety Korea database, too.

A famous X leaker says that Samsung will ditch the Exynos branding starting next year. Upcoming mid-range and flagship SoCs will be called different versions of Dream Chip.

Samsung has stepped up the pace with its One UI 6 rollout. Having issued a new release schedule earlier this week, the company has now started upgrading the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra to its Android 14-based OS. Stable One UI 6 updates are now available for the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy M33, the second and third mid-range devices to move up from One UI 5 builds.

According to new leaks, Samsung will launch the successor to the Galaxy A24 4G in less than a month. Rumoured to arrive in three colours as the Galaxy A25 5G, the handset is expected to feature a 120 Hz AMOLED display, among other hardware improvements.

The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are thought to launch with what Samsung might call the best and most powerful chipset it has ever made in the Exynos 2400. The SoC's projected bragging rights are also now believed to include production using FOWLP, a cutting-edge technique tipped to enhance bandwidth and performance by up to 15% in chips that take up to 40% less space.

Samsung has quietly begun upgrading the Galaxy S22 series to One UI 6. Distributed as 'DWK4', the update brings Android 14 to Samsung's older flagships, the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Samsung has released new updates for its Camera Assistant and Expert RAW apps. Principally aimed at the Galaxy S23 series, the updates are also available for a few other recent flagships. While Camera Assistant 2.0.00.0 introduces several improvements, the latest version of Expert RAW enables an ND Filter mode.

Samsung has pulled its One UI 6 release schedule for over 30 devices. The Android 14-based update should have been landing on new devices shortly, but it remains exclusive to the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra for now.

Samsung's next trio of flagship Android smartphones are alleged to have appeared on Twitter/X in advance of their launch - albeit possibly in the form of non-working demo units. The new leak purports to confirm each top-end S24-series variant's design upgrades - or almost total lack thereof, that is. Then again, another tipster purports to debunk these new live images.

Official-looking render images of the Galaxy xCover7 have leaked online, likely a few months before Samsung refreshes its rugged smartphone series. Reputedly, the Galaxy xCover7 could be a Galaxy A55 in disguise, which is expected to showcase the Samsung Exynos 1480 chipset.

Samsung's AI offensive will kick off at the beginning of 2024, apparently alongside the Galaxy S24.

Samsung's latest custom stylus is touted to deliver a more natural, comfortable writing experience to tablet or smartphone users. It has many of the same specs and features as the S Pen found in a new Galaxy S23 Ultra; however, the OEM implies that it induces less fatigue over time due to its dedicated electronic pen design. In short, it is backed to become the US' new non-Apple Apple Pencil.

Samsung is likely still a few months away from releasing a Galaxy A24 successor. Nonetheless, the Samsung Galaxy A25 has already been certified for sale in the US, with the FCC revealing a few specifications in the process. Official images of the upcoming mid-range smartphone have now surfaced too.
