The 3C has now provided evidence of the charging speeds that Samsung will offer for its next flagship smartphones. Unfortunately, the rumour of 65 W wired charging for the Galaxy S24 Ultra was wide of the mark; there will be no changes for the Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24 Plus, either.

Samsung is preparing to release a follow-up to the Galaxy A04s. Dubbed the Galaxy A05s, the handset is expected to arrive later this year with a familiar design that retains its predecessor's triple camera layout. However, Samsung has made tweaks in a few areas, bringing the Galaxy A05s up to date with its latest design language.

It now seems that Samsung is developing a smart ring competitor to the likes of the Oura Smart Ring. Following various rumours, a renowned leaker alleges that the possible Galaxy Watch6 alternative and the Galaxy S24 series will debut simultaneously in January.

The Galaxy S23 FE is edging closer to release. Not only has Samsung received certification to sell the device in China, but also official product renders have now surfaced online.

Evidence of the Galaxy Buds FE has now emerged online, possibly only a month or so before its official release. Unsurprisingly, the Fan Edition earbuds look like a scaled-down version of Samsung's flagship alternatives, as do the Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus.

According to reports, little over five months will separate the launches of the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 from the Galaxy S24 series. Reputedly, Samsung hopes to sell at least 10% more Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra units than the Galaxy S23 series, with production set at a total of 30 million units globally.

It appears that Samsung is on the verge of unveiling its next Fan Edition smartphone. Jumping to the Galaxy S23 FE after missing out the Galaxy S22 FE, the next FE-branded device looks like other Galaxy S23 models but with downgraded specifications in various areas.

The Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition has now arrived, debuting first in Samsung's home market of South Korea. Available from September 12, the Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition will ship with various accessories, including a customised Galaxy Watch6.

The Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic are finally eligible for One UI 5 Watch, Samsung's spin-off of Wear OS 4. Arriving as HWH3 for both devices, One UI 5 Watch introduces various changes for the Galaxy Watch4 series and is available to download now.

Samsung ships the Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic with new quick-release watch bands. While the watch bands are fundamentally the same as those that Samsung includes with the Galaxy Watch5 series, Galaxy Watch6 owners are now reporting problems with the new connector.

The Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro are some of the first smartwatches that support 'Watch Unlock', a long-awaited feature that Google originally debuted with Wear OS 3 as Smart Lock. While the feature is not live yet, it has already reached Galaxy Watch5 series models that have been updated to One UI 5 Watch and Wear OS 4.

European pricing for the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series has surfaced online, at least a month before its official release. Reportedly arriving in Q4 2023 as the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus, the series is rumoured to start at €549.99 with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

According to a usually reliable leaker, Samsung has elected to equip the Galaxy S24 Ultra with not only an improved telephoto camera, but also a refined primary camera. While next year's Ultra will retain a 200 MP sensor, it should be an optimised version of the ISOCELL HP2 found in the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Samsung is now distributing One UI 5 Watch to the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro. Rolling out with build numbers ending in BWH3, the update brings Wear OS 4 to the Galaxy Watch5 series with various performance improvements and new features.

Samsung has confirmed plans to return to its collaboration with Thom Browne. Seemingly, it only plans to introduce a Thom Browne version of the Galaxy Z Fold5, which it will showcase in a week's time.

Samsung has released another limited edition Galaxy Watch6 model, following up on last month's Golf Edition. This time, it has presented the Galaxy Watch6 Classic Astro Edition, which Samsung claims is inspired by the astrolabe, an ancient astronomical instrument used to calculate the positions of celestial bodies.

After launching the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 about a month ago, Samsung is set to unveil a slew of new devices including the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series in the future. That future may not be as close as has been rumored, however.

A new rumour says the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will exclusively be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, leaving the Exynos 2400 for the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+.

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max has been given the number one position in a chart of the global top 10 most-shipped smartphones for the first half of 2023 (1H23). In fact, Apple has taken up five slots in the table, including the top four places, leaving Samsung to grab the rest with various Galaxy S and Galaxy A phones. This meant there was no room left for Xiaomi/Redmi devices.

Samsung downgraded its non-Ultra models to 1080p displays with the Galaxy S21 series back in 2021. It appears, though, that the company may be set to make amends, with word on the grapevine now indicating a WQHD+ screen could be on the cards for the Galaxy S24+.

Recent Geekbench leaks point to Qualcomm offering an exclusive quad-cluster configuration for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. While the regular 8 Gen 3 uses a 1+5+2 tri-cluster configuration, the 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy features a 1+3+2+2 quad-cluster with increased boost clocks. This Samsung-exclusive SoC is expected to feature in 2024 Samsung flagships such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra and will likely be made available to other OEMs later that year.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra could offer double the maximum storage compared to its predecessor. However, there is no word about a corresponding increase in memory with the higher-specced variants.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is now projected to be a markedly wide Android flagship smartphone - wider than its S23 Ultra predecessor, in fact, in a way that might render even the next top-end iPhone a more compact device. The design switch is still the stuff of rumor, yet has already attracted criticism from a famous, typically reliable leaker, which mirrors that directed at the Galaxy Notes of old.

Samsung is preparing to refresh its entry-level Galaxy Tab A series. Next up for release are the Galaxy Tab A9 and Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, which have both been spotted online ahead of their official introductions later this year.

The launch of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series is still rumoured to be months off, with Samsung expected to hold both tablets back until the autumn. In the meantime, regulatory bodies have confirmed the battery capacity and charging speed of the Tab S9 FE Plus, while Samsung itself has also outlined colours and memory configurations for both upcoming tablets.

The rumored display upgrade of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will allegedly come with narrow bezels that would result in a screen-to-body ratio of 88%. This figure would be the lowest of a Samsung flagship handset since the arrival of the Galaxy S10, which launched in early March 2019.

Evidence of all three Galaxy S24 series batteries has surfaced online, courtesy of the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards. While the Galaxy S24 Plus gains a modest battery capacity improvement over its predecessor, the same cannot be said for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Meanwhile, AnTuTu has confirmed various Exynos 2400 specifications, which is a likely candidate for European versions of the Galaxy S24 series.

Samsung has reportedly augmented its ISOCELL series of mobile device image sensors with new variants of up to 440MP in size. The unprecedentedly high-res new camera component is slated to enter mass production in 2024 along with its new siblings. They are believed to include a new 50MP model with specs to rival the cutting-edge 1-inch Sony IMX989.

A renowned leaker has provided new details about the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Reputedly, Samsung will include a titanium frame within its next flagship smartphone, as well as a new in-sensor 5x zoom option within its first-party camera app.

According to a new report, Samsung is preparing a considerable camera upgrade for the Galaxy Z Flip6, following this year's cover display expansion. The change would see the Galaxy Z Flip5 successor match the native output of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy Z Fold4, as well as the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

Samsung has now announced which devices are eligible for One UI 5.1.1, its last feature update before it releases One UI 6 later this year. With over a dozen devices eligible for One UI 5.1.1, Samsung has also described some of the changes that the update makes from One UI 5.

A noted leaker has apparently confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will be receiving a display upgrade. While the source doesn’t divulge specific details about the screen, the news might be based on reports about the S24 Ultra’s display that have previously surfaced in Korean media, with power efficiency being key.

While the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will continue with the S23 Ultra's 200 MP main camera, it's set to debut a new sensor beneath its 3x zoom lens. Details of the sensor in question have now been revealed, promising improved short-range zoom capabilities.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will debut in Q1 2024 but seems set to do so without significant improvements over its predecessor. In addition to rumors indicating mostly unchanged camera hardware, the flagship has now been tipped to also retain the S23 Ultra's battery capacity and charging wattage.

Samsung has once again published and removed One UI 6 Beta. This time, its US department briefly listed the Android 14 Beta-based build before swiftly removing it again.

Samsung has released a new update package to the Galaxy S23 series, shortly before it delivers One UI 5.1.1 and its first One UI 6 Beta. While this month's update is said to only bring new security patches, it is still roughly a 1.3 GB download.

Prolific leaker Ice Universe says the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will come with a 50 MP 3x telephoto sensor, improving upon the 10 MP sensor featured on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

It seems that Samsung is preparing to open public testing for One UI 6, its Android 14-based update. While Samsung Germany has since deleted its press release, it confirmed that One UI 6 Beta 1 will be available soon across multiple markets, starting with the Galaxy S23 series.

Update: Roland Quandt shares Indian pricing for 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and Wi-Fi only variant.
Samsung is preparing to bolster the Galaxy Tab S9 series, having already released three flagship models. While the company has not commented further yet, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE has stopped by the FCC in the US, a crucial step towards its release later this year. Samsung appears to have confirmed the existence of both Tab S9 FE models now too.

According to a new report, Samsung has turned to recent Galaxy S flagships for the camera hardware in the Galaxy S23 FE. While the new Fan Edition model should feature the same 50 MP primary camera as the Galaxy S23, it may still be lumbered with its predecessor's 8 MP telephoto camera.

Samsung may not have moved the needle much with the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5. However, it has now demonstrated various prototypes of both models, offering a glimpse into the various avenues that Samsung could have taken the Galaxy Z series.

Multiple leaks have confirmed key details about some of the upgrades bought forth by the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra. All three phones are slated for an early 2024 launch and will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

Word on the grapevine indicates Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 Pro phones will set off a wave of smartphones with titanium frames. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is set to follow that trend, but will likely be beaten to the punch by the Xiaomi 14 Pro—or, at least, a special version of it.

Ice Universe has confirmed the Exynos 2400's existence and stated that it will be featured in Galaxy S24 smartphones sold in Europe and Asia. This suggests Samsung will go back to its old ways and reserve its Snapdragon chips for North America and China.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scores 2,231 and 6,661 in Geekbench 6.1's single-and multi-core tests. It features a quad-cluster CPU with Cortex-A520, Cortex-A720 and Cortex-X4 cores and an Adreno 750 GPU. It will power the Galaxy S24+ and other flagship smartphones in 2024.

Samsung will launch the Galaxy S24 series in the first quarter of 2024. According to a new leak, the range-topping Galaxy S24 Ultra will arrive with a titanium frame, not at all dissimilar to what has been rumored for Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Samsung has now released a new version of its Golf Edition smartwatch. Based on the Galaxy Watch6 Classic, the Golf Edition contains a few design and software tweaks from the regular model.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 has arrived, with Samsung equipping the new foldable with the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset as the Galaxy Z Fold5. For some reason, the smaller foldable still lacks Samsung DeX support, contrary to earlier rumours.

The long-rumored last member of the Galaxy S23 Android smartphone family was notable by its absence during Samsung's major Galaxy Unpacked event of today (July 26, 2023). However, it is still definitely on the way, according to a new tip. It will, apparently, arrive with wireless charging - and with other, more premium S23 party tricks in this area besides.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 is Samsung's latest attempt at a clamshell foldable. This time, the Galaxy Z Flip can close flush, eliminating the gap that existed with previous models. The Galaxy Z Flip5 also has a much more powerful processor than earlier models, among other changes.
