Samsung has released Android 12L to the Galaxy Z Fold2. Rolling out as One UI 4.1.1, the update arrives as F916BXXU2HVHA. Not only does One UI 4.1.1 contain a taskbar, but it also features a revised notification shade and a two-column layout in apps that are Android 12L-optimised.

According to new reports, the Galaxy S23 could be somewhat of a disappointment for fans of ever-shrinking bezels. While many Android OEMs continue their gradual moves towards releasing a smartphone with no display bezels whatsoever, a reliable leaker claims the opposite will be true with the Galaxy S23, which may look a bit chunkier than the current Galaxy S22.

According to a new leak, mid-range smartphones next year will make the switch from FHD+ to 1.5K displays, with a resultant display pixel density in the 450 ppi range.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series will be very much like the Galaxy S22 series in terms of dimensions and display specifications according to a well-known leaker.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has starred in a new unofficial fan-made concept video and in some concept renderings dressed in a Galaxy Z Fold4 beige. The S23 Ultra in this clip has been created with the latest leaks and rumors in mind, which means it has a flatter display than the S22 Ultra with a more angular – and attractive – look to it.

YouTuber Zack Nelson has put the Galaxy Z Fold4 through an even tougher set of tests than most other smartphones on his JerryRigEverything channel. Not only does the smartphone have to deal with his usual attempts to bend and burn the device, but it also gets subjected to having dirt mashed against its surfaces and hinges. Surprisingly, the Galaxy Z Fold4 withstands all attempts to damage it.

The expected Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s design has been compared with that of the S22 Ultra, with a leaker utilizing power banks to give a visual representation of how the S23 Ultra will look.

Samsung partnered with AMD to revolutionize mobile graphics with the launch of the Exynos 2200 and its Xclipse 920 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture.

But, even with this setback, Samsung is not done with RDNA-based GPUs as the company is continuing its collaboration with AMD.
