The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max promises remarkable runtimes thanks to its behemoth 7,500 mAh battery. However, according to battery life testing done by TechDroider, while the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max does offer excellent runtimes, it fails to make an impact when compared against the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Samsung has begun rolling out One UI 8, its Android 16-based update, to the Galaxy S22 series, marking the final major upgrade for the 2022 flagships. The update brings stability improvements, refreshed apps, and the latest security patch, but skips the new Galaxy AI features seen on newer models. With this rollout, the S22 lineup officially reaches the end of its promised OS support cycle.

A new leak has shared more information on the ‘Privacy display’ feature that is expected to be present in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It seems like users will be able to automatically turn it on when certain conditions are met.

The Galaxy S26 Pro is widely rumored to be a direct successor to the Galaxy S25. Reportedly, it will be equipped with a new main camera as well, but this new sensor doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade.

Apple's new iPhone Air is equipped with a laughably small battery in a world where even compact phones sport 5,000 mAh batteries. In spite of that, the iPhone Air manages to offer solid battery life in hands-on tests—better than the Galaxy S25 Edge, and astonishingly close to the iPhone 17.

The Galaxy S25 Edge has been discounted to just $699.99 at Amazon, undercutting the iPhone Air by a wide margin. In addition to the lower price, the Edge also offers stereo speakers, a slightly larger battery, faster USB speeds, and a dual-camera setup with a 200 MP main shooter.

From the unconventional design of the Galaxy S25 Edge successor, potentially called Galaxy S26 Air or Galaxy S26 Edge, to the more traditional-looking camera of the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra, CAD-based renders and dummies have revealed quite a lot about the Galaxy S26 family expected in around four months. The first accessories now seem to confirm the inconsistency of Samsung's camera designs in 2026.

Things aren't looking good for Samsung fans who were eagerly awaiting the successors to the Galaxy S25 family. More and more dreams are being quashed by initial certifications and recent leaks. Not only are fewer upgrades to be expected in the camera, but the battery and fast charging features are also likely to disappoint.

High-resolution render images from a quite reliable leaker provide the best look yet at the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro. The compact flagship is expected to feature a very thin chassis and a redesigned triple camera.

Leaker UniverseIce has leaked the state of the Galaxy S26 Pro's bezels. Calling the situation "little progress", the leaker shows, by way of renders, that the Xiaomi 16 Pro has much thinner bezels than the Galaxy S26 Pro and the Galaxy S26 Edge.

The iPhone 17 Air will indeed debut as a thinner smartphone than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, according to a new leak. The rumored new kind of Apple flagship could also be lighter - although its Android nemesis might actually take up less space in other dimensions. Ironically, the S25 Edge might be more generous in some important ways.

In the past few hours, two leakers have confirmed certain details regarding the camera upgrades of the Galaxy S26 series.

The exact dimensions of the Galaxy S26 Ultra have leaked online thanks to prolific leaker UniverseIce. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is larger than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while packing much rounder corners. The leak confirms previously leaked information regarding the rounder, iPhone-like appearance of the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The Galaxy S26 Edge is projected to launch as a second-gen flagship smartphone with an even thinner chassis than that of its ultra-slim predecessor.

Will the Galaxy S26 Ultra look more like the Galaxy S20 Ultra or Galaxy S21 Ultra than the Galaxy S25 Ultra? At least one report from Samsung's homeland suggests this possibility and argues that, like Apple's iPhone 17 Pro, improved cameras in a thinner body is certainly possible.

The Galaxy S25 FE may not come at a higher price in the US compared to the Galaxy S24 FE. That could make the lack of an SoC upgrade more justifiable for some shoppers.

It has also reportedly outdone its 2024 predecessor by about a million units.

Samsung's Fan Edition is unlikely to be cheaper than last year's Galaxy S24 FE.

Last but not least, there are new render images in all colors.

The Galaxy S26 series will finally receive much-needed battery upgrades next year. Even the comparatively compact 6.3-inch Samsung flagship, rumored to be launching under the name Galaxy S26 Pro, is said to offer more capacity than the Galaxy S25, as a recent leak highlights. Compared to Xiaomi 16 and others, however, this increase is nothing to celebrate.

Samsung is planning to make a huge leap with the Galaxy S26 Ultra's camera, at least according to the latest information from a well-known leaker.
