The Galaxy Z Fold8 is not only more compact and wider, it is also supposed to be way more robust thanks to a dual titanium layer that JerryRigEverything is set to find.

Samsung has reportedly ordered one million additional Galaxy Z Fold 8 units after record preorders and sales exceeded expectations worldwide. Strong demand, particularly in South Korea, suggests wide-format foldables are gaining mainstream traction despite their premium pricing.

The reasons behind these decisions won't surprise any Samsung insiders.

We’re halfway between the Galaxy S26 launch and the next big Galaxy Unpacked event and the rumors surrounding the Galaxy S27 series expected in January or February 2027 are starting to heat up.

Samsung’s One UI 9.0 introduces escalating lockout periods after failed unlock attempts, culminating in a permanent lock and mandatory factory reset after 13 distinct failures.

A new leak claims Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 and S27+ will use a 50MP Sony sensor for their main camera instead of an in-house ISOCELL sensor. If accurate, it would mark the first time since the Galaxy S21 and S21+ in 2021 that Samsung has turned to Sony for its primary camera hardware.

The Galaxy event kicks off in less than 8 hours: Samsung will be unveiling several new products, most of which you already know in detail from recent leaks.

Samsung is keeping its most meaningful upgrades for the Pro and Ultra variants in the Galaxy S27 series, or so it seems. The latest leak suggests that the base and Plus variants will not get the selfie camera upgrade everyone hoped for.
