Samsung's New Zealand division featured a person named Tim Cook in a Galaxy Z Fold 8 ad in response to the launch of the foldable iPhone Duo. Sources disagree: some claim it is an ordinary citizen, others — Apple's CEO himself.

Apple unveiled its first foldable iPhone Duo, while competitors — Samsung, Duolingo, and Motorola — reacted with a series of humorous messages, reminding everyone of their own foldable smartphones and services.

Switching from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy promises the loss of 3D Face ID, MagSafe, and part of the Apple ecosystem. We break down exactly what the user will lose and where Samsung's and Apple's versions diverge.

Samsung has unveiled the budget Galaxy A07s powered by the Helio G99+ chip, with a 6.7-inch 90 Hz screen and a record for the segment: six years of Android and security patch updates.

Internal Qualcomm documents have confirmed parallel testing of three regional builds of the Samsung Galaxy S27 on the SM8975 chipset. The official announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is expected at Snapdragon Summit on September 22–24, 2026.

3C certification has confirmed: the base Galaxy S27 will get 25 W wired charging — exactly like the Galaxy S20 in 2020. Seven generations without progress, while competitors offer 100+ W.

Samsung has unveiled the 14-inch Galaxy Book 6 running Windows 11 with Intel processors and a battery lasting up to 25 hours. The model with Galaxy AI starts at $799 and challenges Apple's budget MacBook Neo.

Xiaomi is testing Smart Privacy Display — a Samsung-style feature with pixel-level light control and gaze detection via the front camera. The technology was found in a test firmware and is likely to debut in the Xiaomi 18 lineup.

According to Counterpoint Research, in Q2 2026 Apple held its lead on the global smartphone market, taking five spots in the top 10. Samsung is narrowing the gap thanks to the Galaxy S26 and A series, while Xiaomi dropped out of the top ten.

Apple has set September 9, 2026, for the launch of new iPhones and a possible foldable smartphone. The event will be the first major one for new CEO John Ternus.

RBC-Ukraine, citing BGR, investigated which four key Samsung Galaxy features a user permanently loses when switching to Google Pixel: the Good Lock modules, the Note Assist and Browsing Assist AI tools, and the Edge Panels panel.

Insiders Ice Universe and Sonny Dickson revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will feature an iPhone 17 Pro–style island camera plateau, a 200-MP ISOCELL HPC sensor, and Qi2 support. The other models in the lineup will keep the familiar design. The announcement is expected in early 2027.

Less than a week before the August 27 launch, an unboxing video of the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE appeared online: the device in Blueberry blue with a glossy rear panel, a 4,900 mAh battery, 45 W charging, and 7 years of updates.

Two new Samsung models have been registered in the registry: the rugged Galaxy XCover FR and the sub-flagship successor Galaxy A58 5G. Official dates and prices have not been disclosed; release is expected in the coming months.

In August 2026, Samsung raised prices for contract production of 4-nm and 5-nm chips by 10–15%, monetizing the global capacity shortage. Against the backdrop of full utilization of lines in Pyeongtaek and new customers, the company's foundry business may turn profitable as early as 2027.

Samsung is preparing to release a new foldable smartphone in 2027 with a screen wider than the Galaxy Z Fold8. The device will be optimized for video, and the company's portfolio will feature five models, including an updated Z TriFold.
