If you’re looking for the most customizable out-of-the-box experience on a smartphone today, it’s tough to go wrong with Samsung. Unlike some of the more locked-down launchers you’ll find on Android — sorry, but I’m looking at you, Pixel — the amount of personal touches you can apply to any Galaxy phone can feel endless, and that’s before you install something like Good Lock. However, with One UI 8.5, it seems like Samsung made the rare move to remove some of this functionality in the name of security, and users aren’t pleased.

If you’ve shopped for anything remotely related to computing over the past six months, you know it’s a pretty bad time to be in the market for tech. With AI-fueled RAM and storage shortages continuing with no end in sight, plenty of brands have either enacted or are considering price hikes on their already-available tech. Starting tomorrow, Samsung might be the latest brand to join in the (not so) fun.

The final 24 hours of the Amazon Big Spring Sale is now on the roll – we are touching down this morning to surface all of the most notable deals while they are still live. While some price drops are starting to disappear, you might want to get in there before everything is gone for good. From Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy gear right through to giant selection of smartphone accessories, power stations, LEGO, apparel, and even yard tools to ready your outdoor space, dive into our collection of the most notable Big Spring Sale discounts while you still can down below.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 series launched late last year but, out of the blue, Samsung has just launched a new “Pro Keyboard” for the Ultra model, and it’s expensive.

In a year where Apple has switched things up, and Samsung has barely moved an inch, just how does the iPhone 17 Pro Max stack up against the Galaxy S26 Ultra? Is there something Samsung can learn from Cupertino?

Following Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, more Galaxy phones are set to add cross-compatibility with Apple’s AirDrop and new findings not only reveal a list of devices, but also a way to enable it early – maybe.

Samsung just released a new app called “Hearapy” to reduce motion sickness. It works by playing specific audio frequencies, quelling travel nausea for up to two hours with a quick session.

Google appears to be working on a new tap-based gesture for Quick Share that utilizes NFC to trigger file sharing, with the new feature having appeared in a leaked build of Samsung’s Android 17 update, One UI 9.

The latest data reveals that, roughly a month into sales, Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are a massive hit, and that’s likely in part because they’re a product that deserves your attention.

As is the case on the Pixel 10 series, the newly rolling out ability to send files via Apple’s AirDrop on the Galaxy S26 series is quick and easy – “it just works.”

After months in beta on the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung’s One UI 8.5 update is now expanding to a host of other Galaxy devices including foldables, last-gen flagships, mid-rangers, and more.

A few days into the rollout, Samsung is expanding AirDrop support over Quick Share to Galaxy S26 series devices in the US market.

Samsung just announced its new mid-range Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 phones and they’re coming to the US, but with a starting price of $449, the Pixel 10a, or even the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, might be more worthwhile.

Just a few short days after Samsung confirmed it would bring AirDrop support to the Galaxy S26 series, we’re already seeing the update arrive on devices in regions beyond its initial launch. Unfortunately for US readers, you’ll have to keep waiting a little while longer.

Samsung has another book-style foldable in the works this year, with the “Wide” Galaxy Z Fold model now leaking with its shorter and wider design in tow.

Some Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy users have been running into problems with Android Auto as of late, but fixes are now rolling out, Google says.

The 2026 Amazon Big Spring Sale is now officially live. It has now taken over the Amazon home page, delivering thousands of price drops on Google and Samsung tech, smart home gear, smartphone accessories, home goods, and just about everything else. The sale kicks off today and will run through March 31 with a revolving door of discounts landing each day – we will update this post with the best offers throughout the sale and stay locked to 9to5Toys for up-to-the-minute price drops.

After numerous leaks, Samsung has officially refreshed its mid-range lineup with the announcement of the Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G devices in Europe – with a US expansion expected later this year.

Samsung will officially start rolling out AirDrop support over Quick Share on Galaxy S26 devices throughout this week and, as it turns out, it will be enabled by default.
