Google today announced Nano Banana 2 as its latest image model rolling out now to the Gemini app.

t’s now been over half a decade since Samsung folded its Galaxy Note lineup into the mainline Galaxy S-series, but fans of the original “phablet” aren’t ones to let go so easily. If you’re still holding onto your Galaxy Note 20 Ultra — a device first released in August of 2020, believe it or not — Samsung is willing to give you a pretty sweet deal to part ways with it.

One UI 8.5 beta is still going strong, though it’s nearing its final few updates – hopefully. Samsung is currently rolling out the Galaxy S25 series’ patch for the latest beta version of One UI 8.5.

While there’s no new hardware on the Galaxy S26 series in terms of their cameras, there are some new software tricks. One of those is “Super Steady Video” with “Horizon Lock” on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is basically like having a gimbal just a software toggle away.

The Qi specs get updated pretty regularly, with the newest version now being Qi 2.3, but there’s nothing exactly groundbreaking going on here.

For yet another year, Samsung has skipped native Qi2 magnets in its Galaxy S26 series, but at least the first-party cases look a whole lot better.

Alongside its new Phone (4a), the Nothing Headphone (a) has been officially confirmed as the brand’s next pair of over-ear headphones, set for launch next week.

Following the Gemini automation announcement today, Google is detailing how all this works under the hood on Android.

Motorola has done well with its flip phone Razr series in recent years, but the company revealed at CES 2026 last month that it would enter the book-style category with the Razr Fold due out later this year. It looks promising, and apparently we’ll be getting more details at MWC 2026 next week.

Last October, Google announced Gemini Enterprise for business users, and the mobile apps are now available. Meanwhile, @Google Chat is now available in the Gemini app for Workspace users.

The overall design of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is mostly familiar, but some subtle tweaks such as rounding the corners really make for a nice hardware upgrade.

Google’s Sameer Samat took the stage at Galaxy Unpacked today and teased “amazing things” coming to Android 17.

Starting on Google Pixel and extending to Samsung Galaxy with last year’s Galaxy S25 series, “Audio Eraser” features have proven pretty handy for recording videos. Starting with the Galaxy S26, Samsung is expanding Audio Eraser beyond recording, and applying it in real-time to videos from YouTube and other apps on your smartphone.

At Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked, Google announced Scam Detection updates for calls and its Messages app.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series has arrived and, as per usual, the pre-order period is the best time to buy these phones.

Besides Gemini automation, Google today announced the latest Circle to Search features for the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10.

The Galaxy S26 series is official, and as always, there are certain places to order the new phones before they become publicly available. This quick guide will direct you to the best deal, even though two of the three phones are slightly more expensive.

The Galaxy S26 trio is finally here, and with it comes One UI 8.5. Samsung might be waiting until the summer to roll out its next big shake-up for its version of Android, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t seeing some new visual elements in this mid-cycle release. As we’ve come to expect, at least one element on the S26’s software is ripped right from Samsung’s closest rival.

The Galaxy S26 lineup is a pretty familiar upgrade, which means Samsung is once again calling on its AI platform to make these devices stand out from the pack. This year’s big difference is an actual vision for what Galaxy AI should be aiming to accomplish — though whether that holds up in practice remains to be seen.
