Samsung Galaxy A35's One UI 9 beta update release is imminent

About a week ago, a One UI 9 beta build with firmware version A356NKSUAZZH5 for the Galaxy A35 was spotted on Samsung's test servers in Korea, suggesting the smartphone would receive the One UI 9 beta before the stable update. Now, another piece of evidence suggests the Galaxy A35 will receive the One UI 9 beta update and that its release is imminent. A Samsung user posted a screenshot on the company's community forum showing a beta section for the Galaxy A35, suggesting the Korean brand will soon open the One UI 9 Beta program for the Galaxy A35 and allow users to try One UI 9 before...

Apple apparently has two game controllers in the works

Practically anything Apple releases tends to enjoy at least some popularity. Unfortunately, like with most of the industry, the days of outright silly products like the iPod Socks (yes, we are not making this up) seem to be gone now. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t still room for somewhat stranger products. Apparently, Cupertino is working on two different game controllers, or at least that’s what code found inside macOS 26.7 suggests. The macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate code actually seems to contain a bunch of references to unannounced devices, including camera-equipped AirPods and...

Deals: Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Flip8 get first big price cuts, Galaxy S26 FE launches

The Samsung Galaxy Z8 series of foldables launched about a month ago and we’re already seeing the first big discounts for the Z Fold8 Ultra and the Z Flip8. They are still not cheap – flagship foldables never are – but the price drop is tangible. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is $300 off. This is a great discount and it makes the Ultra $100 cheaper than the wide Galaxy Z Fold8. Ideally, the choice between these two would come down to form factor preference – the multitasking-friendly Ultra vs. the media-friendly Z Fold8 – but price is a factor that is hard to ignore. The Ultra also has...

Tecno bezel-less concept phone hands-on

The race to 0mm display bezels has taken a back seat in recent years, but Tecno decided to jump-start the whole ordeal with its bezel-less concept phone. We got to hold it in person here at IFA Berlin 2026, and these are some early impressions. While there are no visible black borders around the display, the metal frame feels wider compared to regular phones. So, did Tecno just squeeze the bezels under the phone’s frame? Kind of. It's actually more complicated than that. See, Tecno is using a dual-layer cover glass with the bottom portion wrapping around the midframe and concealing...
