The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra represents a new standard of flagship with its introduction of the "Flex Magic Pixel" privacy display, which prevents side-angle viewing for secure working on the go. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and featuring a significantly brighter f/1.4 main aperture, it remains the ultimate tool for power users and mobile photographers.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the thinnest foldable in Galaxy history, measuring just 8.9mm when closed. It finally bridges the gap between foldables and ultras by incorporating the 200MP ProVisual camera and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, all while adopting a more natural 21:9 aspect ratio on the cover display.
Samsung recently released the Galaxy S10e alongside the other Galaxy S10 lineup, as a direct competitor to the Apple iPhone XR. Just like Apple did with the iPhone XR, Samsung has given its "cheaper" variant some of the best features of its higher-end flagships, while reserving some premium features for its higher price point devices. Both handsets are priced equally at launch. So which one is better?

SIZE & HANDS-ON
The larger 6.1-inch display on the iPhone XR makes it slightly bigger than the Galaxy S10e with its 5.8-inch display. Samsung's budget flagship is also thinner and lighter. While some may prefer the larger display size, others may lean toward the smaller dimensions of the Galaxy S10e for easier one-handed use.
NOTCH VS. INFINITY-O
Samsung has introduces a screen cutout called "Infinity-O," essentially a hole punched into the display for the front camera. This allowed both Apple and Samsung to offer larger screen real-estate with slim bezels. Ideally, we hope that both the notch and the punch are interim steps on the path to actual full-display phones.
SCREEN RESOLUTION
The iPhone XR was criticized for its lower-resolution LCD display. Pure quality goes to Samsung, who outfitted the Galaxy S10e with a Full HD+ AMOLED panel and support for HDR10+ for superior picture quality.
STORAGE & EXPANSION
Samsung gives customers 128GB of storage on the base Galaxy S10e, compared to Apple's 64GB. Crucially, the Galaxy S10e also includes microSD storage expansion, which Apple's iPhones continue to lack.
The recently announced Galaxy S10 is now available for pre-order and can be purchased in stores starting March 8. If you are someone who wants to experience a small part of that device first-hand before purchasing the device you can try out the official Galaxy S10 wallpapers right now.
The wallpapers come in vibrant and vivid color combinations and have been designed to look spectacular with an array of different contrasting colors.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds is a new in-ear wireless earbuds the company announced during its Unpacked 2019 event. Samsung has released them to directly target the Apple AirPods, offering them at a lower price with some interesting features.
The Galaxy Buds are powered by AKG technology, which is an Enhanced Ambient Sound that allows users to hear their surroundings very clear even while the buds are in their ears. It makes it easier to remain aware of your environment while still listening to their favorite music.
The earbuds also use something called Adaptive Dual Microphone, which is supposed to provide a clear voice in both lout and quiet environments.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Buds offer up to six hours of Bluetooth streaming, and up to five hours of calls. Additionally, the compact case holds a charge for up to seven hours, while a 15-minute quick charge can give you another 1.7 hours of battery life.
The Galaxy Buds feature device-to-device power sharing, which lets you charge the earbuds using your Galaxy S10 when you don't have a wireless charger around. These are also the first earbuds from Samsung to feature Bixby integration, allowing you to activate the digital assistant with your voice to make calls, send texts or check battery life.
Besides the introduction of the Galaxy Watch, Samsung has also entered the budget-friendly wearable market with the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Fit and the Galaxy Fit e. The wearable features the thin horizontal display in a lightweight body with all of the essential features for fitness enthusiasts and stellar battery life.

Whichever one you chose, you have a modest processor tacking your workouts and displaying notifications from your compatible Android or iPhone on the small AMOLED display. The Galaxy Fit lets you select from one of the 90 different activities to track using the Samsung Health app or auto-detect and track a few popular types of workouts like running, rowing, biking or walking. Both wearables are water-resistant up to 5 meters deep, also meeting MIL-STD 810G standards for top-notch durability.
Samsung has even included a heart rate monitor with the Galaxy Fit, something usually reserved for higher priced wearables. you even get features like "enhanced sleep analysis" and "smart stress management" which sets the Galaxy Fit apart from other affordable wearables.
Because of the way they are designed, the batteries on these fitness trackers can last for several days.
On the software side, the interface is described as "simple and intuitive", with alarms, weather information, and calendar events synced to your wearable's widget directly from your phone without you having to ever reach for your pocket.
Release and Availability
While we know these fitness trackers are meant to be affordable, Samsung has still to reveal an official price for either one. We expect it would be in the $100 range.
Besides unveiling the new Galaxy S10 series and the Galaxy Fold, Samsung also introduced the world to some new wearables, the Galaxy Watch Active, and the Galaxy Fit series.
The Galaxy Watch Active is probably Samsung's sleekest smartwatch to date. Samsung has decided to scrap the popular rotating bezel for a thinner and sleeker one wrapped around the 1.1-inch circular AMOLED display. The rest of the device is made up of its aluminum casing paired with a rubber strap. The Galaxy Watch Active also features two round physical buttons along the right side which replace the previous pill-shaped ones. On the rear is a new glass panel on the rear that houses a heart rate monitor.
Samsung has outfitted the Galaxy Watch Active with a 236mAh battery. In comparison to previous devices, this battery is quite a bit smaller. However, the smaller display size and the new dual-core Exynos 9110 chipset will continue to ensure a full day of use with this wearable.
Completing the entire setup is 4GB of storage paired with Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC support for mobile payments. Unfortunately, the wearable isn’t available with 3G or 4G LTE support.

Software
The Galaxy Watch Action runs the latest version of Tizen OS which brings several UI updates in the hopes to offer a unified experience across Samsung's entire product lineup.
Similar to One UI, which is Samsung’s custom Android skin, this updated version of Tizen relies heavily on dark backgrounds and splashes of color where necessary. This allows the device to fully take advantage of the AMOLED display, turning off the pixels and saving battery life when displaying black colors.
Samsung has opted to focus heavily on the user's health and physical activities. The new version of Tizen highlights three main goals to focus on each day: calories burned, minutes of exercise, and moving each hour. Each of these is tracked with their respective graphs that are highlighted in different colors.
Users will also be able to continuously monitor their heart rates through the day. Moreover, much like the Apple Watch, the Galaxy Watch Active will warn users if it detects any irregularities. Eventually, blood pressure monitoring will be available too through the My BP Lab app. This feature has been jointly developed with the University of California, San Francisco and will be available to download on March 15. Initially, though, only consumers in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Singapore, Australia, and Germany will have access to it.
As expected, Samsung’s latest wearable supports a variety of different workout modes in addition to automatic workout detection. Owners don’t need to worry about getting it wet either as the smartwatch is water resistant up to 50 meters.
Release and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active will be available to purchase in four colors (Silver, Black, Rose Gold, Sea Green) and costs $199.99 in the US. You can pre-order the wearable starting February 21 and shipments will begin on March 8. Those who pre-order it tomorrow will receive a free Wireless Charging Pad.
The Galaxy Watch Active will work with any Android smartphone running Android 5.0 Lollipop with at least 1.5GB of RAM. iPhone users will require an iPhone 5 or higher running iOS 9.0 or greater in order to use it.
