Back in February, Samsung told The Verge that global shortages of RAM and other materials, combined with tariffs, made a "significant contribution" to the price hike. But the company may be preparing another wave of price increases for its Galaxy flagship smartphones, according to a new report suggesting rising component costs and AI-related hardware demands are continuing to pressure the mobile industry.

Samsung Malaysia have confirmed that their upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will happen in San Francisco on 26 February 2026. According to them, it will focus on AI that is truly personal and adaptive and will feature the latest Samsung Galaxy S26 series of devices.

Yes, you read that right. This isn't just some survey from a media outlet, but by Samsung itself. A recent survey of users of Samsung Galaxy phones has found that while many recognise flaws in their photos, a surprisingly large share never use the phone’s built-in AI editing features.

The release of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 marks yet another milestone for Samsung - demonstrating its relentless pursuit of refining AI experiences not just for bar-type smartphones, but reimagining them for the foldable form factor in ways that are both novel and deeply meaningful.

To shed light on Samsung’s vision for intuitive, seamless, and human-centred AI, Matthew Ng, Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Malaysia Electronics, shares the thinking that shaped the quintessential Galaxy AI experience.

Samsung Electronics has begun the official rollout of One UI 8, bringing new AI-powered features, improved UI flexibility, and stronger privacy protections to a broad range of its Galaxy devices. Starting with the Galaxy S25 series this week, more eligible phones and foldables will receive the update later in the year.

As President Donald Trump threatens to impose a 25% tariff on any smartphone not manufactured in the US, this could spell a big problem for Samsung Galaxy devices. According to reports, Galaxy users could see prices rising by 40% if the proposed import tariff is implemented.

If you thought you'd heard the end of Donald Trump's tariffs, think again. Last week, the US President claimed he told Apple's Tim Cook to not build iPhones in India. Trump wants all smartphones to be built in the US, and he's prepared to impose a new tariff to get his way.

Yesterday, the new One UI 7 software update was supposed to roll out globally, but it seems that Samsung pulled the plug. While Samsung did not make any official announcement as to why it was stopped, sources said it was due to a serious bug.

Editor's note: Due to a serious bug, Samsung has paused the update for now until the bug is fixed. Read the news about it here. 

Finally after a month, Samsung has rolled out the latest One UI 7 update in Malaysia. Starting today (14 April 2025), the new software update will be available starting with the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. in a press release today announced the rollout of a new AI experience with Gemini Live which debuts real-time visual conversations with AI to Galaxy users. The new features have been rolling out since yesterday starting with the Galaxy S25 series and are available for use free of charge.
