The long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to compete with the Apple Watch Ultra 2. And on at least one point, Samsung’s ultra smartwatch could beat the one from Apple. According to 91Mobiles, the Galaxy Watch Ultra could be priced as low as $699. If correct, this would make it $100 less than the current Apple Watch Ultra.

Additionally, 91Mobile has published a list of the proposed colors for both the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra.

The Galaxy Watch 7 is expected to come in three colors: Marble Gray, Cream White, and Forest Green. This diverges from the Gold and Graphite versions available for the current Galaxy Watch 6. The upcoming model, which has also been rumored for a while, will have 40mm and 44mm sizes and will start at $299, just like its predecessor.

The Galaxy S25’s lock screen will have its own AI assistant

Samsung has given us an early look at one of the big software features we can expect on the Galaxy S25 series. It’s called the Now Bar, and Samsung shared some details about it when it released the beta version of One UI 7. Now, we’ve got a lot more details and a better idea of how it fits in with Samsung’s big AI vision.

The Now Bar will live on the lock screen and show personalized data about your day and activities. Samsung states it’s where you will “control your entertainment, time your next personal best workout, get directions to your next meeting, or start communicating in other languages.” It doesn't specifically say the Now Bar is an AI assistant, but when it goes into more detail about what it can do, it certainly begins to sound like one.

Although Samsung has tons of features that give it an edge against the iPhone, its lineup of phones has never sported MagSafe without the use of a third-party case. A new leak suggests that might be about to change thanks to multiple first-party accessories, including a so-called 'Magnet Case.'

According to well-known tipster Max Jambor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 will be releasing alongside a line of magnetic and non-magnetic accessories, including the Standing Grip Case, Kindsuit Case, Ultra Clear Case, Silicone Case, Rugged Case, and the Magnet Case. He also said Samsung will have a magnetic wallet, although we haven't yet learned what it will be called.

This was a big year for Google thanks to the arrival of the Pixel 9 lineup. Not only did we get the return of the XL size, but Google also launched the second generation of its foldable, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Though it was late to the foldable game, Google’s second iteration of a folding phone is a huge improvement over the original Google Pixel Fold. It’s thinner, opens flat without issue, is ergonomic, and has a fantastic inner screen and a redesigned camera module. It just feels great overall.
