Samsung s first big launch of is right around the corner Galaxy Unpacked is confirmed for January at PM ET in San Jose CA where Samsung s Next Big Thing to borrow a year old marketing slogan will be revealed What exactly will be on tap Well apart from a few sure bets and some likely leaks only those sworn to a blood oath under an NDA know for certain But here are the most likely products and features we ll see Spoilers There will be phones Galaxy S S and S UltraGalaxy S UltraSam Rutherford for EngadgetMuch like Apple reveals its latest iPhones at its first fall event Samsung typically launches its mainline Galaxy S flagships at its first Unpacked shindig of the year You can bet the farm that there will be Galaxy S phones at this event And given Samsung s recent trend of launching three tiers of flagships ーstandard Plus and Ultra ーyou can bet we ll see that again Samsung could technically change the brand names but the three layered lineup is practically guaranteed There s even an FCC certification first spotted by Mobiles to dispel any doubts The degree of certainty falls sharply once we dig into the phones features A subtle redesign with rounded corners flatter edges and thinner bezels appears likely based on a leaked video posted to Reddit and images from reputable tipster Ice Universe But this isn t expected to be the generation where Samsung s hiring of a former Mercedes Benz designer will lead to drastic aesthetic changes Android Headlines also posted plenty of pictures of the purported Galaxy S S and S Ultra that confirm the relatively minor redesign The site also claims the screen size for the Galaxy S and S are unchanged from last year at and inches respectively The Ultra gets an ever so slightly bigger display at inches QualcommAt least in the US the phone is practically guaranteed to use Qualcomm s Snapdragon Elite processor which the chip maker revealed in October Qualcomm even listed Samsung among the companies launching devices with that processor in the coming weeks Like just about every flagship processor these days the Snapdragon Elite is built for on device generative AI which aligns with Samsung s Galaxy AI blitz in recent models We don t know whether the company will split its S processors between Snapdragon US and other markets and Exynos everywhere else but Ice Universe has claimed it will be all Snapdragon this generation That would be a good thing given what s often a glaring performance and battery life disparity favoring Qualcomm There would be precedence too although the vast majority of Galaxy S generations have had different processors regionally the S had the same Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen for Galaxy chip globally Samsung is rumored to stick with last generation OLED displays made with M organic materials instead of the brighter and more efficient M OLED panels used in the iPhone Pro and Google Pixel Logic suggests Samsung would want its best homemade screen in its best phones ーespecially when its competitors are already using it But it could stick with the cheaper panels to keep the bill of materials down Perhaps it calculated that better displays don t make for better generative AI the obsession of nearly every tech company right now while the latest Qualcomm chip does Speaking of AI expect Samsung to devote a perhaps agonizingly long portion of the event to generative AI features The hit or miss DigiTimes reported last month that the Galaxy S series will include an AI Agent that provides personalized clothing suggestions and transport information What that would look like in practice is anyone s guess but I m not sure I want to know SamsungThe phones will run Samsung s One UI on top of Android We know this because Samsung said in October that its user experience based on Android will launch on the next Galaxy S flagships It s already available in beta for Galaxy S phones Samsung has said that One UI will be its first integrated AI platform It added that Galaxy phones will become true AI companions that are able to understand natural language derived from speech images and text On the camera front Ice Universe claims via Android Headlines it s confirmed that only the ultra wide sensor will see an upgrade in the Galaxy S Ultra ーto MP from MP in last year s model The leaker says the S Ultra will stick with a MP main sensor MP x zoom and MP x zoom Galaxy S UltraSam Rutherford for EngadgetSamsung will add the Qi wireless charging standard to its new flagships ーand that comes straight from the horse s aka the Wireless Power Consortium s mouth However leaker chunvn aka yawn says Samsung s phones won t have built in magnets for Qi s native MagSafe in everything but name charging Given that s the main benefit of Qi this would be disappointing news Instead the leaker says Samsung will sell a first party case with a Qi magnetic ring to enable that Gotta move those accessories baby Is it really Qi if you need a case nbsp Rumors have buzzed about an alleged Galaxy S Slim with a ーyou guessed it ーslimmer design joining the trio at some point this year That s something Apple is also rumored to be working on However given the FCC certifications only appear to cover the familiar trio of flagships that phone if it s in the pipeline at all may not arrive until later in the year Galaxy Ring Samsung XR and AR glassesGalaxy RingSam Rutherford for EngadgetDigiTimes reported in December that Samsung would show off or maybe just tease the Galaxy Ring and augmented reality AR glasses during its January Unpacked event The Taiwanese publication says the Galaxy Ring will add two more sizes to the nine from the original model which only launched in July The second gen wearable health tracker is said to add new AI features surprise and updated sensors for more accurate measurements The Galaxy Ring is also rumored to last longer than the current model s maximum of seven days GoogleDigiTimes also claims Samsung s AR glasses ーwhich the company has confirmed it s working on ーwill look like regular prescription glasses and weigh around g It says the futuristic glasses would use Google s Gemini AI which aligns with what we already know about Samsung s partnership with Google and Qualcomm on Android XR But given the lack of supply chain rumors surrounding the glasses it s likely that any mention at the event would amount to little more than a teaser a la its grand reveal of a stinkin render for the first Galaxy Ring at Unpacked We also know Samsung is co developing an Android XR extended reality headset ーcodenamed Project Moohan ーalongside Google and Qualcomm The lightweight and ergonomically designed headset will have a state of the art display passthrough video and natural multi modal input Google s renderings show a wearable reminiscent of Apple s Vision Pro Project MoohanGoogle SamsungSince Google only recently began offering a developer kit and API for the platform any glimpse of it at Unpacked wouldn t likely include an imminent release or deep dive into its hardware Engadget will have full coverage of Samsung s first Unpacked event of More to come on January Update January PM ET This story has been updated with purported images and more details on the Galaxy S S and S Ultra from Android Headlines Update January PM ET This story has been updated with some more information about One UI Update

Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban |

The Supreme Court has sided with the Biden Administration on a law that could ban TikTok in the coming days In a unanimous ruling the court upheld the law writing in an unsigned opinion that TikTok s scale and susceptibility to foreign adversary control together with the vast swaths of sensitive data the platform collects justify differential treatment to address the Government s national security concerns The ruling marks the end of TikTok s many legal challenges to a law passed last spring that requires ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States It comes amid mounting tensions between the US and China and just days after the Biden Administration moved to restrict the export of GPUs used for AI applications TikTok s future however remains uncertain White House officials said Thursday that the Biden Administration would not enforce the ban on President Joe Biden s last day in office Incoming President Donald Trump who will be sworn in one day after the ban is supposed to take effect has suggested he wants to save the app That s caused some speculation that he could instruct the Justice Department not to enforce the law or find some other arrangement that would allow the app to remain accessible nbsp The Supreme Court decision was expected and everyone must respect it Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social My decision on TikTok will be made in the not too distant future but I must have time to review the situation He also said that he had discussed TikTok with China s Xi Jinping on Friday but did not provide details Earlier in the week The Washington Post reported that Trump was considering an executive order that would give TikTok an additional or days to comply with the law TikTok CEO Shou Chew is expected to attend Trump s inauguration where he will sit alongside Mark Zuckerberg Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk nbsp In a brief statement shared on TikTok Chew thanked Trump but didn t say whether the app would go dark this weekend when the ban goes into effect I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps TikTok available in the United States he said This is a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship Representatives for TikTok Google Apple and Oracle which hosts TikTok s US data have not responded to questions about their plans to comply with the law In a concurring opinion Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding TikTok s future Even what might happen next to TikTok remains unclear he wrote All I can say is that at this time and under these constraints the problem appears real and the response to it not unconstitutional Free speech groups have denounced the law and the Supreme Court s decision to uphold it The Supreme Court s ruling is incredibly disappointing allowing the government to shut down an entire platform and the free speech rights of so many based on fear mongering and speculation Patrick Toomey deputy director of ACLU s National Security Project said in a statement By refusing to block this ban the Supreme Court is giving the executive branch unprecedented power to silence speech it doesn t like increasing the danger that sweeping invocations of national security will trump our constitutional rights The Electronic Frontier Foundation a digital rights group said in a statement that the ban or forced sale of one social media app will do virtually nothing to protect Americans data privacy only comprehensive consumer privacy legislation can achieve that goal TikTok users have also vocally opposed the ban Before the law was passed legions of fans called their Congressional representatives offices urging them to not support the bill The move may have had unintended consequences as some members of Congress accused TikTok which had encouraged users to make the calls of interfering with the legislative process More recently TikTok fans have pushed a number of previously unknown apps including a Chinese social media app known as RedNote or Xiaohongshu to the top of the app stores as they search for alternatives Update January AM PT This post has been updated to add details from a statement made by Shou Chew This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
