Compared to the slow rollout of One UI 7 earlier this year, One UI 8 has already been a major improvement. Samsung released its Android 16–based One UI 8 update to Galaxy devices in September, just a few months after Android 16's debut, and is now already gearing up for its next major release: One UI 8.5.

Format wars have been going on since the beginning of the home theater industry. Most people are aware of the battle between VHS and Betamax, but there have been many, many similar rivalries over the years, all in the name of becoming the de facto product customers have to turn to, and other electronics firms have to license. There was even a brief time when you could buy an HD DVD player for your Xbox 360 -- which, in retrospect, was a futile attempt to challenge Blu-ray when attempts at an industry-wide standard failed.

There's an odd amount of pressure to get TV specs right, no matter if you're shopping for yourself or others. No one wants to return something that cumbersome, yet no one wants to put up with a TV that's too small, too dim, or ill-equipped for the latest speakers and consoles. You'll save yourself a lot of grief by getting things right the first time.

Whenever I buy an expensive smartphone, my two main concerns right after unboxing are usually damaging it or having it stolen. Smartphones aren't cheap these days, whether you're buying an iPhone or an Android. The iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,200, the Galaxy S25 Ultra $1,300, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 $2,000. However, it seems that smartphone thieves in London aren't aware of how expensive Samsung phones have become.

I'm forever on the quest to find the best streaming services. This is not only because it's a part of my job, but also because I genuinely want to try out as much as I can to see what's worth my time and money. I bought a Samsung Frame TV a few years ago and have loved it. It looks great in our family room, and we frequently use the artwork feature to make our room look nicer.

If there's one thing everyone values on any smartphone, whether it's an Android or an iPhone, it's security. We keep a lot of personal data on our phones nowadays, and the last thing anyone wants is their personal information falling into the wrong hands. However, even though our phones are constantly updated with new firmware and security patches, it's always possible for a security vulnerability to slip through the cracks, and that's unfortunately what recently happened with Samsung.

If you ever went over to a family member's house for a holiday and looked at their TV, you might have noticed things are running a lot smoother than they are on your TV. This is the soap opera effect, and it's something that many people toggle on because it makes their TV look nice. Of course, looking nice varies by person, and if you're like me, you want to stay as far away from the soap opera effect as you can.

Samsung has officially announced the first beta build of its in-house Internet Browser for the Windows 11 platform. Marketed as Samsung Internet for PC, the pre-release browser application will be available to download starting October 30, 2025, but only within the United States and in Samsung's domestic market of South Korea. Curiously, despite Windows 10 no longer receiving mainstream support from Microsoft, Samsung says its browser is also available for Windows 10 users running version 1809 and above.
