33.0 million smartphones were shipped in Europe (excluding Russia) in the first three months of 2026, reports Omdia. This is an increase of 2% compared to the first quarter last year, but there is trouble brewing ahead, say the analysts.
The company is also expected to incorporate its Heat Pass Block (HPB) technology into the Exynos 2700, which could help improve heat dissipation and overall thermal efficiency. Samsung is expected to use the Exynos 2700 in the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+, both of which are likely to launch in early 2027.
Well, as far as cameras are concerned, the answer is "closer to the Flip". According to a report published by GalaxyClub and SamMobile, the Wide will have a 50MP f/1.8 main camera rather than a 200MP sensor like the regular Z Fold. There is a bit of good news - the ultra-wide camera is set to also have a 50MP sensor (with an f/1.9 lens). This will match the Z Fold8 ultra-wide camera and it is better than the rumored Galaxy Z Flip8 camera setup that pairs a 50MP main with only a 12MP ultra-wide.
Sony's home theater products are optimized for its latest-gen gaming console. Compatible Sony TVs and soundbars work together to automatically reduce picture and audio latency and improve picture quality when gaming on the PlayStation 5.
According to the leak, Samsung is currently testing a 200MP main sensor with a variable aperture for its next-generation flagship. This technology allows the camera sensor to physically adjust its aperture based on lighting conditions, improving performance in both bright and low-light scenarios.
Samsung regained the title as the world's number one smartphone brand, thanks to 65.4 million shipments for the period, which represents an 8% rise compared to the same time last year. The Galaxy S26 series is seeing strong demand, and the recently launched Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 are also key contributors to Samsung's 22% market share.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra's 'Circle to Search' feature allows users to identify items online instantly, enhancing the character Jin Chao's ability to fulfill requests quickly.
