Save $50 on the next-gen Galaxy Z foldables with Samsung US's early reservation campaign

GSM Arena27-06-2025
The next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 9 and it will bring Samsung's next generation foldables. While you wait, you can take part in Samsung US's early reservation campaign.
The company does this for every major launch – if you sign up for a reminder, you will get $50 Samsung Credit to use when you buy a Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 or Z Flip7 FE (assuming the latter is available in the US, of course). You can rack up to $1,150 of additional savings (which is usually a trade-in deal). Finally, there is a chance to win $5,000 in Samsung Credit.
Note that there is no obligation to buy anything – you will get an email when the Z-foldables go on pre-order, but you can just ignore it (you will lose the $50 Credit if you do). This sign up is just that, an email reminder.
If that sounds good, sign up on Samsung.com or using the Shop Samsung app. You will need to enter your name and email.

Samsung unveils world's first Micro RGB display technology

Samsung is billing Micro RGB as the next big thing for TVs, saying it delivers "exceptional color accuracy with sub-100-micrometer LEDs". Samsung's first product using this tech is a 115" display that you can see below. It uses Samsung's proprietary Micro RGB technology, which arranges individually controlled red, green, and blue micro RGB LEDs in an ultra-fine pattern behind the panel. This architecture "enables precision control over each red, green, and blue RGB LED", Samsung says. Everything is of course powered by an AI engine, which analyzes each frame in real time and optimizes color output. Micro RGB Color Booster Pro recognizes scenes with dull color tones and "enhances" the colors across all content "for a more vivid and immersive viewing experience". There's also "a smarter Bixby" built-in, powered by generative AI, and the display is secured by Knox. Thanks to Micro RGB Precision Color, the display achieves 100% coverage of BT.2020, and Glare Free technology minimizes reflections even in bright lighting conditions. Samsung promises seven years of updates for the Tizen OS. The Micro RGB display is first launching in Korea, then will make it to the US later. There are also plans for a global rollout "featuring a variety of sizes to meet customer needs". Source

This could be Galaxy S26 Ultra's most unnecessary upgrade: yet it might actually matter a lot to you

The Galaxy S25 Ultra for reference. | Image by PhoneArena Galaxy S25 Ultra Galaxy S26 Ultra How is this possible? S26 Ultra But why not strive for faster RAM? S26 Ultra Nobody asked for this, but it could turn out sweet Galaxy S26 Ultra S26 Ultra Once upon a time, I was pretty sure that every new phone was at least 2x better than its predecessor in every imaginable way; I've long parted with that pipe dream. For example, thewas not a dramatic improvement over the Galaxy S24 Ultra , but truth to be told, I'm really curious about the Galaxy S26 Ultra Phones made incredible leaps in terms of performance, durability, screens, and whatnot in the last 15 years, so it's really hard to innovate these days. That's why the widespread perception is that smartphones have generally allegedly challenge that view by incorporating super-duper, giga-mega fast RAM At first reading, that sounds… underwhelming. Faster RAM. Is that it? Frankly, considering the S25 Ultra is already lightning-quick, my first reaction was a shrug. I don't need apps to open in the blink of an eye when they already open in… the blink of an here's where it gets interesting. This rumored RAM upgrade might not just be about speed. If the leaks are correct, the new chips will be physically thinner. That matters because every fraction of a millimeter inside a smartphone is prime real in this case, thinner RAM could free up precious space for something we actually care about: a bigger battery. That suddenly turns this "meh" upgrade into a potentially great expected to move from LPDDR5X RAM based on Micron's 1β (1-beta) process technology to a new 1γ (1-gamma) generation. On paper, this is a speed bump – from 9.6 Gbps to 10.7 Gbps. But the bigger story is in how that's achieved. The 1γ process shrinks the manufacturing scale, making the chips smaller, more power-efficient, and physically thinner – around 0.61mm thick compared to their size reduction doesn't sound dramatic, but in smartphone engineering, it's huge. A slightly slimmer RAM module can mean a larger cavity inside the phone. That's space Samsung could use for a bigger vapor chamber, an upgraded camera sensor… or, most importantly, a bigger top of that, 1γ RAM is said to deliver up to 20% better energy efficiency than 1β. That means not only could a larger battery fit, but the phone might sip power more slowly – stretching battery life even the thing: RAM speed is already so far ahead of what everyday phone use demands that chasing more of it feels like polishing an already sparkling set of silver cutlery. The S25 Ultra launches apps in well under a second. Even if theshaves that time by 0.1 seconds, you'll never notice it outside a benchmark faster RAM matters for extreme workloads – think high-resolution video editing or certain AI processing tasks – but for 99% of the stuff most of us do, the benefit is live in a time where performance is so good that gains in raw speed don't translate into better day-to-day experiences the way they once did. What matters more now is efficiency and endurance. And that's where this RAM upgrade could quietly batteries, however, are so cool. I love the idea of a phone that just doesn't need to see a charger every night. Sure, we're surrounded by outlets and fast chargers, but there's something deeply satisfying about going more than a day without worrying about your battery Galaxy S Ultra line has been sitting at the 5,000 mAh mark for years now. Meanwhile, Chinese competitors have been crossing the 6,000 mAh threshold, with some models delivering astonishing screen-on yes, by itself, "faster RAM" in theleaves me cold. I'm not sitting here dreaming about shaving milliseconds off opening Instagram. But if this new RAM is thinner and more efficient, that's a different story. It could allow Samsung to squeeze in a larger battery while simultaneously reducing power that's what happens, then thewould be more than just the S25 Ultra in new clothes. It would be a flagship with an upgrade that actually changes how you live with it, even if it hides behind a spec sheet line most people would normally ignore.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025): Expected differences

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to show its pretty face in about a month's time, and we're pretty excited about what the top-of-the-line wearable has in store for us. On the other hand, Samsung already showed its hand with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and even though the 2025 update didn't bring much to the table beside a new color and more storage, it's still a very competitive is the reason why we've decided to pit these two against each other in this comparison. Both devices stand on the top of their respective food chains, and both aim to deliver the absolute best smartwatch experience to their owners. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to bring some interesting upgrades, such as hypertension detection, a new and powerful chipset, a bigger screen, and also a bigger battery. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is a known entity, offering a big and bright 3000-nit display, great battery life, and some of the most comprehensive health metrics on the market. So, who will win the Ultra smartwatch crown? Rectangular 40% brighter display LTPO3 OLED on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs Circular 3000-nit display on the Galaxy Watch Ultra vs Circular 3000-nit display on the Galaxy Watch Ultra LTPO3 OLED on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs regular (no variable refresh rate) on the Galaxy Watch Ultra vs regular (no variable refresh rate) on the Galaxy Watch Ultra Hypertension metric on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) Index on the Galaxy Watch Ultra vs AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) Index on the Galaxy Watch Ultra New Apple S11 SiP chipset (potentially) on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs Exynos W1000 (3 nm) on the Galaxy Watch Ultra vs Exynos W1000 (3 nm) on the Galaxy Watch Ultra Satellite and 5G connectivity on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs LTE connectivity on the Galaxy Watch Ultra vs LTE connectivity on the Galaxy Watch Ultra Faster charging expected on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs 1 hour and 20 minutes for a full charge of the Galaxy Watch Ultra *based on leaks and rumors When Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra back in 2024, many people thought the device looked similar to the Apple Watch Ultra. We don't think that's the case; Samsung created its own design for the rugged smartwatch—a circle inside a square (a squircle if you like), and it's quite a distinct Galaxy Watch Ultra comes in one size (47.4 mm), and it's made of titanium. There's sapphire crystal on top of the display for extra protection; it has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, so only diamond-like objects can scratch it. The weight of the watch is around 60 grams, but with the rather hefty band included, it fattens up to 93 grams! That's a lot of weight on your wrist. Another key design difference is the lack of a rotating crown on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The device relies on two buttons for navigation and an additional customizable Quick Button. Onto the Apple Watch Ultra 3 . Now, we're into the speculation territory here, but we have a lot of leaked and rumored info about the Apple Watch Ultra 3 . We expect the design to stay largely unchanged compared to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The bigger screen that's expected could result in an even larger size; the previous model measured 49 x 44 mm and weighed around 62 grams, so we expect the same ballpark for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 . Material-wise, the same titanium + sapphire crystal sandwich is expected on the Ultra 3, so it's pretty similar to what Samsung is doing with the Galaxy Watch Ultra in that regard.
