Samsung Galaxy F56 5G launched in India: Know what's new
The Samsung Galaxy F56 5G comes with the same 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. However, it offers 1200nits brightness, which is slightly higher than Galaxy F55's 1000nits peak brightness. Samsung has also reduced the thickness of the smartphone from 7.8mm to 7.2mm.
This year, Samsung has shifted from the Snapdragon chipset for its F series models to its in-house chips. Therefore, the Galaxy F56 5G is powered by the Exynos 1480 processor paired with 8GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB internal storage. The smartphone also features a vapour cooling chamber for heat dissipation.
The rear camera remains the same with 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro lens. However, the selfie camera has been downgraded from 50MP to 12MP. Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy F56 5G offers a similar 5000mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging. Samsung is also offering 6 years of OS upgrade, which is one year additional than the predecessor.
The Samsung Galaxy F56 5G is launched at a starting price of Rs.27999 for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variants. This also showcased Rs.1000 price hike from last year's Galaxy F55 model. The smartphone will be available in two colourways, Green and Violet, and it will be available to purchase on Samsung.com, online stores and offline retail stores as well.

How to prevent your phone from overheating this summer
The summer holidays are here and many of us will heading off on trips to hot and sunny destinations, and bringing our electronic devices along. But don't forget that phones, tablets and other electronics are vulnerable to extreme heat. Southern European nations like Spain, Italy and Greece have been baking under the sun, while forecasters have consistently issued heat advisories across the United States, particularly in the Southeast. Here's what device makers and experts say on keeping your electronics cool: Most electronic devices work best in a specific temperature range. Apple says iPhones and iPads are designed to be used in temperatures between 32-95 degrees Fahrenheit (0-35 degrees Celsius). A device might change its behavior to deal with extreme temperatures, Apple warns. 'Using an iOS or iPadOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.' Your phone might temporarily warm up if you're charging wirelessly, downloading big files, streaming high-quality video or doing anything else that requires lots of power or data. Samsung says that's normal and it won't affect the performance or battery lifespan. If your phone gets so hot that it becomes uncomfortable to hold, Samsung recommends that you stop using it. An overheating iPhone will alert users with a warning message that it needs to cool down before it can be used. Android devices will display a similar message, telling user that the screen will dim, apps will be closed and charging will be paused. There are things you can do to protect your device from high heat. Don't leave it in a car on hot day and don't leave it in direct sunlight for long. Apple also warns against using some features when it's very hot or in direct sunlight for long periods, like GPS navigation when driving, playing a graphics-heavy video game or using the camera. Google, which makes Pixel Android phones, advises users not to use resource-intensive features or apps while charging. The best thing you can do in extreme heat is turn off your device completely. 'Even background processes can generate heat,' say experts at British electronics chain Curry's. 'A full shutdown helps it cool faster.' Remove the case, if your phone or tablet has one, because they can trap heat. Also keep it out of direct sunlight and put it somewhere cool, like an air-conditioned room or in front of a fan. But be careful about putting it in cool places. 'Never put your device in the fridge or freezer, as condensation can cause water damage,' Curry's says.

According to a report from 9To5Google, the beta build is now reaching Galaxy S24 series smartphones as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. This follows Samsung's earlier confirmation that the One UI 8 beta would extend to more smartphones later in August, with a stable release planned for eligible models in September. One UI 8 beta expands to more Galaxy devices Samsung first introduced One UI 8 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE last month, with the beta initially available for the Galaxy S25 lineup.

Samsung One UI 8: What is new The latest One UI version brings Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), a new privacy safeguard for on-device AI processes. KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage zones so each app can only access its own sensitive data, boosting both privacy and data isolation. Knox Matrix has also been updated to better secure connected devices. If a device is marked as high-risk, it will automatically log out of the linked Samsung Account. In addition to security upgrades, One UI 8 enhances Galaxy AI features for foldables. On Galaxy Z Fold models, people get tools like side-by-side editing, show original, suggest erases, Photo Assist, Generative Edit, AI results view, and drag-and-drop AI content. For flip-style foldables, Galaxy AI is optimised for the FlexWindow cover display. Gemini Live brings Google's conversational AI directly to the small screen, while Now Bar and Now Brief provide context-based prompts and summaries. Photography also gets a boost with real-time filters, a zoom slider, and dual preview support on the FlexWindow.
