The slim design enhances the device's visual appeal while making sure it remains comfortable to hold and easy to carry, making it a practical choice for users on the go.
This balance between innovative technology and user convenience reflects Samsung's commitment to creating devices that cater to both performance and practicality. The Galaxy S26 Ultra exemplifies how advanced features can be seamlessly integrated into a compact and elegant form factor. Unified Design: Aesthetic Consistency Across Flagships
The Galaxy S26 Ultra's design aligns with a broader trend in Samsung's flagship lineup: aesthetic consistency across devices. The raised camera island mirrors the design of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, creating a cohesive visual identity that ties the two models together.

Japan's Nikkei races to record high, SoftBank leads tech surge
TOKYO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share gauge (.N225), opens new tab powered to an all-time high on Tuesday, driven by sharp gains for tech companies and renewed optimism over trade with the United States. With financial markets reopening after a holiday in Japan on Monday, the stock benchmark caught up with peaks scaled earlier this year by other major global centres. The Nikkei 225 surged 2.2% to 42,718.172 at the bell, the highest close ever. It touched 42,999.71 earlier in the session, exceeding the previous intraday high of 42,426.77 set on July 11, 2024. In a roller-coaster ride in 2024, the Nikkei exceeded a record that had stood since 1989 during Japan's bubble economy. Tokyo's broader Topix (.TOPX), opens new tab gauge has been setting successive record highs since July 24 and also scored a new all-time high on Tuesday, rising 1.4% to close at 3,066.37. The U.S. Standard & Poor's 500 (.SPX), opens new tab and MSCI's broadest gauge of global equities (.MIWD00000PUS), opens new tab have been charting new peaks since June. "The Nikkei was not able to hit a record until today because chip-related shares and auto shares dragged on the index," said Takamasa Ikeda, senior portfolio manager at GCI Asset Management. "The Nikkei could soon peak as technology shares that led Wall Street's rally have slowed down." SoftBank Group soared 6.9% to 14,825 yen, a historic high. The stock has catapulted more than 25% in the past five days and got an added boost after Reuters reported that SoftBank was selecting banks for a U.S. listing of its payments app operator PayPay. Semiconductor industry heavyweights Advantest (6857.T), opens new tab and Lasertec (6920.T), opens new tab jumped 6.3% and 7.1%, respectively. Global stock markets tumbled after U.S. President Donald Trump's April 2 "Liberation Day" announcement of sweeping tariffs on imports from dozens of countries into the U.S. Shares have since more than recouped those losses as trade concerns abated and excitement over artificial intelligence (AI) companies soared. Uncertainty over tariff levels imposed by the U.S. has weighed on shares in Japan, where exports are a key driver for the economy. The U.S. on Thursday promised to amend a presidential executive order to remove overlapping tariffs on Japanese goods. "The impact of U.S. tariffs seems not as serious as the market had expected," said Shoichi Arisawa, general manager of the investment research department at IwaiCosmo Securities. "There will be more companies which will revise up their outlooks due to the limited impact of the U.S. tariffs. The yen remains weak, which is also positive for Japanese companies." Foreign money has been flooding into the Japanese market of late, but data from the Tokyo Stock Exchange last week indicated those flows may have peaked. Overseas investors turned net sellers of Japanese stocks and futures for the first time in 16 weeks in the period ending Aug. 1. They sold a net 342 billion yen ($2.3 billion) of shares and futures, a sharp reversal from net purchases of 1.26 trillion yen in the previous week. ($1 = 148.2400 yen)

Business live: stock markets rise on trade truce and chip deal
China is reported to have urged local companies to avoid using Nvidia's H20 processors, particularly for government-related purposes, in a blow to President Trump's plans to charge Nvidia and AMD for chip sales to the country. • Nvidia and AMD agree deal with Trump to keep China's market open Bloomberg reported that the guidance from Chinese authorities also affects AI accelerators from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Apparently, Beijing is worried that Nvidia chips could have location-tracking and remote shutdown capabilities. It would prefer to use chips make by Chinese companies to reduce reliance on the West. The move makes it harder for Nvidia to recoup revenue lost from the recent restrictions on chip sales. Asian stock markets rose after Washington and Beijing extended a trade truce and technology shares were bolstered by President Trump's deal to allow US chipmakers to sell to China. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose to a record, with technology investor Softbank also rising to a new high. However, Chinese stock markets were mixed: the SSE Composite gained, but Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell. • Trump extends deadline for higher tariffs on China by 90 days Australia's ASX 200 was also trading near a record high hit earlier in the day ahead of a widely expected quarter-point interest rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia. Markets in Europe are expected to open higher, with the FTSE 100 forecast to rise 13 points. However, doubts are growing about whether Trump's talks with Putin will resolve the war in Ukraine.

Breakingviews - China's Nvidia pushback is only just beginning
HONG KONG, Aug 12 (Reuters Breakingviews) - China's relationship with Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab just got messier. Just one month after boss Jensen Huang's rockstar welcome in the People's Republic, state media has blasted the $4.4 trillion chipmaker's popular H20 processors over security concerns. Washington's latest plan to pocket 15% of Nvidia and AMD's (AMD.O), opens new tab high-end China sales will rankle Beijing even more. That puts customers like Tencent ( opens new tab in an awkward spot. Nvidia's lucrative ties with the world's biggest importer of semiconductors have been upended by the trade war, geopolitics and the broader U.S-China rivalry in artificial intelligence. In April, U.S. President Donald Trump effectively banned the company from selling its China-specific H20 AI processor. That decision, which Huang said, opens new tab at the time would result in a $5.5 billion inventory writedown and $15 billion of lost revenue, was soon reversed as part of U.S. concessions to Beijing in exchange for continued supplies of rare earths. That's a huge relief to Nvidia. Sales in China are forecast to surge 185% to roughly $49 billion in the fiscal year to January, per Visible Alpha, and account for nearly a quarter of total revenue. Even that may be conservative: Trump on Monday said he was open to Nvidia selling a scaled-back version of its most advanced Blackwell chip to China. But the outlook is darkening once again. Washington's July "AI Action Plan" called, opens new tab for, among other things, stricter enforcement of export controls including "new and existing location verification features". That prompted China's cyberspace watchdog to summon Nvidia to a meeting. Last week, the U.S. company published, opens new tab a blog post in both English and Chinese reiterating that its chips did not have so-called backdoors, kill switches and spyware. Those assurances have not been enough. A couple of weeks ago the state-owned People's Daily published an opinion piece titled, "Nvidia, how can I trust you?"; that was followed on Sunday by another commentary elsewhere which criticised the H20 as a threat to security, technologically not that advanced and environmentally unfriendly. Worryingly, it concluded that China "certainly had the option not to buy it". It's likely the intended audience is the country's technology giants. Those include Tencent and TikTok-parent ByteDance, which are in the process of submitting applications for H20 chips, Reuters reported last month, citing people familiar with the matter. But Beijing is keen to wean the country off foreign technology and have them buy domestic offerings instead. Moreover, Trump's latest 15% revenue collection deal will result in national champions indirectly handing money to the U.S. government; that will not sit well with President Xi Jinping. The problem is, domestic AI chips from Huawei, Cambricon Technologies ( opens new tab and others still have a long way to catch up to Nvidia's. And Huang has another formidable edge: its programming platform, CUDA, hosts many apps, frameworks and AI software that have become the industry's standard, making it hard and costly for customers to leave. Chinese unease toward Nvidia will only rise, but the country does not have much choice for now. Follow Robyn Mak on X, opens new tab.
