Samsung has officially announced its next Galaxy Unpacked event, scheduled for Monday, May 12 at 8 PM ET. As expected, the event will mark the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which Samsung has described as 'both a powerful AI companion and an engineering marvel.'
The virtual event will be livestreamed on Samsung's Newsroom, website, and YouTube channel. We'll also include the stream on our site and bring you news of key developments from the showcase.

While Samsung didn't give away too many details about hardware in its announcement, we already know what to expect. The slender Galaxy S25 Edge is anticipated to have a thickness of around 5.85mm, with leaks suggesting it will feature a 6.7-inch QHD AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Like the rest of the Galaxy S25 family, it is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and come with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.
The device will also likely sport a dual-camera setup, with Samsung confirming that it will include a 200MP wide lens. While its slim profile may only house a 3,900mAh battery, we expect it to offer IP68 water and dust resistance.
Pricing details are yet to be confirmed, but leaks indicate that the Galaxy S25 Edge could be priced similarly to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Estimates based on leaked Canadian prices range from around $1,200 to $1,340 USD, depending on your chosen configuration.

Uber is launching a new Creative Studio for brands
BY Everyday, Uber books more than 30 million rides around the world. Each of these trips tells the company something about its customers. Where they're going, what they're doing, and when they are there. Then there are the tens of millions of Uber Eats orders processed each day, which clocks what people are buying, how often, and when. Combined, you have an incredibly valuable collection of data for other brands to use in order to get our attention. Now, Uber is officially launching its own in-house Creative Studio to help brands to do exactly that. The new division of Uber Advertising will be working with brands to create not only adds on its digital platform, but custom IRL experiences like special ride offers, giveaways, and more. Uber's global head of sales Megan Ramm says that this is more about formalizing something brands have been asking for given how the company's platform is such a natural bridge between our online and offline lives. 'Uber is where we feel culture shows up in real life,' says Ramm. 'When something big is happening in the world, we see it on Uber. If it's an event or a product drop, a concert, or even coming home from the office, it's all happening in real life. And we're seeing that's when and how brands want to connect with people that are using the platform.' The rapid rise of retail media networks in recent years is well-documented. Everything from store shelves to ecommerce apps have become media opportunities for advertising. Dentsu research has reported that 75% of US consumers are influenced by brands advertised in-store, and eMarketer reported that U.S. Retail Media Ad spending was up by $4 billion in 2024. This new offering from Uber makes perfect sense. The company has already long utilized the captive audience on its apps as a vehicle for brands to get our attention, now it's expanding that to actually working to craft a wider variety of ways for brands to do just that. The extended deadline for Fast Company's Brands That Matter Awards is this Friday, June 6, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

BP Puts AI at the Heart of Its Efforts to Boost Performance
When engineers prepare to drill for oil, they know the spot deep underground where the well must end and can choose their starting point, but there are many possible routes in between.

Now, through BP Plc 's technology center in Houston, a new AI-powered tool is dramatically streamlining the process and running thousands of scenarios to determine the best trajectory.
