These are (likely) all the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra (2025) colorways

It's no longer a big secret that Samsung is preparing to release three different smartwatches next month. And it's already pretty well-known that the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) will look kinda, sorta similar at first glance, sharing a love-it-or-hate-it "squircle" aesthetic introduced with the company's rookie rugged wearable effort around a year ago. But that still leaves plenty of unanswered questions ahead of the next big Unpacked event in July, a bunch of which are unanswered no more if you choose to believe a typically very trustworthy social media leaker today. That's the most predictable detail that could have been revealed in the lead-up to the two's official announcements, and pretty much the same goes for the Watch 8's 40 and 44mm case options. Those are the exact sizes last year's Galaxy Watch 7 are available in, mind you, and the Galaxy Watch 6 was also released in 40 and 44mm variants with and without cellular connectivity back in 2023.

This next-gen rotating bezel-rocking timepiece is instead expected to land in only one XL 46mm size soon, presumably just like the second Galaxy Watch Ultra edition.
As far as colorways go, it's not exactly surprising (or very exciting) to hear that the Galaxy Watch 8 will reportedly be offered in graphite and silver flavors while the Watch 8 Classic is tipped to come painted in good old fashioned black and white hues. The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic , remember, was sold in similar-sounding black and silver paint jobs, but the Galaxy Watch 7 offers slightly flashier green and cream alternatives for its main (and relatively tedious) silver color. Titanium Blue, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Silver. It shouldn't be too hard to picture the second-gen Galaxy Watch Ultra in your head in those three color options, especially after the first edition was released in Titanium Silver and Titanium Gray models, and the upcoming Apple Watch Ultra 2 rival was recently leaked in, you guessed it, a blue flavor.
Of course, it remains to be seen if the 2025 Galaxy Watch Ultra will retain the black and orange bands paired with silver and gray cases respectively on the 2024 generation. While an orange strap would add a little pizazz to the impending rugged smartwatch, it's still sad to hear that the Titanium White colorway (with a matching white band) will probably go away this year.

The specifications will also be pivotal for this bad boy's success, but unfortunately, I can't tell you an awful lot on how Samsung plans to upgrade the first-gen Galaxy Watch Ultra. One interesting spec disclosed today is 64GB internal storage space, which would represent a major improvement over the 32 gigs on the original Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Samsung considering subscription model for Samsung Health

Earlier this week, Samsung announced the One UI 8 Watch, which will debut with the next Galaxy Watch coming in July. The One UI 8 Watch update brings new Samsung Health features, including Bedtime Guidance, Vascular Load, Running Coach, and Antioxidant Index. While Samsung Health features have been free to use until now, things could change going forward as the Korean brand is considering subscription plans for Samsung Health. In an interview with CNET, Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Health at Samsung, revealed that the company is exploring a premium subscription model for Samsung Health, similar to Garmin Connect Plus or Fitbit Premium, which would require Samsung Health users to pay a monthly subscription fee for advanced features. Basic features will likely remain free. These new advanced features, which could require a subscription, might be included free with premium Galaxy Watches (and possibly even Galaxy Rings), while users of older models would have to pay to access them. Right now, the new Samsung Health features introduced with the One UI 8 Watch are available through a beta program in the US and South Korea for watches as old as the Galaxy Watch5 series. However, their availability depends on whether or not your watch has advanced LED sensors. Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro For example, the Vascular Load and Antioxidant Index features are only available on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, while Running Coach will work with the Galaxy Watch7 or later. It's also worth mentioning that Vascular Load and Antioxidant Index are being introduced as Labs features, meaning they are experimental features and are available as early previews before their stable release.

Finally! Lenovo rollable laptop goes on sale after a wild engineering rollercoaster

It's been a minute since we last heard about Lenovo's rollable laptop, but the wait is (almost) over. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, the first of its kind with a vertically expanding screen, now has an official price and release date. It goes on sale June 19 starting at $3,499. Yeah, that is a steep price – but you are also getting something that has never been done before. This laptop takes the whole portability vs productivity struggle and flips it on its head. Built in collaboration with Intel, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 comes with a screen that can literally grow in size – from 14 inches up to 16.7 inches – with a simple hand gesture or a button press. When it is in compact mode, you get a slick 14-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 400 nits of brightness, full DCI-P3 color coverage and a 16:10 aspect ratio. But once you roll it out, that same screen stretches to 16.7 inches and shifts to a portrait-style view, giving you more vertical real estate to play with. Whether you want one massive workspace or two stacked windows, it is designed to adapt to your workflow. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is a result of Intel-Lenovo engineering. According to Intel, building this thing took two years of development and a lot of problem-solving. One major hurdle? Fitting in the two tiny motors that power the rolling screen. These motors displaced other key components – like the circuit board and battery – which had to be redesigned from the ground up. The rollable screen itself uses a plastic-like OLED material, similar to what you'd find on foldable smartphones. Lenovo says it was tested to survive 30,000 lid open/closes and 20,000 screen rolls, so it is not just a fragile concept piece. And there were plenty of behind-the-scenes tech hurdles to figure out: How do you power down the hidden screen section when it's rolled in? How do you keep things cool when that extra screen gets hot while tucked inside? And how do you make the screen transition seamless, with no lag, weird stretching, or stutter? The answer? – Zheng Jiong, Intel's senior director of Customer Engineering, June 2025 This laptop clearly isn't for everyone – but for the right crowd, it could be a game-changer. Lenovo and Intel say it's built for road warriors and anyone tired of carrying around a second monitor. And there are real use cases here. Spreadsheets go from showing 39 lines of data to 66 when unrolled. Coders get more vertical space for lines of code. And if you are multitasking on the go, two 16:9 windows stacked in portrait mode is way more efficient than flipping between tabs. Even apps like Instagram and TikTok just look better in a taller view. Powering all this innovation is the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, backed by up to 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. There's also Microsoft Copilot+ support built-in, along with Lenovo's own AI Now assistant, which runs on-device using local large language models – so you can stay productive even when offline. Connectivity-wise, you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The battery is 66Whr, which should offer a decent run time, though don't expect an all-day battery with the screen fully rolled out. With specs like this, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable isn't just about the cool screen – it's built for serious users. The Core Ultra series, especially the Ultra 7, should handle multitasking like a champ. Whether you're browsing, juggling multiple tabs, or working in Office apps, the experience should be fast and smooth. It is also powerful enough for photo and video editing – even up to 4K – thanks to Intel Arc graphics and that big chunk of RAM. With 32 GB onboard, you should be able to run memory-hungry apps, handle massive files or keep tons of windows open without your laptop breaking a sweat.
