Samsung is not selling The Frame Pro for cheap
The major upgrade The Frame Pro offers over the original The Frame is a 4K Neo QLED display and the Wireless One Connect Box. Samsung's Neo QLED displays use MiniLEDs to offer improved brightness and local dimming. To better sell the illusion that The Frame Pro is a picture frame, the Wireless One Connect Box lets you hide the cables you'd normally plug into your TV in a cabinet, and wirelessly transmit their inputs directly to your display. For those upgrades, plus the included NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor, The Frame Pro is $2,199 for a 65-inch model, $3,199 for a 75-inch model and $4,299 for the 85-inch model. Samsung says an 83-inch model will be available at a later date.
The changes to The Frame are more modest. The TV now sports a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and also comes with the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor. The chip powers video upscaling on top of AI-powered features like "Click to Search," the ability to look up an actor's bio while watching something, and "Live Translate," the ability to generate real-time captions of whatever you're watching in another language. If you want The Frame, you'll pay $899 for the 43-inch model, $1,099 for the 50-inch model, $1,299 for the 55-inch model and $1,799 for the 65-inch model.
The updates to Samsung's more traditional OLED TVs vary depending on the series and size you purchase, but all of the new TVs support Samsung's AI-powered features. The S95F comes with the NQ4 AI Gen3, a new glare-free display, Samsung's "brightest-ever OLED screen" and the Motion Xcelerator 165Hz feature for smooth gameplay during demanding video games. The S90F gets the same chip and Motion Xcelerator 144Hz (for a slightly lower refresh rate) and the S85F uses the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor and Motion Xcelerator 120Hz. The S95F starts at $2,299, with sizes that range from 55 inches to 75 inches. The S90F starts at $1,299 for the 42-inch model and can go up to 83 inches. The S85F, meanwhile, starts at $1,499 for the 55-inch model and also goes up to 83 inches.
All of Samsung's new TVs are available to order today, and the company is guaranteeing seven years of software updates to the TVs' One UI Tizen operating system when you purchase.

Samsung's upcoming iPhone 16e rival is shaping up to be a value champion
Samsung's next flagship is also getting the slimmed-down treatment, following in the footsteps of the Galaxy S25 Edge and its latest foldable phone. But it seems the thinner waistline and 11% lighter weight profile on the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE will come with an odd mix of upgrades and expected downgrades in tow. Though the design remains identical, the Galaxy S25 FE will reportedly be thinner (7.4mm vs 8mm), according to SammyGuru. Another notable upgrade is the front camera, which is reportedly getting a more powerful 12-megapixel sensor, similar to the mainline Galaxy S25 smartphone. The build is going to be IP68-certified for dust and water resistance, while Gorilla Glass Victus will shield the device. The Galaxy S24 FE received some flak for its 'cheap and hollow' in-hand feel. We are hoping that with a thinner and lighter form factor, Samsung has also paid some attention to the build quality on its successor. What could set it apart? As per leaks account @MysteryLupin, the upcoming Fan Edition phone by Samsung will come fitted with a smaller 4,500 mAh battery. For comparison, the Galaxy S24 FE is equipped with a 4,700mAh battery. The difference is not huge, but it appears Samsung will make it worth the sacrifice. 6.7″ AMOLED, 120Hz Exynos 2400, One UI 8 50MP/12MP/8MP, 12MP front 4,500mAh battery, 45W wired, 15W wireless IP68, Gorilla Glass Victus, 190g — Arsène Lupin (@MysteryLupin) August 1, 2025 The latest leak claims 45W wired charging capability on the upcoming phone, up from 25W charging limit on its predecessor. To recall, Samsung only offers 45W charging on its top-end phones, such as the $1,299 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. For comparison, the Galaxy S25 FE is going to cost nearly half as much. Recommended Videos In addition to faster wired top-up, the next Samsung 'budget flagship' will retain 15W wireless charging and the ability to juice up other devices using reverse wireless power share. From the looks of it, Samsung's next could easily beat Apple's iPhone 16e on practical merits. What else is on the table? On the software side, it will run Android 16-based One UI 8 software out of the box. So far, the latest One UI skin is only available on Samsung's 2025 foldable phones, while the S25 series phones are still awaiting their turn after the beta testing kicked into action a few weeks ago. As for the rest of the hardware, it seems not much is going to change, save for the year-on-year silicon upgrade. The Galaxy S25 FE is said to get the Exynos 2400 processor, which is slightly more powerful than the Exynos 2400e chip inside its predecessor. Over at the front, the phone will reportedly feature a familiar 6.7-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. In the imaging department, it will likely offer a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel sensor for ultrawide capture, and a 10-megapixel sensor for long-range photography. If the price remains unchanged, somehow, the Galaxy S25 FE will have no trouble outshining the iPhone 16e at a $50 premium. So far, Samsung hasn't made any official announcement regarding the Galaxy S25 FE, but given the past launch history, we're expecting a market arrival in the coming weeks.

New Galaxy S26 Leak Hints At Samsung's Battery Plan
Samsung made a big deal about how slim the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is. It made a slightly smaller hoopla about the battery size, pointing out that the device kept the same battery from the Fold 6 despite the new svelte frame. Clearly, there's scope for Samsung to take advantage of its component shrinking technology and use that freed-up space for a bigger battery. But will it for future phones? A confusing new Galaxy S26 leak doesn't provide a clear answer. In case you missed it, Samsung shrunk several components and created a new motherboard to make the ultra-slim Galaxy S25 Edge. That included a new mounting system—that allowed components to be placed closer together on the motherboard— alongside a new heat management system. The 200MP camera, too, was redesigned to be 10% slimmer via 'structural optimization of the autofocus and optical image stabilization,' as Samsung describes it. Alongside a two-layer camera housing design that reduces the height of the sensor. The result is a Galaxy S25 Edge that measures 5.2mm versus the Galaxy S25 Ultra's 8.2mm. That same technology made it into the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which made it possible to release a smaller phone with a battery the same size as the Galaxy Z Fold 6, a 1.4 mm-thicker phone. A new Galaxy S26 leak from Dutch publication Galaxy Club reveals that the base Galaxy S26 (bafflingly rumoured to be named the 'Galaxy S26 Pro') and Galaxy S26 Edge will both have larger batteries. According to Galaxy Club, The Galaxy S26 Pro will have a 4300mAh battery, up from 4000mAh on the Galaxy S25. The Galaxy S26 Edge, which is rumoured to replace the Galaxy Plus model, will sport a 4200mAh power pack, up from the Galaxy S25 Edge's 3900mAh battery. If accurate, that means the base model will have a bigger battery than the Plus option, despite being historically smaller. The base Galaxy S26 may be larger than the Galaxy S26 Edge, hence the difference in battery size. Adding 'pro' to the base unit's name suggests something has changed. Or, it's possible that Samsung isn't using its new component shrinking technology in all Galaxy S26 units. This is also entirely feasible and equally as baffling because Samsung has used this technology in its two recent releases, the Edge and Galaxy Z Fold 7. As I mentioned, the company has put this new method of building phones front and center to the media, going as far as to say that the 'Galaxy S25 Edge marks the next chapter in mobile innovation.' It will almost certainly be redeployed again, but perhaps only for certain premium phones. Samsung's New Strategy? Slim Phones Versus Bigger Batteries Samsung's redesign of the 200MP camera to save space is a big clue that this new technology will be reserved for its most expensive phones. Only the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy S25 Edge, and Galaxy S25 Ultra house that sensor. It looks like Samsung's focus is on using this new technology to make premium phones slimmer. It's not clear if the mid-range models, like the Galaxy S26 Pro base unit, will also use it and increase battery size. Or if Samsung is just making the phone bigger to increase battery size and satisfy a common consumer complaint. Speaking to Samsung executives at the last two Galaxy phone launches, it's clear that the company views slimmer phones as part of a high-end mobile experience. Don't expect the space savings made by new motherboard technology to be filled with bigger batteries. At least not for this next round of phones. For now, Samsung is fully focused on shrinking smartphones down and claiming prizes, like the world's thinnest foldable phone.

Engadget review recap: Samsung Z Flip 7, Oakley Meta glasses, DJI Osmo 360 and more
Whew, it's been a crazy few weeks for us at Engadget. School may still be out, but there's no summer break for the steady stream of new gadgets coming across our desks. I'll forgive you if you missed a review or two over the last few weeks — we've been busy. Here's a quick rundown of what we've been up to, just in time for you to catch up over the weekend. The Z Flip 7 has decent battery life, bigger screens and more AI smarts. However, the cameras are dated and Samsung isn't offering enough utility on this foldable's second screen. $1,091 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $1,100 at Best Buy$1,090 at Walmart Alongside the Z Fold 7, Samsung debuted an updated version of its more compact foldable, the Z Flip 7. UK bureau chief Mat Smith noted that the company managed to provide a substantial overhaul, but there are some areas that were left untouched. "Certain aspects of the Flip 7 are lacking, most notably the cameras, which haven't been changed since last year," he said. "Samsung also needs to put more work into its Flex Window." There are some solid upgrades that will appeal to serious athletes and power users, but they don't quite justify the higher price. $399 at Meta Meta's first non-Ray-Ban smart glasses have arrived. While we wait for a more affordable version to get here, senior editor Karissa Bell put the white and gold option through its paces. "While I don't love the style of the Oakley Meta HSTN frames, Meta has shown that it's been consistently able to improve its glasses," she wrote. "The upgrades that come with the new Oakley frames aren't major leaps, but they deliver improvements to core features." DJI's Osmo 360 is a worthy rival to Insta360's X5, thanks to the innovative sensor and 8K 50 fps video. However, the editing app still needs some work. $530 at DJI Reporter Steve Dent argued that DJI is finally giving Insta360 some competition in the 360-degree action cam space. The design and performance of the Osmo 360 are great, but the problem comes when it's time to edit. "The all-new DJI Studio app also needs some work," he explained. "For a first effort, though, the Osmo 360 is a surprisingly solid rival to Insta360's X5." The Nothing Phone 3 might be the company's first 'true flagship,' but several specs don't match that flagship moniker. The bigger screen, battery and new Glyph Matrix make it a major step up from Phone 2, but camera performance is erratic and you'd expect a more powerful processor at this price. $799 at Nothing Nothing's first "true flagship" phone has arrived, ready to take on the likes of the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25. Despite the company's lofty chatter, Mat argued the Nothing Phone 3 is hampered by a lower-power chip and disappointing cameras. "While I want Nothing to continue experimenting with its phones, it should probably prioritize shoring up the camera performance first," he said. The redesigned Galaxy Watch 8 has a longer battery life and much more comfortable fit. The Gemini integration is actually helpful and the new health metrics and fitness guidance are useful. $350 at Amazon Samsung debuted a big update to its Galaxy Watch line when it unveiled the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. Senior buying advice reporter Amy Skorheim spent two weeks testing the new wearable, which impressed her so much she declared it was "Samsung's best smartwatch in years." You can read her in-depth review here. Here are the rest of the reviews you might have missed:
