One UI 8's dynamic color-shifting wallpapers will make your screen mesmerizing
TL;DR Dynamic wallpapers were spotted in a leaked build of One UI 8.
These wallpapers change colors throughout the day.
Powering on or unlocking your phone will trigger a gradient animation.
Although One UI 7 hasn't been around for long, it's expected to be replaced by One UI 8 this summer. As we inch closer to the release, a growing number of leaks have been revealing what we can expect from the update. The latest leak has uncovered some interesting new dynamic wallpapers.
Spotted by SammyGuru, there appear to be color-shifting dynamic wallpapers included in One UI 8. These new wallpapers can be found by going to Settings > Wallpaper and style > Change wallpaper > Colors. There are four different time-based color variations to choose from, and these colors change as the day goes on.
In the morning, you'll see soft shades of blue, followed by bright greens and blues in the afternoon. When evening comes, the colors shift to warm reds and oranges. And the day finishes off with purples and dark blue hues at night.
While color shifting is a neat trick, it gets even better with gradient animations. When you power on or unlock your phone, it's said that a smooth gradient animation is triggered with the final gradient becoming your wallpaper. However, if you set the same dynamic wallpaper for the lock screen and home screen, the animation will continue until it reaches that color again.
It's unknown if this dynamic wallpaper will be exclusive to the Galaxy S25 and S24 or if it will be available to all models eligible for One UI 8. However, it appears there are signs suggesting these wallpapers won't be exclusive.

Google Street View captured this man naked at home, and now he's $12,500 richer
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A man was captured naked in his yard by a Google Street View camera. Appeals court judges ruled that the company 'flagrantly violated' the man's dignity. Google now has to pay the man around $12,500. Street View is a Google Maps feature that offers a 360-degree view of any area at street level. This feature can come in handy when you want to virtually explore neighborhoods, landmarks, and more. These 360-degree views are stitched together from the numerous photos taken by the company's specially-equipped vehicles. As these vehicles snap photos at various times of the day, sometimes these cameras capture some things they shouldn't. That's exactly what happened to a man from Argentina who just got a big payday from the tech giant. As reported by CBS News, one of Google's Street View cameras captured an Argentine police officer naked at his home while walking around in his garden. In addition to capturing the naked man in his yard, the cameras also captured his house number and street name. After the images were splashed up online and shared on social media, the man sought compensation from Google in 2017, arguing that the firm harmed his dignity and that he was behind 6.5-foot-high walls. Last year, a court dismissed the man's claims, suggesting that he only had himself to blame for 'walking around in inappropriate conditions in the garden of his home.' However, the man went to an appeals court and managed to get the ruling overturned. According to the outlet, appeals court judges have now ruled in the man's favor, finding that Google had 'flagrantly violated' his dignity. With this ruling, Google now has to pay the man the equivalent of around $12,500 in Argentine pesos. 'This involves an image of a person that was not captured in a public space but within the confines of their home, behind a fence taller than the average-sized person,' the judges wrote. 'The invasion of privacy … is blatant.' Helping to seal the deal, the judges pointed to Google's policy of blurring faces and license plates as evidence that the company is aware of its duty to prevent harm. Although Google is now forced to pay up, the other two accused entities in this case — telecoms company Cablevision SA and news site El Censor — were absolved. The court found that although their actions helped the image spread, it also served to 'highlight the misstep committed by Google.' On a help document for Google's Street Views, the company notes that users can submit a report for an image to be censored. The option allows you to request for Google to blur imagery of your home.

Tesla Just Signed a Chip Supply Deal with Samsung. What Does That Mean for TSLA Stock?
Tesla (TSLA) shares closed higher today after the company announced one of its largest tech partnerships ever with Samsung Electronics. The agreement worth an estimated $16.5 billion will see the South Korean giant dedicate its new Texas fab to 'making Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip,' billionaire CEO Elon Musk confirmed in a X post on Monday. More News from Barchart Warren Buffett Warns Inflation Turns Business Into 'The Upside-Down World of Alice in Wonderland' But Weeds Out 'Bad Businesses' Why GOOGL Stock May Be the Market's Next Big Winner Alphabet Posts Lower Free Cash Flow and FCF Margins - Is GOOGL Stock Overvalued? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Despite today's gain, Tesla stock is down nearly 12% versus its high set in the final week of May. Significance of Samsung Deal for Tesla stock The Samsung deal is meaningfully positive for TSLA as it secures long-term access to custom AI chips critical for Full Self-Driving (FSD), robotics, and data center operations. Through this deal, Tesla gains supply chain stability and manufacturing oversight as well. The AI6 chip will unify the automaker's hardware across vehicles and robots, boosting efficiency and reducing reliance on Nvidia (NVDA). In short, the chip supply agreement is a strategic leap for Tesla's vertical integration and AI leadership, potentially accelerating product innovation, improving margins, and increasing the TSLA share price over time. William Blair Remains Dovish on TSLA Shares In a CNBC interview, William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer was nothing but positive on the Samsung deal announced today as it reinforces Musk's commitment to moonshot businesses like robotaxis, humanoid robotics, and AI infrastructure. These ventures are broadly expected to drive future value for the Austin-headquartered EV maker. 'Most investors want to see Elon do what Elon does best, which is innovate, and this certainly is a data point for that,' he argued. Still, the senior William Blair analyst maintained his 'Market Perform' rating on Tesla shares citing continued weakness in the company's core automotive business and the potential impact that the removal of EV tax credits will have on it post-September. Wall Street Agrees with William Blair on Tesla Investors should note that Jed Dorsheimer of William Blair is not the only Wall Street analyst that recommends treading with caution on Tesla stock. According to Barchart, the consensus rating on TSLA shares currently sits at 'Hold' only with the mean target of about $298 indicating potential downside of about 8% from current levels.

Oppo tipped to offer insane 7,500mAh battery in upcoming flagship phone
Oppo will likely launch its flagship Find X9 Pro later this year, and if rumors are to be believed, this phone will feature a giant battery and the as-yet unannounced MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. The Find X9 Pro could also feature a 200MP periscope camera and 50W wireless charging, according to that same tipster. The potential specs come from regular Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station who posted on Weibo about the Find X9 Pro. Based on a machine translation of the DCS post, these are some impressive specs, highlighted by the battery. The X9 Pro is set to feature a 6.78-inch display running a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip and a 7,500 mAh battery. Speciality phones can have larger batteries — at MWC 2024, my Tom's Guide colleagues saw an Energizer-branded phone with a 28,000 mAh power pack — but 7,500 mAh would be out of the ordinary for a more conventional flagship device. As an example, the current Oppo Find X8 Pro features a 5,910 mAh battery. While we don't include that device in our best phone battery life list, it was still impressive in our informal testing. DCS does not mention if the battery is a silicon carbon battery, which creates more battery cell capacity in the same amount of space as the more common lithium ion. Both Apple and Samsung are reportedly exploring using silicon carbon in their future phones. Oppo already uses silicon carbon batteries in its phones including last year's flagship. It means that despite the larger size, the Find X9 Pro will likely be smaller or the same size as its predecessor. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The largest phone battery I've seen is the gimmicky Oukitel WP100 Titan that doubles as a lamp and projector with a 33,000mAh battery. However, that phone also weighs just under 2 pounds. By comparison, the Find X8 Pro weighs 7.6 ounces. Typically, MediaTek announces its Dimensity chips in the fall, around September, and we expect a similar schedule for the Dimensity 9500. That should also be on TSMC's third-generation 3nm process, similar to the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. Oppo has largely been one of the first phone manufacturers to feature the top-end Dimensity chips in its flagship phones. Last year's excellent Find X8 Pro launched in the fall with the Dimensity 9400. Additionally, DCS claimed that the Find X9 Pro will feature a 200MP periscope camera plus a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, IP68/69 resistance and 50W charging. The camera is massive upgrade over the 50MP sensor in last year's model and could put the Find X9 Pro more on par with Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max — not to mention the iPhone 17 Pro Max coming in September. The fingerprint sensor was introduced in the Find X8 Ultra last year, and the OnePlus 13, launched in early 2025. Both those phones also got IP68 and IP69 resistance as well. Apple and Samsung are rumored to feature battery specs and charging speeds in upcoming devices that look a lot like their current models. So it'll be interesting to see if Oppo spurs either company to make changes down the road.
